Was literally waiting forever for someone to post a video with ALL THESE fragrances regarding how close they are to silver mountain water. Nice man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Smelly Cat if you say Silver shade is the closest out of all them to s was, then silver shade. I would use it daily and use smw for special occasions, Just love the DNA!
Derby club description reminds me to my pta meetings, none teacher complained but none appreciated too. I am still not sure those teachers liked me or hated me.
I LOVE SMW. So glad I found this video. I might get Armaf just bc the price point. I was happy you talked more about it at the end bc it didn’t fill any of your categories LOL.
Hey buddy! Please do a similar style video for Sauvage clones! You mentioned kuro in one of your videos but I couldn't find a half decent review on RU-vid. Counting on you!
Thank you! I have GIT and a few of the alternatives as well. Could do one soon. Was the first to review Sillage on RU-vid, before it was cool hehe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s7KgkHS6iRA.html
Man, this is the greatest Silver Mountain Water dupe video I've seen you have the most comparisons in one video! The only hang up I have is that you didn't include Sillage (Club De Nuit), which is the most commonly recommended dupe of this fragrance! I would really love to see you review Sillage and compare it to your findings here!
Hey, there. Village released much after I made this video. I've done a review separately 😊: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s7KgkHS6iRA.htmlsi=K4sdWr7gCJ_odpN2
Hi Nixon, I was gifted Al Wisam day on my birthday . Haven't smelt SMW but I can see how beautiful it must be. AL Rasasi has quality juices I must say. Great comparison keep it up
Hi Nixon, I recently came across your channel and loved the way you talk about the Scent. I really want to know that what did you wear at your wedding. Also suggest some fragrances for a Church wedding. Looking forward to hear from you. Love from India 🇮🇳
Great channel & Thanks for your review..............especially for including Silver Shade in your comparison video,i agree with you that it's the most underrated of the lot,but to me it's really good quality. Would be awesome for you to do some Ajmal reviews,i have quite quite afew,they fly mostly under the radar.
Hey, Stuart. I own just one from Fragrance World called Parfum D'Homme. It's very lavender-heavy I've heard Armaf's Futura La Homme and Odyssey Black are pretty close, but when I tried them they seemed very light. Not exact replicas. Paris Corner just launched one called Club Intense. Haven't tried that yet.
@@smellycatreviews I own armaf futura la homme and I agree it's closer to dior homme than dhi, but a little weaker, I do enjoy it though. I will search your recommendations, thanks 👍🏻
Great video, thanks bro. I have Al wisam and Armaf derby club and do prefer Al wisam coz of it's high quality as you mentioned. Parfums Vintage, which is also a Dubai based company, has their own take but did not try it yet.
I haven't tried any Parfums Vintage yet. I know they have many different Aventus inspired versions. I'll probably check their Elysium inspiration soon.
Hey brother! Thanks for introducing me to Scent Connection- do you have a video on this house and do you have some recommendations as to their best clones and original creations? Thanks again!
Thanks, Tret. Will do a video soon. I have all their fragrances. Like a discovery pack. I also have around 5-6 full bottles. Need to test them out properly to make a list. But my favourites are Oud Lala, Wild Mist and Nomad.
Good content, was waiting for this one. For future videos, if you add in Price point on perfumes that you mentioned in the videos, it would really help.
Hello there. Was waiting for your latest upload eagerly. Very enjoyable video. The photo of Elon Musk was a brilliant move. Obviously a man with great sense of humour. :). I would request you to talk about your entire Lattafa collection next. I am at a loss to decide which ones I should buy next.
Thanks, Anand. You noticed. 😃 I have video coming this weekend which features 3 lattafas. I'll try to do one dedicated one on my favourites soon. Maybe cover 8-10 of the really quickly. Will surely mention you in the video. 😊
Hi bro..and if we go without armaf sillige,wich is the greatest clone for budget ?and beatween al haramain blanch,ajmal silvef shade or afnan heaven which is the greatest,realestic and not synthetic at all the way(less synthetic)?
Thanks, man. I've been trying to find time. A lot happening recently. This is definitely not my kind of scent either. I didnt understand the hype around SMW. People around me seem to love it. Try revisiting it and see what you think. 😁
Hi Rixon, I wanted to know where I can get more Armaf perfumes from. I have been looking for Tres Nuit for so long and cannot find it anywhere. No one even seems to know about it. I might get Derby Clubhouse as well.
