Clones and dupes inspired by:
Asgharali's Oud Mubakhar is a modern powdery woody composition that feels steadfast and long-lasting, offering aromatic lift and a distinctly polarizing masculine presence.
The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Asgharali.

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.

Find the Original
Asgharali Oud Mubakhar 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 Asgharali'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.
The composition centers on agarwood (oud) presented at both the top and the base, with cedar in the heart that shapes a firmly woody core. This structure yields a predominantly woody scent with visible powdery and aromatic facets and a faint fresh-spicy lift from supporting notes. Branded by Asgharali for men, Oud Mubakhar is read by listeners as a modern woody-oud interpretation rather than a dense resinous oud. The release has divided opinion among wearers, and available ratings note strong longevity alongside mixed reactions to the presence and character of the oud note.
Our take
I find Oud Mubakhar interesting: it lasts very well and reads as a clean, powdery woody scent, but it does not deliver the raw, resinous oud I expected. The cedar heart gives structure and the powdery facets make it easy to wear, yet fans of traditional oud will likely be disappointed. Given the split feedback, I see it as a dependable woody option for those who want oud on the label but a gentler, more modern profile on the skin.

The Bottle
Oud Mubakhar’s bottle is clear and rounded, with a broad body narrowing into a narrower neck and holding pale peach-amber liquid. The wide, bright silver-coloured cap gives the otherwise plain transparent bottle its strongest visual punctuation, while the patterned-looking top and Arabic-style calligraphy add personality. It is a distinctive presentation, if not an elaborate one.
Original or Clone
The bottle gives the original a meaningful edge for anyone who regards presentation as part of the purchase: its broad reflective cap and calligraphic front make a stronger object than a plain vessel. The fragrance itself is presented in a woody, oud-led, powdery register, and a single house has tried to reproduce that character. That is some evidence of standing, though not a crowded field; on the facts available, the original earns the nod for its presentation and reference status.
