Love your videos, just wish you covered how long they last, been identical to the original is great, but I'm sure how long they last is equally important.
I got a couple of bottles of Kismet Angel as gifts back in 2022. They absolutely loved it. Glad it was close enough to Angel's Share as by the time I got them that, AS had gone up in price. I got my bottle for about $190 from Sak's and now that same 50ml bottle is $100 more now. Getting that close to the real deal for $25-30 is a steal.
maceration is the process of aging a perfume blend in a container (or bottle) to allow the oils and alcohol to marinate and create a stronger, longer-lasting scent. It's also known as fragrance aging or oxidizing the fragrance.
Wow, great comparison, I have Maahir legacy. It works good for hot summer. I am definitely going to try preciux and la yuqawam. Have khamrah so kismet not needed now. Keep doing this comparison, nice format of comparing 5 at a time. Actually I came for liquid brun by seeing thumbnail 😂
Pegasus is my all time favorite. I always thought of it as Hypnotic Poison for men lol. (Hypnotic Poison is also my favorite perfume for women) Craze is good, but it doesn't give you that kind of lavender/almond body lotion scent in the middle. I find Pegasus almost has a coconut vibe in the dry down as well. Fantastic stuff!
While I no doubt would love Sedley, except for the pricing….I really loved wearing Maahir Legacy all summer long. Such a bright vibrant, Sprite lime frag with great push
Great video! I don’t want to already pile on the list of fragrances to review but I thought reviewing Goldfield & Banks fragrances might be worth it, a smaller brand but it’s gotten some hype recently with its scents, especially Silky Woods Elixir and Bohemian Lime. Molton Brown is another brand that seems to have underrated fragrances based on reviews. However these fragrances are definitely more expensive so maybe if you do review these, a discovery set might work better.
I appreciate the effort you put on reviewing cheaper fragance options, I would only ask you please not to get into the clone side just like every influencer seems to be doing nowdays, it is so obvious how clone houses are "investing" on positive and constant opinions about their fragances that is not even entertaining anymore, actually it's becoming annoying Have you reviewed Polo 67 yet?
@ChadSecrets I know you did man, I wasn't implying the opposite (just in case), I just meant I would hate you turning into one of those guys talking about clones all the time. I will look for your review on Polo 67, thanks bro!
been wanting to check out Rasasi La Yuqawam for years ( have read its incredible) and also recently with the precieux but same issue, I just wont pay that much for clone. PRECIEUX for 70 bucks and its not even 100ml! Id much rather put my money to other scents. wanted by night 100ml tester was 5 bucks more than the armaf... completely different scents I know, but clones are for the frugal lmaooo
@@ChadSecrets yup grabbed it a earlier this year ago on fragbuy restocks. amazing scent. tester with no cap( I know you hate no cap) but like you said isnt instock often and only tester was available.
Bro bext dupe vid like this please include lattafa jasoor (clone of coral fantasy)🙏 it doesnt have much content around it but in every vid they glaze it and im curious
The creed absolu clone is £90 😮 but after i used every discount i had, it got to £67 which feels like less of a sting. Definitely not paying £90 for a clone lol
If you want an actual Angel share clone you should be getting Royal Blend. It’s $30 and EASILY better than any other Angel share clone and is an extrait that last 10-12 hours lol
@ I tried a couple of the clones and Royal Blend is the best one. I have both, I save the OG Angel Share for bigger or more prominent occasions. Preciate the content!
If you wanted to scratch the itch not to buy Althair even more, try Lattafas brand-new Art Of Arabia II which is a better interpretation of the OG and such a banger
I’d like to see a clone of Paco Rabanne Phantom Parfum since that was I’d say the only good fragrance in the phantom lineup aside from the intense version which I haven’t smelled
its kinda logical hard to squeeze amazing quality+ performance into a 25$ bottle unless they compromise and you give you the ugliest bottle ever *wink wink armaf*
Just my opinion but Armaf Craze has horrible , sharp , cheap opening . It gets better in the dry down , but the opening smells like it is a $10 rack store fragrance .
That us interesting. I would not know that smell but i will have to ask some others if it does. Never seen that comparison before but im sure you are not alone in thinking that
To me, idk if it’s just my bottle, Maahir Legacy smells so fricking cheap! I don’t like it at all. But it made me realize that I probably won’t be buying more clones. Quality over quantity.
An even better Althair clone is from Indie House Scentual Obsessions and is called Eagle Star . When you try this , there is no need to spend the big bucks for the PDM .
A better Sedley clone is Fragrance World Posh Sirius . I agree on your Maahir Legacy take . Smells cheap , sharp, and synthetic to me . Only problem with Posh Sirius is it is always out of stock . Better blended and also affordable .
@ I love Dumont Fragrances . Best bang for the buck and every fragrance last 8 hours plus . Love their Nitro , Bravanzo . and Celerio line my favorite .
@@kinanisam4345 yeah, a league at the bottom. Rasasi, Afnan, and Ajmal are most definitely higher. Sounds like you didn’t try enough of them. Just compare La Yuqawam to their meh Maison Alhambra clone to see the huge difference in quality. Arabian Oud, Abdul Samad Al Qurashi, and Amouage are the next level up. You’re making it sound like Lattafa is Amouage level.. lol
@@OmarZ77 Once again, you don't know what you're talking about because you're comparing one good Rassasi to one not-so-good Lattafa and making it seem as if you tried every Lattafa and every Rassasi there is, the definition of clueless generalization. Also when did I mention Amoage in my comment which is a niche house that is another categorization. One last thing, you're comparing La yuqawam a $65 scent to Opulence Leather a $20 scent, how is this even fair?!! haha
I will not be spending 60-80+ on these companies and I hope more people will stand with me on this , understand these people charge what you will pay , not what something is worth . This is why you have bottles selling for hundreds of dollars , they know puppets will pay it . I am going to stand my ground and only support the reasonable prices on a bottle to send the message , hey , we love what you do , we will support you , we will stock up and even tell our friends but we will not let you drag us by a collar into higher and higher prices , this is a lot of us STOPPED buying designer , never mind niche , it's a complete SCAM . I have purchased some really really nice stuff in the 30 dollar range , even 40 dollars on some items , I don't plan to keep going higher , I enjoy those bottles and find the price to be fair for what I got .
What are the best clones of all time!?

