Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

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

At $122 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Royal Oud — the 10th cheapest of 12 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

What it is chasing: pink pepper, lemon and sicilian bergamot up top, cedar, angelica and galbanum in the middle, sandalwood, agarwood (oud) and musk underneath — the shape of Creed Royal Oud.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • lemon
  • sicilian bergamot

Heart

  • cedar
  • angelica
  • galbanum

Base

  • sandalwood
  • agarwood (oud)
  • musk
For the one who commands the boardroom with restraint, wearing a dry, peppery, refined oud built on clean cedar and sandalwood.

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 13 twins of Creed Royal Oud we can price, Sovereign Agar is number 11 on price per 100ml.
