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.

Anna Sui La Nuit de Bohème is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Anna Sui's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Released in 2014, La Nuit de Bohème arrived at a time when many mainstream brands were blending bright fruity-floral openings with darker oriental elements like oud and amber. Anna Sui’s feminine fragrance opens on citrus and blackberry before moving into a heart of agarwood (oud), rose petals and lotus that leans floral-woody. The base settles on amber, patchouli, cedar and a creamy vanilla orchid, so the overall profile reads as citrus-forward and fruity at first, then woody and resinous with a clear rose presence. It holds a 3.9/5 average from 260 votes and is generally liked by fans, though reactions to the drydown and projection are mixed.
Our take
I like the bright citrus and blackberry opening and how the rose and oud give the heart weight; the amber, patchouli and vanilla orchid drydown is creamy in a pleasing way. Longevity and projection vary by skin, which matches the split voting, and it can go soapy or sharp on some people. Overall I find it interesting and wearable for evenings, though it won’t please everyone.

The Bottle
Anna Sui La Nuit de Bohème has an unusually theatrical bottle: its apparent pale rose-gold, highly reflective surface covers a broad sculptural lower form with two flower-like decorations. The ornate butterfly topper and raised “ANNA SUI” neck band make the silhouette far more memorable than a plain rectangular bottle. It is lavish, distinctive packaging, though undeniably busy.
Original or Clone
The original earns the stronger case here because the bottle is part of its appeal, not an interchangeable container. Its rose-gold reflective surface, sculptural flowers and butterfly topper give this citrus-floral, fruity fragrance a recognisable object to accompany it. That standing is reinforced by the fact that two houses have attempted to reproduce it, making La Nuit de Bohème a reference point rather than an obscure release. The available comparison cannot tell us which interpretation most resembles it, so a reader choosing one is making a reasonable choice.
