The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Ostara by Penhaligon's is a Floral Green fragrance crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. The scent opens with green leaves and violet leaf, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. This vibrant start gives way to a heart of black currant blossom and hyacinth, which add a delicate sweetness and floral depth. The base notes of beeswax and amber provide warmth and longevity, grounding the composition in a sophisticated and comforting finish.
Apply this fragrance lightly to your pulse points — the green top notes are immediate but fleeting. The floral heart will bloom within an hour, and the amber base will linger throughout the day, ensuring that Ostara remains subtle yet present.
