Quick take
AI-assisted summary of the notes, prices and community notes listed on this page; no bottle was smelled. How this site is made
Try the Oil Perfumery version first, though bear in mind all three listings here are seller claims of inspiration rather than any independently verified match, so the field is unranked on accuracy. On price, Alexandria Fragrances' Sahara Nights is the cheapest per ml at $1.50, versus $2.50/ml for Oil Perfumery's version. Oil Perfumery's listing carries the fullest labelling, naming the original directly ("Impression of Frederic Malle - The Night (Al Layl)") alongside its format and price, which makes it easier to check what you're buying against. Dua Fragrances' Dawn has no price listed, so cost comparison isn't possible there.
The original is built on oud, incense, Turkish rose, sandalwood and saffron. None of the three dupes has notes on file, so there's no way to say here whether any of them reproduces that oud-incense-rose combination, or leans harder on one element than another. The data can confirm format and (where given) price, but not scent accuracy or longevity, so treat any resemblance claim as unverified until you've tried it.

How to read this table
A seller claim means the clone house itself published that the product is inspired by The Night. We quote the claim; we have not smelled the bottles. A community pairing means the seller does not name the original and the match comes from reviewer consensus, graded close or moderate.
Price per ml is the honest comparison. Perfume oils look cheap per bottle but come in 10 ml vials; a 100 ml Middle-Eastern EDP at $35 is $0.35/ml and usually the strongest performer in the group. Extraits from clone houses sit in between.
