Maison Alhambra 2023 EDP
Encode Blue
Maison Alhambra Encode Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Encode Blue opens with Fruity Notes, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Leather, and Patchouli. Maison Alhambra's Encode Blue carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.
This one's a bit of a mixed bag. Some reckon it's a decent, fresh blue scent for the price, others find it a generic shower gel let-down with poor performance. Don't expect miracles, but it might do for gym or casual sprints.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, aquatic nature makes it perfect for casual wear and sport. The general consensus on moderate performance means it's suitable for office wear without being overpowering, but it lacks the depth for formal events or a romantic date.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

- Bergamot
The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
