Maison Alhambra Glacier Bold for Unisex Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce / 100 ml

Fantastic alternative to JPG Le Male original. Same minty lavender freshness with that nice vanilla undertone. Fresh, slightly sweet, but entirely masculine. As an EDP, I would argue that performance is better than newer batches of the original, while staying very true to the scent, which to me justifies this purchase despite the fairly low price tag of the original. Fragrantica claims this to be a fairly all year fragrance, but I'm unsure how much I would recommend wearing this in the warmer weather. The barber shop freshness could work if not too warm, but the added sweetness may make it too much to really be successful in the summer heat. That being said, fantastic for any of the cooler weather seasons, or cooler indoor environments. Great date night scent, great for the office if you spray wisely and prefer a more unique profile than other office friendly freshies, and great for casual or maybe even formal nights out. Dry down is pleasant and vanillic while still maintaining some of that lavender note. Highly recommend if you enjoy the more "old school" scent profiles. I would not call this modern by any means, but if you're younger and confident you may be able to pull this off as something not so common. Personal tip: Layering this on top of either Le Male Elixir or The Kingdom by Lattafa is a fantastic way to add long lasting freshness to the more warm vanilla dry down of these two fragrances. Definitely adds to the projection, so be prepared to be noticed if you layer them, and be mindful of other people. Or don't. Up to you.

I had to write a review right away, because this is genuinely one of my favorite fragrences I own (and I own a LOT - including dozens of high end brands). Its sparkly and juicy in the beginning, and quickly dries down to a beautiful, juicy pear blended perfectly with a creamy vanilla. The sillage is incredible. The wear is strong for about 4 hours, then becoming more personal for another 3-5. Lasts longer in clothes. I never got to smell the OG, so idk how well they compare, but im THRILLED with this purchase! So much so that I plan to buy a back up for when I run out.

This perfume is really good, especially for the price. You would think that it’s more expensive because it really lasts a long time on your skin. The only thing is that if you wanna wear it, it has to be more like any colder weather, but I really do love it on my man. I love it on me. I think we would both share it, even though it’s for specifically men, but I like wearing it. It smells really good on my skin and it lasts all day. It reminds me of saltwater Cypress by crimo the cologne. Those are the types of fragrances that I would honestly wear. The next one I want to try is the glacier perfume, for women and I wanna try their vanilla and I wanna try their musk. I would love to try the rest of those, but at the moment I’m going to try this one more, and I’m gonna spend more time with it when the colder weather comes just to see how well it projects on my skin it already projects pretty good on my skin when it’s hot, but I would prefer a lot of my fragrances to be more in the colder weather because they’re more diffusive, and a lot more fresher.

This fragrance has the best longevity of the various ME brands I have tried. It has a really nice vanilla base with a bit of spice and the sweetness of pear. I like it quite a lot, it’s noticeable but not overly strong or cloying. I do wish it hag a nicer bottle and the atomizer is decent but not the most even mister.

Just got this in and wow, this is my first true hate/regret. This smells AWFUL. My bottle was made 10/2023 for reference. It smells like Afnan’s 9pm or Armaf’s Spectra, but if you dropped it into a men’s urinal, it got urinated on, and mixed in with a cheap urinal cake and then you rebottled it. It’s just a horrifically worse version of 9pm/Spectra. Harsh, chemically smelling with a mild urine hit. I also even get like a cheap cherry soapy undertone. It’s a fetid disgusting odor all-around though, whatever it is. I’m going to let it sit for 2 weeks and then 2 months and check back on it. I will update if it improved at all, but my best advice for now is to completely avoid this bad Lataffa/Maison Alhambra. Get either Armaf’s excellent Spectra or Afnan’s 9pm. Both are 1000x better versions of this scent profile.

At first I wasn't a fan, but then I kept coming back to it and it sort of grown on me, it's a very deep sweet coconut with just a hint of pineapple. The performance is nuclear, it keeps it's deep sweet scent for a long time. 3 sprays is all you need (back of neck, inner elbows), any more will give you a headache. It's in a weird place where it could pass as a winter fragrance since it's so sweet, but be a summer fragrance since it has tropical notes. I honestly don't know when to wear this lol. It's a very playful scent but it's masculine.

Smells good but top leaks when the lid is put on and taken off…so I can’t really travel with it because it leaks.

I bought this for my wife because we both really liked the smell of the original. I love the way. The smell smells, but she’s currently in a gourmand phase, so she’s not wearing this one very much. But I absolutely love the way it smells. Very modern and feminine. Great value for money. I had no issues with my bottle for leakage. I think it’s a very versatile scent for a woman that could be worn in any setting or season.
