About the Fragrance
Like a tribute to the enchanting citrus groves of the Alhambra, Oranger Alhambra presents an exhilarating and vivid journey of the senses, a fresh infusion of dazzling bigarade, petit grain and bergamot. These notes mingle with the captivating floral heart of neroli, jasmine, marjoram and rosemary, before drying down to a deep, woody base of patchouli and moss. The scent is a vibrant reinterpretation of a classic, an ode to the captivating citrus groves of the Alhambra, its fragrant air, and its mesmerizing beauty.
