She's used to smelling scents all the time so just imagine the general population as you walk by will never be able to tell that you're wearing a clone. They will think you smell amazing, rock on :)
Yeah true, when i rock aventus and sometimes supremacy not only intense I got more love on the clone then the original - yes og has more quality more naturel but 55$ Vs 420$ here in algeria Clone all day 😂
Agreed. Who gives af about whether it's a clone or not. However I will say clones overall tend to perform worse than most of the scents they're cloning (not always, and sometimes the exact opposite happens).. so it's more likely that someone just won't smell anything at all when you walk by, rather than smell you and think "what a chump, wearing a fragrance clone" lol

I love these videos!!! Can you do one of these with Herod? I would be interested to see if Chelsea can tell the difference. Love her. ( I am one of your lady viewers...Lol)
This is such an awesome video, and REALLY helped me decide on making purchases of some of these wonderful clones. Thank you for putting this video out! Would love to see more of these!
Wow this is great initiative brother…this way we can clearly see how clones are super close to OG…plz keep making such content….so it means buying clones is really worth it…plz make video on many other clones as well….thank u…love from india…❤❤
A lot of the new clones don't even have that cheap alcohol screachy opening anymore to the point that they are the same quality as your average designer fragrance.
Loved This. Helped me know whether or not people outside would recognize the clone rather than the real deal while being very entertaining at the same time.
I LOVE this review!!!!! ❤️😱❤️ I love it for so many different reasons, but my main reason is because I literally JUST bought the Club De Nuit Untold cuz I REFUSE to pay over $300 again for BR540 🤦🏽♀️ especially since I’ve heard through the grapevine that Untold was spot on BR540. 🤷🏽♀️ This review just put the biggest smile on my face, and a pat on my back for choosing wisely! 😉 Thank you both so much for this review and flowers to you both! 🌹 Please keep these videos coming. 😉
Hey ash, I’m like less than an amateur here, but I think I may know why Chelsea started to not be able to differentiate between scents as you got further down the line. Her “palate” as it were, was saturated. Next time have a small jar of coffee beans to sniff in between samplings. I love your videos, thanks for doing them!
Ive seen many UA-cam fragance people blind test fragrances with their clones or just blind test cheap colognes and they can’t tell them apart of if it’s cheap. Many fragance UA-camrs are very influenced by Jeremy Fragance is like they don’t dare to contradict him or say something he wouldn’t say, this is why many say Bleu de channel is fresh enough for a hot humid summer day and stuff like that.
Sunnamusk evanto fine oil would pass as original simply because oils carry the opening notes longer and present base notes from the start. Oils are also atomic in projection. An enthusiast would know it's not Aventus, but most people would go by what they think smells more professionally created. And oil is hard to contend with.
I dont know if I could get Angel share and that Kammarah blindfolded, especially after its first sprayed. It takes a while before I can smell how much sweeter the clone gets. Thats a tough one for me at least😅well, they all would be.
According to a lot of comments on other videos and other uploaders, Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu is not Al Haramain. Supposedly people have contacted Al Haramain and been told they have no association. Most of the online sellers list it as Al Haramain, but the 'community' says no.
I haven’t checked out Amber Oud Exclusif Blue yet, I found Lalique Black in White a few years ago and IMO that ended any and all search for a Layton alternative/clone.
It would be fun if you had a competition with your fans. 1st place gets a bottle of Blue Ridge, you could set it up how you want, I just really want a Blue Ridge bottle. ....even participating reward. . . Blue Ridge, or just since this is an awesome idea 💡 Blue Ridge finders fee😮😮😮
@@eiichirose really? Thats intresting because for me it does work. Or maybe feel like working. Never seen a scientific study so maybe it just a placebo effect
How do people find clones? The names are usually so abstract and bottles/presentation typically looks nothing like the original. I've always been curious. Does the clone fragrance house say it in their notes upon release?
I'm guessing it's just the really small part of the fragrance community that is so obsessed they literally buy EVERY fragrance on the market and eventually they find one that smells close or identical to another fragrance, they spread the word and the word spreads fast.
0:07 Oooh😁 Do you guys play role-playing games? Very similar to 50 shades of black✊😎🖤💯 But seriously, the clones have become so close to their originals that it even becomes scary. But should we be afraid, because we are just a philistine and should be happy about it. The quality is at its best - the price is much less🤗🤭
I would guess that if someone was copying my test papers, that we would get a very similar grade. But the credit, and value, should go to me, the one who actually took the test, and not to the one that copied. The credit should go to the ones creating, testing, marketing, and risking, not to the one who simply copied someone else’s work. The fascination with clones and copies baffles me still.
Bit confused, as in an earlier post, you were discussing that Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu was not Al Haramain? Yet on this post you called it Al Haramain, Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu
Nice "blind" test, but I have to mention: even if Chelsey never tries to cheat, uncapping/capping the bottles, and spraying them audibly right next to Chelsey, that might give away recognizable sound clue differences between the original vs. the clone bottles. As nerdy as that may sound, but if for example Ash was the blinded examiner instead of Chelsey, then he could likely pick up some of those audible clues and know which one is which before even smelling them. And something else I must mention is my favorite fragrance topic of all time ;) The comparison ought to be better done with the ****drydown****, not the opening. A clone may get closer to the original in the drydown vs. the opening, or in fact the other way around. But in any case where the closeness really matters most is in the drydown.
@@Shawn-gw7ns There are hints our brain picks up without even consciously trying to. How a heavy cap sounds on its bottle when closing it, how it sounds when pulling it out. Even how an atomizer sounds. If you have been exposed to those things enough times, you might end up being able to tell when they match what you are hearing with eyes closed, without having ever tried to learn any of that
Rumor is she scalped the one mean commenter from her last appearance video. I think it's a lie. But I've created this fake account and used a VPN just in case.
Personally for me I find cdn limited edition to be superior in every respect compared to Intense, and it far out performs the original Creed in performance and longevity Ash
chelsea: * puts on nice eye makeup for the video *
ash: *HERE PUT BLINDFOLD*

