What does Alhambra smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong, while its sillage stays moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. Most voters find it feminine.

It opens with lemon and mint brightness alongside the green edge of geranium. At the heart, vetiver, patchouli, oud and gaiac wood build a woody, spicy body. The base of white musk and ambergris softens everything into a slightly sweet, powdery finish.
