🐐
And so does the dammed commercial
The into waffle is too much.
Ily man
Too much yapping from these guys
Hype is real on this one. Got it in and wore the real Layton on one arm and the clone on the other. I can’t tell any significant difference. My son, whom is also in the hobby can’t tell a difference either.
Which last Better? If you want sell..i Will buy..in in italy
@@lorenzorossi2661vecchio compralo da google, prenditi il clone. Soldi spesi bene
Maybe this is actually Parfums de Marly trolling Al Haramain. They rip off their bottle, brand name, and then put the real Layton juice inside. 😂
I thought the same thing. What if liquid in this and Layton are exactly the same thing? Like this company somehow got a batch of it.
That would be both amazing and hilarious 😅😅😅
Maybe they are the same company with different target groups? 😲😉
Next level trolling
@@Zzzoooopppit's not al haramain
Rushing out yesterday morning, sprayed 4x. Got three compliments from strangers, which I rarely anticipate. It was really nice.
Hello,About what perfume you are talking about?Sirry for my English
Upon spritzing my newly acquired 60ml bottle of AOEB, I was amazed to find that its scent was 99.99% similar to Layton, which left me in a state of pleasant shock and wonder. Additionally, it ticks all the boxes when it comes to Layton OG (pre 82% reformulation), including high-quality ingredients, a long-lasting aroma, and powerful projection.
so even the projection and longevity is close?
It smells EXACTLY my 82% Layton, no Vicks Menthol smell tho. Performance is wayyyy better, but if I had to nitpick on smt, I would say this smells deeper than layton.
That amber oud exclusif bleu is a collector’s item. And a killer perfume.
I got it
I’ve owned this for quite sometime and I love it. One of the few clones I bought a backup bottle for. I love it.
how many sprays?
@@mobell7321 I typically do 12. 4 sprays on the left and right side of my neck and then 4 sprays on the back of my neck.
@mobell7321
5 bruh and not on chest
Very powerful
I was so skeptical at first but currently own a back up bottle even and am collecting the AOE line now. This is more surprising than the US Government saying Aliens exist honestly.
Have you gotten emerald yet?
You know, call me paranoid but I wouldn't spray something on my skin that has an unknown manufacturer. Our skin can absorb quimicals that end up in our system. Great review. Thank you!
It’s not an unknown manufacturer, it’s orientica and in Europe this is sold as orientica xclusif oud, but it’s packaged and branded as an Al Haramain (orientica’s sister brand) for sale in North America because it’s a better known brand here.
Just curious what a quimical is? Are you sure you know what you are talking about? Please do better if being critical , if you want us to believe your negative review, you should sound intelligent.
Thank you for this video. Other creators who reviewed this exact product just say it's Al Haramain when it's really not. This is why you're the man, Ash.
Hope to get your thoughts on the Amber Oud Tobacco Edition soon.
Actually he’s late, aromatix was the first to find this out
FragranceX even lists Exclusif as an Al Haramain product!! Uhhhhh, no.
Another amazing clone that is next to impossible to pick up in Australia 😂 . I purchased Layton last year anyways so at least I no longer need to go on this hunt!
😅 that is so true, I wonder why I kept on watching these American YTer. Cheap over there means expensive rare over here that if we can even get it locally. Oh well entertaining to watch…
Gday Col, you can pick it up on Catch but it’ll set you back $180 mate, not a cheapy over here
Same here in Germany. The only option is buying it in the US and paying the import taxes and shipping which pushes the price to $160/100ml. Pretty much not worth it, might as well go for the real thing then or buy decants.
I have both latest is A.O.E Bleu which smells a hair more refined. But I would repurchase D. Noir over A.O.E for my skin D.N. lasts longer with more sillage.
I'm quite new to fragcomm, and it really feels like i joined at the right time as a broke boi. These newer clones are insane!
Man this is so confusing! I never knew that there was an Amber Oud brand that is not Al-Haramain!
Do not be you are correct! Al Haramain make the Amber oud lines they also make detour noir their amber oud lines are just closer to the originals they are cloning with better concentration 👍🏾
@@daryltaylor4154de tour noir isnt better than this one. this one so much better quaity wise.. but sadly more expensive.
