Maison Alhambra Anarch is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Anarch opens with Bergamot, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Grass, settles into a heart of Pear Blossom, Rose, Violet Leaf, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Cashmeran, Ebony, Sugar Cane, and Amber. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring and summer. Maison Alhambra's Anarch carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Cut grass and bergamot give it a green, airy start, but it leans sweeter than it looks, with coconut, vanilla and cashmere wood in the base. A bright, clean floral with long wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Anarch opens green and airy, with bergamot and cut grass brightening the first minutes while jasmine and ylang-ylang bring a heady, sweet floral lift. The heart is a full bouquet: rose, lily, heliotrope and violet leaf, softened by peach and pear blossom. It is the soft, fruity-floral centre of the scent, and it stays light and clean. The base goes creamy. Coconut, vanilla and tonka bean bring the warmth, sugar cane adds sweetness, and ebony, cashmere wood and amber give it a smooth, polished finish. Projection and longevity are moderate, so it fills a small space comfortably without taking it over. Best for warm days and light evenings. If sweet coconut under white flowers is not your thing, try it on skin first.
