The Scoop
Oud Al Mubakhar captures the incense-forward character and rosy heart of Aoud Damascus quite well, making it a respectable dupe for those seeking the original's contemplative aesthetic. However, the clone's oud projection feels more linear and less nuanced, lacking the original's delicate balance between the floral elements and the woody base. The longevity and sillage are comparable, but Rasasi's interpretation trades some of the original's sophisticated complexity for a more straightforward oud-driven composition.
Key Differences
The clone emphasizes oud more prominently throughout, reducing the prominence of the safflower and gurjan balsam complexity found in the original. Aoud Damascus offers greater aromatic depth and a more refined incense accord, while Oud Al Mubakhar delivers a more accessible, oud-centric interpretation.

What wearers say
“Oud Al Mubakhar is a very strong EDP with a very nice price. It is a very oriental/spicy fragrance that lasts a very long time. It starts out with a blast of saffron and rose. On me the dry down is a very nice rosy/musky scent with a touch of patchouli. If you like strong Oriental scents then this one is for you. I wore it this morning since it's cool here in South Florida BUT next time I will wear it at night. Take it easy on the trigger, since a little goes a long way.”
“After strong and sharp beginning you get lovely, oriental, rosy scent. It's not a sweet rose to me, rather dry and metallic, but I like it because it's so different from any other rose fragrances I know. I'm amazed by the sillage and longevity. When I use it I can smell it in my office even the next day.”
“Picked this up as my first oud. It is very intense, strong, long-lasting. Rose is the dominant note, like some kind of a rose balsam. Got it for $10. Incredible value, preferably to be worn by older gentlemen or gentlewomen as my grandmother used to wear a similar fragrance.”
