Zen Garden - Penhaligon's A Balm of Calm Inspiration

Zen Garden captures the essence of a Japanese Zen garden. A sanctuary of balance, simplicity, and mindful tranquility. Like the raked sand and carefully placed stones, this fragrance is a harmonious blend of delicate, meditative notes designed to center the spirit and calm the mind.

It opens with the fresh, herbal clarity of clary sage and rosemary, reminiscent of morning dew on moss and green foliage. The heart unfolds into a soft, powdery embrace of iris and white musk, echoing the smooth stones and gentle textures found in a tranquil garden. Finally, grounding notes of frankincense, sandalwood, and cedarwood evoke the warmth of sunlit wood and ancient trees, rooting the wearer in quiet strength and enduring calm.
