Toro Pour Homme

Being a big fan of TDH Parfum, Eau Givree, and Intense Vetiver, I was really impressed with this perfume. For me, it has been quite a while since I've smelled the OG TDH, so I can only compare it to the TDH Parfum. First, there's nothing synthetic smelling about this fragrance, (obviously, it has synthetics in it like every perfume out there). But you're not getting some weird lemon pledge or something like that.Not at all. Straight away, I get that sour flint note from the OG with the citrus top, grapefruit, orange oil, and some bergamot. The pepper is there too. For me, the OG is a weak performer and I'd say this isn't better or worse. After that initial opening, which creates a very nice-smelling bubble around you for a short period of time, it goes quickly into a skin scent. Lots of ISO Super at play. If you like any of that DNA, it's an easy blind buy. For me, the quality is nearly the same as the PArfum, which is the only thing I have to compare it to at the moment (and they are similar in scent profile). Perfomance also seems to be the same, maybe projects a bit more than the Parfum, and I'll likely not buy the Parfum again because of how similar the profiles are.

#976 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I just realized this the 64th bottle of Maison Alhambra I've purchased. More than any other perfume maker. And I've only passed on six. This is a great dupe of Terre de Hermes, the EDT, not the Parfum. I actually gave away the Parfum as it was kinda simple and uninteresting compared to the more complex Eau de Toilette, and I gave away the Eau de Toilette, as I did almost all of the EDTs I purchased, over performance. The performance here is more satisfying than the Hermes EDT, but not up to the level of the Parfum. Still, makes it too lunch, barely, but I only paid $16 dollars for this so can't complain. If you haven't experienced Terre de Hermes at all, this is one of your many choices to do so on the cheap. Sapil Legend, which I got for $15 is a more exact copy. Rasasi Fattan cost me $23, but it's also close enough. It's a citrus aromatic scent, a little on the sour side, but I think works anywhere for any purpose. So pick one of these very wearable scents. They're all safe blind buys.

Edit: Something interesting happened today. Got another bottle of this for a ridiculous price online, for about 9 euros. Straight out of the box, i sprayed it a couple of times, left two sprays on a napkin and put the bottle away. The napkin in my room kept projecting to me further inspecting it. And i just might believe, that this batch has a better performance, both longevity and projection wise, brand new and without any maturation, than my other bottle which has been sitting on my shelf for at least 2 years. Not only that but the scent smells more ''rounded'' out, they slightly enhanced the pressurizer and the cap is a bit tighter - than my first bottle. And it has not matured yet. Goes to show the variety in batches, but this is for sure a love now from me. I'm a TdH lover and this one of course lacks the smooth quality of the original, but still, who needs TdH when you have this for 1/10-1/15 the price point.

I got my hands on two fragrances over the past few days, Nobody Knows by Zara and this one (Toro by Maison Alhambra), and was very surprised how well they layer together. Toro by MA has an elegant orange opening but this is not your usual citrus blast. It's classy and stylishly not zingy. The grapefruit adds a sourness but doesn't take away the rind-like orange loveliness. As it dries down you get a slight spicy pepper and a comforting dose of deep vetiver. Bloody yummy! The real revelation came when I paired Toro with Nobody Knows, it became a whole new beast. The orange notes of Toro remain over the top as NK dries down to add coconutty complexity and palo vibes. You end up with a luxurious orange-wood-leather concoction I think you can wear all year round. Beautiful, powerful, unisex and safisticated. An absolute winner 🏆

Toro Pour Homme by Maison Alhambra is, for me, the biggest surprise from this house—especially since their fragrances usually struggle with projection. Here, however, the scent opens with the crisp, earthy-citrus DNA of Terre d’Hermès, executed with impressive balance and clarity. If Fattan by Rasasi has long been considered the top Terre d’Hermès dupe, Toro Pour Homme easily competes with it in quality, while being even more affordable and coming in a generous 100 ml bottle.

I'm usually not a fan of mature scents, but this one is the exception. I always liked TDH, smells classy, serious, sofisticated. But my gf hates mature fragrances with a burning passion, so i thought i'd never be able to buy TDH. Once this clone appeared with great reviews and a $13 price tag i had to jump on it. This is very similar. A bit more orange citrus and less vetiver actually makes this slightly less mature, which is a pro for my gf. She still doesn't like it, but at least she doesn't hate this one which means i'll be able to use it. Performance isn't great, but i wasn't expecting great performance from a freshie. This one lasts about 4-5 hrs on skin, which for the price is more than enough.