Hey, even I haven't been able to find a good place except some sterling outlets. Let me know if you find a place. I heard there's one called 100 degree perfumes that is a distributor that always has stock. Will check them out soon.
@@smellycatreviews Thanks Rixon. I think they shut down all outlets in Dubai a while back. They are selling only through distributors in Dubai. I only saw their products in Joanna in Dragon Mart, but the prices are 40 to 50% higher than the market. I will check out 100 degree perfumes though. I think they have a branch in Deira. I will update you if I find anything. Thanks again!
@@smellycatreviews Hi Rixon. Spoke to their Rep yesterday. They do have retail and you can collect and pay cash in their office in Deira, Dubai. Sadly, the fragrance I wanted was Tres Nuit which they are selling for more than what its price is. Its just difficult to find nowadays. Thought I'll update you. Thanks
Thanks, Sabbir. Unfortunately, I have around just 6-7 of them at the moment. But I keep adding to my collection ever week. Hehe. So will hopefully have enough soon.
@@smellycatreviews thanks so much for replying. I can't wait to see your video on "Swiss Arabian" house soon. But in the meantime, which fragrance is your favorite and why? Out of the 6-7 fragrances that you have. There are not many videos on RU-vid about "Swiss Arabian" house much but this one is a good one. Check it out please: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-djU6ANitDb4.html
@@smellycatreviews Thanks for letting me know. Very much appreciated. I ordered Pure Instinct, I can't wait to receive it :-). I will check out Shaghaf Oud Abyad in the future...
Carl! 😀 Funny you'd ask. I'm actually wearing one of them to work today. The two I own are Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia and Ferrari Radiant Bergamot. Both are available for cheap. Acqua Essenziale works slightly better for me.
I own rasasi Wisam day and Al haramain l'aventure blanche. You should definitely try blanche if not tried. For me it is better in terms of smell and quality. It's even smoother, cleaner, less metallic and more citrusy/crispy. It has no minty vibe which I find in rasasi. Longevity is better in blanche as well. Both are great and pretty close, but compared hand by hand for me it is easy win for Al haramain :) peace!
Hi bro..and if we go without armaf sillige,wich is the greatest clone for budget ?and beatween al haramain blanch,ajmal silvef shade or afnan heaven which is the greatest,realestic and not synthetic at all the way(less synthetic)?
Hi.and wich did you buy ? And if you know beatween al haramain blanch,ajmal silver shade or afnan heaven which is the greatest,realestic and not synthetic at all the way(less synthetic)?
Hey, Abd. These can be tricky. I get some of them but you never know exactly. Samawa is good and reputed and there are others like Fakhruddin Khuman are also pretty reputed. But please double check as most come from similar warehouses and you could get a bad one. I prefer mostly buying them at Duty Free or at places like Faces and Debenhams at the mall. Look for discounts.
Oh yea finally a Head 2 head for silver shade and al wisam day. I was debating for a looooong time before biting the bullet and getting shade. Would probably get a sample of Al wisam day now. Cheers! 😎
@@smellycatreviews At that point in my journey I was looking for a extremely close clone. nikhil and now yourself mention it silver shade capture the icyness/metallic opening much better than the rest. Now at my journey I dont mind looking for slight variation so I will definitely check out alwisam day, the sandalwood bottom/drydown is the thing I see everyone praise 😂
If my budget is $30, which of these two should i get : Ajmal Silver Shade or Al Haramain L'Aventure Blanche I've owned Armaf Derby Blanche and found it too synthetic/metallic and didn't enjoy it much. Will either of my options be a less cloying clone of SMW compared to Derby Blanche?
Derby Blanche, is lesser performing but slightly more pleasant. I would go fot Silver Shade, but if you're looking for something a little more mellow, then The Al Haramain would be better. 😊
@@smellycatreviews just ordered Silver Shade just based on what you said in your video. You said it was closest as far as ACCURACY. However, do you still stick to that and also do you still think Wasam is the most pleasant of the bunch?? I just can't do the"rose" note that much.
Hi.I want to buy dupe and similiar fragrance..I can buy afnan heaven for $24..ajmal shade silver $17..armaf sillige for $27..which is the good of these tree?
@smelly Cat Nice review bro. Do you know any middle eastern house clone for reflection man and elysium cologne? I would love to see a ranking video of perfumes by middle eastern houses. Swiss Arabian,rasasi,ajmal,al haramain,lattafa,armaf,al bait al dimashqi etc.
