There's a clone of TF tobacco vinille at primark.. It's called night tree or something.. Recently tried it and I was amazed.. Do try that one too.. And Zara's Lisboa smells like ADG and it's really nice..
I have a few of these myself and agree with your views! I popped into Asda the other day and saw a range of fragrances that I had not see before (I don't go in Asda too often). They looked intriguing! I didn't try any of them as I was in a hurry! They may be worth a review!
Really good cheapie that smells even more like black orchid is calvin Klein obsession night for men. It's even closer than pour homme noir by Primark. Give it a test you won't be disappointed. Great video man I just got the 2018 vibrant leather by zara and it is a very close take on aventus you should try that one out too.
Really appreciate this one Chris. Yardley also has a gentleman line that's available here in NA, some of which have some very appealing notes, but I can't seem to find a single review... oh well. Shame about the fragrance turnover rate in Zara, since I have so many of their great ones - Night Pour Homme IV (Aventus/Vibrant Leather), Gourmand Leather (Ultra Male), Tone Indeterminee (Black Phantom), Norrland (TdH EdP), Teahupoo (Invictus Aqua 2016), D Collection (L'homme), Y Collection (La Nuit de L'homme), 9.0 (Dior Homme) and Ambre Noble - but at least there's always more coming out each year. Definitely the brand to watch.
Great video mate, thanks for sharing. Couple more worth trying - the Mario Falcone EDT from Poundland, pretty solid oud based frag, and Beckham Homme, a great peppery, masculine fragrance.
Great review, pretty much bang on about the Primark ones. Courage is abysmal in terms of performance. Pomegranate & Black Tea is a great clone! Amber Noir is great too, and it's on sale at the mometn too (3 euro over here!)
One of the most complimented fragrances I've had is yardley gentleman legacy parfum,,, one of the best cheap fragrances lasts long, the compliments I get from this is fabulous,,,, I had my friends buying it they love it and £9,99 I'm onto my 9 th bottle,,,,,,,, fragrance direct
Chris you might grab the Aldi hotel collection dupes. Sandalwood and Jasmine is exactly like Santal Blush sprayed tester in store and knew it was same scent. People are asking how they can do it, well if the market is there and it's names different what can Tom Ford do? Be good subject for a vid. Haven't worn all day yet but let's see, for a fiver you can not go wrong
Hi thank you for this review it's very helpful. I was hoping you can. do a review on Marks and Spencer and Next mens fragrance. The reason for this request is because no one is doing these apparently great smelling fragrances. Thank you
@@FRAGMENTAL I didn't even know they sold mens fragrances. My mother bought one called "Rouge Nights" it's for women. It lasted a long time for the price. So I thought I might as well see what they have to offer in the men's section. BTW you're welcome!!!
It is 1:30am late here in the US but I have a coffee and I really enjoy this kind of video. I am not sure what High Street is. Thanks for doing this video. Best regards James Underwood
Hey thanks James, I hope the coffee doesn't keep you up too long! High Street is what we call a street with stores on. So it refers to stores you walk into as opposed to online. Do you guys have a term for that?
Yep, It called a mall here in the states. Here in the PHX AZ area where I am at, we have indoor and open-air malls. Thanks for explaining that for me. Best regards James Underwood
I am sure that I am not the only one responding with this but David Beckham Instinct gets all the hype and I do own it - it is a good citrus and fougere spring and summer cheapie and definitely worth looking into.
I'm going to keep trying Primark for the Noir Extreme and hope they get it in. I'll check out the others too - already bought Pomegranate & Black Tea, Instinct and Lone Wolf but can't open them til Thursday! Pomegranate & Black Tea from the tester in store lasted on my arm for 10 hours and whether it's feminine or not, I will be rocking it! Will check out the Poundland ones as well. No Zara close to me sadly. Other ones you could try are from River Island and New Look who have mens fragrances. Also Lidl - I bought three - X Bolt and No 1 are ok but not long lasting. Dark Essence EDP is much better and Nigel @ TwoScentsWorth says one of the others is a cracking Aqua Di Gio clone. Thanks for the heads up on these.
Hey David, yeh keep checking Primark. I couldn't find anything and Lidl. I looked at RI but I couldn't test, they only had two choices and were more expensive than anything else here. Thanks for your comment 👍
Checked Primark a few minutes ago and still the same small selection sadly. My RI had about 6. They smelt ok but not tested longevity. Poundland here only had Umbro and Insgnia! The hunt goes on!
*IS POUNDLAND LOCATED CLOSE TO POUND TOWN?!? IF SO... I NEED TO CHECK THAT PLACE OUT!!!* 😉 Great Sunday video. Love these longer format Sunday videos. Glad you picked up some Zara frags. I have a love/ hate relationship with Zara! Love their frags/ hate that they discontinue EVERYTHING!😡 Awesome to hear your take, my friend!🙌
If you're ever in Next, try no85. I'm on my 2nd bottle and will buy more as I use it up. Would like to read a proper opinion on it, longevity is really good and so is price, Thanks.
I went into Next and there options were poor. They only has three and you had to buy them as a pack. Obviously that will differ from store to store but I did want to include Next.
