Luxe Bold captures the fruity-herbal opening and spicy floral heart of Bleecker St quite effectively, with the blueberry and cassis notes translating well. The base is slightly softer, lacking some of the caramel sweetness and complexity of the original, making it feel less warm and enveloping in the dry-down.
The clone maintains good fidelity to the original's structure but has a shorter longevity and reduced sillage, with the base notes feeling less developed and indulgent. The caramel facet is noticeably diminished, giving Luxe Bold a slightly cleaner, less gourmand finish.
What people who wear Maison Alhambra Luxe Bold report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Synthetic freshie, not amazing but not terrible either. I can't speak on its performance just yet as I haven't worn it enough to tell, but it's just an okay fragrance imo.Apparently this is supposed to smell like New York Musk, but I found that it also kinda bares a resemblance to Ultraviolet for Men by Paco Rabanne (as I do own that one), though I much prefer Ultraviolet. Bit of a shame as the notes are intriguing.”
“Wow. Great value, and an amazing opportunity to get unique DNA at a low price.Upon first spray, I thought it was very far off the blueberry musky goodness I hoped for. It seemed more black currant and grapefruit heavy but a month later and it's very close with fruity musk and a bit of sharp vetiver. I think it leans sightly more masculine than the Original DNA and another inspired creation I have from Zoha Aroma. I wish there was a blueberry note but no complaints, this is gorgeous on its own, and I'm loving the sharp vetiver. Great for all year day time use!”
