Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet 50ml EDT Spray
Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet is a storied English classic, born in 1902 and named after Blenheim Palace, the seat of one of Britain’s most respected lineages. This fragrance remains bracing and timeless—a citrus-spiked, spice-laced composition that has evolved with every era while staying true to its aristocratic roots.

The scent’s evolution—from bright to warmly sophisticated—keeps it interesting from morning to night.
