Penhaligon's Marylebone Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Marylebone Wood opens with Grapefruit, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Penhaligon's's Marylebone Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is definitely a divisive beast. Some adore its powerful, complex woodiness, while others find it a bit too much, synthetic, or lacking originality. Approach with caution and definitely sample first, especially if you're not a fan of strong, woody oud-like scents.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its heavy woody and amber profile, make it less suitable for casual or office wear. It's best reserved for formal events or date nights where its bold character can shine without overwhelming.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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 a fleeting flash of grapefruit before diving headfirst into a rich, dense forest of woody accords. Expect a journey through dry sandalwood, a pronounced vetiver, and robust cedar, all underpinned by an earthy patchouli. A warm amber adds a touch of sweetness, evoking the sticky sap of the tree rather than light citrus, culminating in a sophisticated, somewhat smoky trail.
