Al-Khat is the definition of a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, with its intensely animalic oud and indolic jasmine splitting opinions down the middle. This is a powerful, uncompromising scent for those who dare to be different, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

Match Perfumes No.31 dupes Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur, a spiced vanillic musk. The bergamot-lavender-cinnamon opening is a fair echo, but the amber-vanilla heart is sweeter and less nuanced, and the musk base fades sooner than the original's famously long, skin-warm trail.
