ideal for autumn & winter
Truly unique; praising the subtle vanilla with aged wood doesn't do this scent justice. With the compliments I've received wearing this, and consistent praise on how warm and mysterious it smells, I know I found my new go-to for the colder seasons.

A Scent All Its Own.
This is the first time I've purchased a scent from Penhaligon's and so glad I chose Babylon to be my first. The packaging is so beautiful and the bottle is incredibly gorgeous; it's very thick glass, large vibrant label, caramel liquid and the cap has a beautiful glass ball on top with a hand-tied ribbon wrapped around the base of the lid. The smell is nothing like I've ever smelled before! I know that doesn't quite describe it but Penhaligon really hit it on the nail with their description. It has a sweet and warm vanilla smell with this almost antique or aged wood behind it. In my opinion, this scent is unisex and could be presented masculine or feminine depending on your preference. It's very long lasting and withstood my 8 hour work day, a 2 hour workout session and lasted well into the night. This is true for both skin and clothing application. This would be a great scent to wear during fall and winter, but you choose to wear it whenever you'd like to be transported! I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to add something beautiful to their counter/shelf/cabinet and wear a scent unlike any other.

Mysterious, sexy, alluring, yet understated - the fragrance of a lifetime
I could write many words, and this fragrance would still remain undescribed. It is round and warm and sexy, but it is elegantly light and understated. A perfect personal fragrance, for every day, forever.
