The review
Worth a try. That is where Happiest Aoud lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Oud for Happiness.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud for Happiness's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Oud for Happiness — the 4th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
