Gent has been super consistent with fragrances I took a break from buy / consuming fragrances content for over a year and a half and I love how gent still has that passion for fragrances
Keep 10 for me: 1. Fragrance world Sultan the Founder. 2. Lattafa Art of Arabia III 3. French Avenue Fierte 4. Jo milano games of spades wild card 5. French Avenue Liquid Brun 6. Khamrah Qahwa (if you have coffee macchiato from fragrance world, it's probably redundant to get this) 7. Lattafa The Kingdom 8. Lattafa His Confessions 9. Fragrance world Suits 10. French Avenue Mystic Leather (not a safe blind buy unless you love leather, i do).
For some of my underrated buys this year (not talked about much or as much anymore) 1. Fragrance world Posh Malt 2. Maison Alhambra Sceptre Oceana. 3. Fragrance world Soir 4. Jo Milano game of spades Royale (br540 mixed with something, I personally like it better than the br540 DNA because I go nose blind) 5.Ansaam Silver. 6. Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold. 7. Gaith (the best suavage elixir clone imo) 8. Borouj mysterious (for those who like sweeter fragrances).
@@WallyChamp15haven't tried nayel queen only rifaaqat and the original. Fierte is more vanilla than both while rifaaqat is more woody. Personally I prefer fierte of the 3.
@@camasdfghjkcheap enough in Australia that I bought both. Probably have to give it to Suits., just. Tux a bit more peppery on the open. Less between them after dry down. Longevity etc similar for both, about 8 hrs for me till just a skin scent (a lovely one at that 😁)
@Fresh_Indeed Yes, I'd say around 90%. Longevity, a solid 8-10 hrs, and I never personally went nose blind to it. Projection is above average. Honestly, one of the best vanilla scents in my collection.
@MoulikJain-ot2ev No. Liquid Brun is heavier on the vanilla and cinnamon. Khamrah you get more praline, dates, with a slight coconut note. The vanilla and spice comes on the drydown though. With Brun the vanilla and cinnamon stays the duration.
I dont consider Lataffa to be a big clone brand anymore, they give their own twist on things and their bottles look insane. So I will keep collecting them (or use that an an excuse to keep collecting them haha). Started collecting recently. 42 years old, but definitely found something worth collecting! Your channel been helping me out greatly. Thank you!
I'm 39 and started collecting a few years ago... It's the one thing I'm allowed to do that my wife actually supports. That and doing all her chores after my 13 hours shift doing construction
Great job on whoever Ash has got editing these videos! Transitions are smoother, the videos flow better, and the animations add some extra pop without becoming distracting or annoying. Keep it up! 👍🏽
You only need 10 fragrances at most or your wasting money. 2 per season (6) a date night or your gf fav scent on u (7) a versatile cheapie (8) & two of your personal favs usually 1 niche & 1 for nostalgia (9 & 10)
Thank you for the info here Ash. Also I wanted to point out Code Absolu gold smells a bit different from Harmony Code, hopefully a clone for that is made.
GREAT content, Ash! I have every frag mentioned in this video, except two of the clones and Tygar, which I don't feel I need. Your new editing is a dramatic improvement, BTW. A couple of clones I really enjoy that you didn't mention here are Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu and Zimaya Sharaf Blend. Keep up the exceptional work, Ash... looking forward to the release of your next batch! Hoping one is a winter bomb! 😊👍♥️🙏
Yes! It's Lattafa's World and we're just living in it, so funny how I coincidentally got into them at the beginning of the year, got like 20 amazing fragrances fo4 the price of like 5 designer fragrances
My new favorite clone is Orientica Royal Blue. The best inspiration that I’ve smelled so far of PDM Layton. I’m running low on Layton and I don’t think that I’m going to get another bottle because the Royal Blue is fantastic. I also have Dusk and Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu.
Just got a 30ml bottle of “More Than Words” By Makin Scents. It is 💯 clone of Luna Rosa Extreme. To have my discontinued signature sent back is my collection for 1$ per ml is exciting. Less then a 1$ per ml if you go bigger, which I will do now that I know it is a dead match. Arguably has better performance also.
CDN Sillage. After discovering that profile with Cremo's Silver Water & Birch I can't go back. And I can't go forward because Creed prices are just not something I can justify for myself.
Kamrah, Art of Arabia I, Turathi, Club de Nuit intense, Afnan Mileage, Afnan Sillage, Armaf Tres nuit, Supremacy in oud, Woody oud, Rasasi, Royal night (Ombre nomade clone), Predator (Apex clone), Al Haramain manege rouge (BR540 clone)
Dark Door intense is wild :D I like clones so much better when they don't sound like "AIDAS" or "NIEK" , and don't have an almost identical presentation to the original.
My favourite ones, in terms of laughs, are MONT BLVNC LEGENG and BOOS (CEO isn't too bad either), which also mimic the bottles! There was one called "Easy Miami" which took me a moment to figure out was supposed to be cloning Issey Miyake because I wasn't too familiar with the original.
When I first got Turathi Blue I didn’t like it. Came back to it after a few months and started to like it. Not sure if it’s one of those clones that needs to sit for a bit or if my sense changed. I think I still like scents like Missoni pour Homme better. They are a similar use.
15:49 ALT's Executive PARFUM (they claim its based on a "platinum edition" of Aventus, but truth be told, it's probably just a straight up more concentrated version of their Executive EDP - Ive never seen a plat. ed.) I added ONE spray of it to my real Creed, and it boosted projection & longevity.
Hayaati Bleau by Fragrance World (Le Male Le Beau Edt) Al Nashama by Lattafa (Paragon by Initio) Nitro Dumont Black Intense (Creed Aventus with that smoky birch amped up) Star Men Nebula by Fragrance World (Pure Malt Thierry Mugler) Atlas by Lattafa (Megamare) Insurrection Wild by Reyane Tradition (Pure Havane Thierry Mugler)
Clones of discontiunued fragrances always seem to be spot on. Are they though ? Or is it because they get compared with a fading memory of the og fragrances ?
I would keep Lataffa Ramz and Jasoor, hands down dead ringer to the original. Could not ask for more for a clone. Fakhar not really similar to YSL Y since its a bit sweet, I would say Odyssey Armaf Mega is a better one close to Y EDP.
There is Maison Alhambra Yeah, the clone of Y edp and Lattafa Fakhar. The Yeah has the closer smell with the sweetness, but since I'm not a huge fan of sweetness that has the original Y edp, then I'll stick to Fakhar.
You won't be able to smell Liquid Brun in the air, I have it, and it is an instant skint scent. Literally smells cheap, and ZERO projection. I bought it because of Ash and I was wrong. Dark Door? Just get Kayaan Classic if you want a clone, someone saying it is not as loud as DHI is wrong as DHI is not a loud fragrance at all nor a great preformer lately.
I'll share my move: If you're like me and don't feel comfortable lying about the fragrance you have on, my trick is to get a decant of the actual fragrance with the clone. When you wear the clone, put the tiniest amount of the actual fragrance on and when someone asks what you're wearing, you don't have to lie to them. You're welcome :)
Hey Gents!! Can you please do a vid about Wraith by Spectre? its an identical clone of kilian "Black Phantom"!!! i own it and smells identical! Also theres another by the same house that is a clone of Nishane and its called "GHOST" thank you!!!
You can criticize it like any fragrance as ppl like different things but even if you don't like it you can never rate it as Trash the least you can rate it is 6/10 if you don't like the DNA but if you like the DNA you can never rate it below 9/10
I have never smelled Leyton or Leyton Exclusif. However I have Orientica Royal Blue and it is amazing, and supposedly a Leyton type clone. Can anyone tell me if Miraj Absolute is similar to Orientica Royal Blue and if it's redundant to have both?
Hey guys I need help choosing between Dior Homme Sport 2021 and Acqua Di Gio Profundo. For fresh scents I have Dior Sauvage EDT and Missoni Wave. Which one should I add to my collection
I have Art of Nature II;it doesn't seem to last very long at all. Projection is weak compared to Liquid Brun. That is how it stands with me right now. Maybe it will change with time? I like the smell of Liquid Brun better than AoN II or Althair.
@ ah ok thank you so much it’s bc I wanted to get it just for the bottle it look very nice but since it doesn’t smell like it then I won’t get thank you

