Ash, could you review more of the Sapil clone fragrances? I just bought Bound for my boyfriend after this video and let me tell you - I've got him Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage and Bad Boy and nothing performs like this beast! Insane performance for the price since I cant find Armani Code Profumo anywhere for a decent price. Thanks for your recommendation!
For $17 from Jomashop (July purchase), this is a great deal. Exactly the same? No, of course not but it's close-- but it smells and wears like it should cost more. A lot more. Done and done. Picked it up after watching your review. Thanks.
Thank you and I've ordered this one and can't wait till it arrives. I've been able to spoil myself but because of financial situations relating to medical issues. I've been really searching for those clones that smell more expensive than they are.
I bought 110ml of code profumo in 2018 because of jeremy who overhyped this to the sky, 2 weeks later he said it was boring, unsubscribed that clown since then,
I bought the product and I am extremely happy with the outcome/staying power it has. That said, not only with this bottle but with others, you guys should make sure you add shipping cost...not to mention tax (unless it's Canadian seller) to the mix. Your price is about $17 which is a great buy!!
UK grey market seems to work differently to the US. We can usually find stuff you guys find really difficult to find with regularity and at regular prices, but our prices just seem like 20% higher across the board 😭
lol I literally just got Sapil Intense the other day. Never heard of it, but needed a super cheap frag to get me free shipping. It basically smells like an Invictus twist. It isn't bad, but smells kind of cheap. I think it would be amazing for teenagers tho
Just got this in the mail today, and I had ta rush back over here to comment on the simple little fact that this stuff is AMAZING @ the price it sells for! I think I actually prefer this over the Profumo., sapil bound feels less fizzy /sparkly than Profumo with a hint more vanilla . I like it allot! U da Man ASH !! 💯✈️ gent scents is soaring to new heights!! Much 🫶 Sir brosniffington!!
I have 3 Sapil they are monster performers the Aventis clone Invictus clone spot on monster preformers same price point I have of 300 bottles of colonge I know what I’m talking about
Smelling this from the bottle and the initial opening within 3 mins, nose close to skin, is absolutely disgusting, almost like pure cedar wood and brutally strong, but in the air however, smells absolutely and I mean absolutely divine, almost chocolatey, after about 30 mins on skin it then becomes great, chocolatey almost, and lasts for an extremely long time (10+ hr), clothes is days.
Sorry, my question is not related to this specific cologne. My favorite cologne is Dark Rebel from John Varvatos, and it's discontinued. Does anyone know if there is a cologne that smells similar? Thank you
Have you smelled "Copper Black" by Kenneth Cole. It smells extremely close to Code Profumo. The bottle even looks like the Code bottle. It just doesn't have great performance.
I found the performance with Copper Black really improved greatly with about 12 sprays. Some fragrances are so weak that you can try 25 sprays and it won't improve the performance but with Copper Black, more sprays were the answer.
I m asking myself the same question. I have Hayaati gold elixir i adore it. But he has a way more fruity peach vibes it s a twist on Code Profumo. It s very noticeable. It s like Code profumo with fruits.
I ended up getting this Sapil bound, but I ended up selling it. Hayaati gold elixir smells better than sapil. Leather on sapil is more pronounced than Hayaati, didn’t like it much. Hayaati is better balanced.
Sad they are pulling the plug. I know it won't be long you want be able to get absolu anymore. I got a bottle last weekend for 47 dollars at ulta beauty. I was so happy I got backup now
Just received Sapil Bound. 15 mins later and it so far smells like synthetic *ss. There were a few recommendations for it. I hope it gets better. It smells as if cloves were liquified with plastic, and some terrible idfk.. I get none of the notes, it’s just a wash of synthetic. I’ve never smelled Profumo and bought Sapil to get an idea. 🤢will be putting this in my Super Screetch box.
@@cleanprofumo5651 Da gebe ich dir recht :D From what I can tell about the latest batches’ performance (mine is from late 22), it’s not worth its price at all. If you’re okay with the weak s/h, look out for the clone from Lattafa/Maison Alhambra which is way cheaper
@@cleanprofumo5651I m in France and I have AdG profumo 75 ml + a refill spray of 20 ml. I bought it at Sephora couple years ago. Almost full. I harldy used it..
Hello sir, This is Ameer, a huge fan of you and a guy who wants to make his own perfume brand 😃 And I really need your help with some questions 🌷 How much is the average cost to start a perfume brand ( from 3 fragrances ) ? Is it possible to make the perfume without a perfumer's help? I mean mixing the oil and the raw meterials by myself Huge thanks and I’m waiting for your response 🌷 Best Regards. Ameer
Ash described it on the point but let me add this: The atomizer is much worse than he has described it 😂 it is the worst atomizer in my collection (I have over 50 clones)
They need to focus on cloning discontinued fragrances, would be amazing to have a bunch to smell again.
Clones house should do more and more discontinued fragrances dupes
Yeah, I loved DK Fuel, which is long gone and nothing like it out there.
like Gaultier 2.. excellent fragrance.. I still have a bottle with about 15ml that I've kept since 2010
The worst thing about this is trying to convince Amazon that you don't want a spiral bound notebook.
HAHAHAHAHAH
First world problems. Haha happened to me on Amazon
😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What’s the projection like on Spiral Bound Notebook? Is it beast mode?
Sapil is under Swiss Arabian Perfume Group
This stuff is amazing. Just ordered my third backup bottle you can still smell this on yourself the next morning easily and it smells fantastic.
I’ve had that for the last few years! Performs great and has a nice price! Great review, Ash!

