Vaara
ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE
Penhaligon's presents Vaara as an opulent Rajasthan-inspired Eau de Parfum built around succulent quince, fragrant roses and sun-warmed woods, with Indian magnolia and white musk highlighted among its key notes.

OUR TAKE
The opening initially reminded me of rose-and-oud fragrances, but it soon moves towards a cleaner rose. The quince-like fruitiness is the part that really stands out to me and gives it something distinctive. Beautiful, although ultimately it leans a little too feminine for me.
