This fragrance opens with clean and bright lavender, before giving way to spicy notes of pink pepper. Orris root at the heart leads to a powdery, sophisticated scent, while the base is softened by a milky and comforting blend of vanilla and oakwood. 

Omniscient Mister Thompson—aka the all-seeing, all-knowing spy—is a member of the Penhaligon's Portrait collection. The heritage-steeped perfumery was established in 1870 when a Cornish barber set up shop on Jermyn Street in London. Some 155 years later, the line is still imbued with British idiosyncrasy, and synonymous with royals, rebels, aristocracy, and the well-to-do. 

Key notes: Pink pepper, orris, sesame seeds.
