Maison Alhambra
The Artist No.1
The Artist No.1 follows Portrait of a Lady's rose, berries and clove direction. Incense and patchouli connect the darker later stages, with sandalwood adding softness to the alternative's finish. The similar outline doesn't establish the same balance of rose and earthy woods throughout wear.
