I love the scent profile of My Way so when I saw Maison Alhambra's version I had to try it!
Keep in mind not all inspirations/schmoops are made the same but I have found Maison Alhambra's to be a good house. If you are not familiar with the brand it is a sub-bramd of Lattafa which makes some of the most popular viral scents!
In short, My Way is a sophisticated white floral flowerbomb! I love florals - rose, muguet (aka lily of the valley), tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, gardenia, hyacinth, magnolia, lilac, etc.
On a test strip, My Way is deeper and perhaps more refined. If you have a trained nose you can smell the different notes. To me, it is a classically modern take on florals - not heavy on aldehydes like some classic scents but I think this one will stand the test of time.
On a test strip, La Voie is brighter and juicier, if that makes sense. Do you get the different notes? I don't, I just get a glorious vivid and succulent tuberose in every possible way. Is it as refined as My Way? To me, no. However, I am 100% fine with that!
On my skin, My Way turns into more of a skin scent. It is soft but there is a deepness to the notes. It is a lush and beautiful scent. La Voie is much more aromatic and luminous. There is a scent bubble. It also lasts hours on me compared to My Way.
I truly adore them both! I haven't layered them yet but that will be my next step. Do you need both? Of course not but if you enjoy My Way's scent profile and are looking for a more wallet friendly alternative (3.4oz for under 20!) then I highly recommend La Voie!
