Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Oud Radiance scores 7.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Oud for Happiness.

Mod 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.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $40 it costs 88% less than Oud for Happiness.

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 Mod 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

Initio Oud for Happiness is bergamot and ginger at first, licorice, oud and cedar at its heart and vanilla, herbal notes and musk at the end. Mod Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • ginger

Heart

  • licorice
  • oud
  • cedar

Base

  • vanilla
  • herbal notes
  • musk
Zesty ginger and licorice brighten smooth oud, cedar and vanilla for an upbeat woody warmth.

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