Maison Alhambra is one of the largest fragrance houses in the UAE, and its whole purpose is to make the styles everyone is talking about available at a price that does not require thinking twice. The catalogue runs to hundreds of releases, and the best of them have become reference points in their own right.

Available now. Stock on this brand moves quickly and much of the range is between deliveries, so here is what you can order today.

Florals. Delilah is the one the brand is best known for, a rich modern floral that the fragrance community most often lines up against Parfums de Marly Delina. The line has since grown: Delilah Pour Femme and Delilah Viola take it in their own directions, and Delilah Blanc is available as a 2ml sample, a clean powdery floral that wears quieter than the others.

Kismet is apricot, rose and jasmine over tuberose and narcissus, finishing on amber and cedar. Fruity and floral with real warmth underneath, and Kismet Magic is the sweeter, more gourmand take on the same idea.

Fresh and citrus. Jean Lowe Azure is the summer pick of the range: mandarin and bergamot opening onto juicy orange, then settling into warm ginger and ambergris. Fresh at the top and unexpectedly warm underneath, which is what makes it wearable beyond the hot months. There is a 2ml sample if you want to try before committing.

Warm, spiced and dark. Hercules is the cold weather choice, a warm spiced composition that wearers compare to the tobacco and vanilla style of far more expensive fragrances. Salvo Elixir is the darkest thing here, built on black pepper, tobacco and pineapple over coffee, patchouli and iris with a resinous amber base, and it comes in a 60ml bottle. Smoky and Black Origami complete the darker end of the current selection.

Also in stock. Sceptre Malachite, available in 2ml sample too, and Avant Silk.

New to the brand? The 2ml samples are the sensible starting point. They cost very little and they let you test three or four directions on your own skin before committing to a full bottle, which matters more with this house than most because the range covers such different territory.

Not seeing what you wanted? The wider Maison Alhambra range rotates through stock regularly. If a bottle shows as unavailable it is worth checking back, or get in touch and we will tell you when it is due.

Every bottle here is genuine, sealed and batch-coded, backed by our authenticity guarantee and shipped free and tracked from our UK warehouse. Explore related styles in our Floral and Amber & Oriental collections.
