Penhaligon's 2003 EDP
Malabah
Penhaligon's Malabah is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Malabah opens with Lemon, Coriander, and Tea, settles into a heart of Rose, Orris, Cardamom, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Penhaligon's's Malabah carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
A divisive scent for the Penhaligon's faithful, Malabah is often described as a sophisticated lemon and ginger tea. Love it or hate it, its fleeting nature is its biggest flaw, leaving many wishing for more potency and longevity from this intriguing spice blend.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and non-overpowering profile makes it perfect for office or casual wear, as noted by many reviewers. The poor longevity and soft sillage mean it's unlikely to offend, but also doesn't project enough for formal events or bold date nights.
