Penhaligon's Belgravia Chypre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Belgravia Chypre opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Mate and Rose, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Labdanum. Penhaligon's's Belgravia Chypre carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive chypre that demands commitment. Some find it a 'grape soda' mess if under-sprayed, others crown it an aristocratic, elegant masterpiece. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Belgravia Chypre opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of raspberry and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a classic rose note. This floral heart is underpinned by a deep, earthy current of patchouli and oakmoss, softened by the resinous warmth of labdanum and frankincense. A subtle leathery nuance adds sophisticated depth, creating a complex, old-world aura that lingers beautifully.
