Yes, but he needs to actually legitimately wear them for a couple of days. Doing testing based off of the first few sprays and ignoring the dry downs completely misses the point of these fragrances!
It is a gorgeous fragrance. If you have a sample of althaïr, you will hardly find any diferences. If you don't, get ready to discover one of your winter staples!
Rifaaqat is insane, dry-down is heavenly, and I just got it.. I heart that in time (couple of months) it will mature to be an even better and smoother.
I still find it crazyyyy how a few weeks ago in the middle of midnight, Jomashop had a restock of the straight of the real deal! YSL- L'Homme Ultime! Couldn't catch a bottle cuz I've been saving for the holidays, but really cool that this one popped out of nowhere for like 30 minutes 😂, thank you Ash!
Great breakdown Ash. I’ve watched your channel for years. Can you please leave the fragrance name on screen while you’re talking about it? Sometimes you only mention the name in the beginning and we have to rewind to see what it is. Seems like an easy addition. I’d really appreciate it. Cheers!
Picked up about 15 clones this year, going to treat myself to a 100ml bottle of Xerjoff Monkey Special for christmas as I have not found anything that even comes remotely close to it's heavenly scent! And shipping sadly costs as much as the bottle from Montagne and it has been out of stock for a while, sadly... Thanks for all these videos and your amazing dedication btw, Ash!
I found a nice iris fragrance that reminds me of Dior Homme Intense and Arpege Pour Homme. It's called Qaa'ed Intense by Lattafa. I'd like you to do a review of it, if you could. Please and thank you. Sincerely, Smelly
Question!? With clones becoming so close to og. Is buying 100$ disiner cologne worth it still? I loved ysl y but it got cloned so close. Are disiner fragrance in the 80 to 120$ rang worth it still?
That's a decision you have to make personally, even if the clones are close they are still missing some from the original more times than not, try for yourself then decide
If you're strictly about scent it won't make sense. If your pocket could afford a designer and want to treat yourself with something expensive, why not? Go for it. It's all up to you. I most have clone fragrances, but there are some designers I just desire to have.
I have some designers and some clones. Money is not a problem for me. I still prefer the clones because of the price, quality, and easy access. But that's just me
Amazing list but my pockets are already hurting from buying so many other Arabian fragrances and JPGs.........on a side note I woke up today to see fragrantica announce a Dior Homme Parfum 2025! As well as Burberry Hero Parfum Intense! Can't the perfumers give us until the 3rd week of January to relax and enjoy our end of the year gifts 🎁🎁🎁😭😭😭
Cacharel pour l'homme, which was only produced between 1981-1989 best of the best ... 90s production Cacharel or any similiar perfume has ever come close to it. If Gerard Goupy is still alive, he should make first formula again. I have never found that scent again, which made women put their noses close to my neck to smell my perfume on the street. And I have never seen such a beautiful scent.
My father in law loves Monsieur Musk, the newer versions don't smell the same as the original. I've looked around for anything saying there's clones or anything similar to it. Any ideas?
I just got a bottle of La Uno from Fragrance World. And it's a really solid clone of Paco Rabanne One Million,which I love! Very reasonably priced....$20?!....oh yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about!

Hi Ash, How does Rifaaqat compare to Maison Alhambra Ebene, which you featured recently (and doesn't seem to be widely available yet)?
Me to, Have an open bottle of Absolu and a closed backup, same with luminous night, for sale, $500.00 just joking but not joking You should make a video about the discontinued frags that should come back
Thank you Ash for a wonderful year of excellent clone recommendations. I have 5 of these in my collection, all based on your great reviews of them. I love them all. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Stay blessed. ❤
French Avenue Azzure Aoud is equal to Liquid Brun in quality and compliment factor too. Love Harmony Code, Vintage Radio, and It's Essential...really done well.
Your latest vid so I figured id ask here for better chance you actually reading this. So have you ever seen or owned a cologne that smellls like Irish spring and coast soap?yep those two. Coast is the cleanest smell I’ve ever smelled. Prada Luna Rossa ocean may be cleanest smell I’ve bought with colognes. I know smell is subjective but if you know of a cologne that smells like Coast soap or Irish spring could you let me know? Thank you Sir
For as much as Ash likes Le Male Elixir, it seems like he tends to rush right past The Kingdom. It’s hard to gauge just how close it gets and how much he likes it. I feel like if it was a game changer, he would spend more time describing it and hyping it up. Anyone else compare it with LME?
following Hollywood's lead. Instead of new and creative ideas we're just getting sequels and remakes of the old stuff. Welcome to the age of repetition! Now go watch the latest Star Wars series, play Indiana Jones in HD, and sniff DHP 2025. When you're done, we can always remake 'em again (:

