SOTA.M. - Jean Lowe Noir by Maison Alhambra

🔥

This is a very respectable clone of LVs Ombre Nomade. I've tried the LV within 30 minutes of trying this clone. Yes, the OG is a much better blended fragrance with better quality ingredients, but at $440(!!), I just think that LV is trying to play me for a chump.🙈

They're both oud/rose fragrances, which is not exactly the most unique combination out there, and again, the LV is at a different level to most, but not all...

Now let's talk real world. The LV goes for $440, no discounters, no nothing. $440. The clone goes for $25 everywhere. Is the LV 16x better? Not in my book, thank you. If the LV were to go for $220, I may consider it, but for $440(!!) I'm forced to actually dislike the entire brand altogether. I just hate being played...

With JL Noir I get a respectable performance and longevity, and the sillage isn't bad either (see fragrantica below.) This is a very pleasant scent for my purposes on a Tuesday morning and I don't have to worry about figuring out how much it costs everytime I hit the atomizer.🙄
