Eau de Charles…

WEATHER (8)

If you can’t be a king, at least you can smell like one… At least, that’s what King Charles and English perfumery Penhaligon hope people will say when the monarch’s new scent debuts. Charles worked with Penhaligon’s perfumer Julie Pluchet to design ‘Highgrove Bouquet’, a unisex perfume that captures “the scent of the weeping silver lime tree”. Pluchet says she doesn’t know “that it’s been used in any other fragrances – it has wonderful green, floral, powdery and animal facets”. Mmm sniffalicious… Joining the ranks of pop and sports stars bringing in cents with scents, reports say a portion of the King’s perfume proceeds will go to The Prince’s Trust, which supports youth education/employment. If you’d like to get yourself some of that silver lime scent, a 100ml bottle retails for $320 and will be available at DJ’s this month.
