Roja Parfums Manhattan is an amber-spicy unisex fragrance built on a tobacco-and-vanilla core, with an aromatic bergamot/lavender/basil opening, a floral middle (Grasse rose and jasmine, heliotrope, violet, a touch of coconut) and a spiced woody base of clove, cinnamon, pink pepper, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, cedar, pine, benzoin and musk; it is widely loved for its warmth but criticised for weak performance against its very high price (~$346+). The clone landscape is thin: the one defensible pairing is The Dua Brand's 'Uptown', which Dua's own product page explicitly lists as inspired by Manhattan by Roja Parfums and which a Parfumo reviewer rated 95%+ accurate — a single detailed rating rather than a deep multi-thread consensus, so it is included conservatively at moderate confidence. A Maison Alhambra 'Club Exquisite / Exquisite Club' pairing circulates on commercial dupe-listicle sites (ScentVerdict), but the inspiration is never stated there, retailers disagree on its notes, and no independent source corroborates the pairing, so it is excluded.
