Athoor Al Alam Muski

How it Smells

Athoor Al Alam Muski aims squarely for Lorenzo Villoresi's Teint de Neige, a powdery floral bomb. Initially, it's a decent approximation. The powder is there, a blast of sweet jasmine and rose trying its best. However, compared to the original's depth, this leans a bit more synthetic, a touch 'cleaner' and sharper. The heart offers a suggestion of tonka, but the florals remain dominant. The drydown aims for that heliotrope/musk cloud, and it gets close - perhaps 83% of the way. The original has a smoother, more blended feel; this has some rough edges.

Bottom Line

Athoor Al Alam Muski is a solid option if you crave the Teint de Neige experience on a budget. The original is a masterpiece, sure, but costs easily 10 times more. If you want the *essence* of Teint de Neige and are willing to accept a slightly less refined, more synthetic rendition, this clone is perfectly acceptable. A good buy for the powder-obsessed who don't want to break the bank.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is surprisingly good . It projects moderately for the first 2-3 hours, then sits closer to the skin for another 4-5. Teint de Neige, of course, boasts nuclear performance. Reapplication will be needed if you want that constant powdery aura.
