Why Dark Aoud works as a Oud Wood dupe
Oud Wood is built around Oud, Rosewood, Cardamom. Maison Alhambra's Dark Aoud shares its most recognisable notes, Oud, Rosewood, Cardamom, which is why it earns an 82% shared-note match, at $30 instead of $395. 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 Dark Aoud differs from Oud Wood
The match is on the shared heart, Oud, Rosewood, Cardamom, which is the part most people actually recognise. Beyond that, Dark Aoud doesn't carry Oud Wood's Amber, so expect that accent to read softer or go missing, especially in the dry-down. If Amber is the part of Oud Wood you love most, this dupe gets you close rather than all the way, so smell it on skin before you commit.
