The high-end fragrance brand has an exclusive sale on some of its most coveted scents, including one with an ‘enchanting and woody’ aroma that shoppers believe is reminiscent of Tom Ford
Fragrance lovers, brace yourselves for a treat as Penhaligon’s slashes prices on their ‘instant classic’ scent by £115. The prestigious perfume house is rolling out up to 40% off across an array of their sought-after scents, and Petra Unboxed, or Legacy of Petra, is stealing the spotlight with its enchanting woody spicy aroma that’s winning over both men and women.
Created in 2022 under the nose of Natalie Gracia-Cettoa renowned perfumer from the world’s fragrance capital, Grassethis perfume has swiftly carved out its niche. Natalie’s illustrious career boasts creations like Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Male and Scandal lines, not to mention Tom Ford’s summer sensation, Soleil Blanc.
The scent bursts into life with a crisp concoction of green tea, fennel, and bergamot. At its core, it honours the historic city it’s named after through a rich tapestry of liquorice, myrrh, olibanum, and rosemary. Its base notes of benzoin, vanilla, and woodsy elements ensure the fragrance’s enduring presence on the skin.
Hailed as both timeless and enigmatic, it offers wearers an air of intrigue. A thrilled customer shared: “INSTANT CLASSIC. Goodness, I was mesmerised by this the first time I tested it and have not wavered from that. It is so deep and mysterious but never overwhelming. Transports you back in time to a place of enchantment. Glorious, thank you.”
A second confessed: “I’ll be honest, it took me a few spritzes to get used to this one but once my nose figured it out it’s now one of my absolute favourites, and I will definitely be purchasing the full size! I prefer it after about 15 minutes so the head note of fennel fades away and the myrrh, amber and vanilla come through instead; then it smells so warm, comforting and exotic, and it lasts for hours. Absolutely beautiful.”
Another enthusiast exclaimed: “Ordered a sample, excitedly sprayed it on my wrists and like a secret being revealed, my senses were spinning. I absolutely adore this fragrance. It is strong and heady and makes me feel gorgeous.”
Yet another devotee enthused: “I can unequivocally say that this is, hands down, my favourite scent of any perfumery let alone from Penhaligons house, and I have a lot of Penhaligons fragrances, this one is unbeatable. It genuinely is the dreamed of, elusive scent of something timeless and very like incense (undoubtedly thanks to the myrrh) that I have been longing for! It is complete perfection on my skin.”
