The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Penhaligon's, Changing Constance is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. It opens with the warm and aromatic notes of cardamom and pimento seeds before giving way to a rich caramel heart. The base features vanilla, cashmeran, salt, and tobacco, creating a complex interplay between sweetness and warmth. This composition captures a sense of transformation, where each layer reveals new dimensions of its character.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for best results. The caramel and vanilla notes are most prominent initially but give way to the warm spiciness and tobacco base over time. This fragrance is ideal for cooler evenings when its rich, enveloping qualities can fully unfold.
