The Portraits Collection
Have You Made Their Acquaintance?
Each with their own unique story to tell, our Portraits collection is a fragrance family like no other – suffused with scandal and olfactive fiction.
Here, you’ll discover every character to set your nostrils twitching. New ones keep coming out of the woodwork, and the plot ever thickens.
The World According To Arthur
An incensed (though, not like the rest!) warrior in a sweet- scented garden of sage wisdom and wit.
Rich, noble, deceptive. Like our patriarch, this woody perfume has secrets.
Will Yasmine’s scent of jasmine, incense and oud help her lure a suitable match?
Keeping Up Appearances
Our Portraits collection is quite unique from the more traditional Penhaligon’s fragrances. One can tell at a glance at the hand-drawn packaging designs by talented Icelandic illustrator Kristjana Williams.
Masters of Olfactive Fiction
To create these distinctive scents, we enlisted some of the best noses in the industry – Alberto Morillas, Daphne Bugey, Marie Salamagne, Christophe Raynaud and Juliette Karagueuzoglou to name just a few.
