Our Verdict - Legacy of Petra Eau de Parfum

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.

Favourite

Our Verdict - of the Missions Cologne

A legendary, warm vanilla with a cult following and a tragic discontinuation story. Widely praised as a natural, boozy vanilla extract, it's adored for its comforting, sophisticated aroma-if you can still find it for a decent price. Often described as a 'masterpiece'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Legacy of Petra Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

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.

of the Missions Cologne

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its intimate sillage and comforting vanilla make it perfect for casual wear and dates. While its 'cologne' label suggests lightness, some find it too sweet or present for a high-formality office, but it's generally versatile enough for most settings where close contact is appreciated.
