Omar I’m curious, are you still a doctor alongside being a fragrance wizard? Your journey is incredibly inspiring, talk about following your passion 👏👏
I definitely agree that Instant Crush is a wonderful scent. I was overwhelmed by it at first, as it is VERY heavy on the saffron and I'm not a huge saffron fan. But as I gave it more chances and wore it more, it has veeeeery much grown on me. It's quite a unique scent, but at the same time no one is offended or put off by it.
I've bought Afnan Supremacy NOI, also Missoni wave, both are great value for money, I totally agree with your description of both! Wave will be ideal for warm weather and the gym, and supremacy anytime .....
Most reviewers suggest Afnan's Supremacy in Oud as the best clone of Oud for Greatness. I have it and it's really good although I've never smelled the Inito to compare. I also have Lattafa's Asad, the clone of Sauvage Elixier and a friend sent me a decant of Alexandria's Ete Sauvage Elixier, and both are very good clones. Great video!
@@Charlie-ly5sd I think they are both really good. The Alexandria lasts longer but for the price of the 30ml bottle you can get 100mls of Asad. So Asad is definitely the best buy. But honestly, they are both spectacular.
i own these and I'm not disappointed :) These are the best clones IMHO. 1-Lattafa Asad - savauge elixir (beast projection & long lasting) 2-Lattafa Fakhr - YSL EDP (weak-projection & not-lasting) 3-Lattafa AMBER & LEATHER / Afnan rare carbon - Ombre leather TF (weak-projection & moderate-lasting) 4-Afnan 9 PM - Ultramale JPG (beast projection & long lasting) 5-Afnan Supermacy - Aventus (moderate-projection & moderate-lasting) on my list : Lattafa Khamrah & oud for glory
Fantastic video. I have some of these and appreciate your insights. Carved Oud is just fantastic, super happy I have a bottle. I’ll be picking up Thameen Green Pearl this spring as well
I have Oud for Glory and love it. I have never smelled Oud for Greatness; however, I am not sure if it matters. I found what I like in Lataffa. The only issue is that I live in Florida and because it is so warm, I can only wear Oud for Glory a few times a year when we get an artic blast push this far south. Oh well...
Apparently Dua's The Tux is an outstanding clone of YSL Tuxedo, much closer than Rochas Moustache EDP. Have not tested it myself, but Cubaknow has a great video on it where he blindfolded his friend and tested that and a couple other clones on him.
9pm is a longer lasting and bwtter projecting ultramale With a fresher opening. I really like the pear in ultramale and in 9pm there is no pear but in the drydown 9pm smell very close, not the same but still very good. Its really heavy on the vanilla in the drydown (what i really like)
I got Sillage a couple of weeks ago, for me (at least on my skin), it's a blast of mainly rose/florals and then musk. Don't really get much of the citruses/black currant. That being said, still smells really nice and lasts for about 8 hours
Excellent video Omar !! Would L'aventure intense be worth it? I have heard it has much better projection than the original L'aventure. Love Missoni Wave BTW👌
I've been wearing Armaf Sillage to work all week as the temp here is around 50° during the day and drops off to mid 30s at night. Granted I'm layering it with molecule 01, I catch wiffs of it late in the evening around the 7 to 8hr mark. For the 1st 2 or 3hrs it has a nice 3ft bubble and comes a little closer afterwards but still lingers a bit as you walk by
@@pmpmane13 on me, about 5 to 10mins. It smelly generic at 1st. I guess that's the metallic smell. But after about 15mins or so, it blends and settles and more of the sweet floral starts to shine. It's very nice. I just wouldn't reach for it in high heat. Spring and fall mostly or a cool summer night. I think the ambroxan in it tones down the floral and sweetness some. It also makes it kind of unisex as well. If it wasn't for the ambroxan and slight green smell, I think it would be more feminine. I got my bottle for about 45usd when it 1st came out a few yrs ago. I don't wear it much but I've been wearing it all this week.
