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 floral-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.

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.

Its substantial aromatic-spicy profile and moderate sillage make it a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its sophisticated yet unique character is ideal for dates and cooler casual outings, with some finding it versatile enough for formal events or just relaxing at home.

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.
