Penhaligon's Lavandula is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002. Lavandula opens with Pepper, Cinnamon, and Basil, settles into a heart of Lavender, Lily of the Valley, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Penhaligon's's Lavandula carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, realistic lavender with a creamy warmth that's impossible not to love. It's a tragedy this sophisticated gem got discontinued, with fans begging for its return.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with an aromatic kick of basil and a whisper of peppery spice before settling into its true heart: an authentic, soft lavender, beautifully interwoven with delicate lily of the valley and clary sage. The base gently unfolds into a comforting blend of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and a clean musk, providing a refined, sweet, and slightly powdery finish.
