I tried like 18 decants and most of them are from those clone houses and I can totally agree with you on most of those. The influencers are hyping these up. Asad, Afnan 9 PM, Lattafa Fakhar etc. They all lack elegance and smooth blandness.
Bro just ran into your channel and yes I stop buying clones I’ll just save up for the OG good to see your keeping it real but if their is a good clone let us know 👍👍👍👍👍new sub👍
😢 didn’t even mean for this to be all Lataffa! Out of 15 Lataffa blind buys, there are only 4 that are half decent and one that is great. Il cover the good ones next.
I think buying originals is getting lost in our space. I mean, I get the niche fragrance clone sensation, but they're going after designer DNA now, which is usually more affordable. Gotta get the original to get the magic!
@@TheNoviceKnows I did put a disclaimer that sometimes the clones/affordable stuff can be BETTER. But in most cases we are shoveling piles of cash into a fire
@@BTScents yo bt I just saw the comment! If it helps w the pain, I did not fully reject the ishq al shuyukh but I did suggest to just save up for the real one. Also, even tho I said it a few times, not all Lataffas and clones are bad. Some are even better than the ones they are inspired by. It depends!
@@thamsanqapeko1950 I tried to like it for over a year and a half. Next video will be a more positive take on this subject but I really want to just be honest as a practice.
@@zankfrappe5145 😅 almost. But I also found the reciprocal to be true. For example some inspos/hybrids/ clones are better in many ways than the originals. I am not generalizing. Please watch the entire video.
@@zankfrappe5145 got it my bad. I keep running into comments that people cherry pick what they want to hear from what I’m actually saying in this video. To both extremes. Some people smashing on all clones, some people defending all clones.
@@a.rivera3529 yeah most of these I’ve had a long time. Also, what you’re referring to is called maturation. Same thing with aged liquor and stuff too.
Wow, you're math is way off. You're literally trashing Clones, which the majority of them are excellent. But you saying save for a PDM. Then you have one cologne, ehen you could have a bunch of great Clones.
@@HenriqueCholodovskis Fakhar black is okay ✅ Some of them aren’t bad. I even said that in the video. Not good to generalize all their products. I’ve gotten compliments on Fakhar black for years. Real oud with high quality is a whole other world compared to the cheap oud out there.
@@BeginnerMindset I see, I agree with you. I have Al Nashama Caprice and it is just a great scent. The arabian's dupes generally handles the longevity issue really nice, but not always int he best way. Regarding to Fakhar, there is something anoying I can't stand close, maybe it is my batch, not sure. That's it, thanks for your honest opinion.
Omg eveyone seems to love mahiir but i hate it. Smells like a chemical mess and gives me headaches.... and the maison alhambra galatea from the same line as the first one you showed smells like leather flavored roach spray
