Maison Alhambra Purple Wood is an Eau de Parfum. Purple Wood opens with Orange, settles into a heart of Pink Pepper and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Oud. Maison Alhambra's Purple Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

This is a seriously woody scent, so realistic you'll feel like you've just left a carpenter's workshop. A genuine clone of the much pricier Purple Oud, offering fantastic value. Don't let the community score fool you; it's a hidden gem for oud lovers.

About

Purple Wood opens with a bright splash of orange, swiftly ushering in a nuanced heart of warm saffron and a gentle kick of pink pepper. The journey quickly deepens into a dominant, bone-dry oud, reminiscent of fresh-cut timber and antique floorboards. This isn't your typical heavy, animalic oud; it’s an authentic, almost metallic sawdust aroma, grounded yet intricate, with a lingering, faint sweetness.