@@pmpmane13 I'll admit it grew on me. The warmer the weather, back off your sprays. It's a nice smelling scent. But Luke anything else, it's not for everybody. Water is the best thing for you and it's people who don't like to drink water lol.
Afnan 9pm is currently on notino for under £20. Khamrah was on there for around £30 too but sold out now. Both of mine arrived today and they smell amazing
I own Naxos, montblanc explorer and previously owned sauvage elixir but that one was too strong and cloying for me to wear. Bought Asad and I'm so pleased and like it more than sauvage. Grat video!
I bought Tres Nuit from Jomas, but all I get is a bubblegum scent from opening to dry down. I’m going to let it sit on the shelf for a while and hope it improves.
hey bro can you put all the fragrances you list into categories (summer, winter, office, date, versatility, all year round) as it really helps beginners like me in the fragrance?
Totally agree, don't know but it seems very animalic I don't know if that's oud or something else. People around me say that's good, but my nose tells otherwise. And what is important to me is how I feel, don't know if the original is the same.
@@bzpwhx Oud For Greatness is not the same. It is not medicinal like oud for glory. If you have the money, go for the original. If you don't, save up :)
I bought craze as I couldn't afford a bottle of pegasus and honestly every time i see it recommended I wonder if either my bottle is a fake or people haven't smelled craze. The Vanilla is so strong its sickening and its so overpowering my dog has a sneezing fit and wont come near me. It smells nothing like the pegasus samples I have.
Pegasus doesn't appear to get a lot of love from the community in general, but I love it. I have both Pegasus and Craze (both bought a couple of years ago), and I don't know if you just got part of a 'bad' batch, but my Craze is about 90-95%, it's very very close. Pegasus is a bit fresher, and a tiny bit more "elegant", and Craze does seem a little more vanilla-leaning, but not heavily so, and also I'd even go so far as to say that I probably prefer Craze once it turns to a skin scent. But then I probably like vanilla more than your dog, to be fair ;-)
Never smelled Creed Aventus but i bought Club de Nuit intense man limited Edition and it smell good, moderate projection and last at 8 to 10 hours on the skin
Hi, Omar. Are you planning on doing any videos on Initio's fragrances? Their fragrances, especially Side effect, has been highly praised by people like Aaron Terence Hughes
Hi, Omar. Heard anything about Thameen's Patiala? It's inspired by BR540, but it's less sweet and leans more masculine. lasts for the whole day on my skin with 1 spray, and an insane sillage
I have 8 Alexandria Fragrances perfumes, 6 clones and 2 original creation's. I totally agree with Omar about Hafez 1984 and 1981x, but Royal Equestrian no, maybe my skin is not for that perfume, idk, but I'm absolutely anosmic to that fragrance. I feel some apple on beginning and that's it, he's macerating already 3 months, but still nothing good. But I have another 2 clones that I love, first is Alexandria Fragrances Black Panther (Bvlgari Tygar clone) and Alexandria Fragrances Megatron (Orto Parisi Megamare) those 2 ar jus wow, so good, maybe longevity and sillage is not that good like Megamare original but it's amazing. And Alexandria Fragrances Zion is good as well like a fragrance, idk how far is from original Roja Elysium, but it's such a beautiful scent.
I have Oud 24 hours which is a great clone, though recently tried the newest Black Orchid (Parfum, in the gold bottle) and thought that was the smoothest and most masculine Black Orchid yet... actually wondering whether to stump up the money for a 50ml 🤔
New to the fragrance culture.. after watching videos and reading reviews blind bought (waiting delivery) Missoni P.H. Edp as my versatile blue scent. Would it be redundant if I blind buy the hyped Fakhar Black by Lattafa(Ysl edp clone) ? Which one is better ?
Another great video! A scent inspiration I haven’t really seen talked about that I love is called Marjan Silver by Afnan. It is very close to Bleu de Chanel Parfum. Especially in the dry down.
