Penhaligon's, a quintessentially British brand, established in 1870, have been perfumers to the British royal family for decades. This has earned them, not just one but two Royal Warrants over time. For the uninitiated, a Royal Warrant is a mark of recognition bestowed on those select few who have provided goods or services, for at least five years, to the households of HM The Queen of England, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, or HRH The Prince of Wales.

Now Penhaligon's can add to its royal customer base, yet another name, Maharaja Gaj Singh II of Marwar-Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The Maharaja commissioned a scent to commemorate the birth of his granddaughter, Vaara, after whom the perfume is named. He wanted the scent to reflect his family's deep love and connection with Jodhpur.
