Penhaligon's Juniper Sling
Fresh, aromatic, spicy, woody, lightly boozy, and dry.
Key Notes: Juniper Berry, Black Pepper, Vetiver
Juniper Sling is built around a crisp gin-like burst of juniper, sharpened by black pepper and grounded by vetiver. Penhaligon’s official presentation keeps the structure concise, while the fuller composition is associated with angelica, orange brandy, cinnamon, cardamom, iris, leather, amber, cherry, and brown-sugar facets. The fragrance stays bright and playful rather than dense, with warm spice and dry woods giving the fresh opening more depth. Its relatively airy projection makes it especially easy to wear in warm weather and daytime settings.

Summary
Summary
Penhaligon’s Juniper Sling is a fresh-spicy Eau de Toilette inspired by London Dry Gin. Juniper berry gives the opening its immediately recognizable gin-like freshness while black pepper adds bite and vetiver keeps the drydown crisp and dry. Supporting angelica, citrus, cardamom, iris, leather, and warm ambered facets add complexity without turning it heavy. Created by Olivier Cresp and released in 2011, Juniper Sling remains part of Penhaligon’s current British Tales collection. Its 4-6 hour wear and soft projection make it better suited to warm weather and daytime use than to high-impact evening wear. It fits shoppers who want an unusual aromatic fresh fragrance with spice, woods, and a playful boozy character.
