The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Atkinsons.

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.
Oud Save The King is a 2013 release from Atkinsons, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie for women and men. The composition opens on Earl Grey tea and bergamot, giving a citrusy, bergamot-lifted tea top. The heart pairs suede with orris, which brings a powdery iris and soft suede-leather character. Agarwood (oud) and sandalwood form the base, adding dry woody depth and creamy wood warmth. The combination yields a powdery, woody oud with leather and iris notes and a subtle musky backdrop. It is well rated by the community (4.33/5 from 1,050 votes) and is frequently noted for its long wear and winter suitability.
Our take
I find this one interesting and well built. The Earl Grey opening feels true to tea and gives a bright start before the suede and orris bring a dry, powdery center. The oud here leans woody and clean rather than animalic, and sandalwood adds body. Longevity and sillage meet expectations for a winter night piece, though the powdery iris can feel a bit dusty on warmer skin. Fans of woody, tea-forward oud will like it; those wanting a sweeter or more opulent oud might find it restrained.

The Bottle
Atkinsons Oud Save The King has a broad, upright rectangular bottle with rounded corners and an opaque metallic-gold or warm-bronze appearance. The large black circular plaque, thin light outline, crest and lettering give the front a theatrical focus, while the broad patterned gold-toned cap adds character. It is distinctive rather than merely conventional.
Original or Clone
The strongest case for buying the original is authorship: Amandine Clerc-Marie is credited with composing it. That gives Oud Save The King a specific creative origin that an interpretation cannot share, even when it aims at the same fragrance. The three houses represented in our tracking also show that this powdery, oud-led, woody scent has attracted attention. On the evidence available, that combination makes the original the more defensible purchase, without pretending to know how closely any interpretation resembles it.
