Penhaligon's Amaranthine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Amaranthine opens with Palm Leaf, Freesia, Cardamom, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Milk, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Penhaligon's's Amaranthine carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Amaranthine embodies a unique, sensual warmth that's truly unforgettable. Expect a creamy, spicy jungle walk - providing your skin chemistry plays ball.

About

Amaranthine kicks off with an exotic green burst of palm leaf and tea, spiced up by cardamom and coriander. As it settles, a lush, creamy floral heart takes over, dominated by ylang-ylang, rose, and orange blossom, tinged with clove and carnation. The final act introduces a sensual base of warm milk and vanilla, underpinned by smooth sandalwood and musk, making for a uniquely humid and intoxicating dry-down.
