The review
On paper, Hamsat Ghazal is a strong bet if you want Alexandria II for less.
Maison Asrar sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Alexandria II's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 96% less than Alexandria II — the 3rd cheapest of 9 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
The original opens on palisander rosewood, lavender and apple, turns to rose, cedar and lily of the valley, and settles into agarwood (oud), sandalwood and amber. That is the brief Hamsat Ghazal is working from.
Top
- palisander rosewood
- lavender
- apple
Heart
- rose
- cedar
- lily of the valley
Base
- agarwood (oud)
- sandalwood
- amber
For the one who wears heritage like a crown, weaving warm amber, oud and spice into an aura of unhurried opulence.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
