Maison Alhambra Athena is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Athena opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Maison Alhambra's Athena carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This much-hyped dupe of Burberry Goddess is a creamy vanilla powerhouse with a bright citrus kick. Expect a sophisticated, mood-lifting scent that's often preferred over the original for its smoother profile and beast-mode performance after a bit of 'maceration'.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Athena opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and tangerine, sharpened by a hint of pink pepper. This zesty introduction mellows into a sumptuous white floral heart of lily of the valley, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The real star, however, is the rich, creamy vanilla base, intertwined with soft sandalwood and a whisper of earthy patchouli, creating a warm and enveloping dry down that lasts for ages.
