You definitely have the most relevant reviews for the season this year which is good to see! I would’ve thought that something with the name Sweet Smoke would smell more like Memoirs of a Trespasser than TV but that’s interesting how you mention they’re exact clones. Yup I feel the same way about OW, one of the few greatly appreciated high class scents

thanks for this video CHRIS I own 15 TF PRIVATE BLEND clones by ELIXIRS OF EDEN & am very happy with their quality & performance 2 of my favorites are these 2 that you covered with such great quality it is hard to justify paying 10 times the amount for the TF originals (which I also own) JIM from MIAMI BEACH
I have Agar and really like it. To my nose it smells similar to Sauvage by Dior. Overall I find it really to be smooth scent and now that my 5 ml is empty I may buy a 30 ml bottle. Oh and... Great vid sir.
I bought Agar prior of buying Oud Wood. I loved Agar from the 1st sniff and I was really impressed. Couple of weeks after that, I came across 30ml Oud Wood for €100.00 and funnily enough, they did not have a tester - the assistant told me that someone might have stolen it. Anyway, I bought it without thinking twice. Once in the car, I opened it, and found it pretty close to Agar. Needless to say, I prefer Oud Wood, but Agar, to my nose, it is a solid substitution. Price aside, which is obvious, the juice is pretty good and performance-wise, I get better from Agar than Oud Wood - go figures. I will definitely try that Sweet Smoke! ... thanks, once again ...
Thank you Lanier. Yes definitely a house to sample. Their original creations are very nice too. I picked up Cleopatra today so I'll be taking a trip to ancient Egypt very soon!
I have both of these scents from AF and Sweet Smoke is definitely a favorite. Agar on the hand is good but it doesn't seem to project or last as long on my skin as Sweet Smoke does.
Oud Wood is the Ultimate sophistication and class in a bottle . I might sample sweet smoke @ some point since it’s that good as u mentioned . Great review as always 👏
Yes I agree completely! I wore Oud Wood today. I think Sweet Smoke is a great copy of Tobacco Vanille. If you're not familar with TV it's a lovely sweet vanilla balanced perfectly with the slightly sharper tobacco note 👌
Great video Chris! I've tried the OG of these scents but have yet to try Haney's take on them yet. Haney makes really good interpretations of his scents though and I also like his originals as well! I think the names he comes up with in the inspired expressions are just genius play on words! Keep up the great work brother! You're blowing the fuck up bro! I'm genuinely *GENUINELY* happy for you my friend and you seriously deserve all the success in the world! 👍👍
FRAG-MENTAL is it?!? Is *CRAZY* Pineapple *CRAZY* GOOD?!?! IS IT?! THAT'S ABSOLUTELY *CRAZY!!!* JUST A MUCH AS WE ARE ABSOLUTELY *CRAZY!!!* 😂 LOL I'll shave to try to pick that one up and give it a try! 👍👍...... *CRAZY!!!*
Hey Chris, any experience with Arabian Horse? This is Alexandria’s take on Tobacco Oud. I’ve not found any reviews online so that’s usually not a good sign.
I have agar but have never smelt Oud Wood lol 😂 so good to hear your take so I’m a little wiser now on how close they are , how do they compare in longevity terms chris 🤷♂️any significant difference between the two on that front 👍
Hey Nigel. Yeh I got better longevity off Oud Wood. Agar seemed to fade earlier after around 4/5 hours. Of course that's just on me and may differ for others!
Cracking stuff, love TV, what’s the performance like with sweet smoke? Is it as strong? I have a bottle of TV but don’t use as much as i want because of the price. Not a fan of oud wood personally but i have a decant of the vintage juice.
If I was dating someone that used cheap clones I'd either take them, or expect to be taken to McDonalds on a date. To me there's a lot of mixed messages here. words like, the same, exact, perfect followed by 'interpretation' and 'how close this one is'. Surely it isn't 'close' if it's the same. I don't believe it, it sounds too much like Alexandria hype to me. However, if you want to prove me wrong, send me a sample. Better yet, send me two, or even three samples. One of Tobacco Vanille, one of the clone, and if sending three, one that might be either TV or the clone. Simply label them 1, 2 (and 3) and I'll attempt to figure out which one is which.

Yes definitely, the name does indicate that. Spot on TV clone though! So glad you're enjoying my channel 👍
18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Spirits is another great Tobacco Vanille option. Super niche smelling with great sillage. Worth getting your nose on.
I agree with you on the sweet smoke. It’s spot on. I remember trying it. It was so good.
Yes and luckily my wife is none the wiser when I tell her it's TV😂
FRAG-MENTAL You can give her Sweet Smoke and save the real thing for later.
I already have. She doesn't realise 😂
You're the top frag reviewer out there. Anywhere. Your viewers trust what you say, and buy accordingly.

How long did the fragrance last? Tom Ford last 10 hours plus on my skin.

