I have never mourned the loss of anything so far in my life as i do the discontinuation of midnight in paris. My absolute favorite fragrence without a shadow of a doubt. Im looking for very close clones of it but i dont think there will ever be anything identical to it which is a shame. L van cleef and arpels
I am so thankful you brought up Escada Casual Friday. I blind bought this in the late 90’s when I worked retail and I still think about that fragrance till this very day. I so wish I had that bottle. Thanks for the recommendation on something that will get me close.
Probably not many remember Helmut Lang Eau de Cologne for Men (2000) but it was a really unique Summer fragrance. Only have about half a bottle left and never found anything that remotely comes close to it. Would love to get a backup, but they're going for $300+ now
I thankfully still have my Midnight in Paris, and only wear it very sparingly. It also looks spectacular on my display stand. That being said, I do have Luna Rossa Black, and you're right, its scent is quite close to Midnight in Paris! Nice!
Zara vibrant leather is the closest one to Armani Attitude but it lacks projection and longevity. It's a Zara afterall, but if you miss the AA it's worth it; and it's cheap
Attitude extreme was my first perfume. Gifted by my mom. It’s been a looong time but when I tried daarej it kind of reminded me of it. But I can’t really remember the scent too much. I will defo get givenchy gentlement !!
You have to look a bit into the German brand Eclat. They really have some amazing 1:1 clones, also of discontinued fragrances. It can be a little challange to know what they are a clone of (all in same bottles, but different numbers) Trust me, they are worth it.
Guys I flopped bad. I found a bottle of Midnight in Paris 2 years ago at a yardsale for like 10$ and I bought it for my sister (I was not a Fragrance head back then) it was brand new and it broke when it was dropped. Rip
my best replacement for Gucci envy is Ministry of Oud. Oud Royal.... more so on the dry down... its a clone of Royal Oud by Creed...I would highly suggest it to you. or any one who wants a hint of Gucci envy on a dry down.
Great job as always! Hey Asher, remember Bang by Marc Jacob's? I had that juice back in 2010. Never liked it but I just checked it recently and I can't believe how expensive that is. Anyways, keep up the great work!
midnight in paris is great.. if you layer PI with l'homme ideal, you may get that benzoin+tonka+almond+leather ... i never tried it but i can see it working
Givenchy Very Irresistible was my introduction to gourmands back in the early 2000s. I used to love it and was willing to pay whatever just to have it again. Thankful Catalina Herrera Bad Boy EDP smells just like it from what I remember
Armani Attitude Extreme is to this very day my favorite fragrance, my first signature fragrance. And no, those are not just memories! I can´t get over it being discontinued, never will. Sorry, nothing smells even close to Attitude Extreme and neither does Gentleman Réserve Privée - not even in the same ballpark.
I wish you would have talked about paco rabanne 1 million prive. I recently bought 100ml for €170 I just love the scent and there isn't a clone of it to purchase in the netherlands.
Haha, yeah a bunch of editing mistakes in this vid. Also showed Bvlgari Man In Black instead Bvlgari Black. Pretty sure his wife (or possibly a new editor he hired now) is the one who edits the vids and made those mistakes
I need a similar one to the discontinued JOOP! What about Adam? I'm not a big JOOP! fan, but that scent was just great and I freaked out when I found out it's not available any more... cheers from Stuttgart, Germany
Hi Ash, when are you making a video on the "Jean Paul Le Male Elixir" fragrance and perhaps do a comparison between the "Le Male Elixer" vs "Le Male Le Parfum"? Or maybe something interesting, all the Elixers vs each other like "One Million Elixir", "Invictus Victory Elixir", "Jean Paul Le Male Elixir" and "Dior Sauvage Elixir"?
Clone house? Well...I think you just gave Dua a list of what fragrances to clone next. Can't help but Wonder what their tacky names would be. Tony Barbados anyone?
Hey Ash, just picked up the steal of the century here in the UK - 75ml bottle of Polo Deep Blue parfum for only £25..! Complete blind buy as it was originally on sale for £50, the missus and I both love it.
Be careful with maxaroma , but “new” bottle of Mancera wave musk , batch code was 3 years old , yeah I know , sealed , shouldn’t have a problem, but with some “freshie” shelf life shorter just thought it wouldn’t be already vintage 😂
@14:48 Ash seriously you ought to creatively direct some clones of your most highly regarded discontinued fragrances. I have suggested this already a couple of times in previous comments to your videos.
