Cedrat Boise ... OMG that citrus fresh with spices opening. And lasts for hours. Afterwards a beautiful sweet woody scent with a bit of leather. Best fragrance I ever had.
Aqua Universalis forte is a great performer and an excellent scent. And if you want value for money, dior homme cologne 2014 is a great fresh long lasting fragrance for the really hot days. Also, a rare freshie from montale, soleil de Capri. A nice floral unisex fragrance that is a departure from the usual citrus/aquatic fare that is marketed towards us guys.
Some of the freshies that last quite a long time are: 1. Aqua Universalis Forte by MFK 2. Aqua Sextius by Jul Et Mad 3. Wulong Cha by Nishane 4. Aqva Viva by Profvmvm Roma Do try them out if you haven’t Dan.
I have both cedrat boise and lemon line from mancera and for me though cedrat smells good but in terms longevity and fresheness lemon line beats it hands down i did strip test of these. The lemon scent stayed strong even the after 24 hrs
A great selection, I love Essenza, Cedrat Boise and Icon. I really need to try some of these Dua clones you’ve recommeded. Enjoying your blog as well, keep up the great work.
Hats off sir .... These list are almost unavailable in my location but I can definitely relate to it... I couldn't agree more with aqua amara, pineapple and mancera ... Spot on....
I am so intrigued by all these dupe companies. Never heard of Parfums Vintage prior to your video. So, I went to their website using the link you provided, and I am a bit dumbfounded. Nowhere on their site do they state which of the famous scents their versions are comparable to. How would one know? Do you just buy blindly based on their description and then realize it’s a good match to something niche you already own?
Your great at the reviews.. respect.. personally I LOVE FAHRENHEIT.ORIGINAL EDT ( the perfum drab ) . YSL KUROS.. POLO ORIGINAL green bottle.. and some Givenchy I got in Dubai 2001..( theres a few but I cant bec precise... ) &SALVADOR DHALI ORIGINAL TO SHOCK EM ALL.. !!
Excellent choices. Rasasi Al Wisam Day is a good performing semi-SMW clone that gives out a cool and sweet vibe on a long hot day too as long as you don't plaster yourself in it.
You'll enjoy it, I think. You'll be familiar with it already because of the similarity to others that sometimes get described as being close to SMW. That said, it's got its own twist. Good quality too. Al Wisam Evening is trickier. I like it. I like it a lot but its a bit peculiar and unique. Nothing at all like the shiny bright Day version and probably wouldn't be called a crowd pleasing fragrance by many but still a quirky beaut to me. Thoroughly enjoy your channel.
How many sprays do you go with the perfume parlours? I've got around 10 spray versions. I like the smell and longevity on most is good but struggle with projection and getting them to pop. How many sprays and where.
Alot of reviewers kinda dismiss Jimmy choo fragrances but Jimmy choo man intense is in my opinion smells really good it is a little generic in terms of fresh peppery scents but I believe it has both suede and Tonka bean in it which makes it a tad unique as well but the scent fills a room and lasts all day and is only about 60$ for a 3.4oz bottle
Can I add in Dylan blue ..if people don't like the sauvage nauseating tones then Dylan blue performs as well but fast forwards to all the great incense and patchouli
Excellent, as usual; thanks, Dan. Btw, Cedrat Boise is everywhere and from what I have read, lives up to the hype. I went shopping at a shop that had all of the AdPs and Essenza and Fico di Malfi were both superb. ESSENZA!!!
I like to experiment with neroliz portofino, in a 10ml decant I go 7ml neroliz and 3ml of something else ..been getting great results with aqua Di gio and amara so far
MrSmelly1977 seems to add the initial brightness that's missing in neroliz portofino. The neroli in neroliz is fantastic quality and longivity is decent so you don't need much of something else but make sure it's a bright one to lift it. Great video btw
MrSmelly1977 I you like neroli as I do and citrus then penhaligons castile is a fantastic fragrance with superb longivity ..it's like a cross between aqua Di parma original and Tom Ford neroli portofino..good prices on ebay
I'm almost of the mind that even if one is on the fence about something like Sauvage (edt or edp), shouldn't the possibility that future years might see weakened production batches influence a purchasing decision? Time and again, we've seen fragance formulations disappoint with subsequent batches.
The Acqua Di Parma is a hit (the Intenso version is great too) Boise Cedrat is my ever favorite spring, summer 👍🏼 I'm surprised with the Icon from Dunhill. I've been going circles around it, but I will try it out. Many Thanks 😎🙏🏼👌🏼
I love Gorse, but VIW is just a little bit better in my opinion. Cedrat Boise turns into a predominately leather scent on my skin, and not a particularly fresh one. Essenza lasts forever, but I have to be in a certain mood for the soapiness. I much prefer Agua de Colonia Concentrada Barberia from Alvarez Gomez' shaving line
So for the neroli portofinos you can get the sprays in the us but you have to spend a certain amount, I bought like 7 different clones and got them shipped to me but I spent almost 90$ us by the end of it so....
