Allure Homme Sport with a lot of self-confidence.
At first, I didn't believe it, but now I've tried Allure Homme Sport at the local perfumery, alongside Al Dirgham. And indeed - they are very similar. However, it's not a simple copy; Al Dirgham has a few aces up its sleeve.
The top notes of Al Dirgham are noticeably sweeter and zestier, with hints of Fanta. The top note is described here as tangerine, while in AHS, it's orange/mandarin - I can attest to this 100%.
In the heart note, AHS is slightly floral with neroli that complements the top note well, along with a hint of pepperiness. In contrast, Al Dirgham pulls out the big guns: Instead of a subtle neroli, we have lily of the valley, jasmine, and a strong tuberose - a very bold move, considering there are quite a few "tuberose haters" out there. Additionally, instead of light pepperiness, it's more like a whole gingerbread with cloves and cinnamon.
In the base note, both fragrances are vanilla-creamy, but AHS' base leans towards amber, while Al Dirgham is more musky.
Overall, Al Dirgham is a stubborn AHS with a lot of self-confidence. People who it appeals to will love it, while others might feel offended.
Due to its more intense notes, Al Dirgham lasts longer and projects further, but it can come across as slightly synthetic.
The price speaks for itself: 19 euros versus 110 euros.