I love the fact you do not hold back if a fragrance dupe does not hold up to the original. Great video 👍🏽
Oh yes i tell it how it is so people will know if its good or not. Sometimes i find some gems though!
Kismet Magic im wearing now and really like!
@ Because of you I am buying liquid Brun thank you .

Ill definetly do it!
Yes! More clones please, the only fragrances I can afford😂😂
Love your videos, just wish you covered how long they last, been identical to the original is great, but I'm sure how long they last is equally important.
I appreciate you watching but you should listen to the context of the content. These are first impressions so how could i possible cover that?

I hope this video takes off like the first one did. You deserve way more recognition Chad!
I really appreciate that a lot. Thank you!!
For me 90% of the clone perfumes performed and smelled better after Maceration. I hope you go back to these after maceration as well.
Yes i noticed this as well. Very true!
What's maceration?🤔 does this apply for all perfumes or only dupes?
maceration is the process of aging a perfume blend in a container (or bottle) to allow the oils and alcohol to marinate and create a stronger, longer-lasting scent. It's also known as fragrance aging or oxidizing the fragrance.
Can you explain the steps ? is there anyway to speed up maceration ?

While I no doubt would love Sedley, except for the pricing….I really loved wearing Maahir Legacy all summer long.
Such a bright vibrant, Sprite lime frag with great push
Im sure mine will get smoother with time!
Same. I have to buy one more bottle. Better to open in advance. In 2 month I think..

I actually have a couple of their fragrances on my list to review. Thank you for suggesting! Im always open for suggestion 😁
With the way you talked about mahir legacy and sedley, you should have put legend blue in the mix with those two
Well i prefer legend blue to maahir legacy thats for sure
Why nobody makes Creed Virgin Island dupe? 🤷🏻
You should also try velvet oud and night shadow if you like leather fragrances
Okay i wrote them down. Thank you!
You should try royal blend from french avenue. To my nose is almost identical with angel share.
French Avenue seems to be pretty quality so far!
I appreciate the effort you put on reviewing cheaper fragance options, I would only ask you please not to get into the clone side just like every influencer seems to be doing nowdays, it is so obvious how clone houses are "investing" on positive and constant opinions about their fragances that is not even entertaining anymore, actually it's becoming annoying

I will look for your review on Polo 67, thanks bro!
Nice rivew mann you should try the new Afnan Abstrakt the red bottle
Ill add it to the list. Thank you!
I have some, I can't compare with the OG because of the price so this video definitely helps
Im glad it could help!
can we gatekeep liquid brun PLEASE
Haha it is a good one
Appreciate you spelling out the names on screen.
I learned to do that over time. It definitely helps
Love the vid! How come you can smell all the fragrances without your nose getting tired😂
Haha it took a lot of training!
Another banger alert!!!
Also .if i can suggest afnan supremacy collector édition to see how it stacks up against CdnP because they say between aventus absolue and hacivat X
I will definitely try to get my hands on that
@ChadSecrets thank you very much u won my sub
Agree that clone fragrances are getting too expensive. Having said that, can you also try Azzure Aoud.
I will for sure look into that!
Bro. Get an agent. Go act. Those reactions, pauses and movements are for the screen. You've got an unfulfilled talent
Believe it or not i actually work in the film industry. Thank you 😅
Only found your channel today, been binge watching it all! Great content man! Could you try some of the Swiss Arabian scents?

