      ​@jamarr911 I've tried a few of the same DNA from clone houses. MiddleEastern & American. Alexandria Fragrances are like comparing 4k to 640hz TV screens when compared to some of the others. I just wished they were a little more creative with the bottles. Nevertheless I'm all in and will be replacing alot of bottles with Alexandria. Except for my Niche ones that I just have to have in my collection. Xerjoff, Roja, Mancera etc..

    Yesterday I got Visionary, Orchestra, Black Panther, and Fire of God. Visionary and Orchestra are spot on. Getting the LV means you just want the name. I haven’t smelled God of Fire or Ty’gar but Black Panther smells a bit more refined then Turathi Blue. I haven’t had as much success with the middle Eastern houses but Dua and Alexandria has been very satisfying

    • @BlessedDelight1

      @rjburston 4 місяці тому +2

      Not necessarily. I have Visionary and Imagination and yes the clone is good but not as good as the original. You can instantly smell the quality difference and it projects way more. I had the clone first too.

      @@BlessedDelight1 Fire of God smells like a toned down version of Dolce Melodia by Sospiro. It doesn’t smell synthetic or anything. Smells nice. I sprayed it this morning and 8 hours later it’s still very present around me. I can’t say what God of fire smells like but this smells really good.

  • @Mogulmind777
    @Mogulmind777 4 місяці тому +2

    No clone house is messing with Alexandria, the best overall by far. There are some fragrances that a cheaper house has nailed but on average you are getting the superior product and best price for the quality. Love Alexandria
    My favorites
    Visionary - LV Imagination
    1981x -Naxos
    Upside Down - Initio Side Effect
    Gametime - BR540/Aventus hybrid
    Black Panther - Tygar 🐅
    Brooklyn Fragrance Love - Angel Share
    Nefarious - Nishane Nefs
    Arabian Horse -PDM Herod
    Zion - Roja Elysium (Amazing scent but no longevity)

    The price is good until you compare them to niche houses like Montale having five 3 ml samples of your choice for $25. I think the store says 2ml but ive compared them to PDM's samples that are like 1.5 and they are massive compared to them. ALSO PDM's sample box is pretty good. They give you 2 additional samples of your choice.

    • @soakedbearrd
      @soakedbearrd 14 днів тому

      With Alexandria you get seven 5 mil samples for 50 bucks, or four 10mil for 60. That comes up to about 1.50 dollars per mil. And you get to choose which fragrances you want rather than a prearranged sample pack with fragrances you didn’t choose. Most niche samples that you buy (aside from cheaper niche houses) will run you 7-12 dollars per 2 mil. That’s 3.50-6.00 dollars per mil. It’s a great way to sample higher end brands to find out if you like the scent profile or not. And if you do you can then decide if the original is worth 2-3x the amount of the clone. For instance LV will run you hundreds (300-600) for a bottle, but Alexandria will cost you 110. Personally I would do clones of montale and mancera because those houses are priced fair.

    So glad someone finally reviewed Retro flare side by side. To your case, I have to agree with you 100%. I had a decant of MFK which I loved I figured to buy AF retro Flare. I do fine AF to be more dense and less sharper which is what I liked most about MFK GS. It’s just a better and fresher as I prefer the OG but the AF bottle I have now will do until it’s almost done or I resell. I get about 8-9 hours where as with MFK I would get 5-6. But that was based off a decant I had. At a good price, at discounter I wouldn’t mind reselling my Alexandria and getting the OG . I give AF about 85% closeness.

    Imo. a fragrance house that rivals Alexandria fragrances Louis Vuitton clones and in some cases are even closer is Montagne Fragrances . Every Louis Vuitton clone I have bought from them is 90 % or more close to the Louis Vuitton fragrance they are duping . Only issue is many are constantly sold out . At $45 for 50 ml. bottles , they are reasonably priced considering the high quality blend you are getting .
