Penhaligons Costantinople

Penhaligon's Constantinople opens with bergamot and cardamom in a warm, spiced opening that immediately evokes the crossroads at which the city that inspired it has always stood — between Europe and Asia, between tradition and modernity, between what is known and what lies beyond the horizon.

Rose and oud form a heart that is simultaneously Eastern and Western, familiar and exotic — the rose handling the occidental tradition, the oud the oriental, together creating a fragrance that honors both without belonging entirely to either. Constantinople navigates this balance with remarkable skill.

Amber and sandalwood create a warm, beautiful base of excellent tenacity. Constantinople is for those who find beauty in places where worlds meet — who are drawn to the complexity and richness of cultures in dialogue, and who want their fragrance to reflect that fascination.
