THE LEGACY OF PETRA
Bracing desert winds. A riddle of bergamot and balsam. Dusk greets a convoy of fragrant woody amber – and just in time for tea. Warm myrrh makes tarrying tempting. But is it all a façade? Surely not.

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.

Winter gold!
This is my December fragrance, hands down! It's so comforting, unique and warming, it's like you're surrounded by something both ancient and Christmasy. Perfect myrrh fragrance and reminiscent of warm, sunny deserts when the world is cold and dark. A definite head-turner with ensuing, curious compliments aplenty. :)
by Katie Grace
Gorgeous.
I'll be honest, it took me a few spritz 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. ❤️
by Koren Lucas
AWESOME
I hope this fragrance never goes away! Smells absolutely amazing!
by JoLynda Lawecki
Utterly luscious and bright.
The warmth of myrrh and vanilla with spicy notes of licorice-y fennel. It is somehow both warm and bright due to the fennel and citrusy green notes of rosemary (of which there’s only a hint of). I got a sampler and absolutely love it. Having been to Petra, I can say this fits in well with the images I still carry from that magical fortress. Now I need to decide if I should buy this or the Yasmine, which is another favorite scent yet totally different.
by Marina Malik
Amazing fragrance
Loved the classy, evening fragrance. It was like I in the middle of Arab desert all dressed up for an amazing evening. Thanks for the sample. Would definitely recommend to others

My new Favourite
have quite a few Penhaligons that I like, probably Halfeti being my favourite followed by Lothair and then Endymion. Had a few that I liked in the shop but didn't want to use long term like Lord George. So didn't want to risk buying something I wasn't sure of but liked the descripton, so bought the tester and like it so much I have ordered a full size bottle. I don't like soapy smelling scents, prefer the woody style, I think this is sort of tobacco, leather and vanilla but my wife doesn't get the first two. Have been using for a week and I must saying going back to the others I much prefer Petra. Will be buying more of this to be sure...
by Julie McAleney
Deliciously seductive
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. 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.
by Simon Yates
A firm favourite in the making
A wonderful new scent to add to the collection. Sweet yet with a musky depth that lasts all day, I can see this one becoming a firm favourite.
by Anita Campbell
Absolutely stunning!
Spicy but somehow still fresh! I’m a huge fan of liquorice but some fragrances don’t know how to make it work without making the scent too sweet. This concoction is excellently balanced. Loved at first sniff!

I am obsessed, this scent is gorgeous.
I recently bought this perfume, it is my first Penhaligon's scent, and I am absolutely in love with it. I have tried many samples of different scents from this house, giving up feeling defeated a couple times, to try to find my signature Penhaligons scent, and this one struck me like lightning when I first smelled it on my skin. I thought of nothing else until I finally got my hands on this bottle. The licorice, myrrh and bergamot are blended so elegantly that it is sweet, bright, powerful, yet seductive. I am a big perfume enthusiast and I sincerely hope that this scent is around a long time because I have ignored the rest of my collection entirely in favor of this bottle for the last 2 months. I so wish there were bath and body products in this scent because as the saying goes, "I could bathe in this stuff!"
