Penhaligon's Juniper Sling Eau de Toilette

Juniper Sling is an intoxicating Eau de Toilette created by master perfumer Oliver Cresp of Firmenich, conceived as a vibrant homage to the quintessential English spirit: London Dry Gin. This fragrance successfully dilutes a complex Boisée (Woody) olfactive pyramid into a sparkling, alcoholic wake. It serves as a sensual and elegant tribute, capturing the lively, mysterious, and somewhat rebellious atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties—a perfect scent for enigmatic individuals, regardless of gender.

The opening is designed to mimic a frozen gin shot, delivering immediate freshness through crisp juniper berries combined with a balancing pinch of angelic and warming cinnamon. This initial icy clarity quickly transitions into a sophisticated, intoxicating heart. Here, the heat of brandy is introduced, made spicy and utterly unscrupulous by the inclusion of black pepper and cardamom. This warmth is grounded by the precious elegance of fine leather, Orris Root (Rizoma of Iris), and earthy Vetiver, establishing a deep, sensual core.

The base of Juniper Sling provides an intensely gourmand and enduring finish. Rich notes of cane sugar blend smoothly with deep amber and Bathena, a sweet resinous element that adds complexity and depth. These elements add significant sensuality and warmth, ensuring the fragrance has excellent projection and longevity suitable for evening wear or making a distinctive statement during the day. It is a highly sophisticated, multi-layered scent designed for those who appreciate classic elegance with a spirited, modern twist.
