The Story

Kensington Amber by Penhaligon's was launched in 2018 and is a creation by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. This fragrance evokes the rich history of Kensington in West London, designed to transport you back to strolls along elegant villa-lined streets and charming public squares. The composition opens with bergamot, providing a fresh citrus brightness that quickly gives way to cinnamon's warm spice. A heart of vanilla, benzoin, labdanum, tonka bean, and cedar creates a rich blend of sweet and woody notes, exuding nostalgic comfort.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The cinnamon notes are bright but fleeting, so layering it over a light moisturizer can help extend its longevity. Best suited for evenings or cooler days when you want a comforting and rich scent.
