When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall 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.

Best 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.

About

Legacy of Petra transports you to ancient spice routes with its intoxicating blend of liquorice, fennel, and smoky myrrh. The opening strikes with aromatic fennel and citrus, quickly enveloped by swirling incense and resinous depths. Vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli add creamy woodiness, while the sweetness is measured, never cloying. This Penhaligon’s composition is sophisticated and mysterious, with an undercurrent of warmth that lingers like a desert breeze at dusk.
