Best Initio Oud for Happiness Dupe
Infini Oud Joyous captures the spicy-floral opening and rich oud heart of Oud for Happiness quite well, with similar bergamot brightness and saffron spice in the top notes. However, the clone shows slightly less depth in the base, missing some of the original's creamy vanilla undertone that gives it additional warmth and longevity. The overall composition mirrors the original's structure effectively, though the clone tends to feel a touch drier in the mid-stage.
The clone lacks the full vanilla richness in the base, resulting in slightly shorter longevity (approximately 6-7 hours vs. 8-10 hours for the original). Sillage is also moderately lighter, projecting about 15-20% less potently than Oud for Happiness.
