Just received this today - love at first spray!! Think it’s gonna be amazing in a few weeks, quite a feminine, powdered rose. I get the rose, citrus, ylangylang, orris, sandalwood, oakmoss and civet, with perhaps a touch of the fig. Roja obviously does smell higher quality, but this is an outstanding offering from Fragrance world imo. Kind of insane considering I paid £35 all in…
I bought the Divin... and its okay. I DID however buy "Sweetie Aoud" and it is... beautiful! As far as the cost differential, the Roja is 20 times more expensive...
Hey can you get into the house of Alexandria fragrances because they have a lot of dupes that smell identical to the original. I have burj khalifa (amber aoud) from AF and it smells wonderful. Also have side effect, DHP, black phantom, lost cherry, black afgano etc and they smell spot on!
Fragrance world is circling the wagons when it comes to cloning. Jack Of Clubs = Bleu Electrique clone Midori = Greenley clone Star Men Nebula = Pure Malt clone Imperium = Elysium clone
@@trencher7Divin Asylum is the smoother version. I like to use Imperium and Divin Asylum at the same time, Imperium sprayed on my shirt Divin Asylum on my skin.
I got a sample of imperium and loved it, then got a bottle of divine asylum. Now it seems sickly sweet but it's supposed to be a summer freshie... got another sample of Imperium coming so I can compare a bit more :)
Ash! I can't take it any more! Please turn your mic around so only the clip is visable!! Clip on the outside, mic on the inside! It will still sound perfect. 🎤🔁
@@SnoopyRu1980 bought this for £21. The bottle looks nice and it's a show-off for your collection but the juice inside the bottle is disappointing. It will smell nice after 10 sec of spray and after 20mins it's just a normal cheapy smell stuck with you.
@Joshua.26 new batches of Roja dove elysium parfum cologne ( my recent purchase) actually have better projection and longevity. Just heard that divin asylum was a lot richer so figured it was a lot closer to the parfum version
I’m a college student that’s just getting into fragrances. I recently fell in love with Pacco Rabanne’s one million elixir and wanted to know if there were any cheaper alternatives that could get me close?
One million itself is quite cheap for a fragrance it's an expensive hobby generally speaking. But if you look for a clone of 1 million I can recommend Antonio banderas the gold secret
I bought Divin Aoud and I was so excited for this purchase but once I received this cologne it has to be the worst smelling fragrance I’ve ever smelled. I sprayed it on my skin and it made my wife gag and my kids wouldn’t come near me they wouldn’t even come in the same room as me 😂
What is the official website to buy directly from this brand because as a guy that owns a lot of the actual scents I see people review I must see how close they are being I’m paying $400 plus a bottle
Love the scent profile of the OG and do NOT own it. I do have Alexandria Fragrances Burj Khalifa, and Paris Corner's Ministry of Oud Amber Oud. Can you compare Divin Aoud to either of those? Better, same, worse?
@@obrooksjr3 No worries. I only have six Roja OGs, the cologne/parfum releases. Love them all. I have 28 Roja clones, to include a few clones of my OGs. They are just so astronomically expensive, and/or were only made once in small batches, that it's the only way I can do it. It's interesting to watch vids where he describes how he comes up with an idea, starts putting it together, and goes through the complex process.
I have not found a cheap Oud better than Frank Oliver’s “Oud touch.” I would like to, but I think I’ll try one of Mancera’s Ouds. Cheap ouds are starting to smell like a chemistry set to me. Is that how this hobby works?
Those who say that the perfume does not last get completely noseblind to it... On the other hand, I still don't know if it clones the PC or the pure parfum
I have to agree, Divin Asylum needs to sit. When I got mine, it performed like 3 hour max.. very disappointed. BUT after it sat for a month, it now performs from 6-8 hours on skin, I'm amazed now! LOL Perhaps for me, the best clone outside of the Armaf CREW (Aventus, MI, SMW, BDC, BR540)
I have a bottle of Divin Asylum and it's my current favourite fragrance. It's an excellent clone of Roja Elysium. I have the original Elysium and I use Divin Asylum a little more. It's an expensive clone but a very high quality fragrance.
@@wildleone agree bro , but the sent profile will be more popular, and then you will smell it everywhere while you pay much money to use such fragrance for special occasions. This happened to me with some of my fragrances like aventus which doesn't work for special occasions anymore because it's too popular.
@native7876 No batch code, and on the side of the bottle, it doesn't have Roja parfum written on it. I have a real Musk Aoud from RD. Joma shop approved the return! But 400 dollars for a fake is concerning
@native7876 Bro, samething happened to me from fragrancebuyca. I bought several things from fragrance buy, and everything was always legit. I recently bought a Roja Parfums eylisum pour homme, and it was fake. I'm done! Just buying direct now.
Roja stopped writing Roja on the side of their bottles, I just bought Musk Aoud and Aoud directly from the Roja site and neither have Roja written on them like the older bottles I have.
For what it’s worth, I’m buying from the Roja house just to support their fragrance development. Clone houses have it easy, they just need to copy what already exist and pump it out at lower costs. While these houses have to test and release their fragrances. If it works, they make a profit, if it doesn’t then they’re swallowing their failure. The hard work they put in will just be for nothing. I do support some clone houses for making discontinued scents, that’s something that I would like them to do more often, then again it’s a numbers game. And even clone houses only want to clone what sells quick. 🤷♂️
It's still more expensive than it should be. If they lowered the price, more people would buy it. Most people are thinking "Should I buy Roja or make a house payment?".
@@SmellsAddicted oh definitely, I know exactly what you mean. Some of their prices are ridiculous. I’m talking about on the level of their parfum cologne stuff. Elysium and Creation-E etc. Outside of that, the prices for their higher end perfumes seem marketed more towards the snobs with money, rather than you’re average frag collector.
Agree 100% Example Smokey Plum from Athens Fragrances. I bought Plum Japonais and used it up. This new fragrance is very close. Make it a Great Day! Cheers!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Both Divin dupes are trash especially Longevity. Don't waste your time. Grab Ministry of Ouds "Amber Oud" It's a better version of Divin auod. If you know how ministry of Ouds clone of Mfks Oud satin is then you know what I'm talking about. Everything from the ministry of Oud line bangs.. 90-95 percent close in all dupes and longevity too is a no brainer...
Oh please! Give us a break. Clone houses cater to people who would never buy or can’t afford to buy a $700 bottle of cologne. They are not taking sales away from the OG. Those who can afford will always buy the OG. I would!