Fragrance World suits? Us it better than the tux by maison alhambra?
@@camasdfghjkcheap enough in Australia that I bought both. Probably have to give it to Suits., just.
Tux a bit more peppery on the open. Less between them after dry down.
Longevity etc similar for both, about 8 hrs for me till just a skin scent (a lovely one at that 😁)
Man I love the clone reviews! You don’t miss!!
Liquid Brun, The Kingdom, Swiss Arabian Casablanca, and Orientica Royal Bleu, and Al Raiee. My absolute best buys of the year so far.
I'm sure with you on the Liquid Brun. FB worthy and BB(backup) worthy.
So liquid Brun smells just like Althair? how is the projection and longevity?
@Fresh_Indeed Yes, I'd say around 90%. Longevity, a solid 8-10 hrs, and I never personally went nose blind to it. Projection is above average. Honestly, one of the best vanilla scents in my collection.
does liquid brun have that arabian effect?
does liquid bru smell similar to kamrah
@MoulikJain-ot2ev No. Liquid Brun is heavier on the vanilla and cinnamon. Khamrah you get more praline, dates, with a slight coconut note. The vanilla and spice comes on the drydown though. With Brun the vanilla and cinnamon stays the duration.
Hey ash, thanks for posting everyday, always look forward to seeing your videos on fragrances!

