“It was once upon a time. Not quite such a very long time ago. About 154 years. William was a barber. Penhaligon was his name. He had left behind his Cornish sea, took a train and before long was hanging the sign with his name above the new barber’s shop on Jermyn Street.”
THE DANDY
Penhaligon’s presents The Dandy, a woody celebration of whisky blended with mischief.
Through glitter and smoke, we arrive, a mood of deep mischief from all sides, swaying in time to boots tap-tapping. Set aside all inhibitions, my friends, for when we descend the party shall never, ever, ever end.
Glide by the visionaries, brush past the artists, loosen that tie ready to ruffle some feathers. Leave lipstick on mirrors (and collars), sip golden brown liquor from crystal-cut tumblers underneath chandeliers.
Midnight strikes to the tune of the brass band, the trumpets and the sax a-shakin’ right through the glass. This is the Land of Jazz, you see, swinging to the rhythm of whisky, de-bop-be-de-doo-dop and bourbon beats.
Oh, how raucous we were in that den, where the spirits were high and the cocktails flowed. We floated through a glamorous haze towards the speakeasy stage in that place, The Dandy, where we call home… and we danced forever.
THE DANDY 100ml EDP
PERFUMER – Fabrice Pellegrin
An eau de parfum paying homage to endless nights.
Let’s take it from the top. A perfectly aged whisky – straight from the oak barrel, a fine vintage for a dapper institution – with a twist: bergamot, of course, full of effervescent charm.
Raspberry glitters next to patchouli (you fruity thing), refreshed by cedrat with a syrupy finish – just how we like it. And now for the bass line: ambrox, oak, cedarwood and smoke.
If these walls could talk. Now, will you take another glass?
