About Maison Alhambra Flaming Elixir EDP
Flaming Elixir EDP comes from Maison Alhambra. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Tom Ford Oud Wood and Maison Alhambra Infini Elixir. Base notes like vanilla and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Flaming Elixir through the year
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Other Maison Alhambra perfumes
The house has 75 perfumes here, led by Jean Lowe Immortal, Jean Lowe Immortel and Smoky Touch.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €30. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Montale Paris Honey Aoud and Tom Ford Oud Wood.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Montale Paris Honey Aoud and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan spread further.
When in the day to wear Flaming Elixir
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
