It's my top secret gem as well. Last time I wore this at a wedding, someone's girl is scooting at me and we were talking like ear to ear. I didn't make anything out of it, but I guess it's the fragrance lol
Now you've nailed it, JC! Great topic and video! Quality vs Price Ratio is the name of the game, not giving in to hype and brands dictating unrealistic fragrance prices based on recognition and marketing. Pricing does not always equal quality in fragrances.
Try „L’ Intense de blue“ Tuxedo Oud before, you pay 30 dollar and it smells 90% -95%same, oh i forgotten mention younger 200ml, you can thank me later😊👍🏾
I started my fragrance journey with a blind haul of clones and as I began to try try the OG's there was no denying the higher quality which I enjoyed more. My collection is now 80% niche, but I still love the IDEA of a "clone." The reality is that any art that inspires will always be replicated, but if its not the original, I want scents that offer a new perspective on innovative DNA
Perfumers most often create alternatives to their most successful fragrances. Usually those alternatives are cheaper. An example might be Angel’s Share by Kilian and Zara Sand Desert at Sunset both created by Benoist Lapouza. Great topic🙂
Love Day Three! I've picked up bottles of La Tacita and Ambar Dominicano in the last 2 months and will probably pick up a bottle of Filosofia if I catch one of the old bottles selling for the right price. SO GOOD. A friend referred to Ambar Dominicano as Grand Soir's much more fun cousin, and I agree with that 100%.
The ones that I own : Bois Impérial : simply amazing floral woody. perfect for spring and summer and it lasts. Bleu de Chanel EDT : exceptional scent especially because of that bitter grapefruit mixed with woody notes. not cheap but worth it. Xerjoff Naxos : Just pulled the trigger for it on Black Friday. amazing scent. That honey and tobacco mix... love it YSL Tuxedo : Bought it last spring (discounted), Very classy. worth every penny. Never had the chance to smell Moustache though
Day Three has a well-priced discovery set. I highly recommend it. As it turns out, while I appreciated what they do, none spoke to me enough to pull the trigger on a full bottle. But I'm glad I got my nose on them.
Hi Justin, cool video. I just wanted to tell you that I think it is great that you are being precise and honest in your Videos. I think you put a great perspective on spending money and expectations towards perfumery. Not only because of you, but in General I really think honesty is what our Media lacks. Therefore, being honest might not contribute to your success necessarily. I Hope the Route you just pays off for you. It really is well deserved. So good luck and off to a good 2025
Missoni Parfum Pour Homme is very much like Bleu de Chanel EDP. A better Tuxedo clone is Divain 678. I have Tuxedo-Moustache & Divain. At first I didn't get the similaraties between Tuxedo and Moustache. I do get it now, a bit. But I cannot tell Tuxedo apart from Divain, which costed around 20 €/100 ML. And that with a nice bottle. Must admit Moustache is a beautiful bottle too.
absolutely agree ... i only blind bought few clones back in 2017, 2019 and recently ... almost 95% of them were disappointing!! the quality is almost always low
That Niche4All's Vanilla Oud alternative to Layton sounds interesting as I find Layton to have a VICKS® VapoRub smell to it that makes it a bit off-putting to me
An alternative to Layton is L'Arc Evasion... you should try it. Amazing fragrance, most similar to Lalique White in Black, which is a inspiration from Layton (not a 100% dupe) but niche quality and great performance... and just little bit more sweet!
Lune Feline is absolutely Beautiful. I’d buy it from a discounter in a second. But the gold flakes is a problem for me. Don’t want glitter on my clothes or my skin.
I didn’t get it from a discounter. But I’ve seen it pop up on Jomashop, I linked it in the description of this video but not sure if it’s still available.
I only have two clones. One is of a fragrance that's been discontinued for awhile. I have no idea how close it is to what it's cloning, I just know I like it for what it is. The other is for a really expensive frag I couldn't get a sample of. So I went with the clone, and I enjoy that one as well, even though, again, I have no idea how close it is to what it's cloning.
My wife loves Ganymede on me. I am absolutely done with it after half an hour of wear unfortunately :') there is something that rubs me the wrong way but I can't put my finger to it, might be the immortelle.
I love the YSL tuxedo dna but it’s to heavy to wear as casually as I would want. Rochas mustache scratches that itch for me and lets me get the vibe of tuxedo without the heavy feeling. In my opinion it definitely leans inspiration of Tuxedo but more of a sport flanker than a clone.
I used to buy OGs only for perfumes and makeup, but after trying many cheaper interpretations and discovering that many have better quality and last longer, i don't understand how can the expensive brands (in many if not most cases) justify the ridiculous high prices. I stopped buying expensive makeup and from perfumes i buy the OG when i think it's worth it.
I am a rock girl polished or unpolished . Ganymede smells like wet slate to me, I like it. It was a HELL no to M. Tiger to him ir smelled like a blown electrical circuit.
Got unsolicited compliment from Layton last week. She said "you smell really really good!". Like what you like and don't what you don't, for me without compliments I love everything about Layton
You’re right-the original Moustache predates Tuxedo by several decades. However, this 2018 EDP version of it is a complete departure from the original (it’s closer to an aromatic profile like Dior Eau Sauvage), and Tuxedo came out in 2015. So some folks might say Rochas took after Tuxedo…but I just say it’s a coincidence.
Chanel’s “Don’t F Around” policy is so extreme that even FragBuy has a disclaimer attached to ALL Chanel frags 😂😂 Great video as per usual , I think im gonna snag Singulier. You and Ross really giving it some love.
I want people to know about moustache, but at the same time I don’t want people to know about moustache
8 in 10 ppl do not wear fragrances so even if it is "known" it will still be _unknown_
I believe you mean 8 in 10 people 'do not ' wear fragrances...!
It's my top secret gem as well. Last time I wore this at a wedding, someone's girl is scooting at me and we were talking like ear to ear. I didn't make anything out of it, but I guess it's the fragrance lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're not alone, I understand your feelings... 🫂
Now you've nailed it, JC! Great topic and video! Quality vs Price Ratio is the name of the game, not giving in to hype and brands dictating unrealistic fragrance prices based on recognition and marketing. Pricing does not always equal quality in fragrances.
I smelled Tuxedo for the first time over the weekend and my goodness, I get it. I get it now. Currently saving up for it.
Did you ever smell moustache?
Tuxedo is way overrated, just a boring fragrance. If you like it go for Moustache.
@@DonMascarponI haven’t! I was thinking about getting a bottle of that first
Try „L’ Intense de blue“ Tuxedo Oud before, you pay 30 dollar and it smells 90% -95%same, oh i forgotten mention younger 200ml, you can thank me later😊👍🏾
@@tonnykeizer4732 Disagree. It's superb for it's price. Another clone that's also incredible is Rifaqaat Adorn. A cedar heavy twist.
Love it when you cover budget perfumes! Keep em coming sir!

