Highgrove Bouquet
by Penhaligon's
Highgrove Bouquet opens with a bright, green floral note that evokes linden blossom and mimosa, creating a delicate, fresh impression reminiscent of an English garden in spring. The fragrance evolves into a soft, powdery, and slightly herbal composition with cedar and a subtle green tea-like quality, giving it a distinct linear elegance. It has a restrained sillage and moderate longevity, though some find the scent fades quickly and lacks the depth to leave a lasting impression. The overall effect is one of quiet refinement—gentle, unobtrusive, and balanced between floral sweetness and woody dryness, best worn during daytime over spring and summer.
Pros
- +Delicate, authentic English garden character with a strong sense of place and light
- +Well-crafted and balanced scents that avoid typical floral clichés
- +Fresh, green floral opening with a soft, powdery finish that feels elegant and timeless
Cons
- −Short longevity for an EDP, with many noting it wears off within four hours
- −Some perceive a musty or seaweed-like undertone, which disrupts the experience
- −Lacks sillage and projection, making it nearly invisible to others
