Which Should You Buy?
A quietly magnetic resinous-spicy oriental, Legacy of Petra seduces with its smooth liquorice and myrrh, offering Penhaligon's refinement for those who crave intrigue and warmth without bombast.
This one is a divisive fig - expect anything from 'divine' to 'old haunted house'. If you're after green, woody fig with a smoky leather twist, and you don't mind a bit of a journey from the opening, you'll likely love it. If incense or leather aren't your jam, steer clear of a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Legacy of Petra's resinous warmth and spicy sweetness excel in cool to cold weather, especially autumn, while its depth and richness can also comfort on winter days. The spice and faint freshness from bergamot and tea allow use in early spring, but the opulence is less suited to hot summer days.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and rich, spicy character work best for sophisticated dates, elegant evenings, or formal events. It can be worn casually by those who love orientals, but is too complex and enveloping for sporty or very informal settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and bold character, especially with the leather and incense notes, lends itself perfectly to dates and formal events. It's a versatile all-year-round scent, though some find it heavy for high heat.
