Cave Alheba is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Alheba opens with Labdanum, Incense, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Woody, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Cave's Alheba carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Alheba is a divisive beast: some hail it as a magnetic masterpiece with exceptional intensity, others find its patchouli too harsh and synthetic. If you can handle a peppery Baccarat Rouge 540 with serious longevity, it's a bargain for a big bottle.

Given its exceptional intensity and sillage, Alheba is best reserved for occasions where it can truly shine without overpowering.

About

Opens with an intriguing blast of warm, balsamic resins and smoky incense, setting a deeply atmospheric tone. This rich start mellows into a heart of creamy clean lavender and soft cashmere wood, with a persistent musky hum. The base anchors the composition with earthy patchouli, deep woody notes, and the marine-like whisper of ambergris, creating a complex and ever-evolving scent that's both magnetic and comforting. A bold amber and woody core rounds it all out.