when i rock aventus and sometimes supremacy not only intense
I got more love on the clone then the original
- yes og has more quality more naturel but 55$ Vs 420$ here in algeria
Clone all day 😂
It's a trap bro. If you smell a scent directly from the skin yes, but what you feel in the air can be absolutetly different.
@@KaroKaro290 I made the experience, that in the air Dupes are much more close than on skin.
@@wailsakhri137I think it's because they can actually smell NOI.

Put a community post where you ask which comparison we want and chelsea is the one that reads it and gives you to smell them

I love this so much!!!! I’d love a favorite list from her for men’s but also what she wears 🙏🏻
Love Chelsey's accent when you do these videos Ash. Having a woman's point of view also helps me decide which pick ups I'm gonna grab.
Just ordered Khamrah and Club De Nuit Untold and this video just got me even more excited about my choices!
Recently I've been researching into Lattafa, Armaf and Maison Alhambra and i've fallen in love with their clones and the price tags.
I love these videos!!! Can you do one of these with Herod? I would be interested to see if Chelsea can tell the difference. Love her. ( I am one of your lady viewers...Lol)
Aventus, opening is easier to tell but dry down might be tougher.
I love her perspective and personality. Please bring her back soon!
This is such an awesome video, and REALLY helped me decide on making purchases of some of these wonderful clones. Thank you for putting this video out! Would love to see more of these!
Love this way of comparing clones to originals! This has helped with a few clones I was on the fence about
Wow this is great initiative brother…this way we can clearly see how clones are super close to OG…plz keep making such content….so it means buying clones is really worth it…plz make video on many other clones as well….thank u…love from india…❤❤
Best vid. Love these
Great video. Always nice to see Chelsea, Ash! 🤘
I would have preferred to see kismet Angel comparison over kamarah.
I had Khamrah and its trash! It reminds me of old ladies! Kismet angel when we compared it back to back with Kilian was very close!!
@@nunyabiznazz2883I love Khamrah. I think its a very nice fragrance
Man this was one of my favorite videos of yours
Hey Ash. Just A suggestion, but a Top 10 Best discontinued/ Hidden gem fragrance video would be a pretty dope vid for your Extra Gents Scents Channel.
The only way this test would be 100% is the dry downs clone openings have the alcohol opening.
especially cdnim
Exactly what I was thinking
CDNIM Limited Edition may have got her even in the opening.
@@atobee2595my CDNIM has more of a lemon pledge opening, but it disappears after 10 minutes.
A lot of the new clones don't even have that cheap alcohol screachy opening anymore to the point that they are the same quality as your average designer fragrance.
Loved This. Helped me know whether or not people outside would recognize the clone rather than the real deal while being very entertaining at the same time.
Finally!!!!! Thank you for this video!!!! It's starting now and I can't wait!
Chelsea!!!! Love the hair! 😍

Love the videos with your wife!!
Yeah, definitely liked this one.
Greetings from Netherland
Love you guys doing vids together! I have always wondered why Chels has an accent and you don’t.
I wish you had doubled back & did the dry downs.

