Philos Messenger

I own Sceptre Bronzite and today my friend showed me this one, I'm pretty sure Maison Alhambra just used the same juice for both, since I couldn't find any difference between them. If you're trying to pick one between these two, I'd go for Philos Messenger since it has a better atomizer. I don't understand the difference in their rating here either, since they are literally 1 to 1. I don't know either Vibrato or Tygar to state the similarity with the real one , but I love the smell of this. I get around 6-7 hours on my skin

I have vibrato and this is closer than Turathi Blue, although this does not last or project nearly as long, It was also $25 less. if you find this for less than 20USD or hell, even 30 it is worth it, you will just have to reapply every 3-5 hours, but reguardless, it is a lovely recreation and has stopped me from using my vibrato like it's not $300AUD a bottle. Longevity: 4.5/10 Projection: 6/10 Scent: 9.2/10 Overall: 7/10

I had a Vibrato decant and this is very close. Smells of very good quality which is surprising for a cheapie from alhambra. Sillage and longevity are both above average which is impressive for the scent profile. 9.5/10. If you're looking for a Vibrato cheaper alternative look no further. Honestly I'd buy this over Vibrato because of the price difference.

This is honestly the closest to vibrato that I've smelled, the only difference I notice is that vibrato has a slightly deeper musk and darker grapefruit but messenger has a slightly brighter grapefruit. Its soo close and worth the fraction of the price of vibrato.

Not sure about the hate for this one, this is a banger dupe. I have a decant of Vibrato and this is 90% there for $30. It comes off stronger than vibrato, is less complex but it does the grapefruit - amber - musk profile very well, albeit linear. Try this!!

Incredible performance for a Maison Alhambra. I usually do not get great performance from their fragrances but this is beast mode off my skin. Smells very close to Vibrato as well. Great value!

It smells like Bvlgari Tiger, Vibrato Sospiro, Athar and turathi Blue. But it is light and has a light scent, not as strong as the others I mentioned.

Insane value for money. Pressurised atomiser, glass bottle, smells great and lasts straight out of the box. Very close to vibrato, maybe more airy.

testing a decant. Opening starts with ginger and citrus. ginger fades after a few minutes to just the citrus. It reminds me a lot of Jean Lowe Azure or Afnan Turathi Blue, but less musky. Turathi blue lasts longer, so buying a full bottle of this or Azure would feel redundant. It lasts about 5 hours on my skin, moderate projection. I have not smelled Tygar or Vibrato, only comparing it to others it reminds me of. Overall, it is a nice fragrance that keeps the citrus throughout the fragrance.

The performance is not great, but the scent is very close to Vibrato.

Smells like a slightly sharper Jean Lowe immortal. Almost identical to me. My bottle is quite strong so it’s clear that there are quality discrepancies with different batches. I have to be careful about overspraying. 3 sprays is plenty with mine.

It smells OK, but it's weak. I've had mine since last summer, it has macerated... still needs a respray every 3 hours or so. It's great for around the house. I have Vibrato & I have Junoon Oud, which is a much better Vibrato dupe.

It’s alright just not very pleasant. Comes off a little harsh and sharp I would get a different dupe of tygar, I recommend Maison asrar majesty. 4.6/10

The scent is nice but smells very synthetic to me. Smelled great initially and now it kind of sickens me. Not the safest blind buy imo.

Great Smell. Terribly Performance

Terrible I agree with the review below, this is really bad and nothing like Vibrato. Instead its like some soapy, aldehydic grapefruit water that doesn't project and lasts about 3 hours, low quality garbage. 3/10

Just disregard all the positive comments. Only people who never tried Sospiro Vibrato and its dupes will tell you this is good. Either go for Arabiyat Prestige Aariz or save your money for the OG. This is bad even as a standalone and it smells just like any grapefruit flavoured sparkling water. Sillage is almost nonexistent and lasts around 5h tops. This goes on my top 5 worst dupes list.

Never smelled Vibrato but this smells great. A little sprite-like but with some florals in the background. Longevity was pretty good for the $30 I got, but my batch was 5 months old so it could vary. Projection was good, enough so like 5 sprays people around me could smell me. Maceration could probably help though. 8/10.

This perfume feels somewhat weird; It would benefit from greater longevity and more natural, higher-quality notes it has a very common scent that has been used and copied by many fragrances, so I don't recommend it.

This is really nice for the price , please do watch my video on this one before buying, I gave my first honest impression on YouTube , link below: https://youtu.be/_si9r4K7zFQ?si=g732BHDVJUDIqj58
