Freedom and sensuality embodied in an aromatic composition—that's Maitre De Blue by Alhambra. Designed for the modern man who values style and individuality, it captivates with its simultaneous citrus freshness and oriental depth. It suits those who combine a dynamic lifestyle with elegant restraint, always moving forward and never resting on their laurels. From the outset, notes of grapefruit and lemon invigorate the senses, enhanced by the freshness of mint, while pink pepper adds a subtle spiciness. Next, Iso E Super creates a unique aura, complemented by jasmine, ginger, and nutmeg. In the base, oriental nuances of patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense, and labdanum are vividly present, combined with cedar, white musk, and vetiver. This is a powerful and quite passionate fragrance—rich, dynamic, and stylish. Its nuances are appropriate for any situation and will highlight your allure wherever you are.
Top Notes open with fresh accents of mint, grapefruit, and lemon, with pink pepper adding a pleasant spiciness. This energetic opening impresses with its vitality.
Heart Notes resonate with the warmth and depth of Iso E Super, complemented by ginger and nutmeg, and accented with jasmine. This harmonious and sensual combination gives the heart of the composition richness and a more oriental character.
Base Notes feature a rich woody foundation, prominently showcasing cedar, patchouli, and sandalwood. Vetiver, white musk, labdanum, and frankincense impart a subtle mystique, creating an unforgettable elegant trail.
I gifted these perfumes to my husband because I believed that the Arab equivalent would be long-lasting and similar to the original. To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. The longevity lasted about an hour, until my husband reached his workplace, which is around 40 minutes away. There was no scent at all, not even a hint that he was using the perfume. I applied it to myself as well, thinking that men's perfumes would be noticeable on a woman, but nobody around me could detect it either. It was a complete disappointment.
A beautiful woody-citrus fragrance for all occasions, harmonious and comfortable, probably one of the best modern fragrances to date. Well done to the Arabs, I respect them for this. They have made an exact copy of Chanel Bleu de Chanel Parfum (specifically the perfume version, not the toilet water or eau de parfum). This version is sweeter than the EDP and just as fresh as the EDT, but deeper. It is a very good, high-quality perfume, not chemical-smelling.
