Maison Alhambra

Jorge di Profondo

EDP2022

“Profondo's deep-water cool, for boat days and long lunches by the sea.”

Jorge di Profondo
aromatic
marine
citrus

Maison Alhambra's 2022 Jorge di Profondo is widely positioned as an alternative to Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Giò Profondo (2020): sea notes open over rosemary and cypress, settling on a mineral base. Aromatic and marine accords lead, with citrus and fresh spice. A companion to the house's 2022 Jorge di Profumo. A summer daytime scent, light and close-wearing.
