When MrPenhaligonfirst made cologne (for royals and nobility,) he had set upin Mayfair, (the centre of Old-World civility).Our Dear Queen Victoria, and theShah of Persia soon wore his scent, and the request for a Royal Warrant hadswift regal consent. This was 1870, and the world was discovering what wouldone day be his legacy. The above is all true. Majestic and chic. Like a good friend, stimulating and comforting in equalmeasure. Like great art and music, uplifting. Composed in expert, meticulousdetail, but with strong, confident brush strokes - WilliamPenhaligońs ownscent. Beyond distinguished. A timeless classic, since 2020. Created with Vetiver, oneof perfumery ́s master ingredients. Earthy, warm and fresh. Woven inside anOriental structure, one of perfumery ́s mistresses of sophistication.
