Jean Lowe Ombre

First, a quick clarification for those consulting Fragrantica: this fragrance is marketed under two names, Jean Lowe Ombre and Jean Lowe Noir; these are, in fact, the same composition, with the latter representing Maison Alhambra's more recent nomenclature. This is a brutally smoky, dark amber fragrance, emphasizing dark, earthy woods and a persistent incense smoke. A deep rose floral accord adds complexity, elevating it beyond typical oud wood and leather-centric compositions. This floral component is neither overtly feminine nor light; rather, it presents a rich, leathery facet. Comparing it to the LV original, this lacks a prominent raspberry note, but otherwise remains true to the DNA. This fragrance is a remarkable value at approximately $25, an excellent addition for those seeking darker fragrances suitable for winter wear. While most will likely reserve this for formal occasions and special social functions, it could also serve as a signature scent for a man with a mysterious, reticent persona, perhaps one who favors a moto jacket, a well-groomed beard, and exudes a strong masculine aura. It is a compelling fragrance, though not recommended as a blind buy unless the wearer has a pre-existing appreciation for smoky, incense-forward, and dark olfactory profiles. Be forewarned, though: this fragrance projects an undeniable aura of villainy—a dark, sophisticated, and perhaps slightly foreboding presence, reminiscent of a classic film noir anti-hero.

I just received my bottle of JL Ombre/Noir and I’m definitely a fan. It’s a great combination of oud, smoke, rose and raspberry. I’d say this is one of the best oud notes I’ve smelled in a cheap fragrance, usually they’re pretty noticeably fake, but that’s not so much the case with JL Ombre. JL Ombre is definitely more of a fall/winter scent. I’d say this is unisex, maybe leaning more masculine. Imo JL Ombre is probably about 90% similar to Ombre Nomade when it dries down. Bringing me to my next point which is the only negative I’ve found so far, which is the opening right after spraying. The first 30-60 seconds or so are extremely harsh and if I’m being honest remind me of like some soapy, fecal alcohol scent. Just to clarify it goes away very quickly so don’t let that scare you away from buying this. With all that being said we must remember that—especially with clone fragrances—the scent is not always fully developed/mixed which can drastically change a scent sometimes, so my fragrance more than likely still needs to macerate. Overall a very good fragrance, a very good clone, and definitely worth the purchase.

This here comes as close to Ombre Nomade as any recreation. The initial notes that you get when you spray it is oud, bakhoor and a heavy incense like smell. This evaporates and then settles into something that is absolutely heavenly. The dry down is so rich with the smoky bakhoor like aroma and the rose that peaks through, sniff it more and you can smell the saffron and raspberry adding a touch of mature freshness that is beautifully held by the birch in there. Projection is nuclear so go for only 2 sprays. You will get a long lasting silage and yes this is a serious, rich, deep and heavy aroma which smells amazing with every passing minute. The oud here is not harsh or skanky, it's perfect. Extremely good for its value. A strict cold ❄️ weather scent. Not for everyone though. I love this and would give a 9/10 easily. I blind bought this after watching many reviews on YouTube, reddit and comments on this website and I am glad that I picked it up.. Worth every penny.. P.S - Jean Lowe Ombre is now rebranded as Jean Lowe Noir. Both are the same. Enjoy..❤️✌️

Bought it last year when it came with name lowe ombre probably 03/2023 batch. Bought 4 bottles as soon as i found out its LV ON's take from Maison Alhambra, they have never let me down so i had big expectations for this too. Since i had it in spring so i just puffed few sprays and left it in my closet where it macerated for 6 months. Finally when i used it, met all expectations, for £16 each bottle back then, it was the best buy. Every single friend of mine male and female loved it, i have OG LV ON decant, so i have tested it side by side against original. Here it goes according to my experience. Similarity to OG : 90%-95% Longevity : 8/10 Sillage: 8/10 Performance: 8/10 Bang for buck (2023) : 10/10 Bang for buck (2024) : 5/10 Now its gone 3-4 times the price i paid back in 2023, lucky i bought 4 then. A must have for people who love oud/rose/geranium/benzoin/saffron combo. Masterfully done by this house for such a complex scent also considered as "WORK OF ART" by many.

