Maison Alhambra Amberley Amoroso

Mostly soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on saffron, aldehydes and pink pepper, moves through musk, rose and geranium, and settles on white musk, leather and cedarwood.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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