Penhaligon's Babylon Eau De Parfum 100ml

Babylon Penhaligon's is a fragrance for both men and women, belonging to the oriental spicy group. What do Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, Edith Evans, and Sting have in common? First, they are all outstanding Englishmen. Second, they are true ladies and gentlemen. Third, their favorite fragrances were invented by the same man, William Henry Penhaligon. He invented and, in doing so, united all those who understand expensive and exclusive fragrances into a special community. Modern fragrances are virtually indistinguishable from those created under Mr. Penhaligon himself. The same imposing bottles with multicolored bows on the neck, uniform in shape but varied in content (incidentally, those same bows once served not only for decoration but also to seal the bottles). The same extraordinary fragrances, based on natural rather than synthetic ingredients, many of which are crafted using formulas handwritten by William Penhaligon himself. Babylon is an olfactory journey, transporting you to distant lands and distant times. Babylon evokes autumnal joys and Middle Eastern images, where you can imagine yourself transported to the glorious walls at the crossroads of the Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq and contemplating the country's vast history. Babylon's beautiful composition opens with a delightful and delicate blend of smoked cypriol, cedar, and intoxicating, rich vanilla. The vanilla overdose is also combined with an intriguing spice blend of nutmeg, saffron, and coriander. The spices contribute greatly to the oriental atmosphere of this fragrance, and thanks to the vanilla, they do not become harsh, but impart a soft, diffused, and sweet aroma to the woody notes. The trail is a beautiful woody backdrop with notes of papyrus and cypriol oil. Babylon's scent is delightful and long-lasting, radiating an aura of confidence from the skin.
