Precious Pink

Precious Pink is a 2022 release for women from Maison Alhambra, a soft almond gourmand with a green, tart edge. Everyone who describes it says sweet, about two-thirds also find it woody, and a third floral.

Rhubarb opens it with a sour, sappy greenness that is unusual for a sweet scent and keeps the first minutes bright. Almond and almond milk then take over as the centre, the almond nutty and marzipan-like, the milk softer and creamier, so the heart feels comforting rather than sugary. Narcissus adds the floral note, green and slightly hay-like, which pairs well with the rhubarb. The base is cedar and cashmeran, the cedar dry and clean, the cashmeran warm, musky and faintly woody, and together they stop the almond from turning into dessert.

Longevity and sillage have not yet been reported by wearers. The creamy almond suits cooler days and evenings, and the fragrance fits someone who likes sweetness kept quiet and skin-close.
