Penhaligon’s is a British brand of luxury niche perfumes founded in 1870 and named after its founder, William Penhaligon. This Englishman, no stranger to creativity and enthusiasm for trying new things, captured the characteristic pompousness of his time. His first perfume was the Hammam Bouquet – inspired by the atmosphere of Turkish baths.
Today, the Penhaligon’s range contains a number of distinctive fragrances for women and men inspired by unique situations, unusual places and magical moments. The best-selling of them, Blenheim Bouquet, was created in 1902 at the request of the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace. Another distinguishing feature of Penhaligon’s is its original bottles, still made according to the founder’s original design – clear glass, a stopper and a distinctive bow on the neck.
From its beginnings in the decadent Victorian era all the way to the present day, Penhaligon’s has been making niche perfumes for the most demanding customers; perfumes that tell stories and draw inspiration from the unexpected.