This is one of those fragrances that you are going to either love it or hate it. I have never smelled the LV version but if I smelled this one with a blindfold, it would come off as smelling like something that’s expensive and niche or upscale designer. I hated it the first time I smelled it as a blind buy, but I am in love with it now. The oud & rose combo is beautiful. Then the rose comes out even more as it dries down. I first thought that it leaned masculine, but imagining this on my wife makes me think that women can pull it off too if not more so than us men. This is mystery, confidence, and attraction in a bottle. Probably best suited for cooler nights, formal events, and date nights. I wouldn’t wear this with a t shirt, jeans, or sneakers. This is a statement fragrance for me. Suited and booted. Not really suited for work IMO but every now and then during the winter, I may wear ONE SPRAY to the office. Kinda beast mode so be careful.

Tried Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade and fell in love with the DNA, but couldn’t justify the price point at all Heard about this clone and have been sceptical of clones in past due to hit or miss (except Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa, certified hit for those interested in gourmand scents) but this one I bought from a trusted seller on eBay for £25 and I can say this is 95% the same as Ombre Nomade (minus the raspberry which I don’t care for as more feminine leaning) and I bought another bottle too I’m extremely happy with my purchase by Maison Alhambra as they hit this right on the money and love it, as with the LV Ombre Nomade, I feel like I’m a Capo or something in The Mafia and have that boss energy, like wearing Black Air Forces or something, 10/10 my signature for fall and winter easily and much more value for money!

People who are buying lowe noir and then commenting here should comment in lowe noir about their negative experience. LOWE OMBRE first batch i bought in 23/03/2024. Bought 4 for £16 back then, opened 1 and experience fresh out of box was not great, however after that was spring time entering summer, so i put it back and let it macerate untill end of september and then one day took it out to my surprise that it smelled 90% easy as ombre nomade (I COMPARED IT SIDE BY SIDE WITH OG LV ON SAMPLE). NOT AS STRONG AS OMBRE NOIR IN LONGEVITY ON SKIN, ABOUT 8+ HRS FOR ME AND ON CLOTHES EASY COUPLE OF DAYS. WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT FROM SOMETHING WORTH PRICE OF PEANUTS AS COMPARED TO REAL THING AND PERFORMS MORE THAN EXPECTED. SCORE : 9/10 ALL DAY LONG

A total love hate fragrance and by that I mean you'll either love it or hate it at first sniff as it has a slightly skreechy oud note to it and I would 100% say test this one before buying. I've got the older Noir version as it's now been rebranded to Ombre. It should really have been called Ombre from the start as it's a dupe of Luis Vuitton Ombre Nomade. But it's very well done for a dupe and even comes in the LV Ombre Nomade bottle with magnetic cap and is beautifully presented in a round tin. It's sheer rose and oud and I can't even detect the raspberry note in it. It also lasts like ten hours easily. I'd rate it an 8/10 and would wear it in the colder seasons.

I don't like to put reviews for clone fragrances often, however this is one of the rare instances where I feel like the clone is better than the original. This takes the dark, woody, oud aspect from the original and amplifies it, whilst subduing the fruity raspberry note. IMO one of the best clone fragrances out there (though it is a bit divisive if you do not enjoy the middle eastern style of oud fragrances). My only knock on this is that it doesn't perform like the OG, but the performance is still quite acceptable, especially given the price tag. 9.9/10 imo

I just got this delivered. Straight out of the box it smells quite synthetic, dilluted and missing the sweet raspberry note. This will surely need to sit for a few months. The bar was set very high with Oros pure leather gold which smells a lot better than this, even Lueur D’espoir Amber from Paris Corner smells quite better than this. We shall see if this gets any better with time but right now i am honestly not impressed.

I love this fragrance. It's a lighter version of LV Ombre Nomade. It's got a good balance of rose, raspberry, smoke, and oud. This is a good entry into oud fragrances as it's not overbearing or off-putting at all. I've noticed my bottle has matured over the last couple of months and now has more depth and the oud and smokiness has developed further. For the price, you can't beat it.

This is now called jean lowe noir. I can smell the leather in this but anyone that says this smells like tuscan leather or ombre leather are way off. This smells nothing like those. Almost has a dirty quality to it. I definitely smell the leather and raspberry. Lasts a long time and projects really well. The more I wear it the more I like it. 7.5/10.

I only got one word *NUCLEAR* absolute masterpiece of a fragrance, got 4 compliments during one 8 hour shift at work. One of my colleagues owns Louis Vuitton Ombré Nomade and said your wearing Ombré Nomade, he was surprised when I told him it’s a dupe. The opening is very oudy but once you get pass that it’s insane!!! 10/10

I've had the original since release, when it was ambre with an A. This stuff is magnificent and does the inspiration proud. Took some months way back to mature, but oh boy, when it does, it's a brave scent that inspires evil deeds.

