Kismet by Alhambra successfully captures the spicy-floral character of YSL's Tuxedo with a solid interpretation of the top and heart notes. The clone maintains the elegant rose and lily-of-the-valley interplay with comparable pepper and coriander brightness, though the base lacks the depth and complexity of the original's ambergris-forward finish.
The primary distinction lies in the base notes, where the clone's simpler vanilla-amber accord feels lighter and less refined compared to Tuxedo's richer ambergris and patchouli blend. Longevity and sillage are also marginally softer on the clone.
What people who wear Alhambra Kismet report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Really bad performance and longevity. I don't know if its just my batch but the sillage and projection is very weak. Becomes a skin scent right after spraying.”
“Full size bottle worthy! Signature scent worthy! On its own I rate it a 9 on a 10 scale. Compared to YSL Tuxedo it’s a 6, (because Tuxedo is sooooooo good). I have to stop myself from reaching for it so often. I’ve only worn it in late Fall and early Winter but I can see this as an 11 month fragrance (skip the high heat). I keep a travel atomizer in my gym bag on days I wear Kismet and if I think I might want to reapply I DO WITHOUT HESITATION because of the price/value. It was a blind buy and cost about the same as a 7ML Decant of YSL’s Tuxedo.”
“I purchased a bottle of this just to see if it was any good. I immediately purchased a second bottle after smelling it the first time. It smells fantastic. On clothes it lasts a pretty long time. I’d say around 10 hrs or so with moderate projection. It’s worth a purchase if you’re wanting a nice suit and tie fragrance at a great price.”
