PERFECTLY PENHALIGON'S SCENTS FOR ONE'S WEDDING
HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT FRAGRANCE FOR THE BIG DAY
Brides, grooms, and jealous onlookers alike – you must all smell the part when wedding bells are a-ringing.
So without further “I do” (ahem), peruse our guide to wedding perfumes – and be sure to select one which is marriage material.
LUNA
MOST SUITED FOR: THE BLUSHING BRIDE
If romance was a fragrance, its name would be Luna. Spritz this love potion and waft down the aisle on a cloud of orange blossom, jasmine, soft rose and fir balsam. Then watch as your beau falls in love with you all over again.
HIGHGROVE BOUQUET
MOST SUITED FOR: THE ESTEEMED GROOM
What could be more suitable for the man of the hour than a scent fit for a king? Indeed, this luscious and lively perfume has been concocted in collaboration with His Royal Highness King Charles’ gardens at Highgrove.

ARTEMISA
MOST SUITED FOR: THE MATRIARCH
You’ve bought the hat – now why not treat yourself to a new scent to mark this momentous occasion? (Marrying off daughters is no mean feat.) Artemisia is just the thing. A feminine amber fragrance, with an air of sophistication.
LORD GEORGE
MOST SUITED FOR: DADDY DEAREST
Shaving soap and rum. A scent made for the father of the bride, if ever we did smell one. This eau de parfum commands respect, with top notes of “I paid for this, don’t you know”.
BLUEBELL
MOST SUITED FOR: AMBITIOUS BRIDESMAIDS
Something borrowed, something blue – why yes, perhaps this fragrance will do? Bluebell is a fresh, dewy eau de toilette, piqued with a hint of clove. Now keep your eyes and your elbows sharp, and take your positions for the bouquet-catching.
BLENHEIM BOUQUET
MOST SUITED FOR: THE DASHING BEST MAN
Blenheim Bouquet is as dry and fresh as the best gin – or the best of British humour. Don it with care, and make sure one’s jokes, anecdotes, and public oration skills are up to snuff.
SARTORIAL
MOST SUITED FOR: OPULENT USHERS
Suited, booted, and smelling divine. For groomsmen, the final touch is a spritz of Sartorial, a classic fougère inspired by Savile Row. For if the pocket squares match, the scents must too!
THE FAVOURITE
MOST SUITED FOR: MISCHIEF-MINDED GUESTS
Should one wish to upstage the bride (without wearing white), well, this scent will surely do the trick. Iris, golden mimosa, musk: The Favourite never fails to ruffle a few petals.
current price £145 100 ml