Is it safe to assume the people complaining about repetitive fragrances are just the broke people who won’t buy anything but clones regardless? Those comments seem to be missing despite all of these being features previously
The year is dictated by what influencers push.Its whoever the influencers are making money off of ..I rem the dame influencers pushing clones sheeting on them on the daily .hmmmm
Ash hasn’t “pushed” anything. He still criticizes what clone houses do. A scent isn’t illegal to copy, however, when clone houses go as far as stealing bottle designs. Ash will call them out on their bs. It’s always been his style. He also reminds his fan base every now and then to support brands they love. “If you have the money for it, buy from the actual brand”. If you love something, support it, simple as that.
Hey Ash, Please don't talk about the unnecessary stuffs like the jewels on the fragrance bottles, all we want to know how much close it gets to the original. I mean you can do whatever you want but if you just joke about the bottle for like 3-4 mins it's just annoying. Also would love to see clone wars between Rayhaan Elixir and Lattafa Kingdom, also Liquid brun and Art of Nature II. Sorry if you feel like I was being rude, just some constructive criticism.❤
Would Love a clone war series where you pick a fragrance and grab all your clones of it and rank them.
Starting with Aventus….
It’s probably in the works
@@_mchance😂
Yes, but he needs to actually legitimately wear them for a couple of days. Doing testing based off of the first few sprays and ignoring the dry downs completely misses the point of these fragrances!
Neeb aka @aromatix does this
I’m addicted to vintage radio. I just want to smell it all day
same here can't get enough! after a month of maceration it's even stronger for me
Mine's not a strong performer 😢 have to reapply in 2 hours or so
VR gets stronger over time!!
I have liquid brun on the way as s christmas gift to myself and I'm really excited to try it out!
You won't be disappointed.
It is a gorgeous fragrance. If you have a sample of althaïr, you will hardly find any diferences. If you don't, get ready to discover one of your winter staples!

Rifaaqat is insane, dry-down is heavenly, and I just got it..
I heart that in time (couple of months) it will mature to be an even better and smoother.
Agreed got it for €19 last week absolutely beautiful scent
@@SSx90someone said its muffy… do you agree? Would I like this fragrance?
Great list. There's a few more that could have made it but I'll only add one:
Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice
But not the best...
It's great, it can totally replace La Nuit and its insane price
Grandeur iconic nuit is better alternative to ysl bleu electrique.
I’m so excited that I have a few of your favorites!
Bro your positive energy is conducive 😊
The one thing fragcomm comment sections are missing is “hey bro”
Conducive to what ?
The Envy Of Fomo has been one of my most attention grabbing frags this year. Walking around here smelling like the 90s/2000s 😎
Does it smell like one i Love Gucci Envy
Thank you for the list.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I still find it crazyyyy how a few weeks ago in the middle of midnight, Jomashop had a restock of the straight of the real deal! YSL- L'Homme Ultime! Couldn't catch a bottle cuz I've been saving for the holidays, but really cool that this one popped out of nowhere for like 30 minutes 😂, thank you Ash!

In addition to Liquid Brun, Art of Wood is my other favorite this year
I 100% agree, we all want more discontinued fragrances!
Picked up about 15 clones this year, going to treat myself to a 100ml bottle of Xerjoff Monkey Special for christmas as I have not found anything that even comes remotely close to it's heavenly scent!

Ysl worth it anyday. No clone close to ysl y. Dont be fool by the youtuber frags. You gotta experience yourself.
I have some designers and some clones. Money is not a problem for me. I still prefer the clones because of the price, quality, and easy access. But that's just me
Morning all!

Love the video Gents Scents stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way nice review and choice's
I have Rifaaqat, CDN PRECIEUX, and Vintage Radio and all 3 are AMAZING!!!
Some pretty awesome clones here. I have about 3 of em too.
Would love a video of a top 10 discontinued fragrances
Cacharel pour l'homme, which was only produced between 1981-1989 best of the best ... 90s production Cacharel or any similiar perfume has ever come close to it.

