Penhaligon's London - Highgrove Bouquet

Penhaligon's London - Highgrove Bouquet

The gardens of Highgrove, the country estate of King Charles III, are the man-made jewel of an avowed nature lover. Penhaligon's composes with Highgrove Bouquet the olfactory equivalent of these gardens created in various themes by the present King of the United Kingdom and then Prince of Wales. Grown and nurtured over four decades, Highgrove brings together a precious variety of complementary, flowering and fragrant flora in an almost magical garden paradise that rewards dedication and understanding of the complex interplay of nature with its aesthetics and splendor of color. Inspired by summer in Highgrove's gardens and the ever-present scent of silver lime trees in bloom, Penhaligon's London collaborated with Charles III during his time as Prince of Wales to develop a unique fragrance that emulates a walk through the beguiling splendor of Highgrove's gardens.

The fragrance:
Light as flowers and infused with summer warmth, the natural floral aromas of Highgrove Bouquet unfold. Geranium and lavender form the lively prelude to this extraordinary composition, which Penhaligon's combines with the sensual notes of blooming silver lime trees, as they define the summer months in the gardens of Highgrove. The melange of these components highlight gentle mimosa and tuberose, followed by spicy orris notes, cedar and musk. They give Highgrove Bouquet the mysterious depth and magic of an incomparably vibrant sunny floral fragrance. Penhaligon's iconic bottle, adorned with a dark green bow tie, gold accents and the house's classic emblem design encases Highgrove Bouquet. Ten percent of Highgrove Bouquet's proceeds go to training and education programs at a charity focused on sustainable agriculture and food, traditional crafts and horticulture. In keeping with this ethos, Penhaligon's avoids the use of plastic and instead relies on recycled and recyclable paper and organic ink to print its labels.
