Alhambra

Bergamot and bitter orange crash open with sharp lemon brightness, then Sichuan pepper arrives—a prickling, almost electric warmth that lifts the florals. Ylang-ylang softens into creamy sweetness while palisander rosewood lends cool, pencil-shaving dryness alongside geranium's green pepper edge. Cedar weaves through it all with austere clarity. As the top fades, sandalwood emerges creamy and warm, anchoring vanilla absolute's honeyed roundness against dark patchouli earth, until only soft sandalwood and vanilla linger on skin.
