In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

As Sawira is a warm saffron, rose and oud fragrance with a polished Penhaligon's finish and a darker resinous base. Reviewers often describe a strong, spicy opening that settles into myrrh, amber, labdanum and soft woods, with rose and saffron staying close to the centre. It suits oud lovers who want something smoothe…

Reviews →

Zara Stunningly Venice opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and sour red berries before resting into a faint myrrh base. Designed by Jo Malone in 2021, this fruity citrus splash delivers a crisp, soapy aura for casual warm spring days. It stays close to the skin, offering an easy reach after a morning shower.
