Newer Penhaligon's Scents?

[Leatherstockings]

I can't beleive I'm asking but....has anyone tried the new scents from Penhaligon's? They have a new series called Portraits that seems to be centered on scents named after fictional characters. I never see any of these on shaving forums. The newer stuff seems to be a departure from the more traditional scents/product lines like Blenheim Bouquet that I learned about when I entered the straight razor world 10 years ago. Blenheim Bouquet is one of my favorite all around scents.

On a related note I have enquired about Penhaligon's reviving their shaving products and it doesn't look like they will be doing so.

The newer scents I have tried are dreadful. The last new one I thought tolerable was Quercus. English Fern and Douro are gone, and that is a shame. Their shaving soaps were decent, but like so many good products they are gone too.

I'm wearing Sartorial today which was introduced sometime in the past decade. This scent reminds me of Drakar Noir but softer. Sartorial is inspired by the tailor shop Norton and Sons on Savile Row.
