Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Al Waad inspired lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Promise.

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

At $33 it costs 90% less than Promise.

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 Bujairami 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

What it is chasing: cinnamon and cardamom up top, rose and agarwood (oud) in the middle, sandalwood, cistus and ambrette underneath — the shape of Frédéric Malle Promise.

Top

  • cinnamon
  • cardamom

Heart

  • rose
  • agarwood (oud)

Base

  • sandalwood

Cinnamon-dusted rose over oud and sandalwood — warm, spicy and enveloping.

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