Your clone fragrance videos are fantastic! The quality is top-notch, and they've helped me save quite a bit of money. Please keep up the great work it's truly appreciated!
Why everyone hating for making a clone video? He posts multiple times a week and the last few were new designer releases and not to mention the niche house irl videos. Personally, I think he's my fave out of all the fragrance influencers right now.
@nh9036 if you're watching any content that revolves around reviewing or giving opinions on any kind of product (fragrance or not) and you don't expect some level of bias, then why even watch it.
Because clones are garbage, if you are buying a clone because you can’t afford the real thing that is fine and understandable. But no, they don’t compare to the authentic fragrance most people know this and the TH-camrs that recommend clones know this. I saw someone on a video saying that CDIM smells better than Aventus, obviously must be some sort of sponsored content because CDIM smells like absolute crap.
@luism8130 there are plenty of designer/niche releases that are absolute crap and there are clone houses that do an insane job for the money. It's all relative. You're acting like the average Joe can just casually buy an entire collection of fragrances. If they like a certain profile and can get that for less money and have more variety in their collection, so be it. That's why it's nice when they review the good clones, so people know which ones are worth looking into out of the vast amount of them. Not to mention it's not like you can go to a store most of the time and test them.
I feel like he’s turning into another curly fragrance in that he’s so obviously being sponsored by these middle eastern brands that it’s gonna take over every video on the channel
@@Shadow-ls9ls I understand that and I can’t knock a man’s hustle. But he’s gonna end up driving off his core fan base just for a quick buck. This isn’t what I started watching his videos for and I’m sure others can agree with that.
Man robes08 was right about these fragrance reviewers. They all lose every sense of originality, honesty, and genuine taste as soon as they get their hands on a sponsorship. I used to enjoy School of Scents when his content wasn't as sponsored. He had a lot of blunt and real takes that I agreed with, and I could tell that the fragrances he recommended were actually special to him. It's a shame what money can do to people.
Hi Omar, you mention you like L'immensite more than Imagination, and I agree, it is better, but is there any dupe other than jean Lowe Immortel that would be great that is close to L'immensite? Can't really justify paying over $350 for a full bottle.
Anyone here sniffed creed absolute and preciux I ? Are they 90% similar? Cause when I sniffed them i found preciux to be fruity but creed absolute wasn’t and didn’t really feel similar.
Hi Omar, fan of the channel for a while now! I’m really glad to see you have sponsors to continue doing this youtube channel, but I do wish you would promote these scents less. Simply promoting them because they are paying you to is really jarring since I first was attracted to this channel because you recommended affordable fragrances but also were genuine about them. These recommendations do not feel the same way, and the reviews on some of these fragrances is concerning. Will continue to support, but hopefully you change content soon for the better ❤
I'm not sure if I got a dodgy bottle of Detour Noir but I had to scrub it off. I love Layton but I found Detour Noir to be extremely cloying. (Unless it's just my bottle)
I don't know why everyone is upset about clone videos. I don't wear clones much unless the original is hard to get so I didn't watch this video. But I'm not upset that Omar makes an occasional video that doesn't pertain to me.
Stop reading the notes on fragrantica please there wrong most of the time 😅. I've not been impressed with the 20 or so middle Eastern fragrances I've bought there all quite linear and overly sweet mostly sanlewood and vanilla always are prominent. Also there all designed for hotter weather . As they don't project well in the winter. Better of just buying a fragrance oil from al sunnah or perfume parlour ect. Every afmaf fragrance one tried have been utter crap. Yes there cheap but not worth paying money for them . I've owned over 100 fragrances so I know fragrances well.
Man this channel is getting really stale. Week after week he keeps pushing middle eastern scents. We get it, you got a huge bag, but damn, dont make it this obvious.
when i was smoking some of that good i realized. seeing the streets, clubs and culture shift- middle east is trying to fund their cause and expand its influence in the west. the heavy pushing if middle eastern fragrances is just a symptom if the money laundering and their attempts to take over western culture
Dang dude, right after the success of his xerjoff guy memes…he gets kidnapped by the taliban in Dubai and now he’s not allowed to like any non Arabian scents
I do not want to hate this channel, since you got me into fragrances. But to support brands, that rip of original ideas from others is just low. This is what kills innovation. What kind of message do videos like this send to the creative minds behind lots of the brands in the fragrance industry? As someone who owns a fragrance brand, you should know better. Not going to follow this any more.
The message is : lower your prices otherwise clones will get better and better and make you go bankrupt. It's the way capitalism works, it's as simple as that.