Clown, completely agree 👍
Why is ur profile him
@@CyclesSomething it´s a picture back when he was funny
In what video did he say it was boring
@@trytoneee in a vídeo few weeks later when he said profumo was the best frag ever
sapil is under the house of Swiss Arabian..I have one sapil frag called sapil solid & its also a solid fresh cheapie..performs great too
man that's my signature fragrance back then.... nostalgic
My bound just came in and it smells amazing. Thanks for your review
Never had Code profumo but just picked this up. Wow.
I like sweeter type colognes this is great.
I first saw a Sapil fragrance in Ross a few days ago. Sapil intense. Smelled great. Now I'm seeing this video. I might be getting this.
Have you try disclosure by sapil the green bottle is a clone of vintage fahrenheit
I could not pass up on a cheap deal. I love just about all the Codes, so I had to check out this clone. 👍🏾
My armani code absolu is almost empty and I really need an alternative now its discontinued. My favourite fall / winter wear

I've made this my signature scent. 😊
We need a Armani Code Absolu alternative! It surprise me that there's no clones of a very loved fragrance in the community like Code Absolu
Absolu smells just like Ferragamo Uomo to me. For much less. And Uomo lasts a day and PROJECTS.
@@1011skarn Thank you, that reminds me....I need to pick up a bottle of F-Uomo this week.
@@1011skarntotally different fragrances! Not similar at all...
Found anything?
Apparently, it's time EDP by Bruce Buffer is an absolu clone
I just ordered it, thanks!
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
7:28 the music was layered on top of the already playing track 😢
Don't let it happen again
Just picked up the gift set ( 100ml edt and 150 mL spray deodorant) for $16.99 at a Macy's Backstage.
UK grey market seems to work differently to the US. We can usually find stuff you guys find really difficult to find with regularity and at regular prices, but our prices just seem like 20% higher across the board 😭
With that, did you consider that US prices don't have the VAT included yet, while in many other countries that would already be the case?
@@btkzooi ah true I did not, but I still think our suff would work out slightly mpre expensive
In uk there are lot of people who have families in dubai and they bring alot of perfumes that way and sell them in grocery stores 😂and ebay
lol I literally just got Sapil Intense the other day. Never heard of it, but needed a super cheap frag to get me free shipping. It basically smells like an Invictus twist. It isn't bad, but smells kind of cheap. I think it would be amazing for teenagers tho
Def getting this. Anybody know what that other Sapil fragrance smells like? The EDT Intense?
Sapil Intense EDT is an Azzaro Wanted EDT clone. There's also Sapil Intense Noir, essentially an Aventus/Explorer type fragrance.
@@beesmile8392 Awesome, thanks!!
Price tag on E-bay of this one and absolut Gold, Colonia Amarni , Sport has gone through the roof
As an avid Profumo enjoyer despite the hate it gets ( for some reason) I will certainly be getting this.
How's it?
Did you get the sapil ?
Great find Ash!
sir do you know a best clone of Armani Code Parfum?

