I'm in the UK and have six Pefume Parlour PDM clones. I also have samples of the same OG's. Having used both I will never pay the full markup for the OG. I think sometimes because some pay, in some cases 100s of dollars/pounds they convince themselves the OG's are far better when in truth they aren't. In some cases I think my pp pdm clones are nicer than the OG's.
Correct. I like to use the plain black t shirt analogy. Slap a tiny designer logo on it and charge an extra 100 what one are you going to say is better.
I got a "back in stock" notice this week for Jack of Clubs... I wonder if $52 for a clone of a designer qualifies as a "decent price" in Ash's opinion. For now, I've decided to hold off for the original.
Wait til it comes back in stock at Fragranceshop, I think they had it for like 28 bucks plus shipping. I'm not recommending it, I haven't tried it, I just know they had the best price.
It’s terrible anyway. Don’t believe the hype with fragrance world fragrances. Mine came with a broken atomiser and it smells like it’s inspired by the original but it’s terribly synthetic
I purchased Star Men Nebula on Ash's recommendation because i also own Pure Malt and Pure Havane. The opening of Star Men does have a small hint of Pure Malt to it, but it is shortly lived, and the rest of the fragrance just goes off into the ether somewhere. And the somewhere is not close to anything that is Pure. I can promise you that. Maybe my nose is bad but to me, so is Star Men Nebula. Thanks Ash, I know, everybody's nose is different.
How long have you had it? I know people disagree on this, but I really have had a couple fragrances get so much better with some maceration time. Maybe put it away for a couple months and check in again.
All of these get better with some age. Without exception every clone I have and that's many get better over time. Some improve drastically. Sapil Bound is great clone or not. If you like Asad I'm sure you will like Bound
I live in a hot and humid country so Milestone is amazing choice for almost everything. Jack of Clubs from Fragrance World is also a pleasant surprised as L Nuit is one of my fav perfume of all time.
Hey Ash👋 Crafted Oud by Maison Alhambra is said to be a better clone for TF Oud Wood. Have you any experience with it? Great video ! Much appreciated 👏 😊
I love Afro Leather. First time I used it I sprayed it like it was Polo Blue so I got a headache for hours haha. Next time I would just do 2 sprays on me and two on my clothes...
Musamam has got to be a clone of Bvlgari Kobraa. I smelt it and it immediately clicked. Only later after I bought I made the connection with the tacky snake on the Lattafa.
I own Dusk and it doesn't last super long, but it's decent. About 6-8 hrs on skin. I paid $40 for it. Smells like apple pie pretty much, but with a hint of a metallic/inky essence. Never smelled OG Layton but Dusk is a nice scent.
When it comes to Pegasus clone I will choose Alhambra Perseus over Armaf Craze. I think Craze is too strong in certain note that I don't like, while Perseus is more balanced and pleasing in my nose, reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Sport with almond added
100% agree. Have both and perseus actually had better performance lol. It did have to oxidize/macerate for a weekish tho before the almond started to smell sweeter.
@@Snk13_ty I'm not sure how high your expectation is, I just can say, if you ever smelled Craze and didn't like it, you won't experience the same with Perseus
Great video Ash. Thx a lot for sharing it. Thumbs up to your channel. Wishing you & yours all Happiness prosperity and success. Have a wonderful Monday. Cheers 🙌🏼🤍
Quick question. I received a sample of Lattafa Asad and after about 45-60 minutes it starting to remind of something else I own. Now 2 hrs later it's almost the same as Oud for Glory. Am I going crazy or is there something to this? Love the vid. Greetings from Netherland
Mhhhh it reminds me more of Dior Sauvage Elixir but with some cola vibes and oriental vibes..but maybe that oriental vibes are similar to oud for glory?!
I have some of these. Great clones! Jack Of Clubs is literally impossible to get right now. I opted to get Lattafa Al Nashma Caprice instead. I'll go with that till JOC gets back in stock.
Update. JOC just dropped. I just ordered three bottles. The max allowed. Might as well till they are not available again. It's a hot item right now to be dropping it just after midnight on New Year's Day. My life is almost complete. Haha. Cheers.
