The review
On paper, Grateful is a strong bet if you want Rose Oud for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rose Oud's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Rose Oud — the cheapest of 2 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 HK Perfumes 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 saffron and bergamot, turns to Turkish Rose and oud, and settles into patchouli, musk and amber. That is the brief Grateful is working from.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- Turkish Rose

Base
- patchouli
- musk
- amber
Jammy Turkish rose over resinous oud, the oldest pairing in perfumery done richly.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of By Kilian Rose Oud we can price, Grateful is the cheapest per 100ml.
- 01 HK Perfumes Grateful $89/100ml
