Silver Penny was the original CHRISTOPHER HANLON™ perfume created in 1994 and carefully refined after two decades of backyard aromatic experiments. This classic Australian combination of floral notes is perfectly balanced with tropical Queensland citrus top notes but lavishly enriched with Western Australian Sandalwood Absolute. Bitter Orange Bergamot is juxtaposed and spliced with chards of Saffron, Neroli, Geelong Lemon and tangy Manuka, before Christopher Hanlon’s™ signature fermenting. The perfume has been skillfully blended with natural green notes of Violet and Patchouli. Finally the dry down lingers: a sophisticated fragrant concoction with a hint of Queensland Ginger.
Good news! Christopher Hanlon™ Perfumes alter to each person's body chemistry as they contain no added fixatives. Given this, the same female perfume for example, may smell different on a male and vice versa, naturally. Apply generously onto your wrists, neck and pulse points – your body heat will help to diffuse the luxurious botanical fragrance as the day goes on. Wear alone or layer with another CHRISTOPHER HANLON™ cologne or your favourite bath & body product. Discover the HANLON™ positive affirmation anointing ritual in Masterclass.
His-Story: developed for personal use by Christopher Hanlon™, then sold to men particularly in the CBD, Surry Hills, Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and Paddington (Sydney) in the '90s. The worldwide consumer-frenzy this perfume has caused is now quite literally, legendary. Today this aromatic scent is one of our most popular amongst fashionable jet-set girls. MADONNA is a fan.
Trade secret aromatic fragrances are deeply embedded in the House of Hanlon's Australian heritage. Christopher Hanlon™ returns to his roots some 145 years after its Australian blossoming.

UNIQUELY DIFFERENT
Christopher Hanlon® Perfume is formulated using a unique process called Méthode Électromagnétique Fermentation®. What does this mean? As such Christopher’s perfumes cannot be compared to conventional perfumes because notes have been fused displacing various accords and discords. The artist Christopher Hanlon® invented a new perfume genre, not based on traditional top, middle and base notes. Christopher adds: ‘I would estimate that 95% of perfumes today are retro in so far as they formulate using the classic 3 tiered hierachy of top, middle and base’. Hanlon’s® revolutionary process allows key base notes to be cancelled as softer notes are ironically amplified. Add to the equation botanical notes like Australian Bush Potato that have hitherto not been used in perfumery. The bizarre blending culminates in signature blends that are wholistic, pure and unique. Christopher Hanlon® invented the process in 1994 using crackpot methods at Paddington Markets which today have been scientifically perfected. Some call it the devotee's raison d'être. Others call it perfection.
His-Storical Note: Based out of Sydney and Geelong today, each fragrance is still weighed, mixed, fermented, macerated and hand filtered to carefully remove remnants of the botanicals by Christopher’s own hand. Artisan made has been a family tradition of the House of Hanlon® since the 1800s. This craft continues the Art of Hanlon's® perfume making into the future — a timeless take on his-story, bottled.

Silver Penny is a fragrance inspired by the ‘The Silver Penny’ – a coin used in Australia in the 1800s. This story is about a young pioneering couple set in a Sydney cafe in The Strand Arcade. It captures the essence of that time and transports you to another era. Modern and timeless. A story inspired by an artistic couple who would leave messages for each other using silver pennies. A testament to bohemian love and creatively conquering obstacles. Hanlon's fragrances are his-stories – that come to life.
