The Scoop
Grise by Maison Alhambra captures the fresh, aromatic character of Gris Dior quite effectively, with a nearly identical citrus opening and iris-dominant heart. The basenotes feel slightly softer and less refined, with the cedarwood appearing less structured, which slightly diminishes the overall sophistication of the composition. Overall, it's a competent recreation that works well as an affordable alternative, though it lacks the refined depth and longevity of the original.
Key Differences
The clone's basenote development feels slightly warmer and less woody compared to the original's cooler, more structured cedar-vetiver accord. Longevity and projection are comparable, but the clone tends to perform marginally weaker in the dry-down phase.

What wearers say
“Renamed to Grey Ash.Classic and refined. There's nothing overly loud here, nothing sharp. Best way I can describe it is "soft" or "desaturated", but in a really good way. I get a little bit of the bergamot in the opening, but it doesn't take long to fade out. Cedar and my chemistry don't always get along (which sucks as I love cedar), but here it's done really well and plays nice with my chemistry.Overall, it's very comfortable (no unsettling opening, just straight into soft, grounded roses) and an easy reach. It has quickly earned a place in my daily rotation.”
“I have many MA fragrances and they are all spot on - not 100% exact dupes but 96-98%. And - cruelty-free so for me it's a no-brainer and I couldn't care less for the negligible differences here and there. Recently, they surprised me with a 99% dupe, so I am really curious about this one, although I've never smelled the OG. I am on the hunt for rose fragrances that are interesting and NOT toilet fresheners.”
“Update- Nov 30th, 2025:Still smells like generic purple candy with a mellowed citric acid brightness.Will update again end of December. I have no idea if the scent will noticeably change. I may get rid of this bc the scent is very generic and uninteresting to me.Previous:September 28th, 2025:Currently, this perfume smells sweet and reminds me of generic purple candy with a floral sense to it. I'm hoping it isn't a misbottled batch.Rcvd bottle September 13th, 2025: Needs to Mature/ oxidize/macerate.”
