Rusty burnt orange, warming woody nutmeg browns, creamy vanilla. Are these colours you see in your mind? Or are they actually ingredients for food you can almost taste as you read? Maybe they could even be perfume notes. Let’s face it: the coming together of our senses is ultimately what a great perfume is all about. The smell that emanates from the bottle brings vivid images emotions and thoughts into our hearts and minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once such scent experience that deals very directly with these notions is a collection from internationally renowned fragrance brand Penhaligon’s and their trade route collection. This selection of fragrances that deal specifically with the British 19th-century world of travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Trade Routes collection celebrates exotic ingredients that arrived in the London docks at the end of the 19th century. Known as the Warehouse of the World, the docks were dense with the opulent and the fantastical in the air. Things as diverse and illuminating as Tea, spices, silk, pearls, rum crossed the shores onto the dock of London forever to take their place in the hearts of the Britsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This collection of scents sing directly to the paths crossed by virulent sailors searching the world for treasure to bring back and bargain with. Each perfume in the collection deals with a single route, to far-flung destinations such as Marocco (Aw Sawira) Indian (Agarbathi) and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Cent_2019_08_19_Tuberose1108-wkg-1024x682.jpg?resize=580%2C386\")
