Oud for Happiness Eau de Parfum bottle
Oud for Happiness Initio Parfums Privés
£206 EDP

Divisive but undoubtedly distinctive, Oud for Happiness is either a vibrant, uplifting spice-bomb or a 'rotting animal corpse' with a hint of 'jerky chicken'. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it.

What makes a good dupe?

A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.

We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