Just like the OG, for 1/10 the price. At this point I think buying the OG is literally throwing money away. Maybe OG has slightly more longevity - but for the same price you can buy 10 bottles of this and spray all day!

Not for beginners but when you wear it you feel like owning the place and complement magnet people texted me after meeting me just to ask what I was wearing, you were smelling so good .

After one year this is now much better also projects stronger. If you want higher quality then get oros pure leather gold, but this is still damn good, considering the price.

Fucking love it !! Worth the money Update: used this today and man I really got so many compliments about this one, its a booomb 🔥🔥

90 % close to the og , just missing sweetness from the rasberry note.

Not for children I would say it's a big man scent💯👊🏾

I discovered this fragrance, along with Jean Lowe Immortel, while searching for Louis Vuitton clones. From what I could gather, this line of fragrances by Maison Alhambra is regarded as being some of the best, if not the best, clones of LV fragrances. Ombre Nomad was a fragrance that stuck out to me at the LV boutique, so I figured I would pick this one up along with Immortel (L'Immensite clone). As with Immortel, it's worth noting that they changed the name of this fragrance from Ombre to Noir. My bottle says Noir, and there's a separate entry on Fragrantica for Noir, but this is a more well established entry so I figured my review would reach more people here. They are the same fragrance, just renamed. With that said, let's get into it; Scent: The opening is woody, smoky, and floral. The primary notes I get are oud, incense, rose, and saffron. The strongest of the notes are the oud and incense. The oud in this fragrance is not your typical mild designer-type oud, it does lean more niche/middle-eastern. It's a strong, funky oud and will pop you in the face from the first spray, but it's not super animalic or "fecal". The incense is, again, not your typical designer offering of incense. It is intensely dark and smoky, leaning into what some people consider "churchy". Imagine sitting in a room with a burning stick of incense, that's the type of incense you'll get here. This is followed by the rose and saffron. The rose is fairly realistic smelling; i've smelled way more synthetic types of rose accords than what I find in here. I would say this rose note walks a fine line between being powdery and jammy. The saffron rounds out the opening with the typical warm, spicy, and slightly leathery accord that it's known for. The raspberry is also noticeably present in the background and offers a distinct fruitiness, but it takes a backseat to the rest of the notes in the opening. The dry down is woody, ambery, and smoky. The primary notes I get are oud, incense, amber, and rose. The oud and incense still have the same accords from the opening, as does the rose. The difference here is that the amber has risen to the top to provide a resinous sweetness in the background. The saffron is still there as well, but isn't as loud as it was in the opening. I couldn't pick up the raspberry at all in the dry down. Performance: Initial projection is nuclear and easily fills the room when I walk in. Sillage matches that with a heavy scent trail that can't be missed. After a few hours the projection was still around 6 feet and the scent trail was still easily noticeable. At the 7 hour mark the projection and scent trail were unchanged, still going strong. Even at the 12 hour mark the projection was about 4-6 feet and the scent trail was still easily noticeable. It probably would have continued for several more hours had I let it, but I had to get some sleep. Even still, I could smell this on my skin 24 hours later. This is easily one of the strongest performing fragrances I've worn so far. When to wear: This is a fall/winter fragrance most suited for evening wear. Dates and formal occasions are where it would shine the best. I would not pick this to wear casually or to the office. Blind buy: This is only a safe blind buy if you enjoy strong oud and incense, or you enjoy that rose/oud/saffron middle-eastern type DNA. If you do like that, you'll love this. Final verdict: This is an excellent fragrance, provided you like this type of DNA. In regards to accuracy, I would say it gets about 90% close to Ombre Nomad. When it comes to performance it matches the original as well, this fragrance is absolutely nuclear just like Ombre Nomad. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to Ombre Nomad. It's hard to justify spending over $400 on a single fragrance, but $30 for a fragrance that gets this close to it? That's a no-brainer in my opinion. Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 10/10

Really nice fragrance. Not sure its super close to LV ON (but I only received it yesterday so maybe in a few more months after it has macerated). I would say this is closer to Noir de Noir by TF at the moment with it being it being very patchouli / rose forward. After I sampled the original back in June this year whilst away, I wasn't sure about it and it certainly was unique. This, at the moment, whilst is very nice, is quite generic. Maybe my nose, and I do like this fragrance, but I will report back in 3 months to see if it has changed at all. Edit: This is a compliment magnet!

