Maison Alhambra Zaffiro Crafted Oud — front-facing product bottle

Maison Alhambra

Zaffiro Crafted Oud

Inspired alternative

Zaffiro Crafted Oud shares Carved Oud's earthy woods, but its description places oud up front rather than cardamom and cypress. Guaiac wood adds a drier accent through the middle. Patchouli, vetiver and musk connect the finish, while the original also highlights iris, sandalwood and vanilla.

Borouj Lamasat Oud perfume bottle

Borouj

Lamasat Oud

Inspired alternative

Lamasat Oud shares Carved Oud's woody, earthy direction but puts oud at the front, where Carved Oud opens with cardamom and cypress. Guaiac wood adds a smoky accent before patchouli and musk take over. The original's softer iris-and-vanilla facets are less clear in the alternative's description.
