Perseus

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

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.