Hello, I follow you on youtube for some time now. That is how I found Armaf club de nuit that i love and I just got Asad from Lattafa today. But this is not why i write to you, I need your help to find a clone for Dsquared2 she wood (the pink one) but not the round shaped bottle. The older one. I find the original very hard now. I was wondering if you know any alternative to this.
You can find frequencies you cannot even imagine cloned in former Yogoslavian company called Molly's, located in Belgravian private house's backyards in the property of the Mr. Telly Savallosec, alias Nose Cose👍
What would be a clone for Parfums de Marley - Perceval? I really love the smell but can’t see to spend that kind of money on a cologne my fiancé will spray 6+times and go through a bottle quickly
3 favorite clones of mine so far are... 1. FOMO Gary's Den (Dior Homme Parfum) 2. Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge (Baccarat Rouge 540) 3. Paris Corner Identity (Portrait of a Lady)
so like.. didnt lataffa get hit with the ole razzle dazzle from tom ford for the private blend knock off bottles? fragrance world just looked at them pulling all the stuff off the shelves and said, eh why not?
Better for the price point I think he says that. I’m pretty sure they are in my opinion. Clones are great for blind buys they are cheap and I try to get them 90% similar. Usually that 10% difference is in the opening. I assume because of quality
Noticed something with a lot of the cologne reviews from UA-camrs. Why don't they pay more attention with us being able to see labels. It seems they talk fast, often butcher the name of the cologne and then stand there with the bottle in their hand so you can't see the label, or set it on a surface with an unfocused camera. I watch these videos to learn and buy some of these products, but you can't buy what you don't know the name of.
Seems like you’re docking points from Oud Absolute Magnifique 7 because it’s not close to M7. I’ve never tried them but seems to me like M7 & M7 Oud Absolu are different fragrances. Perhaps Lattafa Masama is a clone of M7 while Magnificent 7 is a clone of M7 Oud Absolu. Seems like this is kinda like Invictus Aqua 16 vs ‘18 in the sense that they’re supposed to be the same but they’re truly different.
Ash might be impressed by Musamam by Lattafa but in reality this one is way challenging 😂😂😂.Musamam is not for those with a freshy leaning taste and sweet tooth!
Wait a minute Ash, I'm pretty sure that you said that Sapil Bound was a clone of Armani Code Profumo but you're showing a bottle of Acqua Di Gio Profumo. HUH??? Which one is it bro??
I find Fragrance Worlds Posh Malt a superior clone in every way to Star Man Nebula , and the extra $10 or so you will pay , is well worth it ! Imo, it is better blended and a much closer dupe ,
I have question for you guys: Since when Western world make fragrances compared with arabic, well, Eastern world? When you find the answer you have explanation of this futile endeavours.
No. only if you are talking about price to value. If you compare cheap clones to the originals side by side you will immediately notice the difference in blend and quality
Maybe it's off then somehow, or maybe bad batch? I have mine, and atleast mine smells awesome - I mentioned I propably liked the opening best. Hard to say, but might be something weird on the one you got?
@@finparkour I have no idea, but if it would go bad would it be bad only in the opening? I've read some reviews online and many people had the same issue. That it smells like mushrooms and even other vegetables.
Why don't you feature Alexandria, Dua, KDJ or PerfumeParlour? why must every clone be from a middle eastern company to be featured? It has puzzled me for a while
He 💯 percent does, just like i do. Some of those fragrances are many times the price of the clones, but not mucu better if at all. Stop being a hater/loser and try and be positive in life. Ash is a great guy.
For Sapil Bound you said Armani Code Profumo but showed a video of Acqua Di Gio Profumo. The clone is of the Code Profumo 😉
And it's a trash clone.
😬
Great video Ash! Love the homage to my favorite show of all time, The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling was a genius.
Armaf Milrstone is an amazing everyday warm weather scent. My everday scent during summer.
No it is not amazing. İt is disgusting

