Victoria Flower Rosa Lilium

This is a first impression review on this Victoria Flower Flanker I just got for my wife. To be clear we own both Victoria Flower (which I wear at times) and the Orchid Edition (which is for her only). Those 2 were something like 14 $ a pop and Rosa Lilium was 23$. I got this because the 2 others are great and I'm sure this one will not disappoint....in the future Having over 20 of these Alhambra clones I now understand that letting air in the bottle starts the transesterification that makes these messy clones crazy good perfumes with more oil than you get from the big brands that cost a leg. They mix alcohol into oils and ship them out un matured (except the pride line apparently). When you shoot them they are raw and the molecules are fighting eachother until you let them harmonize anywhere between 3 to 12 months depending on the blends. I shot some in the box and am letting it mature but this is potent. I can smell it when I enter the bathroom and this is a process I do with all my Alhambras. This is a scent that definitely carries. This is going to be a great scent. It has a greasy Fatty undertone right now but to describe it in this state ...It's got a coconut vibe that's controlled with a green lily stalk note like if you were cutting flowers stems. The jasmine heart that blends with the mango . Then the mango is a sweet ripe mango. not fruity or tart but like very ripe mango. It's got a thickness that clouds around you from the benzoin base. That creates that radiant trail as you enter the room. It's just imbalanced right now but still a great scent. I had to wait almost a year for Alhambra Hercules to be a crazy experience. I love maison Alhambra's products . I can get awesome scents for 20$ It promises something incredible in the future. It will balance out and that thick lactonic greasy note will blend into a nice soft sweet coconut tinged treat. A great summer scent for sure . It's got notes that remind me of something I can't put a finger on. If you review it raw it will just be a mess like mine is right now. Give it time. Live with your scents.

I just got this in the mail and I am blown away by how great this smells and how closely it smells like the real thing!! Now, I don't own the Tiger Lily flanker, but I do own and love the original Flowerbomb and I could definitely recognize it throughout wearing this today. The opening is sweet, mango-y goodness with white florals behind it. As it settled on my skin, I could smell the coconut more, but the mango and flowers are definitely the most pronounced. The opening smells very similar to Yara Tous but in a lighter, less punch-you-in-the-face way if that makes sense. Once a few hours had passed, I started to smell the patchouli scent that the OG is famous for peaking through (even though its not a listed note). I originally applied this on the inside of my elbows around 5-6pm this evening and it is now 11:30pm and the scent is PURE OG Flowerbomb! I even compared the scent to my actual bottle of FB and was pleasantly surprised at how closely they resemble each other. Projection is moderate for about 4 hours and close to the skin from then on, but this perfume is straight out of the box so I imagine that will improve over time. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this perfume that's a fruiter and more tropical version of FB, and it smells heavenly! Once again, I'm not sure what FB Tiger Lily specifically smells like, but this perfume definitely retains that undeniable V&R floral/patchouli DNA with a sweeter, more youthful twist. I LOVE <3

This is a gem, honestly. I've purchased 4 MA scents and 3⁄4 of them were quite disappointing But this one? She's great Let me be clear, I've never smelled the OG So I'm looking at it as its own scent So, She smells like the juiciest mango, blended with the creamiest coconut and smallest hint of bergamot She has also some balsamic and vanillic undertones which i assume comes from the benzoin, it's more like a muted, warm vanillic scent to my nose, but it compliments the coconut and the mango fairly well I personally don't get much florals, maybe a tad bit powdery-ness but all and all, the manho and the coconut are very much the dominant notes, but this is not a gourmand, it's reminiscent of those scents in a very perfumy way She very much doesn't smell edible. She's flirty, joyful and light. She literally smells like the sweetest young lady you'll ever meet. Someone who mostly wears white and pink, and has ribbon bows on her ponytail. Weird imagery, i know. But trust me, she's literally giving that. She's sweet, fruity, lactonic and tropical. Perfect for summer and spring, i personally see it as a day time wear.

At first I couldn't really smell anything but I am trying this again after a couple days and I can smell the creamy coconut and sweet fruit notes now. It's not bad but it's still pretty light. I'd say this is going to be a skin scent and it's worth the price. It's pretty. At the 6hr mark my skin smells like soft vanilla. LINGERS ON CLOTHING, SPRAYED A HOODIE AT BED TIME IT STILL SMELLS LIKE ROSA LILIUM IN THE MORNING o.o Hey, I just put this on again and it's really reminding me of a bag of gummy bears. I love this one now.

Oh, what have I just found?😍 Another Maison Alhambra 💎 I haven't tried the OG V&R tigerlily, but I don't care, this is a cute tropical flower scent☺️ It reminds me of Mancera Coco Vanille, with a hint of tigerlily. Mancera is more heavily creamy and tropical, but they resonate. Upon spraying it's quite vinegar-ish, I was unpleasantly surprised for the first 2 minutes. But it goes away fast, and it's becoming a creamy, bit sunscreeny flower bouquet. Those who are more sensitive for coconut might get more out of it, and less from the flowers. Since I'm a coconut-lover🥥, there's no amount that I would consider too much, so for me it's more on the flowery side, but I'm sure it also depends on skin chemistry. Longevity is not crazy, I consider it moderate, it projects also moderate for 2-3 hours. And it's 15 Euros, no way! If you were a fan on Mancera Coco Vanille, and you want to get a similar, but less heavy tropical flower scent with a different flower archetype, go for it!