I blind bought Cedrat Boise based off a recommendation by you... I LOVE IT! can you make a top 5 video of your favorite Mancera fragrances? Thanks!! Great video.
How Laboratory Parfums are available in Europe and cant seem to find it? About Icon, I really get truly insane performance with the batch from 2016 year, bought a back up bottle from 2017 and it is at least twice as softer, but still above average. Perfect nr 1 pick as it is my favorite from Mancera next to Aoud Lemon Mint and one of the favorite from fruity fresh cents with stunning performance.
Have you smelled Mancera Sicily? I've seen very good reviews and opinions (really nice fresh scent, long lasting, etc..) but for some reason it's not on the hype train. Either way, I will receive a sample shortly and I'll see if I've discovered a gem or not hahah
lovely list...love them mostly and gotta try some out, dua frags may be are good but i dont want to pay for that decant bottle presentation, and a clone house charging that much is hard for me.but its just my opinion.mahsam is a nice guy hands down but id buy the original fragrances....loved the intro...classic as always :)
On a similar note (and this goes for both companies), why is Pineapple Vintage charging major fragrance house prices when the research & development costs, advertising and office and employee overhead are a minute fraction of what a major house experiences? Several perfume articles state that the cost is about 3% of the retail price of a bottle.
tracer073 I don't what actual plant gorse smell like. But, the frag Gorse smell like somewhat coconut but it has nutty smell to it. I purchased two bottles of it purely based on Mr.Smelly review and I do not regret one bit. I like VIW. If i have to say what I don't like about it is that it has a very waxy vibe. That's why I bought Alexandria's Hawaii Volcano. If you really look for a nice coconut fragrance, you should try Tom Ford Solei Blanc.
@ rtifak cool, is it better than Hawaii volcano, and is it closer to viw, if I'm looking for a Viw type fragrance or clone, what would you recommend as the overall better fragrance on its own, Hawaii Volcano or gorse ?
tracer073 I will get a Hawaii volcano in about a couple of days. It has to come through the Customs. Once I get it, I will compare them with each other.
Had a decant sample of 'Mancera' from reputable supplier and I was very disappointed- absolutely nothing like aventus, and smelt very metallic with an overpowering cedar wood ( I think??) base note. Might be just a bad sample or bad reaction with my skin? Really enjoy your vids- keep up the projection
Loved your list Dan. All top choices. One small correction: Perfume Parlour do ship sprays outside the UK. I live in Portugal and have no problem ordering from them.
From the FAQ page, last Question: Can Sprays Be Sent Abroad? Yes We Have Recently Started Sending Sprays Abroad. However Due To The Flammable Nature Of The Product, It Is Slightly Expensive, So The Rule Is The It Will Only Be Feasible To Send Sprays If The Order Value For Within Europe Is £40 (Including Discount And Excluding Postage) And £50 (Including Discount And Excluding Postage) For The Rest Of The World. An Added Restriction Is That For The Rest Of The World Is That We Cannot Send 50ml Bottles, Only 13ml And 30ml. Hope that helps Booger.
Great honest video Mr smelly as usual i really enjoy the passion you put into your work, got a few of the fragrances you have mentioned, and I know where to get a sample of gorse definitely going to be trying that one
Thanks Mr Smelly! That was just the kind kind of list I was looking for. A man can't live on Sauvage alone 😁. I'll definitely see what I can get samples of them on payday.
Hello, newly subscribed. LOVE your style. Great list, I own all but two of the 10 I do need to get my hands (& 👃) on both GORSE & Parfums Vintage. A gypsy hears good things...thanks for reminding me of some underappreciated gems I own (also in your brilliant list) and should show more love and skin time too. 🌈👋🌟😎✌ John (Gypsy Parfumista @ Fragrantica)
If you wanted a freshie that's long lasting *and* a cheapie, I'd go with Chrome Legend. I don't normally say this but you could probably blind buy it. No refromulation either so it still has its testicles intact.
Winter perfumes tend to be much heavier, stronger and sweeter which during the summer can be too overpowering and offensive. On the other hand summer fragrances are much lighter and can't stand up to the cold weather.
The citrus aroma-chemicals evaporate very quickly. There are longer lasting ones in more expensive perfumes but they can be cloying and aren't as fresh.
@The D'amato Shift, I know about it, but haven't tried it yet. How is it compared to the Truefitt & Hill West Indian Lime cologne ? Is it roughly the same scent ?
Lots of People claim Bvlgari Aqva Amara lasts pretty long (for a fresh one) but I have to say, not really! Don`t get me wrong, I love Aqva Amara, it`s a great n unique scent but the performance is bad! In high summer heat (25C plus) it disappears very very quickly! I usually wear it when I´m in Vietnam, and as you know, it`s pretty hot there and after about 30 minutes, it`s gone, completely! Nautica Voyage on the other hand lasts for hours on my skin!
#smellyarmy Neroli portefino reminds me of this bathroom spray i had, which smelt soo bad when sprayed after a shit. So unfortunatly bad experience i cant stand the stuff. Maybe its the neroli or white flowers i dont know.

