The Scoop

French Avenue's Happiness Oud captures the spiced opening and floral heart of the original reasonably well, though the oud base feels slightly less refined and woody. The clone maintains the warm, inviting character but lacks the subtle complexity and depth of the designer's composition, particularly in the dry-down where the original's oud presence is more nuanced.

Key Differences

The clone's oud note is more prominent and straightforward, lacking the balanced sweetness of the original. Longevity and sillage are slightly less impressive on the clone, with a faster fade after 6-7 hours compared to the designer's 8-10 hour projection.

What wearers say

β€œSmelling it from the atomizer, it smells like a tasty breakfast sausage. I know, weird. When you spray it on, that disappears. I know it's probably something subliminal in the name, but you get a happy citrus, gingery, woody scent. After wearing it once, I changed it from a like to a love. And I get about 18 hours on my skin. Clothes will smell like it for days. You can wear it year round, though if you're going to be out and about on a smoldering hot day, I would avoid.”

β€œThe only difference between this one and the OG is in the dry down, a little less woody, but overall it’s great. And also own the original, just in case.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
β€œThis smells different--I like it. Can't really put my finger on what I'm smelling here in the open? Dries down to sour fruit plus smoke plus light oud. Finishes as a powdery oud. Lasts all day (15 hours and I can still smell it). Strong projection -- pretty sure you'll fill the room if you overspray. Would I buy again? Probably not. I like but don't love. Inexpensive, so this is good value for your money if you're into this sort of thing. This scent is perplexing; I might have to wear it a few more times before I render a final verdict?”
