Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1976. Night Scented Stock opens with Cinnamon and Clove, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Ylang-Ylang, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Penhaligon's's Night Scented Stock carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a wildcard. Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock is a divisive beast, some lamenting its deviation from the flower it's named after, others revelling in its bold, old-school charm. Expect big spices and powdery florals, just don't expect it to smell like actual stock.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, spicy opening and powdery, warm character make this less suitable for the office or casual wear. It leans towards more formal or romantic occasions, especially cooler evenings, where its intensity can be appreciated 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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

An opulent, vintage-leaning floriental. It opens with an unapologetic, potent blast of clove and cinnamon, soon mellowing into a powdery, almost cosmetic floral heart where violet, heliotrope, and ylang-ylang take centre stage. The dry down introduces a creamy, woody warmth of sandalwood, benzoin, and vanilla, underpinned by earthy patchouli.
