description
Blenheim Bouquet, a 1902 fragrance by Walter Penhaligon, takes its name from Blenheim Palace in England. Walter Penhaligon created Blenheim Bouquet for the 9th Duke of Marlborough with notes of lemon, spice and wood as a tribute to the best British gin. This fragrance made more than a hundred years ago is still a must: it combines fresh notes of lemon and basil with lavender, which gives it an aromatic lightness. A pinch of black pepper enhances the cedar notes. A perfect harmony between citrus and spice scents on a woody background, characteristic of a perfume that is both a great classic and an innovative fragrance. "Blenheim Bouquet is scented with citrus and spices that I like to smell with a handkerchief and keep in my cupboard", all that was needed to please Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, who adopted the fragrance himself.

nose reviews

Ideal to wear right after a bath, thanks to its refreshing effect, Blenheim Bouquet is the ideal fragrance for aficionados of clean and citrusy scents. Its light and fresh scent transports us to the heart of a morning in the woods with its invigorating cold air, surrounded by pine and citrus trees. The lavender gives it a floral aroma and the musk reinforces its hold so that it accompanies us throughout the day.

perfume reviews

The composition is resolutely fresh, thanks to the notes of citrus peel, but also spicy and animal. In the background, a smoky effect very brought by the gaiac wood.

journalist opinion

Austere like a beautiful classic Cologne (Sir Winston Churchill adopted it and kept it until the end of his life), this century-old fragrance opens with an exhilarating and stimulating whiff of citrus (bergamot, lemon, bitter orange) immediately softened by a beautiful orange blossom. Then comes what finally makes its mark: the camphorated and resinous notes of pine married to cedar, thyme and vetiver. This purely addictive combination is fresh, warm and persistent, halfway between the worlds of perfumery and aromatherapy. This discreet luxury fragrance, without extravagance, with a touch of tempered arrogance, is the signature of an English perfumery that has unfortunately lost its codes in globalization.

Penhaligon's

The founder of the brand, William Henry Penhaligon's, arrived in London in the 1860s to make a fortune and thus began his illustrious career. Creative and ambitious, William was inspired by the scents of the Turkish baths of the neighboring Jermyn street and created his first perfume, Hammam Bouquet, in 1874.
