The review

On paper, Golden Hour is one of the strongest bets if you want Ambre Levant for less.

Scentual Obsessions lists 8 of the 8 notes in Ambre Levant's pyramid — cinnamon, mandarin, incense, white pepper and amber and more, which is the whole brief.

At $140 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Ambre Levant — the 3rd cheapest of 4 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 Scentual Obsessions 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 cinnamon and mandarin, turns to incense and white pepper, and settles into amber, oud and ambergris. That is the brief Golden Hour is working from.

Base

  • ambergris
Cinnamon and incense settling into oud and labdanum, resinous and slow, amber climbing as the light goes.

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 4 twins of Louis Vuitton Ambre Levant we can price, Golden Hour is number 3 on price per 100ml.
