Penhaligon’s Fragrance Reviews, News & Deals

Founded in 1870 by barber and perfumer William Penhaligon, Penhaligon’s is one of Britain’s most historic and distinctive fragrance houses. From its Victorian origins in London to its present-day global reputation, the brand has always balanced tradition with eccentric charm. Known for its ornate bottles and playful storytelling, Penhaligon’s creates perfumes that are as much about character and imagination as they are about scent.

Over the decades, Penhaligon’s has built an eclectic portfolio: timeless classics such as Blenheim Bouquet and Hammam Bouquet, bold modern icons like Halfeti, and the whimsical, character-driven Portraits Collection with creations such as The Tragedy of Lord George and Changing Constance. Each fragrance reflects a sense of British wit and elegance, often weaving heritage ingredients like rose, oud, and spice into daring, unexpected compositions.

Today, Penhaligon’s stands as a house that embodies both refinement and playfulness. It is celebrated not only for its quality craftsmanship but also for its ability to tell stories through scent, making each perfume a character, a mood, and an experience all its own.
