Precious Gold

Got this as a Marc Jacobs dupe to perfect intense and it’s spot on! Went to ulta and sprayed mj on one arm and then this on the other, no difference. Longevity is great too. Such a smooth scent. Really well done. This is definitely fine for daytime wear and even an Office safe choice for an intense perfume. Save your money and get this! The bottle is cheap though, mine arrived with a broken cap so the cute little charms don’t stay on anymore. But for $20 can’t complain when the scent is equivalent to its designer inspiration. They also have a dupe of the regular non intense version that I plan to buy. Maison Alhambra does it again. I absolutely love their perfumes. I haven’t gotten a dud yet!

Not bad at all, I own Yara moi and love that scent, so I was like, well, let's try Maison Alhambra version of perfect intense. It is pretty, is it 1 to 1, or more like 92%? I wish they was more almond to it because I don't get that as I spray, I get a little skrechy to it, but in dry down, it gets less loud and very soft jasmin with a hint of almond. It's meant more for a fall fragrance, but today it's a cold, rainy day in Massachusetts, so I think it only feels right. I am feeling like adding some Whipped Almond Mix: Bar and top it off with The White Cloud by Maison Alhambra, that's going to be my combo for the am routine.

I love this. It's very fruity with a shampoo vibe. I'm not getting almond cookie or anything mentioned in other reviews. For me this is very sweet and fruity, it reminds me of pear or kiwi juice. This reminds me of the OG Perfect alot actually, I've never smelled Perfect Intense but I've always said the OG smells like kiwi and fruity shampoo. This also reminds me of Emir Pear Potion, except that one is stronger and sweeter with a brown sugar undercurrent beneath the tangy pear. This is like a more refined version of that. I would definitely repurchase this, I already plan to get a few backup bottles.

There's something addictively buttery about this scent. Not in the literal "butter" scent, but the creaminess of the almond. It reads almost baked good in a lusciously delicious, almost gourmand but not quite way. The jasmine really elevates the scent and prevents it from being too gourmand. It's sensual, yet understated! It's floral, nutty, and creamy. I've never smelled MJ's Perfect Intense, nor do I feel the need to. This smells SO good. It was also 13 dollars on fragrancenet. BTW, read @GameSpitta's review. Hilarious and spot on.

This is really a dupe for Marc Jacobs perfect intense. I have both and they smell very simular. I can almost smell a banana note? It is fresh, clean, light. Long lastning. Not big projection. Its very close to the skin. But I smells clean girl vibe , but a perfume clean girl. Its really nice. The Narcissus and almond is the big notes I sense. Jasmin is in the background almost not there. Fresh clean, light, 100 % feminin. I would say this is safe to blind buy. This is not strong Its very classic.
