In an evening of sensory discoveries, guests of BlackBookAsia enjoyed an interactive and entertaining time discovering their favourite scent from the sheer variety of Penhaligon’s fragrance universe. This perfumer renown around the world for their perfumes as well as decadent candles, bath and skincare products made with only the most premium ingredients around.
Bringing creative and quality perfumes to audiences since 1870, a total of 147 years through history with each Penhaligon’s scent telling a fascinating tale. Just like its new Portraits Collection, inspired and named after a series of fairy tale noble gentlemen and ladies, with the use of the finest and highest quality ingredients fit for even the most discerning of aroma-philes.
Savour BlackBookAsia’s favourite from chapter 1 of the Portraits Collection has to be Much Ado About The Duke. The fictional story centers around a captivating and dazzling lad with an uncanny resemblance to BlackBookAsia group’s founder and CEO Gabriel, winning the hearts of many women, Duke Nelson’s presence is everywhere, a terrific character. He is comical and charming, he is absolutely opaque that no one can ever understand. Along with this opaqueness is a secret side that is both mysterious yet desirable.
As his character suggests, this particular scent is rosy floral, smooth and soft but with a mix of peppery musky and leathery woody tones to bring out the sensuality, flamboyance and masculinity of a man. Lovely head notes of peppery rose with heart of gin and base finish with leathery wood. An amazing combination and rare concoction for the elite gentlemen.
The by invite only event also showcases Penhaligon’s limited edition fragrance collection – Hidden London. Penhaligon’s first-ever limited edition fragrances, inspired by three distinct areas of London: Marylebone, Kensington and Belgravia, while also capturing their sophistication, elegance and history. A favourite among the ladies for both day and night use.
VIPs enjoyed the exclusive shopping experience while savouring choice red wines from old world France and British inspired canapes such as beef sliders and scones, especially catered for the night. Two lucky ladies also walked away with a prize draw of any perfume they fancy. A brilliant night celebrating two distinguish brands.
