Maison Alhambra Optus VII is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Optus VII opens with Spicy, Pink Pepper, Thyme, and Tarragon, settles into a heart of Galbanum and Costus, and dries down to a base of Leather and Patchouli. Maison Alhambra's Optus VII carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is a gutsy, niche-style scent with a surprising refinement for the price. It's not a crowd-pleaser and some find it challenging, but for those who appreciate a bold, mysterious leather, it's a real gem.

About

Opens with an immediate hit of sharp pink pepper and potent tarragon, quickly followed by the green, slightly bitter kick of galbanum and costus. This develops into a rich, complex leather backbone, grounded by earthy patchouli. It’s an aromatic, spicy journey, dark and full of character, with a lingering smoky depth.
