Penhaligon's LP No. 9 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Christian Provenzano. LP No. 9 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Penhaligon's's LP No. 9 carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

LP No. 9 is a bewitching, divisive 'love potion' that channels mystical woods and dark allure. You'll either adore its unique herbal-spicy greenness or dismiss it as a mere Goth imitation of Dior Dune - there's very little middle ground here. A cult classic, sadly discontinued.

About

A dark, aromatic elixir that opens with a commanding herbal blend of lavender, geranium, and tart tarragon, brightened by bergamot and lemon. As it settles, a spicy floral heart of carnation and jasmine emerges, wrapped in warm cinnamon. The base deepens into a sensual embrace of earthy patchouli, creamy vanilla, and woody cedar, creating a mysterious, almost gothic aura.
