Penhaligon’s Portraits Intense ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 8 August 2026 2 Comments

Penhaligon’s has launched Intense versions of four fragrances in the brand's Portraits collection: The Blazing Mister Sam Intense, Changing Constance Intense, The Coveted Duchess Rose Intense and The Tragedy of Lord George Intense. 

The Blazing Mister Sam Intense ~ "Mister Sam was never one for caution. Take a risk on a darker scent: patchouli ignites in a blaze of plum liquor and tobacco. Ready to roll the dice?" Additional notes include leather. An intense iteration of The Blazing Mister Sam, reimagined with deeper, darker facets."

Changing Constance Intense ~ "Intensely intellectual. Intensely influential. Constance has redefined rebellion, unapologetically so. Salted caramel, with a sharper edge. Pimento flares next to spicy saffron. Rich in knowledge, richer in scent. An intense iteration of Changing Constance, reimagined with deeper, darker facets." 

The Coveted Duchess Rose Intense ~ "She was always admired. Now, she is desired. A darker rose unfurls, steeped in rich vanilla and amber’s golden glow. The Duchess writes in secrets and seals with scent. This is innocence, lost. An intense iteration of The Coveted Duchess Rose, reimagined with deeper, darker facets."  

The Tragedy of Lord George Intense ~ "Tradition stands tall. Yet something stirs beneath. Rum enriched. Chocolate darkened with tonka. Vetiver smoulders into the late hours. Behind closed doors, Lord George reveals his secrets. An intense iteration of The Tragedy of Lord George, reimagined with deeper, darker facets."

Penhaligon’s The Blazing Mister Sam Intense, Changing Constance Intense, The Coveted Duchess Rose Intense and The Tragedy of Lord George Intense are £300 each for 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

      They do look spiffy in the darker colors.
