Launched in 2003 by Penhaligon's, Malabah is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women that balances fresh and warm notes with aromatic complexity. The composition opens with a bright burst of lemon and tea, which then gives way to the warmth of coriander, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg. This spicy heart is complemented by rose and orris root, leading into a base of amber, sandalwood, and musk that reads as both powdery and warm.
