Flanker opportunities abound. "Grilled Human" adds a touch of smoke, "Marinated Human" adds some salty notes, "Human au Poivre" adds spicy black pepper...
I love Lataffa and Armaf scents after watching several of the videos you have done. The smells are amazing as well as the prices. Thanks for all the great vids.
Lattafa and Maison Alhambra makes me question the price to make every single designer perfume . And makes me appreciate how for $30 bucks you can have amazing presentation and amazing scent with performance. Everyone else in the fragrance world step your game up!!
I know!! Some people hate on both the packaging and the juice but I love the bottles. If they were lightweight, plastic I would understand but the boxes, bottle designs are beautiful and interesting. The perfumes in my opinion are made of excellent quality and are well balanced and blended. Many times out performs the OG the only thing is that many times you must aerate the fragrance then allow time to do it’s magic and the fragrance is then amazing. Honestly, I enjoy the maceration process. I think a lot of people who collect as a hobby enjoy the journey the perfume takes. I have just started journaling about them, I wish that I had started journaling sooner. The only thing that I don’t like about the ME brands is some times the same house will release the same juice in different bottles. Although, I enjoy seeing how different houses clone the same OG fragrances. I like trying to distinguish who duped it best or who improved upon it. Sorry for the long response but your comment is so true and I appreciate it and agree.
I find it hypocritical how anything released by a company like Lattafa will forever be labeled as a clone with a somewhat negative connotation. Same thing with the new premium Armaf releases. Yet no one would call Haltane a clone of Initio OFG, or YSL MYSLF as a clone of....whatever- meh? or Givenchy Reserve Prive / Valentino Uomo Intense as clones of DHI with a twist. And the list could go on and on with the copy pasted designers everyone praises as "fragrances of the year". Just because something is in a certain scent family doesn't mean they are automaticly clones. At the end of the day its near impossible to come up with something today that doesn't remind you of something else. Im not saying they AIN'T clones couse frankly i never smelled any of these and yea i know that Lattafa in the early stages was a blatant clone house, but companies can move on and grow you know? I don't have a horse in this race and i couldn't care less about ANY company but i hate hypocrisy and snobism where price tag and branding dictates how we perceive something. If a fragrance is affordable then "meh its a mediocre clone" but if it says JPG or PdM on the bottle then its the best thing since sliced bread (and thats coming from someone who's favourite scent ever is actually a PdM).
You have a point, but designer and niche companies get called out all the time. PDM is often labeled as a niche company offering overpriced designer scents. Roja is notorious for having fragrances extremely similar of stuff from Guerlain. The designer market is overrun with fragrances that share a similar scent profile. Clone brands aren’t the only ones with the finger pointed at them.
Lattafa emeer the first one kind of reminds me of the tiziana terenzi gold bottles and boxes! Not sure if it’s cloning something from that line up but looks like it to me
Dua Poseidons Absolu is the best clone I have. It’s a clone of the new Aventus Absolu and it’s better in my opinion because it’s an Elixer. And I have tons of clones, don’t know why Ash doesn’t review Alexandria and Dua, they have the best clones.
So knowing most lattafa frags benefit from maceration/maturation, and, scents usually smell better / different off skin, I feel full days wear is in order, so Mr Gent Scents, you have work to do, it's a smelly job but someone has to do it.
Ooohh, sweet. A Gargoyles reference! I bet nobody here knows about that!! A collaborative project with Jonathan Frankes and Marina Sirtis! And, oh boy, if you don't know who those two are.....😂
Vintage Radio reminds me of vintage cleaning products. Harsh opening and the dry down smells like burt cardboard. Stings the nostrils a bit. Had to sell the bottle but only got $3 for it. Very disappointed
@@franknitti100Real tales by moonlight. Imagine paying almost $35 for a fragrance and selling the bottle for $3. If you're gonna lie, be more convincing.
I had a chance to smell both of them. They both have an extremely musty smell that reminds of a nursing home. So if you like how old people smell you'll love it ❤️
@@Snk13_ty I kind of had the same feeling about the real Initio Paragon and Bleu Electrique, got some samples in and was especially unimpressed with Bleu Electrique imo an inferior version of LNDL.
