What wearers say

“The opening of Bibliothèque is so incredibly good that the dry down is even more of a letdown. It opens super fragrant and fruity, very rich.But then it dries down pretty quickly and suddenly ALL you can smell is the leather. It smells just like a firewood candle I have, and I understand why people say it is headache-inducing.Definitely not a blind buy.HOWEVER: one spray on each wrist and it lasted me almost 24h with a pretty good sillage!”

“As another poster has said ; BUY the clone Berlinetta instead! $24.00. When you get it- spray it about 10 times. Shake it up for 5 minutes. Then let it sit for 6 months. You will be happy ! 89% close clone. PRO-TIP : I like to layer my clones: something LEATHER from another brand might help this along. The leather in the CLONE and the ORIGINAL is not very potent. Maybe that was the concept ? I do like both but who needs a blind buy that's $180.00 plus ?”

“Ok I actually don't have this one. But this website doesn't have the dupe "milestone mistique" in the database whch IS what I have. If anyone has smelled both the real one and the dupe please let me know if the notes are similar. I didn't even know it was a dupe when I got it, I just fell in love with the unique smell.”

Sillage

Maison Alhambra's version is softer and more delicate overall, with reduced longevity (4-6 hours vs 8+ hours for Byredo). The violet leaf note is more pronounced in the clone, making it slightly sweeter than the original's more austere, literary character.
