The review
On paper, Karnak Temple is a strong bet if you want More Than Words for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is More Than Words's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 73% less than More Than Words — the 7th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on cardamom, damask rose and dried fruits, turns to rose, fruity notes and spicy notes, and settles into agarwood (oud), ambergris and labdanum. That is the brief Karnak Temple is working from.
Top
- cardamom
- damask rose
- dried fruits

Base
- agarwood (oud)
- ambergris

For the one who speaks in gestures, drenching a sweet jammy damask rose in dark oud and resinous warmth.
