To choose a Penhaligon’s perfume as your personal scent is to be reminded to dream big. Founder William H. Penhaligon was perhaps the most remarkable example of this, setting up shop as a Cornish barber before chasing – and achieving – his desire to become the dazzling olfactory entertainer he’s remembered as today. Fashion’s elite, political figures, royalty: all have been charmed by the British House’s concoctions. Want to be added to the list? The Penhaligon’s Halfeti eau de parfum is, much like the black rose, shrouded in mystery and will blossom into a fragrance favourite, while Cairo, Bluebell and the Portraits family will confirm just why the storied brand has been bestowed multiple Royal Warrants.