Thanks Walter some great suggestions.
One of my fav summer frags that has beastly projection and longevity is Al Wisam Day by Rasasi, a SMW clone but with an added rose note.
Cedrat Boise ... OMG that citrus fresh with spices opening. And lasts for hours. Afterwards a beautiful sweet woody scent with a bit of leather. Best fragrance I ever had.

Gorse is awesome ......... great smell and projection and lasts for hours.....
Thanks John I agree.
I love Cedrat Boise. Essenza on me, starts of like a bright, french pressed soapy kind of scent. Very clean and bright. Great review, sir.
I have both cedrat boise and lemon line from mancera and for me though cedrat smells good but in terms longevity and fresheness lemon line beats it hands down i did strip test of these. The lemon scent stayed strong even the after 24 hrs
My favorite video!! Great list! Bought 2 bottles of Mancer cedrat boise and Gorse. Thank you
how is the performance ?
@@dzdz773 excellent perfomer!
A great selection, I love Essenza, Cedrat Boise and Icon. I really need to try some of these Dua clones you’ve recommeded. Enjoying your blog as well, keep up the great work.
Thanks very much MSW.
Hats off sir .... These list are almost unavailable in my location but I can definitely relate to it... I couldn't agree more with aqua amara, pineapple and mancera ... Spot on....
I agree with icon ..it really performs fantastically on me
Great Intro like always, Dan! Dunhill Icon has very great longevity with high dose of neroli and oakmoss. With 3 sprays I'll get easily 8-10 hrs. 👍🏼😎
Markus Uerschels dunhill is disgusting
I'll love my barnyard, longevity rules! 🍸🐴👌
Just got my Gorse yesterday thanks to you for recommendation to this fragrance. It’s really nice .
Hands down my favourite reviewer on TH-cam 👌🏼

John Varvatos Artisan Pure also lasts fairly long for a fresh fragrance
Cedrat Boise is certainly up there on my to try list and this has just made me want it even more. Nice list.
my fav fresh fragrance is dior dune men pour homme always gets compliment wearing it
Your great at the reviews.. respect.. personally I LOVE FAHRENHEIT.ORIGINAL EDT ( the perfum drab ) . YSL KUROS.. POLO ORIGINAL green bottle.. and some Givenchy I got in Dubai 2001..( theres a few but I cant bec precise... ) &SALVADOR DHALI ORIGINAL TO SHOCK EM ALL.. !!

I have Creed V.I.W, . . . nice Summer Freshie, but I'm not impressed with the longevity.
Thanks for sharing . . . . Cheers !

