Karat by Maison Alhambra Perfume for Men and Women

Karat is a precious and luminous unisex Eau de Parfum that draws its name from the measure of gold's purity — a standard of excellence, value, and timeless beauty. This fragrance is crafted with the same philosophy: pure, refined, and of the highest quality. Like gold itself, Karat is warm, radiant, and enduringly beautiful — a fragrance that appreciates in value with every wear. It opens with a radiant warmth, deepens into a rich and complex oriental heart, and settles into a long-lasting base of golden depth and sensuality. A fragrance as precious as the metal it honours.

Who It Is For

Karat is crafted for the discerning, refined individual who appreciates quality, warmth, and timeless elegance. It suits both men and women who gravitate toward warm oriental compositions that are rich, versatile, and deeply memorable. Perfect for formal occasions, evening wear, business settings, and all seasons, it also serves beautifully as a signature scent for those who wish to carry the warmth and radiance of gold wherever they go. Ideal for all skin types.

Fragrance Pyramid

Top Notes

The opening is warm, radiant, and immediately captivating — a luminous accord of bergamot, saffron, and warm spice that announces the fragrance with golden radiance and oriental authority. The top notes are rich and inviting, drawing you in from the very first spray with a sense of precious, golden warmth.

Heart Notes

At the heart, the fragrance reveals its golden soul. A rich accord of rose, amber, and jasmine unfolds with extraordinary warmth and complexity, creating an oriental heart that is both classic and deeply personal. The heart is where Karat truly shines — warm, radiant, and timelessly beautiful.

Base Notes

The dry-down is warm, deep, and enduringly precious. Oud, sandalwood, musk, and vanilla settle into the skin, creating a long-lasting sillage of golden warmth and oriental depth. The base is the gold standard — rich, warm, and impossible to forget.

How to Wear

Apply Karat to pulse points — the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the inner elbows — where body heat will amplify and project the fragrance. Do not rub the wrists together after application, as this breaks down the top notes and diminishes the opening character. Apply to moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity. Two to three sprays are sufficient for a full day of warm, radiant wear.

Maceration Tip

If this is a freshly purchased bottle, allow it to rest for 24 to 48 hours before first use. This brief settling period allows the fragrance compounds to fully integrate, resulting in a more rounded and balanced scent profile from the very first spray.