You could auction off 2/3rds of your discontinued collection and put a kid through college. I actually wish there were some alternatives to Gucci II, HiM, and Equus. Male fragrances in that field are going extinct.
i think you used the wrong image when discussing Bvlgari Black. U showed us Man in Black, and apparently to my knowledge that is still available, whereas the similarly sounding Black is the one discontinued. Yea i know, they sound way too close and it makes it very confusing. But yes, they are 2 different scents.
I have no idea why midnight in Paris was discountinued. It was such a masterpiece. I wish it gets revived, maybe under a different name and different price tag. But I wish!
@@Mooljim I'm sure it got overlooked by so many people because of the price, and the fragrance community on the social media wasn't as strong back then to really put it on a piedestal. It was such a bargain. I miss it really. One of the best fragrances ever made.
@@valentinexristov8915 strongly agree with you. Thats why I bought Prada Luna Black even before this video. Tbh Prada Luna Black is better however MiP had a much better price and an amazing bottle. Best bottle I have ever seen.
Wrong pic for Bvlgari black. should be the hockey puck not the Man in black bottle. Just in case newbies think man in black smells like Midnight in paris.
Man look I'm looking for this hidden gem scent that I found last year it's "lively casa del tobacco" it was 15 dollars but it was the best stuff I've ever ever had got anything like it
Those wood bottles look cool. I do cringe when people say the bottle isnt comfortable in the hand, come on man are you that soft that holding a block of wood for 30 seconds discomforts you....come on man lol
I own black walnut paid 20 bucks at Marshall's amd it kinda reminds me of explorer and silver supremacy. I've always got complaints wearing ut and uts an easy dumb reach
R.I.P M7. I loved that until they changed the blend. It's been many years and I'm still not ok. Gonna have to drown my sorrows with some LV Imagination.
Dude, is Man in Black actually discontinued? If so, I'll have to buy a couple of back-up bottles ASAP. Does anyone know where I can find info on which frags are discontinued or not?
he said bvlgari black but showed a picture of man in black which are two different things. Bvlgari black which actually smells like midnight in pairs is discontinued. Man in black is not discontinued and does not smell like midnight in paris.
He talked about Bvlgari black but shows the bottle for man in black. Then he talks about magnetism but shows the women's version of magnetism. He needs to really work on editing
My wife's boyfriend wears Givenchy Gentleman. I know this because my pillows and bed smell like it.
Your wife's boyfriend?😅😂
Wait, whaat?
Killed me
😬 yikes
In other words, you are your wife's "boyfriend"! That's hilarious! 😂
Gucci envy was a masterpiece. Can’t believe they ever discontinued
The bomb it was
give a Shout out out too Armani Code and the Courtney Ryan channel congrats and the review man!🤨👍
@@bltmiy Code before reformulation
the new one of "he wood: is "Original Wood DSQUARED²" the brown bottle
The ALTERNATIVE for Midnight in Paris was Bvlgari Black Unisex [hockey puck]...It was UBER cheap as well but it has been discontinued TOO.
3:32 Inadvertently showed an image of Bvlgari Man in Black rather than the discontinued Bvlgari Black hockey puck shaped fragrance you were referencing.
Also…I LOVE when you bust out the beautiful ol’ Gucci Envy bottle. 🤩🤑
Also showed an image of the female version of Escada Magnetism which is not discontinued 🤔
Yeah I noticed that too lol. Pretty sure his wife (or possibly a new editor he hired now) is the one who edits the vids and made that mistake
@@Oppholdsnes Yeah pretty sure his wife (or possibly a new editor he hired now) is the one who edits the vids and made that mistake
So the present Man in black is not discontinued? Uf :D
I noticed that too and was like what, I can still find this easy.
I'm surprised you didn't toss in Mugler pure malt, and Star Man Nebula.. Just got it the other day and am really enjoying it so far.
I have never mourned the loss of anything so far in my life as i do the discontinuation of midnight in paris. My absolute favorite fragrence without a shadow of a doubt. Im looking for very close clones of it but i dont think there will ever be anything identical to it which is a shame. L van cleef and arpels
Prada Luna Rossa Black kinda resembles it. My opinion it is the closest to MidNight in Paris.
Just watched the video and realized I Saif the same thing as he did.
That Gucci Envy was my favorite back in 2001. Brought it at KMART LOL. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT NOW😊
I am so thankful you brought up Escada Casual Friday. I blind bought this in the late 90’s when I worked retail and I still think about that fragrance till this very day. I so wish I had that bottle. Thanks for the recommendation on something that will get me close.