Scents that should be on the list are AFNAN Rare Carbon (TOM FORD Ombre Leather) DUNHILL icon Racing Red (VERSACE Eros Flame) AJMAL Kuro / PRADA Luna Rossa Carbon (DIOR Sauvage) RASASI Daarej (VALENTINO v pour homme) TED LAPIDUS Altamir (JPG Gaultier²)
L’Aventure Intense is probably the best Creed clone I’ve tried behind Parfums Vintage Emperor. Would recommend anyone to buy the intense version, can’t go wrong for the price point
Agreed, but I'll add that you shouldn't spend too much on it. I got mine for $35 when Jomashop had it in stock, but I've seen it over $50 on other sites.
Sorry but I think that's not what I smell. I own the Original, L'Aventure and club the nuit limited edition. No brain, the latest is a lot more potent and similar to the OG. L'AVENTURE has low projection and a lot nor citrus
Have you tried l'aventure intense? In my country I can only find the regular l'aventure but I would like to know how it compares to. I've watched reviewers saying the intense is a way better clone, whats your opinion? Cheers from Portugal!
Another great video champ! Thank you. This may be a reach but if you know of any good clones of LV: Ombré Nomad, Meteore, Afternoon Swim. Please for the love of God, let us know!
I have a lot actually and I’ll write it here Afnan tobacco rush - TF tobacco wood Afnan Rare carbon - TF ombre leather Afnan Incense - Amouage interlude Afnan Turathi Blue - Tygar Lattafa fakher black - YSL Y EDP
Alexandria fragrances sounds like a Great Brand. Affordable, high concentration fragrances. People says its high quality as well. Was going to purchase some, but They don’t ship to Norway where i live 😢
What about facconable fragrances? I was thinking of picking up Facconable Royal and Riveria but haven’t pulled the trigger. Heard they’re great, cheap fragrances.
I feel you missed here in the beginning. Off my skin Craze is sweet vanilla and lavender bomb. I’d rather wear Pegasus every time. Tres Nuit is just the fresh side of GIT completely missing the earthy aspects of GIT. Love, love Missoni Wave.
how does l'aventure compare to cdni edp? especially in terms of performance and sillage. My club de nuit bottle is running out and I really like it so I don't know if I should buy another or try l'aventure.
Recently purchased Missoni wave and I have to say it's close to allure homme sport in my opinion. I reach for club de nuit intense man edp more than I do my creed aventus
Actually if you want a good performing replacement for ultra male, go for (only when on 50% discount or more) Fragrance One Unisex. I know people hate JF, but it is a similar DNA (not a clone, but same vibe) and it PERFORMS.
Cool Water nowadays is nowhere close to GIT but the old one, that is the one that ran for all the 90's to mid-00's, was pretty close relatively speaking as an oakmoss bomb. Will buy Tres Nuit soon and check that because no frag has come close to old CW without spending hilarious amounts with Creed. Buying an old CW bottle still costs cheaper than GIT.
interesting that you did not mention laventure intense.. Dallas was amazed by it.. saying it is beast mode and all that.. maybe you dont have it and should buy it to compare..
how about the new armaf untold compared to rouge 540? I've heard they're similar (some say worse/better) but I have actually never smelt the real 540. I do like untold though.
No parfums vintage mention :/ their clones are good. It is not hard to get them to UK. I also had to pay taxes to get them in EU. I think you should try it, would love to hear your opinion
The one cologne that has gotten the most compliments is Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du Male...but its discontinued! Can anyone help me in locating a few bottles?
i was pretty hyped when i found out about alexandria frangrances today. but it kinda sucks that you can only order from their side and have to wait very long for your package to arrive. first i wanted Zion, but many say the performance sucks. i want one for the spring/summer, so maybe black panther? many say its really simple, maybe it does make it boring. whats ur guys experience with alexandria? im from germany but kinda afraid to order from them as you can only get it from their own english site from the UK, any problems could be a pain in the ass.
