So…Tralala by Penhaligon's and eccentric fashion duo Meadham Kirchhoff, aka the latest fragrant opus by the British niche brand. It presented two major stumbling blocks for me, when I first heart about it. Luckily I was able to sample it in real time and see whether my qualms were founded in reality or they were a figment of my imagination. I wrote a full review on the scent for Fragrantica which you can find on this link. [You're welcome to comment either here or there on it.]
Tralala will launch exclusively at Harvey Nichols on April 21 and at Penhaligon's boutiques and at www.penhaligons.com on May 5, priced at £150.
I have been curious about this new scent for some time and your review made me even more curious. Thank you for the draw.
ReplyDeleteSorry, the above comment by Anonymous is mine.
ReplyDeleteAlways excited by the chance to try a new perfume. Thanks, Judy
ReplyDeleteI've spritzed a few penhaligons and liked a few too but I've not yet seriously sampled one. A sneek preview sounds lovely,
ReplyDeletety
Your review is very enticing. Thank's for the fabulous draw!
ReplyDeleteI'm in, as always when I'm around.
ReplyDeleteI am always eager to try something new. Thank you for a chance.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about a fragrance that goes as far as leaveing you puzzled!
ReplyDelete;)
Thank you for the draw and for the fun review at Fragrantica!
Penhaligon's has yet to launch a fragrance that I * MUST * have , but I am very interested in this list of notes . What fun to be able to try it before release ! Thanks for the opportunity .
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try this if only because you called it schizophrenic in Fragantica!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this draw Elena.
I am intrigued by this scent but that name...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
The notes and your review makes me curious. The name sounds so carefree to me, but I do wonder if I would find the perfume too powdery. I guess it depends on the blend, so please include me in this generous draw!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting, and I'd love the chance to try it. I read Last Exit to Brooklyn within the past year, but I never even thought of the character when I heard of this perfume.
ReplyDeleteMy Penhaligon experiences are sketchy but I'm a fan of Duchafour and an eccentric note list. Nice review and thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteSo funny that this is everything and the kitchen sink kind of perfume. I am curious.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I don't know the film you spoke of, so I kind of love the bottle! It's so totally de trop-and the contents are unusual. I dunno what to think. I have tried the Penhaligons sampler pack, and I have had a bottle of Love Potion number 9, which I adored.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for your review-it will give me food for thought, for sure!

I would love to go into the draw Helg just to find out if they will release that same bottle or was it was a joke! LOL
ReplyDeleteMmmm - I could always take that ribbon off and put it into Moi Moi my Pekingese hair - its her colour ! :)
Would love to have a chance to try a great new fragrance! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteOoh, please count me in! The mix of notes sounds very interesting, and the name can't help but remind me of the Eloise books. Thank you for the draw!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the draw!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so intriguing!
ReplyDeleteThe review makes it sound so weird and interesting! Thank you for the draw :)
ReplyDeleteI love those scents that seem familiar, but that are different so this could be the first of theirs I'll need.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Thanks for the chance! I am excited about Tralala.
ReplyDeleteJust read your infuriating and intriguing review on Fragrantia which left me with more questions than answers - in a good way. I hope that this fragrance is released in Australia somewhere as I must try it. Thanks for your delicious writing!
ReplyDelete*Fragrantica (sorry for bad typing!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for yet another great draw! I'm excited to (possibly) have a chance to try it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for yet another great draw! I'm excited to (possibly) have a chance to try it!
ReplyDeleteGreat review and description of fragrance that seems hard to describe and definitely made me want to try it
ReplyDeleteThe notes sound mad! I'd love to try it. Penhaligon's perfumes are so varied, I love Elixir but Bluebell is scary. I love the fact they're taking on Duchaufour for some of their creations, moving on from the Victoriana feel
ReplyDeleteCuriosity totally piqued!

