Maison Alhambra Salvo Elixir (Eau de Parfum, 2022): Spiced tobacco and pineapple over dark patchouli and warm vanilla amber

A rich spicy woody amber that opens bold and aromatic, then settles into a smooth, resinous warmth. Compared with Salvo and Salvo Intense, Elixir is the darkest and most evening-leaning.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Black Pepper, Tobacco, Pineapple

What It Smells Like

It starts with a peppery bite and a dry tobacco tone, lifted by a surprising sweet fruit flash from pineapple. The middle turns darker and denser as patchouli and coffee add depth, while iris smooths the edges with a clean, slightly powdery feel. In the dry down, amber and vanilla warm everything up, with benzoin and labdanum adding a resin glow and a polished woody finish.

Who Is It For

Marketed for men, but wearable for anyone who likes bold spicy amber scents. Best for people who want a strong presence and a warm, darker profile.

When to Wear

Ideal for fall and winter, especially evenings and night outings.
