I got Tabac yesterday I think I'm liking it so far, but it's definitely far from the real thing, however for the price I can't complain. The tabaco feels synthetic and smokier than in the Dior. Tabac is sweeter and more cloying, and also dries down to a more generic oriental with tobacco and gourmand notes. I think it's more true to Tobacolor when it's applied in clothes. It enhances the smoke so it differs in that way, but it tones down the sweetness and generic dry down, you can perceive more individual notes and therefore can more easily identify it as a Tobacolor clone. Again, seems like I'm complaining but for the $30 I paid I couldn't be happier. Ok I could, if it was closer lol, but I am indeed really happy with the deal. I also have the Ombre Nomade clone. I haven't smelled the LV so I can't compare, all I can say is that I confirmed that maceration works, I didn't before just because I hadn't had a fragrance change within the course of a couple months, but this has. From one day to another I started heavily picking up the raspberries with the sweetness from the resins, before it was just smoke, leather and synthetic oud. Performance is average and the deeep dry down is still a chemical mess. Talking about the deep dry down, I should mention that after several hours wearing Tabac I get a patchouli nuance because I'm left with a dirty chocolate vibe but not in a good way, and one that I've only experienced when wearing other heavy patchouli fragrances. Need further testing with both fragrances. Some quick last thoughts about other Maison Alhambra fragrances I've tried but not bought. - Megara (Megamare): I loved it, fundamentally a musky fragrance with an aquatic top and a very slight "egg" feel in the mid and dry down, but enjoyable. It removes the annoying Algae note from Megamare so I actually prefer the clone. - Bright Peach (Bitter Peach): I have a big decant of this. Haven't smelled the Tom Ford. This is a sweet photorealistic synthetic peach (think the type that comes in cans) that's incredibly long lasting and projecting. Bit annoying in the summer, excellent in winter. Unfortunately it's not my thing. This is the only one that's worth mentioning from the Tom Ford clones because it's the only one I've tried as a decant and or tried the original fragrance. I've tried almost all the other clones but only briefly and I also wasn't experienced with the real thing so I can't comment about anything. - Layden (Layton): enjoyable but doesn't last. If it doesn't last I can't really compare it to the Pdm. Seems to be a general complaint and probably the reason why this isn't more popular. - The Artist N1 (Portrait of a Lady): I had the same problem I had with the FM, I almost can't smell it at all after a few minutes. I compared both at the same time.From whatever I could smell, the MA was definitely less complex, just meh. - The Artist N2 (Promise): I also compared the two at the same time. Nose blindness seems to be a problem for me that comes from the choice of raw materials used by Frederic Malle across his entire range, because I also couldn't smell Promise. I could however smell N2, too much actually. It's SO strong and heavy on notes that I don't particularly enjoy that I couldn't tolerate it more than a couple hours and ended up being a scrubber. I tested it at a local store where a lot of people were smelling it, and it turned out to be a big love it or hate it fragrance. Too sweet, too fruity, too animalic, too damn strong. - The Tux: I haven't smelled the YSL and only remember Moustache from several months ago. I can just say that it's enjoyable, feels more elegant than Moustache, elegant in general actually, and smells more expensive than what it is. Longevity was about 4 hours which is why I kind of dismissed it. This week I want to try other clones of the Dior Prive line, Grise (Dior Gris) and Purple Woods (Purple Oud). I've also tried to hunt down MA Infini Rose (Atomic Rose) without success.
Glad to see someone else likes Kismet Angel as much as I do. And Fire Your Desire is another excellent fragrance in that style. FYI, Sceptre is pronounced "SEP-TER."
I can't believe you didn't include The Tux...it's such an exact clone of YSL Tuxedo, you literally can't tell the 2 apart, and it practically makes Mustache, and the original Tuxedo obsolete!!!
Perseus and Zaffiro Cradted oud are pure magic. Absolutely amazing. The performance is great, projection is awesome. I still need to get Tabac. The Neroli is also great but very unique. Projection is beast mode for days. The amber and leather I feel is okay. Not as good as the others.
i wish i had the money to order a few alhambra tom ford dupes, i LOVE tom ford's private blend, inshaAllah ill order when i get some money, thank you so much for this informative video 🥰
I will be getting Theoreme in a few weeks. I have never smelled Tygre or Sceptre.. But I will let you know if it smells good and how the Performance is.
I thought that would have been #1.. But I am glad his number 1 is something that is quite unknown (unknown for me) to North America.. Unfortunately, Sceptre is not available (yet) on Canadian Discounters.
I use to see ur videos 4 years back u changed a lot. I almost forgot your channel. Somehow i saw ur name mentioned somewhere it was familiar but i dint knwe it was u. Nice to be back on this channel
Where can I purchase The Tux here in the United States??? Please help!!!!!😢😢 BTW I'm absolutely willing to make a trade. Maybe Issey Miyake Noir Ambre Unsealed!!!! Let me know!!