Please enter me into the draw. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAs an Amaranthine fan, I'm so looking forward to trying this. Thank you for the draw.
ReplyDeleteI read your review over on Fragrantica and I must say I'm intrigued. I'd love a sample to see for myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to trying this one. Thank you for the draw.

ReplyDeletelove hammam bouquet ,sartorial and would like to test also this
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring me to not only want to try a perfume, but to read a book! I'm now off to read Last Exit to Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the draw.
If there is any similarity between Tralala and L heure Bleue and L apres onde, It can be very interesting scent. I would be happy to try it. Thanks for doing this giveaways, Lubka
ReplyDeleteI love the picture you have chosen - I'v just read Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes which sounds like a more pleasant association than Last Exit to Eden. Would love to try the fume though!
ReplyDeleteFrom the description of the notes i could imagine a mix between the Velvet Underground and Cindy Lauper, a "Femme Fatale just wanna have fun"......something of fatale, but also strong, a little bit smoky and "alchoolic", but sweet at the end.....
ReplyDeleteI'm Marius from Italy
I would love a chance to sample this perfume! Its video presentation makes it look mysterious and innocent at the same itme, i am very intrigued!
ReplyDeleteThis is a list of notes that has me hooked, I admit. All my favorites in one place! Please include me in the draw, loved the review.

ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this perfume! Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, the Penhaligons shop in Paris left me cold and I really haven't taken their fragrances seriously since but you make this one sound so intriguing ... Please include me in the draw. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethanks for the opportunity,I'm pretty sure this perfume will be hard to find in my country
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the name. I haven't tried a lot of Penhaligon fragrances but would love to try this one. Thanks for the draw and the opportunity to try this.

ReplyDeletelove Pehhaligans and would love to win this new scent. thank you for the draw.
ReplyDeleteTralala is a strange name for a fragrance as if not be taken seriously but I am curious now anyhow and would love to try this. Thanks for the draw!
ReplyDeleteWoah! Such a gaudy pick of notes (and packadge at that - truelly I don't know whether I love it or hate it, and it's not a bad thing, I find it amusing at the very least :D). I'm highly intrigued about the overall effect, especially in terms of comliance with the works of Meadham - Kirchhoff, hence I'm expecting sg. eccentric, controversial, frilly but heavy-weight baroque pomp and good dose of irony? black-humour?
ReplyDeletePlease give me a chance to have a scent in my craziest moments! :D Thanks for the draw!
I would like to be put in the draw.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the draw! I am intrigued by your review - not for the first time - especially that "atypical aldehydic resinous note" sounds terrific.
ReplyDeleteBest, Mia
I'm always curious to sample a new scent and your review makes me even more curious. Thanks for the draw.

ReplyDeleteThe notes sound quite interesting -I'd love to try this! Thanks for holding this drawing for it.
ReplyDeleteTralala sounds like something I'd really like to sniff. Thanks for the exciting chance to preview it!
ReplyDeleteThe listed pyramid notes speak of a pretty complex and sophisticated fragrance! I hope I will have the chance to sample it - please, enter me into the draw! Thank you for this great opporunity!
ReplyDeleteyou had my curiosity, now you have my attention.
ReplyDeleteThis lines from your article on Fragrantica "which contain a bit of everything and the kitchen sink: from aldehydes to whiskey and leather to incense through vetiver, tuberose and carnation. (It actually also includes such disparate things as saffron, violet, patchouli, and vanilla.)" made me suspect that the Tralala formula is a left over from Bertrands creation of L'Artisan Explosions de Emotions trio. Probably he will sell his new almost disharmonic-cacophonic style to more then one nichehouse I'm still a bit puzzled about the Explosions trio, and it would be very intriguing to test Tralala to se if my suspicions are correct. Thank you for the draw:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, this is very generous of you! I'd love to try Tralala, especially after reading your review. Sounds like it requires quite a few testing rounds:)
ReplyDeleteEvery new Duchaufour's scent means one thing: sniff-alert!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this chance, best regards- Ela
I'd love to try this!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the draw- sounds like a great new fragrance.
