The house

More from Penhaligon's

Penhaligon's goes back to 1870 in Britain, when William Henry Penhaligon, a barber from Cornwall, founded the house and later served as perfumer to the court of Queen Victoria. Today it pairs that history with playful, character-led scents, many named like people in a story. Warm spice runs through much of it: cardamom, saffron and black pepper over vanilla, amber, tobacco and sandalwood. Start with Halfeti, woody and spiced with an aromatic lift. Changing Constance is caramel and vanilla with a peppery glow, and The Blazing Mr Sam is tobacco and spice over woods. Empressa is the bright one, citrus and fruit.
