The Gentleman's Groom Room are proud to announce we are now and official authorised stockist of Penhaligon's London.
The spirit of William Penhaligon, their founder, touches everything Penhaligon's do. An Englishman living in an age of excess and flamboyance, William was witty, wildly creative and always inspired by the unusual. Hammam Bouquet, Penhaligon's first scent, was dreamt up by William in 1872 after inhaling the steam and sulphurous aromas of his neighbouring Turkish baths. These were wild ideas for wild times, and it is still the way they work today. Inspiration comes at the strangest moments and places: a magical moment, a stolen view, an idea crystallised. Over 140 years since the doors of the Penhaligon's barber shop first opened on Jermyn Street, William's hugely precious archives continue to inspire and inform everything Penhaligon's do. By the end of Queen Victoria's reign, William Penhaligon had been appointed Barber and Perfumer to the Royal Court and in 1903 the business was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Alexandra. Now, Penhaligon's hold two long-standing Royal Warrants from HRH The Prince of Wales (granted in 1988) and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh (granted in 1956.) Penhaligon's scents are still made in England using the finest rare ingredients - from hand squeezed bergamot, to jasmine at twice the price of gold. The signature Penhaligon's fragrance bottle is to William's original design: clear glass with a distinctive ribbon-wrapped stopper.
