Do you love the great classics of Western perfumery but find their prices prohibitive? Good news: Middle Eastern perfumery is full of impressive alternatives at a fraction of the cost. Here is our selection of 3 must-have Middle Eastern dupes for three iconic fragrances.
1. Lattafa Asad — The dupe for Dior Sauvage Elixir
Sauvage Elixir is one of the best-selling men’s fragrances in the world. Its intense woody-spicy accord, legendary projection, and exceptional longevity make it an absolute benchmark. But at over €150, it remains out of reach for many.
Enter Lattafa Asad: a powerful men’s fragrance that opens with vibrant notes of black pepper, pineapple, and tobacco before revealing an accord of warm coffee, iris, and resinous amber. The result? A memorable trail, long-lasting wear, and a depth that unmistakably recalls Dior Elixir.
- Olfactory profile: Warm spicy, woody, ambery
- Gender: Men
- Advantage: Affordable price, powerful projection
2. Sharaf Blend — The dupe for Kilian Angels’ Share
Kilian Angels’ Share is a luxurious gourmand fragrance evoking oak-barrel-aged cognac, with notes of cinnamon, praline, and vanilla. A masterpiece costing over €300.
Sharaf Blend brilliantly captures this rich, gourmand DNA. Its accord of cognac, oak, and creamy vanilla offers the same enveloping warmth and sweet woody trail that made Angels’ Share famous. An impressive alternative for lovers of sophisticated gourmand fragrances.
- Olfactory profile: Gourmand, woody, liqueur-like
- Gender: Unisex
- Advantage: Remarkable olfactory similarity
3. Rasasi Hawas — The dupe for Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua
Invictus Aqua is the ultimate reference among fresh, aquatic men’s fragrances. Its marine freshness, citrus notes, and woody base make it a must-have for spring and summer.
Rasasi Hawas perfectly captures this aquatic, sporty spirit. With its fresh marine opening notes, aromatic heart, and musky-woody base, it offers the same energy and freshness as Invictus Aqua, with a Middle Eastern touch that gives it a unique character.
- Olfactory profile: Aquatic, fresh, woody
- Gender: Men
- Advantage: Ideal for spring and summer, excellent value for money
