@Alritealritealrite ok fair enough, cause you are not wrong. If we had time stamps, I would pause the video, read his recommendations and move on to the next video.
Hey, a video explaining the whole aventus/ hacivat genre and all the various clones and their flankers would be really awesome owing to how few videos there are out there regarding the subject!
Those are the best videos, please keep going , waiting for lataffa , fragrance world and others , have you tried (optimystic ) black ? Great alternative of D&G the one EDP , I have it and it’s better than the OG , your fan for many years from Palestine
Great review of a fantastic line of budget bangers. My favorite fresh citrus: MA Toro (terre dhermes), favorite sweet vanilla: MA Kismet (YSL tuxedo), favorite leather: MA Afro Leather (Memo African Leather), favorite blue: MA victorioso legend (PR Invictus legend), favorite spicy tobacco MA Hercules (PDM herod).
It would be nice to get a buying guide of the French Avenue bottles like After Effect and all the other similar bottles. I’ve seen a white one and another that looks like Oud For Glory from Lattafa. I’ve seen many others from French Avenue but don’t know what they’re cloning and compare them to others from other clone houses
Great video as always! While the house of Lattafa/Maison Alhambra makes some fantastic fragrances, you should definitely check out Ahmed Al Maghribi fragrances. They're absolutely top-notch and, in my opinion, among the best in the business. Their creations are truly amazing and deserve more recognition!
I purchased a bottle of Kismet Magic due to the hype around it and completely agree with you. The best thing about it is that you can reapply it without having to worry about "wasting" too much money. Overall it's a pretty decent scent that smells like a craft store around the fall. Projection and longevity are mediocre at best from my experience.
@ I’d say more syrup than chocolate. I’m going to layer it with some Chocolate Greedy later today to see what happens. Thanks for the idea and reminding me that I have some laying around 🤣.
Would you recommend it for someone with a very basic taste (me😂) in fragrances? Just want something that smells decent, does it smell anything like vanilla?
I actually prefer the Kismet Angel version than the other clones that smell closer to Angel Share because Kismet Angel lacks the praline note which is too sweet for me
@@oudscuoHe's talking about Kismet Angel not Kismet. With that being said I get a chocolate smell from Kismet. I don't like the frag that much. It's not bad but it's meh.
Kismet Magic is great. I love it, aswell all the people around me. Smells way better than Khamrah wich is cloying sweet and way more feminine. Go for it, you wont regret it, if you like bozy, sweet, Gourmand scent.
I just got winsome (the tux) and it smells exactly same as KISMET.. but reviews say kismet is weak.. and the tux was the bomb.. strong.. now i feel I have the same fragrance on 2 bottles..
@@oudscuo The Tux (Windsom) has an extra umph to it than Moustache or Kismet. Haven't thought twice about purchasing the og. Tux is an Amazing scent! I get at least 2 compliments, from both genders every time I wear it.
Hey Ash, love your content. I saw you talking about Risala from Sterling. Please do some reviews of Risala perfumes of you have any. I have access to them I was skeptical about purchasing them because I haven't seen any reviews on them. Please and thank you
Kismet Angel is IMO the best clone of AS. It has that booziness that is kind of missing from the other interpretations. I'd chose it over Khamrah any day of the week
Hey does anyone have experience with Kismet Magic and Grandeur montage intense? I mean that if there is huge difference or they are both really close to the original?
Exclusif Tabac is a disappointment to me. The scent is nuclear strong, however, linear and unpolished. The opening is harsh and after 30 minutes there is all vanilla left.
I was looking for tabac for the longest 😂😂😂, I saw smoky and just thought it was something else. Can be got for a reasonable price too. A little under $40 after tax.
How do we know the clone houses doesn’t produce an original first and then the major players steal their idea and release it as an original. Just my thoughts 🤷🏾♂️
@ You’re right on the money. It was a cease and desist threat from Estee Lauder. I’m not sure why they changed the Dior clone bottles though. Probably didn’t want to land themselves in hot water with LVMH.

