An Amberley Pur Oud by Maison Alhambra fragrance sample gets you close to Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal for a fraction of the price.

An inspired fragrance

This is Maison Alhambra's take on Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal by Gerlain, and reviewers who've smelled both put it close, not identical.

It feels like polished wood in a dim library: labdanum, amber, and soft oud glow with warmth. The sweetness is restrained and the finish is smooth.
