Maison Alhambra Exclusif Saffron

Mostly smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on buchu or agathosma, earthy notes and green lilac, moves through amber, black cherry and bran, and settles on clary sage, damask rose and freesia.

• leather: like a new leather jacket: dry, smoky, faintly bitter
• amber: warm sweet resin, soft and slightly powdery. More of a glow than a sharp smell

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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