Sotoor WAAW

Accuracy Breakdown

The Scoop

Sotoor WAAW captures the spicy leather and tobacco heart of Oud Malaki reasonably well, with a similar woody-aromatic base structure. However, the opening lacks the herbal artemisia brightness of the original, and the oud projection feels slightly softer and less animalic. The overall composition mirrors the designer's dark, smoky profile but with slightly reduced complexity and longevity.

Key Differences

The clone's opening is less complex and herbaceous, missing the artemisia pop of the original. Base longevity and oud intensity are noticeably softer in Sotoor WAAW, making it feel less impactful in the dry-down despite maintaining the general scent direction.
