The review
Extravagant Lover scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Uomo Born in Roma.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Uomo Born in Roma's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $30 it costs 75% less than Uomo Born in Roma.
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
Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is ginger and violet leaf at first, mineral notes and violet at its heart and vetiver and cashmere wood at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
