Changing Constance is a fragrance from Penhaligon’s Portraits collection, released in 2018. It gives voice to Constance, Lady Blanche’s sister, a modern woman who ignores convention. The house builds it on contrasts: cool cardamom and allspice, a salted butter caramel, and a base of vanilla, cashmeran and tobacco.
Penhaligon’s builds Changing Constance on contrasts: allspice and cardamom at the top, a salted butter caramel accord at the heart, vanilla, cashmeran and tobacco at the base. The house highlights cardamom, salted caramel and tobacco.
The spices
The top sets the coolness of cardamom against the heat of allspice, whose leaves the house evokes: a spicy wind that announces Constance’s arrival in the room.
Caramel and tobacco
The heart rests on a salted butter caramel accord, which the house presents as the fragrance’s signature. Tobacco, vanilla and cashmeran, a woody and musky molecule, make up the base of Changing Constance.
