Blenheim Bouquet

I'm so glad I discovered Blenheim Bouquet and other Penhaligon's perfumes. It is fresh and uplifting and it makes me feel confident, because it is not overwhelming in any way. I love the smell of citrus, lavender and pine.

Blenheim Bouquet is everything the name a suggests, an array of scents that quickly build over time- Never silent but never overpowering, understated but with a presence. Overall, the scent is definitely mature, but not outdated. It is stately, without being pompous; the lemony freshness does add an unexpected whiff when first apply and makes one wonder at the way it progresses. Its other distinction is its versatility- amazing how it portrays citrus on cotton, but sprays lavender on wool! Instagram: lavshav

The first time i tried this scent, i was on the way to The Ritz hotel London for the first time with my mum for her mother's day treat in 2016. What an enchanting fragrance. The sharpness of the citrus entwined with under notes of spice. A true mix of sensual femininity and masculine energy. Both bold and fresh and oozes sheer class. This fragrance worn on such a magical summers day will never be forgotten. Simply exquisite

Perfect balance of citrus and spice. Blends in without effort and lasts through the entire day. It is elegant, it is simple and it is perfect!!

I had several bottles of BB over the years. The formula changed over time to the point that the pine notes became very watered down. Fortunately a real "restoration work" has been done. I would like to congratulated the work that Puig did with the house of Penhaligon's since it became its new owner. BB is back to its original beauty! The packaging became more luxurious: heavier glass, no wobbly caps anymore and big thumbs up for the magnetic closure of the box. I'm very happy with my purchase. If like me, you used to wear Blenheim Bouquet in the early 1990s, I can assure you that you can safely order a bottle "unsniffed". It's as good as before.

Crisp and fresh with a bit of a bite. It's become a firm favourite with both my partner and myself, high praise indeed as he is picky to say the least.

A wonderfully fresh, clean scent with a dash of spice at the end. The perfect shirt and tie fragrance. I only wish it lasted a little longer on my skin.

It was in Pakistan, in the former residency of the Swati Wali (The King of Swat), actually Serena Hotel, the place where I first met with this amazing fragance. Since than I have been using, gelously, my gift-samples. Nowadays, back home, I should not choose a better porfume other than my lovely Blenheim Bouquet.

Stayed at a hotel in London who only use this fragrance in the rooms. Loved it so much that I purchased soap, candles and bath products. Every time I use it I think of hotel 41. Definitely unisex.

Powerful and seductive. yet subtle and pleasing

This fragrance is aptly named "bouquet", as it's array of notes are displayed in a most pleasant and elegant manner to the nose, much like a fine bouquet of flowers. What is so unique about this fragrance, and why it is a triumph, is how it perfectly handles and displays such a plethora of interlocking notes. This is the kind of fragrance that will brighten the day of a passerby while you are wearing it. A great investment!
