Maison Alhambra Ébène EDP 90ml

Ébène | Maison Alhambra

The closest is Babycat | Yves Saint Laurent.

The Ébène is a shareable fragrance with a spicy, smoky and ambery profile, known for its similarity to Babycat. It combines intense spices, incense and woods with a warm base of vanilla and resins, creating a mysterious and sophisticated perfume. The community particularly highlights the similarity between the two during the drydown, when the vanilla becomes softer and more enveloping.

Opening

It opens with elemi, cloves, and mugwort, creating an intense, aromatic, and highly spicy opening. The cloves add warmth, while the mugwort introduces a green and slightly bitter facet. The elemi reinforces the resinous character, giving the fragrance a dry and mysterious opening.

Heart

In the heart, frankincense and guaiac wood take center stage. The frankincense adds an incense-like and slightly smoky dimension, while the guaiac wood brings depth and a woody, warm, and enveloping texture.

Base

The drydown reveals a combination of vanilla, benzoin, amber, and musk. The vanilla softens the spices and the incense, while the benzoin adds a balsamic and slightly sweet facet. The amber adds warmth to the composition, and the musk leaves a softer finish.

Overall, what does it smell like?

A spicy, smoky, resinous, and vanilla-scented perfume, that combines the intense character of incense with a warm and creamy base.

The opening is drier and more intense, with the cloves and resins prominently present. As it evolves, the vanilla takes center stage and makes the fragrance softer, more enveloping, and sensual.

The DNA of Babycat is particularly recognizable in the combination of spices, resins, and vanilla. Even so, Ébène has its own personality, with a very pronounced incense and woody facet.

The vibe it conveys

Mysterious, intense, and sophisticated. It is a perfume with character, ideal for those who like warm and spicy fragrances, with a smoky side and elegant vanilla.

It works especially well for evenings, dates, and special occasions, particularly during the fall and winter. It is not a fresh or subtle fragrance: it has a striking identity and stands out for its evolution between spices, incense, and vanilla.

Gender trend: Unisex.
