The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Penhaligon's, Juniper Sling is crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp and stands as a proof of the brand’s long-standing tradition of elegant sophistication. This woody-spicy scent opens with juniper berries and orange, creating an aromatic freshness that transitions into warm spices like cinnamon and pepper. The heart features angelica and cardamom, adding depth and complexity before settling into a base of leather, orris root, vetiver, sugar, cherry, and amber. Juniper Sling is neither conventionally masculine nor feminine, making it a versatile choice for those who appreciate nuanced, layered scents.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points; the aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting. The spicy warmth and woody base will develop over time, making it ideal for daytime wear that evolves into evening.
