The Favourite is a Penhaligon’s fragrance launched in 2020 and composed by Aliénor Massenet. The house drew its inspiration from Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, brought to the screen by the film The Favourite. This musky floral pairs mandarin and bergamot with a heart of mimosa, iris and jasmine, over a base of sandalwood and musk.
The cylindrical Penhaligon’s bottle, with a very pale pink juice, tied at the neck with a wide sugared-almond pink ribbon and closed with a glass stopper.
The Favourite comes in a cylindrical bottle of clear glass, with straight sides and a thick base, that shows a very pale pink juice. A gold collar supports a transparent glass stopper with rounded forms.
At the neck, a large sugared-almond pink ribbon bow dresses the bottle. The oval label, red and edged in gold, bears the words Penhaligon’s, The Favourite and Eau de parfum; the green and gold box recalls the house’s founding in London in 1870.
