Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

At $23 it costs 96% less than Aoud.

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