It’s called Highgrove Bouquet. Something to do with King Charles.
I ordered a sample which arrived today.
So fresh and interesting.

Anyone bought from Penhaligon’s? Any recommendations?

I love Penghaligon but they don’t last very long on me (with the exception of Duchess Rose).

I wore Luna for my wedding day, it was gorgeous and smelling it transports me back to the day 🥰

Need to save up to buy a bottle of Duchess Rose but am interested in the new Highgrove Bouquet.

i bought 2 different scent libraries recently and have been working my way through them. Cairo and Constantinople are the favourites. Each time I’ve worn these 2, random people have commented about the wonderful smell (but not in an overpowering hay fever inducing sort of way). They have proved to have staying power too. I just need to decide between them now.

I love Iris Prima. I think it is discontinued but the perfume parlour dupe is fabulous

So my highgrove sample arrived today! Just spritzed it and not sure it's the one for me. Smells a little like toilet freshener on me but I did also receive two other samples for the same postage price, lily of the valley and malabah (which I hope I don't love as it's been discontinued!).

Does anyone have a link for penhaligon samples that doesn't involve the scent matching game? I have been trying to test Bluebell and Vaara...

My husband wears Endymion which smells amazing on him. I bought him Opus 1870 as a surprise but it smells better on me so I've claimed it! He does wear it occasionally.

@TheDanceOfTheTomato Thank you so much for these links.... both out of stock, sadly, but I am now on an email list for when they are available. Thanks again

TheDanceOfTheTomato · 30/04/2023 20:39

No problem!

DeathWinsAGolfish · 30/04/2023 20:41

I wear Halfeti in the autumn / winter and Quercus Spring / Summer.
DD1 -20 has worn Luna or Juniper Sling since being 18, and DD2 has just chosen The Favourite for her 18th.
Love Sartorial on DH or Douro.
High grove is very sweet and floral.

I miss Violetta too. We have a Penhaligon's store close by, this thread is inspiring me to pay a visit and maybe buy a scent library.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 30/04/2023 22:32

I finally manages to smell highgrove. I quite like it but I'm very into the spicy trade routes ones just now.
Currently wearing endymion though because I love it.

I’m not a fan of Highgrove - I thought I’d like it based on the scent profile but it’s not for me!
