How it unfolds
-
A lemon that stays dry
Lemon opens the scent, sharp and clean, with the dry brightness of peel rather than juice. Nothing sweet sits around it, so the freshness stays crisp. This is the side the brand compares to gin: cold, tart and precise. It sets the tone that the next two notes keep.
-
Lavender in the middle
Lavender takes over in the heart. It is aromatic, herbal and clean, and it softens the lemon without sweetening it. The bright edge of the opening turns calmer and greener, a middle that feels settled rather than sparkling.
-
Pine to finish
Pine closes the scent with a green, resinous coolness. It is dry and slightly woody and gives the fresh opening a steady ground to rest on. The result is a clean, brisk eau de toilette with very little sweetness from start to finish.
Wearing it
When, who and why
A light hand, any day
Eau de Toilette is lighter and brighter than an Eau de Parfum, so you can apply it freely: three or four sprays after a shower are fine, and a second round later in the day is natural. It suits spring and summer, the office and the weekend.
Who it is for
Blenheim Bouquet is one of the brand's fragrances for men. It suits people who prefer dry, fresh, aromatic scents to sweet ones, and who like a perfume with some history behind it. If you are looking for warmth, vanilla or gourmand notes, this is not the one.
Why choose Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Blenheim Bouquet was created for the Duke of Marlborough and dates to 1902, while the first fragrance of the house, Hammam Bouquet, appeared in 1872. That makes it one of the oldest names in the Penhaligon's range, and it still reads as a clean, dry cologne.

Questions
Frequently asked

Which notes does it have?
The brand's key notes are lemon, lavender and pine. Its description also names black pepper, which it does not place in any stage, so the pyramid here shows only the three.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