Oh I need that!
I got armaf craze its nice well worth the price i paid like £22 for it
I want to buy armaf precieux but its crazy prices here in the uk, cheapest is £89.99
Yeah its good but so redundant to other Aventus like fragrances
Better to buy OG🤣
The creed absolu clone is £90 😮 but after i used every discount i had, it got to £67 which feels like less of a sting. Definitely not paying £90 for a clone lol
Where you buying at that price wow. Its like $45 usd on discounters
@ i got it from Debenhams in UK. Its currently ranging between £75 - £95 across other uk retailers when i search online. It does smell good though
300$ for the big 200ml PDM Layton, from a authorized retailer, is that a good price?
Actually for 200ml thats a pretty good price i think. But typically 100ml goes for around $200 USD
If you want an actual Angel share clone you should be getting Royal Blend. It’s $30 and EASILY better than any other Angel share clone and is an extrait that last 10-12 hours lol

I can second Royal Blend. Think it was closer to $50, but we'll worth it!
Royal blend isn't worth $50 and you can't find it for $30. Cocktail Intense is the best priced one at $15
Best quality is sharaf blend
Good luck to everyone who entered Chad’s giveaway! Hope yall like what you get 👏🏼

*A pal gave me a small tester of something called "Divin Asylum". It was absolutely gorgeous - but the scent lasted 1 hour* 😐

@@ChadSecrets Cheers, done a bit of googling and it seems its been reformulated etc 😔
Hey buddy, how you been? How’s everything?👍👍
Doing quite well. I hope you are doing good too!!
I got my liquid brun for $43. I think with a little more search, u can find all these perfumes for a little cheaper brother
Keep in mind the prices i say are Canadian dollar
@ChadSecrets I see daaaimn in that case u even got a better deal
Try Lattafa Qaaed and Tafakhar by Ard Al Zaafaran. Super cheap but smells niche
Tafakhar is a Carlisle inspo. Very boozy opening which I loveloveloveeee
I will definetly look into that one
@@ChadSecrets but the disclaimer is that it doesnt last long
@@ChadSecrets Lattafa Hayaati on the other hand has great performance and a smoother Rasasi Hawas. I can still smell it on my hand its been 10 hours
Yes og is og but when you talk 20% quality improvement and price at least 6 times Higher i say its not worth it
Yeah that is true
If you wanted to scratch the itch not to buy Althair even more, try Lattafas brand-new Art Of Arabia II which is a better interpretation of the OG and such a banger
Im good with Althair for now but ill keep that in mind. Thank you!
CDNIM limited edition over Precieux?
Its smokier and precieux is frutier so it depends what you like
@@ChadSecrets I have far too many fruity frags lol so I think I will pick up CDNIM LE instead!
@@RadLaxer42 why no rasasi black dark earthy citrus same Vein as aventus but hacivat leaning 80%
I’d like to see a clone of Paco Rabanne Phantom Parfum since that was I’d say the only good fragrance in the phantom lineup aside from the intense version which I haven’t smelled
Lattafa HAYAATI Al Maleky
Clone fragrances have this weird thing were the more you pay the more you get however you can find gems
That is pretty true
its kinda logical hard to squeeze amazing quality+ performance into a 25$ bottle unless they compromise and you give you the ugliest bottle ever *wink wink armaf*
To notify the real differences/similarities there needs to be a longer drydown.
Yes thats true. But if the opening smells bad i dont want to make it to drydown anyway 😔
@@ChadSecrets Haha! I can respect that. 😂
Great stuff Chad!!! 💯
The regular Kismet is a smooth Tuxedo clone with toned down rose. It's beautiful! IMO
I need to try that
@@ChadSecrets Rifaaqat Adorn extremly close
How performance kismet magic
Not sure yet. I assume pretty good
For me Althair is Pegasus that remove jasmine and add orange blossom. Its ok but not wow. Kismet magic is amazing and cheap.
Thats an interesting way to look at it. Now i need to put them side by side 😅
Bro, put the notes on all the fragrances.
Just check them out on fragrantica if i didnt do it. I cant do it now 😅
La Yukawem = irresistible

Im pretty impressed by Maison Alhambra so i definetly will!
Imo...you never get the *true* smell of clone without it sitting at least 2-4wks after spray.
Very true, and also unfortunate
@ChadSecrets odd enough....I love it. I get that blind buy-struck gold vibe
Just my opinion but Armaf Craze has horrible , sharp , cheap opening . It gets better in the dry down , but the opening smells like it is a $10 rack store fragrance .
I can agree with this
@ one of the few times worse fragrance for a day or two and threw in trash . Cannot believe so many people hype it up , but to each his own
@@hillardschlachman6610 as all armaf😂
@ majority for sure . Dry down much better but opening made me nauseous

Im currently wearing it. I really like it!
Great video, just in time
Not buying Brun and Spectre Ghost
maybe precieux. How is the projection?
Pretty good! I wore it the other day and longevity seems very nice. Pretty expensive for what it is right now though
$70 can get you Boss Bottled Elixer 100ml 🤣🤣.Heck $55 can get you Boss Bottled Absolu 1.7 oz from discounters. Clone prices aren’t making sense.
Haha true but yeah they are canadian prices not usd that i listed
bro try to grow some beard for 6 months and line it. I feel like it would elevate your drip bro!!!!shish!!!

La Yuqawam smells more like c0caine than Tuscan leather or any other fragrance said to smell like coke does, took me right back.
