Juniper Sling
About This Fragrance
Juniper Sling by Penhaligon's is a 2011 eau de toilette built around the idea of a gin cocktail and the playful nightlife of London's Roaring Twenties. The official key notes are juniper berry, vetiver, and black pepper, and the fragrance turns British storytelling into a chilled, witty, and slightly mysterious aromatic woody scent.
Scent Profile
The opening is driven by juniper berry and angelica, giving a cool botanical bitterness. Orange brandy and cinnamon add a cocktail-like warmth, while cardamom, black pepper, leather, and orris shape the middle. The drydown moves into brown sugar, black cherry, vetiver, and ambrox, creating a sweet but dry aftertaste rather than a dessert-like finish.
Who It's For
It suits people who enjoy gin, herbal freshness, dry spice, and fragrances that feel clean without becoming plain. It works especially well in spring and summer, with white shirts, linen, light jackets, dinners, and bars. Longevity and projection are moderate, so it is best worn as a close-range scent with a freshly mixed-cocktail character.