maison alhambra clones lattafa gives a twist
I'm 39 and started collecting a few years ago... It's the one thing I'm allowed to do that my wife actually supports. That and doing all her chores after my 13 hours shift doing construction
I wholeheartedly agree.
Never too late to do things we love to. Inspired !
I agree if we talking about armaf
Perfect video for starting a collection on the cheap side!!!
There is a new guy editing these, you can see the change in editing style
Yea I noticed with the smooth animation stuff . I liked the new style
or the fact ebay is in aud and not usd when they show armani code
@@timthamm9739 just get sapil bound its a solid clone
Great job on whoever Ash has got editing these videos! Transitions are smoother, the videos flow better, and the animations add some extra pop without becoming distracting or annoying. Keep it up! 👍🏽
Love the title ..
Thankyou Ash for coming with new and innovative fragrance videos on daily basis
As a Layton alternative, I would pick Royal Bleu by Orientica... THE BEST!
I second that. The absolute BEST Layton clone.
Hands down no question
In April I had zero fragrances. I ended up impulse buying a 3 for 99 ALT bundle. Since April I have bought over 50 middle Eastern dupes/clones 😂
Same here. I had Sauvage an Invictus for 5 years and over 50 new clones last 6 months. I Think i'm getting in a wrong direction.
Same. I started less than 2 months ago and have 80 different scents now (all decants, however - still figuring out what my favorites are.)
You only need 10 fragrances at most or your wasting money. 2 per season (6) a date night or your gf fav scent on u (7) a versatile cheapie (8) & two of your personal favs usually 1 niche & 1 for nostalgia (9 & 10)
@views4rmthasix596 This comment is wild. The amount of fragrances someone needs is subjective
Gotta catch them all🤣
Thank you for the info here Ash. Also I wanted to point out Code Absolu gold smells a bit different from Harmony Code, hopefully a clone for that is made.
GREAT content, Ash!
I have every frag mentioned in this video, except two of the clones and Tygar, which I don't feel I need.

Lattafa khamrah is my favorite nice review and choice's love the video Gents Scents stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
As far as clones go, the Dua Fragrance house clones are some of the best Ive smelt, even when compared with originals.
Yes! It's Lattafa's World and we're just living in it, so funny how I coincidentally got into them at the beginning of the year, got like 20 amazing fragrances fo4 the price of like 5 designer fragrances
This video is pure gold. Thanks Ash!
Club De Nuit Precieux is just fantastic! I’ve found myself wearing it quite a bit lately 🔥
I'm ok with buying and owning clone fragrances as long as they are very close to the original and smell like quality and have great performance
Club de Nuit Precieux 1 is the best clone I’ve bought this year.
I never thought I will buy a lot of perfumes and then watches started to show in my feeds 😅
Now I'm starting to buy watches too 😅
My new favorite clone is Orientica Royal Blue. The best inspiration that I’ve smelled so far of PDM Layton. I’m running low on Layton and I don’t think that I’m going to get another bottle because the Royal Blue is fantastic. I also have Dusk and Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu.

