The review

Lion's Club Courageux scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Oajan.

Armaf sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oajan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $47 per 100ml it costs 85% less than Oajan — the cheapest of 6 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf 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

Parfums de Marly Oajan is saffron, honey and bergamot at first, rose, jasmine and oud at its heart and vanilla, amber and sandalwood at the end. Armaf set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • saffron
  • honey
  • bergamot

Heart

  • rose
  • jasmine
  • oud

Base

  • vanilla
  • amber
  • sandalwood
Golden honey and saffron drape over rose, oud and vanilla for opulent oriental warmth.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
