The review
Strong contender. That is where The Serpent lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to The Voice of the Snake.
Maison Alhambra describes it with woody notes — a different vocabulary from The Voice of the Snake's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.
It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $31 per 100ml it costs 93% less than The Voice of the Snake — the cheapest of 1 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: saffron up top, agarwood (oud) and myrrh in the middle, patchouli and woody notes underneath — the shape of Gucci The Voice of the Snake.
Top
- saffron
Heart
- agarwood (oud)
- myrrh
Base
- patchouli
- woody notes
Oud and myrrh coiled around saffron; smoky, medicinal and the least polite thing Gucci sells.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Gucci The Voice of the Snake we can price, The Serpent is the cheapest per 100ml.
- 01 Maison Alhambra The Serpent $31/100ml
- 02 Bujairami Serpent Hiss $32.50
