The review
Worth a try. That is where Red Eclipse lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Ambre Samar.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ambre Samar's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 44% less than Ambre Samar — the cheapest of 1 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
What it is chasing: cardamom, almond and frankincense up top, amber and davana in the middle, benzoin, Tonka Bean and patchouli underneath — the shape of Guerlain Ambre Samar.
Top
- cardamom
- almond
- frankincense
Heart
- amber
- davana
Base
- benzoin
- Tonka Bean
- patchouli
Cardamom and olibanum sinking into red-wine amber; chiaroscuro warmth for a dark evening.
