Launched in 2016 by Penhaligon's and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, Roaring Radcliff is a bold aromatic-spicy fragrance that captures the essence of a warm, smoky hearth. The composition opens with rum and bergamot, creating an intriguing contrast between sweetness and freshness. At its heart lies tobacco, honey, and beeswax, evoking the cozy comfort of an old-world study. As it dries down, cinnamon and amberwood add warmth and depth, grounding the scent in a rich blend of spices and woods.

Application Tips
Apply Roaring Radcliff in layers for a nuanced experience — start with one spray to let the bright top notes shine, then add another after 30 minutes as the warm spicy heart begins to emerge. This fragrance blooms closer to the skin, so aim for pulse points rather than spraying it into the air.
