The review

Worth a try. That is where Chocolatier lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Cruz del Sur II.

Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cruz del Sur II's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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 is chasing: orange, bergamot and nutmeg up top, chocolate, praline and iris in the middle, vanilla, sandalwood and amber underneath — the shape of Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II.
