Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Body Musk by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is a crowd favourite unisex musk with a high score (4.5/5 from 228 votes). The composition centers on pure musk as the top note and moves into powdery, slightly animalic and mildly sweet territory, with soft floral and woody whispers reported by many wearers. It often reads as clean white musk with a soapy or skin-like character, making it a discreet personal scent suited to daytime and close-contact settings. The broad approval from voters and frequent praise for lasting power explain its wide use among both men and women.
Our take
I own several musks and Body Musk is one I reach for when I want something safe and reliable; its clean white musk and powdery sweetness sit close to skin and last well, especially in oil form. I appreciate how non-offensive it is for office wear and how it layers with other fragrances, but I also find it a bit too familiar when I want something with more personality. If you want a dependable, long-lasting musk, this is a strong option; if you want drama, look elsewhere.

The Bottle
Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Body Musk comes in a compact, narrow rectangular bottle with straight sides and rounded shoulders, holding clear or nearly colourless liquid. Its dark rounded cap and broad gold-coloured collar give the small format some presence, while pale symmetrical ornament and a central emblem make the front busier than necessary. It is distinctive, though slightly comical in scale.
Original or Clone
Body Musk has clear reference status: its musky, powdery, animalic character has prompted three interpretations from two houses. That attention matters because each one is an attempt to be this particular fragrance, not merely another musk. We do not have comparative evidence to say how any of them performs or resembles it, so we regard the original as the more defensible purchase on standing alone. A reader choosing an interpretation is making a reasonable choice.
