@Gents Scents / Ash: We all love your clone frag videos and your honest feedback about them, but could you add following in the future: 1) What are the weak points/ the disadvantages of the clone? For example: Not long lasting, not dense like the original, weak sillage etc. 2) Can you rate it from 1-10 in comparison to the original 3) How often/ how long you have been tested/ compared them
Hi Ash (big fan here). Have you come across a clone of Fahrenheit that tries to closely imitate the original formula from the 1990s??? There are numerous clones out there, but which ones get closest to the original? (Actually, this would make an interesting episode)
I have enigma une and asad and im spraying them side by side and I really can't tell what people are saying. To me these two particular bottles almost smell identical. It's really hard to tell them apart. I don't really need both so I guess I will see which one lasts the longest and pick that one. Maybe your Enigma is more of an aged bottle and stands out more.. or maybe Asad didn't age enough, I have no idea. Maybe there simply is inconsistencies with clones between batches and/or bottles.
@@FarhanAli-rs7wx They last about the same. Maybe Asad a little longer. After wearing the decants, I would say Enigma une is the better blended fragrance. It smells higher quality, but they are both very similar. I am going to sell my new bottle of enigma cause these scents are too similar to own both.. I chose to sell enigma simply because it's a new bottle I haven't used and the ASAD i been using it.. otherwise i might have kept the enigma
@georgej9875 Hello, for its price, there is no need to pay full on Armani - 90+ % similarity easily with respectful longevity, but as i said don't judge after first sniffs, just give it few weeks to develop )
Do you guys think that there is some bias in these videos? Like a financial incentive? I have the utmost respect for Ash. I wonder though if Influencers have more and more pressure as their lifestyles increase to promote products that pay more or pay more often. DannyFragrance
@dannytetreault people click on videos about clones and cheap designers more than anything else so yes to a point you're correct. However there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of people who do videos on them
@@dannytetreault I think it’s something else. We need to remember that even designer fragrances at retail price are very expensive and considered a luxury item to most people. When you’re able to present a decent alternative that costs a fraction of the price, it’s an opportunity to cater to people that wouldn’t otherwise spend their time watching something they cannot afford. Also, there’s a limit of new fragrances that are released every year. Videos about clones make it possible to release new content even when no new fragrances (not clones) have been released.
got proud of you absolute and can safely say it's very close to the original. The first few minutes after spraying can be alcohol heavy but after leaving it on my clothes for a few hours, it smells heavenly
I bought the original ones only to wear them on special occasions (stingy yeah), but when i feel like wearing them casually, that's when those cheapies clones come in
👍 Renheit Parfum. I've had it for about 2 months now, and yeah, it's better. Now my fav from FW. Even layer it with Alhambra's Fortnight and I actually like it more than the original Dior. 😆 Who knew.
@@deputydan2226 Ooooo tough. I would say no. The atomizers are different though. You need at least 2 sprays to equal 1 from a Dior atomizer. I haven't tested it properly, sorry.
@justaddlight no worrys. I ask because I have pre 2014 bottles or the og le parfum and they're almost empty. So ill need replacements soon. I don't trust most of these wholesalers when it comes to the juice inside because they send open boxes
Hi Ash. Do you get any "Kickbacks" for giving feedback on certain clones? I've heard you do and I'm devastated if that's true because of how many videos of yours I've liked.
Can't agree with the Renheit Parfum. I recently got it (different, new bottle design, though) and the gasoline smell is there and VERY prominent. I had Fahrenheit EDT about 10 years ago and was immediately thrown back, as Renheit is so faithful to the original.
I certainly mean no offense to this guy and his videos as I do enjoy watching many of them he seems to follow the same olfactural paths of my own preferences. However, due to UA-cam channels such as this, but more importantly (and more disgustingly), the tick tock videos regarding all these wonderful juices that we all love (or hate), the EXCESSIVE amount of mindless promotion has led to a MASSIVE increase in the cost of these products. - Don't believe me? do the research! There are several tools that can be added to your webbrowser that will help you to research the cost comparisons/over time on products such as clone fragrances (or many other things). Though I enjoy the videos, you can't forget the fact that these hype monsters are making a big pocket fill-up on over-promoting and overhyping products that were SUPPOSED to keep YOUR pockets full. No hate to the man, or anyone else making these types of videos, But..... I guess the joke is actually on ourselves.
