Home / Penhaligon's
Alchemist William Penhaligon fused his first fragrance in 1872 and named it Hammam Bouquet after the Turkish Hammam baths next to his barbers shop in Piccadilly. By creating scents for the nobility his reputation developed and when he created Blenheim Bouquet for the Duke of Marlborough in 1902 it was secured. This fragrance later became a favourite Winston Churchill. Up until this time gentlemen's scents were mostly rich and floral; Blenheim Bouquet was bright and zesty, one of the first citrus scents created, with a Mediterranean impression. William Penhaligon was appointed barber and perfumer to the royal court during the reign of Queen Victoria and since then Penhaligon's has been three royal warrants, the most recent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in 1988. Over the past thirty there have been many exciting developments however the diaries and formulae of William Penhaligon remain the key. Ingredients are gathered from all over the world to create fragrant products that are exotic and unique setting Penhaligon's apart from the rest and assuring discerning, dedicated devotees the most exclusive. Penhaligon's is one of the few true perfume houses left in the world: still designing and making its own scents; twenty-two unique fine fragrances evoke a magical world of decadence and pleasure. All products come beautifully packaged in Penhaligon's livery packaging. Receiving any of these most exclusive creations is sheer delight for the recipient; artistry and enchantment in a box. |
