A soliflore, created in 1978. A cult classic. Pure and unadulterated distillation of the scent of bluebell woods. Utterly beguiling and unique. Perhaps the most ‘British’ of our fragrances.
The telltale earthy sweetness of hyacinths rises through the soft citrus head notes and mingles with rose, lily and jasmine to round out the delicate heart notes. As it settles the flowers give way to spicy clove and cinnamon and the unique textural base note of bittersweet galbanum.
Tremendously evocative of wet earth, moss and rain, it softly detonates across your scent receptors and instantly throws you into mythic woodland, surrounded by dripping leaves, skin tingling with spring.
Wear it and see where it takes you. -- $59 Available @ Penhaligons -- they can either ship it to you -- or you may be lucky enough to be close to the locastions they show.
I just read a comment about this Bluebell Eau de Toilette (Dressing Table Collection) and thought I have to check this out. The comment was actually touting the bottle and how sweet looking it is. Upon checking the website I see that it contains some of my absolute favorites for scent and the bottle is as sweet as was mentioned. To be honest I have never heard of it before yet, they mention it has been available since 1978 and is a cult classic. I gotta get it!!
