Launched in 1872 by William Penhaligon, Hammam Bouquet is one of the earliest fragrances from this storied British house. The composition opens with a bright and refreshing blend of bergamot and lavender before diving into a heart of rose and jasmine that adds a delicate floral complexity. Orris root and cedar provide an earthy underpinning, while musk and amber lend a warm, enveloping finish. This fragrance is not just a proof of the craftsmanship of its era but also showcases Penhaligon's early mastery in blending traditional scents.

Application Tips
Given its rich base notes, Hammam Bouquet benefits from being applied in layers. Start with one spray to allow the floral heart to bloom before adding another layer for a more pronounced warmth. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
