The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1977 by Penhaligon's, Jubilee Bouquet is a Chypre Floral fragrance that captures the essence of its era with a blend of powdery and woody notes. Perfumer Michael Pickthall crafted this composition to balance floral richness with earthy depth. The scent opens with chamomile and bergamot, providing a fresh and slightly herbal introduction, before blossoming into a heart of rose, iris, violet, jasmine, and ylang-ylang that is both lush and refined. The base notes of oakmoss, musk, sandalwood, and amber anchor the fragrance with a warm, mossy earthiness, creating an enduring presence.

How to wear it

Apply Jubilee Bouquet to pulse points for a more intimate experience, as it reads closer to skin than filling a room. The base notes bloom over an hour, so waiting a bit before heading out can enhance its lasting warmth.
