Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Babylon is built as a layered story, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of Penhaligon's is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Gourmet, Spicy and Wood. From a family perspective the scent maps to East.

In the top tier you catch piquant warm top notes: Coriander, Nutmeg and Saffron.

At the core of development you meet Nagarmotha keeping a structural woody direction. At drydown level the composition is fixed through Atlas Cedar, Cedar, Sandalwood and Vanilla, shaping a warm vetiver trail.

The accord architecture rests on these accords: Wood and Spicy with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms High points to a sustained drydown presence. In projection Noticeable describes the way the scent radiates.

In summary Babylon reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
