Application Tips

Blenheim Bouquet has a subtle but lasting presence. A single spritz is enough to capture its essence without overpowering the wearer. It pairs well with daytime activities and can be layered for more significant occasions, allowing the woody base notes to come through gradually.

Walter Penhaligon portrait

Walter Penhaligon inherited the House of Penhaligon's from his father William Henry Penhaligon, and in 1902 created Blenheim Bouquet — composed for the Duke of Marlborough — the house's most enduring fragrance, notable for its crisp citrus, pepper, and pine departure from the florals fashionable at the time.
