Customer Reviews
I actually own both, and to my nose, there is a noticeable difference in the opening. Gentleman Givenchy Reserve Privée has that distinct whiskey note that’s missing from Maison Alhambra Exquisite Privé. However, once they reach the dry down—around the 3-hour mark—they become remarkably close, with Exquisite Privé even smelling just a touch stronger to me. That’s why, for me, Exquisite Privé gets more wear. It gives me a very similar experience at a fraction of the cost, while I save Reserve Privée for those special evenings when I want the original. Either way, both are excellent fragrances.
