Oud satin mood clone with an emphasis on the sweet rose
I own a sample of Oud Satin Mood Extrait de Parfum and have compared it several times with Emper Dark Oud. i tested Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum in the perfumery.

The differences:
◽Oud Satin Mood Extrait de Parfum smells of higher quality. Deeper, smoother, more balanced.
◽Oud Satin Mood Extrait de Parfum is soapier and woodier than Emper Dark Oud. For me, violets and possibly benzoin/oud dominate.
◽The sweet rose is more prominent in Emper Dark Oud. This makes the clone more inviting and gourmand.

The similarities:
◽Both smell fantastic in the air. Emper Dark Oud exudes a similar elegance in the air as the original.
◽Both fragrances have a strong sillage and longevity.
◽Both have a powdery, jammy vibe.

Who should buy Emper Dark Oud:
◽If you love Oud Satin Mood but can't afford the original.
◽If you want to try Oud Satin Mood with a sweet rosy twist.
◽If you're looking for a beastmode fragrance for the cold season.

Who should do without Emper Dark Oud:
◽If you adore the original and can't do without the exact scent profile or quality.

The best Oud Satin Mood Dupe I have tested and for just 8€
The year is slowly coming to an end and with Best Dark Oud I got the bargain of the year You can still get it for an incredible €8 in the black friday sale.

And the fragrance is even better than the price.
Super similar to Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum.
Of course, the original smells of higher quality and therefore a little better.
Nevertheless, the Emper is convincing and is really very difficult to distinguish from the original in the air.

My only criticism is the opening.
I perceive pungent benzoin and violets, it's almost like glue.
You have to get through that for 1-2 minutes.
Then this beautiful, powdery, sweet Turkish rose emerges.
Just like you know it from the original, Emper did a really good job.
The vanilla and amber, which to me smell more like lokum, are probably responsible for the sweetness.
So you shouldn't expect realistic vanilla/amber here.

In the DD, the fragrance remains quite sweet and powdery.
Benzoin and the floral notes are prominent and help to ensure that it never becomes too unbearably sweet.
Still, BDO is quite a sweet fragrance, so you should know that before you click buy.

Finally, I can smell this great locum rose in the air.
So a great dupe for the OSM towards the end too.

Very classy, somewhat feminine, but still unisex.

Perfect for colder days, for dates and for 8 euros certainly also for the supermarket :D

The performance is top.
On the first day I thought what a beast
After that, my nose probably got used to it or it's just a strong fragrance and not a beast, but that's enough.
Sillage is also very good, you definitely shouldn't overspray.

My conclusion: nice fragrance, but you have to like OSM to like this one.
The offer is probably only valid for a few days then the price will rise again, so be quick!
