How close do the Maison Alhambra dupes get to the original?

The range runs from a solid 7/10 to a very close 9/10. The interpretations of Sauvage (Salvo), Acqua di Gio Profondo (Jorge Di Profondo) and Herod (Hercules) in particular are regarded as convincing. Important: even a high rating does not mean it is the original scent — longevity, sillage and individual nuances can differ.

Are Maison Alhambra fragrances copies of the original brands?

No. Maison Alhambra sells its own perfumes under its own name, inspired by well-known fragrances. They are not copies of the designer brands, but independent creations. The appeal lies in the lower price for a similar scent experience.
