Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for the Penhaligon's faithful, Malabah is often described as a sophisticated lemon and ginger tea. Love it or hate it, its fleeting nature is its biggest flaw, leaving many wishing for more potency and longevity from this intriguing spice blend.
A reliable, crowd-pleasing warm and spicy tobacco scent that's easy to reach for and always gets compliments. It's not complex, but who needs complexity when you smell this good?

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and non-overpowering profile makes it perfect for office or casual wear, as noted by many reviewers. The poor longevity and soft sillage mean it's unlikely to offend, but also doesn't project enough for formal events or bold date nights.
