Alhambra House

The Jean Lowe line makes up a large share of the Maison Alhambra catalogue: several variants, from the woody-amber Noir to the summery Fraîche, in 30 and 100 ml. Around it, the references on this page cover tobacco, satin oud, amber leather and the floral Kismet scents.

The Jean Lowe line

• Jean Lowe Immortal — spicy amber, warm, the best seller of the line; also in 30 ml to try.
• Jean Lowe Noir — woody, amber, vanilla; the densest of the series, for evenings and winter.
• Jean Lowe Ombre — the same woody family, but darker and drier than Noir.
• Jean Lowe Fraîche — citrus and fresh notes, the summer version, office-friendly.
• Jean Lowe Vibe — fruity with date, fig and apricot, a favourite in Germany.

The other pillars of the house

Tobacco Touch works honeyed tobacco and vanilla, very recognisable. Baroque Satin Oud sets an oud softened by rose and saffron, the most oriental of the selection. Amber & Leather plays leather over an amber base, dry and assertive. Coral Blush is the brand's fruity peach scent. The Kismet family (Angel, Magic, For Women) stays lighter and easy to wear by day.

Concentrations and formats

Concentrated eaux de parfum: two sprays on the neck and wrists are enough, and the base lasts much longer on fabric than on skin. Formats range from 30 to 100 ml, so you can test a line before committing to the large bottle. Genuine bottles, sealed, sold by IBN AL QAYYIM, a retailer registered in France; shipping within the EU without customs, free from €49.
