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 and resinous 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.