You said "code" and showed "di gio"
It’s terrible anyway. Don’t believe the hype with fragrance world fragrances. Mine came with a broken atomiser and it smells like it’s inspired by the original but it’s terribly synthetic
Yo love the cubbies shirt....was not aware you were chicago sports fan! The collar went with the cap the first time i opened Craze.
Confused...at 8:05 you say Sabil is a clone of Code Profumo, but you show a pic of Acqua di Gio ....
Thanks for sharing Ash
Sapil is actually more of a clone of Armani Code Absolu, but a little more dense as if Code Absolu had an Absolu Intense flanker
Who do I trust 🌝

Yup. You are right. Star men nebula is trash and not close to the pure malt. That insurrection one is much closer.

Could you do a video of the just clones that are best combinations to layer together please?
Thanks for the List and Video 😀
Happy New Year !!!
I live in a hot and humid country so Milestone is amazing choice for almost everything. Jack of Clubs from Fragrance World is also a pleasant surprised as L Nuit is one of my fav perfume of all time.
It would be nice to hear about sillage and performance
I miss the in depth reviews
Happy🎉 new years ash😊
Armani Code Profumo, but showing an Aqua Di Gio. 😂 He doesn't mess up often, so I'll let it slide. Lol
😂😂😂
Hey Ash👋 Crafted Oud by Maison Alhambra is said to be a better clone for TF Oud Wood. Have you any experience with it? Great video ! Much appreciated 👏 😊
Hello- I'm new to the latest perfumes. Could you please tell me which ones are for women?
that intro sold me! time to take a trip to the clone zone 😂
I love Afro Leather. First time I used it I sprayed it like it was Polo Blue so I got a headache for hours haha. Next time I would just do 2 sprays on me and two on my clothes...
Musamam has got to be a clone of Bvlgari Kobraa. I smelt it and it immediately clicked. Only later after I bought I made the connection with the tacky snake on the Lattafa.
What can you recommend im new to the fragrance hobby. Im an office man
Prada l’homme, ysl y edp intense. Try before you buy always.
Only having Victorioso, Intense peach n Club De Nuit Milestone from the 12...Thanks Ash
I own Dusk and it doesn't last super long, but it's decent. About 6-8 hrs on skin. I paid $40 for it. Smells like apple pie pretty much, but with a hint of a metallic/inky essence. Never smelled OG Layton but Dusk is a nice scent.
Did you try Royal Equestrian from Alexandria Fragrances? It's super long lasting. I never tried Dusk though so I can't compare.
sapil bound is actually a clone of armani code profumo... the notes are exact one to one
8.08 you put the wrong pic for proumo lol
Which should i get ? Intense Peach from FW oder Bright Peach from maison alhambra guys ?
I only have two clones, Star Men Nebula (which is awesome) and Tobacco Touch which is also awesome and is VERY close to Tobacco Vanille.
more like ck one shock to my nose
Nothing unique ..
That INTRO WAS FANTASTIC!
Star and afro are great .
When it comes to Pegasus clone I will choose Alhambra Perseus over Armaf Craze. I think Craze is too strong in certain note that I don't like, while Perseus is more balanced and pleasing in my nose, reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Sport with almond added
Just got a bottle and couldn’t agree more . Perseus is so much smoother
100% agree. Have both and perseus actually had better performance lol. It did have to oxidize/macerate for a weekish tho before the almond started to smell sweeter.
Is Perseus well blended? Also is there a harsh chemical smell off the top? And if so does it get better through the dry down?
@@Snk13_ty I'm not sure how high your expectation is, I just can say, if you ever smelled Craze and didn't like it, you won't experience the same with Perseus
@@roccofili3054 on me Armaf Craze has ZERO performance. A real waste of money.
Great video Ash. Thx a lot for sharing it. Thumbs up to your channel. Wishing you & yours all Happiness prosperity and success. Have a wonderful Monday. Cheers 🙌🏼🤍
Sapil Bound is a compliment king for me.
I honestly do not see how Invictus platinum and bad boy Cobalt smell even remotely close. Can anyone explain this one to me?
For fun video : Top 10 fragrances with full black bottle or nearly full black 😊 Or other color, white, blue, transparent, etc.

is parfums de marly worth the price
There are clones for almost every one of Parfums de Marly scents.. just FYI
Only if you buy them at discount.
Couldn’t compliment Star Men Nebula enough. That fragrance is just an absolute BEAUTY! From the opening to the dry down, 💯% never disappoints
It smells like something an elderly person would wear. Are you getting paid to make these false claims?
@@Snk13_ty smells like play doh to me
@andresmaximus2885 Right like musty play doh.
Not even close to Mugler pure malt. $25 in the toilet 🚽

Do any of your links ship to uk ? Trying to buy lattafa khamrah qahwa here in the uk is impossible
i still have half a bottle of craze. and yes, that bottle is so flimsy, the top cracked, and the sprayer is falling apart, but the juice is nice

Armani code Profumo or aqua di gio Profumo, I’m confused. You said code but showed gio, so which one is it?
Bound is a clone of code perfomo the brown one 😁 it just a mistake while editing
@@vickyratanghyra thanks
Armani code Profumo, but shows aqua di gio Profumo. Which is it?
Haven’t watched this thru yet but Spectre Ghost and FOMO Garry’s Den BEST be on this list !
Those two get SO close to the original
How is the performance on spectre ghost

