The review

On paper, Narcotic Flower is a strong bet if you want Fleur Narcotique for less.

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

At $30 it costs 92% less than Fleur Narcotique.

Value10.0
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's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot, lychee and peach, turns to peony, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into musk, moss and woods. That is the brief Narcotic Flower is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • lychee
  • peach

Heart

  • peony
  • jasmine
  • orange blossom

Base

  • musk
  • moss
  • woods
Lychee-bright peony and jasmine over clean musk — effortlessly likeable and endlessly complimented.
