About This Perfume
Think bright lemon and bergamot with a peppery herbal edge: that is Maison Alhambra Avant. It opens with apple, bergamot and blackcurrant, moves into birch, jasmine and juniper berry and settles on ambergris, musk and oakmoss. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 2022.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and aromatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong fresh notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