Haha. It'll be hard to rank the.lm as houses, although I have my favourites. For Refleftion man, I use Revolution by Killer Oud from Paris Corner. I have an Elysium clone from a perfume house called Sasan.
@@arunhari7678 If you're in the UAE, Sasan is in Sharjah. They deliver to Dubai at a rate. It's called Elysium, they don't change the name. 😊 It's really long lasting though I'd say a little rough around the edges.
That's almost double. Here in Dubai, it's almost three times the price, but my personal preference is Al Wisam. Silver shade I'd say, if you're looking for something closer to the original. It does the job pretty well. Smells good too. If you don't want too much of that metal, and don't mind spending, then Al Wisam. Overall scent quality is better and the rose makes it slightly more sophisticated.
exelent review of SMW clones - my favourite is Armaf and I purchased another bottle, now I have dilemma it was better buy Rasasi than Armaf. I picked that what I known, right now I know that next will be Rasasi - best wishes from Poland 🇵🇱 😁
Excellent video!! How about Rasasi Xtraordinaire Aromatic? It suppose to be another SWM clone! Do you have any experience? You should do more video's like this, one for Dior Sauvage, Aventus and Creed GIT clones, other people have done it, but most of them are not complete, and you have access to all the clones in your city and it will make it lot easy for you to make such a video. I think the best SWM clone have to be Silver Shade, base on price, Al Wisam Day price is more then double the price of Silver Shade, $25 Silver Shade and $70 Al Wisam Day, is it worth to pay the price difference for Al Wisam Day? it will be hard question to answer....the answer is going to be very subjective.
Hey, prices are a little diferent here. So for me, Al Wisam Day and Armaf Sillage are the best. Silver Shade is available so cheap everywhere else compared to the other two. And I like that one too. So, hopefully that puts it into context. Haha. Haven't tried Xtrordinaire yet. It's never in stock! 😊
@@smellycatreviews I have a few Rasasi perfumes and all solid juices, but Armaf perfumes did not impress me, if you can pick it up for $10-15, its ok, otherwise I look elsewhere, and better buy from proper perfume company 😊 in my book Armaf is not a proper perfume company 😊
Hi bro..and if we go without armaf sillige,wich is the greatest clone for budget ?and beatween al haramain blanch,ajmal silvef shade or afnan heaven which is the greatest,realestic and not synthetic at all the way(less synthetic)?
That's Great Bro I Am From Pakistan And I Was Searching For King Perfume But I COUdnt Got Here, Mostly These Frag Aren't Available Here And One More Thing Please Tell Us About The Performance And Sillage Of All Fragrances Thanks It's So Nice To See You Bro..
@@shamoskiduniya6370 King is really nice. See if you can get it imported from dubai. I'll be adding performance in future videos for sure as many viewers have asked me. 👍
Hey, man. I'm so sorry it has been delayed. I'm just caught up with so much to do during the lockdown. But will definitely try having a couple of videos in the next 2-days or so. 😊
My friend try mancera wild fruits very high quality you'll love it... But I also stocked up a few years ago on rasasi al wisam a few years ago for a great deal and bought 8"bottles it's really that nice.....
8 bottles! Hahaha. Yup, I own Mancera Wild fruits. That's why I compared the opening of Sierra to it. This was just cheap middle eastern alternatives, that's why didn't include it. 😊
@@smellycatreviews hello yes 8,bottles my friend.... And if the armaf CDNIM I bought 11 bottles I was blown sexy by the quality compared to Creed aventus...... That was around 5 years ago.... I still have 9 left as the juice is so intense..... Thanks for your reviews always interesting.... And if milestone is that good I will stock up on many bottles.... For the summer months for years to come.....
Ive tried Armaf Derby Club House Blanche . Ive noticed through stuff made by Al Haramain is way stronger than Armaf. Im going to check the Afnan after seeing this.
Al Haramain in terms of quality are much better in my opinion too. Afnan as well. Supremacy in heaven is a little bitter because of the prominent Blacberry. Almost stinky in a way. But if you wait a bit, it turns really enjoyable. Lasts long as well.
I'm getting sillage for 3100 and al wisam for 2800 ... I'm willing to buy to al wisan....is is worth considering price because I'm just worry about performance
Not sure of how good those prices are but those two are my favourites. Performance is better on Sillage to be honest, but Al Wisam Day has a tinge of classiness that Sillage lacks.
@@smellycatreviews okay thanks....i have to go with one of them...i have ordered sillage....its okay if it lacks some bit of classiness ...finger crossed 🤞🏻
