PENHALIGON'S
OSTARA

Ostara opens with a vibrant burst of black currant blossom and bergamot, layered with refreshing mint and a hint of pink pepper that adds a gentle warmth. As it evolves, the heart reveals a lush bouquet of hyacinth, wisteria, and narcissus, enveloped in the creamy richness of beeswax. This floral explosion is grounded by subtle notes of green leaves and the soft sweetness of clementine, creating a fresh yet complex profile. The dry down brings a comforting embrace of vanilla, amber, and white wood, while musk and styrax lend depth, ensuring a smooth transition from floral brightness to warm, resinous elegance. Ostara is ideal for women seeking a versatile fragrance that can easily transition from day to night, making it suitable for any season. Its longevity is impressive, lingering on the skin without overwhelming, while the sillage is moderate, offering a pleasant presence without being intrusive. This fragrance stands out in the floral category due to its unique combination of green and spicy notes, making it a distinctive choice for those who appreciate both freshness and depth. If you enjoy fragrances like Diptyque's Eau Rose or Chanel's Chance Eau Tendre, Ostara is worth exploring.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Ostara opens on green leaves and violet leaf before easing into a narcissus and hyacinth heart. What you'll smell on skin hours in is vanilla, benzoin, and amber, the base does the heavy lifting here. Comfortable year-round. The 4.2-star rating with 4,803 voters behind it makes a blind buy defensible.
