Many people say Orientica Xclusif Oud Bleu is the strongest and best clone. Its the exact same juice as Al harmains amber oud exclusiff. Al harmain owns orientica, its one of their sub brands
I agree. I almost bought a full bottle of Layton then saw a gentleman’s journey and another UA-camr mentioning Orientica Xo Bleu. Bought it for $39.99 and I’m still in shock after 2 weeks😅. It’s too close bro with high quality, I’m rethinking my whole collection.
My favourite is Orientica Xclusif Oud Bleu (dense and mentholated, probably the same a Amber Oud Exclusive Blue), second best North Stag Deux (a bit spicy, big plus for the price - around 30 USD, in Poland at least). Dusk on me goes too cardamony and is a bit moderate in performance.
orientica is owned by al haramain, the amber oud line is al haramain as well as amber oud exclusif however orientica have the same line under the name xo exclusif and different packaging
After a rabbit hole of research, my take is that Orientica XO Xclusif Oud Bleu is a rebranded "Amber Oud" Bleu Exclusif, there's plenty of similarities between the two, and it makes sense after the confusion with the parent company Al Haramain's line and considering the ties to the two companies. Just my take though.
I'm gonna say this in the most Mzansi (South African) way posible. Neeb, usiqhela kakubi phofu ikaka lento oyithethayo. PDM starts from around R9000 (9000ZAR) here in South Africa, we have it but we don't buy because of price. Simple!
This man is telling the truth. I have north stag Deux and it is amazing. Beautiful presentation also. The best Layton clone and I have Layton as well. Buy it 😏
I have both Deux and Xclusif Bleu and I like the Xclusif a lot better. That being said this fall/ winter I will be wearing ALOT of both as well as Detour Noir
@@KendoOnPoint I can only tell about my experience. First - Xclusif Oud Bleu is denser and has quite a prominent mentholated feel from the geranium (compared to the other clones, it seems to be recreating the pre-reformulation version of Layton). It also seems to last longer (at least extrait version). Second - ever since Covid I can quite easily go nose blind to a fragrance, fully or partially. In the case of North Stag Deux - after half an hour/hour I sometimes (not always) smell only the base notes with occasional whiffs of the rest. With Orientica I don't have that problem. It may be caused by my personal nose sensitivity, but it may simply be caused by a higher percentage of natural oils in Xclusif composition. (I cannot definitely say that that is the reason, or that it, in fact, has more naturals than North Stag Deux, but it is the most plausible explanation for my lesser nose fatigue - natural essential oils have more aromatic compounds than synthetic ones).
I have the Luxodor Loyal Agar and had it for 3 years now....never worn it, I'm not really a fan of it. Edit: Just grabbed it after watching this video and sprayed my right hand...WOW maceration helped big time!! I think I'll wear it this coming winter 😎
I have all but Deux... but will be getting it now.... and Quatro. I prefer AO EB over those I have. Also, I usually wear Layton Exclusif now when I'm in that mood. Thanks for an excellent video!
Got my detour noir today. Great fragrance. A fraction of the price of deux, dusk and exclusiv blue here in the UK. Don’t think you can go wrong with any of these. Cheers Neeb
I've never tried Layton and the only one of these I own is Deux, so I guess I'm relieved to learn that, at least to someone in the know, that I did alright! Honestly, I can't identify a single note in this. It smells wonderful to me but I can't tell why. To my very novice nose, it has loud baby blue dusty, powdery profile. I don't expect that to make sense to anyone else. I also like UN, the Tygar clone but I did not grab either freshie. Thanks for the review.
Love these clone war videos. Do you have Bleu de Chanel in the works??? 🤔 really respect your opinion on all these fragrances and really appreciate all the time you must put into this.
TIP: you need a better light in the table... I can barely see the fragrances.. and since this is a ranking.. I believe we were supposed to see what is there in the table..
Royal Blend original is 100% closest to actual angels share Celerio epic, khamrah, royal blend nero are sweeter and closer to gissah sava than they are to angels share
@DxRkZ_ I just know I already have khamrah and I want angels share exactly so I got royal blend original even if it's not as strong as royal blend nero
Neeb, ma' man... You don't have the best... Orientica Royal Bleu is the best.... I am glad that I got only a 5ml decant of Layton because I would wear the Orientica over the PdM anytime...
@@victorashul not lying. I keep wondering why royal blue doesn't ever make these lists. My theory is that the bottle is too ornate for some guys? I put Layton and Orientica Royal Bleu side-by-side on skin and on a test strip and no lie, neck and neck from start to finish. Even longevity. It. It's like 99.999%
This vid smells very fishy as if too many promotions and commercials there rather than honest opinions also where are the other clones of Layton like the Zimaya one?...
@@eb1504 No man but the Sheikh Al shuyukh that has some rotten smell and craze which is far from good most of these smell cheap much better things dropped this guy lives in the past

