The review

Luxe Street scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Lafayette Street.

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

Strength: eau de parfum, on a par with most originals.

At $29 it costs 94% less than Lafayette Street.

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

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is bergamot, pink pepper and pear at first, rose, jasmine and orris at its heart and sandalwood, musk and amber at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Pear and rose over powdered sandalwood, downtown with the volume down.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
