Castile

Penhaligon's understands the emotive power of scent. It can unlock memories and open doors; it can stop us in our tracks, lost somewhere for a moment in time. The fragrant adventure began in the Victorian era of decadence and carries us into the future as Penhaligon's strive to create original scents for the discerning eccentrics of today. True modern dandies and bold women who are proud to go their own way. Created in 1998, Castile is a classic citrus shot through with the intoxicating thrill of neroli. Fresh and bursting with the dusky sensuality of warm Mediterranean nights, the neroli marries perfectly with the aromatic tang of bergamot and delicate rose. The citrus notes flood the senses, uplifting and soothing. Woods and musk round off Castile, smoothing everything into a warm lick of marmalade and sunshine, perfect for summer, piquant enough to warm you through in the winter months. Top notes are petitgrain and orange blossom; middle notes are bergamot, rose and orange blossom; base notes are woodsy notes and musk.