Theres not enough coverage of their fragrances. Most likely because theyve been around so long. They come out with new ones frequently.
I have yet to get anything from Alexandria fragrances that disappoints. Wearing visionary right now infact.
Fragrance world is circling the wagons when it comes to cloning.
Jack Of Clubs = Bleu Electrique clone
Midori = Greenley clone
Star Men Nebula = Pure Malt clone
Imperium = Elysium clone
Where can I buy Fragrance World fragrances?? I’ve been looking for Midori, but I can’t find anywhere that sells it.
i saw it on amazon but a while ago
Imperium was terrible. Super weak and a skin scent in like 30 min. Sold my bottle immediately.

Hi love from Delhi india...... That company supply quality dupes..... Price in India is 36 dollar
Awesome review. I got this yesterday here in the UK, and I can't complain 😊
what website did you buy it from? cheers
I've been trying to buy divin asylum to compare it to Roja dove elysium parfum cologne but it's always sold out! Lol 😀
I have it and I'm kinda disappointed with it. I'm gonna let it sit until next summer and hope the performance gets better.

@@SnoopyRu1980it’s not, elysium has trash performance and so are other clones. 3 hrs max

Afnan Ornament
Rapport Sport, the blue one is pretty close to One Million EDT. FWIW.
One million itself is quite cheap for a fragrance it's an expensive hobby generally speaking. But if you look for a clone of 1 million I can recommend Antonio banderas the gold secret
Paris Corner Autobiography Paramount
Trinidad Fan in the house Ash 👍
Any black afgano clones?
Please try out KALEMATE BLACK by the house of Arabian Oud

Wait actually?? Lol
I agree
Bruh you are talking like that was a bad thing lol.
so you’re telling me there’s a magical elixir that will give me privacy for 4-5 hours? 😂

It’s just pronounced oud no matter the spelling. The spelling is different from brand to brand to capture the Arabic pronounciation of the word oud.
I have not found a cheap Oud better than Frank Oliver’s “Oud touch.” I would like to, but I think I’ll try one of Mancera’s Ouds. Cheap ouds are starting to smell like a chemistry set to me. Is that how this hobby works?
Try Maison Alhambra L’Oudh

What guy’s sotd roja elysinum 👍🔥
I like you reviews a fragrance Ash..so funny and versatile..keep it up..
Lets go ash 🎉🎉🎉
Divin Asylum is much better... Performance is trash at the beginning but if you let it sit 2 weeks it gets waaayyy better. 6h+. Great Elysium clone
I get 11 hours + with asylum after letting it sit for 3 weeks
Those who say that the perfume does not last get completely noseblind to it...

Winter is near!
Hello from SWEDEN 🎉🎉.
Can you do a video on lime fragrances?
Bohemian Lime and Malibu party at the beach are my two favorite with a dominant lime note. Both perform exceptionally well for citrus based scents.
Not now. It’s fall already
@CharmingChowder23 It's August... and over 90° here every day! 😂
Bro I beg you, get some detail spray, and wipe the finger prints off your sign. It’s driving my OCD crazy!😂
That is some major OCD
Divin Asylum vs Roja Elysium
Roja is ripping of people too.
😂😂😂😂
What, what??? I paid $500 for my Amber Aoud😮 this is the first time I hate clones. what's next Sahraa by fragrance du Bois???
Bro let's be honest there is no way the quality is the same.
@@wildleone agree bro , but the sent profile will be more popular, and then you will smell it everywhere while you pay much money to use such fragrance for special occasions.

@DUKHYZJO I agree with you on that one.
Quick update I haven checked the company they have Elysium and danger wow
People really exist that pay that much for a bottle of cologne?
10% after original has been discounted? This has to be the benchmark of a clone fragrance.
Divin asylum next
Bro I got a fake amber aoud from joma shop! Be careful because I believe you told the views about their sale.

Asylum is much better
Enjoy watching I think your set up seams a bit far away from the camera to me at least
Fragrance world perfumes are weak,I bought the imperium and it doesn't last long
You have to get them, spray them about 10 times, and then let them macerate. There's a crazy difference when you do
@justynnr noticed this with most middle eastern clone fragrances.
Get divin asylum, it lasts better than zion from alexandria fragrances which lasted longer than elysium
says “perfumes are weak” but you only bought one which is notoriously not long lasting
🤘
F..k paying ful price uf you can get a clone that's 90-95 percent close!!!!!
overpriced roja!!!
Both Divin dupes are trash especially Longevity. Don't waste your time. Grab Ministry of Ouds "Amber Oud" It's a better version of Divin auod.

Sponsored by Fragrance World, a house that rips off other houses
Oh please! Give us a break. Clone houses cater to people who would never buy or can’t afford to buy a $700 bottle of cologne. They are not taking sales away from the OG. Those who can afford will always buy the OG. I would!
They rip off the overpriced niche and completely expose them, plus niche houses rip off everyone. That's a win for me.
Fragrance World trash clone house.
Again with the “ah-ood”. It’s just oud, dude.
