Rose Origami

Rose Origami by Maison Alhambra, released in 2024, is a floral fragrance according to everyone who rates it, with about half also calling it spicy and woody. A quarter find it sweet, resinous or ambered. It is a rose set against coffee and incense.

Turkish rose, Bulgarian rose and rose form a full, rich floral centre, and ylang-ylang adds a softer, creamier floral sweetness. Coriander and cardamom give the opening a warm, aromatic spice, the cardamom slightly citrusy. Coffee brings a roasted, bitter depth that pushes the rose towards gourmand territory, and frankincense adds a resinous, smoky lift. Sandalwood gives the base a creamy, smooth wood and patchouli an earthy darkness.

Rose Origami is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. Rose with coffee, incense and spice suits autumn and winter and evening wear in particular, and it should appeal to people who like a rich, spiced rose with a little smoke rather than a fresh, dewy one.