Make a video of:
Layton vs Dusk vs amber oud vs detour noir
Ok, so the first question that springs to mind (being a medicinal chemist by trade) is: if there is no website etc etc, then is this stuff safe to use? Like are you sure there are no harmful/carcinogenic chemicals used in the synthesis? I dunno man, I would be hesitant to buy such a thing.
I have OG Layton and I disappointed from the performance, so I just bought the xo blue by orientica, just like lyton but 10x stronger on the vanilla and the spice, not get as much menthol note like the OG Layton
I think amber oud exclusif is like exclusif oud by oriantica , they have this company before in 2021 and now they release this line by name xo
You can see orientica was register the name of the brand “ amber oud exclusif “ in 2021
And now they just release the same line like this..
Great video! I have to pick up a few of your recommendations especially the Paris corner since I'm a vetiver lover. The Rochas and Vintage Green sound great too. The 2 that interest me most are the Just Bergamot and Rochas for the giveaway.
Never ever have I ever searched for a theme song of a channel and then listened to it for 20+ times every single day when I need to really concentrate on stuff I'm working on. So, let me thank you, Ash, for one (if not the) best TH-cam channels' theme song. It rocks, you rock, through your channel, I think I've become a more powerful person for the information I've acquired listening to you, man!
whats the name
Giant's nets gogoa
If I was Al Haramain, I would create another brand and claim it has nothing to do with the company just so I can charge more.
I have detour noir, it is my favorite scent so far, i am waiting untill i empty it and go for this exclusiv bleu next time. i wonder what is better than my noir! i want to experience it.
Did you try the amber oud exclusif blue?
I have both al harmain detour noir as well as detour rouge , detour rouge is simply better i dont get the noir hypetrain
Loved to hear your opinion on Camara Contra Exquisite Latin Royal Edition Eau de Parfum. This stuff is a powerhouse and tho I can’t afford the original if this smells anything like Layton then PDM Layton is amazing.
Guys what are your toughts on valentino born in roma intense? Literally no one is talking about it…
i sprayed it on skin a hour ago, and it’s amazing! The fact no one is taking about it is great for me though hahaha love it
🤢👎🏻
Ash talked about it and others. It already had its review cycle
🔥🔥
smells like axe or something
Detour Noir is wonderful, almost my signature scent
I like it but it only lasts for 2-3 hours.
@@Sanity1234 what? I get almost 8h
I also get about 8 hours longetvity and 3 hours projection from it.
Mine smells like vicks mixed with little vanilla from start to finish
@@robinhood6781 yeah it smells like vick on the opening, but after 2h smells like vanilla
I picked this up a few weeks back. It's so well done, really great quality.
so even the projection and longevity is close?
I can't comment on the original as i've never smelt it, but exclusif bleu is beast mode on my skin. I get whiffs of it all day long and its smells beautiful and high quality all day. One of the best fragrances in my collection for sure.
I actually prefer AOEB to Layton. The menthol note of Layton has actually given me headaches before, and it's a touch milder in AOEB.
I bought Amber Oud (Harmain) - it's nice. Longevity is not that great. At least it was not expensive. I probably won't buy it again. I find Armani Code Parfum / Profumo does the job and gets me more compliments. Women I ask prefer the Armani as well (without knowing it's Armani at first).
My hunch is that Amber Oud Exclusif is to Haramain what Initio is to Parfums de Marly 😅
Somebody cloned the clone. It's the "Inception" of fragrances.
initio is a sibling brand of pdm tho, although supposedly demi rawling's f.i.l owns pdm-initio
Laugh all you want about those seals of authenticity on the clone boxes!
Ash… we need an official top 15 personal favorite fragrances for you
Al haramain has a better Layton clone then detour noir under their orientica line called royal Blue. It’s not a 1:1 it’s a twist but to me it performs better then Layton. It’s less spicy and has amped up apple and vanilla. I enjoyed it a lot. For some reason many fragrances don’t push off my skin but Royal Blue is the first one I ever had where I was getting strong whiffs of it a couple of hours later. I just ordered amber oud exclusif. Can’t wait to see how they compare
How is the longevity and does it have that menthol feeling ?
