Maison Alhambra
Black Origami EDP
“Dark orchid, truffle, and chocolate wrapped in incense and patchouli — gothic, opulent, and unmistakably Black Orchid for a fraction of the price.”
The take
What works
- ●A near-exact Black Orchid clone — the dark orchid, truffle, and chocolate accord is all there
- ●Opulent and rich in cold weather; a proper winter statement
- ●Absurd value at around $20
Trade-offs
- ●A little rougher and less refined than the Tom Ford up close
- ●The dark, heavy profile is polarizing and strictly cold-weather
