Farewell Tom!
Maison Alhambra has launched a cherry fragrance that smells very intensely cherry-like and slightly marzipan-like. It is said to be inspired by Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum. In my opinion, Forbidden Love captures the fragrance impression quite well. However, the longevity here is really strong. As is so often the case with fragrances from Maison Alhambra.
The cherry is synthetic, but in a good way. Has a nice spice/depth and never gets squeaky or tiring. Some aging is good for the fragrance, it becomes even stronger. The longevity is also above average, which contributes to the fact that you will still smell cherry and some bitter almond/marzipan hours later.
Price-performance is a grenade here. The old bottles, which are no longer available, were very bold and very close to the original. The newer ones are rather ugly in my opinion, but would stand up to any copyright lawsuit.
Why you should afford the massively (too) expensive Tom Ford fragrances when you can find really good alternatives here is beyond me.
MA has completely different "boards" in stock. So far they are not listed here. I'll just say "Dark Aoud", "Toscano Leather" etc.
Conclusion: Say goodbye to Tom and say hello to Alhambra. It's worth it.

Sehr cool! š Sind denn die alte Version und die neue vom Duft her identisch? Oder wurde mehr geƤndert als der Flankon?

Ich habe die neuere Version des Flakons. Der Duft ist wie gesagt tadellos kirschig.

Soweit ich weiss wurde nichts reformuliert. Der Flakon war aber sehr nah dran. Kenne die alten nur von einer Tuscan Leather und einer Oud Wood Variante von Alhambra. Die Flakons hatten sogar ne bessere QualitƤt als die von TF.
