World Duty Free stores at UK airports will host the exclusive duty-free launch of the new Penhaligon’s Elisabethan Rose EDP 100ml from January 24th.
Fit for a Queen, like Elisabeth’s crown. Grab your hats Ladies, the definitive Rose fragrance has come to town!
In reverence and respect, we honour Penhaligon’s ELISABETHAN ROSE, 1984 with Penhaligon’s ELISABETHAN ROSE, 2018.
Until now the double rose was found in our history books, one of the many books that are so hard to find in the library. – or on the tea service. Our heraldic crest on the family silver is discrete.
But as my tutor so brilliantly put it the War of the Roses ended, finally, by marriage because dynasties have been built on both the battlefield and in the bedroom.
And today we introduce another union. An olfactive union. Which, you will note, or should I say smell, is of no less historical significance.
A fragrance with (of course) a most commanding presence. Regal. Demanding. Imposing. And yet so perfectly at ease. Delicate indeed. Hazelnut leaf summons the outdoors with bite, freshness and crunch, (just like the gravel underfoot as one peruses the rose garden and takes in its scented air after rain).
Woven with all the precision of a tapestry, around it cinnamon and almond oil swirl like raw edible silk. But do not be fooled. This is anything but a gourmand. Being sweet is what we ask of our children. As women we frequently have hazardous territories to maneouvre.
But later, if the company is right, One might reveal a softer side. Red Lily unfolds. (Dudley, is that you?) and Rose Absolute smells like Heaven. Luminous and round.
A fragrance of character. Vetyver and wood gallop through the night, cloaked in musk, and show that strength and softness are most excellent bed fellows. Indeed, this is a most enveloping and appropriate fragrance to wear to bed.
