The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Penhaligon's, Ninevah is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that embodies the rich heritage of this British brand founded in 1869. The composition opens with sweet and fruity notes that create an immediate sense of warmth and comfort, leading into a gourmand heart of vanilla that adds depth and indulgence. The warm spicy and amber accords provide a sensual backdrop, while the powdery base brings a soft, enveloping finish.
Apply Ninevah in light layers for maximum effect; the gourmand heart of vanilla is best experienced close to skin rather than from across the room. The spicy and powdery base notes develop slowly over time, making it ideal for evening wear.
