Maison Alhambra Perseus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Perseus opens with Bergamot, Heliotrope, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Maison Alhambra's Perseus carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Perseus is a crowd-pleasing, creamy almond and vanilla bomb that punches well above its weight class. Some find its opening a bit rough around the edges or too 'play-doh' but the drydown wins most over, with many hailing it as a true dupe for a much pricier original.

Scent Profile

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.

Office Formal

Its strong vanilla and almond accords lean towards evening wear or cooler climates, making it a great choice for dates and formal events without being too heavy. While quite versatile, its richness might be a bit much for a strictly professional office setting or high-energy sport activities.

About

Perseus opens with a vibrant, fresh zing of bergamot, quickly interwoven with a hint of warm, subtle cumin and the soft, almond-like heliotrope. The heart unfolds into a comforting blend of sweet almond and creamy vanilla, accented by aromatic lavender and a touch of delicate jasmine. This mellows into a sophisticated base of smooth sandalwood and warm amber, creating a powdery, subtly spiced, sweet embrace.
