Maison Alhambra Forbidden Love – Gourmand, Fruity, Amber, Sweet – Eau de Parfum Spray Long-Lasting Fragrance for Unisex, 2.7 Ounce / 80 ml

I’ve been looking for a Tom Ford dupe for years. I was gifted Tom Ford and kept the bottle to compare - if and when I found a dupe. The Porto Neroli is exactly the same. I saw some reviews saying it doesn’t last long, but I disagree. I immediately came to buy another bottle (or 3) to have on hand and it isn’t available anymore. I’ll keep looking!

This smells like Tom Ford's Portofino Aqua. Great dupe and it last longer than the original , I am a woman and I love this fragrance for summer . I feel this is a unisex fragrance.

Does not last. Three hours only

Sweet and gentle oud fragrance that leans masculine. Longevity is 4 hours or so. Projecting well for an hour or so with a 3 spray amount. More sprays make this one last longer. Nice bottle and good sprayer. This is a great value for the money at 100 ml. Has a very similar attraction as oud Wood.

Like the title says. Today I just got the travel size Oud wood, and wow. I was surprised at first because the “Peppermint” like smell in the beginning was similar.But it was only after smelling them side by side I was like woah, it’s complete different. I really don’t like the opening note. But comparing it to this one this one is worst it smells bad in comparison to Oud wood when it smells spicy but not in a bad way. It’s held back.But as it dries forget about it, Oud wood is ADDICTING! It literally makes you want to smell it more and more. It’s more of an experience. And ambience than just a fragrance. I never smelled Oud before so I was like WTH is this? Does it smell bad? No. Hmmm let me take another whif. And I’m consult like that then as it fried down it gets creamy, you can smell the tonka beans better, and every time you smell it it’s slightly different. I would say it’s. A perfect blend. If any of the scented in it were slightly more potent it would not be as good. But it’s so perfectly balanced.Don’t waste your money on this.For the same price in fragrance.net you can get the real Oud wood and try it out. I got a bunch of other small samples to try and I’ll have to say worth it. Because now I know I really do like Oud wood and this doupe does not live to the expectation at all.I won’t even suggest getting this if you have less money. No. Get Oud wood.

Spot on Neroli! Fresh and crisp for the summer heat!

Here's the deal my friends. We can talk about 95% or 99% or 100% accuracy in the recreation of this fragrance if you want, and I think that any of those three claims would be a very fair assessment. But I don't think that's the conversation we should be having. Let me break it down just a little.First, my resume or cred or experience, if you will. I'm an avid fragrance collector. I have over 60 fragrances ranging from $20-$450. The top end of that range belonging to TF Oud Wood. I started off with a sample of TFOW and was mesmerized right off that bat. I went on to buy the large bottle. I've worn it several times. I'm very familiar with it. All together I think my collection is valued somewhere in the $4,000 range. So I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but neither am I a noob.So I heard about this, ordered it and received it today. And I knew that I didn't even need to spray it, my nose would know just off the atomizer what we were dealing with, and I was right. Although I obviously did move onto sprays as well, and LIBERALLY at this price!Let me tell you. EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING that mesmerizes me with the real TFOW is there, with absolutely nothing that I don't recognize, or is anything I would consider, "off". It even performs just as horribly as the original! (Longevity) but that's inherent with this scent, original or clone apparently and you can take that or leave it. Although nose blindness is real and I never really know how much that's affecting any fragrance. I live a mostly solitary life so there ya go.That being said, this isn't a home run, this is a GRAND FREAKING SLAM. Honestly, if I hadn't ran into some rocky times financially recently, I'd purchase every bottle they have available to keep for myself.Maybe I shouldn't even be writing this review. Maybe I should say it sucks really bad so they won't sell out. But maybe if they do start selling out they'll keep getting more, and ultimately that's what I want. I want this fragrance right here to be around for the rest of my life.And listen, if you didn't buy this fragrance because you appreciate the original, then make sure you include that in your review. Just buying some fragrance blind that you don't know anything about and then bashing it because it's not your style is... I don't know. It's foolish.But if you love the original, then buy this because it is the original, at 1/10 of the price.What a fascinating modern world we live in where something like this is even possible.

This smells very similar to Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino, which was my hope in getting the fragrance. For the price, the quality is very good. It lasts between 4-6 hours on me, which honestly is a little better than the fragrance that inspired this one. It is unisex, and sits close to the skin, so while it is not a statement fragrance, it is beautiful. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I have some fragrances that last quite a bit longer. With that being said, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to some more expensive, similar fragrances, this is a great deal.
