Before his ascension to the throne, King Charles III commissioned Penhaligon’s to encapsulate the enchanting aroma of his cherished silver lime tree in the exquisite Highgrove Bouquet. This beloved tree, located in the picturesque gardens of Highgrove, is not only a feast for the eyes but also a source of delightful scents that waft through the air, enjoyed from his bedroom window. As we celebrate his birthday this weekend, it’s quite likely that his Highness might indulge in this uplifting fragrance, wouldn’t you agree? Join us as we explore the captivating journey of this fragrance, from its initial concept to its remarkable completion.
Utilizing innovative Headspace Technology, the linden blossom in Penhaligon’s Highgrove Bouquet dances gracefully with notes of mimosa, cedar, and vibrant citrus. This fragrance is a radiant treasure that can be worn at any time, but it truly shines during the summer months when its essence evokes the very spirit of the season. Remarkably, this creation transcends mere inspiration; Highgrove Bouquet was developed in collaboration with HRH The Prince of Wales, serving as a heartfelt homage to the wonderfully scented summers he has cherished at Highgrove Gardens.
According to Penhaligon’s, during a specific time frame between July and August, in a hidden corner of the Cotswolds, the Tilia Petiolaris, or the weeping silver lime, releases a captivating fragrance that delights the local bee population. Highgrove Gardens is adorned with these majestic deciduous trees, characterized by their silver-lined, heart-shaped leaves and yellow-flowered sprays that gracefully perfume the atmosphere. This enchanting scent is experienced not just outdoors but also permeates the interiors of the House! When the warm days arrive and the windows are flung open, the rooms become infused with an aroma that can only be described as the essence of earthly sunshine. Through close collaboration with The Prince’s Foundation, Penhaligon’s proudly announces the launch of their new fragrance, the Eau de Parfum Highgrove Bouquet, a scent that radiates warmth and joy.
The moment the blossoms of the weeping silver lime release their captivating fragrance, Highgrove Gardens transforms into a vibrant paradise filled with uplifting floral notes. Penhaligon’s is honored to unveil this unique partnership with The Prince’s Foundation, resulting in a fragrance that embodies both natural beauty and elegance. Importantly, a portion of the fragrance’s proceeds will support The Prince’s Foundation, specifically enhancing their training and education initiatives in various fields such as heritage crafts, traditional arts, horticulture, fashion and textiles, as well as sustainable food and farming, benefiting thousands of students annually. His Royal Highness has been a longstanding champion of sustainability for more than 50 years.
