The Scoop
The Aoud by Paris Corner captures the essence of New York Oud's oud-forward structure and fruity-floral opening quite competently, with comparable spice and citrus brightness. However, the clone tends to soften the original's more assertive patchouli and slightly sweetens the middle notes, resulting in a less complex and refined composition. Longevity and sillage are noticeably lighter than the designer version.
Key Differences
The Aoud exhibits reduced projection and longevity compared to New York Oud, and lacks the original's depth of orris and honey complexity in the heart. The base oud presentation is more linear and less nuanced, though the overall structure remains recognizable.