Hey Ash, for real though you should do a fragrance with Michael Malul thats is as close as a 1:1 clone of Gucci Envy and Midnight in Paris
Joop nightlight is my most missed fragrance. Jaguar Classic smells similar for a few minutes then it's gone
Probably not many remember Helmut Lang Eau de Cologne for Men (2000) but it was a really unique Summer fragrance. Only have about half a bottle left and never found anything that remotely comes close to it. Would love to get a backup, but they're going for $300+ now
I found one for 200€

Here's another lost fragrance Silver Shadow - Davidoff. Really nice scent
You have to look a bit into the German brand Eclat. They really have some amazing 1:1 clones, also of discontinued fragrances. It can be a little challange to know what they are a clone of (all in same bottles, but different numbers) Trust me, they are worth it.
The original Armani Attitude was dynamite. Tried and failed for years to get something close to it.
Guys I flopped bad. I found a bottle of Midnight in Paris 2 years ago at a yardsale for like 10$ and I bought it for my sister (I was not a Fragrance head back then) it was brand new and it broke when it was dropped. Rip
Ahh yes, Viktor & Rolf, the ones who created Midnight in Paris and Spicebomb 🤣
😂😭😂
At least he got the text right.

so true - they have nothing in common...
I believe that a better alternative for Crave could be the CK Everyone?
I love He Wood Silver Wind Wood . But sadly they got discontinued.
My unicorn 🦄 discontinued gem? Donna Karan DKMen Fuel.
Went through 2 bottles and soap when it was available. Unbelievable scent.
I wish you would have talked about paco rabanne 1 million prive. I recently bought 100ml for €170
I just love the scent and there isn't a clone of it to purchase in the netherlands.
we need an cheap alternative to Gucci pour homme 2
up
Hani Mori for HIM is very similar (both the edt and edp). And I believe it's the same perfumer
@@EvolutionOfMan Thanks, but that one is hard to find now in the uk, and is going for over 90 quid. im guessing its discontinued?
Ah I love Spicebomb by Van Cleef and Arpels
Haha, yeah a bunch of editing mistakes in this vid. Also showed Bvlgari Man In Black instead Bvlgari Black. Pretty sure his wife (or possibly a new editor he hired now) is the one who edits the vids and made those mistakes
2:44 yeahh midnight in paris by viktor & rolf 😂 what a mixt of both 😂😢
i need an alternative to Polo Explorer
Love Midnight in Paris. Great for weddings and funerals.
And underwater events
Same thing
@@sameerbrown673 I sense a divorcee
@@umpus 😄
I'm intrigued. What is a starfish note? Chocolate starfish?
😂
Probably the same thing Bvlgari calls "seaweed."
I need a similar one to the discontinued JOOP! What about Adam? I'm not a big JOOP! fan, but that scent was just great and I freaked out when I found out it's not available any more... cheers from Stuttgart, Germany
You got the wrong bottle for Carven home. You showed the later Carven pour homme. I made that mistake too!
The most interesting and informative video you have presented in many months.
Victor and Rolfe antidote would be one I like to see come back
I need Bvlgari Aqva Amara clone!
Parfums Vintage makes a Midnight in Paris clone named Superbious it’s pricey though $89 for 50 ml and $139 for 100 ml or $6.00 for a sample.
Legit didn't know about the Jaguar. Props for that one.

Great list Ash!!
NEIN! DO A TOP TEN DISCONTINUED FRAGRANCES... also, please review Pavarotti 🙏🏻
Hey ash, nice video, u have an idea for a replacement of Givenchy irresistible men?😊
Lets hear the news ash🎉🎉🎉🎉
Crave was GREAT! .. hmm does the jaguar fragrance even last tho?
@14:48 Ash seriously you ought to creatively direct some clones of your most highly regarded discontinued fragrances. I have suggested this already a couple of times in previous comments to your videos.
Is there a Similar Scent to Thierry Mugler A Men Kryptomint for men⁉️
Go FULL THANOS. "Fine, I'll do it myself." YAZ!! 😅
You could auction off 2/3rds of your discontinued collection and put a kid through college.
I actually wish there were some alternatives to Gucci II, HiM, and Equus. Male fragrances in that field are going extinct.
Please can you find a fragrance similar to Lancome Trophee ???...... I got hooked on scents when I was a kid as they came in a multipack of miniatures
Can't find Armaf Futura anywhere. Hoping more get released soon so I can pick up a bottle.

Calvin Klein Obsession Night is a bit similar to Armani Attitude Extreme.
REALLY. That's awesome
I have no idea why midnight in Paris was discountinued. It was such a masterpiece. I wish it gets revived, maybe under a different name and different price tag. But I wish!
