Released in 2022, Exclusif Rose by Maison Alhambra has become a reference point for EDP fragrances in the rose, warm spicy, amber, vanilla, floral family.

How Exclusif Rose Smells: Notes & Development

Exclusif Rose opens with Turkish Rose, Pink Pepper and Bergamot — an assertive first impression that carries across a room.

What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Vanilla, Amber and Agarwood (Oud).
