Penhaligon’s is delighted to unveilThe Manoeuvres of the Baroness,the fourteenth fragrance to join the iconic Portraits Collection. Promising to be the most exciting Portraits launch to date, the release of the new eau de parfum coincides with the tenth anniversary of the collection.
Known for their distinctive bottle design – a gold-capped animal head and colourful juice – and richly layered storytelling, The Portraits Collection is one of the fragrance’s houses most successful pillars.
The Manoeuvres of the Baroness introduces a new character to the Portraits narrative, though her presence has long been felt. A powerful figure behind the scenes, she is the Original Influencer, pulling strings from behind the curtain, always out of sight. Now, the Baroness steps into the spotlight, revealing long-held secrets and new truths upon the ever-infamous Portraits stage.
Created by perfumer Daphné Bugey, The Manoeuvres of the Baroness opens with the soft indulgence
of Chantilly before orange blossom lends luminosity and warmth.
A smooth sandalwood base anchors the composition, creating a fragrance that is elegant, confident and quietly commanding.
NOTES
Chantilly – Orange Blossom – Sandalwood
The Manoeuvres of the Baroness is a significant addition to the portfolio because:
– Diversifying the olfactive profile of the collection. A floral ambery fragrance, the scent introduces Chantilly, a previously unexplored olfactive territory for Penhaligon’s, bringing a fresh and unexpected dimension to the Portraits Collection.
– A new chapter for the Portraits Collection. In true Penhaligon’s style, the Baroness adds another layer of intrigue
to an already narrative-rich collection, further cementing the fragrance house as a master of storytelling through scent.
– The most luxurious expression of the pillar to date. Crowned with a golden gazelle head – a symbol of feminine grace, beauty and strength – and filled with gold-coloured juice, the design reflects the Baroness’s elevated status within the collection, as well as marking the Portraits’ tenth anniversary.
With this latest launch, Penhaligon’s continues to expand the Portraits universe – both in an olfactive sense and narratively – while honouring the collection’s decade-long legacy.
