Nice, you should do this with every perfume brand and put ..."what to buy instead" That gives the video a more positive vibe and calms our appetite to buy new fragrances.😁
Great video Ross! I recently picked up Fakhar Gold for about £2.75 couldn't believe my eyes it was that price, I got very lucky, sold from a genuine UK vendor heavily discounted. Its got to be the best value pick up in collection ⛏ It definitely needed some maceration but i've found a few spritzes works well as a gym scent 👍
Not only are you the MOST consistent in the community, but you offer BY FAR the most value. TLTG is the pinnacle and I couldn’t be more sincere about that. Every video is an absolute joy to watch
I wanted more pineapple for summer. Got a few. Qaed Al Fursan is an absolute gem at that price. Atomizer is weak so spray more. Thanks Ross. Love lattafa but us viewers need these videos. Understand it's hard to be negative. And at lattafas prices i don't mind rolling the dice with blind buying. It's kind of a treasure hunt. And i have no problem finding homes for the ones i don't wear.
I would love a Ross video going through the top 20 designer brands (a niche version would be cool too) and what your favorite from each one is. Fav and maybe runner up.
I appreciate the honesty, most every fragrance house has one or more fragrances, that less than desirable. I would like to see more reviews like this. Because we all have those that we wished, we never bought, if we are being honest.
I love Rave Now. I do love using it for layering with Explorer and other fragrances. On its own, I like it, but I would get Dumont Nitro Platinum for a stand alone pineapple fragrance. I wear Rave now on its own and think its a great party scent, but I think I would like a little more depth.
I prefer Rave Now to Qaed Al Fursan (which I returned because of the cheap scent - maybe a bad batch?). Rave Now layers nicely with CDN Urban Man Elixir and also Supremacy NOI.
As always, another good video. I appreciate your opinion. I bought fahkar gold for $19. I did a side by side with the original and theyre close enough for me where i didnt need to spend the $77. There's not enough difference that the average person won't be able to tell 😊
I agree with you on Rave Now as it has this pineapple and burned rubber smell to it. I own the bottle and the maturation does help it a good bit but there are just way better options. I also own cdnim limited edition and it blows it out of the water. Layering rave on top of it makes it worse also.
@@TLTGReviews Couple of places actually. I’m just not going to promote places on your channel like that. A couple of Google searches could point people where they need to go.
The worst Lattafa has got to be Eternal Oud. It’s simply horrible and on top of that it will stain your clothes badly. Some RU-vid reviewers hyped it to death, and after they influenced me to blind buy it, I blocked them. One of them the dude of the Fedora hat. Lesson learned the hard way.
I have that same hat. As usual, great video and also sports attire. The Tabacolor clone you spoke about, Tabac, was a huge disappointment for me. I have to wonder if I received a bad bottle because holy shit does it smell repulsive. It was only like $20 so I'm not super pissed off or anything but I am de🎉disappointed. Oh well, you can't win them all. Thanks again Ross. I appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos top notch. See you on the next livestream.
@@fatshady5714 when i first started, i got alot of hype maison alhambras but the only ones that stick out is Exclusif Tabac, Tabac, Jean Lowe line, and the Tux. the TomFord clones are ok (Tobacco Touch in particular) but alot of the rest open with strong alcohol and doesnt really last past 4 hours. I think other houses do better work. Especially the ones doing twists rather than trying to be 1:1
I got pretty lucky with my first 3 purchased clones. MA Victorioso Victory/Legend and PC Emir Vertex are still among my favorites. But then I bought Lattafa Wajood, thinking it would smell like the beautiful mossy aquatic Kenzo Homme EdP. On my skin, it smells like I just had a wrestling match with some fresh-cut 2x4s from Home Depot. Can't win 'em all.
I feel personally attacked with 2 of my fragrances that I like being on this list. 🤣 Its all good. I totally agree, though. Rave Now and Fakhar Gold isn't the best, but they're very enjoyable to me. I use Rave Now these days to layer, but if I get a standalone pineapple fragrance, I'd get Dumont Nitro Platinum. The extra $10 over Qaed Al Fursan sounds like it would be well spent. Fakhar Gold isn't as good at 1 Million Parfum, but I am not able to have the other big clone shipped to me, so I went with Fahkar Gold. I think its excellent. My only complaint is that the tuberose and white florals don't hang around longer. However, since its an extrait, it does sit a iittle closer on skin, so its better in an office setting where you don't want to be filling a room.
I recently purchased Rave Now by Lattafa from a reputable seller. Unfortunately, my experience with this fragrance has been disappointing. While the sweet pineapple note is present, there is an unpleasant underlying scent that detracts from the overall fragrance. Given this, I would recommend considering other options in the $15-$20 price range. You have been warned.
I have to agree with Fakhar Extrait Gold. It does smell nice, but at least on my skin it is little bit more generic sweet than what it is floral, and it is also missing the performance of the Paco Rabanne. The least underwhelming Lattafa for me is Ejaazi, and Fakhar Gold doesn't even come close.
@@hillardschlachman6610 yeah I blind bought it because everyone was kinda giving it good reviews. It just wasn't for me and now I'm stuck with 2 bottles of it lol
I'm gonna jump onto the "hate me" train and say something that is DEFINITELY gonna be considered blasphemy. In my opinion, I think Boss Bottled Night is FAR superior to OG Boss Bottled EDT! (Yes, I own both, and yes, I've compared them side by side) There, I said it! LOL! UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!!
I have to agree with fahkar gold when I got it immediately after trying it I was so underwhelmed by it waited weeks and went back to try it again and tought the same
I had a different experience. The first time I tried it I thought it was mediocre but after a couple of months I revisited it and was a much better wearing experience for me. I agree with Ross though... The original One Million parfum has a much better scent profile I prefer.
You didn't trigger me on any of these, although Fakhar Gold is a solid frag I do understand where you are coming from, there is a fuzzy line, when the OG is not that expensive and the clone not that cheap, unless the clone performs much better and has a particular twist you prefer, it's probably better to go with OG, this is subjective. By far the best Lattafa I have purchased this year is Honor and Glory. holly shift that stuff is good. not just the smell, but longevity, quality and it is not even a clone, lattafa knocked it out of the park with that one.
I only and always speak on prices in the USA. Outside of my country has no relevance to my wallet. Nor will I experience purchasing fragrances outside my country
@@TLTGReviews Yes i understand, what i mean in europe is very good pick for that money, brands like afnan, lattafa, zimaya atc.. are like.. from 12-30 euros.. its nice. btw like your videos, good info always.
There is not 5% difference in Rave Now and Al quad fursan. Aqf has a bit of spice but in dry down you really can't tell difference. Rave is larger bottle and last longer.
Qaed Al Fursan smells like pineapples that are just starting to go bad to me. Not a fan. But, since it's my only pineapple fragrance, maybe pineapple fragrances just aren't my thing? 👍👌🤘✌️😎
I wager 1 [special yuk] least liked vs your 5. And it is........Grey Flannel. My stomach turns every time I get a whiff of that thang. What say you sir. 😁
I wish you made this video 2 months ago...fahkar gold is 💩 sprayed it in the air when I got it and now it's just sitting here. The other reviewers on RU-vid disappointed me deeply
I was and still am thinking about getting Rave Now because I heard it has a fresh pineapple smell to it and I love the smell of pineapples. I have a few pineapple colognes in my collection.