Probier mal Eclat. Alexandria/Dua ist nicht wirklich ne Option, da dich der Zoll mit der Einfuhrsteuer nochmal berauben wird. Bei Eclat würde ich auf nen 40% Sale warten und dann zuschlagen
@@gilfhunter42069 stimmt der zoll mischt da ja auch wieder mitseitdem die aus der eu sind. man UK und USA sind auch so die schlechtesten punkte von denen man versenden kann. allein die versandkosten sind vermutlich enorm. da steht auch das nur royal mail zuverlässig liefert, das ist den ihre express lieferung glaube ich. eclat sagt mir jetzt nicht wirklich zu und dua soll auch nicht so toll sein, schwache konzentionen/performance. alexandria sah echt gut aus aber da wartet man gewiss 1-2 wochen auf sein paket -.-"
Can anyone speak to how close Cremo Vintage Suede approaches TF Ombre Leather? 99% of the people you actually encounter in a day cannot discern Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Woman from Unisex Tom Ford Noir de Noir after dry down. I never thought I would wear a rose fragrance - but CDNIW smells expensive and is a crowd pleaser.
I am curious about this 540 and angel share.. reading about it both seem kind of feminine leading.. so sounds "dangerous" to buy the clones... I never smell any of them but started to see close of these 2 showing in all videos lately.. so I am curious about it
I recently got in a 150mil bottle of Club de Nui Intense Man Pure Parfum, however the smell is bizarre leaning toward gross. It has one, flat note- a strong, synthetic grassy metallic chemical smell that lasts for hours. I have a pretty varied collection at this point and most of the notes in CDNIM I have- I've smelled leather before (CH Men), I've smelled bergamot/citrus before (plenty), sweet, etc. but none of those notes that should be present are there. It's just this one, flat awful smell. I don't want to say "I don't get the hype" because I don't know if this is even close to what it should smell like. Has anyone else experienced this?
All clones are just "inspired by....." 😂. I'm not hating on them. Just stating the captions on some of their websites. I have a few in my collection. When I don't want to spend a fortune I either get clones or buy sample size bottles/decants of the original
All the vids I’ve seen on this clone are 5+ yrs old and done by frag reviewers I don’t really know and trust. Tom Ford Noir De Noir/ CLUB DE NUIT INTENSE WOMAN Any confirmations and opinions are welcomed
Salaam Doc, I am a Doctor as well ,and like you i have interest in fragrances...so i would like to get some advice from you about what to collect and what not to....Also I am planning to come to the UK after PLAB exam
Hi. Doctor here too. When you work in a medical practice you must go for more office friendly and A/C controlled environment friendly fragrances. Do not wear dark or clubbing scents that can either smell overpowering or juvenile or too casual. Your scent must make you smell elegant, friendly and yet confident at the same time. Good luck with your PLAB and your fragrance journey ✌️
@@shajiwahab Hi Doc! I’m also a M.D. Do you have ani suggestion of hospital friendly fragrances? I have nautica voyage and boss bottled but nothing else in mind…
@@mrxdu681 Sure Doc. There are so many out there. I'll only state the ones that got me compliments. For the summer go for Creed Aventus (or Armaf CDNIM if you are on a budget and don't want to spend too much). Other options are Roja Elysium, Parfums de Marley Percival, Nishane Hacivat, Chanel Bleu De Chanel EDP. Again these are expensive so you could just get some affordable ones like Mancera Cedrat Boise, Dunhill Icon or Terre d'hermes and Acqua di Gio Profumo which are really nice professional smelling fragrances. For the cooler months go for ones like Channel Platinum Egoiste, Roja Danger, Kajal Homme, Zaharoff Signature, Rochas Moustache EDP. Some cheaper options are Chopard Oud Malaki (don't be afraid of the Oud name. It's almost non existent), YSL Y EDP or Narcisso Rodriguez Blue Noir. Just a little tip. Go for Citrus and Lavender note based fragrances. They should smell fresh and classy. I'd always recommend TRY before you BUY. And if u feel u don't want to spend a lot on full bottles then buy from decant websites. Hope you like my recommendations. All the best
@@shajiwahab yeah of course I like all efforts you made for all these recommandations, thank you! I have a good collection and have terre d’hermes in my sight. I’m just hesitating between the OG edt, rasasi fattan (don’t know if reformulations killed it) or fakhar black (clone of Y edp, despite that I’m not a big fan of the Y’s ADN). I’m just scared to wear strong juices like cdnim (i have) or manceras…
@@mrxdu681 well I have Rasasi Fattan and it's definitely not as good as the OG. I'm considering buying the new Eau Givree version too. It's a light and airy version. You might like it too. Do try. Yes Y EDP is really strong. I don't use more than 2 sprays but I think so is Lattafa Fakhar (I plan to test it tomorrow). I don't think I'll buy it. Having both might be redundant.
