Penhaligon's

By the end of Queen Victoria's reign, William Penhaligon had been appointed Barber and Perfumer to the Royal Court. In 1903 the business was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Alexandra. Now, over 140 years later, we are proud to hold two long-standing Royal Warrants from HRH The Prince of Wales (granted 1988) and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh (granted 1956.)
Royal Warrants are a mark of recognition to individuals or companies who have supplied goods or services for at least five years to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh or HRH The Prince of Wales. Warrants have always been regarded as demonstrating excellence and quality, and are highly prized.

Today 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.
From the atmosphere of a tailor’s workroom on Savile Row to a Bluebell wood after a spring rain shower; inspiration comes at the strangest moments and places.
