Maison Alhambra Victorioso Nero

Mostly smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery. Underneath that, salty and mineral, like sea spray.

It opens on aquozone, bergamot and buchu or agathosma, moves through amber, bran and ice cream, and settles on cocoa, damask rose and geranium.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

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.
