Worth a try

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Black Oud lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Aoud.

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

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

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Paris Corner 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: mandarin orange and rose up top, rose, oud and patchouli in the middle, labdanum, musk and agarwood underneath — the shape of Montale Black Aoud.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • rose

Heart

  • rose
  • oud
  • patchouli

Base

  • labdanum
  • musk
  • agarwood
For the one who wants a dramatic, animalic rose-and-oud with old-leather labdanum, an accessible gateway into dark Middle-Eastern oud fragrances.

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