Orientica isn't Al Haramain...It is an UK brand under Coochanimusk
@@arsenensenda4024 oh ok for some reason it always comes up in my search window as Orientica by Al Haramain. But I never looked into if that’s actually factual or not so you may be right
I just bought the xo one from them and it’s even stronger!!! Amazing stuff!!❤
@@arsenensenda4024 no!
Al Haramain = Orientica ( exlusiv brand Al Haramain).
Wow I’m with jay bowie. Haven’t been into colognes for long time. Been wearing out these TH-cam videos and just ordered 6 colognes detour noir is on its way. Clone wars I can’t keep up.
Definitely intrigued by this, tried Layton on skin earlier today, great scent but it faded to a skin scent immediately, I’ve heard there’s been reformulations and it’s crazy expensive, Amber oud exclusif Bleu is just hard to find
You aren’t wrong. Layton lasts 2hrs max on my skin😂
hi sir, may I suggest that you review some clones of PDM Layton like 2 scents from a clone brand "Luxodor":
1. Loyal Agar
2. Dusk The Woods Collection
Just purchased this stuff about a month ago and have the OG Layton. I also have the detour Noir (DN) dupe and this one is definitely “better” in every way possible and very close to the OG. In fact…after dry down and especially to a non-wearer…ie, someone else in your vicinity…I could not tell the difference. Others on the market…most recently the north stag deux…but I’ll wait on that one until I get through this bottle.
Bro is the greatest yapper of all time holy man
Ash, one of the big discounters has M7. Every time I mention a specific website on these fragrance threads I seem to get moderated. You know where to look. You're welcome.
I just ordered Detour Noir and Al Harmain exclusif Blue I do have Contra Exquisite Latin Royal Edition and it's a clone of PDM Layton and it is not bad but I'm totally excited about getting both of them.
What’s the verdict
Thanks for the review and I've just order a bottle of Al Haramain Amber Oud Bleu today for my current
collection of Al Haramain's. And now I will have five fragrances in my collection, (Ruby- Gold- Tobacco- Carbon) Editions..
This is not the blue edition
I saw a review that says this is Xclusif Oud Bleu by Orientica but under different packaging. Something to look into
There is also another Product: AMBER OUD EXCLUSIF EMERALD
This is very confusing with the name. When you search for the Product, you even find listing with the AL Haramain name.
Hi Ash. Was snooping around looks like Amber Oud Exclusif has 4 different variations, Bleu, Sport, Classic, and Emerald. Would love to see a video on all of them. I also found a llc registration from Orientica Parfumes for Amber Oud Exclusif.
How do you find the llc registration?
Can I see it? I just buy xo blue from orientica
So what’s the difference between the two bottles. Are they both laytons clone?
Bro, you are hilarious. Great review as well. I appreciate it.
I think Dusk by The Woods Collection is a better dupe than Detour Noir. Less medicinal scent & opens up brighter.
yea i agree. But im trying and dying to find out which one is better between AOEB or the dusk by the woods collection. Cause i need to pick up a new scent for the winter.
Would like to see a comparison between Detour Noir, Costume National I (Italy) and Amber Oud Exclusif Blue
Hi Ash, Hello from Sweden just purchased Amber Oud Exclusif Blue for 80 USD it's not exacly a cheapie anymore, but it's very strong in the opening and comes off very gourmand on my skin like carmelized coffee! It reminded me of the same scent profile as my Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Limited Edition. I don't know if you've made that same distinction? I don't have Layton to compare it to but i really appreciate your input! Thanks brother great content 😊
even Walmart is selling amber oud exclusiv bleu as AlHarmin... 😂😂
Price per ml is almost the same as PDM on sale so why not just buy the real deal 😊 I have the real bottle
No kidding, not paying over $1 a ml for a clone from a clone company ripping off another clone company's name.
