Our take

Alba opens with a noticeable synthetic edge that sits on the fruit. The peach and black currant feel polished and a little sharp rather than fresh from the fruit bowl. This artificial gloss does not ruin the fragrance, but it keeps the opening from feeling natural. The fruit is sweet and bright, yet it lacks depth. Some wearers will find that plastic quality pleasant and modern, while others will feel it never fully settles. It is a clear limitation that defines the first impression and shapes how the rest of the composition is received once the initial spray begins to calm.

The heart brings jasmine sambac and rose forward, adding a white floral layer that feels soft and slightly powdery. Sandalwood and white musk in the base give the blend a woody, musky finish that grounds the earlier sweetness. Warm spicy accents run through the drydown, giving the scent a gentle heat that suits a sunlit room or a bright afternoon street. The overall character stays clean and feminine without becoming heavy. It works best for someone who enjoys a fruity floral that stays close to familiar territory. The composition closes on its white musk accord.
