Penhaligon's 2018 EDP
Changing Constance
Penhaligon's Changing Constance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Changing Constance opens with Cardamom and Allspice, settles into a heart of Salt and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tobacco, and Cashmeran. Penhaligon's's Changing Constance carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.
A quietly opulent salted caramel and cardamom gourmand, plush and comforting without veering into sticky sweetness. Changing Constance is plush, intimate, and grown-up-delicious for those who crave a refined, skin-close treat but demand subtlety over bombast.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
The deep caramel, warm spices, vanilla and powdery facets make this best for chilly autumn and winter, but the airy, non-cloying sweetness and soft sillage let it work well for transitional spring days too. It is too rich for most summer wear.
Best Occasions
Its intimate projection and cozy sweetness make it ideal for dates and close encounters, and for casual wear when you want a plush, comforting aura. It is not formal or sporty, and its low sillage makes it less suited to office settings where longevity is necessary.
