The review
On paper, Exquisite Prive is a reasonable bet if you want Gentleman Réserve Privée for less.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gentleman Réserve Privée's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
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's built to smell like
The original opens on rum, cardamom and bergamot, turns to iris, lavender and orange blossom, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and patchouli. That is the brief Exquisite Prive is working from.
Top
- rum
- cardamom
- bergamot
Heart
- iris
- lavender
- orange blossom
Base
- Tonka Bean
- vanilla
- patchouli
Rum and tonka poured over the Gentleman iris; richer, sweeter, more after-hours.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
