The review
Strong contender. That is where Luxe Bold MAISON lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bleecker Street.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bleecker Street's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $29 per 100ml it costs 94% less than Bleecker Street — the 2nd cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
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
What it is chasing: violet leaf, bergamot and pink pepper up top, iris, jasmine and guaiac wood in the middle, musk, amber and cedar underneath — the shape of Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street.
Top
- violet leaf
- bergamot
- pink pepper
Heart
- iris
- jasmine
- guaiac wood
Base
- musk
- amber
- cedar
Violet leaf and iris over smoky guaiac wood, the most quietly addictive Bond there is.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
