Ébène
8.7Maison Alhambra
Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand
Maison Alhambra Ébène is a unisex oriental woody scent that takes a sweet, gourmand base and darkens it with spice, smoke and resin.
The top opens with artemisia, elemi resin and clove, spicy and resinous from the start. In the heart, gaiac wood, frankincense and cistus build a woody, smoky body. The base of musk, benzoin, amber and vanilla settles into a powdery, creamy sweetness, with a leathery edge in the background.
Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Zimaya Wujood and Nakuna Iho have a close profile.
