I’ve come full circle on my fragrance journey. When I first got into fragrance, I was buying clones and hyped up cheapies. Then I got really into designer fragrances. More expensive, but typically better quality in my opinion. Then I went all in on niche. Now I’m back to clones in this economy 😂. If I want something niche or expensive designer, I’ll just get a 10ml decant.
I'm at designers mostly. I bought a couple of cheapies that I don't use all that much. No niche for me atp. This hobby gets really expensive real fast.
Dua Brand is a great option too. Everything I’ve purchased from them is bang on practically 100% exactly like the fragrance they are cloning, sometimes even better. I’ve went CRAZY and bought I don’t know, 30+, I’d have to count. Worth every cent. I still like to get brand name frags too but as far as my experience goes, no one out does Dua for quality and price as far as clones.
I have both Elysium and Imperium and of course the differences are per the usual. Elysium is a much better fragrance , it has complexity and depth. Unfortunately it does not have the performance I would like. Imperium does not have the complexity and depth, however it does have the performance. Considering imperium is 10% the cost of Elysium, I am more than happy. I do wear both.
In high heat Imperium is such an amazing fragrance. I travel abroad to tropical destinations, and in the high humidity of Thailand and Jamaica I've had so many compliments on this fragrance! 🔥
I just got Turathi Blue yesterday and it was love first whiff! It has versatility but it smells very high quality once the scent settles, for how cheap it is its amazing! I have to give a shoutout to Dior Homme Intense. It was my 32nd fragrance because i knew that it isn't a great blind buy. First times i smelled it and didn't like it at all (that wood heavy smell in the opening) but i kept spraying the back of my hand so i can get used to it and day three when i smelled the drydown i fell in love. Not wasting a single drop anymore, i just go take a lungful from the atomatizer :) The Drydown is by far superior (In my humble opinion) to any other fragrance. (I only have designers) I am 3 weeks away from going full gollum with an empty bottle of DHI in some cave. Reserve Privee is 2nd place. I got into Iris frags because of you and i thank you for it
I just bought Azzaro chrome azure here in Denmark and I actually like it, it reminds me of Le beau paradise garden. I look forward to hearing your opinion.
Hey I have a question.... do you remember when u go into those fragrance shops in the mall and they always try to push their fragrances on the counter? (Cause they get a better commission when selling)... are those brands any of these now days decent clone brands? Like maybe I should have gave em a shot back in the day? Lol
Hawaii volcano- alexandria fragrances for me is the most realistic lime scent ive ever smelled only second to cutting an actual lime. It settles down nicely as well
Looking forward to doing two summer classics, Tommy by tommy hilfiger and Polo blue. Just copped both bottles however, I don’t know if it’s just me or both fragrances have been altered over the years. I wish you could get your hands on vintage bottles for both and compare to the new ones. I am so tempted to get vintage bottles from ebay but then again I don’t know if it’s worth it. Can anyone please reply if they can confirm my suspicions or if it’s just all in my mind.
Make sure you moisturize (lotion or whatever) after a shower. Spraying on dry skin gets soaked in VS sitting on top of the skin and continuing to blast.
First, I wanted to thank for great content! If I may offer a suggestion, please write the name of the product in the comment section where you list the "FRAGRANCES FEATURED IN TODAYS VIDEO". The link don't mention the name, so it's hard to find the one you want. Thanks again, great stuff :-)
some (usually middle eastern) brands making a fragrance that smells very close to a popular and very expensive niche or designer scent, for a fraction of the price
Watch the first ten and leave without complaining? It's not like you have to watch all cologne entries. That's the great thing about cologne videos. Sorry, that's just a sad thing to complain about.
Upgrade with 10 cheap fragrances? That makes no sense. If you are upgrading, you wouldn't buy cheap colognes. You'd upgrade to designer or niche. Not cheapies

@@LuisRiveraFigueroa Don’t do what I did and just start buying everything lol. You’ll end up with a lot of stuff that just sits on a shelf

I’ve done the same exact thing. Now I’m mostly buying from Alexandria Fragrances - Montagne Parfums and recently ordered from Scentual Obsessions.
@@Chris6815are those clone houses?

Really?how's imperium perfomance mate?

Edgewater is my favorite summer/spring fragrance!
Awesome lis 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you for this great summer list of clones.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Pinnace is a type of boat. That’s why the bottle looks like a boat.
Thought it looked like some fancy toilet but cool cool
I’m not sure how you were picturing yourself sitting on it, but you do you I guess.
I’m on my second bottle of Imperium. It’s an awesome clone. 🎉
i heard thats its weak performance so thats why i don't get it.
I gotta get that Aladdin's Lamp/Toilet Brush fragrance 😂
I almost spit out my protein 😂😂
Thank you for saying that!!!! 👏🤣🤣🤣
😂👍
I’ve been looking in all sorts of places but can’t even find references to it.
😂
Just got my amber and leather by maison alhambra... its also rainy here in the philippines, so it fits well
Amber and Leather is a Beast
I love Imperium
Summer cheapies! MF I had been searching for "summer clones gents scents" for a while. There's like one from a year ago. This is right on time!
Emperium is long lasting ?

