Maison Alhambra
Avant Silk
Avant Silk brings citrus and myrrh into a saffron opening, where Queen of Silk highlights osmanthus. Tuberose connects the floral hearts, with cypriol and patchouli adding earthiness. Vanilla warms both finishes, though Avant Silk's listed cedar and amber suggest a different woody balance.
