About Maison Alhambra Celeste EDP
Maison Alhambra is the house behind Celeste EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Price per bottle size

How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.