Try Valentino aqua
@@yotoulminville8705 Looks very interesting in Fragrantica. I live in Northern Europe and i have never seen Valentino aqua anywhere :/
I just bought Azzaro chrome azure here in Denmark and I actually like it, it reminds me of Le beau paradise garden. I look forward to hearing your opinion.
So if Nitro Red is a clone of BR and Invictus …. Where’d the watermelon come from ???
I wore Imperium today. Great cheap blind buy.
I really like Asad, a great Sauvage Elixir IMO! Khamrah another great one I enjoy :) Great video as always
Hi, you need share places where buy this stuf in europe! Nice video 🤪

Can you do a TYGR clones video who include de New Lataffa Pise
Ay bruh.. when we gonna get them Extra Gents Scents for your bois back?
Sorry but I could never spray fragrance out of a bidet
Hey ash! Can you please do a video on photorealistic citrus scents?
Hawaii volcano- alexandria fragrances for me is the most realistic lime scent ive ever smelled only second to cutting an actual lime. It settles down nicely as well
Straight up thought that the white one was a gravy boat
Lol. It looks like a shoe stretcher as well.
In my opinion, it looks like a super new or toilet. 🤣🤣🚽
@GentsScents hey Ash, I hope you can do a side by side comparison of Pinnace White vs. Costal Breeze by Lucianno

I really like Pacific Chill, but that bottle tho, whyyyyy 😂😂
Victorioso WINNING!
Yup, great stuff
How is Pinnace White in Performance?
The original LV is in terms of longevity not worth the money.
I got Y EDP, Alexandria’s Black Panther, Versace Pour Homme for summer.
I need a cheap aquatic recommendation for Arizona heat
I live here in Scottsdale and just got Lattafa Suqraat. It is awesome for the AZ heat and smells fantastic
@@jamesgreenbank936 does it last long though? Or did you let it sit for months first?
Where can I buy fragrance world pinnace white?
Believe it or not fragrance world was the 3rd to clone Nitro Red. Lattafa's nardo red clone came out last year and smells just like Dumont Nitro Red
Can you please do a video on the fragrance world pinnace when it's released
My main man ‼️
My Imperium dissapears within 1-2 hours. Is that the norm on that one? I love how it smells, just wish it performed better.
Make sure you moisturize (lotion or whatever) after a shower. Spraying on dry skin gets soaked in VS sitting on top of the skin and continuing to blast.
Use Vaseline on neck and wrist ( just a little bit) then go for 10+ sprays you will see the difference
Divin asylum better performing elysium
Mine as well, doesn't last at all.
Hey Ashton if you do like a more fruity aventus inspired fragrance try out London by English Laundry that is a cheapie.
Hows the performance of liam blue shine?
Just moderate.
The projection is low.
Don’t buy u can nearly smell it I was really disappointed
Those BR540 clones man… It’s like watching rabbits multiply. Geez
Hey Ash, what about Lattafa Atlas...?
Have you tried Nitro Green?
Did y try the Pinnace Noir too?
Qué maravilla de vídeo!! Algún clon de Dylan Blue, por favor?
Como estas amigo! Intentar Acqua royale blue by fragrance world, icon by Antonio Banderas o incluso el expediente tiene un bueno clone tambien.
@@OGPapiFresc Muchísimas gracias!!
Doing gods work thank you
pinnace white VS hawas ice
Yooooo Noble Red 😮😮 you need to do a review on Noble Red for sure. I need to know which one is better.
Liam blue or jorge profondo better? help please
Same question
A pinnace is a boat. Pinnace White looks like a Billionaire's fancy yacht to me.
Where to get theoreme rn?

Where can you buy pinnace white at?
I bought mine from frag flex
Ash put us on sailboat cologne ⛵
im getting scentbird ad on this video 😂
Wow, i have a full can of Sauvage cool spray that's been sitting in the trunk of my car. Didn't know they were in such high demand.
You got $389- $500 In the Trunk? That's a no-no as the heat goes up it's gonna mess up the molecules and the scent
Or explode, at least your car will smell gooddtt!
Sauvage halfway decent spray 😂
Whats a clone fragrance?
some (usually middle eastern) brands making a fragrance that smells very close to a popular and very expensive niche or designer scent, for a fraction of the price
Its getting hot here in NYC lets go ash 💪🏾💯👏🏾 90.99 is not 19.99 🤦🏻♂️
That FW Pinnace looks like a miniature toilet for an action figure😂
That second one has the worst bottle I have seen.
Roja Elysium and Aventus cologne are both summer cheapies
$90.99? 😂
Hey now Ash, it’s “Inexpensive” not cheap. XD
Cost efficient or budget conscious... 🤔
Now we’re brain storming! Call Velma in here to get the minutes!
honorable mention: lattafa atlas.... NUCLEAR fragrance for the summer
I'm the 1k like 🙌🏿💯💯💯
Jints cints
Pro fun dough 😢
WHEN ARE THEY GOING CLONE GUCCI ENVY!?!?!? I mean come on cloners!!!
Que pasa Ashton guapo me like your contenido❤
Nitro red is meh... Idk about all the hype....
He works 30mins to an hour a day.
Why cant Ash trim his vids down to less tgan 10 min?
Watch the first ten and leave without complaining? It's not like you have to watch all cologne entries. That's the great thing about cologne videos. Sorry, that's just a sad thing to complain about.
we need all year versatile cheap fragrances that are also compliment getters for us college students T_T
👍👍👍👍👍
Adulting is realizing he is a salesmen.
2nd one looks like a toilet brush 😂
Love Ultime.. vehemently dislike Its Essential. The open is garbage.
🤘
Anyone disappointed by turathi blue? Bought it and lasts 3 hours
You're going nose blind. That scent will leave a musky scent even after you wash your clothes. Ambroxan is known to make you go anosmic.
Upgrade with 10 cheap fragrances? That makes no sense. If you are upgrading, you wouldn't buy cheap colognes. You'd upgrade to designer or niche. Not cheapies
you need to GYM it bro, that dad bot has 3 maybe 4 kids worth
Clones would be better if they took that middle eastern funk out 🤮🤮🤮🤮then they tell u let it sit for a year and it gets better 😂😂😂😂
you should hit the gym, dont be lazy man
I spend a lot of Time in the Gym,
because i love it !
But why should he ?