Hi,im newish to the fragrance journey,but have over 50 including all the popular ones but i love clone/copy cheapies.A poundland gem i found was Insignia sport.remembering the original Insignia from the mid to late 80s i thought i would give it a go.To my surprise its very close to Caralina herraras 121 new york and another cheapie Playboy New York,both very similar with that lavender,purplish smell.very nice.i will be doing my own review on all 3 soon.great channel and content.cheers!!!
Amber Noir is a take on Jo Malones Oud and Bergomot. I bought amber noir, lime, basil and mandarin and Pomegranate and Black Tea from Primark. Along with Noir when I did some investigating. I agree Pomegranate and Black Tea and Noire are the better performers.
FRAG-MENTAL it is great value I only got the 20ml to try as it was last one when I got it last week. They had one called Oud Noir in dark bottle on ladies section. I got great performance on that one. Going to pick up that one next time.
Good work! Next time you're in Next, have a spray of Urban Elements Marble ...... Similar vibe to Aventus. £15 for 100ml is great value too for a very, very nice summer scent.
This just popped up on my feed and this was the one that introduced me to this RU-vid world. Then I watched all of the pp vids I could find because of you and bam 💥 here I am 😂
Interesting video, I might look into getting some Pomegranate when/if I go to Primani in Leeds. Being from York are you a Leeds united fan Chris? Keep up with the good work.
FRAG-MENTAL now you have said that I detect signs of it in your voice. Changing the subject... Do you ever go in Wetherspoons near the station? My daughter is at York St John's University and she works in there.
Went and tried the Primark noir pour homme today, the opening was slightly annoying but after about an hour the dry down is excellent and longevity really good. If you layer a great opening frag with no lasting power to this, it could be mental. Just a little experiment or two. Maybe you know someone with a large collection and a true frag nose.
Whaaat? No £3 Brut?! It's a classic! I can't go in Primark, it's terrifying. Like a tank full of piranhas in there, I don't even dare walk past the front. I nearly bought one from Sports Direct from a range called Fire Trap. It smelled pretty good from the tester and was about £5 i think. They'll try to sell you a massive "bag for life" and a crap magazine with it. Also, Lynx do some that might be good. Theres one with vanilla and oud but no tester in store. Think they are about 4-6 pounds from Wilko and Tesco.
Had a nice time with a cup of tea here, Chris! Discovered from German perfume brand 4711 their Acqua Colonia Line. Have Mandarine & Cardamom + Lime & Nutmeg. Both created by Geza Schön. Smelled pleasant fruity fresh and acceptable performance for a EdC. Very cheap (50 ml unter 20€), good sillage (good amount of ISO-E Super), respray on shirt every 2 hrs. gives a fresh ride through the day! 🍵😎👌
FRAG-MENTAL I did my homework and always will be. There's more than enough to discover in life and in perfumery. SOTD: Creed GIT (1 spray). Cheers, Chris 🍸😎
mario falcone parker 150ml £1 is in poundland right now. it really smells like yardley english blazer that was big in the 80,s and 90,s. total clone of it. not a bad thing in anyway.
FRAG-MENTAL but i didnt wear or got it since then but the longevity and projection back then was good but that was before 2015 the darkest year for fragheads 😂
Instinct was the original Beckham frag and had great longevity when it was released in 2005. It’s a copy of the original Armani from the 80s but also smells similar to the now discontinued Masculine by D&G.
Shockingly... Beckham Homme is the winner of my price to compliment ratio. Had an ex that took my bottle and sprayed it in her car. That said, she flat-out stold my Rochas Man. A good cheapie for the gym, or doing errands around town.
Haha mate one of these is appearing in my next vid next week ,won’t tell you which one but I get slightly better results than you lol 😉😉,try yardley citrus & wood very good quite close to terre d’hermes and only costs about £12 👍totally agree with the Beckham scents,smell good but performance on all the ones I’ve tried have been shocking,great vid matey enjoyed it 😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Yes sorry! I'm encroaching on your territory with the cheapies! 😆 If it's Blanc I really love the scent and keep willing better performance! I'm going to keep trying with it in the hope my skin decides to give it a chance. 100 sprays should see me through!
I’m having a massive cull on my collection have over 170 bottles and am probably getting rid of about 90 😳😳😳😳mine is more about having some uniqueness whether it be designer or niche I have too many that are too samey samey and also changing it up on how and what I purchase separating my personal collection from my channel purchases and if they overlap then all well and good but going to start buying Fragrances for review and if they don’t make the grade then I will be shipping it straight out once reviewed instead of keeping too many mediocre fragrances for the sake of it , just ordered fico di almalfi , kisses rain and eiderantler (from January scent project )and got in 2 sizeable myrrh and Tonka samples (chris is right lovely scent)if you haven’t tried it I highly recommend you at least get a sample to try and am eyeing up Bergamust by Gallagher Fragrances and now you’ve got me interested in Carlisle (damn you lol 😂)👍👍👍
Those ead fragrances are in the states at stores called dollar tree where everything is a dollar. The three clones you got are as follows Hot waves Dior farenheit Only ead just cavali by Roberto cavali Ead extreme d&g the one
FRAG-MENTAL definitely bro..love the zara fragrance..looking at it’s exclusive oud and amber noble line..great cheap fragrance 👍🏻..keep the wonderful videos coming bro!..🤓
