Why 24 Carat Pure Gold works as a Nepal Aoud dupe
Nepal Aoud is built around Oud, Saffron, Sandalwood. Lattafa's 24 Carat Pure Gold shares its most recognisable notes, Oud, Saffron, Sandalwood, which is why it earns an 83% shared-note match, at $32 instead of $170. A dupe shares key notes; it isn't identical, and the dry-down and longevity can differ. But for the signature everyone notices, that match is what counts.
Where 24 Carat Pure Gold differs from Nepal Aoud
The match is on the shared heart, Oud, Saffron, Sandalwood, which is the part most people actually recognise. Beyond that, 24 Carat Pure Gold doesn't carry Nepal Aoud's Patchouli, so expect that accent to read softer or go missing, especially in the dry-down. If Patchouli is the part of Nepal Aoud you love most, this dupe gets you close rather than all the way, so smell it on skin before you commit.
