The review
On paper, Night Wood is a strong bet if you want Black Aoud for less.
Perfume Parlour 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.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $83 per 100ml it costs 54% less than Black Aoud — the 2nd 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 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 mandarin orange and rose, turns to rose, oud and patchouli, and settles into labdanum, musk and agarwood. That is the brief Night Wood is working from.
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.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 6 twins of Montale Black Aoud we can price, Night Wood is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Lattafa Oud Mood $30/100ml
- 02 Perfume Parlour Night Wood $83/100ml
