I was just at my local mall and decided to stop into the Art of Shaving store. Imagine my surprise when I encountered Penhaligons fragrances. The knowledgeable sales rep told me that several of the AOS stores are participating in a pilot program to feature Penhaligons fragrances. They are not selling any of the Penhaligons shaving products, mind you, just a selection of eight men's fragrances. They have the fragrances displayed to match each of the four major "scent" groups of their products. IIRC, they have Opus 1870 and Zizonia recommended for their sandalwood line; Sartorial and Endymion for their lavender line; Quercus and Duoro for their lemon line; and Blenheim Bouquet and Juniper Sling for (I think) their unscented line. Anyway - eight great fragrances, now quite accessible at my local mall. Boy did I smell good walking out of that store. And what a difference it makes to try before you buy. Right now I'm leaning toward Sartorial and Duoro.