Great stuff Ash! I'm rocking LiqBrun today... fabulous juice.
Lataffa asad is literally the best
Did you do this just for me?? Lol😂. I keep mentioning it. It's my obsession!. Another great review. ALL ABOUT THE $1M PRIVE, BABY!!
Excellent choices, I would've added fragrance world aether
CDN Sillage. After discovering that profile with Cremo's Silver Water & Birch I can't go back. And I can't go forward because Creed prices are just not something I can justify for myself.
I especially love clones of iconic discontinued fragrances. The Envy Of Fomo being a prime example.
Thank you Ash
Attack of the clones!
Thank you Ash.
Diddy wears Dark Door
This was very insightful and interesting! Have you ever done any videos reviewing or checking out any of the Superz fragrance line up?
Aqua Dubai and Vintage Radio were my two favorite this year.
My favourites are lattafa asad and mouj jubilee. I cant find al nshama caprice anywhere near me
Kamrah, Art of Arabia I, Turathi, Club de Nuit intense, Afnan Mileage, Afnan Sillage, Armaf Tres nuit, Supremacy in oud, Woody oud, Rasasi, Royal night (Ombre nomade clone), Predator (Apex clone), Al Haramain manege rouge (BR540 clone)
Dark Door intense is wild :D I like clones so much better when they don't sound like "AIDAS" or "NIEK" , and don't have an almost identical presentation to the original.

@RevBasilChristi Lol Easy Miami is legendary 😂
Like Renheit :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I first got Turathi Blue I didn’t like it. Came back to it after a few months and started to like it. Not sure if it’s one of those clones that needs to sit for a bit or if my sense changed.
I think I still like scents like Missoni pour Homme better. They are a similar use.
Maybe to seperate in 3 groups on performance would also be nice : average, below, above in new clone lists.
Seems like HARMONY CODE ABSOLUTE is always sold out. Still haven't been able to pick a bottle up.
I’ve been wanting to pick up one as well, my Armani code absolu is getting low
@@cosmicchaos7181 🤯
I hope we don't die using all these clones on our skin....
I love me some clones... thanks Ash...
One clone I should mention that everyone should have is Ameer Al. Oud by Lattafa, Smokey, burnt sugar and sweet vanilla
15:49 ALT's Executive PARFUM (they claim its based on a "platinum edition" of Aventus, but truth be told, it's probably just a straight up more concentrated version of their Executive EDP - Ive never seen a plat. ed.) I added ONE spray of it to my real Creed, and it boosted projection & longevity.
Layering isn’t a bad idea, for sure
Honestly a brilliant video ! Thanks
Hayaati Bleau by Fragrance World (Le Male Le Beau Edt)
Al Nashama by Lattafa (Paragon by Initio)
Nitro Dumont Black Intense (Creed Aventus with that smoky birch amped up)
Star Men Nebula by Fragrance World (Pure Malt Thierry Mugler)
Atlas by Lattafa (Megamare)
Insurrection Wild by Reyane Tradition (Pure Havane Thierry Mugler)
Dusk > Miraj. Still, a great list... some of these fragrances are like 20$/€ here in Europe😊
Liquid Brun is AMAZING!!!!
Ramz silver.
Still a compliment king
Luv that stuff!
CDNIM has to be on the list.
Clones of discontiunued fragrances always seem to be spot on. Are they though ? Or is it because they get compared with a fading memory of the og fragrances ?
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I really don't smell the Tygar with Turathi. Literally I can't smell a single similar note.
I don't get it.
wow!!!! 10:55 This is my city!!!! Novosibirsk, Russia
I would keep Lataffa Ramz and Jasoor, hands down dead ringer to the original. Could not ask for more for a clone. Fakhar not really similar to YSL Y since its a bit sweet, I would say Odyssey Armaf Mega is a better one close to Y EDP.
Do I hear a 2024 clone given away!!! 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 A girl can dream 😋
Harmony code Absolu ❤❤❤
There is Maison Alhambra Yeah, the clone of Y edp and Lattafa Fakhar. The Yeah has the closer smell with the sweetness, but since I'm not a huge fan of sweetness that has the original Y edp, then I'll stick to Fakhar.
Is there a clone yet for YSL Myself Le Parfum? Smelt the original and fell in love.
Zimaya itqan noir

