The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lily & Spice by Penhaligon's was launched in 2006, crafted by perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui. This floral fragrance opens with the bright and fresh notes of lilies, which are then balanced by a warm blend of saffron, pepper, cloves, and benzoin. The heart of the composition features a rich vanilla accord, while the base notes introduce a subtle animalic touch with musk and patchouli. It's this intricate layering that makes Lily & Spice both complex and inviting, a true reflection of Penhaligon’s commitment to elegance.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for best longevity. The spicy notes are prominent initially but give way to the rich vanilla and musk base after about an hour. Ideal for evenings or cooler days when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.
