Maison Alhambra Galatea — front-facing product bottle

Maison Alhambra

Galatea

Inspired alternative

Galatea may appeal for Godolphin's saffron and leather, but its herbal opening highlights maté, cypress and thyme rather than fruit. Rose and iris soften the heart. Vanilla adds sweetness to the leather-and-amber finish, giving a different outline from Godolphin's cedar emphasis.