I have the Royal Bleu by Orientica and it Kills my original Layton 2022

I have orientica royal bleu(its an edp version of xo bleu). It's strong, projects heavy and last long af.
I have Detour Noir and am totally satisfied and love it so much, no need for a better one. Don't know the OG anyway lol
Thank you for these videos. I love the casual bro vibe but nothing casual about your note and scent profiles. Professional and entertaining.
i’ll put a like even before i start watching
this series has to keep going
Amber Oud Exclusif is by Orientica
orientica is owned by al haramain, the amber oud line is al haramain as well as amber oud exclusif however orientica have the same line under the name xo exclusif and different packaging
Great review Neeb! I have Dua Royal Chariot Attar. It's their take on Layton and it's a BEAST!!! Smells like Layton on steroids.
After a rabbit hole of research, my take is that Orientica XO Xclusif Oud Bleu is a rebranded "Amber Oud" Bleu Exclusif, there's plenty of similarities between the two, and it makes sense after the confusion with the parent company Al Haramain's line and considering the ties to the two companies. Just my take though.
Yeah, orientica is owned by alharmain bro
@@william6509 Yep
you didn't have to research, I could have told you. yes it's the same juice rebottled in the amber oud bottles due to the popularity of that line
Interesting, good looks bro. Would you recommend it over Neeb's #1 choice in the video? What's the projection and longevity from the Orientica one?
@@furqanchaudhry173 paris corner fragrances usually don't perform well

How many hours longevity and projection do you get with it?
Better then orientica royal blue?
Amber oud exclusif blue is the winner end of story lmao.. I do like Deux a lot… prob 2nd for me and I have both, can’t go wrong either way
Including royal blue?
I'm almost finished with my bottle of exclusif blue....thinking about buying another bottle but should I go with Deux instead?
Orientica royal bleu 🎉 is best for sure, but orientica brend don't pay influencers, and don't send boxes for free
I have both Deux and Xclusif Bleu and I like the Xclusif a lot better. That being said this fall/ winter I will be wearing ALOT of both as well as Detour Noir

I like orientica royal bleu the best, had all of these. I told you months ago to get it, You should have listened.
Including Deux?
We’re here for it !!!
💯 % Agree, smells like preform also, Deux for the win !
I have all but Deux... but will be getting it now.... and Quatro. I prefer AO EB over those I have. Also, I usually wear Layton Exclusif now when I'm in that mood.
Thanks for an excellent video!
Orientica royal blue does it for me

Orientica Royal Blue is Amber Oud Bleu Xclusif
Hi!! Can you please do a tygar clone war
4:20 - To me Loyal Agar smells closer to the OG than the Dusk. Compared them numerous times. Dusk has more menthol than the OG.
Love these clone war videos. Do you have Bleu de Chanel in the works??? 🤔 really respect your opinion on all these fragrances and really appreciate all the time you must put into this.
Great video Can you do a clone war for y de Yves saint laurent
Love dusk and I also like bharara blue
Neeb you should try Superz Budapest 1723 it’s like Layton but better 😉

have you tried the dua version? I heard its good

@@profound369 oh is celerio epic in the space or sava too i didn’t know that
@@DxRkZ_ need says it's like a hybrid of that and angels share

@@profound369 ohh so not exactly like nero but then not exactly like royal blend either
Thx Neeb.... needed this.
