Just won a 4.2 oz Layton tester in a raffle , cost me $33 for two raffle tickets and $12 upcharge for the difference. I'm gonna wear it today for the 1st time
I just got in a sample of Phaedon's Tabac Rouge, tried it on skin, and was instantly reminded of Amber Oud Tobacco Edition. Same sweetness, same spices, same tobacco.
I just got a decant of Naxos last week and when I smelled it for the first time, my first thought was “wow, that smells just like Insurrection II Wild”
Red tobacco is a beast of a fragrance. I have Layton and detour noir but the but seems to fade out really quick not sure if it's my skin or the climate where I live.
Great review, thanks a lot! I have smelled a lot of Erba Pura clones, and also tried the original recently to compare. So far the most accurate was the Paris Corner's Voux Turqoise for me.
Well Khamrah isn't really a clone of Angels Share, its similar but it goes in a different direction. Kismet Angel (Also made by Lattafa) is pretty much a spot on clone
@@logancohan khamrah for sure. After a long time of having and trying both, while kismet angel is closer to Angel's Share (boozier), it doesn't perform nearly as well as khamrah, which is sweeter but unique and very luxurious smelling. It is a BOMB (do not wear during hot days!)
Hugo boss the scent le parfum vs Narciso Rodriguez bleu noir parfum, if you have to choose between these two fragrances, which one will you choose? thank you for the answer
@Luis Alonzo I know. But if you've ever noticed, niche houses price their stuff foolishly expensive, too. It was a joke. I bet you're a blast at parties.
@@luisalonzo3832niche has multiple definitions, it can mean houses they exclusively make fragrances and not other products or it can mean it’s available to a smaller amount of people(or niche). Tom Ford’s private blend is priced alongside a lot of niche brands so it’s not totally out of the question to call it a “niche” line
I never cmell Angels Share, but i had Khamra for a moment and for me it was like something between Armanis Stronger with You Inensly and Abcolutly plus something else.
For me, it smells noticeably cheaper then Angel’s Share. It’s fine for what it cost, but Angels Share caught me off guard with how better it is. I highly recommend sampling it it just to see the difference
Silver Mountain Water is an awesome DNA that is sadly watered down now. Luckily theres Armaf Sillage, Afnan Supremacy in Heaven and Ajmal Silver Shade which may not make use of the same quality ingredients but have amazing smell and performance relative to the price
Hi Ash , I definitely don't doubt your knowledge on scents, obviously not.. but I beg to differ where you said Naxos and Insurection 2 wild smell close to each other. I have both and they seem nowhere "close" to know another. Never smelled Pure Havane so can't say about that and insurection . But nothing like Naxos, only IMO, I can be wrong
As always I agree with the honesty of AShton. Erba pure is so cloyingly sweet and u can't even take it off. Even 20 times sweeter than any Paco Robanes. More than fruits is so much of peach
Quick question for anyone who knows. I hear ya say designer houses, niche houses and Indy houses from time to time and the first 2 are easy enough but what qualifies a house as an Indy house and can you give me a example or 2??
Can you review Armaf voyage titan? My wife bought me this for Valentine’s Day and it’s VERY nice. But I can not find much information on it on the inter webs. It has like 4 whole notes on fragrantica. Thanks
I’m wearing a decant of Mancera’s Vanille Exclusive. I am in total love with it. I’m not even going to bother with clones. Yes. Anyone tried their black vanille?
I got Basso and Vibrato and love them... took like a month after ordering on MaxAroma for Basso because they took the order and realized it was out of stock. Sent me like 20 samples for the delay so can't complain.
There's another clone of PDM Layton no one talks about that is spot on and has great quality. Bharara Blue. I have both Detour Noir and Bharara Blue. They are both amazing
I just got Kismet Angel in the other day and it is a fantastic fragrance! I had Fire Your Desire by Paris Corner but it so weak, I gave it to my teenage son for his birthday. I own Wild and Tobacco and it definitely has a Vick's vapor rub note in it. Think Insurrection II Wild + a pinky tip of Vick's.
Khamrah is way too fruity sweet and floral for me. Bought it expecting it to be close to Angel's share and ended up hating it. Soma Halcyon is much closer to Killians Angel Share albeit expensive but you get more juice for the money.
@@dqyler really? Oh.. I thought because it’s oud.. and because people say performance is great.. that this one could be a punch in your face.. very strong and all that
@@ismael85 for me this type of fragrance you use 2-4 sprays max, it's not a really loud fragrance, if you did over spray I can see how it could be nauseating, but 2-4 sprays is absolutely fine, for me the performance is in how long it lasts before it's just a skin scent, I have others like sauvage elixir or frank Oliver Oud touch, those are much stronger to my nose and I stick to just 2 sprays with those guys
Picked up a sample of Tobacco Vanille and it is absolutely awful to my nose. Honestly shocked at how this gets promoted in a world where there are substantially better Tobacco options. Side Effect, Naxos, Herod, Carlisle etc...
@@Javier300k I'm into the drydown phase now and it is better (less disgusting) but still smells like rotten pickles and sweaty old socks to my nose with a sweet vanilla undertone and powdery Tobacco behind that. This stuff is definitely an acquired taste...
The drydown is horrid, I wanted to get rid of it after 30 minutes. XJ Naxos, Mancera Red Tobacco are better scents. L'occitane gets the tobacco and vanilla balance right with Eaux Des Baux for me.
Just Jack Noir Endurance is a great one. It’s very cheap but availability is not to great. Also Just Jack Oud Oak is a great Oud Wood clone. It’s owned by the same company as Armaf.
Don't get the hype with Layton, actually don't get the hype with any PDM fragrance. I recently sampled them all and the only one I would buy is Layton exclusif
In elementary school there was an autistic kid in my class who thought he was a cat. The teacher brought a box for them to sit in because cats don’t sit at the table. And it was fine because the kid wanted to do it, 15 years ago. The kid was autistic though, like, actually
Ana Abiyedh Rouge is not well liked on Fragrantica. Many reviews say it is alcohol smelling, weak, and too feminine. There must be a reason it is only 16.99 on Jomashop. Yet you keep promoting this fragrance. I don't get it.
Lataffa has been killing the clone game
Red Tobacco was my first niche. Wearing it right now, I still love it.
Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s insane how Naxos is the only scent that clone houses haven’t invested more time into. It’s such an amazing fragrance.
You only need one, Alexandria 1981x

