Penhaligon’s The Trade Routes Collection has indeed given us a perfumed window into an era long past. In 1914 John Masefield, the Poet Laureate, visited the Cutler street warehouses to marvel at the abundant cargo, the prize of the British Empire. He wrote a wonderful piece which ends: "You showed, for a most delightful hour, the wealth of the world and London’s power".

Thanks to Penhaligon’s we have a sample set of Lothair, Levantium and Empressa for a reader in the USA, Canada and the EU. The winner of the random draw is Pouli.
