Maison Alhambra Aromatic Rouge

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on cardamom, ginger and mandarin orange, moves through jasmine and rose, and settles on woodsy notes and moss.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
