Afnan 9 PM bottle

Why we recommend it

The opening is crisp apple rather than Ultra Male’s juicy pear, alongside familiar lavender and spice. It settles into sweet vanilla, amber and tonka, bringing the two back into similar territory after the fruit fades.

Lattafa Ramz bottle

Lattafa

Ramz Silver

Close dupe

Pear and lavender give the opening a familiar Ultra Male character. Sweet vanilla and musk take over as it settles, with a simpler, slightly sharper drydown than the original.

Maison Alhambra Glacier Ultra — front-facing product bottle

Maison Alhambra

Glacier Ultra

Inspired alternative

Glacier Ultra follows Ultra Male's pear, lavender and cinnamon direction, with mint and citrus adding freshness at the start. Vanilla and amber connect the sweet drydowns, with cedar and patchouli grounding the alternative. The notes don't establish equal strength or persistence.