I have seen on fragrance X reviews of this fragrance where people who have bought it said it actually lasts and projects longer than original Layton, also saying smells richer and just better overall, so I guess if you wanted a better version than the original then price point could be warranted I guess
@@deanprendergast2981 i didnt see that in the reviews
You should def compare the Maison Alhambra PDM clones to the real thing
You know you have a problem when you have it before Ash. It lived up to the hype though. I still like my detour noir, although this is better
This is hard for me to conceptualize because Detour Noir already smells exactly like Layton and somehow lasts longer on me.
Is this one better than Layton?
Anyway, I’d like to enter into the giveaway.
Thank you for your stupendous content, Ash.
Yoo any updates? Im thinking of getting a bottle do detour noir but if this one smells better i would get it instead.
@@ilhanhashim1029 hadn’t smelled it yet
It is 98% close. Sprayed Layton then AOE Bleu and couldn’t tell a difference really. I would imagine that in the air it probably smells 1:1 because of how close it is to skin.
It's the 98% the same juice as detor. Save your money
I just don't smell the apple pie I I get from Layton when I blind bought Detour Noir.
The joke is... its no 80% 90% or 99% "like" layton, it is layton, because its taken from the same pdm oil manufacturer..
A rebottled layton, robin hood style
cant wait for the review for the other ones !!!
Ash have you tried Lataffa- Badee Al Oud - Amethyst yet? Rose and amber fragrance... I picked it up a few weeks ago and am very impressed, unisex frag, apparently a clone of Atomic Rose. Would love to see your thoughts on it in a review.
Honestly one of the best colognes I have smelled. I love rose. I tried a sample of zaharoff signiture Rosé and didnt like it much. But Amethyst is incredible. So cheap and still gives you everything a fragrance should.
Does it lean masculine or feminine?
Here in germany they want 99-180€ for the exklusive blue
I also live in Germany,... I am going to wait until it is more available. It is pretty hard to get now. I think that is what makes it so expensive. I think it we wait 4 months and buy it in July/August the price would have gone down( I HOPE)
Feel you
Ja, bei Sobelia kostet es 90€. Ich werde noch mein Détour Noir genießen :)
@@michaeldebree4870 hope to ;-)
@@ft3989 was für eine Preispolitik :-(
That's why I hate perfume influencers. On one video "this" is the best clone, next video "that" is the best clone...from the same person...
He literally explained why he changed his mind on Detour Noir.
Is this actually worth getting over real Layton though, at discounted prices?
Right just buy the 4.3 tester for $160-180
I was questioning the same thing but I bought this like 8 months ago and it's the best thing I ever did. I tested this next to my 15ml decant of actual Layton. After testing for days, this is better than Layton to my nose. Absolutely nuclear if sprayed 3+ times.
@@MKIVGTIVR6 this wasnt released 8 months ago it released like a month ago
@@NinjaKiller999 Negative. There are even TH-cam reviews from 8+ months ago. Just because you're favorite TH-camr didn't review it until now doesn't mean it didn't exist.
@@NinjaKiller999false
Just get to the point 🙈
FYI, exclusive is not part of the Al Haramain brand or company. And also the exclusive blue is in a true parfum concentration. Higher oil which is how true parfums last longer.
Exclusive is made by Orientica which is a subsidiary of Al Haramain, they also have a re-bottled version called Xclusif Oud bleu.
Love the channel, but this was a painful one to watch. Maybe next time you devote a special video to explain how different companies market their products?
Hey man. Do you keep your boxes?
Video starts at 8:00
Finally SOME ONE DOES A FULL ANALYSIS COMPARING LAYTON, after having a decant of Layton than ordering Royal Equestrian I thought I wanted to try the Detour but lately I’ve been planning to order Amber oud Bleu now I see. This Loyal Agar. I think Royal Equestrian can shut it down but I wonder what performance I’ll get with the Amber Oud Bleu excl
This is the best Layton Clone out there. The best. It's exactly the same as Layton
Better than Bharara Bleu and Loyal Agar?
@@KenS99 yes better than both, and I have both. It's identical to Layton
how is it in terms of projection and longevity ?
