Which Should You Buy?
Al Fareed is a decadent and opulent scent ideal for evening wear and grand occasions.
A budget take on Arabian Oud's Al Fareed. The sparkling pink-pepper-and-bergamot opening drying into powdery oud, musk and creamy vanilla captures the original's polished woody-spicy oud; this dupe rounds off some of the refined oud and gives up much of Al Fareed's beast-mode longevity.

The powdery oud-musk-and-vanilla woody-spicy profile is at its best in autumn and winter and feels too heavy for hot summer days.
