Changing Constance Intense

Changing Constance Intense, a 2026 release from the British house Penhaligon's in Eau de Parfum Intense concentration, is a warm, spicy and sweet composition made for women.

Pimento, cardamom and saffron open with a warm, aromatic spice, pimento adding a clove-like heat, cardamom a cool freshness and saffron a golden, slightly leathery tone. The heart is all caramel, buttery and toffee-like, giving the composition a rich, edible sweetness. The base is cosy and smooth: vanilla adds a creamy softness, tobacco a dry, leafy, slightly sweet warmth and cashmeran a soft, musky woodiness.

As an intense version, it is designed to feel deeper and richer, with spice and caramel at its core. Its character points to autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions, and it would suit dinners, celebrations or cosy nights. It should appeal to anyone who loves spiced caramel and tobacco-vanilla scents and wants something warm and enveloping.
