Behind every great perfume is a story, a place, a memory, and a muse. At Shop & Beyond, we curate fragrances and collect stories worth wearing.
This blog will introduce you to the origins, scent profiles, and feelings evoked by three of our collection's most recognizable fragrances: Parfums de Marly Godolphin, Oud Wood Intense, and William Penhaligon.
Each bottle holds legacy, artistry, and a feeling that lingers long after the spritz.
William Penhaligon: A gentleman's signature
Step into a time capsule of classic British elegance.
Inspired by the original 19th-century founder of the house of Penhaligon's, William Penhaligon, it is a tribute to refined masculinity.
It opens with crisp citrus and spices, which makes it bright and familiar, before unfolding into deeper leathery woods and warm amber.
Think old-world barbershops, tailored suits, and handwritten letters.
This perfume is heritage bottled for the modern man with a timeless sense of style.
It wears best on crisp mornings, at important meetings, or on quiet evenings when you want to leave a lasting impression.
Oud Wood Intense: The darker side of luxury
This rich, velvety perfume is built around rare oud, smoky, resinous, and complex.
Layered with incense, tonka bean, and creamy sandalwood, it's the olfactory equivalent of dim lights, leather armchairs, and late-night conversations.
Oud has been treasured for centuries, and this modern take balances boldness with subtle sensuality.
It's powerful but never loud, distinctive but never overpowering, and ideal after dark for important nights.
Godolphin by Parfums de Marly: The scent of quiet power
Borrowing its name from royal racehorses, Godolphin blends fresh thyme, spicy saffron, and cypress with a refined floral heart of jasmine, rose, and iris.
It carries an aristocratic confidence wrapped in quiet power.
What makes it unique is its floral-woody scent with weight, elegance, surprise, and intention.
It is perfect when you want to stand out at lunchtime meetings, formal events, or moments when presence speaks louder than words.
