Here is a breakdown of the fragrance, which is the key characteristic of this body spray:
Fragrance Profile: It is an Aromatic Fougere fragrance. This scent is known for being fresh, spicy, and woody, with a bold and masculine character.
Scent Notes:
Top Notes: A fresh and spicy opening with Calabrian Bergamot and Black Pepper.
Middle Notes: A complex and aromatic heart with notes like Sichuan Pepper, Lavender, Pink Pepper, Vetiver, Patchouli, Geranium, and Elemi.
Base Notes: A warm and woody dry down with Ambroxan, Cedar, and Labdanum.
Scent Inspiration: Maison Alhambra Salvo is widely recognized in the fragrance community as a very close and high-quality "dupe" for Dior Sauvage. It aims to capture the same fresh, peppery, and ambroxan-heavy DNA of the designer fragrance at a fraction of the price.
Deodorant vs. Perfume: As a body spray deodorant, the fragrance concentration is lower than the Eau de Parfum (EDP) version. This means it's designed for all-day freshness and provides a lighter, more subtle scent. While its sillage and longevity will not be as strong as the perfume, it is a great way to layer the scent or for a quick, refreshing application throughout the day.
