A perfect new addition to my collection. I have nothing quite like The Favourite. Powdery and divine with violet leaf, mimosa and Indian sandlewood. It is a soft, sensual and delicately feminine scent. I love layering with the lotion for extra wear and indulgence

The Favourite is the perfect musky floral with a hint of powder. It’s very feminine and slightly intoxicating in a good sense. It’s also got a tinge of mandarin and bergamot at the top which I believe rounds off and perfects this fragrance as a whole!

The Favourite is such a beautiful bottle elegantly decorated to house the most wonderful powdery and floral scent. I love to layer this after using the Favourite hand and body wash and hand and body lotion.

My favourite is the The Favourite! This soft and powdery scent fun playful and friendly - an easy everyday wear. Subtle enough for the office but still leaves an impression!

Pretty, powdery fragrance
A pretty and powdery fragrance, youthful and summery. A small spritz is plenty, and perhaps a top-up midway through the day. A lovely mood-lifter on darker days too, to channel a bit of summer in the midst of winter.

To The Favorite, This is a beautiful story inspired by Sarah Churchill bring it to the feminine and bold floral scent with a fresh zesty Mandarin and Bergamot as opening with a blend of violet leaf! Velvety oversized bow tie in pink with velvety finish trigger the powdery scents like orris, and later then mimosa and jasmine scent is well combined. The base with Indian sandalwood, amber and musk for the soft touches finish! This is one of my favorite perfume I will never forget! I loves to spray The Favorite at my skirt line and while I am waking the scent will surround around me! I always get compliments while I wearing The Favorite! From, Me, My Favorite!

The Favourite for me was a love at first sight, I'm in love with the fragrance! it is definitely one of my favorites! Such a feminine and sophisticated fragrance with powdery, fresh and floral notes. When I wear it it gives confidence and makes me feel safe at the same time. Great with its lotion for a long lasting effect!!

The favourite is one of my ‘’favourite’’ scent from Penhaligon’s!! One of the ingredients is ‘’Jasmine’’ and I love anything about Jasmine! Personally, I will use it as my morning perfume as it’s sweet and powdery.

This is a scent that will definitely give you more charm and elegance. Imaging all those beautiful ladies in a ballroom wearing long gowns and dancing waltz. Fresh start of mandarine and then you discover astonishing beauty of flowers like Freesia and Mimosa, and then a soft and slightly sweet scent of sandalwood and musk appear.
by Catherine Hanna
Exquisite!
Absolutely loving this fragrance. It was purchased for me by my sons. I'd never smelled it previously. It's certainly a little more powdery than my usual purchases but that's not a bad thing. I've had numerous compliments to date. It's my second favourite after Halfeti.

My new favourite
This was a blind buy for me. I love Penhaligon fragrances. My favourites are Artemisia, Luna and Empressa. I read the ingredients in this and thought what the hell. I’m not disappointed. This is my new ‘favourite’. It’s so pretty. Lightly floral, lightly powdery, extremely feminine with just the right amount of sweetness. Don’t me afraid to purchase if you like, pretty fragrances. This is perfection and the bottle is beautiful. Thank you for an amazing fragrance ❤️
by Surita Dass
optimism In a bottle
It’s more than a fragrance, it’s a feeling. A feeling of sunshine and powdery notes of Iris and sandalwood but honestly, the mimosa sold me. This fragrance is my 2020 fragrance, despite what’s going on in the world today this fragrance brings me joy and happiness. I’m looking forward to wearing it this summer when out with friends.

Make way for the Queen of Parfums
What I like about this beautiful fragrance is its queenly scent that leaves an evocative smell, hinting on playful memories and creates a luxurious air around one. There are not too many floral notes in this Eau de Parfum, but the golden mimosa is prominent, creating a sense of elegance in a powdery fashion, enveloped by the creamy layer of sandalwood. This baby-pink aroma is the perfect element to elevate one’s day, encapsulating the bold presence of The Favourite’s persona. If you want to feel opulent at minimal effort, then this is a must-have fragrance to have! @zena._

The Favourite, always has & always will
This bottle of wonder needs not be introduced. Here we have her wrapped up in a velvet bow waiting to be undone and to rest upon your skin. One may look shy but looks can be deceiving. She shall leave her mark of musc on you and the vanilla cloud will carry you through the day. What a playful sweet fragrance she is! The favourite : always has and always will be.

My new Favourite
I love this! It's girly, but a woman can wear it. It's soft, floral with sugar-sweetness. It makes me feel youthful and full of promise. When I first spray it I sometimes smell an herbal note --maybe a touch of dill, but then it goes away and you smell the powdery violet, iris and mimosa floral notes. The Favourite smells like pink fluffy, sugar flowers on top of a cake and I adore it. The dry-down is also so soft and wonderful. The pink bow and packaging matches this fragrance to a T.