I got the tobacco touch couple of days ago…it started quite rough with that dry tobacco smell coming strong as the top notes…but with time it’s getting better…i am getting the other spices, vanilla and the tobacco mix is now coming way better at the dry down..i think it just needs some time to settle….I would suggest ppl to check out Zara’s tobacco line esp the Warm black original ( dark brown bottle with the gradient fading below)..it’s more approachable and has a beautiful Red cherry tobacco vanilla with autumn spices mix..an absolute underrated gem… I can’t find tux , spectre, kismet angel, khamrah in BD…Can you suggest where I can get those
To me, "The Tux" + " Porto Neroli" + "Jean Löwe Immortal / Ombre" are the most accurate clones ever made. You cannot go wrong with my Alhambra top list.
If your budget allows, reviewing Paris Corner collections from Dubai or if anyone else has any recommendations in unisex and what is sillage and longevity are like
Paris corner scents are good in terms of the scents themselves, they dupe the scents they copy almost to a T. Problem is projection and longevity. Crap. Only a few scents have sub-descent longevity and for this reason I keep off.
It is good but it is subtle and doesn’t project a lot, which it is quite opposite from what Tygar is known for. However that makes it more wearable for office or indoor settings because it is not loud… I let mine macerated for over a month and never noticed any improvement
I just got this. It smells like a much more spicy, and potent, Mysterious Tobacco. So I'm wondering if in fact it's the best clone of Mancera's Red Tobacco out there?
I am kicking myself for not getting a backup of Neroli Portifino before the hype and DC. It was selling for $25 CAD which is like $10 USD.. lol. now they are over-priced (PLEASE DO NOT OVER PAY on the Reseller Market). I am hoping and would be business wise for Lattafa/Alhmabra to just rebottle these Tom Fords into something less Tom Ford and hopefully keep the same quality juice.

Rose petal is the best in Tom Ford line. Try it. You will fall in love with it.
Glad to see someone else likes Kismet Angel as much as I do. And Fire Your Desire is another excellent fragrance in that style.
FYI, Sceptre is pronounced "SEP-TER."
Porto neroli I just got this week its nicceee especially for picnic vibes and outdoor settings
Porto Neroli is one of my favourite from MAISON ALHAMBRA.
fantastic
You need to get your hands on maison Alhambra exlusive tabac cause it’s 🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe you didn't include The Tux...it's such an exact clone of YSL Tuxedo, you literally can't tell the 2 apart, and it practically makes Mustache, and the original Tuxedo obsolete!!!
You're absolutely right.
This is an incomplete review if you don't include one of the best Maison AlHambra The Tux , a dupe of YSL TUXEDO.
Tuxedo sucks
He already said his personal choice..its possibe he doesn't like the tux
He probably doesn't like the tux. Its impossible for a person to like every Fragrance
Yes it's his personal choice.. he never went nor created any hype.
Purely Genuine Reviewer unlike Gent Scents ...
Perseus and Zaffiro Cradted oud are pure magic. Absolutely amazing. The performance is great, projection is awesome. I still need to get Tabac. The Neroli is also great but very unique. Projection is beast mode for days.
The amber and leather I feel is okay. Not as good as the others.
Thanks for the video, can you make top 10 Rasasi?
Sceptre or Al Qiam which lasts longer and which is closest to the original?
I tried only porto neroli, amber and leather and Fortnight...and i love them all))
Could you please tell me Sceptre compare with Lattafa Silver , which one is best tygar clone, Thanks
Hi Joy , Please try "Toro" ASAP😅
I have many clones from Alhambra but the LV ombre and the Tux are the best. Ombre lasts more than 2 weeks on my Tshirt!!!
Where would you put dark door intense
Good work Sir...will get some of these...
If you have not checked out Hercules, I believe it would be worth it. To me a very good dupe of Herod.
I like HERCULES MAISON ALHAMBRA so much. It smells fantastic on me.
Last 10+hours on skin and few days on clothing
Let it be slept on 🤣❤ So only you will know what a true gem it is.
Please guys less talk about Hercules that thing need to be protected that the only bottle I'm 100% sure to gatekeep 😂😂😂😂
Maison Alhambra are producing great fragrances. I have #10 out of your review.
Great work Joy!! Stay blessed 🙏
thanks brother always good review what is the best tygar clone
i wish i had the money to order a few alhambra tom ford dupes, i LOVE tom ford's private blend, inshaAllah ill order when i get some money, thank you so much for this informative video 🥰
maison alhambra signature no 3 50ml expensive here in Denmark only one place has it
Theoreme or sceptre?
I will be getting Theoreme in a few weeks. I have never smelled Tygre or Sceptre.. But I will let you know if it smells good and how the Performance is.
