DARK AOUD| Eau De Parfum 80ml | By Maison Alhambra

Came on time and well packaged. This smells 90% like tom ford oud wood although it lasts alittle longer and better sillage. The opening is alittle loud where as tom ford has a smoother and more rounded opening. However, on the dry down no one can tell this apart from the original. With fragrance prices today being extorniate in this day and age this is perfect price. Tom ford is around £200 and this £20 so no brainer. This is the future now with companies producing the same fragrance for fraction of the price and I'm all for it.When i use to start wearing fragrances a 100ml use to cost around £40 but had great longevity and sillage. Today you spend £200 and it is watered down and money wasted. In that amount you can buy several alternatives.Overall if you looking for a tom ford oud wood replacement this is the best you will find for the price. Excellent fragrance.

Context: This was bought for £23 in October 2023. I can see the price has now increased to £44 in February 2024. I will address this later in my review.The scent opens synthetically for maybe 5 minutes, which is slightly unpleasant to me. Although after 10 minutes, this mess of a scent cleans itself up and becomes more rounded. At this point, it smells reasonable, considering the price (£23), but this is not a "beast" nor does it really compare to its rival Tom Ford Oud Wood. It has its similarities, and comes close at some points, but if you're looking for a direct "clone" this is not it. However, to the untrained nose, you might get away with it. Try going to a boutique to sample some luxury Oud Woods and you will see why this is the case.The projection and silage is okay, maybe 30 minutes of projection and the silage is meh for 1 hour, then starts to become a skin scent.Now they have almost doubled the price, this makes it far more difficult to justify. The new price range opens the doors to many other fragrances, which generally smell less synthetic. A result of this price increase, I have reduced a star for its scent & value for money.Edit: after reading this review a few weeks later, I feel I was harsh, and probably too pro-Tom-Ford, especially considering this is competing against a fragrance that is literally several times more expensive. I must say it is pretty damn good when considering the price relative to competition. Although, now I feel any similar competitor would probably be better value than Tom Ford’s Oud Wood.Because of this, I have bumped it up to 4*.

The perfume is amazing and price unbelievable, it is mega long lasting also quality it smells 95% like tom ford and on dry down is is the same 100%.Recommend it 100%I hope delivery would be quicker and by amazon, first time was delivered with amazon and second still waiting for some it as is royal mail and it take a week up to three like if it comes out of country..Looking forward to get more.

Perfume smell is good but don’t last longer

Bought it for my son and he loves it lasts more than 48hrs

Great fragrance better than expected, thanks.

To start off I would like to say I looovveee what they've done with the packing - it feels very prestige. It gives off an expensive and luxurious dubai feel. Then when you go to spray it, it starts off very strong but then it settles into your skin very well. To describe the smell of the oud i would say that it has a strong hint of cinnamon even though it does not contain it and the best part about it is that it lasts for a very long time. Overall I would 100% recommend it especially for the price it is.

The smell of this aftershave is beautiful. But the scent only lasts tops 30 minutes it’s pointless. Even lynx spray lasts longer than this. I would say save your money the price point is really high for what is a poor product. I did read the other reviews which a lot stated the longevity which I wish I listened too. You will be disappointed with this purchase save your money!!
