Penhaligon's has launched The Favourite, a new floral musk fragrance for women. The Favourite was inspired by Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, recently the subject of the movie The Favourite.
The stage is set, the setting is Blenheim. The story concerns the mother of this majestic Palace. Her scent fills the Royal Quarters as golden mimosa sways society's opinion. She greets with a darling smile, charming and coy, innocent as a wildflower. Yet, layers peel away like mandarin and bergamot. Smoke and mirrors. Iris and musk. Manoeuvres and mystery create the most wonderful of palaces. But what goes on in the shadows? Behind closed doors? Leave it to her, it’s better that way. Jasmine toys with one’s heart-strings as she begins to emerge upon a sandalwood stage.

Waiting won't do for this lady. She knows exactly what goes on behind Palace doors, and her golden mimosa sways society's opinion. Her majestic scent of iris and musk greets with a darling smile as she begins to emerge on a sandalwood stage.
Penhaligon's The Favourite is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

I had a look at this when I got the latest update from Penhaligon’s the other day – GBP 192.00 – outrageous price!
Wow, I didn’t even look at the price!
This new one is EdP, but even so I think it’s a ridiculous price – my beloved (but not by my best friend, as discussed here previously!) Bluebell is now GBP 110.00 for EdT, same size bottle was GBP 75.00 for years!
Sounds nice. I can picture Rachel Weisz wearing this during filming to get the full Sarah Churchill effect. Great film, btw.
It was a great film but I found it hard to watch…glad I did not see it in theaters.
Loved the movie, but hard to imagine the character wearing something as vague and gauzy as the description. Would Ambergris (she would have worn the most costly choice) have been available in that period
