About

Clandestine Clara Eau de Parfum envelops the senses in a swirl of dark rum, seductive vanilla, and spicy cinnamon, seamlessly fused with patchouli and a resinous base of amber, cypriol, and opoponax. The opening is boldly boozy and sweet, quickly developing a plush, powdery gourmand heart. Rich, enveloping, and mysterious, Clara lingers with a velvety trail of tonka and woods, conjuring the allure of a clandestine evening rendezvous. This is Penhaligon's at its most decadent and provocative.