One question, You mention that SAPIL is a clone of armani code profumo but you show the bottle of aqua di gio profumo. Which one is correct?
Nebula is awesome af one of my favorites too
Hey can you review Bianco Latte Eau De Parfum by Giardini di Toscana
I love your videos but thanks to @Gent Scents I am now a scent addict and collector 😄
He has caused me to spend a lot of money.
Try Al Rehab’s Dakar- apparently more like the OG Drakkar Noir than the current version. For a Fiver 😅
Another banger video! Thanks for looking out for the guys that can't spend $200 to $400 on a bottle of cologne
Ash, please review Orientica Xo Xclusif Bleu, and let me know what you think :)

You forgot to change out of your Cubs pajamas.
😂

Podrias hacer un video de dupes de Tom Ford exclusivo? Tom Ford noir extreme SERIA BUENO. Gracias
Le recomiendo Mercedes Benz Select Night, bien similar a TF Noir Extreme.
that Bound clone smells nothing like Aqua di Gio - and my wife hates it - but loves Furfumo
I love your YT channel :-)
Whats up ash.greetings from el paso texas.
So the title says that these fragrances are BETTER than the real thing and immediately contradict that statement.

When you talles about Sapil Bound for Men you said it’s a clone of “Armani CODE Profumo” but you showed Acqua di Gio Profumo, so what’s a clone of? 😅
Afro Leather and then a big cat from South America walks on by.. 😂

Guerlain Platine Prive
Armaf Craze is a banger!!
Lattafa - Craze aint for man, i gave it away. It's beast mode but put it on the toilet if you bough it.
Dusk is great. Smells amazing
Amber oud exclusif bleu is way better, almost 100% similar and it's beast mode..
Just got the Armaf Milestone as a Christmas gift and it’s my day to day use right now. Dropping a review on it soon
That stuff is rancid. Really bad. Harsh chemical smell all the way through from the opening to the dry down.
You better be a Rod Sterling impersonator 😂😂😂😂
I find Fragrance Worlds Posh Malt a superior clone in every way to Star Man Nebula , and the extra $10 or so you will pay , is well worth it ! Imo, it is better blended and a much closer dupe ,
It's slightly better performing, and has a bit more of the top notes than Nebula. You can't go wrong with either, but Posh Malt is the better option.
@@jove1155 Cannot get past that rough Nebula opening .
you said sapil bound was a code for armani code profumo and showed a bottle of aqua di gio profumo. threw me off for a second.
You're still the Best!!!!
Jack of Clubs is finally back in stock.
StarMen is maybe 60% in the same realm as Pure Malt.
Sapil is a clone of Armani Code you showed thumbnail of ADG Purfumo
content for content sake, somebody else edits
Anyone else notice the Drakar bottle had a roommate appear after the first Clone Zone comparison?
Yeah, it was the YSL M7 that he was talking about right before the edit.
"Musamam" is Arabic for poisoned, which explains the snake on the bottle.
I have question for you guys: Since when Western world make fragrances compared with arabic, well, Eastern world? When you find the answer you have explanation of this futile endeavours.

Yes, in terms of bang for buck
No. only if you are talking about price to value. If you compare cheap clones to the originals side by side you will immediately notice the difference in blend and quality
Opening of Milestone smells like mushrooms to me and anyone whom i showed it to. Dry down is awesome, but first hour is terrible.

Chopard Oud Malaki
Would love a Le Labo Another 13 clone

Preach. I can’t wait until we get an unbiased reviewer that takes a hard look at these other dupe clone houses

because those middle eastern houses pay very well. It's not complicated
@@ClassicModernGentleman I am subscribed to him now, thanks.
Do they have lower price and better performance and also the closest scent to the original at the same time than these mentioned clones?
Ohh look another clone video from Ash 😊
I don’t even need to watch the video to know that you don’t believe one word of that title.
Important to take into account some factors he mentioned mostly price, availability,...
Not really a valid evidence claim. The intro literally puts a disclaimer eliminating unnecessary hyping
He 💯 percent does, just like i do. Some of those fragrances are many times the price of the clones, but not mucu better if at all. Stop being a hater/loser and try and be positive in life. Ash is a great guy.
They are better because they are cheaper than the original
