THE STORY OF PENHALIGON’S

The story of Penhaligon’s is the story of Britain, a land where mavericks and happy accidents power the ever-unfolding future​.

This is the story of a man who conjured dreams and possibilities through the power of perfume. ​A passage of time and scent. Burnished by history, gilded with pleasure, for rebels of the future.​

This is the story of a cornish barber William Penhaligon who travelled to London and opened up shop next to London’s finest tailors. Who received the royal warrant and trimmed the Shah of Persia’s beard. At a time when one’s toilette was of primordial concern and to be a gentleman was an affair of great application.
