Elisabethan Rose celebrates the Tudor rose, the emblem of England born of the union of the houses of York and Lancaster. The house makes it a light Damask rose, far from heavy, powdery roses.
A hazel leaf accord gives it a garden freshness, green and slightly woody, while vetiver anchors it discreetly. An aristocratic, airy rose of great restraint.

Elisabethan Rose in detail
Penhaligon's likes to draw on English history and myth. Elisabethan Rose, from the house's British Tales, evokes the Tudor rose: a fresh, green and very English rose, closer to a garden in the morning than to a powdery bouquet.
The house lists three main notes, without sorting them into stages. Rose is its heart, luminous and slightly fruity. Hazel leaf brings an original greenness, like a hedge after the rain. Vetiver anchors the whole in a dry, woody base that keeps the rose from turning sweet.
Elisabethan Rose is worn by day, in spring and summer: a walk in the garden, a lunch, a bright working day. It is an easy rose to wear for anyone who dislikes overly rich roses.
Three florals in our catalogue share its rose and vetiver: Elysium Absolue by Roja Parfums, surrounded by exotic fruit; Lyric Woman by Amouage, spicier and deeper; Birth of Venus by Argos, where the rose joins peach and citrus.
