Hammam Bouquet
ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE
Created in 1872, Hammam Bouquet is Penhaligon’s historic floral-oriental fragrance built around lavender, rose and sandalwood, with orris and amber contributing to its powdery warmth.
OUR TAKE
Musky, animalic and powdery, with a slightly civet-like character alongside aldehydes and florals. The iris is particularly beautiful. It reminds me somewhat of Chanel No. 22, but feels lighter and more herbal. Ultimately, though, it leans much too feminine for me.