maybe a compilation on clones where the quality is way beyond the price. ie, not concentrating on the clone-like quality but its fragrance quality (ingredients)
We need to come together and report him to the Securities and Exchange commission. He is creating a review monopoly! He’s leaving every other reviewer in the dust mercilessly! You can’t be hitting home runs every time! You have to give other reviewers a fighting chance. He’s not even giving them a whiff (pun intended). Another bomb review. I done spent two hundred dollars this week and I’m not complaining about it at all. The clone wars are heating up in our favor. I bought all five of the fragrance world joints he reviewed a couple days ago and it looks like I’m not done impulse shopping. Great!
I honestly think it's the bottles getting rattled about and temperature variations in transit, my OG DHP was soo much better after sitting for a couple of weeks. So yeah the maceration/maturation thing is codswallop but letting em Settle for a week or 2 (or longer for some up to a month) is defo a thing!
How’d you make a vid like this so entertaining?!! Like it! I’m getting into trying dupe fragrances (ones I’ve tried haven’t been great) these ones hold promise though! I LOVE Fahrenheit, it’s my all time fave so MAY try that Renheit one day…the name 😂😂😂🤦♂️
I gave away my bottle of Asad last night. Based on this review I'm going to replace it with Enigma Une. Great shirt by the way. One of my all-time favorite movies. The actors who played the surviving characters are still with us AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T DONE A SEQUEL. 🤦♂️ The movie is 40 years old!
Rewatching this. Still on the fence for Enigma Une. I'm balking at the price. Same with Cherry Cola. Got Proud Of You Absolute. Still looking at getting Ivanhoe. Sold out.
For the most part, I’m veering away from clones but I’m still glad they exist. When I first started getting into fragrances, I went super heavy on the clones and cheapies and now they’re mostly just collecting dust and taking up space.
@@joseg8498same, I had about 10 designers, 15 cheapie clones then I bought a niche fragrance collection from an estate sale, now the only time I wear any clones is if I run out of the og, and even then I usually just reach for something else
@@SinghJ254 Quality over quantity. I already have more fragrances than I’ll every use in a lifetime. I’ve been buying a lot less frequently and saving up for the real deal if I think it’s worth it. I say if it’s worth it because there’s some fragrances out there like modern Aventus that simply do not justify the cost due to how they perform. Lots of clones do get quite close to the original but I’m at the point where I try and appreciate what the original fragrance was going for on an artistic level.
I'm not against clone scents, I think some of these houses are amazing in their own right when they create these similarities. Also providing a close scent at a fraction of the price. However, all those pros move to cons once they decide to copy the exterior bottle style, name and box design. People who vehemently argue that the designer houses over charge so it's deserved, are ignorant to say the least. First of all, if YOU owned a certain design and other people jump on to use it for their own gain, would you be ok with that? I highly doubt it. If your specific creation was making you a ton of money, you wouldn't want some sham look alike stealing your thunder. This is the same aspect, I don't care when a clone brand creates a similar or even EXACT clone of the scent. It's when they start going full in making the same bottle design and style is when I draw the line. It's shameful and disgusting to steal another brand intellectual property.
@gents scents : Have you come across a clone of Armani Code Sport? I loved that stuff years ago but since it got discontinued have never been able to find a decent clone :(
The Enigma squeakiness is real! The bottle looks awesome until you touch it. Then you feel like bubble wrap is still on it somewhere. It’s no big deal but it does cheapen the experience substantially. I have 1, 2 and 3. 1, the one he shows, is the worst, 2 not as bad, 3 has no squeak on mine.
What next scent would you suggest for me? I have ADG georgio, le beau JPG, V Oud noir, V Eros, Y yves, D&B light blue and La nuit Yves. I want something a little different from what I have but also something I’d like based on those. Thanks
Clones - Keeping my addiction affordable since 2023!

