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.
Arabian Knight is a men's amber-citrus spicy fragrance from Arabian Oud released in 2010 and created by perfumer Olaf Larsen. At its core it is an amber-forward composition brightened by citron and a hint of jasmine at the top, with a heart of cinnamon and rose that supplies warm spice and floral body before settling into amber, vanilla, cedar and musk. The profile reads as creamy, powdery amber with citrus lift and a woody-vanilla drydown. The juice is well rated (4.31/5 from 291 votes) and is commonly described by wearers as smooth and easy to like.
Our take
I enjoy Arabian Knight for its clean, warm amber backed by crisp citron and a soft cinnamon-rose heart. The 58% love rating matches my sense that it appeals to many; longevity tends to be excellent while projection is more modest, so it works well as a near-skin daily scent or a long-wearing office option.

The Bottle
Arabian Oud Arabian Knight comes in a broad, vertically oriented rectangular bottle with tapered sides and rounded lower corners. The amber-brown liquid shows through the transparent or translucent body, while a large gold-colored cap rises in a wide, stepped silhouette. A pale-gold shield- or medallion-like emblem and spaced title add formality. It is a distinctive bottle, though the body itself remains conventional.
Original or Clone
Olaf Larsen's credited authorship gives Arabian Knight a reason to remain the reference among interpretations. Its amber, citrus and cinnamon accords make clear the kind of fragrance being reproduced, while Larsen's composition remains the named work behind that profile. The bottle's unusual cap and emblem add a further reason to buy the original when the object matters as much as the fragrance. We track interpretations, but the evidence supports the original's authorship rather than any claim about resemblance.