khamrah is one of my favorite clones. I was so impressed with its scent and preformance
Thanks!

Nice! I just ordered Voux Elegante Paris Corner this morning.
The video we've all been waiting for.
Great video. I'd suggest you do a similar theme, but instead it's your personal top 10 fragrances with their best alternatives.
I just got a decant of Naxos last week and when I smelled it for the first time, my first thought was “wow, that smells just like Insurrection II Wild”
Which smells ehhhhh not the best…
where do you get your decants
Red tobacco is a beast of a fragrance. I have Layton and detour noir but the but seems to fade out really quick not sure if it's my skin or the climate where I live.
It's a really cold day here and I'm wearing Red Tabacco, mega power 🤯
I wore it almost everyday last week. So reliable when it’s cold
Great video as usual, Ash! 🤘
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
would choose which?
Armaf untold or Lattafa rouge?
How about Charuto Tobacco Vanille???
Charuto is identical on the dry down.. I wore in in Sephora and tried tobacco vanille by Tom ford and couldn’t tell a difference ..
Do you have Guerlain l´homme ideal l´intense edp (black bottle) ? if so whats your opinions ?
this is the video i've been waiting for
Great review, thanks a lot! I have smelled a lot of Erba Pura clones, and also tried the original recently to compare. So far the most accurate was the Paris Corner's Voux Turqoise for me.
I had sillage and smw. Sold the Sillage because the smell was quite far from smw
Well Khamrah isn't really a clone of Angels Share, its similar but it goes in a different direction. Kismet Angel (Also made by Lattafa) is pretty much a spot on clone
Exactly! Khamrah goes in a very different direction, where kismet angel is one to one, but has a certain powderyness to it that Angel's share doesn't
@@eiichiroseshould I go khamzat or kismet angel? It’s a blind buy what’s better
@@logancohan khamrah for sure. After a long time of having and trying both, while kismet angel is closer to Angel's Share (boozier), it doesn't perform nearly as well as khamrah, which is sweeter but unique and very luxurious smelling. It is a BOMB (do not wear during hot days!)
Khamrah smells so feminine. Hope Kismet Angel is better?
Ordered khamrah from the restock 2 days ago😏
the best clone for xerjoff naxos is alexandria 1981 x. this scent is great
What happened to rasasi la yuqawam. Isn't that like the closest to Tuscan leather?
Hugo boss the scent le parfum vs Narciso Rodriguez bleu noir parfum, if you have to choose between these two fragrances, which one will you choose? thank you for the answer
Tom Ford's private blends count as niche fragrances in my books. They're priced at a stupidly high rate, even moreso than Dior or Chanel fragrances.
Price doesn’t mean niche. Tom ford is a designer house 😂
@Luis Alonzo I know. But if you've ever noticed, niche houses price their stuff foolishly expensive, too. It was a joke. I bet you're a blast at parties.