As always thanks Ash, I love, love, love ASAD. Have 3 bottles, I will be getting ENIGMA UNE ASAP. One of my top 10 frags.
Ok, did a blind buy on Enigma and bought 2 bottles, it's so spot on to Sauvage Elixir. Sorry Asad, my new fav is Enigma.
@@Leadloose how long does it last? I wanna get it but if its not long-lasting I don't wanna get it.
@hiezenberg off my skin I get about 3 to 4 hours before having to re-apply. ASAD does have better performance but is not as close to the DNA.
Hi Ash (big fan here). Have you come across a clone of Fahrenheit that tries to closely imitate the original formula from the 1990s???
There are numerous clones out there, but which ones get closest to the original? (Actually, this would make an interesting episode)
It's a clone channel now.
I'm not complaining. I love me some clone reviews.
I stopped using tester strips, the only way to do it is on skin. This is also a flex to let the amateurs know you're a real frag head.
Enigma Une is the best Sauvage Elixr Dupe out there. I own four and that’s the most closest. The atomiser is bad though.
I have enigma une and asad and im spraying them side by side and I really can't tell what people are saying. To me these two particular bottles almost smell identical.

Maybe your Enigma is more of an aged bottle and stands out more.. or maybe Asad didn't age enough, I have no idea. Maybe there simply is inconsistencies with clones between batches and/or bottles.
Which one lasts longer? And which is more appealing to teens?

Proud of you absolute should macerate few weeks and it will smell almost like Armani, i guess same story with other clones!

Might cop the cherry cola as a car freshener
Def have to try the sausage Elixir one
Yes, SAUSAGE makers should definitely come up with an Elixir version of their products :D
Good video sotd Layton Street bond no.9
Cherry Cola from Emir reminds me some of Creation-E from Roja
6:58 Puffy atomiser p diddy atomiser 🤣🤣
Sick shirt Ash.
As always
Do you know of a clone for canali men
Hmmm another haul for me too
Man, stop pretending these clones are 20 dollars. 20 years ago, maybe. Now they are 50-70 dollars.
Should I get asad?
It's obnoxious bro...avoid!
How do u do this for a living and cannot spell cologne properly?
First prize gets 500 bones.
Second prize is a set of steak knives.
Third prize is you're fired.

Lord these bottle clones are getting ridiculous, clearly Middle Eastern clone houses want *all* the lawsuits😅
You are funny
Not the richest vocabulary for someone who tries to describe fragrance. Ok then.
ابشع عطر بالعالم هو سوفاج 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ok Ash, stop pretending you LOVE clones based on all the clone vids you’ve been posting, we all know you only wear Aventooos 🍍
It's now the clone channel 😀

First comment today Ashton...... Trinidad Fan in the house gr8 stuff as usual brother hook me up bro.
Do you like John Carpenter's Escape from New York?
Based on the name, could Diplomat be Gisada Ambassador Intense?
So sick of shower gelly blue Fragrances
Why do yall ask Ash questions ? He never responds.
I bought the original ones only to wear them on special occasions (stingy yeah), but when i feel like wearing them casually, that's when those cheapies clones come in
Idea for next video - ""12 Niche clones / cheap perfume that got you covered all year round."" (long lasting with good projection)
Hey Ash, could you maybe make a full video of The Enigma une and maybe Talk about the performance and longevity?
I can confirm FW fragrances do get better a week or two latter after first spray
Nah the way I be waiting for 10 o clock est for ash to drop a new video is crazy
another clone video hope youre happy for the wait LOL
So, is this exclusively a clones & cheapies channel now?
👍 Renheit Parfum. I've had it for about 2 months now, and yeah, it's better. Now my fav from FW. Even layer it with Alhambra's Fortnight and I actually like it more than the original Dior. 😆 Who knew.

In the minority, but I despise Fahrenheit EDP, the violet is gone and they added a vanilla? Totally a different fragrance IMHO….🤷🏻♀️
Nice shirt!
Lol without looking i can already assume that because you said the magic word "sauvage".. that clone is sold out.
Renheid edp was my blind buy. Not too bad I would give it 6.5/10
they could've it called celsius or something at least but what the fuck is renheit
They dropped the f and the a. I guess they wanted to leave no doubt what fragrance they were cloning..as if the bottle didn't give it away

Finally, an opinion on Renheit. Probably should have waited another week to grab FWs.
