About this deal

It is better than almost all the portraits and a lot of the newer but not new stuff like Juniper, Endymion and Quercus. Read about this perfume in other languages: Deutsch, Español, Français, Čeština, Italiano, Русский, Polski, Português, Ελληνικά, 汉语, Nederlands, Srpski, Română, العربية, Українська, Монгол, עברית. The other notes give it a bit of an elderly/mothball impression but overall it smells like old money, not a retirement home. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons. Three weeks in to the New Era of Austerity and I gave in to a sudden urge to splash myself in signature brew, only to burst into tears as soon as I smelled it swirling around me.

Considering it is over 100 years old it still remains as modern and discreet as the day it was created.Il suo obbiettivo era forse più simile al sanificare, dare una nota di "pulito" al viso di un fumatore. Penhaligon) to contemporary urban beards Blenheim Bouquet has always transcended the infidelities of time.

Classic, lovely, and refined, Blenheim Bouquet is citrus artfully wed to lavender, with depth added by pepper and beautiful pine. I had fond memories of "English Fern," so I went there to ask which of their fragrances could be considered the driest, least frivolous, and, more importantly, which would accommodate this stench of smoke that would not go away. I do fear that we may be in the sunset of this age in perfumery and personal accoutrements, and while it all still holds on by a thread, why not relish it? I grew up in North Carolina and the smells of lemon/lime remind me (only in the context of this fragrance) of my days drinking Sprite and eating homemade key lime pie. BTW, I love Penhaligon as a frag house and my favorites are Douro, Extract of Limes and Castile but Blenheim is nowhere close to being in this league of legends !The deodorant was excellent but is no longer made (as an aside any fan of Penhaligons now discontinued deodorants will find the Geo F Trumper ones a good replacement). The clear, crisp lemon note is very straight forward and blends with the lavender in a sheer and airy way. all of the "Missing" photocopy signs pasted all over every surface that nobody ever had the courage to remove, so they just disintegrated over time, while we walked by them, day in, day out, and watched. However, the citrus top notes are very short-lived, and as they fade they seem to take the crisp, green woodsiness of the pine with them. A scent that unfortunately doesn't even remotely remind me of its legendary larger than life wearer Winston Churchill.

Furthermore, the pine in some formulations comes across as too strong for others who feel that it smells like floor cleaner or furniture polish. A citrus cologne, with architecture far more formal,crisp and aristocratic than a simple white shirt. It is citrusy due to the overipe Lemon, but as it dries down it is giving me Fruity Loops cereal milk. There's not much more here than sherbet-y lemons, incense and a bit of musk and pine, but it's so nice!

I always thought of this as a summer fragrance, but it's the perfect scent for this time of year and the low temperature. Unfortunately I can't smell any lavender and the lemongrass note is dominant, but it's still nice, aromatic and refreshing.