First of all, Jean Lowe Ombre and Noir are the same. It’s a good alternative to Ombre Nomade. The original is synthetic as well as this clone, however LV did a great job blending the notes together. Jean Lowe is not as well blended. They are 90% similar, it’s hard to tell them apart in the air. Projection and longevity are still insane regardless being a bit worse than the original. This is true beast mode. €18 vs. €360 for 100 ml... nah. I’ve sold my original bottle for this one. LV is just not worth it.

I just got this a few days ago, I probably need to wait for the scent to macerate, but I personally can’t quite like it, not bad, not good. But the scent lasts for around 14-16 hours on skin, to the point I got sick of it. I think a friend of mine might like it.

Honestly, when I bought this I had no expectations. Complete blind buy for me. But I was pleasantly surprised at the performance. Got about 3 compliments on my 1st wear. A colleague said it filled up the room as I entered. So far so good.

same exact frag as nomade for a 10th of the price

To my nose this is a unisex fragrance which is getting better as time passes. Oud and incense are there at the opening but after 10 minutes the main scent is the rose. I only paid €17, so for that price it's ok.

More harsher version of ombre nomade Not worth it honestly MUST TRY BEFORE BLIND BUY Not very simmilar to nomade [70%] Performance is a beast tho 9/10 longevity 8/10projection 4/10 scent profile Not For Me.

بوی گلاب و عطر مشهدی کلا بوی حرم میده شاید آقایون سن بالا و مداح ها خوششون بیاد ولی به شدت سرد درد آور و گرمه ; تو این لاین مشابه لویی ویتون ها یکی این عطره یکی هم هست به اسم فرش که مشابه نواماند لویی ویتون هست که اون هم بوی گلاب میده

Imagine yourself surrounded by burning car tires with oud. That's the smell you will get by this fragrance.

"On my left wrist, I wear the original Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade – a symbol of luxury and uniqueness. On my left wrist, Jean Lowe Noir, a scent that tries to imitate the same aura. At first glance, or rather, at first whiff, almost identical. But when I wear them, something much deeper happens. With Ombre Nomade on my skin, I feel more than just a fragrance. It’s like carrying a power that radiates from my very core. I feel regal, as if I’ve stepped into a world where courage and confidence reign. It’s a feeling of invincibility, as if every decision I make is the right one. It’s that invisible crown I wear on my head. On my right wrist, Jean Lowe Noir, though it smells the same, is merely a shadow of this experience. It’s like having something valuable, but without the emotional depth, without that magical energy that elevates you to another level. I’m not just wearing a scent, I’m wearing a story, an experience that has a soul. A perfume like Louis Vuitton’s isn’t just about how it smells – it’s about what it stands for, how you feel when you wear it. And that difference is indescribable. I feel it deep within my soul – something more than fragrance. It’s a feeling of power, self-respect, and uniqueness that no imitation can replicate." JL noir is very good clone. For 30€ price, you smell exactly the same like LV, but the feeling is not the same, i can tell. 10/10

This is like a mediocre version of Ombre Nomade. More harsher version of Ombre Nomade, I would say. Keep in mind that it is not a clone of Ombre Nomade and that they are not that similar, far from it. They are really quite different fragrances, so if you really want to buy the perfume thinking that it "serves" as a substitute for Ombre Nomade, no, it doesn't. Sometimes we try to "sell" that since it is so cheap it is good and you don't have to buy the original. In this case it is not true. IF you like this fragrance, it is not bad, but the quality of ingredients and the overall smell is not that of a quality fragrance and of course it is not Ombre Nomade at all. But it's true that if you don't have money to spend, this is not a "bad" fragrance and it can give you the "vibe" of the original.

I bought my bottle in 2020 when this was known as the Ombre Nomade killer and I'd agree, no need to splash near £300 when this does 90% of the job for £20. Granted it take at least 3 months for it to become some good juice, initial sprays where just started off with a massive waft of powder. Monster performance, 2 sprays will last you easily 10 hours of good projection.

I get slightly burnt leather, smoke, rose, a little sharp oud in the very background (definitely not animalic), and slight tart sweetness. I can see what other people are seeing when they talk about it smelling like raspberry. Very nice. You have to enjoy a little smokiness, because the sweet smokiness is prominent.

This one just wasn't for me. It was also a blind buy so I'd be happy if someone else to have it. No box. Hardly used.

Rob-B-29 I believe you have switched the order. This fragrance now ships as "noir" and PREVIOUSLY it was "ombre".

Might have to cop myself a bottle. How close is it to LV ombré nomad?

This has been re-named as Maison Alhambra Jean Lowe Noir.

When will Jorge perfume be added?
