THE BLAZZING MR SAM - PENHALIGON'S

💨 The Swagger Formula

The Blazing Mr Sam isn’t just a scent — it’s a persona in a bottle. A brash American businessman in Penhaligon’s fictional aristocratic family, Mr Sam is all about confidence, spice, and unapologetic charm. His olfactory signature? A fiery cocktail of cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper, cooled by cedarwood and patchouli, and wrapped in musky woods and ambered resins.

This GCMS reconstruction from the Monsieur Dupe Collection captures the full swagger of the original — but with molecular clarity. Think: Iso E Super and Cashmerane as the tailored suit, Musk T and Globalide as the cologne-soaked skin, and mandarin, guaiacwood, and coumarin as the after-hours grin.

🪞 The Vibe

It opens with a spiced citrus flash — mandarin, orange, aldehyde C18, and a whisper of grapefruit (methyl pamplemousse). Then comes the heat: cinnamon, isoeugenol, thymol, and caryophyllene. But Mr Sam doesn’t shout — he smolders. The drydown is a woody–musky hum of patchouli, cedar (Virginia, Atlas, Alaska), guaiacwood, and ambroxan, softened by vanillic lactones and creamy musks.

It’s Spicebomb in a velvet tuxedo. Halfeti with a Texan drawl. A scent that walks into the room like it owns the deed.
