The perfume – WILLIAM PENHALIGON
Somewhere in England. On a country estate, the most diverse characters come together. Lady Blanche, who is looking for revenge. Lord George, who expresses concern in the face of a possible scandal. Countess Rose, who is hoping for a fiery adventure. Or Teddy, who ambitiously promotes his rise in society. What appears to be a play with fictitious characters flows into Penhaligon’s Portraits as an almost tangible whole. A scent, masterfully portrayed with palpable dramaturgy. Incomparable in its own way and a passionate homage to the founder, William Penhaligon. A work like a composition of art or music. Warm and earthy from the bergamot and cedarwood. Surprising and fresh from the vetiver and jasmine. Add to this an enticing touch of the Orient from the sandalwood and ambrosia. A perfume, as discerning as its wearer. The vibrant bottle with a striking topper in the form of a ram becomes the gentleman’s statement. Assertive, unyielding, proud. The curtain falls. What remains is thunderous applause.
