About This Perfume

Think bright citrus breeze with a subtle salty, woody undertone: that is Maison Alhambra Encode Blue. It opens with exotic fruits, pink pepper and Sicilian bergamot, moves into ambergris and marine notes and settles on Indonesian patchouli, leather and woody notes. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days and the office. Released in 2023.

In the community's experience it fades within a few hours, and stays close to the skin. Plan to reapply on a long day.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
  • Sample first if: you are unsure about strong marine notes; this one divides opinion.
  • Skip if: you want one spray to last all day.

Around $33.
