What are the secrets of the British Aristocracy? Are they as educated, courteous and polite as they are claimed to be? "Portraits" is a tribute to the English spirit; between "settlement, humour and provocation". The family of "Portraits" grows with the inimitable William Penhaligon himself. The barber of Cornwall, who became the official perfumer of the British Crown, plays the game of "Portraits". This timeless fragrance for chic gentlemen opens with notes of bergamot and jasmine. This is followed by cedar and rose, which express its sophistication and warm character. Ambrox, sandalwood and vanilla boldly sign an oriental trail.

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.
