The review
On paper, Valley of the Kings is a strong bet if you want Richwood for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Richwood's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Richwood — the 4th cheapest of 4 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 saffron, bergamot and pink pepper, turns to rose, oud and jasmine, and settles into sandalwood, amber and patchouli. That is the brief Valley of the Kings is working from.
