Prince Charles has launched his own Penhaligon perfume which pays homage to the garden of his private residence, Highgrove Gardens in Wiltshire.
Costing £152 a bottle, the Highgrove Bouquet Eau de Parfum boasts ‘notes of geranium, lavender and weeping lime’.
Produced by The Prince’s Foundation and perfume house Penhaligon’s, Prince Charles, 73, was involved in the production and selected the scent to go on sale.
The fragrance was a collaboration between the Royal and British perfume house Penhaligon’s

The Highgrove website notes: ‘Highgrove Gardens and The Prince’s Foundation are pleased to announce a new collaboration with British perfume house Penhaligon’s to bring you the Highgrove Bouquet Eau De Parfum.
‘Inspired by and created with HRH The Prince of Wales, this new scent pays homage to the magnificent fragrance of Highgrove Gardens in summer.’
It goes on to say the scent – a ‘crisp, confident burst of warm energy’ – opens the dance with ‘vibrant lavender and geranium’.
It adds, ‘It is a time when the odour of blossoming weeping silver lime fills the air, and Highgrove Gardens is full of its branches with their blooming, uplifting, floral notes.’
The new scent described as ‘elegant as it is warm’ comes in 100 per cent recycled packaging

The scent is described as ‘natural as it is elegant as it is warm’, with its packaging is made from 100 per cent recycled and recyclable paper.
It is perhaps no wonder Prince Charles chose Penhaligon’s to help with the scent.
The perfume house is one of Britain’s finest – 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.
The company is also known for its exciting fragrance names, such as The Revenge of Lady Blanche and The Tragedy of Lord George.
It is not the first time Prince Charles and Camilla have been inspiration from their private gardens.
The Duchess of Cornwall contributes hand-picked organic apples from her Raymill Estate in Wiltshire to help create Highgrove’s new Organic Cider.
The ‘beautifully balanced’ organic medium-taste cider, which costs £2.95 a bottle, contains raw cider, spring water and organic raw cane sugar.
