The bottle design team at armaf are completely insane. The only way to explain the fact that every single bottle they make is garbage and tacky looking, is they do it on purpose.
It's based on vintage PE. I had the Egoiste Platinum splash from the 1990's and also a bottle from around 2012, and this smells closer to those rather than to the current formulation which is fresher and made more modern and up to date. And Eau de Passion lasts quite long for such an affordable fragrance.
When I bought my 2nd bottle of Missoni Pour Homme, I bought the tester and just kept the cap from my first bottle 😎 Was kinda proud of myself for that one lol
The Armaf Legacy name looks a little weird because it's written out in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) with the symbols representing the sounds needed to form the word!
Macy's has all their men's fragrances on sale right now for 15% off. You can get 95% of them discounted online for that 15% off but not men's Chanel. You have to go in store to get the 15% off. I have Allure homme, allure sport cologne, Allure sport Eau extreme, Edition Blanche, and of course the Epic Bleu in the edp. Went to my local Macy's store after work yesterday and grabbed blue in the EDT just as a backup. Love my chanel!
@@nomames7123Yes, i do purchase from fragrancenet. They have epic deals!!! Unfortunately i have not seen mens chanel fragrances discounted on that site.
Missoni smells like BDC for the first few minutes, but it dries down to be closer to A&F Fierce/Montblanc Legend to me. Wasn’t much of a fan. Also every clone of BDC EDT that I’ve smelled is the absolute worst and almost always smells like cleaning products. Armaf Shades Blue and 24 Live Another Day are two perfect examples.
Missoni Wave, a even cheaper Missoni is the best alternative for Chanel Sport Extreme - and Encre Noire a l’Extreme is a better alternative than Encre Noire
Bleu de chanel I bought 2 bottles went through half of one bottle don't like it at all. But Ash that Encre Noire smells fire especially the Sort version. Thank you
If you were to redo this I I got a great cheap alternative to Bleu de Chanel parfum. Around $25 it's from the house of geparly it's called "Yes I am king Legend" definitely a solid alternative you should check out on the chanel ash💯
Could you please write the name of the colognes you are showing on the page. It isn't easy to understand and spell the names because you don't hold it to show it long enough to write it down. I appreciate all your wisdom concerning these fragrances.Thanks so much.
People need to stop calling encre noir a fall winter fragrance when its literally perfect for the nightime in the spring with how earthy and green it is.
Thank you for this info. I've been saving for a bottle of the "Bleu De Chanel Parfum" for a few months now. I'll give the Missoni Pour Homme a shot first. I know I've smelled it in Boscovs before and it reminded me of...well...you know. I don't know why but I would have sworn I smelled pineapple in there somewhere.... =[ And that's why I'm on a mission to get "Bleu De Chanel Parfum" and "Dylan Blue" because they're definitely NOT aventus-dna mutants/clones/replicants.
Its hilarious i was looking into buying channel allure homme sport or extreme. I was wondering if they have either a clone and today gents scents covers it. Awesome.
I love this guys reviews on cologne don't get me wrong, but I swear he looks like Shia LaBeouf's brother. That in no way is meant to be taken as an insult to this man whatsoever.
I remember the times when I used to think Chanel fragrances are expensive... then I discovered niche 😥
to be fair, they are... its just that some niche frags are crazy expensive
:(
Lol 😂
@@amathine440 perfectly said.
I remember when I thought I had to pay full price for colognes, then I discovered discounters 😂
The bottle design team at armaf are completely insane. The only way to explain the fact that every single bottle they make is garbage and tacky looking, is they do it on purpose.
Great list. As a note, Sycomore is inspired by Encre Noire as the Chanel was released 2 years later. Cheers and take care!
My favorite alternative for platinum egoiste is Franck Olivier Eau De Passion (almost identical). Great video!
Was going to mention it, but I thought I should check the comments first. I have it and I like it, a part from the alcohol blast in the opening.
It's best in the drydown for sure...