Bro, you make my day. I apreciate this video a lot. Thank you man,
Thanks for watching!
Big fan of Day Three Fragrances. I love the way they interact with the air around me without being as "in your face."
I smelled Moustache for the first time a few months ago and I fell in love with it.
Awesome!

Happy new year Justin! I really want to appreciate you brother, youve put me on a game with this,!appreciate you brother and have a beautiful 2025!
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate that! I’m always here to help.

I appreciate that!
Great to see that the alternative to Ganymede is Bois Imperial. Only you can explain it clear enough that theyre not 1:1 substitute but rather cousins
Will look up and try Niche for all
Ganymede is awesoooommeee!
I concur! Ganymede smells amazingly good in my personal opinion! I love it!”
Club Black or Moustache for the winter months?
Moustache for me
👊🏻👊🏻@@stayfreshproductions
Could you recomend discounts websites?
I recommend one in a video every single month- Fragrancebuy
ua-cam.com/video/YCI5bBTJ_ow/v-deo.htmlsi=-k2Gro461UwD8BTh
Loewe 7 cobalt is my favorite bdc upgrade/alternative. It's awesome and lasts over 10 hours on me.
Hey Justin, thanks for giving us your thoughts on these scents! My question to you… with Ganymede, does it matter if it’s EDP or Extrait?
I prefer the EDP!
Singulier is just good all on its own.
It has about of brightness and it is my main gym bag fragrance.
Best low cost blue out there!
Yes!
Missoni Parfum Pour Homme is very much like Bleu de Chanel EDP.
A better Tuxedo clone is Divain 678. I have Tuxedo-Moustache & Divain. At first I didn't get the similaraties between Tuxedo and Moustache. I do get it now, a bit. But I cannot tell Tuxedo apart from Divain, which costed around 20 €/100 ML. And that with a nice bottle. Must admit Moustache is a beautiful bottle too.
Justin all I can say is you really need to get Tuxedo! I had both, I gave Tuxedo to my Uncle and Moustache Finished my Dad…both just Hit :)
absolutely agree ... i only blind bought few clones back in 2017, 2019 and recently ... almost 95% of them were disappointing!! the quality is almost always low
I totally understand
Hey Justin, can u compare Tom Ford Noir De Noir to Club De Nuit Intense for woman?
That Niche4All's Vanilla Oud alternative to Layton sounds interesting as I find Layton to have a VICKS® VapoRub smell to it that makes it a bit off-putting to me

