If the house originated at the English court in 1870, where William Penhaligon was the barber of the Shah of Persia, Juniper Sling is a leap in time that takes us to the Roaring Twenties and their decadent parties. A woody and citrusy fragrance by Oliver Cresp in homage to the Singapore Sling, a fruity cocktail made with gin, cherry and lemon, whose notes go to our heads as soon as the first scent escapes. Juniper, angelica and ambrox explode into a fresh bouquet, recalling the vitality and effervescence of the golden youth of the time. Spicy notes such as cinnamon, pepper and cardamom with a hint of sugar evoke its hedonistic character. A dizzying fragrance, between gaiety and desire, where the ardor and the nocturnal ebullition mix with the lightness of an addictive fresh mixture.
Juniper Sling is a bath of vitality. The ideal fragrance to bring freshness to hot summer evenings. A unisex fragrance where black pepper first surprises the nostrils as lemon would in the mouth. The juniper comes to aromatize the spicy effect, to end up with a slightly sweet fragrance, full of tranquility.

perfume reviews
A woody eau de toilette with sparkling top notes reminiscent of gin and tonic, contrasted by the roundness of a musky base.

journalist opinion
A loving tribute to "London Dry Gin" and the British dandy spirit, this fragrance is built entirely around juniper berry, a major ingredient in the famous spirit, and is dressed up with cardamom, ginger and angelica. The nose Olivier Cresp benefited throughout the creation from the expertise of the mixologist of the Plazza Athénée Thierry Hernandez, to find in all its truth the euphoric sensation of a pure gin shot.

Penhaligon's
The founder of the brand, William Henry Penhaligon's, arrived in London in the 1860s to make a fortune and thus began his illustrious career. Creative and ambitious, William was inspired by the scents of the Turkish baths of the neighboring Jermyn street and created his first perfume, Hammam Bouquet, in 1874.
