This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Soleil de Jeddah is a beast of a fragrance - potent, unique, and guaranteed to get people talking. Not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a masterpiece.

Light Wood targets SoOud's Nur - the powdery oriental amber with its herbal incense opening and orris-leather-vanilla drydown. The dupe captures the amber-and-powder heart but renders it flatter, with the sophisticated dry-down simplified and the leather softened, sitting closer to the skin than the well-projecting original.
