Which Should You Buy?
A regal swirl of spice, powdery florals, and creamy woods, Constantinople is Penhaligon's at its most sophisticated and wearable. Warm, sweet, and quietly commanding.
A playful yet sophisticated spicy rose that stands out from the crowd. The pink pepper crackles with energy, while rose and patchouli ground the composition with a modern, assertive femininity. This is not your typical floral - it is confident and a little daring.
