About this deal

At the end of the day I like and accurate citrus also love lavender and I like the subtle pinch of pepper, just works. Several perfume masters tried to capture the smell of everything that exists among which the creators of this sublime colossus of the aforementioned Maison. A fragrance to give or treat yourself, as a symbol of time that passes without changing what really matters. I can't smell like this, I thought, and that's when I knew: Sitting at my dressing table with an enormous empty bottle looking in the mirror I saw it in my eyes.

Despite writing a horrible review slamming it, my Savoy Steam did not last long and I'm on bottle two.Unfortunately I can't smell any lavender and the lemongrass note is dominant, but it's still nice, aromatic and refreshing. The clear, crisp lemon note is very straight forward and blends with the lavender in a sheer and airy way. It becomes way too sour and then dry, with herbals that make me envision something used to season fish entrees (oregano?

I was trying to swim and crawl, I reached the surface of the sea water finally by somehow, but the air I could breathe was filled by grey smoke regrettably. Very interesting unisex combo of citron, cardamon (not listed but smells very distinct on me), lemongrass, black pepper and evergreen. The classic fresh citrus perfume, created originally for the Duke of Marlborough, now in a luxurious hand and body lotion. 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? Several years later I decided to try it again, and this time I was able to appreciate the drydown and complexity of this.

In that sense, Penhaligon's deserve some respect for keeping one of the company's earliest perfumes going in spite of its scent profile. It means more on the masculine side and I’d say is the perfect started fragrance for those who want to start building up their wardrobe.

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. Very surprising - never been a fan neither to lemon nor lavander but this musky woody mix is very nice, gives a very clean classy feel. Un pulito non banale, un pulito molto complesso e articolato, diverso dai classici splash agrumati che nelle note di testa sembrano avere più somiglianza con un detersivo per piatti che con una istituzione profumiera. I wasn't a big fan of the perfume, on me I got a huge blast of lemon in the begining which eventually almost completely faded to just a woody musky cedar like scent. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.The opening citrus notes do not last very long, although they're wonderful for the time they're there.

This smells very clean, without being neither powdery nor soapy (I especially do not care for powdery). Following the success of Hammam Bouquet in 1872, a hommage to Orientalism, Penhaligon’s sought to create an ode to European fragrances. It's not the invigorating citrus one seeks in summer; rather it's the quietly uplifting citrus that one sometimes longs for in the cold. Penhaligon's was, at least until desperation and Christian Provenzano walked through the door, the epitome of aristocratic fragrance. At first I didn't care too much for this scent, but because of the bottle design I kept reaching for it.The fragrance takes me to a woodland of a morning with a cool breeze, surrounded by pine trees of which very prominent to me in this fragrance.
