Maison Alhambra 2023 EDP

U £ Statement

Optus V

Name: Optus V Eau de Parfum
Brand: Maison Alhambra

Maison Alhambra Optus V is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Optus V opens with Iris and Rum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Oud, and Civet. Maison Alhambra's Optus V carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Alhambra clone is a sneaky charmer; a dirty floral that might fly under the radar but definitely leaves an impression. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, so be warned.

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.

While some find it a 'for me' scent, its animalic and strong floral accords make it better suited for evenings or intimate settings. It could be a bit much for a conservative office, but the powdery iris does lend a touch of elegance to formal events.

About

Opens with an intriguing, boozy rum note mingling with dusty orris, setting a sophisticated but slightly daring tone. Quickly, the heart of the fragrance blossoms with a rich bouquet of iris, rose, and jasmine, giving it a floral elegance. As it settles, a deep, animalic civet and earthy oud emerge, grounded by woody notes, adding a complex and 'dirty' allure that keeps things interesting. It's a powdery, musky experience with a touch of the wild.
