Maison Alhambra Forbidden Love invites you on an immersive olfactory journey through contrasts—where innocence collides with desire. This alluring fragrance unveils a playful, candy-like exterior layered over a deep, indulgent core.
It opens with the rich, juicy allure of black cherry, drenched in cherry liqueur and subtly enhanced by the bitterness of almond, creating a bold yet refined first impression.
The heart reveals a vibrant medley of cherry syrup notes, both sweet and tart, evoking the richness of griotte maceration. This is beautifully balanced by the romantic intensity of Turkish rose and the intoxicating bloom of jasmine sambac, awakening the senses with floral elegance.
As the scent settles, the warmth of Balsam of Peru and roasted tonka bean emerges, offering a reinterpretation of a classic motif. The base is grounded in a sophisticated blend of sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar, leaving behind a velvety, dreamlike trail that captures the imagination.