This has got to be a joke.

do you get a chocolateyness from it

@@skymustfall that combo sounds fire
Yup Choco greedy or ecos vanilla lotion. 🔥
Would you recommend it for someone with a very basic taste (me😂) in fragrances? Just want something that smells decent, does it smell anything like vanilla?
Exclusif Tabac was a blind buy about a year ago. Been trying to get a back up ever since.
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, Ash! 🤘
Ash, you da boss! 🔥
Thanks for the video Ash, super helpful. Happy Thanksgiving!
LOVE Porto Neroli in warm weather, Exclusif Tabac when it's cold
Please do Maison Alhambra L’Oudh, its supposed to be a clone of Dior Ispahan but I think it clones Monbeau La Patron so much better!
Happy Turkey Day Ash! Sotd: Leau D'issey Noir Ambre

Really what a Timing, Thanks a lot Love from India ❤😊
I don’t know if you get them in the US but you should do a Zara fragrance haul 😊 my favourite from Zara is Imperial Purple with the Iris notes
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
You say you're going to try them on every video. You better be out there trying them and not capping.
I just got winsome (the tux) and it smells exactly same as KISMET..
but reviews say kismet is weak.. and the tux was the bomb.. strong..
now i feel I have the same fragrance on 2 bottles..
but which one is stronger to you
@ to be honest it seems the same
I don’t feel tux is stronger..
maybe after maturation for months?
I just got it a week ago
@@oudscuo The Tux (Windsom) has an extra umph to it than Moustache or Kismet. Haven't thought twice about purchasing the og. Tux is an Amazing scent!

You got played
Suits is better
hey ash please tell the ones which are the highest quality of all at the end just for us as what you tell is 99.99% accurate

