    These Middle Eastern houses are putting out great clones right now. Some of them are so close to the real thing that it’s actually mind boggling for some people. You can get these fragrances for close to nothing online, a lot of them smell almost identical to the real deal and most of them out perform what it’s cloning. It’s almost to the point to where it’s hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on these designer/niche brands when you have these clone houses that are doing it so well. They save people from having to buy from brands that are just price gouging their customers.

      @@ApriliaRacer14 Exactly. It’s making these higher end brands look more and more ridiculous for selling their fragrances for $200+. A fragrance that smells damn near the same, has better performance and has better presentation, but only costs $20. It makes you realize that these companies are way overpriced on their fragrances.

      ​@@405FragrancesMy only concern is, are these middle eastern brands using safe and good ingredients?
      If someone can confirm that it's good enough, I'll abandon designer perfumes. The prices of these designer perfumes are getting ridiculous. Recently I saw designer perfumes going for $100-150. In the same store, I saw Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Ombre leather for $175. I would rather get them which have somewhat got ingredients than designer perfumes which are mostly synthetic as well.

    For me personally i'm not against people who prefer to buy clone cause of the much better price, but for me at the end of the day i want to enjoy the fragrance which is the most important thing is the scent itself, up until now i never come across a dupe fragrance that smell better than the original, they may be have better performance but never a better scent, it's not a bad scent it smells similar it just not as good and it's a bit rougher than the original. The only clone that i can enjoy is club de nuit milestone although the creed version is more classy and club de nuit intense pure parfum that one i can enjoy it as much as i enjoy creed aventus although still compared to creed aventus the scent itself is still more classy than armaf

    Why is it everyone says that L'Aventure and L'Aventure Intense are so fruity and juicy with a lot of pineapple? I smell literally NO fruits!! All it smells like to me is like I was climbing a tree to cut branches and my climbing gear broke so I had to suddenly grab the trunk and got tree sap all over me, but then fell anyway right into a patch of geraniums that I rolled through and broke all the stems of, and while I was doing that I for some reason decided to take a bar of green Dial soap and cram it so far up my nose that I could taste it on the back of my tongue. I must be missing a gene or something because if there are fruits and/or pineapple in this scent profile, it's news to me.

Lasts for 12 hours and all for less than £25.👍 Another couple of great Creed clones from Armaf are Milestone and Sillage. Clones of Millesime Imperial and Silver Mountain Water. Smell 95% but last way longer than the current batches from Creed. Both are about £30-35 for 105ml bottles..

      The one Lattafa perfume international reviewers don't seem to talk about much is Lattafa Raghba, a clone of 24 gold by Scentstory. I've been into perfumes since 3-4 years, and when I ordered a sample of 24 gold, it was love at first sniff. I consider it in my top 5. I'm sure there are better perfumes, but I haven't had the chance to try many niche perfumes. When I heard a reviewer talk about its clone for $15, I blind bought it and it's pretty similar. There's some nuances of 24 gold missing but it's still quite good.

    What’s the performance like for imperial? I have Zion and Elysian but the performance is so weak on me (my opinion).

    • @gilbertoflores7397
      @gilbertoflores7397 Рік тому

      Not very good either. The issue with that scent is it seems to use notes that just don't last very long even if they use high quality ingredients or not. With elysium I get about 6-7 hours, which is honestly good enough for a regular workday. You don't need it to last any longer, just reapply if you're going out later or something. You should start to accept that some fragrance styles don't last long, even in the niche version of said scents.

      I think it's more that some people can't drop +$200 at once. Or, as in my case, I'm just getting into collecting. So I got a bottle of Exclusif Bleu 2oz + Versace Dylan 3.4oz + & D&G The One 3.4oz + Armaf Hunter + Lattafa Fakhar 3.4oz + Lattafa Asad 3.4oz, for around $220, as opposed to that 1 bottle for $200. Im sure as I get more into niche frags, it'll change. But for now, I'll stay under $100/btl. Lol, that's how, in one month, I was able to spend less than 2k & build my collection from 4 btl to 32. So, in theory, I could have bought layton, but I have more of a variety with 30+ bottles than I would have spending $200+/btl. Ya know?

      I'm not sure how many people start out buying $200/btls right off the bat. But from what I've seen in the frag community. That's usually not the case. You've been collecting frags since a kid, right? So it makes sense that you would. Although, I've always had a few bottles of cologne since I'm young. Back when Gravity, Tommy, cool water, & ck one were some of the go-to's, lol. I just started to really enjoy the art of collecting.

Diversity and discovery of what one likes should be the focus in the beginning. Find your lanes then you can go for different price tiers if wanted.I’ve always had a 3-5 bottle rotation since a kid, usually Aqua Di Gios,Issy Mayakis, Abercrombie’s, Tommy Hilfiger’s,Cool Water and Curve.Haha It may sound crazy for a kid,definitely didn’t come from money, but that’s what I’d ask for Christmas/bday etc...I’d say my true “collecting” started around 2017 though.I had a decent base of 8-10 frags before I grabbed a few hefty priced ones,and still used discounters. Clones have really made a statement within the last 2-3 years from what I’ve seen and I’ll gladly pick them up and sit them next to Creed Royal Oud/GIT.It’s not about brands,it’s the juice…I’ll suggest you grab Woody Oud by Al Hambra. Beautiful recreation of TF Oud Wood,if you’re into that profile.

After one hour that vanilla note is becoming more and more present and it ruins the whole impression, because it smels cheap. After one hour it's losing that Elixir direction and going in it's own way, which I didn't like. I don't exactly remember how long it lasts, I sold it soon after I bought it.

    One of the only clones I've come across that is close to being able to replace the original is Missoni Wave. Smells 95% similar to Chanel AHS, and even perforns better. But most other clones still can't compete with the original, in my experience.

      @@ka0h_ If a fragrance smells at least 90% similar to an original fragrance, I consider it a clone. People say it is a hybrid between Chanel AHS and Versace Pour Homme, but I believe it smells a lot closer to the Chanel. Main difference being that the Chanel smells higher quality (obviously) and the Missoni Wave is a little sweeter. But like I said, to my untrained nose it smells 90-95% like Chanel AHS. I get about 6-7 hours longevity, which is pretty decent for my skin.
