William Penhaligon

William Penhaligon — The founding imagination of British perfumery

William Penhaligon came from Cornwall to London, where his work as a barber developed into a pioneering fragrance house. The atmosphere of the Turkish baths on Jermyn Street inspired Hammam Bouquet, his first fragrance. At RichandLuxe, that historic creation offers a focused encounter with the founder's legacy rather than the later work of the house's many composers.

Olfactory Signature

Hammam Bouquet connects a floral and warmly aromatic perfume world with the imagery of Victorian London. Explore it as a carried expression of the house's origins, allowing its texture and development to reveal the composition. Its historical significance adds context without replacing the pleasure of the fragrance itself.
