Night Scented Stock

Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1976. The fragrance opens with Clove and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Violet, Jasmine, Lily, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Musk.

Our verdict on Night Scented Stock: Statement

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.

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.

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.
