Maison Alhambra Amberley Pure Oud

Mostly like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on agarwood, saffron and geranium, moves through leather, rose and amber, and settles on incense and musk.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• geranium: green rosy leaf, sharper and more minty than rose itself

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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