Notes
Heart notes
The Favourite is a 2020 Eau de Parfum for women from Penhaligon's, inspired by Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. It is a floral-musk that opens with mandarin, violet leaf, bergamot and freesia, blooms into mimosa, iris and jasmine, and settles on Indian sandalwood, musk and ambroxan. It ships in the house's signature bottle with the oversized pink velvet bow.
Scent story
A love letter written on scented paper: sweet, powdery, a little old-fashioned in the loveliest way. The Favourite opens with a watery-sweet floral rush — mimosa and freesia like a spring bouquet — then softens into iris and a clean, musky sandalwood dry-down. It's delicate and girlish rather than grand, best worn in Indian spring and mild winter days. Very beginner-friendly: if you like soft floral-musks, this is an easy, pretty wear.
