What do reviewers say about Malabah and Moonmilk?
Penhaligon's has a way with restraint, and Malabah is proof. Not the loudest Oriental in the room, the one that stays after everyone else has left. Earl Grey and coriander open the conversation.Malabah
This one confused people on first sniff because it doesn't smell like typical atmospheric fragrances. The Lime-Black Tea opening is genuinely unusual, and the drydown's leather note catches many off.Moonmilk