Love your content allround! Quick question. Asad after about an hour smells to me almost the same as Oud for Glory. Am I crazy?? Keep going! Greetings from Netherland
@@yobozobozo4468, well..the Asad I received a sample of that I tested today. The opening was indeed very different. The Oud for Glory I also own...for about a half year now. Once the Asad reached the complete dry down I couldn't help but notice that I knew that smell. And yeah like I did... It is however absolutely possible that sample must sit for a few more days, maybe it changes. Wouldn't be the first time. Thank you for your reply. Greetings from Netherland
Any videos coming up for defy parfum ? I’ve already ordered it from Macys so I guess a review won’t be necessary but would still like to hear your thoughts
Love your videos and really respect your "Nose". I have made a lot of blind buys based on your reviews. I have to ask ... do you have a stand up comedy background? if not have you ever considered it? but stay focused on the videos, they are very entertaining and informative. Happy New Year
I was kinda hoping 'Raw Human' was gonna be an ELdO Secretions Magnifiques dupe. I'd be interested in you doing a Masa vs Celestial vs Ganymede comparison, Ash.
As a massive fan of mint, Spearmint especially. I'm always searching for anything with mint notes. They are hard to find for me. Recommendations are very welcomed.
Platinum blend by Maison Alhambra here are the notes Top Notes: Sour Lemon, Grapefruit, Lavender, Mandarin Heart Notes: Tonka Bean, Pepper, Cardamom, Cedar, Praline, Cinnamon Base Notes: Tobacco, Spruce, Whiting, Labdanum, Musk, Amber, Peppermint It smells like a peppermint pine tree.
Some of the decant sites have Ganymede. I got mine at Scent Split. It's still available there. I really like the scent profile, it's unusual and oddly pleasant. Has versatile characteristics, is both casually aquatic and has a formal leather. I don't like how milky the osmanthus comes off, though. That is not something I want to smell or want people to smell off me. The osmanthus in Celestial does not come off milky at all. The mineral note is also less like a heavy metal, more ozonic. Both elements make the perfume less artistic and interesting, but more wearable. From what I understand, the added mango in Masa punches up the fruitiness. That's something that is lacking in Celestial. The apricot aspect of the osmanthus softens the leather into a suede, and the more prominent mandarin in Ganymede takes all the aggression out of that note. An orange blossom in Masa could also boost this and I'm really looking forward to it. Mine is still in the mail, though.
It’s not blind buy safe imo, but it’s definitely worth getting your nose on at least once. I’m not a huge fan myself, but I respect it on a creative/technical level, it really is something different/unique (well at least it was before Quentin Bisch started putting Akigalawood in everything… 😂).
Wish you would've grabbed one that deserved a skin test. Anyway the packaging means a lot to me. Awesome video as always. Doing a BR 540 clone today. Peace 2024
You need a shipping container in your yard. One of those should probably provide you at least 3 weeks' worth of space at your current rate. That Emeer bottle though!! It looks like a glimpse inside E.T.'s rescue ship!
I really like Ashton and he was one of a couple, who introduced me into Fragrances. I have watched so many videos till today but it comes to an end 😢. While I was watching his video, I wanted to know the name again of #6. so I went to the description and on top, I’ve found only 5 Links and AGAIN!!!!!!!! no Name of the fragrance next to the Link. I know how affiliate links work but what he does is NOT helpful and friendly to everyone watching his videos 😡. Sorry that I am that mad but ENOUGH is ENOUGH !!!!!!! PS if you ever read this comment @Ash: i wish you all the best for your health and for your channel. Thanks for all your videos and help trough the years 😘
Lattafa is a brand I am very impressed with, in my new journey with colognes
Flanker opportunities abound. "Grilled Human" adds a touch of smoke, "Marinated Human" adds some salty notes, "Human au Poivre" adds spicy black pepper...
Puts the lotion in the basket??
Whipped Human adds leather. Mowed Human with vetiver. Arabian Human for the rose/oud combo. And of course, Overpriced Human to smell like Windex.
Absolute culinary genius 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Your comment has to be pinned !
Bruh..I'd buy all of those
I love Lataffa and Armaf scents after watching several of the videos you have done. The smells are amazing as well as the prices. Thanks for all the great vids.
