Thread: Opinion on Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet

Thanks Ryan, was just asking because they are both 150mL, I guess the extra cost is for the glass jar then. Good to know

Okay.... well in that case you ARE paying extra for the glass jar....

Interesting…I wonder if the glass jar is some edition for a special occasion, I've only ever seen it sold in the tube. Just checked the Penhaligon's website and only tubes.

I saw it on the SRD site, but it is out of stock, so maybe it was a limited thing, which would suck because I like having the jars lol

After using nearly a whole tube, I love the Blemheim in all areas but one: Glide. I love the lather and scent but no matter what combination of cream, water and technique I use i get less glide. I have used tap water, distilled water, glycerin, more water, less water and every straight I own. I am convinced the glide is inferior to practically every other cream I regularly use. I may be in the minority here but thats my results.

Thanks for pointing that out, I sure hope you're just the minority because i absolutely love the way it smells (at last the asb) so i still plan on getting some

I've never tried the BB but I have tried Endymion and IMO the performance is right up there with the best of 'em.
