The Ingénue Cousin Flora

$245.00

The Ingenue Cousin Flora opens with peach and bergamot, the fruit giving the composition an immediate brightness that the 'ingenue' character implies: young, unguarded, not yet accustomed to the weight of the room. Rose and peony arrive in the heart with iris and violet, the four florals combining into something that smells like a freshly arranged bouquet in the morning light of a country house. Vanilla and sandalwood close with a warmth that is gentle rather than opulent. A fragrance with the quality of a specific, optimistic time of life.

Why We Carry This

Penhaligon's portraits series captures specific characters rather than aspirational archetypes, and The Ingenue Cousin Flora is among the most charming: the peach-peony-iris combination is genuinely pretty without being saccharine, and the vanilla-sandalwood base gives it a warmth that the ingenue character eventually grows into.
