The review

On paper, King Agarwood is a strong bet if you want Nawab of Oudh for less.

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

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 64% less than Nawab of Oudh — the cheapest of 1 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 Perfume Parlour 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 bergamot, aldehydes and orange blossom, turns to magnolia, rose and labdanum, and settles into oud, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief King Agarwood is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • aldehydes
  • orange blossom

Heart

  • magnolia
  • rose
  • labdanum

Base

  • oud
  • sandalwood
  • musk
Saffron and magnolia laid over oud and amber, opulent Eastern wood with English tailoring.

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