Maison Alhambra Brûlant Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Brûlant Oud opens with Cognac, Grapefruit, Cardamom, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Mastic, Patchouli, Geranium, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Animalic, Sandalwood, Skin Musk, and Incense. Maison Alhambra's Brûlant Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. You'll either love Brûlant Oud's complex, animalic floral or find it a bit too much at first. It's unique, with a rich, mature character that really rewards persistence.

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

Brûlant Oud kicks off with a boozy cognac hit, spiced up by a lively mix of cumin, saffron, nutmeg, and a zesty grapefruit. The heart reveals a surprising floral twist with geranium, balanced by the creamy earthiness of pistachio and patchouli, all wrapped in a distinct animalic warmth and balsamic resins. The drydown settles into a sensual base of sandalwood, dark incense, and alluring skin musk.