Lataffa Assad is a great clone of Savauge Elixir. Cedrat Essence from Paris Corner a great clone of Cedrat Boise. Alhambra The Tux a great clone of YSL Tuxedo. Charuto Tobacco Vanille a great clone of TF Tobacco Vanille. Paris Corner Instant Crush a great clone of Mancera Super Crush.

How can I get you to review my fragrance collection in a shorts video?
Omar I’m curious, are you still a doctor alongside being a fragrance wizard? Your journey is incredibly inspiring, talk about following your passion 👏👏
I definitely agree that Instant Crush is a wonderful scent. I was overwhelmed by it at first, as it is VERY heavy on the saffron and I'm not a huge saffron fan. But as I gave it more chances and wore it more, it has veeeeery much grown on me. It's quite a unique scent, but at the same time no one is offended or put off by it.
have you tried Armaf Untold? seems like a very strong B540 dupe.
I've bought Afnan Supremacy NOI, also Missoni wave, both are great value for money, I totally agree with your description of both! Wave will be ideal for warm weather and the gym, and supremacy anytime .....
Most reviewers suggest Afnan's Supremacy in Oud as the best clone of Oud for Greatness. I have it and it's really good although I've never smelled the Inito to compare.

@@Charlie-ly5sd I haven't tried Urban Elixir but I hear it's very good.
@@Charlie-ly5sd armaf elixir is not a clone of dior elixir. alexandria elixir is one of the best sauvage elixir clone there is
i own these and I'm not disappointed :) These are the best clones IMHO.
1-Lattafa Asad - savauge elixir (beast projection & long lasting)
2-Lattafa Fakhr - YSL EDP (weak-projection & not-lasting)
3-Lattafa AMBER & LEATHER / Afnan rare carbon - Ombre leather TF (weak-projection & moderate-lasting)
4-Afnan 9 PM - Ultramale JPG (beast projection & long lasting)
5-Afnan Supermacy - Aventus (moderate-projection & moderate-lasting)
on my list : Lattafa Khamrah & oud for glory
Afnan 9PM is currently on Notino UK for £19.50 which is cheaper than Missoni Wave
Fantastic video. I have some of these and appreciate your insights. Carved Oud is just fantastic, super happy I have a bottle. I’ll be picking up Thameen Green Pearl this spring as well
Man im with you on all the Alexandria Fragrances. Especially Hafez 1984. That's what I wore today. That's an amazing fragrance
I have Oud for Glory and love it. I have never smelled Oud for Greatness; however, I am not sure if it matters. I found what I like in Lataffa. The only issue is that I live in Florida and because it is so warm, I can only wear Oud for Glory a few times a year when we get an artic blast push this far south. Oh well...

Apparently Dua's The Tux is an outstanding clone of YSL Tuxedo, much closer than Rochas Moustache EDP. Have not tested it myself, but Cubaknow has a great video on it where he blindfolded his friend and tested that and a couple other clones on him.
I own DUA and the original. 100% likewise
Dua tux is best tuxedo clone.
Sillage ,instant crush and wave are amazing i love them
9pm is a longer lasting and bwtter projecting ultramale With a fresher opening. I really like the pear in ultramale and in 9pm there is no pear but in the drydown 9pm smell very close, not the same but still very good.
Its really heavy on the vanilla in the drydown (what i really like)
I have read so many good reviews regarding 9pm, from users of it, so I have one on order, was sub 30 bucks, looking forward to it.
