Alhambra Oud

Alhambra Oud opens with crisp apple and orange blossom brightness, immediately shadowed by the resinous, animalic pull of agarwood that refuses to soften. Jasmine and rose emerge in the heart, their floralcy threading through persistent oud—no sweetness, just deep woody smoke and green-edged petals tangling together. As the composition settles, birch's cool, almost medicinal dryness anchors the oud's leathery warmth, while ambroxan adds a subtle creamy backbone that prevents the resin from turning austere. The drydown is a slow fade of birch smoke and lingering agarwood, faintly waxy and intimate against skin.
