Ostara by Penhaligon's is inspired by the daffodil, capturing the scent of spring in full bloom. The sweet aroma is started with a lively trio of the top notes like bergamot, juniper, and pink pepper. Then it unfolds into a heart of narcissus, beeswax, and ylang-ylang. Vanilla, musk, and vetiver as base notes create a warm and lovely ending. The overall scent is a balance between the sweet floral with the light earthy note, making it feel like a springtime stroll through a garden in the sun.
