With each fragrance in the Portraits collection, Penhaligon's tells the story of an aristocratic figure and her eccentric ways. Rebel, contradictory, independent, unconventional - these are the words that describe Clara, Lord George's illicit lover. And true to form, Clara's fragrance could be described in much the same way as a smoky, smoothly woody feminine fragrance that is not for the faint of heart, but sure to catch the attention of sophisticated thrill seekers. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, Clandestine Clara layers rich, smooth rum vanilla on top of musky cinnamon with a touch of ambery patchouli in the base. Is Clandestine Clara a demanding fragrance? We'd have to say it - but as Lord George can attest, it's a challenge that must be met.
