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.
The intoxicant Hammam Bouquet is a subtle eau de toilette for men who want to go back to the past and set themselves apart from the others. The nice oriental touch is given by the rose and the iris. An original fragrance in Penhaligon's range.... more

Deep, soft, dry and rich, like a very rare vintage Pomerol. Malabah shower gel enriches this fragrance without overpowering it

One of the most original and evocative scents I have ever come across unusual, and very different but not gimmicky. I'm a woman who prefers very masculine scents but this would be a scent for a discerning person of any gender. Nothing else quite like it anywhere.... more

A Great Fragrance Review

Next to Esprit du Roi, I think this is possibly my favourite from Penhaligon's it's one of the oldest, and they have editied it over the years, but it remains a classic - there is nothing quite like it. I love the unique balancing between the top and the rose (so wonderfully, authoritatively handled ina n essentially male fragance) to sandalwood - it is an extraordinarily warm, reassuring and relaxing fragrance. Lavender can be tricky for some skins, although here it is introduced well and disappears quite quickly into the core notes. One it moved into dry-down, the shift between the base notes is subtle the fragrance changes continuously. A huge recommend form me... 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
