Penhaligon's is a British perfume house. It was founded in the late 1860s by William Henry Penhaligon, a Cornish barber who moved to London and who became Court Barber and Perfumer to Queen Victoria. History Penhaligon's started life as a barber within the London and Provincial Turkish Baths, 76 Jermyn Street, an important homosocial space in the 'inner sanctum of the masculine city'. As was typical of barbers at the time, Penhaligon created his own products to sell to his clients, many of whom were politicians of the age. The first standalone shop was situated in Jermyn Street next to the street's Turkish bath, where William Penhaligon had been a barber. The second shop opened at 33 St James' Street, and was attached to the Jermyn Street store at the rear. In the late 1920s, the business moved to Bury Street. The original buildings were destroyed in The Blitz in 1941, but the store on Bury Street remained untouched. The Bury Street premises operated until the mid 1950s, when Penhaligon's was purchased by Geo F Trumper, continuing to be manufactured from the basement of Trumper's Curzon Street premises, and slowly fell into obscurity until the brand was revived and a shop opened in Wellington Street, Covent Garden in 1977. Penhaligon's today is wholly owned by Spanish fashion and fragrance company Puig International SA. Stores Besides the flagship store in Covent Garden, locations in London include the Burlington Arcade, Canary Wharf, Regent Street, Mayfair, Kings Road, Islington, the Royal Exchange and a second Covent Garden store has opened. A store is also located within Bicester Village. Other shops have also been established outside of the capital in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Leeds, and Chester, as well as internationally in Paris, New York City, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Singapore, Taiwan and Macau.
