listed notes: wild berries, aquatic accord, green leaves, rose, pink pepper CO2, hawthorn, cedarwood, Clearwood TM, moss, musks It does just that, it delivers exactly that fresh calone bittersweet salt note, the type of smell left in your nose after being tumbled in the water whilst surfing.

During one of my recent visits to London, I enjoyed an incredible brunch in a smart, refined place, where the magnificent atmosphere of the rooms, furnished with opulent floral compositions, ensnared my senses almost at once. While admiring the floral scenery, my brunch included delightful toasts topped with honey and marmalade and these gourmand facets inspired me to bring to Equinox Bloom a trendy, modern inflexion to the generous floral bouquet. To me, this luxurious and abundant refinement reflects Penhaligon´s generosity in fragrances in a perfect way." – Olivier Cresp, Perfumer.The guaiac wood and an atypical patchouli (that's pretty close to the vetiver type used here) are what I observe FAR more strongly than the voting indicates, and along with the clary sage challenge the combo of dewey "greens" and seaweed for overall dominance in my brain. The guaiac & clary sage are VERY strong after the open and mostly what I notice through the mid, then the patchouli/vetiver combo comes in getting heavier when the rest begin to fade. Once noticed, those grassy woods stay the dominant smell through the end, or at least MY end as I've never kept Blasted Heath on long enough to ever GET to its end! For the "Stronger-for-Longer" fragrance generation this should be on their test list when looking for a high-quality marine scent. There's a bitter citrus note that is not listed too, which makes the scent mandarin-like fresh, but that is really not prominent.

I fell in love with it as the scent reminds me of salty sea spray on a cold, windy day, on a cliff with wild flowers. It was fresh, aquatic, floral and slightly earthy. Created by Master Perfumer Olivier Cresp, Equinox Bloom plays with an olfactory palette inspired by the delights of high tea, accompanied by the heady bouquet of the first sweet Spring flowers. Delicious notes of Chantilly, Frangipani and Brown Sugar are blended with violet leaves, orange blossom absolute and jasmine sambac, rounded with the deep, Amber richness of Benzoin Siam and Ambrox. A subtle, sweet treat from Penhaligon’s, Equinox Bloom plays on series of favorite traditions and pleasing transitions – day to night, Winter to Spring - offering up a delicious and distinctive blend of gourmand and floral infusions to truly delight the senses. Blasted Bloom is quite sharp with tart berries, salty sea breeze, zesty pink pepper and musky cedar. I disagree that this is a strictly feminine scent, I actually find it quite unisex. It can easily be worn by men as it smells somewhat similar to other popular masculine fragrances such as Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb: While not an exact dupe, Flowerbomb is a popular fragrance known for its floral and sweet notes, including rose and jasmine. It has a warm and inviting character that some users find reminiscent of Penhaligon’s The Favourite.This is an aquatic lovers dream. But maybe a lucid weird dream. It's definitely a unique take on marine aquatics. Chances are you probably know all there is to know about Fragrancedirect, but if you don’t then here’s a little more detail about them. Much of Penhaligon's line is very 'prim and proper'. Equinox Bloom steers away from the usual conservative soliflores this house is known for and experiments with a heavy dose of brown sugar. This fragrance smells like white vanilla frosting on my skin. I find its sweetness oddly appealing and somewhat refreshing. Chloé Eau de Parfum: Chloé’s signature fragrance features notes of peony, rose, and magnolia. It has a light and airy floral profile that might evoke a similar feeling to Penhaligon’s The Favourite.

Of the perfumes’ creation, Morillas says, “Both fragrances are for me like paintings of nature. They depict wilderness and the preserved landscape of English seashores. I am a very visual person; I imagined the fragrances like spontaneous As opening marine overdose softens, then the fragrance becomes much better, balanced. But then again, this fragrance smells amazing right off the first spray "in air", and outside. You only get the challenging notes when smelling up close.

Smelling these perfumes makes me REALLY afraid to try the current version of my favorite Penhaligon's fragrance: Hammam Bouquet. Finally, the Queen of Pop, Madonna, is an avid user of the brand. Madonnas outstanding music career has lasted for several decades, and she’s been known to be very selective with her fashion choices over these years. The brand has truly earned a spot among the few elite fashion houses that can claim to cater to the most demanding people on the planet.
