AN OLFACTIVE INTRODUCTION: BOLD BLEND

AN INVIGORATING ENCOUNTER WITH PENHALIGON'S NEWEST ADDITION TO THE POTIONS & REMEDIES COLLECTION.

It runs. It jumps. It climbs on things it shouldn't. We're talking about Bold Blend, the newest fragrance from our Potions & Remedies collection. Created for those who move with intent, worn by those who know their mind. A formula to cast off the shackles of shyness and unleash your inner child – or put it simply, to say yes before you overthink it.​

Fresh, sharp, and cut with determination. Just as the scent breaks down boundaries, we break down the ingredients that make this fearless fragrance.

PEPPERMINT

Refreshing. Focused. Immediate. Peppermint leads the charge with an unmistakable sense of clarity. Distilled from the leaves of the Mentha piperita plant, its essential oil is both bracing and invigorating; a natural stimulant known for awakening the senses. Used sparingly, it offers a moment of sharpness. Used well (as it is here), it brings balance. Peppermint doesn’t just freshen a fragrance; it directs it with a jolt of joy. ​

VIOLET LEAF

Green. Subtle. Modern. Not to be confused with the floral scent of the violet flower, violet leaf delivers something cooler and more contemporary. Earthy, green, and ever-so-slightly metallic, it’s the ingredient that lends nuance and innovation to Bold Blend. Long been valued by perfumers for its ability to link brighter top notes with deeper base materials, it complements the freshness of peppermint with the earthy undulations of palo santo (more on that in a second). It’s not the loudest in the room, but it often sets the tone. Just a smidgen of boldness to push you out of your comfort zone.​

​PALO SANTO​

Resinous. Calm. Resolute. Palo santo, known as “holy wood" in Spanish, is an ingredient rooted in ritual and tradition. In perfumery, however, its appeal is far more than symbolic. When steam-distilled from aged wood, it produces a warm, slightly smoky scent with hints of cedar, citrus and incense. In this bold concoction, palo santo offers a gentle sense of structure, rounding off the sharpness of peppermint and the coolness of violet leaf with something more grounded. It’s the note that stays longest on the skin, and leaves the most lasting, most bold, impression.​
