Company Info
History
Penhaligon's is an iconic English fragrance house, which produces 22 fragrances for both sexes. Now known as much for its eclectic collections of handmade glass, silver, and leather goods as its fragrances, the company dates back to the late 1860s, when Penzance native William Penhaligon opened a barbershop next door to the Hammam Turkish baths in London. A true Victorian of sharp wit and creative passion, Penhaligon soon counted the highest ranks of London's most cosmopolitan society as his patrons, as the city's bon-vivants flocked to Penhaligon to try his lush and exotic fragrances.
Royal Warrants
Penhaligon's gained its first Royal Warrant near the end of the reign of Queen Victoria. Since then the company has obtained Warrants from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 1956 and HRH The Prince of Wales in 1988.
The Bottle
All of Penhaligon's fragrances come in a signature clear glass bottle with a distinctive ball-shaped cap. The necks of these caps are wrapped in trademark fabric bows, which are usually decorated with the individual colors of the fragrance. A recognized symbol of Penhaligon's the company considers these bottles to be important sources of tradition and exclusivity.
