What Is Lattafa Eternal Oud a Dupe Of?

What is Eternal Oud a clone of?

Lattafa Pride Eternal Oud is a clone of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir EDP. The connection is in the amber, vanilla and resinous notes. Eternal Oud brings plum and oud into its own listed profile too, so there's more to this pairing than two identical note lists.

Why Grand Soir?

Look at the warmer notes in the pyramids below. Amber, vanilla, benzoin, labdanum and tonka bean appear in both profiles, although they're split between different stages. That's the most useful place to start if you're trying to understand the comparison.

Benzoin and labdanum sit alongside the sweeter vanilla and tonka notes. If that mix is what you like about Grand Soir, Eternal Oud belongs on your sample list. We'd pay attention to that combination as a whole rather than pick it solely because it has vanilla in the base.

Where do the profiles differ?

Eternal Oud lists plum and grapefruit up top, followed by heliotrope and orchid. The Grand Soir pyramid here starts with Spanish labdanum and orange, then lists lavender and Siam benzoin in the middle. One gives you a fruit-and-floral route into the warmer notes; the other lists citrus, lavender and resins.

Eternal Oud also names agarwood in its base. Grand Soir's saved base includes musk and cedar alongside amber, vanilla and tonka bean. The word “oud” on the Lattafa bottle doesn't make Grand Soir an oud fragrance, and the extra notes aren't a reason to expect an exact match.

Which bottles are we comparing?

This is Eternal Oud from Lattafa Pride, compared with Grand Soir Eau de Parfum. Grand Soir body lotion and cleansing products are separate purchases. Check the concentration and bottle size when comparing the original's listings.

Is Eternal Oud worth trying?

We'd consider it if you enjoy amber and vanilla or want to explore a Grand Soir alternative with fruit and oud in the mix. If you're buying specifically for resemblance, try the two together and give them time to settle.
