Penhaligon’s London - Burlington Arcade


Especially for men! Ladies are welcome too…

While I was writing my posts, I thought “Hold on a minute, why not write something for my gentlemen readers?” They aren’t numerous but are assiduous and I always get words of encouragement from them!

On my last day in London I headed to Burlington Arcade to get a gift for a very special person. At Penhaligon’s I was received by two smiling ladies and was able to try many fragrances. One seduced me straight away and my choice was made.

If memory serves me right, the sales person told me that this barber arrived in London in 1860 from his little town. He was seeking fortune and his ambition and perseverance, along with his creativity, did the rest. William Penhaligon founded his perfume house in 1870. Mr Penhaligon built a reputation for his unique approach to fine perfumery. He became the perfumer to royal families throughout Europe.

From time to time is important to get something unique for somebody special to you: a husband, a wonderful boyfriend or a gift for Father’s Day. It is a small gesture but it shows the person that you are thinking of them, you care for them and you want to please them. Nothing in this world should ever be taken for granted. If we ladies like to be treated like princesses and receive flowers, men are just the same, trust me! They simply tend not to show their sensitivity, a question of education, I guess!

So, my dearest male readers, I really hope you enjoyed this post dedicated to you!!
