The Scoop
Aseel Special Edition captures the bright citrus opening and floral heart of Altair quite faithfully, with comparable oud and woody base notes. However, the clone tends to emphasize the oud slightly more prominently in the dry-down, creating a marginally darker finish than the original's more balanced composition. Longevity and projection are reasonably close, though the clone may lack some of the refined complexity found in the designer version.
Key Differences
The clone's oud presence is more assertive in the base, potentially overshadowing the delicate sandalwood-musk balance of the original. Slight differences in longevity, with Altair maintaining better performance beyond 6 hours.

What wearers say
“i love this perfumeoutstanding performance, one of the best arabian oud product, last for days, value for money, you will never regret after buying thisi just wanted to explore, i never find any fragrance similar to this in all over the KSAhighly recommended for all occasion, compliment getterprojection & longevity is fabulous.”
“Picked up this gem in Dubai and I absolutely love it. Has a sweet elegant (very unisex) projection and performance is super long lasting. I usually go noseblind but not this one baby. The juice is fire. My pillows still smell like it even after a full day.”
“This is tripple beast mode! PDM Althair was inspired by this fragrance and sinilarly Arabian Oud has created many unique profiles “e.g Basma - Br540” which have been replicated by Niche / Designers and they call Middle Eastern Houses “Clone House” lol. None of the Designer / Niche can match Arabian Oud Quality/ Projection/ Sillage for the Price. This is Steroids and Althair is regular Medicine! If u know what i mean!”
