Arabian Hustler

Fantastic inspiration! Upon first apply, my wife thought I was wearing Tobacco Oud. Top note is that extremely distinctive tobacco blast. Whiskey and Oud notes are there but they only play supportive role to the tobacco note for duration of DNA. Like the inspiration, this is an unapologetic masculine DNA. As many people that will like it, there will be an equal amount that do not. It is polarizing. Longevity and performance are average at best. Longevity is around 5/6 hours...projection is OK at first but does become skin scent as it dries down. If you like strong tobacco DNAs, go get a sample and live with it for a few days. As for me, this is a buy all day long. Well done AF!!!

I find this juice to be similar to Tobacco Oud for maybe 2 hours and then Atelier's Tobacco Nuit at least to the dry down. It is a very nice fragrance. Initially strong but within a hour it has settled into an enjoyable day or night fragrance. As always, it is excellent quality even if it isn't a dead ringer for TF's Tobacco Oud. For the price it is well worth the investment. Enjoy!

I have decants of TF Tobacco Oud and a bottle of Arabian Hustler and I actually like Hustler better due to its slightly sweeter opening. I believe the Alexandria version is easier to wear and it provides excellent sillage and long-lasting performance.

Absolutely AMAZING oud tobacco scent.Comes across as very smooth. I can't say if it's an exact clone of Tom Ford's fragrance but it's very good and the price is great compared to the original.

This is a super close interpretation of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. Just a superbly done juice from start to finish. For the price this can't be beat. Try before you but of course. Enjoy!

I ordered a 7pc sample set to smell a few i was interested. and while i cannot speak for authenticity for ALL of then, their are a few that i can compare to. Arabian Hustler is one of them as i OWN authentic TF Tobacco Oud. At first spray - its a bit pungent on the alcohol. give it 5 minutes and vuala! you've got the opening to Tobacco Oud. it really does smell Correct. Unfortunately, things begin to go down hill. as Tobacco Oud ages on your skin/clothes it changes with its stages of dry down. this is where Arabian hustler takes a different path. its not that bad. but it no longer can be called a Tobacco Oud clone as it just becomes different over time. i had both on me at once, real on the left, AH on the righh 5 minute mark - Identical 30 Min - Still Identical 1 Hour - This is where we smell a difference 3 Hour - they are close...like cousins close 5 hour - Arabian Hustler is weak, its dissipating and smells different that the Tobacco oud at this point after about the 7 hour mark i could not detect it, while the TF continued with its tobacco woody powdery scent which went out for about 10-12 hrs. its a good scent, don't get me wrong. but i just cant replace Tobacco Oud with it. its not quite as good.

This is Alexandria Frangrances impression of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. I love the rich, warm and eligance of Tobacco Oud, so i was looking forward to trying Arabian Hustler. AH starts off very similar to TO, but a bit thinner with a distinctly sour note underneath. While oud does have this profile, I do not get that in TO. I would put AH at about 65% the same as TO. For a few hours AH retains this scent and has moderate projection on my skin. After 6 hours the scent is very much a skin scent. I need to press my nose to my skin in order to smell it. While this is not a great clone of TO to my nose and the performance does suffer, it does offer a cheaper option for a TO impaired Frangrance. If you are on a very tight budget you might want to consider this one. Edit: even though I cannot smell this on my skin after 6 hours, my wife asked me if I was wearing a tobacco scent 24 hours after I applied it. I have not put on another fragrance yet, so it appears to last longer that I thought. I just cannot smell it after 6 hours.

Opens with a boozy oud, but settles into a tobacco and patchouli fragrance. There is a nice sweetness that makes it a very wearable fragrance. Not overly potent on my skin and the longevity could be better for the type of fragrance it is, I get about an hour and then a close yo skin scent.

Smells great unfortunately has very little projection, even in the first hour. It lasts decent but becomes a skin after the first hour.

Alexandria #3 (my third). Purchased this merely because of good reviews and I need a potent Oud/Wood in my collection. Upon first blast I was reminded of Bentley Intense (a fragrance that I hate) and was all "Oh no..." BUT fear not as Alexandria comes through quite well on this. Basically it's a strong tobacco/ whiskey / oud / wood fragrance with very good longevity. A little light on the oud perhaps , so if you needed an Oud Powerhouse this is not for you. I have completely forgotten what Tom Ford Oud Wood smells like , so I will do a side by side when I'm at Nordstrom's next. Happy with my purchase. P.S. The whiskey mixing with the wood reminds me of my parents liquor cabinet in the 1970s ! So right there be a memory trigger ! EDIT: I lived with this for 48 hours so far and have sprayed myself at various points during the day and night. Conclusion: Not the best Alexandria. Super pungent tobacco / whiskey for about 3 hours. Not nearly enough Oud. And the tobacco is CIGAR tobacco , not pipe -- if that means anything to you. If you like Bentley Intense: this is Bentley Intense on steriods !

I got a sample of this as TV Tobacco Oud is discontinued, however, this frag is soooo weak, doesn't project at all and maybe lasts for an hour or two. I got the sample when I ordered a bottle of their copy of la Nuit De L'Homme so it's an official tester sample. Really disappointed as I actually love the smell of this fragrance, I sprayed my TV Oud Wood on my other arm and Oud Wood is soooo much stronger in every way. Very sad, I was hoping this would perform well.

For the first hour, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between A. Hustler and Tobacco Oud. Both are beautifully rich and opulent. Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud has a slightly richer scent...a raisin note that is present in good tobacco/whiskey combos, IMO. Is that slight richness worth the extra money? You'll have to decide that, but Arabian Hustler is wonderful in it's own right.

My first frag from Alexandria and I’m pleased. I was surprised at how close this really is to TF Tobacco Oud. A lot of “inspired by” scents get somewhere close to the original but this is REALLY close.

I just placed an order for this and Anubis Kiss, as I love both TF's Tobacco Oud, which this is supposedly a clone of, and Nasomatto's Black Afgano. Let's see!

Yep! It's TF's Tobacco Oud alright...Note for note. Love it!

I guarantee it. Arab hustlers are swanky and hot .
