Walter
Penhaligon
Walter Penhaligon inherited the House of Penhaligon's from his father William Henry Penhaligon, and in 1902 created Blenheim Bouquet — composed for the Duke of Marlborough — the house's most enduring fragrance, notable for its crisp citrus, pepper, and pine departure from the florals fashionable at the time.

Francis Kurkdjian
Radiant luminosity and ethereal transparency. Kurkdjian's fragrances glow — they possess an inner light that makes them feel both airy and profound. His palette favors ambroxan, saffron, and delicate florals, composed with a musician's instinct for harmony.

Jacques Polge
Refined elegance and measured sophistication. Polge's compositions for Chanel embodied the house's aesthetic — never too much, never too little, always precisely right. His fragrances have the quiet authority of impeccable tailoring.

Olivier Creed
Noble materials and classical structure. Creed fragrances are built around the finest natural ingredients — ambergris, royal water, hand-selected musks — composed in the traditional infusion method that has defined the house for centuries.
