After seeing a review from Lupe Experience i bought a bottle. I am so glad,along with myrr imperiale and vetiver babylon, these 3 are an unbelievable trio. Opens like t hermes but not as bitter, much more freshness. Silage great in 1st hour and half to 2 then goes to skin scent. Really what u spray is what you are going to get. The lines hard to find. SAKS in our area has the line. Its the top orange fragrance,puts atelier in the back burner

The opening reminds me of Guerlain Homme Intense (2009), and they both are aromatic citrus technically.
The drydown is just like introducing a few camphor and more orange into Dior Eau Sauvage (1966). Trust me, this part is quite close to ES (esp. the formula before 2007), the same chypre except for some twists, thus gives me a illusion that if Armani wants to make his own version of Eau Sauvage. Even though he did once by releasing the dilettantish Armani Pour Homme (1984), but this time is different.
If you want to but can hardly find an earlier—at least the previous(2014)-previous(2011)-previous(2007)—formula of ES, choose this one in compromise.
Longevity: 4-5 hrs on skin, 8-10 hrs on clothes.Rating: 7.0/10.

It’s not sweet like Orange Sanguine, but rather a bitter dry orange peel with woody oak moss. Not what I was expecting, but I still like it alot!

seriously for a perfume thats so expensive? it was like spraying the most basic and old-fashioned cologne with lots of bitter citrus and oak-moss. after 20 mins i couldnt take it anymore and sprayed the versatile simple chanel allure edition blanche on top of it.
scent: 4/10

Bitter orange…petitgrain…Patchouli…Oakmoss…
Sound familiar??? Smells even more familiar. You guessed it folks. If you’ve ever smelled Hermes’ “Eau d’Orange Verte Concentre”, you’re essentially smelling that here. It has the same notes.
Opens up very authentic, “orange-y”. In the mid, you’ll start to grow a mustache, then by the drydown you’ll have chest hair coming out of your dress shirt while you sport a gold chain and aviators.
This is a mans orange. It becomes very bitter as the sweetness of the opening fades away. It’s definitely pleasant, and it suits any male 25 +.
I don’t really see this being appealing on a woman. But hey, who am I to judge?
This is basically modeled after the Eau d’Orange Verte. I applaud Armani, as they’ve somehow managed to make it more pleasant.
Good stuff, just very familiar.

The opening smells like fresh peeled blood oranges. I thought, who wants to smell like an orange? But after a half hour it comes some oud in it and then the whole composition smells like an expensive body cream. Not bad if you want to smell creamed the whole day. It makes very pretty masculine scent too.

I tried this last night, and it was love at first spray! Orangey, woody, warm, like a hot Summer night somewhere beautiful in the Med….. I loved it. For the first half hour. And then it started to smell like hairspray. I would not have been happy if I’d bought this. Longevity was pretty poor too. Such a shame! It opened with such promise!

This is a stunning product.Hope my review can help.I can tell I have tried a lot of parfum in my young life of 30 now. Also I worked in a sensory lab for a short time and my nose is mostly very sensitive to some smells and odors.
I bought it in Germany for 140€ after comparing it to Dior- Eau de Savage and Acqua Di Parma- Essenza di Cologna and many others.Those two are damn close to it.Try it yourself! Dior is more green and more intense in the nose, smells chemicaly and not that tender. Just not as good as Oranger Alhambra. Essenza by AdP is more spicy, made vor men and has a longer lasting I remember.Would give it place number 2.
Oranger Alhambra is more tender, more bitter Orange and Bergamotte, Oak moss in the drydown and super fine herbs that remember me of a soap you find in the Venetian Hotel Macau/China. Here comes the point. More soapy, clean and lighter then the other two. A bit more sour! Maybe more female but I still prefer this on a man.
I dunno whats the secret ingredient here but it puts this Scent miles in front of the others.Must be the Oak moss with some other herbs, like the italien Soap I had in the 5 star Macau Venetian Hotel.So similar!After leaving Macau 18 month ago now i smell on my Oranger Alhambra and can still feel the sun on my skin on Taipa Island. Really made for a summer evening on a nice beach or an italien Garden of Capri Island maybe. Sorry I am dreamin again.
Well.It has a soso longevity,ok. The other 2 do better but are maybe to aggressive to some female noses. The Bottle looks stunning! And the Dark Brown stone as lid is the eyecather in my flat.Next to another Prive.BRAVO Armani!
scent: 8,5/10
longevity: 5/10
sillage: 6/10

nothing special. just another citric perfume. Eau savage type. i wouldn’t recommend it for women. it’s more masculine fragrance. the price is too high for the simple smell. Armani Prive? so what? it must have been more interesting.

Reading from the ingredients, I know it straight away that I will love this perfume. The bottle design is such an elegant one. Chic as well. Typical Armani.A must try!

Armani Prive Oranger Alhambra is evocative of the walls of the Alhambra itself, in Spain-an incomparable garden that is a piece of paradise on earth. The influence of Islamic culture and its great architecture is fixed for perpetuity : the stone monuments, marble mosaics and canals channeling the waters of the Sierra.
in this fragrance I detect a glint of Lemon, then, Petitgrain (that adds a touch of sharpness, greenness and vitality). The heart notes are full-bodied, authentic and simple; Rosemary and Marjoram add an aromatic and natural facet when blended with Jasmine. Finally, base notes of Moss and Patchouli lend an occidental drydown to the fragrance which seems drenched by the Spanish Andalusian sun.
