Toscano Leather extremely weak

Actually, the Maison Alhambra Toscano Leather was my first love in the direction of leather scents. The Toscano Leather in the old bottle was very close to "Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford." I really loved it and subsequently bought the original.

The Smoky Touch has likely undergone a reformulation with the current bottle.
I had it sitting here for about 2 years because I was really, really disappointed when I first applied it back then, thinking it was a completely different scent than the Toscano Leather.

The raspberry has been extremely toned down, and instead, it has become smokier. The leather is still recognizable, but everything is overall rather unbalanced and diluted.

Unfortunately, it doesn't last on my skin at all; with great effort, it maybe lasts an hour.

I have no idea what happened here....
If it had been the same scent in a new guise, it wouldn't have made any difference, but this is not the same as what was in the Toscano Leather in the OG bottle.

I pulled it out of the shelf after almost 2 years and tested it again against the Toscano Leather, letting my wife compare them blindly. She also believes that it is not the same scent.
So yes, from the base, it is in the same ballpark, but one is more fruity sweet with leather, while this one is just smoky and weak on the chest.

Unfortunately, a disappointment.
Fortunately, I was able to find another Toscano Leather on eBay. And I'm also testing the "La Yuqawam pour Homme | Rasasi," which is said to be very similar, and the Italian Leather to see how they are when they arrive.

The Smoky Touch is unfortunately being discarded.

Very Close to Its Role Model

I definitely need to write a detailed review about this alternative to Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum from Maison Alhambra. A great line from Lattafa that replicates the TF Private Blends quite well. While it’s not quite the quality of this expensive line, it smells significantly more luxurious than the demanded €15-20. Here you get this fantastic raspberry-leather theme that was very trendy a few years ago and there were quite a few dupes from the Arab world. Even today, this timeless leather construct is wonderfully wearable and has a very elegant touch. If you like this Tuscan Leather and don’t have the money for the original: this one is extremely good, and especially the top note can definitely compete with the original with its noble leather note. While this theme is not extremely mass-appealing, it is quite special, so it stands out from the crowd. I own two bottles of the old line, which is called Toscono Leather. Now Smoky Touch, but it is certainly identical to all the others with a new name as well.

The old bottle design was, of course, a bit too bold, which was probably an eyesore for Tom Ford. Be that as it may, the new bottles with the same content do the job just fine. They may not be real eye-catchers, but the fragrances are definitely worth it. Currently, you can get 80ml for around €15, which is fantastic.
The scent starts off just like the original, with hardly any differences noticeable in the top note. A layperson would certainly be completely overwhelmed trying to find the original here. However, this leather-raspberry opening is extremely successful. A slight tobacco note with subtly dark vibes also spreads. This leather-raspberry combo with a hint of saffron spice is particularly prominent in the first hours, and other notes do not come through. As it progresses, soft woods gently mellow this a bit. There’s also a very mild sweetness in the background, which pairs wonderfully with the soft leather. It’s already a lovely mild DNA that can make a powerful impression, especially in the evening, with this luxurious leather craftsmanship. The first hours are somewhat more special, like the original, and the base becomes noticeably softer and more sensual as usual. The differences to the original are rather small at first; the original has more power and a bit more depth towards the end. However, the price difference in this amount is never justified, so this brand delivers once again. If you don’t need this TF status symbol, you can make a good catch here.
The performance is really strong, and this one impresses with many hours of longevity, and the sillage of the top note is very strong and leaves an impression. This is most suitable for the evening, but it’s also not completely wrong for everyday wear.

I like this entire line from Alhambra. It’s already a great alternative if you don’t want to venture into the three-digit € range. Thumbs up!

A powerhouse that lasts for hours!

This is what I call a "caution fragrance," which requires a delicate touch when spraying. Its longevity is almost unbelievable, and the sillage could fill entire halls!
If not used sparingly.
The scent itself is wonderful, just as an "Oriental" should be for me. There are plenty of spices, from anise to cinnamon - in between, all sorts of exotic notes like allspice, cardamom, and possibly turmeric. It’s hard to pinpoint everything exactly.
Paired with myrrh, incense, and balsams, it smells like being in a bazaar in Marrakech or Riyadh - or wherever in the East. Various woods like cypress, cedar, and "agarwood" deepen everything further, and "leather" (birch tar) adds its inky note.
There might also be some musk and patchouli, as I occasionally encounter slightly "earthy" and "fresh-animalic" scents.
I am not familiar with the "original" from Tom Ford. However, this "Maison Alhambra" is definitely a fantastic niche fragrance that is a true "powerhouse"!