Imagine someone asks you what you’re wearing today at a job interview and you tell them raw human 😂
Fasho gotta make up a new name for it for that scenario 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Just say unprotected
Oh wow light in the Box!! Thats a big step forward in packaging design. Maybe in the next box there will be a music coming out😊 with a light
Finally someone review those, thanks!!

THANK YOU, they try to give bad reputation to the Arabs, And knowing that the Arabs are the creators of perfumes in the world,
Exactly.. thousands upon thousands of fragrances have been invented... there's bound to be some overlap

Roja is notorious for having fragrances extremely similar of stuff from Guerlain. The designer market is overrun with fragrances that share a similar scent profile.

Solid take 👌
You really have too much time on your hands. WOW
The refridgerator box with the little light should have been paired with Raw Human.
I don't know why this made me chuckle.
I need help 😂😂😂
Lattafa emeer the first one kind of reminds me of the tiziana terenzi gold bottles and boxes! Not sure if it’s cloning something from that line up but looks like it to me
I think I'm going to buy Emeer just for the presentation.
Great haul video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to check out these fragrances and have a blessed day
I'm loving the Pride and Vintage series from Lattafa, really positive reviews across youtube on how close they are to the original stuff
Dua Poseidons Absolu is the best clone I have. It’s a clone of the new Aventus Absolu and it’s better in my opinion because it’s an Elixer. And I have tons of clones, don’t know why Ash doesn’t review Alexandria and Dua, they have the best clones.
Lol "because it's an Elixir"? What does that even mean?
@@b3yambur That they bought into the marketing machine.
@@the.Aruarian Most of the Dua/Alexandria shills always seem to fall for it.
@@the.Aruarian apparently, because that word literally means nothing in perfumery.
im guessing he meant extrait..?
Haha got to give them points for the light up box.
So knowing most lattafa frags benefit from maceration/maturation, and, scents usually smell better / different off skin, I feel full days wear is in order, so Mr Gent Scents, you have work to do, it's a smelly job but someone has to do it.
Thank you for this video, I had 4 of these in my shopping cart and you helped me made off my mind.
So what you decide to buy ?
@@Karla_1987 got’em all… lol
Thoughts on them?@@nismoray23pr
Cee chronicles who reviews pretty much every ME fragrance every released says African drummer is a clone of D&G The only one intense (for her)
Nope. Juliete hás a gun parfuns
Ooohh, sweet. A Gargoyles reference! I bet nobody here knows about that!! A collaborative project with Jonathan Frankes and Marina Sirtis! And, oh boy, if you don't know who those two are.....😂
So glad Ash didn't tell everyone that Emeer is a 95% dupe of a Clive Christian $900 fragrance. 😅
is it that close? I have a 5ml decant of T&C and I love it. The asking price, even at discounters, is around 300 bucks and that's a bit steep.
@@spinQubitI’ve smelled the real thing and Emeer and Emeer is spot on
Missed the best one. Vintage Radio is a Initio Parfum Paragon inspired by.
Vintage Radio reminds me of vintage cleaning products. Harsh opening and the dry down smells like burt cardboard. Stings the nostrils a bit. Had to sell the bottle but only got $3 for it. Very disappointed
@Snk13_ty I'm going with you not being into clones to begin with...but hey...that's your right.
@@franknitti100Real tales by moonlight. Imagine paying almost $35 for a fragrance and selling the bottle for $3. If you're gonna lie, be more convincing.
@@Snk13_tyya idk what you’re smelling but that stuff is amazing I have it and girls love it
I have that one but al nashama is better in lasting than vintage radio
I love how the box is a zippo lighter 😊
Would love to hear your thoughts on Nashama and Nashama Caprice!
According to Neeb one is Initio Paragon and the other is Bleu Electrique.
I had a chance to smell both of them. They both have an extremely musty smell that reminds of a nursing home. So if you like how old people smell you'll love it ❤️
@@Snk13_ty I kind of had the same feeling about the real Initio Paragon and Bleu Electrique, got some samples in and was especially unimpressed with Bleu Electrique imo an inferior version of LNDL.
I'm still looking for Clones of Voltaire&Zadig This is him and Marc Jacobs Daisy... but I really enjoy the Lattafa Colognes. Got 4 already
This channel pumping out bangers on the daily effecting my bank balance
Happy new year to you and your family 👍👍👍
What do you do with the ones that you end up not liking?
keeping on the collection
Apparently Art Of Arabia 3 is a One Luminous Night clone.
Ganymede without the metallic note? WOW 15:50 for recap
Ash let's see a comparison between Masa and Paris Corner Celestial to see which is the better Ganymede clone👍👍👍
Masa is much better and much better performance the mango is quite prominent without the metallic bite that people don't like about Ganymede
Vintage Radio is 🔥
Is that a cologne if so how does it smell
@@righteousmasculineparagon dupe
Ash, how many Lattafa and its sister brand fragrances do you own?! Can we get a top 50 one day, could be a great series
Who makes the best Rosendo Mateo #5 clone or is it better to get the original
Al areeq gold by lattafa
Love your content allround! Quick question. Asad after about an hour smells to me almost the same as Oud for Glory. Am I crazy??
Keep going!

Been watching since 30k subs and I started collecting a year ago. Lattafa got some bangers for sure 😛. Happy new year sir 🍾🙏🙌
Lattafa - Masa is more closer to B683 than Ganymede.
Tell us more. What is the performance?
No it's much closer to Ganymede with the mango not close to B683 to my nose
The boxes like the one for vintage radio are supposed to mimic an old Zippo
Any videos coming up for defy parfum ?
I’ve already ordered it from Macys so I guess a review won’t be necessary but would still like to hear your thoughts
ash,you should try f edp by fragrance world(the transparent bottle with bluish blue)its a clone of ysl y edp
How's the projection and performance on it
Love your videos and really respect your "Nose". I have made a lot of blind buys based on your reviews. I have to ask ... do you have a stand up comedy background? if not have you ever considered it? but stay focused on the videos, they are very entertaining and informative. Happy New Year
Makes me think you've never watched actual stand-up before
Has Lattafa made a new line of the Tom Ford dupes?
Because that's exactly how I wanna start off my year right!!!! With New Lattafa CLONESSSSSSSSS🎉🎉🎉🎉 TY ASH
Great Haul Ash
Спасибо за видео ❤
Lattafa Liam - советую! Красивый аромат инжира, определенно унисекс!!
I was kinda hoping 'Raw Human' was gonna be an ELdO Secretions Magnifiques dupe. I'd be interested in you doing a Masa vs Celestial vs Ganymede comparison, Ash.
i hope nobody clones that🤣
@@wakeinthecity9well they obviously alreayd did….
is Amouroud Oud after Dark like Raw Human?
How close is Emeer to Clive Christian Town & Country?
Could Emeer be a clone of Varvatos Oud perhaps?
For real though, I bought art of Arabia as soon as you mentioned Etat Libre and Torino towards it. I love those houses so nearly completely.
How is it people are saying it’s a LV imagination clone ?
@@Irob_lll idk. Haven’t got around to those, yet. They’re next on my list.
@@thewanderingorphan bet bro mine comes in today!
@@Irob_lll I can say it runs incredibly masculine for my taste. It’s super fresh and niche quality.
@@thewanderingorphandamn ok ok! Is it mature do you think ? I’m 26 I don’t like stuff to mature lol
As a massive fan of mint, Spearmint especially. I'm always searching for anything with mint notes. They are hard to find for me. Recommendations are very welcomed.
You really want to try Geranium pour homme by Frederic Malle then. It's SO minty, its really giving tooth paste
Platinum blend by Maison Alhambra here are the notes Top Notes: Sour Lemon, Grapefruit, Lavender, Mandarin Heart Notes: Tonka Bean, Pepper, Cardamom, Cedar, Praline, Cinnamon
Base Notes: Tobacco, Spruce, Whiting, Labdanum, Musk, Amber, Peppermint
It smells like a peppermint pine tree.
You Or Someone Like You from Etat Libre d'Orange is famous for its photorealistic mint note
Le Male Elixer is very mint dominant for me.
Never smelled anything from that genre better than Torino 21.
Emeer belongs to the dior sauvage elixir family, it could be a flunker of elixir easily, its amazing.. really amazing
It's a Clive and Christian clone......
Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈
It would be interesting to pick up Raw Human.
Or pick up a raw human….
You should do a collection tour
Masa !! Someone about to make tortillas 😂
I predict 2024 to be the year of the amazing clones.🎉🎉
in general 2024 will be wild
With the way you were holding up that raw human bottle, I thought for a second that it was your phone LOL
is there no Spicebomb extreme clones?
Is
Cremo vanilla & spice
We need a huge Mansion to have enough space for all the fragrances in the end
who reigns supreme in the clone house battle? Paris Corner makes some great stuff too.
Happy neeeew yeeear🎉
I just ordered 5 fragrances today but let’s watch
Demona from Gorgoyles? How very 90s of you, Ash.
Wait…you’re NOT overwhelmed already with the amount of fragrances already in your collection is mind blowing to me 🤯
That box actually looked like a giant zippy lighter from the side
I hope to see more soapy and clean fragrance clones
Raw Human sounds just like Najdia Tribute, also by Lattafa.
They have the "I dream of Jeannie" bottle.
The Art of Arabia I is supposed to be inspired by LV Imagination
So LV Imagination is a overhyped boring scent, when itself lasts 3 hours with low projection. Never believe the hype, try some samples first.
We need a top 10 lattafa
Raw human! 2024 saying of the year!
That’s sooooo raw human
MAN….that sunset is raw human
Do you have to be sooo raw human?
where's drakkar noir ?
I don't think so we can call lattafa a clone house tbh.
5:35
Raw Human should have a human flesh finish
The video portion just disappeared 🤷🏻♂️
Masa has me really curious. Blind buying Ganymede seems like a totally foolish idea, but I REALLY wanna smell Ganymede
Some of the decant sites have Ganymede. I got mine at Scent Split. It's still available there.
I really like the scent profile, it's unusual and oddly pleasant. Has versatile characteristics, is both casually aquatic and has a formal leather. I don't like how milky the osmanthus comes off, though. That is not something I want to smell or want people to smell off me. The osmanthus in Celestial does not come off milky at all. The mineral note is also less like a heavy metal, more ozonic. Both elements make the perfume less artistic and interesting, but more wearable.
From what I understand, the added mango in Masa punches up the fruitiness. That's something that is lacking in Celestial. The apricot aspect of the osmanthus softens the leather into a suede, and the more prominent mandarin in Ganymede takes all the aggression out of that note. An orange blossom in Masa could also boost this and I'm really looking forward to it. Mine is still in the mail, though.

Smell emeer lattafa near to Clive Christian Town & Country! ;)
I'd love to see what u think of arron terrence Hughes fragrances mate
Fragrance tour of yours
Art of Arabia I is a LV Imagination clone.
Are u saying that or asking ?
I think thats Naxos behind you 😅
Art of arabia 1: does it smell like Amouage Enclave?
Greta Thunberg would not approve of Lattafa and they their double boxing and packaging methods.
Wish you would've grabbed one that deserved a skin test. Anyway the packaging means a lot to me. Awesome video as always. Doing a BR 540 clone today. Peace 2024
See you tomorrow with another clone review
You need a shipping container in your yard. One of those should probably provide you at least 3 weeks' worth of space at your current rate. That Emeer bottle though!! It looks like a glimpse inside E.T.'s rescue ship!
Hi JFK
I really like Ashton and he was one of a couple, who introduced me into Fragrances. I have watched so many videos till today but it comes to an end 😢.
While I was watching his video, I wanted to know the name again of #6. so I went to the description and on top, I’ve found only 5 Links and AGAIN!!!!!!!! no Name of the fragrance next to the Link. I know how affiliate links work but what he does is NOT helpful and friendly to everyone watching his videos 😡. Sorry that I am that mad but ENOUGH is ENOUGH !!!!!!!
PS if you ever read this comment @Ash: i wish you all the best for your health and for your channel. Thanks for all your videos and help trough the years 😘
Emeer is similar to LVombre nomade plus green 🍵 note,and it's long lasting 10 to 12 hours
The information of this video can be said in 5 minutes, however the video is almost 19 minutes long talking nonesense.
Thanks for saving me money, lol
I know which one Uncle Roger would wear!
Raw human was the worst perfume I ever smelled. Be careful if you want to buy it.
Why big brands like Sauvage and Channel don't do similar things, it would be awesome if they did
Lattafa definitely wins with presentation
Hi
Hahaha you are the Worst perfume opener, but I like it.
Think this channel is gents clones now lol
Raw human- whoever came up with that name needs a raise lol jk
