The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1902 by Walter Penhaligon for Penhaligon's, Blenheim Bouquet is a lasting Citrus Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of early 20th-century sophistication. The composition opens with vibrant citrus and aromatic notes, providing a fresh and invigorating start. As it evolves, green and coniferous elements introduce a hint of outdoorsy freshness, while woody and spicy accords lend warmth and depth to the overall experience.

How to wear it

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

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.