Is The Kingdom a better option for clubbing than The Most Wanted Azzaro?
Edp or Parfum?
I just got a bottle of La Uno from Fragrance World. And it's a really solid clone of Paco Rabanne One Million,which I love! Very reasonably priced....$20?!....oh yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about!
Hi Ash,
How does Rifaaqat compare to Maison Alhambra Ebene, which you featured recently (and doesn't seem to be widely available yet)?
Rifaquat for sure
Do you like victory elixir or Sauvage elixir more?
Bring back Montblanc Legend Intense FORTHWITH! That is one of the most amazing and underrated scents ever made easily. PLEASE SOMEONE 😭
With the raising prices and Bidenomics I have started looking at clones the last couple years. There are some bangers out there.
8:39 would be a great video!
Me to,
Have an open bottle of Absolu and a closed backup, same with luminous night, for sale, $500.00 just joking but not joking
You should make a video about the discontinued frags that should come back
Love it
Thank you Ash for a wonderful year of excellent clone recommendations. I have 5 of these in my collection, all based on your great reviews of them. I love them all. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Stay blessed. ❤
I think moving forward I'll only purchase clones of discontinued fragrances.
I like that idea too
My favorite cheap cheap frag right now is from tic tok choco musk can’t get enough of
Is harmony code absolute discontinued?
French Avenue Azzure Aoud is equal to Liquid Brun in quality and compliment factor too. Love Harmony Code, Vintage Radio, and It's Essential...really done well.
Do u have a discounr code for montagne?
Do you guys think I should get Rasasi Essential (Clean,Musky,Fresh) or Lataffa Kingdom (Sweet,Earthy,Warm) ?!
Give us a Luna Rossa extreme clone please!
None
Your latest vid so I figured id ask here for better chance you actually reading this. So have you ever seen or owned a cologne that smellls like Irish spring and coast soap?yep those two.

Any clone to Guerlain Cuir Beluga or something similar to Penhaligons 1870?
Ash love felt.
For as much as Ash likes Le Male Elixir, it seems like he tends to rush right past The Kingdom. It’s hard to gauge just how close it gets and how much he likes it.
I feel like if it was a game changer, he would spend more time describing it and hyping it up. Anyone else compare it with LME?
Nazih Silver. Great Boss Bottled Intense clone!
Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice has to be one of the top ones. Aether Extrait PDM Greenly clone. The Nitro Red.
Ash, is there a clone of the discontinued original Ralph Lauren Romance for men???
ATTACK OF THE CLONES!
Any news regarding the giveaways?
Anyone heard of the the new Dior Homme Parfum 2025??
following Hollywood's lead. Instead of new and creative ideas we're just getting sequels and remakes of the old stuff. Welcome to the age of repetition! Now go watch the latest Star Wars series, play Indiana Jones in HD, and sniff DHP 2025. When you're done, we can always remake 'em again (:
It will be iris centric and completely different from previous versions. Like Dior Homme "place year here" but parfum.
Being first by 20 seconds is crazy
third
Rasasi hawas black?
Please bring back Bulgari Aqua Amara and Mercedes Benz Cologne!
Random news of the day: Dior Homme Parfum 2025 just got announced!

Notes look very different from the original DHP
They just need to clone Acqua Di Gio Profumo the fact that theres nothing thats that legit of a clone to it drives me nuts lol
BOSS BOTTLED ABSOLU CLONE NOW!!
This is AMAZING FOR THE PRICE POINT… hidden message?
I think Rasasi have now discontinued It's Essential 😞
Nobody has reviewed or mentioned Fragrance World Paradigm, another Initio Paragon clone. Hmmmm. And what about Al Nashama?
Pdm Althier I'd another great clone of Club black.
Althair is a clone of a Mercedes frag? 😂
Your audio rumbles my head.
I'm surprised the Supremacy Collectors Edition didn't make the cut.
Shhhh, we’re gate keeping this
Bring back, Ralph Lauren Romance Silver!!!
Burlington is starting to carry lattafa
Am I trippin' or does Le Male Elixir have similarities with Stronger With You Intensely?
Seems like Harmony Code Absolute is always sold out.
No khadlaj island.?
19 months ago ?
What is it that you're trying to communicate?
9 or 10 months ago. He ran his words together a little 😂
@@SmellsAddicted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jints Cints
Rifaaqat 🙄
Where afnan supremacy collector edition? 😢
Niche bootlickers are punching the air right now.
Is it safe to assume the people complaining about repetitive fragrances are just the broke people who won’t buy anything but clones regardless? Those comments seem to be missing despite all of these being features previously
No
Ribbed for your pleasure. 🤣🤣🤣
The Ehvy of fomo vs Gary's Den...which would appeal to your wife more?

ONE COLOGNE I WOULD GIVE MY LEFT NUT TO COME BACK FROM WHEN I WAS A HIGH SCHOOLER! PURE FOR MEN BY Jil Sander
any blind buy thats not synthetic?
The year is dictated by what influencers push.Its whoever the influencers are making money off of ..I rem the dame influencers pushing clones sheeting on them on the daily .hmmmm
