Scent of the Month

This month's scent is Penhaligon's Malabah - "inspired by an imaginary journey along the East Indian spice route. The opening notes of citrus, green coriander and smoky earl grey tea give way to a heart of sublime rose, ginger and aromatic spices. The soft base introduces orris, sweet musks and amber."

Scent of the Month

This month's scent is Penhaligon's Lily & Spice. Described as 'sensual and edgy... Saffron, the world's most expensive spice, earthy and warm, wraps itself around the oozing sweetness of White Madonna Lily. The final effect is remarkable, outrageously beautiful, dark, sweet, earthy and creamy'.

Scent of the Month

This month's scent is Penhaligon's Douro Eau de Portugal. It was first created in 1911 for Sir Percy Croft and "named after the port producing region in Portugal; the Douro Valley. This stylish and mellow delight begins with sharp green limes and soapy bergamot, blending with garden fresh geranium and lily at the heart. Then the base notes of musk, oakmoss and sandalwood start to assert themselves, imparting a leathery quality. Underpinned with labdanum, a bitter resin that imparts a unique leathery note, Douro Eau de Portugal is a deep and intensely aromatic cologne."

Scent of the Month

For this month's fragrance we chose Quercus - 'a light burst of citrus and basil, supported by a heart accord of jasmine, cardamom and muguet that is sweet, spiced and supremely delicate. The greenness of the basil persists into the surprisingly resilient musk and sandalwood base notes. These are warmed through with moss and patchouli to create elegant, strong and uplifting cologne. Named after the Latin for the British Oak.'

Scent of the Month

Our scent for the month of June is Artemisia, described as 'both floral and fruity with a beautifully sensual powdery dry down. Caramel soft, sweet, powdery and silky. A tumble of green apples and nectarines washed with jasmine tea and sprinkled with a luxurious medley of violet, cyclamen and lily petals. All this softly unfolds with great subtlety surrounded with layers of honeyed vanilla, warm spices, a touch of amber and a hint of musk. Haunting and addictive.'

For May our scent is Lily of the Valley - 'Opening with warm soft touches of citrus and bergamot, its heart of overflowing with the beguiling scent of creamy white flowers; rose, ylang ylang, jasmine and lily of the valley.

Scent of the Month - April

For April we chose Blenheim Bouquet - 'created in 1902 and taking its name from 

Blenheim Palace the seat of one of England’s most respected bloodlines, 

Blenheim Bouquet is a bracing mix of citrus oils, spices and woods... Blenheim Bouquet 

is discreet, sensual and immaculately turned out with a flash of heritage flourish.'

Scent of the Month - March

Our scent for the month of March is Penhaligon's Bluebell, described as the pure and unadulterated distillation of the scent of bluebell woods. 'The telltale earthy sweetness of hyacinths rises through the soft citrus notes and mingles with rose, lily and jasmine at the heart. As it settles the flowers give way to spicy clove and cinnamon. Tremendously evocative of wet earth, moss and rain, it instantly transports you to the woodland, surrounded by dripping leaves, skin tingling with spring.'

Scent of the Month - February

Our scent for the month of February is Endymion, which is described as a sensual fusion of citrus, spices and leather. It opens with a burst of sweetened mandarin wrapped gently in sage and lavender, then settles gently into a dark coffee heart. As it warms up, mysterious resins rise up with hints of creamy nutmeg, cardamom and the softest leather. Spicy and fresh, it is a fragrance of contrasts, a seductive night time fragrance. Endymion was a mortal who was so loved by the Goddess of the Moon that she put him to sleep forever so she alone could visit him every night. That being said, here is what we would wear along with Endymion.

Scent of the Month - January

We recently purchased Penhaligon's Scent Library, and loved how completely different all of the fragrances are from each other. We wanted to pull together an outfit each month to represent each of the scents. First is Opus 1870, which is described as: a complex and elegant woody chypre. Opening with a luxurious accord of sweet citrus and fiery black pepper, the heart is lit by the delicacy of English Clove Rose and evocative incense. The base notes are glorious, smoky waves of aromatic cedarwood and sandalwood. Opus 1870 is wonderfully warm and comforting, a fragrance to wrap yourself in on cold winter nights. 

With that in mind, here's what we would wear, in addition to Opus 1870.
