Amouage Guidance vs Maison Alhambra Perseus Exclusif

Maison Alhambra Perseus Exclusif has most of Amouage Guidance's accords, but not at the same strength, so it reads as a near match rather than a copy.

They share 9 of Amouage Guidance's 11 main accords: woody, gourmand, fruity and warm spicy.

Maison Alhambra Perseus Exclusif costs about 8% of the price, around €24 against €307.

Maison Alhambra Perseus Exclusif fades sooner and sits closer to the skin.

What you give up: pear, hazelnut and olibanum, which Maison Alhambra Perseus Exclusif does not list.
