Hi which perfumes better for date party eros edt....dhylan blye...stronger with u....ultra male.....le male le perfum....sauvag edt edp....club de nuit intense man edp
Yes please, i have 10 mls left of my last Lhomme ideal cologne bottle and its getting near impossible to find more. Id settle for a 90% Perfect Man cologne anyday.
Rasasi Hawas came out in 2015 before Invictus Aqua in 2016, therefore Paco Robanne potentially cloned/was inspired by Hawas. If anything Hawas was inspired by the original Invictus (released 2013) and put a more aquatic spin on it.
@Grey agree. You can tell that Greatness is better quality and a little more refined, Glory is a little synthetic... But the price difference makes Glory way more worth getting for anyone who's not a niche snob 😂
Thanks for the input, to everyone that's commented so far. I own oud for glory and really like it. I don't want to spend 300 dollars for something that is slightly better than 30 dollars.
Gents scents you’re a legend. I’ve just got Afnan 9pm and it’s an Ultra male clone BEAST. Performance is 10 hours + and projected so long it gave me a headache. But that’s how I like my fragrances
This man really know fragrance I’m amazed every time I see your videos. Jeremy fragrance is your son when it comes to knowledges about perfumes, of all kinds.
He is so right about Club da Nuit Intense. When I first tried it, I was puzzled by the hype because the opening indeed, was really harsh. I thought, this can't be right. Later, I would try it on my wrist away from my nose, and left it dry down a bit. That's when it hit me. But, what was amazing was the longetivity. I sprayed on my wrist late morning, and much latert that night about 3AM, I had to get up to empty my bladder. Just on a whim, I gave my wrist a whiff and it was still there!
Club de Nuit is astonishing on longevity. I happen to love it but my wife and kids don't. I sprayed it six times in air when I first opened it in our basement and it still smells down there 2 days later!
We don’t need any more Aventus clones. To all the fragrance replicators out there. “Resurrection” is the next step in marketing fragrances. Bring back the missed discontinued gems and improve them. Would love to get Emporio Armani’s CityGlam back but stronger. CityGlam intenso
Ash, love it! But…Afnan Modest Une is the best Suvauge clones, actually may be 99% there, and performance is equal or better. I sprayed it on a shirt and I could still smell it after it was washed! Sometime do a review of your favorite car manufacturers colognes, Bentley, Jaguar, Ferrari, etc. your new vids are very professional and I love the commentary and humor! Every time I tell my wife hey let’s go check out the rack stores, she goes don’t you have enough Cologne, I say, are you kidding I am shy of 200 and I need to get there!
Why not make a whole series about clones. Where you take ALL clones and compare them with the originals. Do ranking system 1-10 for accuracy. And then tier list them based F-S based on quality and price. You can call it "The Clone Wars"
Tabac man Firepower from Maurer & Wirtz is THE BEST dirt cheap Gucci envy clone. Soooooo worth the minimal price to try it out. Speaking as a dude that owns the original and the clone.
As much as I use to dislike clones my opinion has changed. I own a Club de Nuit Intense Man and that there is what changed my attitude towards clones. That there is amazing and yes the beginning can be a lil off putting smelling like lemon pledge but the dry down is so great and it lasts and pushes for so many hours. I did end up purchasing Insurrection II Wild lastnight and liked what I've heard and read about it. This was a fantastic video idea and I'm definitely gonna have to check more of what was said out in the near future.
Insurrection II Pure is is what you need to try. Also cdnim pure parfum is great and doesn't have harsh opening of edt.. I prefer mugler Pure Havane instead of insurrection II wild
Just wondering how Rasasi Hawas (out 2015) could be called a clone of Invictus Aqua (out 2016) when it came out a year prior. It's like saying iOS is a clone of Android OS.
Try out Perfume Parlour in the UK, they have all the fragrances also, yes they have Gucci Guilty and Valentino V as well as other discontinued fragrances. Chris from Fragmental has used these alot and reviews them too.
I really like Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Rouge, a BR450 inspired fragrance, really pleasant and very strong. Stands up well next to Mancera Instant Crush but a fraction of the price.
Wow, I have learnt alot today, thanks Ash. I can't afford the big boys for now, so will check these out for sure. Being in Dubai is helpful, very easy to get online next day delivery, some are even equivalent to $10 here.
I only own 2 from Alexandria so far (Hawaii Volcano and Cacao Dreams), both are really nice. But they do have a line of fragrances that are inspired by discontinued and reformulated scents! Even a Gucci Envy one.
I ordered 2 bottles of club de nuit intense. After 2 weeks of using the first one I liked it so much and got so many compliments I ordered another one. The first bottle has a sticker on it says ultra concentrated and last very long and is almost oily.The second bottle is way worse it lasts about 10 minutes and the opening is very harsh.
