Blenheim Bouquet
Blenheim Bouquet by Penhaligon's is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 1902 in the luxury price tier. It opens with lemon, lime and lavender, moves into pine and black pepper and dries down to white musk and oakmoss. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
