The fruity-floral fragrance for women "Artemisia" by Penhaligon's is named after Artemisia Gentileschi, who was one of the most important artists of the 17th century and is regarded as the most important female painter of the Baroque.
Fruity nectarine together with green notes enlivens the top note before meeting its counterpart, the apple, in the heart. Here however, we encounter floral notes of lily of the valley and violets that join with jasmine and vanilla accents. This admirable composition rests on a base of differentiated and complex oak moss, sandalwood, musk and ambergris and completes the overall picture completely.
On the whole, "Artemisia" proves to be a stunning fragrance that aptly pays tribute to such a great Italian name as Artemisia Gentileschi, who was only rediscovered in the 20th century as a painter who deserved far more fame for her attention to detail and the Baroque pathos of her pictures. This fragrance certainly pays her great honor.

Summer is everywhere, exuding the scent of earthly sunshine. We stroll through the blooming gardens of Highgrove, the private residence of King Charles III. The grass bows before majestic silver lime trees, mimosas and cedars. Bees dance a dizzying dance of delight, sipping from the intoxicating flowers enveloped by a shady canopy of leaves.
