Bluebell
Eau de Toilette
by Penhaligons



The Scoop
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.

I have to say, at first bluebell can be very deceiving, in a sense the fragrance on initial application is very woody, cinnamon-y, peppery spice of jasmine, lily of the valley and cedarwood. But once the dry down occurred, you can smell the rose and hyacinth take center stage and it turns out lovely. The huge drawback though is the cinnamon. I think someone who might be interested in a floral powdery scent like this, might think twice at first because the peppery woodsy attributes that the cinnamon gives, but if you give it some time and allow the dry down to develop, I think you would be pleasantly surprised by this fragrance. You will definitely experience a ride while wearing this perfume.

This one is really revolting. Decaying hyacinths disguising decaying flesh. A real scrubber.

I was quite surprised by the sample I received. When I put it on, it was really lovely with the scent of bluebells and hyacinth. As I was walking out to my daughter's car, I smelled cinnamon in the air...and didn't realize it was coming from me, just the occasional whiff of cinnamon amid the smell of a fresh garden!!! I would give it a 5 but it doesn't last very well on me...

Ordered a sample of this and was really looking forward to it since I adore the smell of hyacinth. The fragrance delivers as described for 5 minutes. I am disappointed that it does not seem to last long on me . I will try again another day ..hoping it will be more lasting

This is honestly the worst fragrance I have ever smelled: worst in the sense of the most simply incompetent. It is nauseating. Far from being the fresh smell of an English bluebell wood, it has the sickly odour of a pot of hyacinths in a hospital ward where an elderly relative lies dying---just as said hyacinths start to go floppy and rot. Altogether, a mixture of unwashed sheets, disinfectant, and sickly hyacinths.

There is a reason why no one has given this scent a poor review! It smells exactly like spring-- hyacinths and a touch of earth. Incredible.

A beautifully crafted floral for when you want to feel like a LADY--all garden-sweetness and fresh air.

This actually smells exactly like a hyacinth. It is worth every cent of its price. It is one my favorite after-bath relaxing scents, although there is really no reason you couldn't wear it out, or to work. It's light enough to not be bothersome at work, but strong enough that you notice it is there.

My favourite Penhaligon's. Unique and only one of its kind . Very green and very reminiscent of bluebell woods in Dorset.

Worthy of its hype, the most authentic hyacinth accord imaginable. It's simply the new plant pulled straight from the damp soil of a rainy spring woods. Just as hyacinth has one of the most penetrating of fresh flower scents, this fragrance can be strident if over-applied. But a light touch will reward lovers of dry, earthy blue flowers like no other.

The best ever fresh bluegreen flower scent. Pure hyacinth and bluebell. I recommend this one when you have a bit of a hangover or are generally feeling grimy and jaded - suddenly you're fresh-faced and 17 again and feel like skipping down the road. That said, it's not cutesy-pie either - just green enough to make you feel young!