Wearing today in the office. Got two compliments from executive staff. Very similar to TdH. A very good inexpensive clone. Considering when it came out and how accurate many new clones are today, I wasn't expecting much. I was definitely surprised. Definitely office safe. The vetiver is prominent. Nice realistic citrus with a rind touch. For the price, it clearly outperforms the price. I will check back in for longevity. Currently it has been hours and it is my personal bubble is still noticeable. Feel free to use extra sprays. I am enjoying the scent. I do use many clones to experience this art and this is a good one. That being said, smell TdH before just blind buying.

Honestly this a great alternative to the OG the only difference is the OG is more smoothly blended and the orange blast you get in the top notes is more natural, the vetiver is slightly stronger and rougher in Toro. In the air it's identical, I would even say Toro last longer too, projection is about the same, I guess it depends on how much you spray. Also the OG is a little more extra and not by too much. I'm a 40+ male and have a rugged appearance, I pull it off well, this scent in my opinion isn't for everyone, you have to have a certain vibe, but I also believe in wear what you like how you like 👍🏻 10/10

nicochacin - brilliant review, by the way, and I agree with pretty much everything you said. You've described the nuances of this brilliant fragrance and, as a fellow fan of TDH, this has plenty to offer in its own merits as an alternative if you want the vibe of TDH although it isn't 1:1 the same. A slight disagreement on the sillage and performance. I think it has quite impressive longevity and trail, especially if compared to TDH EDT. Although Toro is in no way as good as TDH, I think its performance is slightly better.

Second review on this but I just have to say, this stuff is amazing! I love TdH and I would say it is one of my favourite fragrance profiles of all time. But this stuff is up there and I'm saying that seriously. This has complexity and depth like TdH, and it has the longevity and sillage. What's not to like? If you like TdH, you should be scooping this up by the bucket-load. Not all of it though, save some for the rest of us!

Terre d'Hermès EDT clone and I think I prefer this one to my Rasasi Fattan. Sharp dirty orange and grapefruit with some vetiver already in the open, peppery geranium in the heart bringing out the earthiness, into a base of lots of vetiver with accompanying cedar and patchouli. It's a fantastic Summer scent that I think will probably inspire people to pick up a bottle of TDH as well once they get to know the profile.

My cousin gave me a small vial of the original Terre D'hermes when I was a kid, I absolutely fell in love with it. Ever since I've forgotten the name, while scrolling through fragrantica I found this dupe, I'm found out it was Terre D'hermes that my cousin gave me, so I finally bought this. Smells exactly the same as I remember, and it's very very nice. 9.5/10, whish it was a little stronger

From my experience, only get this to spray on yourself before you meet someone or go to a function. This lasts under hour with one spray and if I overspray, it's not much longer than that. Bottle is great and so is the atomizer. This perfume costs about $14 where I live, but I could get this scent cheaper going into one of the perfume oil shops.

This is an extremely well done TDH clone. It isn't 1:1, but it captures the DNA quite well. The opening citrus notes recreate the orange zest like bitterness and grapefruit sweetness really well, but it lacks the depth from the flint. It also has a heavier vetiver in the dry down. Solid projection for 2 hours and lasts up to 8 hours on my skin.

Citrus bomb! A nice all-purpose spring/summer scent. A pretty accurate clone of Terre de Hermes for less than $20, so this is hard to beat. Lasts 4-6 hours with light projection. It's inexpensive, so overspray to your heart's content. This is a really nice warm weather, casual, office scent. Good bang for your buck. Would I buy again? Yes.

Very good alternative to THM but with more Citrus opening, the vetever is very nicely done in this one. Huge alcohol blust for 5 Seconds the. After it settles doy. Can't go wrong for $18 clone with nice presentation and sprayer. Lasts on me good 6~7 hours with great projection for 2 hours. Mature Fresh and Soapy Rating: 8/10

Vale muito a pena no lugar da sua referência There de Hermés, conheço a referência e posso dizer que em cheiro não há grandes mudanças, e sim na performance que essa sim é mais fraca porém pelo custo benefício justifica uma reaplicação a cada 4 ou 5 horas. Frasco bonito robusto e fixação interessante perde na projeção. 7/10

I can't say enough about this one, not for the younger crowd in my opinion, this is a older man's freshie, I personally grab for this the most in summer, I will even wear it in cooler days, the vetiver and dirty citruses are just a 10/10 all I can say is you won't regret purchasing this one, casual elegance in a bottle

Can't really comment on how close to the Hermes this one is, since I'd have to recall tdh from memory ( but if I were to rely on memory, I'd say I can't recall terre dhermes smelling any different :) ), but overall it's a very pleasant smell, performance is not bad at all.

I disagree with the votes. In my opinion the sillage is strong on this one and to me the longevity is long lasting. When I first smelled this all I could smell was vetiver but now I get mostly citrus. Honestly this stuff is very underrated. 8/10.
