Maison Alhambra Fabulo Intense is an Eau de Parfum. Fabulo Intense opens with Lavender and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Orris, Vanilla, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Woody, Leather, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Maison Alhambra's Fabulo Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a spot-on, long-lasting dupe for a much pricier original, a bold, unique statement. Others call it headache-inducing, synthetic baby wipes or even shoe polish. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you like quirky, creamy-leathery scents, it might be your jam.

About

Fabulo Intense opens with an aromatic burst of lavender and clary sage, quickly joined by a curious bitter almond. The heart builds with creamy vanilla and powdery orris, slowly settling into a rich, complex base of prominent leathery notes, warm amber, and woody cashmeran, all smoothed out by sweet tonka bean. It's a journey from fresh herbal to deep, smooth indulgence.
