I SMELL A GREAT ESCAPE
It's time for a little adventure. Don't ask us to read a map, but Penhaligon's makes for a charming travel companion otherwise.
The days of being confined to one’s home are lingering in the rear-view mirror as the possibility of travel entices sun-seekers once more. With explorers planning the summer ahead to fuel their aching wanderlust, Penhaligon’s invites you to discover some of the destinations that have inspired us over the centuries - bottling up the sunshine after our travels and bringing it home for all to savour.
SEVILLE, SPAIN
Enriched with history and imposing Mudéjar architecture, the Spanish city of Seville sizzles with summer charm. Get lost in winding streets and beautiful barrios, or hone the art of Flamenco in its place of origin. With so much to see, one can be easily persuaded to spend their days meandering about the city, only stopping to indulge in some of the world’s finest tapas and inhale the summer breeze.
DOURA VALLEY, PORTUGAL
Only the most curious wanderer is familiar with the enchanted lands of the Douro Valley, such is the allure of the rolling hillsides. If you’re looking for an immersive introduction into Portuguese culture and wine production, this World Heritage site is the perfect location to embrace tradition and depart from the hubbub of bustling city life. Unwind amongst the vineyards or enjoy a romantic cruise down the Doura River. No holiday is quite as peaceful as one that resides in a country estate.
RAJASTHAN, INDIA
Kaleidoscopic hues adorn golden arches and palaces in Jaipur, the capital to Rajasthan. Regarded as ‘the pink city’, the story goes that the Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur painted the city pink as a symbol of hospitality during the Prince of Wales’ 1876 tour. Aside from being a fabulous host, the landscape is renowned worldwide for being seeped in decadence and grandeur as one corner of the ‘golden triangle’.
