🌟 About this video
So last year, I made this video reviewing 5 fragrances from Penhaligons:
✨Trying Penhaligon's fragrances: Halfeti, Luna, Elizabethan Rose, Empressa and The Favourite • Penhaligons Fragrances...
Since then, Penhaligon's fragrances have released the Potions and Remedies range and the apothecary style packaging attracted me! But were these perfumes living up to expectations?
I review and rank all of the fragrances in the Penhaligon's Potions and Remedies range and compare them to other fragrances that they remind me of.
But what about you, did you try anything from the Penhaligons Potions and Remedies and do any of them remind you of anything? Do you have any other suggestions for me to try from Penhaligons?
Special thanks to ‪@roseandjones8390‬ and ‪@ems_h.eartnotes‬ for some of the samples.

1870s wow! I love how their bottles hold on to the traditional packaging. But weird that it is not British anymore but this is the same through out so many industries kind of annoying. A Balm of Calm great name. Vra Vra Vroom sounds like it smells good. A frosting wow, but with florals hmmm. I think the blend of the woodiness and creaminess may be nice. I don't usually like sweet fragrances I tend to like more musky spicy scents. Yes they are a bit pricy. But a sample set could be an affordable way to try them out. Have to say love the names. A Kiss of Bliss such fun names. I never smelled Baby Cat. Peppery Rose ooooo. Great review here. 👍😍😊

Thank you for these reviews, Claire. Balm of calm appeals and thankfully it doesn't contain ambroxan so I will try that one.

Great review, Claire! I have two full bottles, Eau The Audacity and A Kiss of Bliss. Agree that ETA is extremely similar to Babycat (which we can't get here at a decent price...everyone who went to Europe and bought a bottle there is now selling them at outrageous prices). Thank goodness I don't get the fishiness with AKoB! I like all of them, actually, so hope they stick around for a while.

@dr.claire.perfume 3 ай бұрын

Kiss of Bliss is the standout amongst the line. I personally don't enjoy it, but it's far and away the most unusual and inventive. I don't understand YSL's seemingly large supply problems with Babycat in the US. It's plentiful here 🤷‍♀️ they are nuts not to get their act together on that one...

Such a shame Penhaligon's have been bought out by a conglomerate, especially as its such a long established british fragrance house. Liquid Love sounds pretty for Spring but I've got a big decant of Delina and planning to get Rose Silence by Miller Harris sometime this year and Penhaligon's is very spendy so I'll hold fire on that. It does sound beautiful though. I went to John Lewis in Cambridge last week and wanted to test Replica Sailing Day as you thought i might like it but couldn't find a tester unfortunately. Wishing you a lovely Easter weekend Claire 💖

@dr.claire.perfume 3 ай бұрын

Penhaligons were sold in 2015, so it was a while ago. I think even Atkinson's has been bought now, there's only Floris left! I think if you've got/get those two, then Liquid Love would be redundant. That's a shame that they didn't have a tester... I hope you get to try it 😊 Happy Easter to you too 🐰

Good one! I bought the sample set too, then ordered my bottle of Eau the Audacity. (🙋‍♀️ I am one of those locked out of Babycat at least until I get overseas again… or Selfridges online restocks & I’m lucky). Incense-vanilla is not my idea of springtime so I’m getting in a few wears before things heat up. I liked A Kiss of Bliss, Liquid Love & A Balm of Calm next best & they’re still under consideration. Maybe at a lower price point I would’ve felt more enthusiastic! 🤷‍♀️ Vra Vra Vroom didn’t work for me at all either. 🙅‍♀️ 1 Yes, 3 Maybes & 1 No. And the tiny bottles have enough to test drive further. Not bad for a sample set!

@dr.claire.perfume 3 ай бұрын

That's a pretty good hit rate! Do any other Penhaligon's fragrances work for you? I do think they have made a good range here. Even as much as I don't love Kiss of Bliss, I see that it is distinctive and interesting. I have no idea what YSL are up to but they are really losing out with their stock issues... Thanks for watching 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume True, YSL is throwing away money at this point! 🤷‍♀️ I run hot & cold on the three “maybe” Penhaligon’s - like it, next time don’t….We’ll see. The Potions & Remedies bottles are adorable as is the idea of the line. I’m new to the brand & I’ve only quickie-sniffed a few other bottles as I rushed through a store. Plan to check out more next time. I just recall wanting to test Halfeti; without spraying on skin or even a strip it’s not fair to judge, but my initial thought was “meh”.

@dr.claire.perfume 3 ай бұрын

I had a discovery set with Halfeti in and for me, it was the best of the 5 but it's a DNA that has been done over and over. Luna was much more distinctive. My friend Jon loves that one. I think my own favourite so far has been Solaris. Good luck in your Penhaligon's investigations. They are a pricey brand so it's worth making sure that you truly love it before investing. You are right! 🥰

It’s rare for me to go through a 50 ml bottle, there’s no reason for me to buy a 100 ml unless it’s something I am utterly obsessed with.

Yes it does look British! Of course it doesn't matter at all, I really like the quirky imagery they use, it's fun 😊 I've not tried any Roja as yet, I own a Floris and I have just bought a Creed discovery set to try them properly, I have tried a few in store and not got along with many, so we'll see! And yes, the big one that I really struggle with is iso E super. I can smell it when it's with other things but not on its own 🤣 it's weird! Ambrox is a strange thing too, I absolutely love some very heavy ambrox fragrances and others I really don't enjoy, I can only imagine there are perhaps different types?

Never tried any from this brand. They seem too expensive 😮

Yes they are. I think they are somewhat overpriced! 🥰

A Balm of Calm is for men.

I think the collection is unisex marketed but I guess it's personal choice. Thanks for watching 🥰

A Kiss of Bliss is so great on paper, that's where it ends. So gross on skin.

It wasn't for me either 🤣 unusual though! Thanks for watching 🥰

Less real ingredients, more synthetic ingredients to save money and the prices go up, more lines being released, yep they've been purchased by money grabbers.

I only paid more attention to Penhaligon's quite late in the day I think, when they'd already been purchased by Puig, but I do remember trying some samples in the late 2000s and enjoying them. The newer ranges haven't had any loves for me other than Solaris, I'd recommend that one at least. I do consider this range to be incredibly overpriced. And I think them not having any choice other than the 100ml bottles isn't on! Thanks for watching 🥰

So disappointed, really loved the vintage British feel to it and it’s not real…

Well it was a British brand until 2015, I'm sure it maintains that heritage still. It does still feel British and it still has the warrant. Thanks for watching 🥰

I haven't tried any Penhaligon so far, I think. You'd think such an historical British house would be easy to find in Canada, but no. And they're pricy so I'm not blindbuying...

@dr.claire.perfume 3 ай бұрын

That's crazy! Canada is a huge market for fragrance! You'd think Penhaligon's would have a distributor there... I'd say Solaris is the only one I've felt like there was a possibility of me wanting to buy so far and I've tried a few now 😊

@dr.claire.perfume Well some big online stores sometimes have a few fragrances but they're full bottles... I don't want to risk blindbuying bottles that expensive! 🫤

@dr.claire.perfume 3 ай бұрын

No! I completely understand that! My blind buy limit is relatively low. I don't like the risk either. 🤷‍♀️
