PENHALIGON'S
MALABAH

Malabah by Penhaligon's opens with an invigorating blend of tea, coriander, and a zesty hint of lemon that awakens the senses. As it settles, the heart reveals a complex interplay of ginger, rose, cardamom, orris root, and nutmeg, transforming the initial freshness into a warm and spicy embrace. The dry down is anchored by the richness of amber, musk, and sandalwood, creating a depth that balances the earlier brightness with sophistication. This fragrance is versatile enough for year-round wear, appealing to women who appreciate a blend of fresh and spicy notes. It performs well, with a solid longevity and sillage that leaves a lasting impression without overwhelming the senses. Malabah is perfect for both daytime outings and evening gatherings, making it a reliable choice for various occasions. If you enjoy fragrances that merge warmth with a vibrant freshness, Malabah is a standout option that rivals others in its category, such as Diptyque's Eau Rose, but with a more complex, spicy character.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Expect lemon and tea up top, with ginger and cardamom carrying the middle of the wear. The dry-down settles on amber, sandalwood, and musk, giving the composition its lasting character. Comfortable year-round. Most wearers settle on liking it (4.0/5) rather than loving it, a safe rotation addition.
