Penhaligon's No. 33 Eau de Cologne 100ml is a sophisticated, multi-layered British masculine fragrance from one of the oldest English perfume houses. Launched in 2015 as a tribute to the house's heritage and modern craftsmanship, this aromatic-fougère composition pairs a sparkling herbal-citrus opening with a beautifully complex spicy-floral heart and a warm, refined woody-amber drydown — a true grown-up gentleman's fragrance.
About Penhaligon's

The character of the scent
No. 33 opens with a sophisticated, multi-faceted herbal-citrus accord — clary sage, bergamot and cypress lifted by orange and grapefruit, with coriander and artemisia adding depth. The heart unfolds into one of the most complex floral-spicy bouquets in modern men's perfumery — lavender, cardamom, geranium, saffron, ginger, violet, lily-of-the-valley, rose and jasmine all working together. The drydown is the signature classic English gentleman's base — moss, cedarwood, tobacco, tonka bean, vetiver, vanilla and amber wrapped together for a refined, distinguished finish.
Key benefits
- Sophisticated, multi-layered British masculine signature.
- Generous 100ml flacon.
- Heritage from one of the oldest English perfume houses — holder of two Royal Warrants.

- Long-lasting on the skin thanks to its substantial woody-amber base.
Who it's for
Penhaligon's No. 33 is for men who appreciate sophisticated, refined, classic British perfumery — fans of Dunhill, Acqua di Parma, or Creed will recognise the family. The complex aromatic-fougère character makes it especially well-suited to grown-up wear — office, special occasions, evenings out and as a refined daily signature for those who reject obvious designer launches.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — moisturiser holds the woody-amber base for longer.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the herbal-citrus opening.
- Works year-round — with particular charm in autumn, winter and evening wear.