Always enjoy you two TOGETHER!💕
This video was helpful
Hey Bro, more videos like this please. Include Maison Alhambra and Afnan.

Woohoo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please do more videos like this one.

wow we haven’t seen your wife in a while! glad to see her again!
I like so much of this videos.
For the Aventus clone the CDN Limited Edition would have been a bit more difficult to tell
Sunnamusk evanto fine oil would pass as original simply because oils carry the opening notes longer and present base notes from the start. Oils are also atomic in projection.
An enthusiast would know it's not Aventus, but most people would go by what they think smells more professionally created. And oil is hard to contend with.
FYI: in description for SMW clone you have L'Aventure Blanche instead of Armaf Club de Nuit Sillage.
Fun video!
Hawas for Him by Rasasi
was launched in 2015!
can you give a rare carbon review?
I dont know if I could get Angel share and that Kammarah blindfolded, especially after its first sprayed. It takes a while before I can smell how much sweeter the clone gets. Thats a tough one for me at least😅well, they all would be.
Wich is better for clone for ombré leather? Afnan or Lattafa?
Entertaining video.
Was the y perfume wrong on the number you said vs what it showed on screen?
Mrs. Gent Scent, always looking on point 😊❤🎉
Hawas from house of rasasi is also a great invictus aqua clone, if not the best clone in my opinion

Amber Oud Exclusive Bleu is 🔥

Ya’ll look fantastic!! 🎉🎉🎉

What about El Cielo by Armaf For Invictus Aqua, and Odyssey Mega for Y EDP
Love your videos😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
Love From INDIA.
FYI - Costco has angels share for only 116.99 us, a steal imo.
Love her accent! Texan?
Khamrah is the angel share TWIST
Kismet Angel is the clone
Well done.
Khamrah always did these effect on people when i wear it always getting complimented
Mrs. Chelsey is back! more and more beautiful!!! She is a Princes!!!
No
Thanks a lot Chelsey... Just cost me $83......... 😅 Love the hair. Looking great as always. Hope you two have a great day.
Is anyone gonna ask why "thing" the hand from the Adams Family made a cameo in a bed of flowers in the first picture in the beginning of the video?
Amber oud Bleu smell like Layton?? Or Bleu channel?
What does OG mean?
Love to see that she blindfolded this time. I would suggest that you would let her sniff coffee between each fragrance to cleanse the pallet
that doesn't actually work!
@@eiichirose really? Thats intresting because for me it does work. Or maybe feel like working. Never seen a scientific study so maybe it just a placebo effect
@@meep-O apparently it's a myth... they say smelling your own skin (like the inside of your shirt) works better to get that "reset"
More of these
okay im definitely getting rare carbon after watching this video
Woody Oud vs Oud Wood?
Way better that she did it. Next time I'd like to hear her opinions/which is her favorite before saying which is the original
I love you guys chemistry ❤
I don't care if it's a clone, Khamrah is delectable and it really changed my mind about the house. I've never even smelled Angels Share.
Khamrah does it’s own thing. Yes, the bottle is confusing. The real dupe for Angels Share is Kismet Angel. Love the video, tho!
I have both, khamrah and angel share... lets just say i kept the angel share and gave my partner the khamrah 😉
bro i love her voice
Creed vs Club de Nuit Milestone Eau de Parfum? 💡
khamrah is not an angels share clone... it's a clone of dates delight house of oud

I wear fragrances mostly for myself and from skin clones cannot compete. For example CDNIM is decent on air but from skin absolute putrid.
Ash zeemed a lil bit hurt by the sillage there at the end 😅

I have Invictus aqua 2016 and i would sell, for a fair price.
Khamrah doesn't smell anything like angels share, actually to me it smells like xerjoff italica

@user-in8hw1qn3t it's just the latest one which performs amazingly for me, 1st time purchase
She needed coffee beans towards the end
Why not try again after 15 minutes and then maybe 30 minutes to see if anything changes?
You should show Chelsea to blindfold you and you tell us which one is the original vs. The clone
