— The opening is frankly fresh: lemon, bergamot, lavender and mint. One source adds pear, another pepper. It is the part of the fragrance that justifies the name — and unlike Glacier Gold, it lasts.
— The heart is spiced and herbaceous: cinnamon and clary sage. Clary sage smells of hay and tea, lightly bitter; it is the pillar of aromatic masculine fragrances.
— The base is soft: vanilla, amber and cedarwood.
A spring and summer fragrance, for daytime, masculine. Three sprays.

Victorioso is the house's aquatic woody, and the only true everyday fragrance in the Maison Alhambra selection.
— The opening is iodine-like: marine notes and bergamot. Marine notes in perfumery are a family of molecules that reproduce seaside air — the salt, not the fish.
— The heart is aromatic: bay leaf and jasmine. The bay leaf brings a very masculine green bitterness, that of a classic eau de toilette.
— The base is earthy and solid: patchouli, oakmoss, ambergris and guaiac wood. Guaiac is a smoky-vanillic wood from South America; the oakmoss gives that smell of woodland after rain.
A spring and summer fragrance, for daytime, for the office, distinctly masculine. Two to three sprays; it stays discreet.

Kismet for Men is a coffee-cocoa gourmand, and it starts without the slightest freshness.
— The opening is dry and spiced: nutmeg, oriental spices and precious woods. No citrus, no freshness — the fragrance starts straight away in the warm.
— The heart is the fragrance's subject: black coffee and cocoa, softened by sandalwood. The cocoa here is not sweet milk chocolate, it is the roasted bean — bitter and powdery. With the coffee, you get the smell of a roaster's counter; the creamy sandalwood keeps the whole thing from going dry.
— The base is soft and then earthy: vanilla, patchouli and vetiver. Vetiver is a root, woody and lightly smoky — it is what brings the gourmand back down and avoids the dessert effect.
An autumn and winter fragrance, for the evening, masculine and owned as such. Be careful not to confuse it with Kismet Magic, which is another fragrance in a rounder bottle. Two sprays.
The notes
Top — Nutmeg, oriental spices, precious woods
Heart — Coffee, cocoa, sandalwood
Base — Vanilla, patchouli, vetiver