I got Sillage a couple of weeks ago, for me (at least on my skin), it's a blast of mainly rose/florals and then musk. Don't really get much of the citruses/black currant. That being said, still smells really nice and lasts for about 8 hours
Excellent video Omar !! Would L'aventure intense be worth it? I have heard it has much better projection than the original L'aventure. Love Missoni Wave BTW👌
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
One of the best videos from Omar lately!... 👍
nice video Omar....plz also make a fragrance house review of Riiffs Perfumes and Maison Alhambra......They also contain lots of clones as well
Just got lattafa ana abiyedh rouge and this honestly might be one of if not my favorite scent it smells soooo good

Have you tried Thameen carved oud yet? I bought it because of your continued suggestion . And it is excellent .
Milestone deserves a mention. Its like 99% Millesime Imperial but with very good performance.
Hey Omar you gotta check Dua’s rendition of Layton and for Naxos as well. They rendition of Layton is actually based off of the 2016 formulation.

oud for glory's opening made me nauseous. Not worth it, even if it is free.

You need to try the new Armaf Untold. Best BR540 clone
I have a lot actually and I’ll write it here
Afnan tobacco rush - TF tobacco wood
Afnan Rare carbon - TF ombre leather
Afnan Incense - Amouage interlude
Afnan Turathi Blue - Tygar
Lattafa fakher black - YSL Y EDP
Alexandria fragrances sounds like a Great Brand. Affordable, high concentration fragrances. People says its high quality as well. Was going to purchase some, but They don’t ship to Norway where i live 😢
What about facconable fragrances? I was thinking of picking up Facconable Royal and Riveria but haven’t pulled the trigger. Heard they’re great, cheap fragrances.
I feel you missed here in the beginning. Off my skin Craze is sweet vanilla and lavender bomb. I’d rather wear Pegasus every time. Tres Nuit is just the fresh side of GIT completely missing the earthy aspects of GIT. Love, love Missoni Wave.
how does l'aventure compare to cdni edp? especially in terms of performance and sillage. My club de nuit bottle is running out and I really like it so I don't know if I should buy another or try l'aventure.
Recently purchased Missoni wave and I have to say it's close to allure homme sport in my opinion. I reach for club de nuit intense man edp more than I do my creed aventus
Actually if you want a good performing replacement for ultra male, go for (only when on 50% discount or more) Fragrance One Unisex. I know people hate JF, but it is a similar DNA (not a clone, but same vibe) and it PERFORMS.
Omar, must try new UNTOLD by Armaf. It's very close to BR 540 with good performance and projection.
I like how you said at the end if the clone made the og redundant
Love how Mancera appears on this list as both a clone and something that is being cloned. Really goes to show the uniqueness of that niche house.
how does the Mancera instant crush compare to the Al Haramain Amber Oud Ruby? Been eyeing both and stuck on which to buy
Cool Water nowadays is nowhere close to GIT but the old one, that is the one that ran for all the 90's to mid-00's, was pretty close relatively speaking as an oakmoss bomb.
Will buy Tres Nuit soon and check that because no frag has come close to old CW without spending hilarious amounts with Creed. Buying an old CW bottle still costs cheaper than GIT.
interesting that you did not mention laventure intense.. Dallas was amazed by it.. saying it is beast mode and all that..
maybe you dont have it and should buy it to compare..
have armaf CDNIM and the new urban man elixir, love both. getting more armaf stuff :D
how about the new armaf untold compared to rouge 540? I've heard they're similar (some say worse/better) but I have actually never smelt the real 540. I do like untold though.
that red tabaco is 💣💣💥💥
For me the best clone of layton is al haramain detour noir i have tjem both and are very similar the only diference is the price of course
No parfums vintage mention :/ their clones are good. It is not hard to get them to UK. I also had to pay taxes to get them in EU. I think you should try it, would love to hear your opinion
The one cologne that has gotten the most compliments is Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du Male...but its discontinued! Can anyone help me in locating a few bottles?
i was pretty hyped when i found out about alexandria frangrances today.
but it kinda sucks that you can only order from their side and have to wait very long for your package to arrive.
first i wanted Zion, but many say the performance sucks.
i want one for the spring/summer, so maybe black panther? many say its really simple, maybe it does make it boring.
whats ur guys experience with alexandria?
im from germany but kinda afraid to order from them as you can only get it from their own english site from the UK, any problems could be a pain in the ass.
