This is how you stay in the loop. I started off watching/listening to 3 or 4 hours of videos DAILY during 2020. (I listen with earbuds while at work). I got up to speed QUICK on who’s who and what’s what. So now that I follow several heavy hitters I KNOW WHOS NOSE I TRUST. I know what fragrances I’m interested in, where to buy, how to sample. I’m in the information loop.
Based on your review of Cocktail Intenso I ordered it and just got it in the mail yesterday and man oh man I absolutely love it! I've never been a buy a second bottle kind of guy but at this price I'm gonna for sure!! It's crazy how expensive it smells!
I let Salvo Intense by Maison Alhambra sit for 2 months after I bought it because I knew it was the best and closest clone of Sauvage EDP. I gotta say, it smells 100% spot on and lasts even longer! All for a fraction of the price…
Which is ironic since it itself (2020) seems to be similar to Parfums de Marly Oajan (2013) which seems to be similar to Hermes Ambre Narguile (2004). It’s like Inception up in here... 😂
Just got Jean Lowe immortal and I didn’t like it at first but it really grew on me and the dry down is amazing imo. Definitely gonna let it sit for a month or two.
I bought the Instant gold crush during a recent haul and I'm very satisfied with it. Because of the sweetness in it I've worn during the warm end of summer.
@boredjellyfish5131 When I bought mines, I went with Labelle Perfumes a frag discounter site. It's out of FL and I liked the prices plus shipping time.
@davidevans2804 see my previous response. If they are out of stock (currently out) you can get an email when restocked. I've ordered twice from Labelle and had great results. Last 2 bottles I ordered where a Clive & Bond clone, both are fantastic smells
Man that milestone company is everywhere now. 2 months ago I never even heard of the house and then last month I bought a couple of Tom Ford clones, Tuscany Leather and Ambre Leather and they are phenomenal. And now in just the last 2 weeks I've seen multiple videos showcasing other clones by them that sound really intriguing. We might have a new big-time player in the cologne clone game 🤘🏼
That Crafted Oud is amazing... Great quality. Bought a back up bottle after wearing it one time. There is a great Creed Royal Oud clone by Ministry of Oud called Oud Royal (LOL). Fantastic clone and another that I bought a back up bottle of.
I bought Jean Lowe Immortal on your recommendation and you were right about how gorgeous it is. A little easy to goes noseblind to this one--but it's still there.
Same, I bought immortal and upon first spray I thought it was flat and nothing special. Sprayed it again a few hours later and it completely transformed into an amazing purchase.
always appreciate clone reviews from someone I trust. To limit how much I spend on frags, having about 300 niche and designers, lately I limit myself to clones.
I bought blue de chance and it smelt like lemon cleaner the whole time with a slight hint of incense or something I didn’t like it even tho I don’t mind bdc the lemon doesn’t really go away however I didn’t let the bottle sit but I dunno about it
I did the same thing! I guess I should’ve double checked my cart. Mine came in today and I was so confused on the smell. What do you think of it now? It’s not horrible or anything I just don’t know what occasion I would wear this lol.
I just got mine and I think it smells like a really strong / bad incent. I would never wear it. Washed it off me shortly after I sprayed it. Purchased it thinking it was immortal.. :(
@rcgunn1 definitely. We are definitely helping Ashtons algorithm. I enjoy people explaining the fragrance in detail. If a watch a video normally will often skip through and miss important parts
I had a similar cologne where you first try it and its a bit meh. After a week or 2 I came back to it and it was significantly better. I don't know if trying it a second time changed things for me or that it aged in the bottle. Give things a second chance and they might surprise you.
Folks! I went to arguably the biggest and best Niche store in Canada. The 20+ year expert perfumer said Estee Lauder replaced natural notes with synthetics in Initio, Tom Ford, PDM, Jo Malone, Le Labo. and the frags are much weaker with more alcohol. Ambroxan is amped up like crazy. If you smell right after 1st spray and it smells like gasoline that is ambroxan. I have over 10 bottles of these former companies. Why didnt the bottles say Reformulated or have Estee Lauder name ???
I believe it. I bought a new batch of Layton after running out of my 2 year old sample, and it just isn't the same. And yet, they're still charging the same price. My 2019 sedley had a pressurized atomizer, so apparently they've gotten rid of that as well. It's lame af for $250
Ello , if you can name best clones for Tom Ford F* Fabulous and Lost Cherry will it be Maison Alhambra or something else ? Thanks for your time and answer :)
How close is theoreme to Jean Lowe Immortal? I know one is supposed to be Tygar and the other L'immensite, but I heard they both just smell like Turathi Blue.
There are plenty of these colognes in Walmart as well, just have to purchase online. I also found that depending on your location the actual cost of the perfume/cologne can change which I found weird since usually they just increase shipping. 🤙🏼
i have théoréme homme and it really is a nice scent but only in the air, if i sniff closer on my skin or at the atomiser itself it has this weird funky cardboard smell i cant stand out. Does someone else have similar experience ?
A much closer affordable fragrance is Montage Intense by Lattafa Grandeur Elite . This is a true hidden gem clone of Angel's Share, and at $40 , is a steal imo. !
Does anyone know a clone of Blvgari Blv Pour Homme? That was my signature scent since way back, unfortunately it was discontinued. Haven't got anything like it ever since.
in europe (at least in germany, austria and croatia you can find the bvlgari in a normal drugstore it sells for 46,50€ / 30ml. the parfum stores have it for 100€ / 100ml
Why your nouveau notes are different from fragrantica and other sites? I want to buy nouveau but now I'm confused. I like the notes that you said in your video but fragrantica notes don't
Finally some clones I haven’t heard of…. Haven’t watched the video yet but I just hope they’re not all cloning the same fragrances as all the other clones
I know that Lattafa is the parent company, but what's the official website/online store of Maison Alhambra? There are no Maison Alhambra frags on Lattafa's website.

Lattafa - Sheikh Al Shuyuk - Final Edition, is an amazing Y clone. More like EDP. Not sure why Fakhar Black gets all the hype?
I’m ashamed at the speed at which I watch these videos when they come out. The YT algorithm working double time for you

me too always 2x😂
@@persephonesdad5792 which youtubers you trust for clones??
The fuzz stuck to the cheap sticker on the Intro clone is just the chef's kiss to that close up slow roll 👌
I got the Red Tobacco Vanilla this morning at TJ Maxx. The opening could melt the paint off the walls, but it gets quite nice after about two hours.
Based on your review of Cocktail Intenso I ordered it and just got it in the mail yesterday and man oh man I absolutely love it! I've never been a buy a second bottle kind of guy but at this price I'm gonna for sure!! It's crazy how expensive it smells!

Be careful on the trigger. It’s easy to choke yourself out with Salvo Intense.
It’s not 100% though, it’s adds some funky note to it that changes it for the worse . It’s a shame
Then someone comes over and sees the goofy clone bottle 😂😂😂
@@Chris6815Noome will be chocke by that perfume relax buddy, I just can't comprehend how people say to anything that is too powerfull
Angel Share turning into the next Aventus in the clone world 🤣🤣🤣

I think BR540 is the next Aventus
For real
😂😂😂😅🎯 I agree...!!!
Next? BR540 and Aventus clones are probably close right now as far as variants.

Tell me where to find em? I found the monarch red tobacco at tj max unboxed but where can I consistently buy em?
TJ Maxx offers them, try the oud wood clone- more like a twist though, i swear i tasted cinnamon, my signature scent last winter, got 3 bottles now
That Crafted Oud is amazing... Great quality. Bought a back up bottle after wearing it one time. There is a great Creed Royal Oud clone by Ministry of Oud called Oud Royal (LOL). Fantastic clone and another that I bought a back up bottle of.
In terms of the two, which would you say would be worth buying? Crafted Oud or Oud Royal.
I've got Apex and Aftermath on order right now. Thanks for the heads up Ash!
I bought Jean Lowe Immortal on your recommendation and you were right about how gorgeous it is. A little easy to goes noseblind to this one--but it's still there.
I absolutely agree. Wore it after owning it for about a week and I could still smell it on my skin after a full work day plus a gym session.
Same. When I first tried it it was kind of boring to me, but then I really let it sit and I love it.
Same, I bought immortal and upon first spray I thought it was flat and nothing special. Sprayed it again a few hours later and it completely transformed into an amazing purchase.
What would you rate it & the closeness of the L & V?
@ericwatts8599 Where did you purchase yours. I looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.

Facts brother
What is your favorite clone or clone that is closest to the original
@Gents Scents Could you do a video of clone fragrances for the upcoming Fall/Winter season?
Great video Ash. I appreciate it cuz believe me I’m like Deion Sanders I take notes
Theorem is absolutely hidden gem, i have got many compliments on this and its so easy to wear, clean and refreshing.
Ash, what are you going to do when they start cloning your stuff? Terra Novel, Black Enigmom, Blue Rim
They are only cloning the famous and successful ones, so will it be that bad? 😂😉
Would you do a Jean Lowe immortal vs nouveau video? In fact, love comparison videos of the original and all the dupes of it. 🙏
Nice video ash. Can you do chanel allure sport homme clone next?
This is gold, thanks for this content 👍🏻
Love the content. There is at least 3 I'm for sure going to pick up.
hey can you do a cologne for each season but under $100, i'm seeing all these clones i feel it's more doable
Monarch is Milestone and their clones are killing it. Many are showing up at rack stores
I love clones!!!!!!!!!!!! More videos !!!
i'm glad that your new studio looks more clear and closer, it was kinda dark before. Now we can appreciate more your content thanks!

@ash have you tried fragrance world "vanilla so sweet" the spiritus double vannile dupe
Jean lowe immortal, Amber and Leather, Jack of clubs, Rasasi Fatan
Finally someone reviewed Jean Lowe Nouveau. I purchased it on accident trying to buy Immortal and really didn’t know what to think of it.

I found monarch's "red tobacco vanilla" in a tj maxx 😭😭it smelt like vanilla with a slight smokiness to it
Great vid Ash x
Nice vid bro!
Excellent clones. Thanks for heads up
You need to get your hands on some Rosa Salas clones from the UK, awesome stuff,that no one knows about
sensual obsession's version of side effect is also called aftermath..
F- YEAH!! 😂😂😂😂Love it Ash!
I have the red tobacco one your over paying online there only 14.99 at tj maxx. I just got the together with you always yesterday
Talking about Fakhar.. have you also tried Lattafa's Sheikh Shuyukh Final Edition? Another clone of Y EDP..but with a twist. Amazing bang for buck.
Does Ashton have a full Jean Lowe video?
Love these videos 📹 cycling home in the sunshine 🌞 making a mental note of these fragrances. So useful 👌
I thought I was the only one who watched these videos while cycling. Maybe we’re onto something. 🚴♀️
@rcgunn1 definitely. We are definitely helping Ashtons algorithm. I enjoy people explaining the fragrance in detail. If a watch a video normally will often skip through and miss important parts

Great video Ash.