Hit it right on the nail when you said it was the first scent that took you away from designer scents. Same for me
I have Agar and really like it. To my nose it smells similar to Sauvage by Dior. Overall I find it really to be smooth scent and now that my 5 ml is empty I may buy a 30 ml bottle. Oh and... Great vid sir.
Hey Joey, yes Agar is lovely and smooth. Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍
I’ve looked at AF UK site but unlike perfume parlour they don’t say what they are compared to. From the AF names I have no idea what they are.
Oh no! She knows about it NOW! lol Awesome. Thanks for the heads up Chris.
But what she doesn't know it that I've filled the TV decant with Sweet Smoke 😂

I will definitely try that Sweet Smoke! ...
thanks, once again ...
Ah that's really interesting Liam. It could be down to differences in batches or you may just have awesome body chemistry!
My Oud Wood is from 2017 Batch ... maybe it's a weaker batch ... still, it's a gorgeous frag! ...
I prefer Agar than Oud Wood ...lol
Bravo Chirs! I really do have to check out Alexandria...both the perfume and of course I have always wanted to go to Alexandria Egypt! Cheers.
Thank you Lanier. Yes definitely a house to sample. Their original creations are very nice too. I picked up Cleopatra today so I'll be taking a trip to ancient Egypt very soon!
I wouldn't say sweet smoke is just like the tom ford one, maybe like 80%, but for the price, can't complain!
Aahhh come on, it's better than 80, for sure.
Hi there. Would you say this is better than the Perfume Parlour clones? 👍🏼
Thanks Chris!
I have both of these scents from AF and Sweet Smoke is definitely a favorite. Agar on the hand is good but it doesn't seem to project or last as long on my skin as Sweet Smoke does.
Joe I completely agree 👍

Thanks buddy! I'm so happy I get to keep such great company on this little journey. I am loving their originals too. Crazy Pineapple is crazy good!

Can you please let me know what you think of oakchas oud wood inspiration
I love that Sweet smoke. Nice video.
Great video, excellent explaination.
Hey Chris, any experience with Arabian Horse? This is Alexandria’s take on Tobacco Oud. I’ve not found any reviews online so that’s usually not a good sign.
I haven't tried that one Jay
👍🏼 Thanks Chris!
@@jaycagle8416 Arabian Horse is a take on PDM Herod and I think it's pretty great actually. Love it.
It's been 3 of your videos I've viewed today, might be time to subscribe :P
How is the longevity sir ?
So it sounds like considering it's abit smoother just give it 2 more sprays
I have agar but have never smelt Oud Wood lol 😂 so good to hear your take so I’m a little wiser now on how close they are , how do they compare in longevity terms chris 🤷♂️any significant difference between the two on that front 👍
Hey Nigel. Yeh I got better longevity off Oud Wood. Agar seemed to fade earlier after around 4/5 hours. Of course that's just on me and may differ for others!
which one you recommend as replacement for pardon nasomatto ... alexandria or perfume parlour?
They're both equally as good! I'll let you decide 😉
ok i am going for original! then only i can judge which clone is closer ! ;)
Nice video. Could you suggest a clone for Tom Ford’s fucking fabulous?
I have parfums de marly herod looks like sweet smook or are you diferent ?
You would by it ?
Hi Juan, they're both quite different tobacco scents so I'd say you could own both. I do!
Thanks for you quick reaction
Good weekend!!
Cracking stuff, love TV, what’s the performance like with sweet smoke? Is it as strong? I have a bottle of TV but don’t use as much as i want because of the price. Not a fan of oud wood personally but i have a decant of the vintage juice.
Thanks! Sweet Smoke seems to perform just as well as TV 👍
Hello how are you I have a question any of the Clone houses, have any clone to Acqua di Parma Colonia Pura??
I'm very well thanks. Check Perfume Parlour. I have their take on Colonia and it's excellent!
FRAG-MENTAL any chance you can do a review on that Colonial
Wow Oud Wood did the same for me!
Cool! 👍
Great video.
Thank you!
Agar doesnt project and longevity is piss poor. Its a gorgeous scent but thats abt it. It becomes a skin scent within 2 hrs max.
so does Oud Wood for me :/
I have TF Oud Wood and i have AGAR.. i think this is bad clone.. similarities maybe 75-80% ...not long lasting.. dua fragrances have bad clone to
It's not one of their closest. Maybe try Perfume Parlours. I've not tried it but I hear it's a good one 👍
I Love TF Oud Wood but price is Highest...
they are never good! thats why they are clones!!! its same as u wear a fake moncler jacket !
@@FRAGMENTAL Have you tried Perfume Parlours old Woodies yet Chris?
Montagne Parfums OUD Bois is the best I've found. So close I actually wear them together to stretch my insanely expensive bottle of OUD Wood.
Isn’t Tom Ford designer ? But good video! Thanks for the content !
Nah, niche.
nice vids. bro. keep it up
Thanks Omar! Keep watchin em and I'll keep makin em! 👍

Why not spend your own money and buy yourself samples; do the comparison, and let us know your take on the subject?

no one feels the need to convince you.. have fun at McDonald’s tho
threw mine away
First!! B)
Well done buddy!! 😉
