What wearers say
“This is perhaps the only dupe I’ve ever been impressed by. Very close to the original. I would describe it as a more gourmand version of the OG, and not as nuclear in terms of longevity and projection. Great price, I’ll be using this as a daily edition.”
“Obviously super hard to dupe Outlands as its so complex, and Amouage uses extremely high quality of ingredients. However, Ramad Oriental does come somewhat close to the dry down of Outlands. If you can get past the quite harsh, very spicy opening of Ramad Oriental, after half an hour it becomes almost addicting to smell, just like the dry down of Outland. Highly recommend it as it does definitely scratch the itch of Outlands (mostly the addictive dry down), but I have not tried the other dupes available.”
“A more ambery version of African Leather with the opening spices turned down and then vanilla added to add even more mass appeal. Doesn't match the original in performance but only a few MFK'S, Clive Christians and definitely most dark toned Royal Crown fragrances will outperform the original. I remember back when nothing outperformed Amouage, but those days are long over.On the scent itself, tone down the heavy spice and aromatic leather from Memo's Aftrican Leather warm up the resins and expect about the same longevity and projection. That has been my experience with the fragrance!!!!”
