Pink Eclipse

This is how you smell like Elle Woods when you don't have two Jimmy Choos to rub together. I avoided Maison Alhambra for a long time because their earliest dupes had tacky and embarrassing names and bottles. I didn't expect to be impressed by this, but it was really cheap in the store, so I thought I didn't have much to lose. When I wore this for the first time, I didn't have many floral fragrances. I usually wear fruity, aquatic, or aromatic scents. I applied six sprays (two behind each ear and two on the back of my neck) and walked to my favorite open-air market. I didn't get any compliments that day, but I know I got some stares because this stuff is LOUD. If you're like me and thought "white" florals were supposed to be light, airy, dainty, delicate, and wispy like the softest, fluffiest cloud... Girl, no. This is about as delicate as a punch to the face. I wouldn't wear this to the office; it's too potent for that. It's bright, young, girly, and fun. It's perfect for a night out, not a board meeting. You WILL be noticed when you wear this, so go easy on the sprayer. Six sprays was FAR too much. I couldn't wait to get home to scrub this off. Two or three spritzes are all you need, trust me. The longevity is excellent, too. I sprayed this on at 8:00 today, and by 11:00, it was still projecting strongly off of my wrist. I like this scent, but I gave it a "LOVE" rating because of its exceptional performance. You gotta try this!

When deciding to try perfume again I had to get to smelling to decide what I liked and could handle. So I hit the department store & Sephora. Paradox stuck to my sensory memory, but at the time I couldn’t find a good affordable alternative. I can’t remember where/when I first discovered this, but I jumped as soon as I did. I have tested side by side with the og & I think this is a lil stronger(scent wise) than the og but not as strong as the intense, closer to intense. When I first got her she didn’t last too long. In 5 months it has doubled its longevity, but she has always let her presence known. I am ready to be able to wear her in the day time, still been too hot & humid for day wear. I can’t overspray or I choke me out, lol. She is heavy on the florals but sweet with vanilla and amber. The citruses punch at first, but only a second before they blend in with the beautiful white florals. This is great for layering. I loved the packaging & bottle design. I am very glad I ordered this lil beast. 10/10

I bought a sample set of the OG ( Prada Paradoxe) for $40 and fell in love with this fragrance. I wanted a bigger bottle but it was way-out of my budget. I decided to try the Maison Alhambra dupe as they are usually spot on. This one is no exception. I literally cannot tell the difference and I get 4-6 hours of wear time, which was about the same as the OG. Save your money and get Pink Eclipse, it’s nearly 1:1

Such a pretty scent and For the price this is an absolute winner. It’s Prada Paradoxe/ PDM Athenais but for $30. Athenais has a bit more citrus in the opening and a creamier dry down but for a tenth of the price...wow. Layer with Missing Person and it basically covers the difference. Would definitely repurchase.

l just bought it but it's such a beautiful feminine scent. It's floral, a bit sweet, a bit powdery. l am already getting complements day 1. l will update the longevity after a while but l just used it today and l bought it yesterday and about 5hrs in l can already smell it. But 10/10 so far!!!
