Fortnight Maison Alhambra best clone of Dior Fahrenheit ? episode 128 

Hello Garvit Mehta. Thanks, I really appreciate 🙏🏼

Tanks dear Russell 👍 Be aware that the leather of Fortnight is an animalic Suede ( leather) , I personally love it a lot. Like a flash back , an olfactive memory, It brings me back to my teenage years when I was wearing the first batches of Dior Fahrenheit, Tsar Van Cleef & Arpels, Kouros YSL , Drakkar Noir Guy Laroche...

@@marco4uperfumes708 thank you for the heads up 👍

Oh yes Max, it's a great clone 👍

Hello dear NyangoStarAmerica and welcome back. Thanks,I really appreciate 🙏🏻 After 17 months of maceration, it is now closer to the Parfum version flanker, except the boozy note. Be aware that this one is more mature but I adore it, as I mentioned in my review, it's not a blind buy. But it's a very rich scent, specially after maceration, Renheit by fragrance world that I also purchased is even a better fragrance/ dupe 90% similar to the Parfum version👍🏻

I am fine, thanks and Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate.

@@marco4uperfumes708 Good to hear. You're welcome.

Everything cool bro 😁👍 But this one , you will not like it, the leather is animalic, suede dominant note , I adore it 😁

Thanks A We 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤣

Hello and welcome Thiago Cvel. First thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is indeed a wonderful fragrance for those who love like me and appreciate leather notes in fragrances. You are right,. Fortnite by Maison Alhambra is a good interpretation of Fahrenheit Parfum , especially after a few months of maceration . Feel free to watch my other reviews.

Thanks dear Mario The Mercedes Benz intense is very nice and the petroleum note is there but the leather note is quite discreet, it is a clone of the modern version of Fahrenheit EDT . On The other hand, Fortnight for men is much more animalic or animalistic, the suede (Leather) I hope that you will find a good deal 👍 🙏🏼 So you like Dior Fahrenheit DNA? Did you test the ''le Parfum or the absolute version ?

@@marco4uperfumes708 Interesting.. I did not know Benz Intense was a twist of Farenheit.

@@duMaurier15 yes it is a very good summer & spring take on Fahrenheit and perhaps Fahrenheit aqua but I can not detect the leather on the Mercedes .

I had MB Intense but maybe my body chemistry changed it didn't smell like Farenheit used to smell on me

@@kevinmayers4346 About Mercedes Benz intense, it's not necessarily a body chemistry, could also be a reformulation or a bad batch. I'm quite happy with Fortnight by Maison Alhambra but you need to love the animalistic leather note that go with it 😁

Do you mean Dior Fahrenheit EDT?

@@marco4uperfumes708 yes Fahrenheit eau de toilette

Thanks a lot and welcome Rodney D.🙏🏼 First let me wish you an Happy new year 🥂. Well according to what you wrote and your exclusive layering 👏 First let me suggest to you some great and affordable alternatives or dupes for those that you mentioned. Ok first alternative for Dior Fahrenheit Parfum of coure is Fortnight by Maison Alhambra (specially if you like the animalic touch and closer to the parfum version but not totally the boozy note is missing !) (But you can also purchase Mercedes Benz intense but the leather note is tone down , it 's a more crowd pleaser and refined take on it , probably inspired by the aqua flanker but personally I find it boring 😁.) Than you have The man Cobalt by Milton & Lloyd which is very nice clone of Fahrenheit too --------------- For decent alternatives to Side effect, you need to go for Collateral Damage by the house of Dua or Purple Effect by Fragrance World. --------------- And for Bleu de Channel Parfum, I have to be less enthusiastic, I never smelled a good alternative to the parfum Flanker! Version ever! So I guess that you need to keep this one lol. Feel free to watch my other reviews 🤠👍

@@marco4uperfumes708 thanks so much for you help. I will look into these fragrances and let you know!

@@rodneyd7773 thanks 🙏🏼

@@scentsing Hello Okky Har and welcome. First thanks for sharing your thoughts , I also wore Fahrenheit in my youth years and adores it , I also got in my collection ''Renheit '' that is indeed a dupe of the parfum version, I reviewed in the past Hitfire by La Rive , the old formula was lasting on my shirt 6 to 7 hours in the cold weather or in Aircon environment (not on skin ) but unfortunately,it was reformulated, the scent is amazing for the price but the lasting is as you mentioned not the best , of course in tropical hot & humid climate like Indonesia , all fragrances evaporates quicker 😭. However if you want an affordable dupe of the actual EDT. version of Dior Fahrenheit , just go for Mercedes Benz intense for Men , that last a reasonable time and is very pleasant. I hope that I was useful, feel free to watch my other reviews and also from my colleague and friend Pinoy Kiwi Scent 😉

@@marco4uperfumes708 for sure, absolutely agreed that MB intense was great but out of my list because it's worth about US$45-50 here in Indo. The fortnight/renheit only for US$15-18, so this is what I called afforable price. TBH price range between 10-25 are the most valueable market here

Hello Carlos YR 69 Fahrenheit by Alexandria Fragrances is just wow and so close to the vintage Fahrenheit edt , it is 90% similar. Or Mercedes Benz intense, very close to the current reformulated version of this Dior Personally I prefer Fortnight 😎 I hope that I was useful , feel free to watch my other reviews 😉

Hello dear Manny05drummer, thanks for your interesting informations , so unfortunately hitfire was also reformulated 😭, what a pity , la rive got great cheap dupes ,of course it's not at the level of Maison Alhambra but don't forget they sell it damn cheap. Fortnight will last much longer 😎 (piece of cake), just let it macerate after using normally 20 spritz, than remove the cap for 2 weeks and let it rest and breath in a dark place , after this process ,put the cap back. it will be even better 💪 Feel free to watch my other reviews, specially episode 140 , it's my Top 10 best Maison Alhambra dupes 😉

@@marco4uperfumes708 ok and that about the macerate can work whit hitfire so that process of macerate help to make it more long lasting ?

