The Portraits Collection

In my last post about the Portraits collection from Penhaligon's of London I covered the unveiling of the collection and introduced you to the various members of this mysterious Victorian family, their characters and their secrets.

Time has passed since then and I now have the pleasure of introducing two new members of the family, although Lady Blanche may disagree that either of these characters bring her any pleasure whatsoever, and I am sure she is plotting their demise as I type!

Clandestine Clara is unveiled at Lord George's mistress and Roaring Radcliff as their illegitimate son!

As Autumn comes along with cooler and wetter weather it's time to assess our wardrobes and add a few new favourites. So with that in mind I've had a look around at our favourite brands and picked out my top five picks for September.

The launch event

If you're familiar with Penhaligon's London you'll know that they offer some of the most incredible fragrances for men, and women and this new collection is no exception. The associated artwork and the design of the bottles alone is second to none, but more on that later.

To celebrate the launch of their Portraits Collection the Penhaligon's team organised an evening of history and cocktails which began with a guided tour around the area between their shop in the illustrious Burlington Arcade and their flagship store in Regent Street.

Penhaligon's Fragrances

Craig of That Dapper Chap introduces us to the latest fragrances from Penhaligon's, both inspired by the the mysteries of Egypt.

Penhaligons

Founded by Mr William Penhaligon in 1870, Penhaligons London have a long established heritage, so much so that they hold not, one but two Royal Warrants. So, if their fragrances are good enough to for the British Royal Family, they're certainly good enough for That Dapper Chap!

The two fragrances that I'm going to share with you today are the Alizarin Eau De Parfum and the
Oud De Nil Eau de Parfum. Two very different fragrances, they are both directly inspired by the history and atmosphere of one of the most mysterious lands in all the world: Egypt.

One of the most iconic symbols of Egypt and a must see for any true traveller