I'm also confused
Joy can you review please Maison Alhambra instant lucky? It's supposed to be a one million lucky clone
spicebomb at the top 🔥
Quick question. Fabulo Intense is not deserves top 15 or you havent tested yet?
Been waiting for this video to drop very helpful. Gonna get some from the line
Good one, love it.
Hi joy, the last perfume Scepter Amazonite Eau De Perfume, cannot be found online, suggest online website with international shipping please
Was hoping to see the tux on this list. Havent tried it yet but everyone hyping it up.
I thought that would have been #1.. But I am glad his number 1 is something that is quite unknown (unknown for me) to North America.. Unfortunately, Sceptre is not available (yet) on Canadian Discounters.
@@duMaurier15 afnan turathi blue it’s a good clone of tygar with good performance
I so wish that Maison Alhambra would do a Clone/Inspiration of Tom Ford's Amber Absolute 😭
I know they would do a good job on it.
I use to see ur videos 4 years back u changed a lot. I almost forgot your channel. Somehow i saw ur name mentioned somewhere it was familiar but i dint knwe it was u. Nice to be back on this channel
Great video. You should taste Maison Alhambra's "Yeah!" A great clone from Y (EDP) from Yves Saint Laurent. Greetings my friend.
Bro.. Pls do rv on pendora Harrier perfumed water n Enchantment blue intense. Tq
I love this brand I own over 15 bottles their amazing for the price
I like this recording without mic, the echo is gone and your voice is crystal clear
Where can I purchase The Tux here in the United States??? Please help!!!!!😢😢 BTW I'm absolutely willing to make a trade. Maybe Issey Miyake Noir Ambre Unsealed!!!! Let me know!!

I can’t find tux , spectre, kismet angel, khamrah in BD…Can you suggest where I can get those
which is a good clone of Terre d Hermes?
Rasasi fattan
@@fayadnazim fattan is only greenish. Definitely not close to terre d hermes
Toro I think is good bro
Sir what about Rose petals it's really very beautiful fragrance
No Tux 🤔🤷♂️ ?
Joy bhai.. Can you do a list for top 10 gourmand cheapies / clones?? :)
yes plz i also want love from pak
You have the whole list of Maison Alhambra in El Mono Perfumado Channel! Amazing!!!
Im about to buy a back up of bright peach
To me, "The Tux" + " Porto Neroli" + "Jean Löwe Immortal / Ombre" are the most accurate clones ever made. You cannot go wrong with my Alhambra top list.
Ordered ombre how close to original lv
😅
The clarity is better without the wireless mic, it gets boomy past a certain volume level. However the wired mic you hold in hand sounds good.

Man i am looking for that Mancera tobacco red clone from Paris corner but can’t find it in my country
What you think of Maison Alhambra Yeah!
Have you smelled a good clone for Filthy Rich Dubai - Signature I?
Now u talkin,,,I collect from that brand,,,Dubai Life is my favorite
I’ve never tried this tygar clone. It’s not better than Al qiam?
It is more expensive , but imo. Turathi Blue is the best Tygar clone out there . Others are fine , but Turathi is of better quality .
It is good but it is subtle and doesn’t project a lot, which it is quite opposite from what Tygar is known for. However that makes it more wearable for office or indoor settings because it is not loud… I let mine macerated for over a month and never noticed any improvement
maison alhambra best fresh is jean lowe immortal.. 🎉
L I K E 👍👍👍👍👍 💯 ❣ 💯 ❣ 💯 🥰 🥰🥰
I saw Sceptre on triple traders. They have all of them except Bronzite. Lattafa is rolling out a privee line and a new Fakhar.
Love this videos 💯
And also, would like to see your watch collection 😉
I was thinking The Tux was going to be your #1 Or even Kismet ( for men )
Bright peach should be in the list
Last one is pronounced SEP-ter. It's the short staff that a king holds.
You missed bright peach & fabulo intense 🤐
I've watched your RUclips content countless times, but I don't think there's been a review from Montale's house. I apologize if missed. thanks
Toro By Maison Alhambra🎉 🎊 clone of terre d'hermes❤
Maison Alhambra Exclusif Tabac should be in here.
I just got this. It smells like a much more spicy, and potent, Mysterious Tobacco. So I'm wondering if in fact it's the best clone of Mancera's Red Tobacco out there?
@@mattygroves21478 I think it's a clone of Mystery Tobacco by Carolina Herrera
Without Mic is better
Salvo 😂😂😂

Can still get them all in england, just got neroli for £25
You missing out , you definitely need to get the bright peach
👍👍👍👍
perseus isnt long lasting... 2 hrs max
Sceptre is pronounced SEP-TER
NO ETERNAL OUD??????????????????😂
Woody oud to me is like cow's manure. I'm happy to not have the original TF. I'm done with oud lol