@TheRage191 I would also like to know where you bought CDNIM EDT bottle with the "ultra concentrated" sticker on it. I have 3 bottles of CDNIM EDT from different vendors and I have never seen that sticker before.
I got it off fragrence net but they shipped the wrong one even the edp one doesn't say ultra concentrated I swear that's the best one to get if you can even get it
What is even more odd is that Ash used to cover them. He pretty much abandoned them and so has most youtubers which goes to show you they mainly peddle the fragrances that they get for free or kickbacks from.
I will say because of you I got the armaf craze and club intense and my wife and I totally dig them especially craze personally it reminds me of great times with this exotic dancer I used to date. Keep up the great content Ash …. BTW your Jet Black scent is a banger also 👍🏻
Bro luv the channel. Fragrances are something I’ve always been into, my buddy Shawn always had Hugo boss and nautica back in the day but now we def dabble w the big boys with the creeds.
totally agree. clones of discontinued fragrances would be great. in an psycholigal addition, that doesnt have this touch of.... hm, like say copying other artist creativity, because the the target of cloning ist discontinued anyway. by the way: does anyone of you guys has an idea about a fragrance that comes close to "exception" by gainsboro (my all time favorite ) which has been discontinued long ago?
Hello Ash, how are you? I'm digging the video!! This was a great, great video!! Armaf Fragrances, Rasasi, and Afnan I have some of those. I really want OUD FOR GLORY. STAY SAFE BROTHER.
Great video of the somewhat Core group of Clone Houses, doing their interpretations of the Higher end fragrances at a reduced price. Very helpful as the list of knockoffs is Endless!
Another fragrance house that does clones is Ajmal, but this is a house that does very high quality niche fragrances... it depends on what line of theirs you are looking at
I don't agree that clone houses shall start when a frag is discontinued, then it is too late...I think they have to clone latest when the original one gets reformulated, so that they copy the orginal version with the better performance.
Hey Ash, I've been watching your videos for a while now and as well as being excellent your presentation is brilliant mate, very polished. Keep up the great work👍👌
🔥🔥🔥Great vid as always... but I am curious on your take on Club de Nuit Intense (for women)... its supposed to be a clone of Tom Ford's Noir De Noir... its actually pretty decent...
I'm fully on board for these clone houses to clone discontinued fragrances such as Pure Havane, Ultra Zest, Gucci Pour Homme ll and Midnight in Paris, to name a few.
Parfums Vintage is in a league of their own when it comes to quality and they do a Gucci PH2 clone (Imbue) based on the 2010 formula. Also Superbious is there Midnight in Paris EDP clone. DUA have major issues with getting the usual accounts to hype up releases and when they arrive and aren't as advertised their hype merchants say that they need time to mature. 3 months later you're left holding the dud and the next 7 releases each week are the next to be hyped. A lot of buyers are finding that their Dua's all have the same mid and base notes so they clearly just do a standard base of solvents and fixatives in all of their rushed to release fragrances just so they can be the first to release. Lots of complaints of skin irritation issues as they just make everything Extrait concentration and hope it performs but you don't know until its too late as they have their pre planned excuse "you need to let them mature" which is clearly a company who don't have quality in their DNA because they would hold the stocks to mature until they were ready to ship to the customer
Hi Ash, great comprehensive list as always. Just a clarification / correction though as Rasasi Hawas is regarded to be a clone of Invictus Aqua 2016 but Hawas actually came out in 2015. What do you think? Gonna be an interesting topic too in a future vid perhaps?
I would love and pay a decent amount for a clone of a cologne I used to buy at Walmart called “Avatar by Coty” this was a banger growing up. It was more of a compliment monster than aventus and souvage combined.
the biggest myth that doesn’t seem to be debunked by the fragrance community is that, invictus Aqua (2016 release) is actually the clone of Rasasi Hawas (2015 release)
I've tried a lot of those Clones. Even your top Intense. Never get a compliment. But whenever I wear a Dua Casino, I get multiple compliments.. I don't like their customer service and Delivery service (FedEx) but for me.. Dua beats practically all you mentioned.
Hey Ash you missed Afnan Supremacy in Oud!... which, I've heard, is a clone of Initio Oud for Greatness I only mention it cause nobody is reviewing this one and I'm just gonna blind buy it
For you 15-25 dollars are not much but in india, armaf club de nuit intense men cost around 5000 rupees which is way more when it launched at around 1500 rupees.
Thanks for another great video! How about a video talking about fragrances for older men (over 45 or 50?) if you are looking for suggestions or taking requests.
I’m going straight clones and under $100 designers from now on. Been burnt too much by Creed these last few years. These designer prices are also getting out of hand. Hopefully the clones keep getting better.
