Through glitter and smoke, the night begins—a mood of mischief in the air, as boots tap in rhythm and the world seems to sway. Penhaligon’s unveils The Dandy, a fragrance that embodies the soul of endless nights, where spirits are high, jazz melodies fill the room, and whisky flows like liquid gold. This eau de parfum, crafted by the masterful Fabrice Pellegrin, is a celebration of whisky, wood, and the mischievous charm of a life lived after dark.
At the heart of this story is a speakeasy, a place where glamour meets rebellion. The Dandy invites you to brush past the artists and visionaries, to leave lipstick on mirrors, and to sip whisky from crystal-cut tumblers beneath dazzling chandeliers. Midnight strikes, and the brass band plays on—trumpets and saxophones shaking through the glass. It’s the Land of Jazz, a place where whisky and bourbon beats swing in harmony.
The fragrance opens with a sparkling twist: bergamot essence, adding effervescent charm, while raspberry accord and cedrat essence bring a playful sweetness. As the scent deepens, the richness of a well-aged whisky accord blends with warm oak chips and cedarwood essence, creating an irresistible melody of woody and smoky notes. The base, built on patchouli, clearwood, and ambrox, lingers with depth and mystery, much like the night itself.
The Dandy is an ode to endless revelry, a perfume that wraps you in the glamour and grit of a never-ending party. It’s an invitation to dance, to indulge, and to live fully in the moment. Will you take another glass?
