Eau Sauvage?
This is a stunning product.Hope my review can help.I can tell I have tried a lot of parfum in my young life of 30 now. Also I worked in a sensory lab for a short time and my nose is mostly very sensitive to some smells and odors.
I bought it in Germany for 140€ after comparing it to Dior- Eau de Savage and Acqua Di Parma- Essenza di Cologna and many others.Those two are damn close to it.Try it yourself! Dior is more green and more intense in the nose, smells chemicaly and not that tender. Just not as good as Oranger Alhambra. Essenza by AdP is more spicy, made vor men and has a longer lasting I remember.Would give it place number 2.
Oranger Alhambra is more tender, more bitter Orange and Bergamotte, Oak moss in the drydown and super fine herbs that remember me of a soap you find in the Venetian Hotel Macau/China. Here comes the point. More soapy, clean and lighter then the other two. A bit more sour! Maybe more female but I still prefer this on a man.
I dunno whats the secret ingredient here but it puts this Scent miles in front of the others.Must be the Oak moss with some other herbs, like the italien Soap I had in the 5 star Macau Venetian Hotel.So similar!After leaving Macau 18 month ago now i smell on my Oranger Alhambra and can still feel the sun on my skin on Taipa Island. Really made for a summer evening on a nice beach or an italien Garden of Capri Island maybe. Sorry I am dreamin again.
Well.It has a soso longevity,ok. The other 2 do better but are maybe to aggressive to some female noses. The Bottle looks stunning! And the Dark Brown stone as lid is the eyecather in my flat.Next to another Prive.BRAVO Armani!

Echt Koelnisch Wasser meets Eau Dynamisante!
Every once in a while, it seems that some perfume house releases a "high class" version of an old standard for people who wouldn't be caught wearing an old standard. Apparently, Armani Prive' Oranger Alhambra is for people who would like to buy their cologne at Barney's for $115 US or at Selfridges for 82 GBP (100 ml).

I dabbed a little on this morning and noticed its resemblance to ECW, which to me is a pleasant Oma and Opa (grandma and grandpa) smell. It's not surprising, as ECW's notes are bergamot, orange, lemon, lavender, rosemary, and neroli - quite close to those of OA. And then I forgot about it. Three hours later, I asked myself, "Did I spray myself with Eau Dynamisante this morning?" As OA settled down into its mossy, herby patchouli phase, I don't think I could have told the difference in a blind test. Unsurprisingly, the notes in Eau Dynamisante are listed as coriander, caraway, orange, lemon, carnation, cardamom, rosemary, and patchouli.

So, while OA is quite a pleasant scent, I think I'll just spritz on some Eau Dynamisante ($50 US for 100 ml at the Clarins website or approx. $30 US on eBay)and pocket the substantial savings!