All of best is dior homme sport, with only 2, 3 sprays I get 10 hrs.in high indian heat.no other comes near to it.all u mentioned.
I love Gorse, but VIW is just a little bit better in my opinion. Cedrat Boise turns into a predominately leather scent on my skin, and not a particularly fresh one.
Essenza lasts forever, but I have to be in a certain mood for the soapiness. I much prefer Agua de Colonia Concentrada Barberia from Alvarez Gomez' shaving line
How do you rank these in terms of smell?
Nice list! Definitely goin to try out
Cedrat Boise is indeed a beast!! Projects for hours on me
I get the same experience. Thanks Chinensis.
Mr Smelly/ Dan what is your opinion of Rochas eau de Rochas homme in comparison to your pick of the original Eau Sauvage?
Love it. It’s brilliant. I bought it since making this video.
Bvlgari Aqua Amara Eau De Toilette Spray for Men, just awesome. I like it
Nice to watch your video as my Birthday is coming soon ))) great video
Gorse+ "Take the lime and the coconut"! There are about 3 outlets in the states now! Great list!!!
Scott Wilbur so you don't like it?
Great list Dan :)
I know the Sauvage description was just rattled through, but really, it’s all anyone has to say about it. So accurate!
So for the neroli portofinos you can get the sprays in the us but you have to spend a certain amount, I bought like 7 different clones and got them shipped to me but I spent almost 90$ us by the end of it so....
Ahh thanks Matt. I stand corrected. I will try and put a comment at the top about this subject.
Anyone know anything about Arlyn Paris Emerge Noir? Is it a clone of something?
I really enjoy the humorous video openings. I laugh at almost all of them. The information on the fragrances is good too.
Great choices, Dan! Thanks for the review.
Cedrat Boise...bought it after your review.
Love Cedrat Boise! Was my SOTD today actually. 😉
Excellent! I always love wearing it.
Mr. Smelly.. Thanks for the wonderful selection.
I blind bought Cedrat Boise based off a recommendation by you... I LOVE IT! can you make a top 5 video of your favorite Mancera fragrances? Thanks!! Great video.
Excellent selection as usual!
great fresh for hot tropical countries. long lasting.....this was a good video.
PP sends sprays international, wore Neroliz yesterday here in Germany. Really a good one!
Thanks Triple. Yeah the Neroliz is great.
how about Eau de Cartier Concentree ?
Where can I find a full bottle of that in the United States?
Really great list
How Laboratory Parfums are available in Europe and cant seem to find it?

Gorse is available at Liberty in the UK
Yes I know, but UK does not ship outside to Europe because of Royal Mail forbids it.
Have you smelled Mancera Sicily? I've seen very good reviews and opinions (really nice fresh scent, long lasting, etc..) but for some reason it's not on the hype train. Either way, I will receive a sample shortly and I'll see if I've discovered a gem or not hahah

Nice way to avoid the controversy! 😉

I got Gorse after your review on it last year. It’s not 100% identical to VIW, but it is very nice to my nose. Thanks.

do you have a source for dua fragrances and Gorse for the EU?
great video by the way!