Probier mal Eclat. Alexandria/Dua ist nicht wirklich ne Option, da dich der Zoll mit der Einfuhrsteuer nochmal berauben wird. Bei Eclat würde ich auf nen 40% Sale warten und dann zuschlagen
@@gilfhunter42069 stimmt der zoll mischt da ja auch wieder mitseitdem die aus der eu sind.
man UK und USA sind auch so die schlechtesten punkte von denen man versenden kann. allein die versandkosten sind vermutlich enorm. da steht auch das nur royal mail zuverlässig liefert, das ist den ihre express lieferung glaube ich.
eclat sagt mir jetzt nicht wirklich zu und dua soll auch nicht so toll sein, schwache konzentionen/performance.
alexandria sah echt gut aus aber da wartet man gewiss 1-2 wochen auf sein paket -.-"
Finally someone who Reviews alexandria Fragrances
Today I was wearing afnan 9pm and wherever I go people was unusually friendly and smiley with me . I assume it’s the afnan
Can anyone speak to how close Cremo Vintage Suede approaches TF Ombre Leather? 99% of the people you actually encounter in a day cannot discern Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Woman from Unisex Tom Ford Noir de Noir after dry down. I never thought I would wear a rose fragrance - but CDNIW smells expensive and is a crowd pleaser.
@school of scent, Al haramain la’aventure is better quality and closer than CDNIM limited edited?
Al haramain la’aventure is the better than cdim LE
You need to try Club de Nuit Untold. It smell’s actually better than the OG. At least to my nose.
Could u do a comparison & review of Lataffa ofg AMETHYST vs INITIO ATOMIC ROSE
Asad is great... and missoni pour homme like someone mentioned..
have you checked out AB spirit millionare? It's a 1 million edt clone for about 15$, its soooo goood
Did u shoot this before the new armaf clone of BR540 came out?
Any idea if there's a good Chanel Antaeus clone? 🤔
You Definitely need to try Khamrah
Will do!
I am curious about this 540 and angel share.. reading about it both seem kind of feminine leading..
so sounds "dangerous" to buy the clones...
I never smell any of them but started to see close of these 2 showing in all videos lately.. so I am curious about it
Can send a link for dunhill desire red if not can you do a review
I bought the Afnan Modest Une (2022) as clone for Sauvage EDT, does anyone have any experiences with this?
Why havent i reviewed any fragrances from the company ALT. ? I feel like they have really good clones and theyre a company literally built for it.
Has anyone checked out Hawaii volcano by Alexandria fragrances. Apparently it's the best clone of virgin island water.
I recently got in a 150mil bottle of Club de Nui Intense Man Pure Parfum, however the smell is bizarre leaning toward gross. It has one, flat note- a strong, synthetic grassy metallic chemical smell that lasts for hours. I have a pretty varied collection at this point and most of the notes in CDNIM I have- I've smelled leather before (CH Men), I've smelled bergamot/citrus before (plenty), sweet, etc. but none of those notes that should be present are there. It's just this one, flat awful smell. I don't want to say "I don't get the hype" because I don't know if this is even close to what it should smell like. Has anyone else experienced this?
Try club the nuit limited edition. That's the way to go
Armaf sillage needs to be a clone of Xerjoff mefisto look at the note breakdown on fragranatica.
Tres nuit excellent
Armaf recently released a really good clone of BR 540. Forgot the name of the clone
Untold
Laventure is linear from beggining to the end. Aventus has 10/10 drydown, so how can we even consider it clone?
