Penhaligon's Opus 1870
Head Notes: Bourbon black pepper, Yuzu fruit, Coriander
Heart Notes: English Clove Rose, Cinnamon, Incense
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Australian Sandalwood, Ciara wood, Musk
Created in 2005, Opus 1870 is a complex and elegant woody chypre. Opening with a luxurious accord of sweet citrus and fiery black pepper, the heart is lit by the delicacy of English Clove Rose and evocative incense. The base notes are glorious, smoky waves of aromatic cedarwood and sandalwood. Opus 1870 is wonderfully warm and comforting, a fragrance to wrap yourself in on cold winter nights.
The Penhaligon's Story
Over 135 years since the doors of the
Penhaligon's barber shop first opened on Jermyn
Street, William's hugely precious archives
continue to inspire and inform everything we do.
Our passion is to carry on his incredible legacy of
creative and innovative perfumery, challenging
the traditions of the art and seeking new ways to
interpret elegance.
We continue to work with master perfumers who
can interpret our distinctive ideas; conjuring up
new perfume sensations that flow against the
tide.
A hand-written formula by
William Penhaligon
Contradictory ideas don't come bolder
than our best-selling men's fragrance Blenheim Bouquet . At its launch 1902, this was a brave new direction. Citrus based, it opposed the rich, heavy florals that were feted at the time. The world soon caught up with William's way of thinking.
Today, our scents are still made in England using the finest rare ingredients - from hand squeezed bergamot, to jasmine at twice the price of gold. Our signature Penhaligon's fragrance bottle is to William's original design: clear glass with a distinctive ribbon-wrapped stopper.
