Fragrance information:

The house of Penhaligon's gifted the world with Vaara in 2013. A feminine fragrance rooted in the east and floral families. The talent of Bertrand Duchaufour is written all over this bottle. By character, it falls into the floral, fruit, and spicy groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of sweet can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. One of the scents from the Ladies Fragrances collection. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.

It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. Recommended dosage: 1-2 sprays on skin, 3-4 sprays on clothing. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Behind this fragrance stands the United Kingdom and its rich perfumery heritage. Vaara Penhaligon's — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Vaara evolves as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Penhaligon's is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Floral, Fruit, Spicy and Sweet. The framework further includes Balsamic, Wood, Musk and Gourmet.

At the opening of the pyramid you sense piquant warm opening notes: Carrot Seeds, Coriander, Quince and Rose.

In the heart you sense Freesia, Magnolia, Peony and Rose carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.

The accord architecture rests on these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Wood, Powdery and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.

Taken together Vaara holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
