Maison Alhambra Yeah Parfum

Mostly clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on apple, aldehydes and ginger, moves through lavender, sage and geranium, and settles on tonka bean, patchouli and cedar.

• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend
• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient

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.