Why are you laughing hysterically ? 🙂
for me clone of erba pura is GEPARLYS Cerdre blue, you should try this one
Alexandria Fragrances Brooklyn Fragrance Lover…. Is actually a very very solid clone / interpretation of Angel Share…
I never cmell Angels Share, but i had Khamra for a moment and for me it was like something between Armanis Stronger with You Inensly and Abcolutly plus something else.
For me, it smells noticeably cheaper then Angel’s Share. It’s fine for what it cost, but Angels Share caught me off guard with how better it is. I highly recommend sampling it it just to see the difference

Silver Mountain Water is an awesome DNA that is sadly watered down now. Luckily theres Armaf Sillage, Afnan Supremacy in Heaven and Ajmal Silver Shade which may not make use of the same quality ingredients but have amazing smell and performance relative to the price
You should try Rasasi Al Wisam Day, I think it's the best one

Friend gave me a sample and even with one spray it's cloying. I don't see how anyone pulls that off.
La yuqawam or Toscano Leather from alhambra?
shagaf oud abyad is pretty close to old interlude(the smokey one)
Quick question for anyone who knows. I hear ya say designer houses, niche houses and Indy houses from time to time and the first 2 are easy enough but what qualifies a house as an Indy house and can you give me a example or 2??
What do you Think about hugo boss Dark blue🤔
still not found a cheaper alternative with similar lasting and silliage to Jp Malone Rose Arabie. any recommendations?
Great video!!!! Loved it
Thx for sharing these :)
Hi dear friend, have you ever tried not clones houses but a first copy of real fragrances made not in Turkey but in Europe using not bad oils
When I want vanilla and tabac, I'd just go for Herod. And Mancera? Check out Tonka Cola.
You had me at cheaper alternatives
My buddy gave me a sample of parfums vintage rush of unicorns and it took me back to creed’s milliseme imperial they smell very similar
I had this. I loved it but after a couple of years it somehow went bad and I had to throw it away.
One of the best and cheapest Silver Mountain Water clone has to be _Silver Shade_ by Ajmal
Dope topic fire list 💯
Is By Killian still considered a “niche” fragrance house, being an Estée Lauder brand now?
It's amazing video thanks

Sospiro relaunched as it's own brand again, apparently has some 🔥🔥🔥
I got Basso and Vibrato and love them... took like a month after ordering on MaxAroma for Basso because they took the order and realized it was out of stock. Sent me like 20 samples for the delay so can't complain.
So has sospiro vibrato been moved to xerjof?
Are you doing Liz lemon doing sling blade working as a perfume dealer in the opening?
That intro was IMDB 9.7/10 bro :D
In my opinion, the best alternative for BCR 540 is absolutely All Saints Sunset Riot.
whats your opinion on Biocurra, and Emra?
Sospiro got relaunched with updated names. Erba pura is now called erba pura magica.
Enjoyed 👍
An alternative for oud satin mood?
There's another clone of PDM Layton no one talks about that is spot on and has great quality. Bharara Blue. I have both Detour Noir and Bharara Blue. They are both amazing
There's also Luxodor Loyal Agar, which also stays under the radar.
what are some notes to look out for a manly smell that isn't woody?
Kismet Angel is closer to the angel share dna.
I just got Kismet Angel in the other day and it is a fantastic fragrance! I had Fire Your Desire by Paris Corner but it so weak, I gave it to my teenage son for his birthday.

@@LarryAsberryJr The Paris Corner fragrances are really hit & miss... mostly miss.
Make reviews of Paris corner's fragrances.

Ash try Al Haramain blu exclusif.its better than detour noir
Amouage interlud tester?
Picked up Oud for glory, really liked it to begin with, especially for the price but I haven't gone back to it! Maybe time for another spin
is it very strong?
i want to buy but i am afraid it will be too much for me..
@@ismael85 it's not over powering to me at all, a couple of sprays and it's totally fine

please make part 2
because more fragrances are very famous on the same house.. and some designer are like niche... like tuxedo that is expensive..
Maison Alhambra’s The Tux is almost 1 to 1 to YSL Tuxedo, for sure the best I’ve tried!
Tom ford is designer. I doesn’t matter if it’s private blend or not plain and simple
Picked up a sample of Tobacco Vanille and it is absolutely awful to my nose. Honestly shocked at how this gets promoted in a world where there are substantially better Tobacco options. Side Effect, Naxos, Herod, Carlisle etc...
i thought that as well... but it was the body spray..
i did not even try in my skin since i thought i would be stinking later
I like the dry down the opening is awfully I agree it smells bad but the dry down is amazing
@@Javier300k yeah.. I have to ignore any feelings and try in the skin some times fords and see if I like

The Tux is better than Tuxedo (or mustache)
I like this intro.
Bro check out some treatment for your hair loss you can revert it back quite a bit, check out Minoxidil and Fenasteride
Problem is you have to use it non-stop...when you stop taking minoxidil the hairs fall out again...best option for ash is a trip to istanbul

always always purchase ........ the original.
I prefer Kısmet Angel
Please try Lattafa Afkaar (Mancera IC clone)
You should make an entire video as Darth Gents scents
Dang I wanted to get angels share but now I think maybe a clone lol
In my mind Red Tobacco is a cheaper version of Carlisle.
Every video should start like this
My wife's boyfriend sent me here
Mine has 3 and they all sent me here
Glad you listened to my recommendation 👍
Ahh a Will Smith disciple 😌
Glad you listened