Maison Alhambra Delilah a close 🥈

I have 6 out of 10 those clones..lol
Fav clone o the week,,,,,,art of Arabia iii. But, eco is great. But this week,,,,its art of Arabia iii
get some of the game of spades fragrances, dupes of bond no 9 frags. wildcard and moon are great.
Hey Gents!! Can you please do a vid about Wraith by Spectre? its an identical clone of kilian "Black Phantom"!!! i own it and smells identical! Also theres another by the same
house that is a clone of Nishane and its called "GHOST" thank you!!!
Is turathi blu worth it or is it trash guys?
Overall ratings on Fragrantica are around 4.4/5 so generally pretty well liked
Top level clone!
You can criticize it like any fragrance as ppl like different things but even if you don't like it you can never rate it as Trash the least you can rate it is 6/10 if you don't like the DNA but if you like the DNA you can never rate it below 9/10
@@GentsScents replying to a comment?? 😮 is this a glitch in the matrix lol
Trash to me kinda boring and doesn't perform smell like grapefruit mostly
Also potential Mount Rushmore members are Bleu de Chanel, YSL Tuxedo.....
best clone of La Nuit de l'Homme ?
I have never smelled Leyton or Leyton Exclusif. However I have Orientica Royal Blue and it is amazing, and supposedly a Leyton type clone. Can anyone tell me if Miraj Absolute is similar to Orientica Royal Blue and if it's redundant to have both?
I’m hype I’m this early
Hey guys I need help choosing between Dior Homme Sport 2021 and Acqua Di Gio Profundo. For fresh scents I have Dior Sauvage EDT and Missoni Wave. Which one should I add to my collection
Afnan Turathi Blue or FW Bavaria Lapurd?
Dark Door Intense is a bad rec, when you can get the one from FOMO or Al Wataniah. Its ok for 22€, but not satisfying longterm.
Kayaan classic, camara contra exquisite latin, hawas black in place of hacivat, Maison Alhambra domino essence 05
Ash is there any clone of Paco Rabanne Pure XS for her or can you make Videos about clone Frags for Women
please compare Armaf Odyssey Mega ( Yellow) to Lattafa Fakar Black.
Have you smelled art of nature 2? Ik it’s like liquid burn but idk the difference or which is better
I have Art of Nature II;it doesn't seem to last very long at all. Projection is weak compared to Liquid Brun. That is how it stands with me right now. Maybe it will change with time? I like the smell of Liquid Brun better than AoN II or Althair.

Thanks 🥂
I have 8/10 of those fragrance but I don't like qawa. Al awsaaf is one I keep it
Is that one better than Kayaan Classic?? (Dior homme intense)
uff that mic clipping needs some look into. Otherwise great video as always
It’s always with the Rode Wireless GO mics. They clip on almost everyone who uses them.
@ hmm could be. But it doesn’t seems to be a problem in every video🤷♂️

Gatekeeping President Here
Pdm Althier is clone of club black.
Clones are nice but designers just feel better to own
I would love to see a top 5 ahmed al maghribi
If a girls asks you tell her you wear the expensive fragrance, if a guy asks you give him the clone name for him to wear
Preciux is bombbbbbb
How about Joe Malano High Roller
i'm staying away from Club de nuit as they are getting more expensive day by day.
Harmony Code Absolute seems sold out all over the internet! 😢
Had lattafa isn’t really a clone so why is it still being brought up I wonder
Odyssey Mega > Lattafa Fakhar Black
Who's ready for higher fragrance prices.. imports right, new tariffs on the way.. 👏🏽
So many new American brands coming up that people don’t even know about yet.
@ScentsOverSense like what
Have you ever found a clone for Dior eau for men?