Thanks for the tip!
Best quality per dollar was atelier des ors lune feline. I still can't believe how good it is and it's relatively cheap imo.
Lune Feline is absolutely Beautiful. I’d buy it from a discounter in a second. But the gold flakes is a problem for me. Don’t want glitter on my clothes or my skin.
I haven't been able to find Ganymede on discounters. Which sites do you find it on?
I didn’t get it from a discounter. But I’ve seen it pop up on Jomashop, I linked it in the description of this video but not sure if it’s still available.
@stayfreshproductions thanks broski
Moustache is a legitimate beautiful scent.
The kind of content that counts... Moustache is nice..got the big bottle 🎉
Filthy rich midnight in Dubai can you do some research on it please
I only have two clones. One is of a fragrance that's been discontinued for awhile. I have no idea how close it is to what it's cloning, I just know I like it for what it is. The other is for a really expensive frag I couldn't get a sample of. So I went with the clone, and I enjoy that one as well, even though, again, I have no idea how close it is to what it's cloning.
Which ones?
@johndavolta3124 Star Men Nebula and Turathi Blue.
Thank you
My wife loves Ganymede on me. I am absolutely done with it after half an hour of wear unfortunately :') there is something that rubs me the wrong way but I can't put my finger to it, might be the immortelle.
Ganymede is a bomb....in my place no one has it... I'm the only one😊
Having both of them Boucheron Singulier is like 90 % of Dior Sauvage EDT to me. Anyways, Singulier is great bang for your buck. 🎉
I love the YSL tuxedo dna but it’s to heavy to wear as casually as I would want. Rochas mustache scratches that itch for me and lets me get the vibe of tuxedo without the heavy feeling. In my opinion it definitely leans inspiration of Tuxedo but more of a sport flanker than a clone.
Why is this so accurate haha
Appy nu yrs to you an yours mate🙏🙏👍👍🥃🥃💎💎🇬🇧🇬🇧
Bois imperial is dope!!!!! Its really good and it LAST!!!!!!!!!
I used to buy OGs only for perfumes and makeup, but after trying many cheaper interpretations and discovering that many have better quality and last longer, i don't understand how can the expensive brands (in many if not most cases) justify the ridiculous high prices. I stopped buying expensive makeup and from perfumes i buy the OG when i think it's worth it.
Lime cocoa cola and rum 👍
I bought Moustache from Jomashop a few weeks ago for $20 😁
That was cheap😢
I am a rock girl polished or unpolished . Ganymede smells like wet slate to me, I like it. It was a HELL no to M. Tiger to him ir smelled like a blown electrical circuit.
Got rid of BDC EDP!?!? 🤯

I should try the niche4all, since doesn’t have that Vick vapor rub smell that I hate on Layton .
Got unsolicited compliment from Layton last week. She said "you smell really really good!". Like what you like and don't what you don't, for me without compliments I love everything about Layton
Moustache actually predates Tuxedo and to me, I think Mousyacje is a much better value even if the price were to double.
You’re right-the original Moustache predates Tuxedo by several decades. However, this 2018 EDP version of it is a complete departure from the original (it’s closer to an aromatic profile like Dior Eau Sauvage), and Tuxedo came out in 2015. So some folks might say Rochas took after Tuxedo…but I just say it’s a coincidence.
Maison Alhambra Tabac is supposedly a good clone of YSL Tuxedo, always out of stock tho
No it’s « the tux » , not tabac. If you are in Europe I can sell you a bottle or a partial/decant…
@@mrxdu681 compared the notes of both and look nothing alike
Chanel’s “Don’t F Around” policy is so extreme that even FragBuy has a disclaimer attached to ALL Chanel frags 😂😂 Great video as per usual , I think im gonna snag Singulier. You and Ross really giving it some love.
Check out El Dorado Extrait for a Ganymede clone.
