Victoria Flower

Victoria Flower by Maison Alhambra, released in 2022 for women, is a floral fragrance by every account, and a minority of wearers also find it sweet, green, woody, musky and citrusy in roughly equal measure. It is a broad, soft bouquet rather than a single-flower scent.

Bergamot gives a brief, bright opening, and tea adds a dry, slightly green, tannic freshness that runs beneath the flowers. The heart is full: rose and jasmine provide the classic core, osmanthus adds an apricot-like, slightly leathery sweetness, freesia a fresh, peppery lightness, orchid a soft, powdery creaminess and African orange flower and orange blossom a honeyed white-flower brightness. The base of vanilla, patchouli and musk is gentle, the vanilla sweetening, the patchouli adding earth and the musk a soft, skin-like finish.

A soft, mixed floral with tea and musk suits spring and daytime wear, and it should appeal to anyone who wants an easy, pretty bouquet without strong sweetness or heaviness.
