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.
Yellow Royal chases Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, the benchmark herbal amber: the thick resinous-amber base tempered by dry bay leaf and oregano comes through, with vanilla and benzoin lending warmth. The dupe flattens the original's gooey, three-dimensional resin and clips its strong sillage, wearing skin-close, but as a budget amber it captures the distinctive herbal-sweet character for a fraction of the price.

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
A thick resinous amber with warm vanilla and dry herbs feels at home in cold weather and heavy in summer.
Occasions
Its bold, sensual amber character leans evenings, dates and formal nights over the office or sport.