Would it be redundant to get this one if I own Lattafa hayaati gold elixir?. Do they smell very similar?.
I m asking myself the same question. I have Hayaati gold elixir i adore it. But he has a way more fruity peach vibes it s a twist on Code Profumo. It s very noticeable.
It s like Code profumo with fruits.
I ended up getting this Sapil bound, but I ended up selling it.
Hayaati gold elixir smells better than sapil. Leather on sapil is more pronounced than Hayaati, didn’t like it much. Hayaati is better balanced.
@Yovanny0390 really Sapil is not close from the Og ans it smell synthetic?!
Hum i m surprise...
Hayaati smells better quality in my opinion.
Sapil isn’t bad and i dont know how close it is to Profumo, but Hayaati is a better scent in my opinion.
I hope you review Bruce Buffer “It’s Time” . Best Code Absolu clone I’ve smelled. $50 and fire!!
A quality cap is the most important thing in a fragrance
I’ve had this for a while. Didn’t know it was clone. Been wearing it in the evening, while out… 🥂
I have Profumo, and I love it
Excellent. Thanx brother. Blessings.
Just found it at Macy's Backstage with deodorant spray for $16.99.
Sad they are pulling the plug. I know it won't be long you want be able to get absolu anymore. I got a bottle last weekend for 47 dollars at ulta beauty. I was so happy I got backup now
I just saw another review that said that it's just 20% similar maximum
Which review??
Sapil is a branch of Swiss Arabian.✅
does it last long as original or does it last at last 5-6 hours?
@GentsScents do you know of any quality clones of Gio Profumo?
We don’t care about how cheap the cap feels as long as it fits snug
I think they gonna re release it in the new bottles. Hopefully.
Will be gutted if they dont re release it!😢
The EDP version is even better Ash, still a cheap clone of profumo, but hey the price is to get over.
£11 full presentation in UK

What about code absolu?
I believe it's pronounced "Sap-ill".
Had a few of these while I lived in the Middle East.
Great value for money, imo.
Ebay sellers are already price gouging...
I have a feeling they’re going to repackage Code Profumo later on. Then slap a “new release” tag on that sucker. Only time will tell
Sapil : side kick Swiss Arabian (really!)
Please try sapil solid best of the best in sapil
Way too sweet. Needs to move the leather notes way more forward, and the Cotton Candy smell way farther to the rear.
Mirada Surf Code is a Beast mode dupe that is closer to the OG
People said is a very weak perfomer. Absolutely not beast mode. However very accurate to the OG.
Ash do a review of Mercedes Benz for men please and thank you
Ash described it on the point but let me add this: The atomizer is much worse than he has described it 😂 it is the worst atomizer in my collection (I have over 50 clones)
I just buy it for 13€ full presentation
picked up for 10€ here at Notino,last one
Oh its you who took the last one, now I had to pay twice as much as you😂
@@ronnie5329 loooool
I hope someone makes a clone of code absolu🙌
Harmony code absolute
@@notPR1MO where can you find it? I can’t find any American or Canadian websites. Or on eBay
This has NOTHING to do with profumo
"Code profumo"
I have rave for men... and it's a little less than ok. 😂
On me Bound lasts way longer than Profumo😂
Does it smell the same
@@Aitwarya About 70%
Wow, this is £11.50 for 100ml!
😂I've just seen that aswell, brought it straight, who cares if it's not that great at that price
@@kes9684 and that's one of the more expensive Sapil fragrances on Notino 🤣🤣🤣
How did you buy it to UK because when I pick shipping to here it says no shipping methods were found??
The new luna rossa ocean edp's drydown smells just like code profumo. Thank me later!
No offense don’t see tht tho.

👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍
🤘
Getting so sick of these clones
A few years too late as the Code Profumo hype train left the station in 2018 but better late than never I guess
❤✋️❤️👍
One of the worst perfumes ever
1st
No !
Hi Ash, great review as always! Please check your emails regarding a video editor for your channel, I'd love to collaborate!
😎
For 13 dollars
Mirada code surf is better
Ash, my man you have like a super thick nose hair sticking out there man on your right nostril that thing looks like a coax cable
Im sorry but Sapil Bound is terrible. Way too loud and synthetic. Just smells like a rootbeer candy.
