Summary

Legacy of Petra is a dry, resinous woody-spicy fragrance with an unusual fennel-and-licorice thread running through the composition. Green tea and bergamot brighten the opening while fennel gives it a cool aromatic sweetness. Licorice, myrrh, olibanum and rosemary deepen the heart with herbal, resinous and slightly medicinal facets. Benzoin and vanilla soften the base without erasing the dry woody structure. The result is warm but not syrupy, balancing spice, incense, herbs and balsamic sweetness. Penhaligon’s current presentation shortens the name to Petra, but this bottle is retained under its Legacy of Petra identity.
