Penhaligon’s The Manoeuvres Of The Baroness ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 15 July 2026 4 Comments

Penhaligon’s has launched The Manoeuvres Of The Baroness, a new addition to the brand's Portraits collection. 

A collector of secrets and whispered conspiracies, the Baroness has always reigned from the shadows. Orange blossom's zest takes centre stage alongside light, airy Chantilly cream, accented by a velvety note of sandalwood. She does not flee from danger; she outwits it.

Penhaligon’s The Manoeuvres Of The Baroness is available now at Selfridges, £245 for 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

    When I first read the name, it looked like The Manure of Of The Baroness and I wondered if it had oud. 💩😆 I often interpret things as funnier/more interesting than they really are which is generally a good way to go through life. 😁

    I fear the velvety note of sandalwood may mean screechy amber woods but I do like the line…She does not flee from danger; she outwits it. I like a perfume heroine not in need of rescue. 💪🏻

      Thank you so much for the belly laugh, She-ra! I almost died after that oud comment.

      TBH, I do think that “The Manoeuvres Of The Baroness” sounds kinda cool as a perfume name.