Great selection!
#SmellyArmy #Power 😉
TERRIFIC list, my friend!👍👍
Loved your list Dan. All top choices.
One small correction: Perfume Parlour do ship sprays outside the UK. I live in Portugal and have no problem ordering from them.
I think they have restrictions on what size bottles they are willing to ship outside the UK?
No, no restriction, at least for the european union.
I'm just going by what their "postage costs" page says: PLEASE NOTE: SPRAYS CANNOT BE SENT ABROAD.
From the FAQ page, last Question:
Can Sprays Be Sent Abroad?
Yes We Have Recently Started Sending Sprays Abroad. However Due To The Flammable Nature Of The Product, It Is Slightly Expensive, So The Rule Is The It Will Only Be Feasible To Send Sprays If The Order Value For Within Europe Is £40 (Including Discount And Excluding Postage) And £50 (Including Discount And Excluding Postage) For The Rest Of The World. An Added Restriction Is That For The Rest Of The World Is That We Cannot Send 50ml Bottles, Only 13ml And 30ml.
Hope that helps Booger.
Thank you! I guess they should update the postage page...
Some nice fragrances on this list. Cedrat Boise is one I really like but do t own. Had a sample couple years ago.
✌🏻
So freshing to see a British guy wow hello from Australia, we are behind in fragrances
Nice list!
We don't get xerjoff in Australia
Fantastic list buddy those are fabulous scents that perform very well, thanks for not picking shitty smelling scents those are all crowd pleasers
Great honest video Mr smelly as usual i really enjoy the passion you put into your work, got a few of the fragrances you have mentioned, and I know where to get a sample of gorse definitely going to be trying that one
Thanks so much David. Let us know how you like it.
MrSmelly1977 will do Mr smelly
MrSmelly1977 hi there Mr smelly, just ordered the following samples gorse, dunhill, and sunshine man, been wanting to try the later for a while 😊
Thanks Mr Smelly! That was just the kind kind of list I was looking for. A man can't live on Sauvage alone 😁. I'll definitely see what I can get samples of them on payday.
Great choices as always Dan!
Thanks a lot Ryan!
Great list dan 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks a lot my friend.
Make a review on lacoste white please😇
You are one of the best reviewers Dan.
Hello, newly subscribed. LOVE your style. Great list, I own all but two of the 10 I do need to get my hands (& 👃) on both GORSE & Parfums Vintage. A gypsy hears good things...thanks for reminding me of some underappreciated gems I own (also in your brilliant list) and should show more love and skin time too. 🌈👋🌟😎✌ John (Gypsy Parfumista @ Fragrantica)
Very nice selection of fragrances here man, Cedrat Boise is one of my favorites. Great video!
Thanks very much Chaos. I’ve enjoyed watching some of your videos recently.
Gorse is excellent, definitely lasts longer than VIW like you say!
Ryan D what does it smell like
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne ?
I need to try that some more. Could be a good candidate. Thanks Karol.
If you wanted a freshie that's long lasting *and* a cheapie, I'd go with Chrome Legend.
I don't normally say this but you could probably blind buy it. No refromulation either so it still has its testicles intact.
Almost forgot: SOTD is JPG Ultra Male - batch made by BPI in France ;)
Love it!!
Cushty! Been wanting to smell Gorse . Now I know where I can get it over here in the land of burgers n doughnuts. 👍
Just one question for any expert who can answer: what is the objection to use winter perfumes in summer and vice versa?
Winter perfumes tend to be much heavier, stronger and sweeter which during the summer can be too overpowering and offensive. On the other hand summer fragrances are much lighter and can't stand up to the cold weather.
@@dimitarbahariev6708 So nice of you, Thanks
Is there a good explanation as to why citrus, like lime, fragrances do not last long ?
The citrus aroma-chemicals evaporate very quickly. There are longer lasting ones in more expensive perfumes but they can be cloying and aren't as fresh.
Thanks Anthony for the answer. I wish someone could invent some sort of substance that would help it last longer...
sure there are fixatives... see ambroxin, iso e super, synthetic musk
@The D'amato Shift, I know about it, but haven't tried it yet. How is it compared to the Truefitt & Hill West Indian Lime cologne ? Is it roughly the same scent ?
The D'amato Shift, I will check this out for sure mate. Thanks !
nice review
I hit like since I life Girl Butts Photos!
Thanks Heriberto that is a perfectly valid reason for liking a video!
You '"life girl buts"?
ryojinorion he meant girl’s butts are life
Because of the intro, I subscribed and liked the video.
Very good list. I put in there Aqua di gio Profumo
Well done 👍🏼
Great review..
Thanks a lot.
Nice subtle dig at a future self-proclaimed fragrance industry titan.
Thanks Davey. Just to be clear I do like Jeremy and his channel and was only poking fun at youtubers in general.
You just earned one subscriber from Nepal
Thanks Sherkhar. It’s great to have subscribers all over the world.
Lots of People claim Bvlgari Aqva Amara lasts pretty long (for a fresh one) but I have to say, not really! Don`t get me wrong, I love Aqva Amara, it`s a great n unique scent but the performance is bad! In high summer heat (25C plus) it disappears very very quickly! I usually wear it when I´m in Vietnam, and as you know, it`s pretty hot there and after about 30 minutes, it`s gone, completely! Nautica Voyage on the other hand lasts for hours on my skin!
Ish... to many -.. choices, choices... 👍🏼👍🏼
I was interested in Dunhill Icon, but didn't bother buying it as I read that recent batches were poor in longevity...reformulation?!
2017 batch?
As far as I know, a lot of frags were re-formulated in 2016 due to new laws regarding the usage of oakmoss...
Oh dear. I hope it hasn’t been reformulated.
Just skin chemistry...it doesn’t perform on me at all and own it since release
#smellyarmy Neroli portefino reminds me of this bathroom spray i had, which smelt soo bad when sprayed after a shit. So unfortunatly bad experience i cant stand the stuff. Maybe its the neroli or white flowers i dont know.
