    This is rather a woodsy citrus on me than a spicy oriental. Those biological insectrepellant oils smell a bit like it: Citrus, Cedar, and clove, I think. Malabah is not even near to represent...

    I love how this scent works on me! It's sweet and spicy with a touch of citrus. One of the few "spicy-ish" scents that doesn't give me a headache. This is a really wrist-sniffer throughout the day!...

    This is a lovely scent... spicy, as everyone says, but not overly so. There's sort of a sweet floral thing right in the beginning that fades as the day goes on and reveals the more subtle, sexy...

    Malabah's one of those gorgeous scents that you throw on when you don't want to be good, but not altogether naughty either. Its a spicey scent, but not on the level of COCO or Pure Poison. Its...

    Mmmm ... ginger tea, with a little extra spice, a dollop of honey, and a swirl of fresh orange rind. Yummy. This is nice and light, something I'd probably reach for on a day I wanted a pick-me-up...

    I just love Penhaligon's!!! I just wished I had tried it sooner! Malabah is such a beautiful, many layered scent and it melds so well with my skin. Nothing too spicy, so no it's not 'India in a...

    4 1/2 lippies. This is the only citrusy fragrance I've ever liked. Crisp and transparent ginger, tea, and lemon peel with an echo of spices-- perhaps cardamom? Light enough for summer, spicy...

    I had an interesting experience buying this at the store - the SA did not want to sell it to me. She repeatedly advised that it was sweet, very sweet. In the first few minutes I didn't think it...

    I love this scent. It has a fresh opening and a warm and sultry dry down. If you are new to spicy scents, this will be a great one to start with b/c it is not overwhelming. If you love spicy...

    Sniffing Malabah reminds me of a cup of orange ginger tea. The ginger note is definitely present, although less sweet and more spicy. A spicy sweet confection with a dry note from the tea....

    I wanted to really like Malabah. A much cheaper "dead ringer" for it is Crabtree & Evelyn's Sarawak, which was a LE, which had better lasting power. I smelled citrus, spices like clove, cinnamon...

    I guess I'm the lone dissenter here - I love Malabah. I didn't even try it at first because just sniffing it from the bottle, I hated it. It was sharp, too much ginger, too much tea, and no...

    I just received this from Saks. Upon first spritz, I am not impressed....so far, this is so *not* me. It's a very "interesting" scent, to say the least. I will give it another try, though. If I...

    It's not deep, spicy or rich despite its notes (spices/woods)and rather exotic name--I detect ginger and lemon in the opening, which gives it a "zesty" feel (can't believe I just used that word,...

    Penhaligon's newest fragrance for fall, Malabah, reminds me of a field of orange leaves blended dipped in an mix of exotic spices. Described as "sparkling with notes of citrus and tea, with a heart...
