Maison Alhambra Aquilo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Aquilo opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Cotton Flower, Lavender, and Seaweed, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Maison Alhambra's Aquilo carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A budget-friendly freshie that's a dead ringer for Bvlgari Aqva, but don't expect it to last. It's a fantastic scent for the price, but be prepared to respray if you want it to stick around. Some find it a bit too ethereal, but fans swear by its straightforward marine charm.

About

Aquilo plunges you into a brisk marine freshness, opening with a splash of zesty mandarin and orange. This bright citrus quickly gives way to a heart of clean cotton flower, interwoven with the unique, slightly salty nuance of seaweed, providing a distinctive aquatic character. The dry down settles into a subtle woody base, grounding the scent with hints of cedar, patchouli and clary sage, leaving a soft amber glow.