We got it, Afnan is sponsoring the chanel. I honestly am really proud what you achieved!
One thing only, these clone videos drive a LOT of people off.
Literally lol this man said Dior 2020 was terrible like huh????
Omar I hope your putting backup bottles in those pre order packages waiting 3 and a half months for our orders is crazy

100 proc all of them lie
Yes it’s a real shame.

Omarvis transparent about it. That's all you can ask for. He's still my #1 reviewer.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Afnan Rare Carbon is daily wear version of TF OL edp, have both but Rare Carbon is that uncut diamond that saves the OG for special occasions
I think Afnan Rare carbon is a bit more spicy . i feel the spices are more prominent then the leather in it
I love Liquid Brun's take on PDM's Althair. I'm looking forward to trying your recommendation for
Baroque Satin Oud.
Good video. Lots of different clones than just CDNIM and Hawas Blue.

Thanks for these releases man!
Thank you Omar for giving us the best affordable clones to expensive niche fragrances, thank you
Mazaaj Infused is one I got last summer... It is so good I got a backup (spent under 40$ for both)...
Love your work longtime subscriber.
I wish you would try Alexandria’s version of imagination
Great video and love your content , please be bit more harsh on quality rating .

montagne parfums has the best LV clones by far check them out
Ey yo Preciate you taking us to fragrance school!!!!
"THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
I love the DNA of Afternoon Swim but not the price nor performance. What’s the best clone for that?
Alexandria - Afternoon Splash
congratulations for managing to keep the terrible atomiser sturdy on the detour noir 😅
The extrait of GC fixes the strength and studying power issue completely and smells even higher quality blended.
What was the name for that second Imagination clone? The blue bottle one
My go to man for cologne.
Would love your opinion on Lattafa Eternal Oud,a clone of MFK Grand Soir
I have tried La Yuqawam..
Its good !!
Please tell me Supremacy Collector's Edition or CDN Precieux, which is better ?
Both solid but I personally prefer collectors edition
Anyone here sniffed creed absolute and preciux I ?
Are they 90% similar? Cause when I sniffed them i found preciux to be fruity but creed absolute wasn’t and didn’t really feel similar.
We need bedroom perfumery episode 4!
Guys anyone knows how mazaaj infused stands against Aqua Dubai ?
Go for aqua Dubai top notch quality
what’s the best amore caffe clone? zimaya tiramisu coco or affogato by fragrance world
I'd really like to know this too!
I love most everything Rasasi does. I've actually been thinking about checking out their sub-brand, Azha...

Any clones or upcoming clones of boss bottled absolu??
In the Caribbean, we wear Layton in all seasons😅
Right, we just go light on the trigger and wear it at night time or places with air conditioner. We don't have cold weather.
2 sprays max
@@ZEFFENWULFwhat happens if you do 3?
@@darrunn probably would come across as obnoxious because the heat makes the fragrance project more
Mazaaj Infused Zimaya or Essence de blanc?
Do you know an alternative to chrome hearts 22?
Review Borouj Perlador pls
Looking for a clone for Lost Cherry?
Maahir Legacy is a chemical harsh mess😅
I thought the same let mine sit for awhile on my shelf, smells amazing now did a side by side sedley its damn near close
I’m with you 100%. Smells like a fizzy sprite. I probably don’t like the dna
You guys hating on the clone videos like you’re out here actually buying full bottles of MFK and Roja fragrances
Oud satin mood original doesn’t have real oud most probably.
I don't know why everyone is upset about clone videos. I don't wear clones much unless the original is hard to get so I didn't watch this video. But I'm not upset that Omar makes an occasional video that doesn't pertain to me.
Shiyaka by Khadlaj makes Amouage Reflection man redundant.
😮
In my opinion, it absolutely does not! The quality difference is very apparent. But Shiyaka is not a bad fragrance for it's price
@ If you are talking about quality of ingredients, then there is no such thing as clone.

Another week another clone fragrance video 😴😴
Damn yall are snobs in here chill tf out. People shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money to smell good
They’re grifting you. Mazaaj infused smells like the cheapest washing powder you buy from lidl. It’s horrific. Don’t waste your money

Stop with the clones!
One year go, Omar was knocking many of these same clones.
Oh yeah, like which ones from this list? 🤔
@ I think during your "Quality over Quantity" phase, you were more impartial about Detour Noir.
Omar had always spoken Highly about detour noir for years and never gave it less than a 9/10
