The Art of Layering
Ah, the art of layering. For those in the know – or should that be nose - this is a particularly savvy way to ensure your fragrance lingers for longer and create a sumptuously bespoke scent that is distinguishable to all that wear it. Though it may be tempting to indulge oneself in all of Penhaligon’s finest offerings, we recommend sticking to a single collection or scent to ensure a complementary concoction that isn’t too overpowering.
Step 1.
Aside from being utterly bespoke to those that adorn it, layering is also a wonderful way to help a fragrance linger for longer. Start from the very beginning with Penhaligon’s Hand & Body Wash to ensure skin is cleansed with a light layering of perfumed pleasure.

Step 2.
Of course, a lasting scent isn’t the only added benefit to layering. Treat your skin to Penhaligon’s newest arrivals. Enriched with Argan Oil, this absorbent duo of Dry Body Oils leaves skin feeling as radiant as a new love affair. Simply, lather onto dry skin after a bath or shower and, remember, a little goes a long way.

Step 4.

The piece de resistance of one's layering ritual. To lock in such perfumed pleasure, simply spritz your chosen fragrance onto pulse points and rest assured your lasting scent is certain to leave an impression.
So this is love. A mysterious perfume heady with rose, grapefruit and spice.
