Endymion is named after a hero of Greek mythology, of legendary beauty. The house makes it a soft, classic masculine cologne.
Bergamot opens it lightly, over a heart of lavandin and geranium. Coffee and suede then give it a velvety, almost leathery warmth, which cedarwood extends. A warm aromatic scent, far more enveloping than a traditional cologne.

Endymion in detail
Penhaligon's, founded by a Jermyn Street barber who became perfumer to the court, tells the story of England with humour and panache. Endymion, from its British Tales, bears the name of the shepherd loved by the Moon in Greek mythology: a gentleman's cologne, between lavandin, coffee and suede.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Bergamot, lavandin and geranium form a classic aromatic start. Coffee brings an unexpected roasted note, suede a velvety, leathery softness. Finally, cedarwood gives a woody foundation to this eau de Cologne, warmer than most.
Endymion can be worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or every day for those who love comforting aromatic fragrances.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue come close: Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfums shares geranium and cedarwood; Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums and Fall of Phaeton by Argos find bergamot again, in much more intense ambers.
