Penhaligon's composed it for the Duke of Marlborough, whose family lives at Blenheim Palace, hence its name. It is one of the house's great classics, with a thoroughly British dryness.
Lemon dominates, clean and sparkling, joined by lavender and pine needles that give it an aromatic twist. A touch of black pepper adds bite. An elegant, sugar-free citrus scent that seeks not to seduce but to remain impeccable.

Blenheim Bouquet in detail
Penhaligon's, a house founded by a Jermyn Street barber who became perfumer to the court, tells the story of England with humour and panache. Blenheim Bouquet belongs to its British Tales, the house's great classics; it bears the name of Blenheim Palace and was created for a Duke of Marlborough. It is a dry, lively citrus fragrance, presented as an eau de toilette.
The house lists four main notes, without sorting them into stages. Lemon dominates, crisp and almost sharp. Lavender brings a classic aromatic touch. Pine needles add a resinous freshness, and pepper a spicy touch that gives the whole its character. Volute classes it among citrus fragrances, the house placing it among its refreshing scents.
Blenheim Bouquet is worn by day, in spring and summer: in the morning, at the office, or on a day when you want a crisp, polished fragrance.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: 1872 Masculine by Clive Christian shares lavender and pepper; Colonia by Acqua di Parma brings together lemon and lavender in an Italian eau de Cologne; Elysium Pour Homme by Roja Parfums pairs lemon and lavender with aromatic herbs.