Just cracked it. Pretty close to Layton. Impressed
This video did not need to be 15 min long fam
This is exactly the same juice as Orientica xclusif oud blue. They just put it in another botlle with another name. Because they want to let people talk about it and sell more.
Amber oud exclusif or bharara bleu????
I can’t agree on everyone’s opinions for this one. Just made the purchase and I can’t understand the hype. If it really is like Layton, then I am grateful I didn’t waste my money on the original. There was no place locally that has small samples or has a tester, so this blind buy was disappointing.
Loving these clone wars, great for us customers
This is not the real clone wars he just steals content from smaller creators
@@M3M3D14 what are you even talking about
@@M3M3D14 what are you even talking about
@@thuggathuggababy search clone wars you’re welcome
@Gents Scents if I already have Detour Noir would it be redundant to get Exclusif Bleu?
Depends, do you need two similar fragrances?
The woods collection Dusk 60 euros 100 ml, costume national l, 55 euros 100 ml Layton 125ml 185 euros
Orientica ( marka Al Haramain) Xclusif Oud Extrait de Parfum Blue. Nr1 !!!!
The Wood Collection Dusk nr1 /nr2
So is it safe to spray on like how do you know if it’s not toxic?
Extremely confusing that FragranceX lists the Exclusif as a product of “Al Haramain.” I guess they fell for it too.
Well thats crazy... I always thought it was the same brand
Need to try this fragrance…
Thanks for the review, Ash. 🙏🏻
To cloners : Percival and Rive Gauche please.
The Amber Oud Exclusif line is made by Orientica.
Isn't orientica owned by Al haramin, (it's sub-brand)
@Mikaiyel Miah Yes, but if you look up who owns the trademark to Amber Oud Exclusif it's Orientica...for 2 years exactly today. Also, if you look at their Xclusif Oud line almost everything is the same even down to the juice being used.
Please tell me you will be reviewing the emerald one
Hey Ash,
Love the content. Keep it coming!
Which would you pick as a better clone for Layton. Amber Oud Exclusif Blue or Dusk from The Woods Collection?
Please do a review of Insurrection Palace Rouge. I can't find any info on it, or where to purchase it. The sample vial that came with my bottle of Insurrection II Wild is amazing!
Same here! The palace rouge sample was smooth as fk. I cant find any info on it. Its a mancera instant crush clone
@@therealest5695 nice! I take it you're familiar with Instant Crush
How xo xelosif oud of oreiantica compare to this?
If I have detour Noir is this worth getting ?
If you want the best. Just buy the real thing. It's also almost the same price. You can find 125ml Layton discounted with less than 150$
This is better
Do you like any ALT dupes, They have a PDM Layton dupe. Just wondering how theirs compare
Absolute garbage, don’t ever buy or mention that stuff here
Literally bought it while watching the video
Can anyone tell me, does this have a menthol note ? And how does the cardamom smell?
I hate the menthol note in it...sold my bottle because of it.
Where can i get it in the US?
because amazon has Al haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu .. and you said "its not al haramain"
Just curiousity, what would make your "doubtful" review from other doubtful reviews already posted 🤭
So this is where it gets even more confusing. Sefora uk, fragrance net both have this listed as made by al haramain im guessing its the same supplier (therfore same company). The price per ml is not far away from the pdm anyway?
Whoever this company is if they drop spot on clones then I'm all in
Amber Oud exclusif bleu is made by Haramain, the amber oud exclusif is like a subsidiary for Al Haramain. Same company so thats why the presentation is 99% the same.
Bro you are literally the colgen Wikipedia, thanks a lot
It’s so expensive in the UK? And it’s being advertised as Al Haramain. Can anyone link it anywhere??
Is the juice safe? has it been tested by any authority?
I don't think so, if not all, at least 90% of clone houses don't use the same regulations as others fragrances. But they all use the same manufacturer of raw materials, especially the ones from UAE
non-ifra = performance
Hey Ash,
Do you think that there is any truth to the rumors about that juice causing myocarditis?
If so, please tell us if Drakkar Noir really is an effective therapeutic!
