Overview
Rich, floral, and dramatically sophisticated, Philos Opus Noir by Maison Alhambra is a woody-floral fragrance that blends juicy fruits, Turkish rose, exotic ylang-ylang, warm leather, spicy nutmeg, amber, creamy vanilla, and deep woods.
It opens with fruits and Turkish rose, creating a sweet yet elegant introduction. The fruity accord adds brightness and richness while Turkish rose gives the opening a luxurious floral character.
As it develops, ylang-ylang, leather, nutmeg, and amber become more noticeable. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy floral quality while leather gives the fragrance depth and sophistication. Nutmeg brings warm spice, and amber adds richness to the heart.
