Maison Alhambra Bright Peach Eau De Parfum 2.7 Oz (2.7 Oz)

This fragrance is not going to smell just right when you first open it. The reason is that fine fragrance houses have the luxury of allowing their perfumes to macerate for a month or so before sending them out into the world. Dupes are usually bottled and sent out as soon as they’re packaged. The reason perfumes contain alcohol is that alcohol is a solvent. It breaks down fragrance oils into smaller molecules so that they can combine with all the other oils. Before a fragrance matures from this process, it’s going to smell rough and disconnected. You can pick up the individual notes, but they’re not playing well together. This was the case with this dupe, and every other dupe I’ve ever purchased. I simply sprayed out 15 or so squirts to give a little head room for air that a fragrance needs to mature, and then I kept it in a dark and cool place for a few weeks. I even will give the bottle a shake a few times during this process. Eventually the perfume mellows out into this incredibly blended and beautiful medley that very closely matches the original. This Bright Peach is even better than the original because it has much better staying power, and it projects better than TF’s Bitter Peach. It also layers really nicely with Bath and Body Works’ Peach Bellini body wash and lotion. So buy this incredible dupe, and try out my tips before wearing it out. I’m wearing it right now, and have gotten so many nice compliments. Cheers!

I have had my nose on TF bitter peach before, but as a man, I couldn’t justify spending the money on something I’d maybe reach for once in a very blue moon. This clone sort of bridged the gap for me. This review is told from the perspective of a late 20’s male just FYI. Performance: After initially applying this with 3 sprays (under both ears, once on back of neck), I was kind of blown away. This scent is very powerful, and not as “soft” as the TF’s BP. You definitely will get a solid projection over an arms length, but I feel it was just a bit too much. The scent is extremely clawing, and the juice will literally stick to you. Unlike the real thing, the performance on this is unreal. I was getting about 7-8 hours of performance out of this, with the first 2 hours having major projection. It would not leave my skin, even as the sillage died down, late into the evening. I would never spray this more than maybe once on skin, once under my undershirt. This stuff is eternal on clothing. I didn’t go noseblind to this at all, and found myself getting tired of it by the end of wear, but that’s subjective. The Scent: Perfectly unisex for those who clearly don’t mind the scent of peach. There is nothing overly “fresh” or too “girly” about this, the peach is heavy and moody. This has a very fruity musk to it that will hang about you and gently nudge at you. Very slightly boozy, with a chashmeran/ tonka bean undertone that stands out to me. Overall, I would say Tom Fords real deal has a bit more of a clean “pop” to its powdery characteristics, but it is extremely close. I know the price of this has increased and fluctuated over time, but if you can get this for the $30 range, I think it could be worth it. Overall, while it wasn’t really for me, I could definitely see a unique situation where this could be a great scent for a great price. Performance is unreal, and if you like the scent, all the better. I ended up giving it to my fiancée, and I find it a bit more fitting on her. I love a good unisex fragrance, and thank Lattafa and MA for giving me the ability to experiment a bit at this price point! P.s. the box/ bottle (yes it’s clearly “inspired”) is really awesome, especially lined up with others in the series

I didn’t like it at first at all. There is just something in the background that is not appealing. Something is sharp in the background that makes me not reach for it. After maceration it is a bit more mellow and lasts longer. Probably by next spring/summer it will be a much more balanced and beautiful fragrance. Great value for money the bottle is nice and heavy quality. No leaking. Over all it is not my favorite but it is nice. It’s very peach forward. I can see this being a wonderful fragrance for a young girl. If purchasing as a gift get it several months before needed, spray several times and put it away. Bring it out and it will be perfect.

This display of perfume came like wow but I wasn't happy to smell what was in this well made bottle. So I thought just give it a few months but still sunk. No reason for me to tell a lie about this, when I bought it with my money ! Please don't buy it !!!

This is an exoctic and alluring scent. I have gotten so many compliments. I love the scent and hooked. It's Long lasting and a fresh smell that is not overly intense. Get it and thank me later

Its an aquired smell very peachy and I usually mix with a spicier cologne

I bought Maison Alhambra Coral Blush as a blind buy, and it exceeded all my expectations. The fragrance opens with a beautiful, bright burst of fresh florals and subtle fruity notes that instantly lift your mood. As it settles, it transforms into a creamy, warm, and sophisticated scent that smells incredibly luxurious.

Originally got this because I smelled it on someone at a grocery store, was so intoxicating I had to ask where they got it, and was surprised to see it so affordable and accessible. It develops very warm and soft, lasts me all day with a few sprits. It also feels pretty premium and the bottle lasts me a long time, despite the price.
