  • sometimes they could be better, I have noticed that Lattafa has frags that are inspired by twists of many popular frags, but they also have their clone brand, Maison Alhambra, case in point, Kismet for men, is a twist on YSL Tuxedo, but they also have Maison Alhambra "Tux" , which is obviously cloni

  • Kismet is a clone of ysl tuxedo but I think tuxedo is pretty hard to find, if you can find rochas moustache anywhere it smells quite like it.

  • The ones I have from maison alhambra are kismet magic and kismet (ysl tuxedo clone) and baroque rouge all 3 smell incredible and almost identical to the OG's, I believe that maison alhambra is the only middle eastern brand that gets most of their clones 1:1.
