Ramad Oriental

Hello good people of Fragrantica, I’ve had Ramad Oriental by Arabiyat Prestige for a couple of months now. I bought it alongside Rayhaan Terra to compare both to my Outlands sample. Cutting straight to the point: Ramad Oriental is a closer, better-blended, and more refined dupe of Outlands. In my opinion, there’s no question about it. If you have all three and do an objective side-by-side comparison, you’ll likely reach the same conclusion. It’s very close to Outlands, though not identical. Neither Ramad Oriental nor Terra fully capture the depth and richness of Outlands and realistically, at around 1/10th of the price, you shouldn’t expect a perfect match. 1) In terms of similarity: - Ramad Oriental ≈ 80-85% to my nose - Terra ≈ 75–80% From the first spray, you can notice the refinement and better blending in Ramad Oriental compared to Terra. 2) Performance: - Longevity: 2–3 sprays easily last around 7 hours - Projection: Good for 2–3 hours 3) Gender lean: Slightly more masculine than feminine, but clearly unisex 4) Wearability: Autumn, Spring, Winter, and cool Summer evenings. Who should consider buying Ramad Oriental: - If you love Outlands but don’t want to pay full price → you’ll be happy with this 1/10th cost alternative. - If you tried Outlands but found the opening too spicy or harsh → Ramad Oriental is smoother and easier to enjoy. Who should skip it: - If you’ve tried Outlands and didn’t like the scent profile → Ramad Oriental isn’t likely to change that. Overall, Ramad Oriental is a well-blended, affordable, and satisfying alternative to Outlands, with great performance and refinement compared to Terra.

Outlands is my signature scent. When you have had Outlands on for about 5/6 hours, that’s what this scent is trying to imitate. It also does so very well, and is only slightly off. This however will never take Outlands place. For one, the slight bit that it’s missing compared to the original is extremely important. It’s missing some of the spice and other noted that gives the dry down such a beautiful roundness. There is also no journey through the wear, and it sits very linear. Performance is about half of the original (still 7/8 hours) You can definitely tell that it’s of lesser quality as well. HOWEVER With all of that being said, this is fantastic. Way more mass appealing and is what I wear if I am going to be face to face with clients first thing in the morning. The profile has become one of my favorites, even if this doesn’t have quite the same magic. As a clone 8/10 As a standalone scent 7.5/10 (Will keep a bottle in my collection considering price, but doesn't excite me nearly as much as the original) Wife - 6.5/10 (Thought it smelled nice, and doesn't mind me wearing it. She definitely prefers clean freshies like imagination. Doesn't like it enough to ask me to keep it in the collection) Will keep a bottle on my shelf as long as I can find it.

Literally heaven I think this is my new favorite in my collection seriously! I dont know but theres just something about this fragrance and the way it hits my nose XD. I dont really know how to describe such a complex scent to be honest... im still a fragrance noob but this smellls so fresh, clean, yummy, spicy, creamy, rich, unique, etc.... its pretty much the ultimate all in one! Its like when this hits my nose my nose just feels like its being opened and tickled lol. Ive been wearing it at work lately and a lot of my co-workers think its amazing too! Idk why people say this fragrance doesnt last? This is one of the strongest in my collection! I like to spray it on myself when im just chilling at home, and i will smell it for hours without going nosebllind. If i spray my clothes it will last for a day maybe more! Overall this is a very amazing fragrance ad i never expected it to be! this was my first fragrance with incense in it and i am hooked!

OK I finally got my hand on this hype beast. I've never actually smelled Outlands, but this is such a wonderful fragrance the opening of cumin and the spices are a joy. Kinda good idea to have just this DNA in your collection. However like I said in the beginning I haven't smelled Outlands, but this isn't Outlands not by a long shot, if you have smelled African Leather or Afro Leather this is the same dam beast of a fragrance with more fruit and sweetness, which is working but ultimately the same DNA with a twist. After I 1st smelled this I was was 100% African Leather with a twist, all this hype for that! Now by no means is African Leather a bad fragrance but for the price point & hype of Outlands and African Leather isn't cheap as is. Hat's off to the hyper out there, but this is African Leather but only sweeter

I've had this for a month or so, and I've held off on the review because clones tend to need to macerate before you know the true end result. When I first got this, it was very weak in longevity and silliage, but after a month, this starting to perform really nicely. It's not beastmode, but it lasts a long time, and projects nicely for the first few hours, and then becomes a scent bubble. I do not have the OG, but I really enjoy this one, as it is different from everything in my collection. All the things people are saying this smells like aside from the OG, does not smell like any of them. This is very unique and could be a great spring/fall/winter signature scent. This is easily an office banger, as it will not choke anyone out, and you will not smell like anyone else. 8.5 out of 10 - Total Banger.
