Penhaligon's Vaara 50ml EDP Spray
Step into a sensory journey with Penhaligon's Vaara, a unisex Eau de Parfum that entwines Indian market freshness with regal garden romance. From the bustling stalls of Jodhpur to the cool shade of the Maharaja’s summer residence, Vaara unfolds as a rich, multi-layered perfume that evolves on the skin with grace and confidence.
The opening blends coriander seed and carrot seed with creamy saffron and the bright tartness of quince, elevated by a whisper of rosewater. In the heart, two luxurious rose accords meet freesia, iris and Indian Magnolia for a luminous, almost airy floral bouquet, warmed by peony. The scent settles into a luxurious base of honeyed sweetness, white musk and resins, layered over cedarwood, sandalwood and benzoin with tonka bean for a soft, edible finish.
