Sceptre Malachite

Sceptre Malachite from Maison Alhambra, released in 2022 and worn by anyone, is described by wearers as spicy, woody and citrus in equal measure, with gourmand, floral and aromatic facets that about half of people notice. It is a fresh spicy scent with a sweeter underside.

The opening is bright and slightly tart: green tangerine and bergamot give a zesty citrus lift and blackcurrant a sharp, fruity edge. The heart is busier, with pink pepper for a rosy warmth, lavender for a clean aromatic note and jasmine for a soft floral touch, alongside further aromatic and spicy notes that keep it lively. The base settles into amber and musk for warmth and smoothness, with woodsy notes and vetiver adding a dry, earthy finish.

Just over half of wearers report it as long lasting and about a third call it moderate. Sillage is moderate for most and strong for a quarter. It is voted for summer and spring and worn mostly in the daytime, which points to a warm-weather scent for work and everyday use.
