La Voie

Scent Review Comparison: La Voie & My Way I love the scent profile of My Way so when I saw Maison Alhambra's version I had to try it! Keep in mind not all inspirations/schmoops are made the same but I have found Maison Alhambra's to be a good house. If you are not familiar with the brand it is a sub-bramd of Lattafa which makes some of the most popular viral scents! In short, My Way is a sophisticated white floral flowerbomb! I love florals - rose, muguet (aka lily of the valley), tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, gardenia, hyacinth, magnolia, lilac, etc. On a test strip, My Way is deeper and perhaps more refined. If you have a trained nose you can smell the different notes. To me, it is a classically modern take on florals - not heavy on aldehydes like some classic scents but I think this one will stand the test of time. On a test strip, La Voie is brighter and juicier, if that makes sense. Do you get the different notes? I don't, I just get a glorious vivid and succulent tuberose in every possible way. Is it as refined as My Way? To me, no. However, I am 100% fine with that! On my skin, My Way turns into more of a skin scent. It is soft but there is a deepness to the notes. It is a lush and beautiful scent. La Voie is much more aromatic and luminous. There is a scent bubble. It also lasts hours on me compared to My Way. I truly adore them both! I haven't layered them yet but that will be my next step. Do you need both? Of course not but if you enjoy My Way's scent profile and are looking for a more wallet friendly alternative (3.4oz for under 20!) then I highly recommend La Voie!

LV came to live in the cold dark closet early June. After learning that I really like tuberose, I took a sniffing venture & smelled MW, yes plz. I decided on this based on reviews & performance of my other Alhambras. Performance was not very good then & I layered with Fakhar Rose all Summer. I wore that combo a lot, mostly out at night or indoors. Fakhar can be cloying in our heat & humidity, so I had to be careful. I could only wear alone on short outings bc it wouldn’t last. Honestly I didn’t care bc I am in love with this dna. This is a beautiful white floral with a heavy bubblegum tuberose. The musk and cedar ground the sweet in the dry down. I have worn 2 days on its own to review. I got 4 hrs tops on skin, less than 8 on my clothing. In its defense, it has been pretty cool here. I got hints of it as the sun warmed it in the car, yet I didn’t smell it while still indoors. So I am thinking by Spring this will be able to go a full out on its own. This will not be in hibernation, I will continue to layer, & get some use bc I really love how it smells on me. It is an easy reach, great for every day wear, & work place easy. It just needs some sitting time if you can be more patient than I 10/10

Let’s start with the presentation: The bottle is very beautiful- sturdy heavy glass bottle with a very good quality blue marbled cap. Now coming to the juice: The juice is bright pink coloured. It starts off with a citrusy note which settle into a beautiful bubblegumy tuberose. In the base it has vanilla, musk and cedar. But to my nose I cannot get cedar. Overall it’s a very playful bubblegum fruity perfume. The colour of juice aptly represents the perfume. It’s a very feminine girly scent. I won’t wear it to a formal occasion, since it’s not a very mature scent. So I would recommend this to someone who’s below 25 years. Sillage and projection is very good. It’s quite long lasting as well (6-7 hrs easily). And for the price, it’s totally worth it. I haven’t tried my way, so can’t comment on how much similar this one is to my way. And to my nose, it’s shares it’s dna with Lattafa fakhar rose and slightly with Lattafa silky rose mohra.

One of my few fav Arabic dupes! I wanted a bubble gummy tuberose, that was a spot on dupe for My Way, and this is it!! Though I enjoy the my way perfumes, This type of dna? Is simply NOT wortha my way prices!! I’ve had the most luck (in regards to Arabic scents) with fragrances from Alhambra! And if you read my bio , m still searching for a bubblegum tuberose with spices 😢 still haven’t found it and this is a lot sweeter than the tuberose in alien fusion! BUT I feel like with the right layering scents? And will get closer! So I ordered some ginger cinnamon amber perfume oil (what this scent misses are spices to be close to alien fusion) so bought this perfume to layer with indie spicy perfume oils! Definitely a fun scent alone or to layer with darker denser wood or spice scents! I think all seasons it’s good for just not the hottest humid days! Love it! Great dupe!!

Smells exactly like “My Way” which is what I was hoping, the atomizer is so bomb, what a great sprayer and the bottle is so cute lol, now let’s get to the bad.... This lasts 1 hour on skin 1-2 hours on clothes... no longevity to speak of. I’ll let it sit for a month and come back these are my findings after a week. Update 9/1 so I lied yall... this does project you will go nose blind, but I got compliments at church, by my mom and dad in the car, so I would say it extends past arm length which is Very impressive for a fragrance that I spent $20 on. So now I know with all these Arabic perfumes squirted a few times, Let it rest for about a week or in this case five days and then try it. I promise you, you will be surprised. Side note I’m smelling this on my skin 6 hours in and my mom is saying that she smells me across her bedroom so this thing is still projecting
