An unusual pairing opens Philos Centro Unisex Fragrance from Maison Alhambra, hyacinth and pineapple combining for a green, tropical floral top unlike a standard citrus lead.

Warm and immediately sweet, Sceptre Oceana Cologne from Maison Alhambra opens on bourbon vanilla alone, nothing else competing at the top.