Hello dear Ivan Nikolendzic. In my opinion, if you want that gasoline vibe , go for the Mercedes Benz intense , because in the Fortnight this note is tone down and it's going more on the parfum version , on top of that the MB intense is more fresh and you can use it in the hot summer 🌞⛱️ which is not really the case of the Maison Alhambra !

@@marco4uperfumes708 Thank you, as always Marco ! Waiting for new good reviews from you!

​@@dzigi05MB intense is similar only for first 5 minutes, its bad clone.

Hello and welcome Francisco Martinez. As I mentioned in this review it is 80% similar to the old batch released in the end of the 80's(unfortunately the gasoline note is tone down! ) but with a touch of the actual Parfum, because the animalistic and suede note that is very present. 65% close to the actual Fahrenheit le Parfum (after a few months of maceration!) And it is in my opinion only 50% close to the actual version of Dior Fahrenheit EDT. , So if you want a more close and affordable dupe of the modern version of the EDT., go for Mercedes Benz intense( that has the gasoline note!) I hope that I was useful feel free to watch my other reviews 😉.

@@marco4uperfumes708 Thanks for you response,

Hello dear Nicolas Farah. I said in this review 2:09 that the gasoline note is tone down, not absent , tone down compared to the first batches but it's there( as in the reformulated version of Fahrenheit) , it is a great dupe with a touch of the parfum version, much more animalic than the EDT. from Dior ! I prefer the Maison Alhambra version , interpretation and the price is unbeatable for the quality offer. Yes it is a great dupe but again of the first batches of Fahrenheit. If you want a perfect clone of the actual version ( reformulated) , you need to go for Mercedes Benz Intense. I recommend both . Feel free to watch my other reviews 😉

Thank you Marco. I lean to manly fragrances more than the fainted scents of today, and i like beastly performing ones. So i will give this a try.

@@nicolasfarah2092 great 👍

Thanks 😅

Got the hitfire today and I like it. I have Benz Intense. They are similar. I can't afford Fahrenheit or don't care to. I love the Benz Intense scent.

Hello Whambamclick 1. Unfortunately, I heard that hitfire by La Rive was reformulated , even the bottle changed from squared to rounded and it lasted only 2 hours (again I can't confirm!) Other than that,I really love the scent of the first batch, it was quite similar to Mercedes Benz intense that is an extraordinary affordable dupe of it .( I recommend this one if you a lover of Fahrenheit EDT.) About fortnight that I owned multiple times, it is not a blind buy because the heavy note of suede (leather ), more a mixt of Fahrenheit le parfum mixt with the EDT. in my opinion it is not a scent for the summer at all but I personally adore it even if it is divisive . So my advice,go for Mercedes Benz intense 😉 I hope that I was useful, feel free to watch my other reviews 🙏🏼

@@whambamclick1 I heard that hitfire was reformulated, can you confirm that the lasting was impacted? In advance thanks.

@@marco4uperfumes708 Hey Marco thanks for that thorough response. I'm new to the hobby and really enjoy learning. The Benz is great and the Hitfire I got is a square bottle. I feel it would be very safe to layer them to change things up a bit. They really do dry down similar. Thanks again.

@@marco4uperfumes708 The bottle I got today is rectangular. It seemed potent to me. I will give it a thorough length test tomorrow and let you know what I think.

Hello and welcome Ralph Hornischer . Well after maceration it is not a direct clone but inspired by Dior Fahrenheit, a mix of the Parfum version + the EDT. , it is quite animalistic and after maceration it lasts on my skin 6 hours and on my cotton shirt 8 hours if you sprays between 8 to 12 sprays I hope that I was useful and feel free to watch my other reviews, including the channel of my colleague Pinoy Kiwi Scent , it would be great 😉👍🏻 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hk2aCv3batw.htmlsi=XW0qrxiT6CFG7XWq

Hello Larrie Sigurd, after a few months of maceration it is long lasting, between 5 to 7 hours on my skin And between 9 to 12 hours on my cotton shirts All this depending on the temperature 🌡️, humidity 🥵 ,skin pH , quantity of spray's, maceration,etc... I hope that I was useful, feel free to watch my other reviews 😉

Hello and welcome Manny05drummer. It is closer to the EDP . But I can not detect the boosy Rhum note and the leather - suede note in Fortnight is very realistic and a little bit animalistic / animalic, specialy if you let it macerate (after using it and spraying a few times 20x and removing the cap for 2 weeks) Do you like the Dior Fahrenheit DNA? If yes go for it, I personally adore this specific dupe of Maison Alhambra 💪 Feel free to watch my other reviews, waiting impatiently for your next comments 🙏🏼

@@marco4uperfumes708 oh yes fahrenheit is my number one favorite fragrance i have buy some clones in the past but some dont last and the own original fragrance have been reformulated the was a clone called temperature by lamis creation and was woody powdery that fahrenheit dna but little warm without the petrolium note but was good

@@manny05drummer a man that love and wears Fahrenheit & clones got quality taste and is very welcome on my channel 👍 Unfortunately many fragrances get reformulated, some for benefits optimization and some because some oils , natural or synthetic gets some skin reactions by a minority of the population! Fortunately Fortnight by Maison Alhambra is there and last decently on a cotton shirt.

@@marco4uperfumes708 that this have that cucumber note that sometimes i detect in fahrenheit

@@manny05drummer to my nose it is an aquatic note that smell like cucumber or perhaps a touch of calone, wet and a little bit salty , like in nautica voyage
