About
Clandestine Clara by Penhaligon's is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women. Clandestine Clara was launched in 2017. The fragrance features Rum, Amber, Vanilla, Woody Notes, Cinnamon and Patchouli. Pehaligon's: "Allow me to present to you the unofficial side of Lord George’s dynasty, beginning with - as we have come to know her - Clandestine Clara. And isn’t she a complex creature… A forceful personality, spicy but equally sweet, she has travelled in exotic countries and company - and in her smoky, velvety, woody air you may detect a memory (or three) of his Lordship… (One would certainly never guess the lady also smokes…). She is rebellious, contradictory, independent, unconventional - a woman ahead of her time. But above all, as you will discover, she is a true gourmand, completely delectable (and Lord George would know)."
