This one's a proper bargain, giving you high-end oud vibes without the eye-watering price tag. It's a powerhouse with strong projection, but beware: the raspberry and rose can be a bit much for some, so it's not a universal crowd-pleaser.

Perfume Parlour's budget take on Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja - a vivid passionfruit-and-saffron opening crashing into smoky oud, patchouli and a leather-amber-vanilla base. PP captures the tropical-meets-dark contrast that made the original a hit, but reads a touch rougher and flatter, with the niche's photorealistic juicy sparkle softened. A lot of that addictive fruity-oud signature for very little money.
