Le Labo Rose 31

Oud Wood shares the woody, warm spicy foundation of Rose 31, with cardamom and pepper in the opening. Where Rose 31 centers on a cumin-accented rose, Oud Wood focuses on a smooth, non-animalic oud blended with sandalwood and vanilla. The result is a creamier, less floral woody scent that still carries the same resinous depth and evening appeal.

Prodigy echoes the warm spicy, woody amber structure of Rose 31, with saffron and pink pepper adding a similar aromatic kick. The difference lies in its suede and rose heart, which feels more leathery and less explicitly floral. The base of patchouli and sandalwood gives it a darker, more opulent character suited for formal evenings.

Oud Stars Gao parallels Rose 31's woody, resinous warmth through saffron, juniper, and a rich amber-oud base. While Rose 31 uses cumin to spice its rose, Gao relies on cypriol and gurjan balsam for a smokier, more incense-like effect. It is a more intense, less floral oriental wood that amplifies the dark, contemplative side of the source.

Boss Bottled Elixir matches Rose 31's warm spicy and woody accords with cardamom and frankincense at the top. It differs by omitting rose entirely, instead building a dry, aromatic heart of patchouli and vetiver over cedar and labdanum. This is a more straightforward, masculine woody scent that maintains the spicy resinous feel without floral notes.

Aoud S shares the woody, musky, and amber character of Rose 31, with saffron and rose in the heart creating a floral parallel. The key difference is a brighter, fruitier opening with bergamot, black currant, and peach, making it sweeter and more feminine. The oud base adds a similar depth but with a more pronounced, animalic edge than the source's guaiac wood.

Richwood aligns with Rose 31's woody, amber, and musky profile, using a citrus top of bergamot and grapefruit. Where Rose 31 has a spicy rose heart, Richwood introduces damask rose and geranium with a black currant twist, creating a fruitier floral dimension. The base of labdanum, patchouli, and vanilla is warmer and more balsamic, offering a softer, more radiant take.

Blue Hope shares Rose 31's woody amber foundation with a touch of leather and spice. It differs by highlighting citrus and floral notes: bergamot and mandarin open brightly, while jasmine and saffron in the heart create a softer, more floral profile. The castoreum and labdanum base adds an animalic warmth that echoes the source's musky depth but with less cumin.

Alexandria II mirrors Rose 31's woody oriental character with cinnamon and rose in the heart, plus a prominent oud and sandalwood base. The difference is a more complex, powdery opening with apple, lavender, and palisander rosewood, making it sweeter and more opulent. The Laotian oud adds a medicinal, leathery nuance that contrasts with the source's guaiac wood and labdanum.

Oud Stars Fars echoes Rose 31's woody aromatic profile with a fresh spicy twist. Its top notes of bergamot, geranium, and lavender create a greener, more herbal opening than the source's cumin and rose. The heart of cedar, nagarmotha, and patchouli is drier and earthier, while the Laotian oud and ambergris base adds a salty, animalic depth that feels more rugged.

Layton Exclusif shares Rose 31's warm spicy and woody amber character, with almond and bergamot in the top and a rich base of oud, sandalwood, and vanilla. It differs through a floral heart of gardenia, geranium, and rose, plus civet and coffee notes that add a gourmand, animalic edge. The result is a sweeter, more decadent scent that still retains the source's spicy depth.

Haltane parallels Rose 31's woody aromatic structure with a lavender and clary sage opening that is fresher and less spicy. The heart of praline and saffron introduces a sweet, gourmand facet absent in the source. The base of agarwood, cedar, and vetiver provides a similar woody, earthy foundation, but with a more pronounced sweetness and less floral character.

Vetiver Extraordinaire matches the woody, earthy, and fresh spicy aspects of Rose 31, with bergamot and bitter orange at the top. It diverges by centering on vetiver rather than rose, supported by cedar, clove, and pink pepper. The base of oakmoss and musk is greener and more mineral, offering a brighter, less resinous take on the source's woody foundation.