You should do more videos like this one! Maybe one for Dior 🧐.
Yes, do Dior also 😁
I’m on board. You can’t beat Dior though, even with all the reformulations lol…
If verace would come up with pur homme edp and Dylan edp. And Montblanc with Skywalker edp would have been over for many disigners and niches. :D
Versace Pour Homme is the easiest reach ever made. Lets be honest. It works!
Heard performance is poor though? How long do you get out of it?
Like the 1000 other shower gel/ Aquatic scents
@@nyhcdude not poor id say medium.. It smells so pleasant its worth it because its not very expensive.
@@mastodon5220 this one is the best of those
Facts
When I bought my 2nd bottle of Missoni Pour Homme, I bought the tester and just kept the cap from my first bottle 😎 Was kinda proud of myself for that one lol
I dont know about you guys but for me is Stronger with you absolutely, i apsolutly love that fragrance, it makes me smile every time
You should do more videos like this. For Dior, Armani, YSL or Tom Ford etc.
This is right on time! Do a top 10 for spring I need to know which ones to buy
Alternative for Édition Blanche?
The Armaf Legacy name looks a little weird because it's written out in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) with the symbols representing the sounds needed to form the word!
Another Great video Mr Ash.
Missoni Wave is also pretty close to AHSEE
I heard about this awesome alternate for scrolling and skipping on the video, it eau de timestamps.
Would it hurt to list the fragrances in the description rather than affiliate links aswell?

Thanks for letting us know, do you not buy from fragrancenet?
@@nomames7123Yes, i do purchase from fragrancenet. They have epic deals!!! Unfortunately i have not seen mens chanel fragrances discounted on that site.
What alternative do you recommend for Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche?
If anyone likes the Allure Homme line then I suggest them to try Dior Homme Sport. It's very close without it having that old manish chanel dna.
Missoni smells like BDC for the first few minutes, but it dries down to be closer to A&F Fierce/Montblanc Legend to me. Wasn’t much of a fan.

Siempre muy buenos TOP...!!!
This would make a great series keep it up with other brands please
Thanks Ash always helpful

Love the new video idea! Would love to see one for Dior fragrances as well! :)
Happy sunday!!!! I am intrigued!
Ash you should wear a beret with that shirt.
Oouhh baguette
how does the encre noir differ from encre noir Intense? Thanks
Wow. This is so nice!
People need to stop calling encre noir a fall winter fragrance when its literally perfect for the nightime in the spring with how earthy and green it is.
Hey hey! Try nusuk and rihannah perfumes!
SCORE!!!! Love your expressions. Haha 😂😂
Is the bdc the edt
24 live another day is similar to blu de chanel.
Thanks for reminding me about Perry Ellis M. I have this and really enjoy the scent. How do scents we enjoy get list in our collection.
Thank you for this info.
I've been saving for a bottle of the "Bleu De Chanel Parfum" for a few months now.
I'll give the Missoni Pour Homme a shot first. I know I've smelled it in Boscovs before and it reminded me of...well...you know.

