The review
On paper, Ouddiction is a strong bet if you want Oud for Greatness for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud for Greatness's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Oud for Greatness — the 17th cheapest of 20 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on lavender, nutmeg and saffron, turns to agarwood and patchouli, and settles into musk and amber. That is the brief Ouddiction is working from.
Top
- lavender
- nutmeg
- saffron
Heart
- agarwood
- patchouli
Base
- musk
- amber
For arrivals that echo. Saffron and mint blaze over deep agarwood and patchouli — regal, spicy and built to project for miles.
