I received Sceptre Malachite yesterday, and will tell you it is not NOT a clone of Bvlgari Kobraa. It is a fruity floral, and not a bad one at that. It opens with aquatic fruit notes reminiscent of litchi fruit with hints of watermelon. In the heart there is red apple, pear nuances, and sweet rose. It stays fruity and fresh throughout it's drydown, and never veers too heavily into a lavender or fougere direction. In the base I detect a discreet sugar note, not burnt sugar, and definitely not as loud as the cotton candy note in Byredo Sundazed. There are also hints of clean musk, an indistinct woody note, and something warming the whole composition ever so slightly. I'm thinking this must be cinnamon. This is a wearable scent perfect for any age or situation and will garner compliments. I wouldn't call it generic or common though. The litchi note gives it an exotic and delicious quality. Highly recommended. ❤
@@ivanfunko8171I highly doubt that. The notes listed for Malakeos smell nothing like this. This one is a fruity floral with some light aromatic notes and botanical qualities. The closest thing I could compare it to would be Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Toit on steroids.
@@JoseRamirez-uz6lg maybe, kinda. But alhambra cloned bulgary le gemme. Names of sceptre series are similar to bulgary's le gemme series. Malachite, amazonite, etc. plus sceptre bottles are made in style of le gemme bottles.
@@JoseRamirez-uz6lgI haven't smelled God of Fire but the notes of that fragrance seem closer to how this smells. God of Fire has mango as a key note. If there is mango in Sceptre Malachite, it is a subdued and shower gel like mango. I have so much interest in this fragrance. It's a wonderful escape from the oud dominant fragrances everyone puts out nowadays. Also, for a fruity/ floral fragrance, it sure projects and lasts long!❤
AMAOZINITE is not a blind buy .. challenging is a good word to describe it. My initial response is not pleasant, however I have learned you need to give some of these time to sit and then come back to it a few months later. Your descriptions are really good btw..
Your reviews are amazing, you are the only one reviewing newer and rare clones, I suggest you add timestamps to each fragrance to make the content more interactive. a couple of lines I would suggest you review are Georgians by Flavia Perfumes/Armaf (inspired by Penhalligons Portraits) and Giovanni Lorenzi by FA Paris/Fragrance World (inspired by Tiziana Terenzi), the quality is amazing
Do you like PDM's Carlisle ? I figured its also leaning in that direction, considering this fact, yes it a unisex fragrance but a bit more on the Masculine side... but again... try Carlisle, if ur into those notes... Go for it...
Darn I ordered Sceptre Malachite thinking it was a clone of Kobraa. Do you think Sceptre Malachite is actually cloning Bvlgari Malakeos? What does Sceptre Malachite smell like?
@@whiteelephant5659smells floral. Maybe kinda fruit bubblegumy in the opening. Little bit powdery base. Not malakeos. I think its bvlgsri erea clone. No one compared them yet))
@@whiteelephant5659 God of Fire, I actually ordered it for office use, but if it smells beyond expectations I might save it for special occasions during summery days.

@@ivanfunko8171Agreed! It's a unique unisex fruity/floral with lasting power. Hard to come by in this current trend of synthetic ouds 😊
Thank you for this INSANELY descriptive and thorough review, you deserve so much more respect and attention in this game.🙌
I appreciate you bud ! Just learning and trying :)
Agreed within the 1st 2minutes I subscribed ,it's nice to see originality with a ability to convey experiences
I discovered your channel this morning. Thanks for the breakdown here. There are 2 that have to get my hands on.
Welcome My Man !

Thank you for taking the time to do this video really help me in my decisions I just brought two bottles
I’ve heard Malachite is cloning SHL God of Fire. If you want a more accurate Kobraa clone you’ll wanna review Vie Sol by FA Paris by Fragrance World.
Your reviews are amazing, you are the only one reviewing newer and rare clones, I suggest you add timestamps to each fragrance to make the content more interactive. a couple of lines I would suggest you review are Georgians by Flavia Perfumes/Armaf (inspired by Penhalligons Portraits) and Giovanni Lorenzi by FA Paris/Fragrance World (inspired by Tiziana Terenzi), the quality is amazing
Love Amazonite! Unique profile in low budget category.
I think Malachite is Malakeos. The description on Bvlgari’s website even mentions malachite being the stone on top of the bottle.
Definitely wanna try the scepter malachite 😍
Tygar is the new bcr540 or aventus with how many clones there are of it, not that its bad but choice paralysis is real
lol
Choose the least known fragrance, this way you'll still be unique while wearing the same dna as everybody else lol
Lattafa Al Qiam Silver is pretty much identical to my decant of OG Tygar.. I'd just go with that and make it easy on yourself
OCEANA = OROM
AMAZONITE = FALKAR
BRONZITE = TYGAR
MALACHITE = He says KOBRAA some say GOD OF FIRE
Any dupe for Bvlgari le gemme GYAN?
New subscriber, 1st you are amazing, second love your passion and expression with this review ,thanks you're definitely 1 of a kind ,great work
Wanted to know since im a blue freshie type of a man which 1of these would better suit my preference and thanks again
everyone talks about the mango scent, you dont smell that?
I’m looking for a clone of Empyr which is my favorite of the Le Gemme lineup. Anybody knows of one please drop it here!
Any update?
@@polanialmoni6274 unfortunately no, but I have found decants of it on some scent splitting sites
I have all four and amazonite is my favorite.
For me its Oceana ;) lolxxxx 😂
How close is it to Tyger? I have many clones of it but still not like the og.
Hi bro, which one is the best of the line if you give a number line from first is best?
Sceptre Oceana & then Sceptre Malachite :)
@@scentfolio503 thanks alot for the info.
@@scentfolio503 i ordered sceptre Oceana and i believe in you 💪💪💪
Plz sir the longevity projection and sillage of Oceana ?
@@salaheddineessaoud9820I just bought the oceana & I'm going to be trying it out I'll give you a feedback after a day or two
About oceans, can i use it as a woman?
Do you like PDM's Carlisle ? I figured its also leaning in that direction, considering this fact, yes it a unisex fragrance but a bit more on the Masculine side... but again... try Carlisle, if ur into those notes... Go for it...
@@scentfolio503I really like Carlisle, was the performance good?
May i know which one is the best? N long lasting
Have anyone compared amazonite to Tyger og?
Привет из России! Спасибо большое за обзор!
why do you guys play music during review its annoying.
Malachite is not remotely close to Kobraa, way different
Malachite is nothing like bvlgari kobraa. Kobraa is a fragrance whose main notes are incense and geranium.
Darn I ordered Sceptre Malachite thinking it was a clone of Kobraa. Do you think Sceptre Malachite is actually cloning Bvlgari Malakeos? What does Sceptre Malachite smell like?
@@whiteelephant5659 Malakeos is a strong fougere, is very different
@@whiteelephant5659how is sceptre malachite bro?
@@whiteelephant5659smells floral. Maybe kinda fruit bubblegumy in the opening. Little bit powdery base. Not malakeos. I think its bvlgsri erea clone. No one compared them yet))

Wrong! Maison Alhambra is a clone of SHL God of Fire NOT BVLGARI KOBRAA.
Lol he got EVERYTHING wrong about this one.
“Green,rose,amber,spicy,herbal,floral,OUD, saffron ?” 😂😂. BRO HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. 😂😂😂
Bro you need to review Sceptre again 😂. That wasn’t it
Malachite is a clone of LeGemme
Le Gemme is an entire collection and includes many fragrances.
