Penhaligon's Opus 1870(2005)
At a glance
A complex, aristocratic woody-spicy fragrance crafted as a homage to Penhaligon’s founding year. It opens with an uplifting, dry sparkle of black bourbon pepper, yuzu citrus, and coriander seed. The heart introduces warm clove, cinnamon, and a subtle rose, leading to an exceptionally dry, refined base of cedar, smoky guaiac wood, and creamy sandalwood.
