The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Elisabethan Rose by Penhaligon's is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet. The composition centers around May Rose and Rose Oil, creating an opulent floral heart that is both classic and contemporary. Hazelnut and Almond add a subtle nuttiness, while Tangerine and Black Currant bring in fruity freshness. Vetiver and Woody Notes ground the scent with earthy warmth, and Orris Root adds a powdery touch, making it a rich yet balanced creation.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points and left to develop naturally. The nutty and fruity top notes are fleeting, so a second application after an hour can help maintain the full richness of its character throughout the day.
