Maison Alhambra Exclusif Rose

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on pear, litchi and bergamot, moves through turkish rose, floral notes and peony, and settles on rose petals, palisander rosewood and amber.

• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness
• litchi: light, watery and floral-sweet, a little like rose-flavoured sweets

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.
