Ameer Al Oudh

Bottom Line

Ameer Al Oudh is a very good budget alternative if you like the Black Afgano concept. It's not a perfect replica. The cannabis note isn't as refined, and the synthetic touches are apparent. But at a tenth of the price, that's forgivable. If you’re curious about the Black Afgano vibe and don’t want to drop serious cash, give this a try. If you demand absolute perfection and natural ingredients, stick with Nasomatto. This one is for the value-conscious fragrance fan.

First Impressions & Dry Down

Ameer Al Oudh aims squarely for Black Afgano's brooding intensity. The opening tries for that dark, herbal cannabis vibe, but it's noticeably greener and sharper. Think "cannabis leaf" rather than the resinous bud. The heart gets closer, with a mix of resins and wood that evokes the original’s dark core. I pick up a slight tobacco sweetness that’s a little more pronounced here. The drydown shifts toward a smokey, incense-infused oud. It lacks the depth and smoothness of Black Afgano, displaying some synthetic edges. I'd say it captures around 91% of the original’s essence.

Longevity & Projection

Performance is where this clone shines . It projects moderately for the first 2-3 hours, creating a noticeable scent bubble. Longevity is decent; I get about 6-8 hours on skin. On clothes, it lingers even longer. It’s not beast mode, but it’s solid .