Not even close cocktail is closer and royal blend is the best quality
@kenmastersmaster
Nah, get your nose checked.
@@Feemy nah, keep wearing the cheapest. You got what you paid for 🤷
@kenmastersmaster
Better than anything you own. And FYI I got the earliest formulation, so jokes on you mate. Enjoy your inferior frag.
OK byeeeeee!
@@Feemy sorry I don't speak section 8. Go play with your cheap dupe and keep pretending it's Royal blend or angel share with your 2ml sample
Ash, please consider reviewing the new Valentino Niche collection. Specially Sogno In Rosso
why did you not include dark door intense in there?
Happy turkey day everyone. Unfortunately I have to work so I'm gonna miss dinner
Have someone drop you off some food! Gotta eat.
Enjoy the Leftovers
Happy one 🥳
Hope you get something. I didn't have Thanksgiving dinner either. I was supposed to go to work, but I was sick.
Get that holiday pay you ain't missing nothing
Hey ash have you tried Baroque satin Oud ? Really amazing projection is great n also lasts really long!
Such a great house! ❤
Man you need to try Sceptre Malachite and Sceptre Oceana
Tabac has excellent performance, love it's smell
Mugler Cologne (Come Together) is great!
Do you have any Louis Vuitton frags? Don't remember seeing you ever review them.
Flavia si part on Sterling too!
Great video 👍🏼
I recently bought lattafa's ejaazi.
Have you ever tried it?
Ejazi silver?
Blue electric clone?
@markmywords82 no brother, the regular one
I hope you all smell your best on this holiday! Happy thanksgiving to all.
All the maisons I have smell accurate but all of them are 3-4 hours longevity max with no projection
i have alpine homme sport and jorge di profumo would recomend, not 10/10, but solid
Why no Forbidden Love or Coral Blush? Aka Lost Cherry and bitter peach.
is oud wonder also the same as woody oud? same bottles
no different mason alhumbra and fragrance world are different
Are there any Le Beau Paradise Garden clones?
Smoky (Tabac) is AMAZING!!
What about pure lucky? Its always sold out
Hey does anyone have experience with Kismet Magic and Grandeur montage intense? I mean that if there is huge difference or they are both really close to the original?
Maison Alhambra Winsome or Fragrance World Suits to get close to YSL Tuxedo?
Suits
Exclusif Tabac is a disappointment to me. The scent is nuclear strong, however, linear and unpolished. The opening is harsh and after 30 minutes there is all vanilla left.
exlusive tabac is awesome and the perfomance is crazy stay for days in the clothes
Mine is coming in few days
Is Tabac a beast mode fragrance?
Yes it is very polarising
@ sorry, what do you mean by that? Don’t understand please
which is better the tux(winsome) or paris corner rifaaquat adorn?
The Tux the beast 🔥
Did someone know what is official website for Maison Alhambra?
Hi mate can you please do a rivews on Arron terrence huge fregrance as i know that you the only person haven't rivew his fregrance thanks
If you want a clone of legend intense…. Get armaf derby clubhouse gold
I was looking for tabac for the longest 😂😂😂, I saw smoky and just thought it was something else. Can be got for a reasonable price too. A little under $40 after tax.
Victorioso Legend/Myth is also fantastic
How do we know the clone houses doesn’t produce an original first and then the major players steal their idea and release it as an original. Just my thoughts 🤷🏾♂️
yu slow 4ss nga
It does happen , lattafa had Ragbha wood intense when they weren't famous , the dna ended up being the dna which would be used in By the fireplace
Because they always come out after...?
Hawas was before invictus 2016.
Your Predictions for next year ...??? Asad lattafa redux..??? Designer and Niche houses stepping up their game...???
kismet angel to me smells like an apple strudel with hint of chocolate and brown liquor 🥃
Not really surprised Lattafa got sued 🤣
I don't believe they were, pretty sure the changes are being made due to the threat of being sued.
@ You’re right on the money. It was a cease and desist threat from Estee Lauder. I’m not sure why they changed the Dior clone bottles though. Probably didn’t want to land themselves in hot water with LVMH.
Victorioso nero is not an identical clones. Too much citrus not enough vanilla or tonka
Also smoky does smell smoky
El mejor es Maison Alhambra Domino essence 05
Kismet Magic ma fatalną trwałość i zupełnie przegrywa z Lattafa Khamrah która bije go x10
DARK AOUD, i got it, also very poor peformance, last about 1-h on the skin
Ash please checkout Jean Lowe Azzure! Its similar to lv afternoon swim and please compare it with immortel! Love your content:)
Kismet Magic >>>> any Khamrah
It's not even close. the quality and the accuracy is much better
I have Perseus from maison alhambra & I see a caravan wagon carriage every time I see it 😂
Gotta bottle of that og Tabac if anyone is looking!
How much?
I hear Winson & the tux are not identical
Time stamps! We want time stamps!!!
Happy Turkey Day!
so, which are the best then? as your title suggests
"What they are clones of" is a dangling participle. Try "what they are cloning." 😉
Extra review over one million elixir clone and le male elixir
Free t-shirt?
We need jpg clones! Especially le male elixir!
The King
What about fragrance World presentation hahah
FTA
surprised "Yeah" wasn't on here haha

QUALITY!!!😱
Now do Ajmal
👍
It's Al Hambrah not La Hambrah
👍👍™️
christmas on a budget
Your prices are waaaay off the real prices.
Zimaya Cult is a better JPD Le Beau Le Parfum than Glacier Bold
Tabac is 🤮🤮🤮
😂😂😂😂, same...
That how I feel and I don't understand wat nice about it
first
give him a fragrance Ash.
Last
Best Alhambra? Amberley Pure Oud. Period.
do you know what its supposed to be cloning
Ethnic Oud is the best. Dupes interlude man from Amouage
@ you like it more than reflection man dna? im thinking getting a reflection man clone but if interlude/clones smell better ill get that also/instead
@ interlude/ethnic Oud have that oregano note that either makes it or break it. I love both. Ethnic Oud is a great perfume.
@@oudscuocompletely different scents. Get reflection man if you want it 😊
You make those videos too long dude this should be 10 min max!!