Laventure one of the BEST clone of Aventus to date, smooth and unnoticed syntic smell
@@engrsarh when you don't care about drydown - sure
I do prefer club the nuit limited edition to me far superior to L'Aventure
All clones are just "inspired by....." 😂. I'm not hating on them. Just stating the captions on some of their websites. I have a few in my collection. When I don't want to spend a fortune I either get clones or buy sample size bottles/decants of the original
Alexandria dark knight please
Oud is Great by Noya is better than Oud for Glory ! The smell it's more natural and long lasting.
All the vids I’ve seen on this clone are 5+ yrs old and done by frag reviewers I don’t really know and trust. Tom Ford Noir De Noir/ CLUB DE NUIT INTENSE WOMAN
Any confirmations and opinions are welcomed
Salaam Doc, I am a Doctor as well ,and like you i have interest in fragrances...so i would like to get some advice from you about what to collect and what not to....Also I am planning to come to the UK after PLAB exam
Hi. Doctor here too. When you work in a medical practice you must go for more office friendly and A/C controlled environment friendly fragrances. Do not wear dark or clubbing scents that can either smell overpowering or juvenile or too casual. Your scent must make you smell elegant, friendly and yet confident at the same time. Good luck with your PLAB and your fragrance journey ✌️
@@shajiwahab Hi Doc! I’m also a M.D.
Do you have ani suggestion of hospital friendly fragrances? I have nautica voyage and boss bottled but nothing else in mind…
@@mrxdu681 Sure Doc. There are so many out there. I'll only state the ones that got me compliments. For the summer go for Creed Aventus (or Armaf CDNIM if you are on a budget and don't want to spend too much). Other options are Roja Elysium, Parfums de Marley Percival, Nishane Hacivat, Chanel Bleu De Chanel EDP. Again these are expensive so you could just get some affordable ones like Mancera Cedrat Boise, Dunhill Icon or Terre d'hermes and Acqua di Gio Profumo which are really nice professional smelling fragrances. For the cooler months go for ones like Channel Platinum Egoiste, Roja Danger, Kajal Homme, Zaharoff Signature, Rochas Moustache EDP. Some cheaper options are Chopard Oud Malaki (don't be afraid of the Oud name. It's almost non existent), YSL Y EDP or Narcisso Rodriguez Blue Noir. Just a little tip. Go for Citrus and Lavender note based fragrances. They should smell fresh and classy. I'd always recommend TRY before you BUY. And if u feel u don't want to spend a lot on full bottles then buy from decant websites. Hope you like my recommendations. All the best
@@shajiwahab yeah of course I like all efforts you made for all these recommandations, thank you! I have a good collection and have terre d’hermes in my sight. I’m just hesitating between the OG edt, rasasi fattan (don’t know if reformulations killed it) or fakhar black (clone of Y edp, despite that I’m not a big fan of the Y’s ADN). I’m just scared to wear strong juices like cdnim (i have) or manceras…
@@mrxdu681 well I have Rasasi Fattan and it's definitely not as good as the OG. I'm considering buying the new Eau Givree version too. It's a light and airy version. You might like it too. Do try. Yes Y EDP is really strong. I don't use more than 2 sprays but I think so is Lattafa Fakhar (I plan to test it tomorrow). I don't think I'll buy it. Having both might be redundant.
Missoni is way better than it has a right to be considering how inexpensive it is.
Khamrah would be a flanker more than a clone. It’s lighter and very spicy.
Please make more clone video please😊
Lataffa Assad is a great clone of Savauge Elixir. Cedrat Essence from Paris Corner a great clone of Cedrat Boise. Alhambra The Tux a great clone of YSL Tuxedo. Charuto Tobacco Vanille a great clone of TF Tobacco Vanille. Paris Corner Instant Crush a great clone of Mancera Super Crush.
Have you tried the tux? How is the quality and how close is it to YSL ?
@tj k - It's right on spot. If a person doesn't see you put it on, they wouldn't know the difference.
@@glennthegodfatherdickens3315 thank you 🙂