And that's why I'm on a mission to get "Bleu De Chanel Parfum" and "Dylan Blue" because they're definitely NOT aventus-dna mutants/clones/replicants.
Idk if my bottle of missoni is off/bad but i hate the smell.
Can you compare Egoiste with Platinum Egoiste ?
Totally different fragrances.
What's the best clone of BLEU CHANEL ?
Or you could pay $55 for Dua's version of Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme called "His Aspiration" and its better!
It seriously is. It's incredible
Any idea of any alternatives to Chanel Antaeus?
Lol I was looking into this the other day, great timing. Respect to Coco Chanel though.
So the substitute for Chanel Allure Hommen original is Count Dooku’s lightsaber?? That’s pretty epic
Missoni all day!Its even better then BDC EDT.
Thank you smart topic to bring
what is the clone for Chance? and Coco Mademoiselle? thanks
Excellent video!!!!
versace pour homme is excellent smell wise, but the performance on my skin was really bad.. I was hoping ud find one for allure sport extreme tho
The best kind of videos
I’m surprised you haven’t come out with a fragrance of your own yet. A lot of other UA-cam fragrance reviewers are coming out with fragrances.
He has his own line. Galleria parfums
Also can check out Geparlys Yes I Am The King Le Parfum, dupe of Bleu de Chanel Parfum
Chanel Sycomore is fantastic!
Nice work. Is there a cheapie alternative to Chanel Egoiste? It's hard to find the original in stores, so an alternative would be nice.
I can buy Channel Allure Homme for less than Perry Ellis M here in the UK. I want to try it!
That’ll be a fake for sure. No store will have it cheaper. Online if it is discounted heavily it is fake.
Armaf Marjan Silver is also a bdc clone and thats the one by armaf that more people should be talking about. Extremely close
#ok challenge# peak ---the most versatile (blue) cologne 1) under 10$ 2) 10-20$ 3)20-30$ 4) 30-50$ thanks mate greetings from Athens Greece!!!
I was literally thinking this very thing last night.
From what I hear, Ferragamo Acqua Essensiale is a great dupe of Bleu de Chanel
But the armaf comes with the complimentary 8-hour headache? How could you not want that?
Its hilarious i was looking into buying channel allure homme sport or extreme. I was wondering if they have either a clone and today gents scents covers it. Awesome.
Also Missoni Wave smells like it too.
Hey ash, have you tried armaf shades blue? ive heard it was the best bleu de chanel clone.
Thank you💪
Just was watching your review on Armaf milestone, and then this pops up! Keep it coming
Greetings, thank you for sharing your knowledge in perfumery.
I would like to know where I can buy online Perry Ellis M.
Thank you
looking for some clone for Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. anyone ? thanks
They say Mandarina Duck Black Extreme is similar to CAHSEE/CAHEB?
missoni got a nice fresh citrus n birch👌
Shades blue?
IS THE BDC THE EDT OR EDP??
BPH is so incredible
the spelling of Armaf's Legacy is a phonetic transcription of the word Legacy itself. It's not really odd. It's a brilliant idea for language nerds 🤭
Missoni Wave another clone of CHS
That Perry Ellis M reaction 🤣😂
I love Perry Ellis M, it's so underrated
I priced these up here in nz and they are still expensive
Franck olivier eau di passion is a identical clone of Chanel egoiste... closer than armaf legesi
ASH Nordstrom’s have Spicebomb Infrared.
why nobody gives love to perry ellis 360 original. It is like a blue fragrance before blue fragrances ...
Great video Ashton... Is your email working?
Dude, there’s nothing left but hope on that Sycomore bottle 🤭. Just kidding though. Love your vids.
Any that smell like Acqua Di Gio Absolu?
Man I’ve last 2 hours at best on my skin and the allure homme smells fruitier and better in my opinion n
I thought I was the only one that thought Versace pour homme smelled exactly like Allure homme sport in the dry down...I mean identical
Ive always thought Chanel Allure Homme smells similar to Tommy 🤷♂️
Go get it sir
I always get the tester if I can. I don't care about the bottle.
Do dior next time
I never liked Bleu de Chanel. It's got this incense note thats really hard to wear. Allure Eau Extreme on the other hand is much better.
Geir Ness is the closest to Chanel Allure Homme Sport
Missoni smells like bar soap to my nose!! I’ve never understood the comparison between BDC and Missoni.
I disagree smells exactly like BDC edt, but not the BDC epd or parfum though. Parfum is my favorite.
Please Consider do other disigners and niches like this
1.45 what's with flashing the hail Satan hand sign ? Sold your soul ?
I love this guys reviews on cologne don't get me wrong, but I swear he looks like Shia LaBeouf's brother. That in no way is meant to be taken as an insult to this man whatsoever.
I love Encre Noire , I just wish it lasted a bit longer. At the end of the day you get what you pay for 🤷🏻♂️
M - Perry Ellis, that cap looks jank. Looks like the bottle has been dropped 😊
Original Allure Homme is a fckn masterpiece, but -recently- it lacks strength, its' performance and longivity is a joke for that price.
I love Armaf bottles
