Maison Alhambra Afro Leather

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cardamom, leather and geranium, moves through cumin, patchouli and vetiver, and settles on geranium, musk and agarwood.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• leather: like a new leather jacket: dry, smoky, faintly bitter

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
