BRITISH TALES

SPRITZ LIKE THE BRITS

 

 

A single sniff of our British Tales collection returns you to a time when words like “flapdoodle”, “horsefeathers” and “mulligrubs” were common parlance. Yes, you are among the lords and ladies of the 19th century, breathing their room-filling aromas and floating on their elegant clouds of vapour. For this collection consists of Mr Penhaligon’s original concoctions, as fresh and beguiling as they were over a century ago. ​

But these perfumes are not just a looking glass to the past. Among their number you will find works of modern alchemy and inspiration. These select, signature scents epitomise what Penhaligon’s stands for today – housing both the lingering notes of history, and the bright bouquets of the future.

TRADES ROUTES

FOR THOSE WITH A NOSE FOR ADVENTURE

 

 

It is 1804. A fleet of ships arrives at the London Docks. They bring tea, they bring spices, and oh they bring scents. Mysterious miasmas. Rich and heavy aromas from exotic reaches of the world. These are the inspirations for our Trade Routes collection.

Dress yourself in such notes as saffron, cedar and myrrh – as if they only just spilled from the trunks of great explorers, or the holds of royal galleons. Allow your senses to carry you to the sands of another land. And remember a time when much of the world was but a blank space on a map, and we could know it only through its scents.

PORTRAITS

THE WORLD'S MOST FRAGRANT FAMILY

 

 

Let us introduce you to a family like no other. One of ambiguous relations, sordid secrets, and of course, dazzling aromas. Its members are varied: rivals, lovers, lords, ladies, mistresses, murderers (the list, like their many quibbles, goes on indefinitely). What do they have in common? The great Mr Penhaligon is their esteemed perfumer! He knows them all, and all too well.  ​

These unique characters are the collection. Each perfume is their bottled essence – an olfactory portrait of their spirit. Elegantly adorned with the beasts that best represent them. So come in, meet this most complex (and fragrant) family. We’re certain they’ll make quite the impression.

BALMS THAT CALM AND SPRAYS THAT ASSUAGE

 

 

These are the newest concoctions from Penhaligon’s apothecary, and the ultimate foil to maladies of mind, body and spirit. Crafted from ingredients that have for centuries lived in the cabinets of physicians and the palms of healers, we distil these gifts of nature for their potent effects: soul-soothing, heart-mending, libido-reerecting (to name but a few).    ​

​Bathe yourself in this heady mix of fragrance and function. For these are not just heavenly aromas; they are perfumes with purpose. A single spritz is all it takes to impart their boons and blessings upon your person.  ​

​There you have it. A closer look at the chronicles, characters and concoctions of Penhaligon’s – as told by our collections. Which is right for you? Follow your heart. Or, failing that, your nose.
