Agreed 💯, but even the clones double/triple in price after getting hyped. Maison Alhambra The Tux was like $18 when it was released, now you can't find it for under $80-$100.
@@santanarodriguez881 yeah.. that’s how capitalism works.. when everyone wants the same.. prices go up.. you have to wait until it goes down.. I never saw the tux on stock to be honest 😂
@@ismael85 back in January my local discounter was selling the new Armaf CDN line (iconic, urban man elixir, untold) for @$39. I only picked up urban man elixir and said to myself, I will wait till they come down in price and get the rest. You know the rest of the story, boy was I wrong! 👍🤦😞
Thankful for the honest opinion for these "superclone fragrances"😊 I've tried this house Maison Francis clones, really close to originals. Now I'm going to test Parfum de Marley-versions. People always compare the 100% similarity to originals, put for me these clones are many times replacement for the originals JUST because their difference IS the thing! They could be many ways BETTER than the originals, like I've seen with the clones like in watches these days!😊
I got oud wonder today and it's great. Really great actually. Smells excellent and I could smell it around me for hours while in town. I'd deffo like to try some more. Cheers for the helpful vid.
I just bought Moonlit Night a couple weeks ago and man is it going into my fall/winter collection. It smells like seasonal bliss and is 99% accurate to D&G: LN. Great if you want to mix and not have to search the interwebs for another bottle of LN (though once im out, def getting another OG)
Great list Ross! Fragrance world do seem to be on top of their game right now. Just got in Invicto legend ...really nice!! Got Bavaria Man Intense on way ( Man In black clone)
I get around ten hours on imperium. I detect it for about 6-7hrs, but got a compliment around 9-10hrs telling me how good & potent it is. For those of you saying you can't smell it after 30mins is probably because you went nose blind to it.
Ross, you have peaked my interest in clones and I have picked up several that you have recommended and they excellent. I received Vibrant Vetiver Delight yesterday and it’s fantastic. I find it to be in the same ballpark with Lalique White which I really enjoy. Thank you for doing these clone videos as I’m to frugal to spend a lot of money on fragrances. Have a great day!!!
I own 2 from F.W. Star Man Nebula is a fantastic boozy gem clone of Pure Malt (discontinued) with 95% accuracy. Imperium is the other that I love the citrus notes.
I love a good clone and thanks for bring these to my attention. One that I have been searching for is a dupe of Les Elixirs Oud. If you've ever gotten your nose on something similar or a clone of it, please let me know.
Im building my collection, currently buying the Spicebombs. Theyre all so good. Og is here already, and ill get a new package cause the old one leaked a small tad, but nothing bad. Essentially a free bottle of og spicebomb. Extreme arrives tomorrow and infrared next week. I also want infrared Edp and Night vision Edp. Only one im not looking to buy is the Night Vision Edt. Just cause the edp seems to be much better and performance on the edt is bad.
"Renheit le parfum" isn't available here in UK sadly, there's only "reinheit" by fragrance world which I bought and doesn't project & last long either.
I though I was going nose blind after getting my bottle of imperium, but even my wife couldn't smell anything after an hour. 2-3 weeks later it did get better, but still had to spray heavy, especially on clothes for it to last more than 4 hours. The scent is 🔥 and very addicting, but yes the juice is weak, below average EDT at best after it macerated. At least it is getting cheaper, just saw it online for $22. I might consider getting another one if it drops below $20. I personally would never pay more than $40 for any brand of clone.
Yes, I am experiencing the same issues past several months. That's why I'm hesitant on buying anything else from Fragrance world until the prices go down. All of these will eventually be around 20 dollars so it pays to wait.
@@paulrobertson3079 exactly 💯 I fell for the hype and overpaid for Imperium months ago. Now that I know what to expect, $20 or less is a fair price for the way it performs.
I have the Paris Corner version called Trillium and even after maceration (a month), it smells great but is very weak, I need to over spray....Might be the scent profile, the original Roja Elysium seems to be weak also, as per Fragrantica... I do think it's overpriced... I will try to be patient with dupes and wait for launch prices to be lower. Prices are still pretty decent for Lattafa and some other companies though...
The experience I have had with so far with fragrance world is - They get very very close but the performance is slightly disappointing. I guess for what you pay you can’t complain. What happens with me is I buy the clone, enjoy the scent profile then buy the OG. Alas I spend more in the long run. I now buy decants of the OG and then see if it is full bottle worthy. Costs me less in the long run. I do have a few amazing clones mainly for Niche. For designers though clones don’t work for me any more. In summary though if you are buying clones fragrance world are the best right now IMO.
I only have one FW perfume, the Imperium, smells great, but would fall into the "30-min and its a skin scent" crowd. so disappointed with this purchase given so much hype, if it lasted 4 hours I would be happy, lucky to get two on clothes, and it's not nose blindness, I have asked other if they could smell it on me, they have to press their noses to detect it. hoping maceration perks it up, but not much hope, been a month already, it may end up as a bathroom air freshener.
@@Fragman-Scooptheir ideal extreme clone, Spectre Ghost,Suits, Legion, Moonlit Night, star man nebula and a few others I own are powerful performers. I think its more like it depends on which ones you get because I did my research on the ones I bought beforehand, and I haven't been disappointed with any of them performance wise yet. Putting Renheit through its paces now but they absolutely have some BEASTS like Spectre Ghost and and Nebula are every bit of beast modes for me on every category.
1. Eau de spice will be here Thursday 2. F possibly will get (along w "Yeah") but have fakhar already and it may be redundant. 3. Renheit parfum is in my favorites to order. 4. Ordered 2 bottles of Essencia l'homme a few months ago. Its good and only an experienced nose will grasp the difference in drydown from the original. 5. Imperium I have and Im not sure if its not close enough or I just don't like the dna because Ive never smelled the real Elysium. 6. Proud of you absolute is in my favorites to order. 7. One and only moonlit night I bought because the fragrance influencers spammed videos about how irresistible it is. I do not like it at all😞
Yes, I do have it. It smells amazing, just like the OG. Im not sure on the lasting power as I havent really compared the OG and MN. I would think that the OG might last a little longer but for a fraction of the price to have an almost 1:1 scent its worth it.@@qdavis9378
@@Isoreps smells very synthetic. Cremo spice and black vanilla is the far better option. Smells fantastic but doesn't last more than 4 hours. At $20 for 100ml though, I just keep cremo in the car and re-apply it when necessary.
People need to realize nose blind is real I get it all the time myself and my nose sucks too but other people smell me so don’t let reviews like frag trolls scare you from buying fragrances
I understand clones, I just personally can’t get behind it. It’s like wearing fake sneakers to me. Sure it may look/smell the same but I know it’s fake.
