Launched in 2008 by Giorgio Armani, Oranger Alhambra is a fragrance that embodies the essence of an Italian garden. Created by perfumer Philippe Marvedo, it opens with a vibrant burst of citrus notes like petitgrain and bitter orange, combined with the freshness of lemon and bergamot. These top notes give way to a heart of jasmine and marjoram, while the base features woody accords of oakmoss and patchouli, grounding the composition in earthy warmth.

The story behind the bottle.
The scent of an orange grove at midday, where sunlight filters through the leaves and the air is filled with a blend of citrus and herbaceous notes.
