Rejoining Penhaligon's British Tales lineup, Racquets pays homage to the hallowed grounds of the iconic address, SW 19 Wimbledon. From the sleek strawberries and cream shade on the bowtie to the all-white label reminiscent of players' strict dress code, this masterpiece was signed off by famed perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. It begins winning a combination of zesty lemons with paradisone/osmanthus in the opening captures the environment's energy before settling down over calming palo santo in the heart, followed by a base of seductive leather and a whisper of the salty ambroxan. Game, set, and match! P.S. Racquets layers very well with Changing Constance :)

Racquets is a unique scent, a perfect balance of citrus and leather. This scent is intense and brings a hint of freshness to the winter days. This is definitely a good option for a Christmas gift.

I never normally choose "lemony" or "leathery" scents, but Racquets has hit the sweet spot. Neither too citrusy nor too heavy with leather, this has become one of my go-to fragrances out of the whole Penhaligon's portfolio. Although probably one more for spring/summer, wearing this perfume would certainly add a ray of sunshine to a dark autumn/winter day.

Penhaligon’s Fragrance Team member, HQ - My go to summer fragrance
Racquets is my go to scent, especially during the summer time. The mixture of citrus and leather notes creates a niche concoction with the freshness of the citrus complimented with the lingering leather notes

What a come back for this scent! A love match of citrus and leather notes work perfectly together. An awakening fresh citrus burst to begin with then develops to a leathery undertone, the dry down is exciting and unexpected!

After reading Andrey Rublev's interview during Wimbledon I start to know about 'Racquets'. This fragrance has a distinctive fresh scent that reminds me of a grass court, I think I will repurchase it.

Racquets summertime in a bottle. What more can I say! Think summer sports tennis cricket, and of course drinks at the clubhouse afterwards. The leather base note helps this citrus fragrance last longer on my skin. Layer with Quercus lotion to create a perfect combination

Racquets is a great scent for a temperate climate. Reminds me of my younger days when I was extra sporty. Its ingredients like lemon & sandalwood provides a spectacular feeling of refreshment & layers.

I'll definitely re-buy!

Racquets - i have to say as a true fan of a citrus fragrance this one packs the full punch! I love a fragrance that lasts all day on my skin and give me compliments from those i am with or close too. I adore the mix of this fragrance being a sharp citrus woody leather scent which i must say is rather unique on the market currently so its a fragrance that will for sure help you too stand out I would highly recommend layering this fragrance with penhaligons Endyminon Hand & Body Lotion as i find this then adds more of a woody/leather scent too the fragrance and calms down the lemon you initially have in the top note If you are already in love with Blenheim Bouquet, Quercus, Castile, Cousin Matthew, Endymion Concentré then Racquets is a must to try out and fall in love with next

Favourite Summer Fragrance
I purchased Racquets at the beginning of the season and have enjoyed it more than any of my others! It's a very fresh and light scent that wears all day. I plan to re-order when I've run out

Fresh summer fragrance
I love this latest fragrance which is summer in a bottle! The scent is a bright and lemony citrus but dies down to a woody fragrance, the amber comes through I guess it represents the leather of the old fashioned tennis ball. The scent lasts for hours which is great when working or out all day as you don't need to reapply until later in the evening.

Beautiful!
An absolute gorgeous fragrance, I haven’t tried the original but I did watch the Instagram Live, I agree with Dom how this is for the modern nose! Opens with citrus fruits and dries down very deep and leathery! I haven’t felt this way about a fragrance since I found Halfeti! Great summer fragrance!

Racquets is the ultimate spring/summer time fragrance for me. It’s a wonderful citrus/leather masterpiece of a scent. The lemon is perfectly placed without smelling too synthetic and the leatherwood just perfects the scent as a whole. A great addition to any fragrance lover's collection.
