Much appreciated review, especially the Grise. I've been wanting to try it out since I saw their version of Dior's.

[@weia1381]

youre editing style is so good!! its so refreshing to see a fragrance channel that actually puts in effort!! you deserve wayy more. Maison alhambra has a whole line of dior fragrances, i would like you to review them!! :)

[@commonscentsreviews]

I really appreciate it! I plan on reviewing more in the future :)

[@sisaid3893]

stunning video !

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@yopsiakay1519]

Had to come on here and thank you for the recommendation of Grise, Maison Alhambra. OMG !!! The fragrance is exquisite! I absolutely love it. I got it last night and I can’t believe how good it is. I am grateful 🙏🏼! Another love in that haul is Vintage Radio by Lattafa…. Gorgeous. Don’t know how these ME companies do it😅!

[@victoracalderon]

Just ordered Grise for $22. Hoping it's not too feminine for me 🤞 I figured all the earthy notes would balance out the rose and it seems like I'm right from your review. Nice video! You might've sold me on Killer Oud Revolution as well 😅

[@TechWorldOrder]

Those transitions look great!

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thanks, man! ✨

[@justaddlight]

You've got a fantastic channel Eli. Can't believe it took me so long to find it! Very impressed with your videography and I really appreciate your candor. Big fan of many from the Alhambra line myself, with my favs being Exclusif Tabac and The Artist No.1. But I did try some of their Dior Prive dupes and Purple Wood was probably the one I liked most. From the Killer Oud line, Jubilant is my jam. Not quite up to Amouage standards, but still a lovely addictive sweet drydown.

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thank you! The purple wood one sounds amazing. How’s the performance on jubilant?

[@justaddlight]

@@commonscentsreviews It's actually not that bad. Projection is a bit quiet though.

[@vincefry9225]

Love this content

[@commonscentsreviews]

Much appreciated Vince! 🙏🏽

[@WhoCares69]

The Dior Gris clone is fabulous 😊

[@commonscentsreviews]

It's my favorite at the moment!

[@sarfarazpatel3996]

Rose oud also very good❤

[@fegermany2413]

Hi Eli , thank you for your videos. Now I have both the serpent , the trail and Grise. I like your videos so keep on going. I love grise so much and its gorgeous

[@commonscentsreviews]

@@fegermany2413 thank you for the encouragement! Grise is one of my favs too and I love wearing it to bed 🙏🏽

[@fegermany2413]

@@commonscentsreviews amazing. I will wear it for dinner, or evening Events, even in summer like now it will be beautiful

[@MRJLS15]

Ouuuuu these sound amazing

[@fegermany2413]

I cant wait for my maison alhambra the Trail and next the serpent. Just the bottles alone is worth for Collection

[@nrgfan]

Hi Eli, great reviews! Was curious about the Maison Alhambra Ombre Blue you mentioned toward the end of this video. What is that a clone of? Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!

[@commonscentsreviews]

Hi there! I actually talked about this one in my unboxing video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmLYkpSrZdOXrcU It’s a clone of Guerlain Patchouli Ardent, and it smells incredible! I plan on doing another video dedicated to just that one.

[@nrgfan]

@@commonscentsreviews Is Ombre Blue similar to Maison Alhambra Grise (clone of Gris Dior)? I bought Grise on your recommendation and love it. Wonder how close these two are, since both emphasize rose and patchouli. Would Ombre Blue be nedundant if I have Grise?

[@commonscentsreviews]

@@nrgfan they do both have those notes, but Grise is more of a fresh and watery rose. Ombré blue is way darker and has a more of a moody and masculine vibe especially from the leather and woods. Both are some of my favorite Maison Alhambra offerings and it’s totally not redundant to own both. Hope this helps!

[@WhoCares69]

Get your hands on Georgians , The Lion Heart by Flavia Perfumes ( branch of Sterling). Clone of Roaring Radcliffe by Penhaligons. Very nice

[@WhoCares69]

I’m waiting for an order. A fragrance from Pendora ( Paris Corner) …… can you guess the notes ?? Top: Leather, Bergamot, Amalfi Lemon, Holly and Rosemary Middle: Tea, Styrax and Lily-of-the-Valley Base: Tonka Bean, Incense, Benzoin, Almond and Amber Bottle totally different but that note breakdown is exactly the same as ……. Midnight in Paris 😂. That’s what it’s called just looks totally different.

[@waynesabados4048]

Great job! Your review is making me want to buy Grise to add to my rose collection but, I already have Amouage Lyric Man and there are common notes between the two. Do you think Grise would be redundant or is there enough of a difference? Someone else mentioned Tabac and I recommend it as a buy! Smells even better layered with Bright Peach!!

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thank you! I can’t say because I’ve never smelled Lyric. I’m going to visit some niche shops in a few days and I’ll report back to see how similar they are!

[@waynesabados4048]

Well, I’ve done it…bought Grise, all based on your review that was dead on!! Loving it.

[@arigabou]

Do u think Gris resembles any other rose based alhambra fragrances? like cassius for example, I own many clones and there are some that smell close to each and other. Do u think its not redundant? I’m really interested in it

[@johnnybrown4052]

The clones are winning they are going to make the originals step their game up.

[@ayanrasheed4794]

Haha 😅 I went to my local somali store and asked the aunty to please show me her best female fragrance. I love it soo much. I didn’t know it was a cologne this whole time.❤

[@sorv5790]

Oh man, if they clone Gucci's Voice of the Snake I'll go nuts. So damn hard to find nowadays and an incredible designer oud. They even cloned the little silk bag Gucci does too! I need to try those Dior ones, I'm not very familiar with Dior's private line but keep hearing good things about it. Good stuff as always, Eli!

[@WhoCares69]

The Hunting Blend ( Fragrance World ) or you have The Serpent ( Maison Alhambra) … both Gucci , Voice of the Snake clones. I have the Alhambra version and it’s good. Maison Alhambra have 4 clones I think 🤔 of Gucci The Alchemists Garden fragrances 👍🏻

[@sorv5790]

@@WhoCares69 You are awesome, sir. Thank you!

[@duMaurier15]

The Serpent at first smells like manure. Like fecal matter from a cow. But give it about 30 minutes and it smells pretty good. Im getting the Trail next.

[@sorv5790]

@@duMaurier15 Good to keep in mind, thanks. The OG is also a little skanky/animalic but more from musk than the oud I think.

[@fegermany2413]

Gorgeous stuff ❤❤❤❤❤ arabic perfumes house are the best at the moment . It will be always worth it to buy and have a Collection

[@commonscentsreviews]

For real! My favorite one I’ve been sleeping on is Lattafa Shaheen Gold. It’s got a ton of Tonka, Patchouli, Fig, and Pineapple. It’s so unique and smells amazing in this heat!

[@fegermany2413]

​@@commonscentsreviews OMG have to Check it soon

[@Konstantinos20]

I really love the myth. It's an amazing perfume and lasts long time. But it doesn't have any rose. Perhaps this is why you didn't like it so much. Hahaha. No rose here, but you can find some bergamot as you said....😅

[@facepullsscents]

Grise is for unisex lean to male or female?

[@nekrozclockwork]

Great video man, as always. Could I request you give maybe give a look to "Flavia" perfumes? They are a sister brand to afnan (I think) and they are one of the few clones I can get where I live, Im particularly interested on their Penhaligons clone collection and their l'immensite clone. Thanks man

[@UnAuthorizedFragTherapy]

Grise and Tabac to be delived soon. Is Grise a winter or summer fragrance?

[@commonscentsreviews]

You’ll have to tell me how Tabac is! Grise is fantastic in the heat because it’s so aquatic and floral!

[@kuga7423]

Tabac is heavy smoky tabac. I was looking for tobacco Vanille type and it is way different.

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

Sorry for asking any sillage or projection from Grise? Some people on fragrantica said it's a skin scents almost.

[@commonscentsreviews]

Whenever I’ve worn it, I get great performance. If you spray on your clothes and your neck/hair it lasts me all day

[@alexj2802]

The performance is great for me. I really like it! I don’t know the original.

[@adil4647]

can u send the link? i cant find it on fragrantica

[@calibrashorty]

"The Myth" is a clone from?

[@marcialythcott5532]

Triple Traders has increased its prices!

[@commonscentsreviews]

Many of the middle eastern fragrance brands like Lattafa and Maison Alhambra have increased their pricing a couple times within the past couple months.

[@marcialythcott5532]

@@commonscentsreviews I get the fragrances cheaper at other sites.

[@duMaurier15]

Keep in mind Triple Traders is in the Chicago area.. so they have added costs like security and insurance and taxes that are one of the highest in the nation.

[@marcialythcott5532]

@@duMaurier15Triple Traders is in the sleepy village of Bensonville. And it’s not even in Cook County. It’s in DuPage County. Your math is not mathing.

[@Christianalajide]

I’m curious would you recommend Grise for a female, or is it masculine learning?

[@TheChameleonjail]

I think it's fairly unisex. The OG leans a little bit on a feminine side. Grise should work well on both men and women.

[@LoveYourself-bx9ng]

But The Myth by Alhambra doesn't have any oud in it.

[@johnnybrown4052]

Why pay a lot of money when the middle eastern fragrances are so damn affordable? Times are hard and not everyone has 200!dollars for a fragrance

[@Humbulla93]

True And Sometimes clones surpass their original, i'd rather get 10 perfumes for 20 Bucks than 1 for 200. So i can cover each possible occasion

[@db4660]

which AI app are you using to create your fragrance reviews?

[@commonscentsreviews]

No AI here! I spend time wearing, testing and compiling my notes and thoughts on each fragrance before every review

[@joshfroese3988]

Hey brother, tons of nice fragrances from maison alhambra and lattafa looking for a fragrance for my girlfriend as a nice gift for my 2 year anniversary with her, what would you recommend?

[@commonscentsreviews]

Appreciate it Josh! Ooh there are so many good ones. My favorite affordable ones for women are Maison Alhambra Infiniti Rose (similar to PDM Delina) and Ard Al Zaafran shams al emarat khususi (Very sweet and innocent), If you want to spend a little money around 200-300, Parfums de Marly Vayala and Delina are amazing. If you want to spend just over 100 and want an Italian niche house, go with Tiziana Terenzi Kirke. It’s amazing and one of the best performing for the price around 14+ hours. Hope this helps!
