Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Masterpiece lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Althaïr.
Maison Asrar sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Althaïr's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Althaïr — the 6th cheapest of 31 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: cinnamon, orange blossom and cardamom up top, bourbon vanilla and elemi in the middle, praline, musk and Ambroxan underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Althaïr.
Top
- cinnamon
- orange blossom
- cardamom
Heart
- bourbon vanilla
- elemi
Base
- praline
- musk
- Ambroxan
Cinnamon and cardamom over bourbon vanilla, landing on praline and candied almond — a warm gourmand built for cold weather.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
