The review
Strong contender. That is where Faris Al Arab lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Blonde Amber.
Maison Asrar sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blonde Amber's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $51 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Blonde Amber — the 3rd cheapest of 8 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 Asrar 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: aldehydes, bergamot and spices up top, dried fruits, jasmine and orange blossom in the middle, amber, blonde tobacco and vanilla underneath — the shape of Clive Christian Blonde Amber.
Top
- aldehydes
- bergamot
- spices
Heart
- dried fruits
- jasmine
- orange blossom
Base
- amber
- blonde tobacco

Blonde tobacco and dried fruit sunk into amber, opulent and faintly smoky.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
