    How can the dupe brands like Oakcha and Dossier make similar scents that perform better and are clean? Why don’t the OGs do that! I’m befuddled…

    • @melrose795
      @melrose795 Рік тому +14

      I think the term "clean" is mis-leading..Some may not use pthalates anymore, which are problematic, but fragrance companies are not required to disclose what is actually in the fragrance, which are aroma chemicals, unless otherwise indicated that natural essential oils are used..parabens are another problematic ingredient.. A real 'clean' would be no chemicals at all...That's my understanding

    • @aryanaaaaa_
      @aryanaaaaa_ Рік тому +14

      because the OG’s want you to be forced to over spray not just once but multiple times a day so you have to go out and buy another bottle. as far as the clean part, i’m sure it costs less to make non clean perfumes thus boosting their profit margin

    Yes. I have a few from Oakcha. Some are amazing and some really miss the mark for me… unfortunately I cannot get behind Gold Gem. I have it and have tried it so many times but it doesn’t smell like Bal D’Afrique I still prefer Al Rayhan from Attar Collection as my Bal D’Afrique dupe.
    My faves from Oakcha are:
    Melting Embers
    Desert Glass
    Sorcery
    Secret Duchess
    Ludic
    Moira
    I haven’t tried them all because for a few I’m happy with the Oil Perfumery version. I find Lira, Rose 31, Intoxicated, Angel’s Share, Tobacco Vanille, Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Oud Satin Mood all preform great as oils so I didn’t try the sprays from Oakcha. ❤

    • @TheScented
      @TheScented  Рік тому +2

      That's so interesting! I wonder if it's just a skin chemistry thing or perhaps a bad batch? For me Gold Gem smells virtually identical throughout the whole wearing but I've tried Al Rayhan and it goes very sharp on the dry down for me :(

    Does the Oakcha version of WS&SS capture all of the ambrette? I have a dupe of WS&SS from Dua, and the Dua version just doesn't have all the musky ambrette in it that the OG does. The Dua dupe smells more herbal and citrusy. It is not the same at all. I'm looking for a long-lasting dupe that captures the ambrette muskiness exactly like the OG.

I would say I have a good nose, I already have a dupe from DIvain that I would say is over 95 % the same and that I am so happy with but I thought Oakcha would be even better.
