Clones and dupes inspired by:

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

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
Boucheron Patchouli d’Angkor 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 Boucheron'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.
Nathalie Lorson is a seasoned perfumer known for clear, structured compositions that often pair fruit and white floral facets with modern woods. Her work for Boucheron in 2019, Patchouli d’Angkor, is a unisex woody-oriental that leans on a pronounced patchouli core layered with pear and bergamot in the opening, a jasmine heart threaded with bourbon pepper, and a dry down of white musk and guaiac wood. The scent reads as woody and musky with a white-floral sweetness and a warm spicy undertone. With a 3.97/5 average from 214 votes, the fragrance is generally liked but prompts divided reactions over its powdery aspects.
Our take
I like the way the pear and jasmine make the patchouli feel cleaner and softer than usual; the white musk keeps it neat rather than dirty. That said, the opening can feel oddly powdery on me and heats up badly in warm weather, which will bother some people. Longevity tends to be good and projection moves from moderate to strong in the first hour, so it works well for daytime fall and winter wear. Overall I find it an interesting, wearable take on patchouli, not a must-have but worth trying if you like creamy, slightly sweet patchouli.

The Bottle
Boucheron Patchouli d’Angkor has a tall cylindrical bottle whose straight sides rise to rounded shoulders and a broad, stepped clear-looking base. Its pale ivory, largely opaque liquid and large white cap give the object an unusual visual quietness, while the gold-toned collar and bordered white label add polish. We find this bottle distinctive rather than routine.
Original or Clone
Nathalie Lorson’s authorship gives the original a reason to matter beyond a matching brief: Patchouli d’Angkor is a specific composition, not merely a list of woody, patchouli, white-floral and musky associations. The bottle also has genuine presence, with its pale opaque-looking liquid, white cap and stepped gold-toned collar. We track two interpretations from two houses, which confirms that this fragrance has attracted attempts to reproduce it, but the credited perfumer remains the clearest case for buying the original.
