Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet(1902)
At a glance
A monumental classic originally created in 1902 for the 9th Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace, famously worn by Sir Winston Churchill. Breaking traditional Victorian perfume rules of its era by completely omitting heart notes, it unleashes an invigorating, razor-sharp citrus burst of Amalfi lemon, lime, and lavender. The scent transitions directly into a dry, aristocratic, and fiercely masculine base of forest pine needles, black pepper, and clean musk.

This scent's musk note is almost certainly synthetic — discovered by accident in 1888 while researching explosives.
