Originating from The Original. A compliment to time passed. Inspired by the Turkish baths of Jermyn Street Mayfair, which from which William Penhaligon first found inspiration: Hammam Bouquet, created in 1872.
When trimming, amongst others, the Shah of Persia’s beard in 1871, William Penhaligon esteemed barber was fond of using a splash of eau de toilette. Hammam Bouquet was his first creation. The beginning of a long and remarkable story in smell. Ever since it has taken pride of place in the House’s ever expanding library of scents - the first, and the most daring of orientals.
Indeed, wearing Hammam Bouquet, whilst clothed at best in a bath robe - one is sure to be underdressed! This is a bold concoction, luxurious, worn by men of distinction not shy of leaving an impression, or a fragrant wake. Like all fine things it should not be hurried. Linger over lavender and powdery orris. Inhale the deep rich rose, relax into the sandalwood and musks. Heady and sensual, it is always preferable (don’t you think?) to take one’s time.
At first it is very potent and strong, after a while your are sent to another time and place in the orient. It is mesmerising , mystic, warm and absolutely indescribable .... You are in love instantaneously ........ more

Like An Old Friend...... Review
09 August 2016
by Jim Seymour
Provokes nostalgic memories of encounters in certain clubs in St James. A warming, hard-to-define fragrance which manages to be both old-fashioned and contemporary, as distinctive as wearing your Mont Blanc cufflinks in your Turnbull and Asser shirt. Will it attract attention? Most defininitely, but only that discreet kind of attention beloved by gentlemen the world over. More likely to be appreciated by the cast of "Downton" than "Made in Chelsea".....enough said. This is a classic, well deserving of it's place in the Penhaligon's Hall of Fame.... more

Bold, Confident, And Unique Review
17 September 2014
by Patrick Geary
If your goal is to smell like every other man and fade into the faceless crowd, look elsewhere. With Hammam Bouquet, you will make a bold and compelling statement. It is lush, sensuous, and forthright. It adds class and distinction to your persona, and exudes classicism and confidence. I wore it at my wedding and always splash some on when I want to be at my very best. Created by Mr. Penhaligon himself, it remains untouchable among the pantheon of truly great men's fragrances.... more

Genies Of Luxury And Yet Chummy Sanctum. Review
02 April 2014
by anonymous
Hammam has been my inner sanctum of scent for very many years, and never fails to summon up the genies of rich Turkish rose and sharp sandalwood as befits the furnishings suggested by its name.
Both my first and latest passport into Penhaligon's luxury and yet somehow chummy world.... more

Warmth And Time Travel Review
25 November 2013
by Dorian
'Animalic and golden, it is warm and mature, redolent of old books, powdered resins and ancient rooms.' - When I read this, I gained simultaneously a high hope and a deep wariness. The Hammam Bouquet could not be better summarised by myself. All I can say is I could bathe myself in it before doing anything remotely Victorian. After a good 10 hours, the base note of amber seems to be predominant - mulled slightly with remnants of rose and musk. A truly delightful experience.... more
