When you know what a particular fragrance smells like, especially one that has been discontinued a long time ago, and you know how to repeat it🎯. It seems to me that in the world of perfumery you will never disappear🤗💯
I LOVED Very Valentino. Finally bought some at a discounter some 15 years ago... by the time I went through the bottle and needed more, it was no longer around for me. So glad to see someone bringing it back to life. I will pick up a bottle.
That 30 second wait break was fantasticly hilarious! More of this please. I think Essential is for me. This is the second time in as many days I've heard L'homme Ultime mentioned. Might grab that and Victory. But of course, that it's essential is already sold out.
Ash, I like the Middle East clones but Alexandria and Dua make some bangers too. Dua’s Poseidons Absolu Elixer is spot on to the new Aventus Absolu and it lasts longer because it’s an extrait. I think you might really like that one, check it out.
Rasasi doesn't get the attention it deserves imo. Three of my faves from the house that I don't think you've covered are: Qasamat Rasana (an Aventus twist with a great apple note); La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers (apparently a Memo Irish Leather clone, though I've never smelled the original); and Sotoor Waaw (an original as far as I can tell with great cardamom, cinnamon, and walnut notes).
It's amazing that you were wearing Drakkar in the the third grade. I'd like to draw the comparison to Tiger Woods playing golf as a boy - The exception is that I doubt you had the advantage of your dad pushing you to become a fragrance master. You did that on your own! And you still pay your respects to your inspiration - Drakkar Noir! Well done.
Done with rasasi, finally got hawas last month cause it was "BEAST MODE" lasted about 45 min then skin scent. Asked people to smell me and they couldn't smell anything. Honestly I think they rode this hype train and the new batches are cheap quality
I had the same experience as you when I bought mine last year. First spray it was strong then after a while dead. Fast forward to today, I just sprayed mines twice on my wrist 20 mins ago and it filled up my bedroom. You have to spray it a few times and let it sit. Mines has been sitting for MONTHS and it macerated this whole time. This thing is monstrous.
@@LE_NOMAD90 that's what I'm doing right now, it's in a dark spot in my closet with the cap off. The thing is we shouldn't have to do this, it should come out of the box ready to go
A lot of people have had that problem with that fragrance lately. Could be a reformulation or the manufacturer is not properly macerating. Either way I returned my bottle because it's not my job to figure that out
EXACTLY! Honestly I think they're being shady and just trying to ride the hype train as long as they can because when people see influencer reviews, they're mostly from 2021 and the product now is not the same
@@jp976 You serious? You realize the price you're paying right? They're able to sell them that cheap because they're fresh off the assembly line. If you don't know anything about perfume, then your mindset is understandable, but waiting a few weeks to a month is hardly a big ask considering you're paying a fraction of the cost of most overpriced western designer scents. Want it "ready to go" out of the box? Then pay the price.
So, if Dareej is a clone of Valentino V pour homme and Victory is a clone of Very Valentino, then V and Very were extremely similar scents because Victory smells like Dareej in a different bottle. Now, I'm not upset because I was actually thinking about getting a backup of Dareej anyway lol. Maybe, Victory will change in the coming weeks because I literally just got it seconds ago.
Have any of the clone houses pulled off a Ralph Lauren Romance for men yet? Kills me that they discontinued that one. I was able to grab my father’s bottle before it went into his estate sale.
Other than a couple of locations, Rasasi It's Essential Eau De Parfum, seems to be a rare bird with little to none discounts. Is this the marketing strategy?
You did not include my favorite - spring - summer cheapie clone of Terre d'Hermes called Fattan . This one imo. is a true hidden gem and at $25 or under is a Steal !! I Have over 100 fragrances ( 75% clones ) , and this one is always in my regular warm weather rotation .
i am searching for an everyday scents living in an asian country. i cannot decide wether to go with ysl y edp or the intense one since both were loved by many based on my research. hope anyone can give me some advice or suggestion. (i only have azzaro mw parfum currently)
Lol just yesterday I smelled them both. My personal opinion? Intense. It smells like a sharp lemon aftershave. The regular edp is also amazing, much more of that woody masculine smell, probably objectively better and going to be more liked. They are at the end of the day very similar, but intense is more sharp lemon fresh smell, while edp is more Herby woody masculine. So go with whatever you think sounds better to you.
I don't know about you guys...but these new Rasasis didn't do anything for me. I guess I'm getting spoiled by other brands like Lattafa, Paris Corner and Fragrance world, but Rasasi packaging is very minimal. Nothing really. No nice presentation. The bottles, again, simplistic. And the scents they are trying to replicate, Drakkar? Really?? 🤮. Plus Rasasi is not cheap for a middle-eastern house. Easy pass for me on all of these.

Great to see some clones of discontinued fragrances. Also interested in that old school Drakkar Noir clone. Feel the Power!
Love Ultime. All time fav for me. Gotta try the essential
My favorite to! My signature. I have 2 bottles, 100 ml. One full, one half full. I consider myself a lucky man😁
@@owlyjim3335 I’ve got 10ml of my original bottle 😭😭😭😭😭

Haven’t heard much about Rasasi lately, so it was cool to see this video. I own a few Rasasi, and of the ones I own, I think Tasmeem is my favorite.
That 30 second wait break was fantasticly hilarious! More of this please. I think Essential is for me. This is the second time in as many days I've heard L'homme Ultime mentioned. Might grab that and Victory.
But of course, that it's essential is already sold out.
Love the idea of discontinued, fragrances, being resurrected. So miss Very Valentino, that's nice to know there is something close to it.
Ash, I like the Middle East clones but Alexandria and Dua make some bangers too. Dua’s Poseidons Absolu Elixer is spot on to the new Aventus Absolu and it lasts longer because it’s an extrait. I think you might really like that one, check it out.
Agreed, Dua makes some absolute bangers. I never know why Ash never reviews this brand.
Or Jo Milano Game of Spades, cloning many Bond no 9's. Dua took 2 weeks and had to cancel delivery.
I got the hades elixer but I haven’t smelled the original but it’s definitely beastmode
Rasasi frags have incredible potency.
Rasassi puts out BANGERS!
Im sure those will all smell better after spraying and with some time. Never got my nose on Ultime or very Valentino
Its Essential is about 65-70% L'homme ultime..this is a beautiful original fragrance. ..its an insullt to call this a clone.
Got Rasasi Fame at a cut price around 15 bucks in my country …really great and stays on my skin for 7-8 hours
Ash as "a child" cracked me up

Wearing Rasasi Fattan as we speak. Great Terre d'Hermes Clone need to buy 3 more before the price goes up
Which batch you have of fattan mate
Great haul video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
You should review the samples too.
You've got to do a state of the collection Ash.
So is Rasasi Fame BETTER than Oud for Greatness?

We need to know how they perform, please do a follow-up video on rassasi

Did the same thing with It’s Essential. Grabbed the collar lol
Hey Ash
Sabahat here from Pakistan
I had very Valentino many years ago......and I loved wearing it alot......happy to see alternative of it......
The clones are absolutely dominating.
Love it!
👌
So glad I got my victory awhile back when it first came out I was wondering what it was a clone of
So, if Dareej is a clone of Valentino V pour homme and Victory is a clone of Very Valentino, then V and Very were extremely similar scents because Victory smells like Dareej in a different bottle. Now, I'm not upset because I was actually thinking about getting a backup of Dareej anyway lol. Maybe, Victory will change in the coming weeks because I literally just got it seconds ago.
they have montale oudmazing clone and its amazing
It’s true. Hawas came in 2015.
Have any of the clone houses pulled off a Ralph Lauren Romance for men yet? Kills me that they discontinued that one. I was able to grab my father’s bottle before it went into his estate sale.
Great job Ash!!
Is there a clone of Bulgari Aqua Marine? I love that one sm and it's too expensive now since it's discontinued.
forgot to mention that .... yes that Rassasi is fire
Rasasi also has a clone off Valentino V it’s Daarej homme.
Other than a couple of locations, Rasasi It's Essential Eau De Parfum, seems to be a rare bird with little to none discounts. Is this the marketing strategy?
Que tal es la duración y la proyección de victory for men ????
Please review Al Nashama Caprice
When's the victory 47 review coming

Rasasi Fattan- best replacement for Terre d'hermes parfum.
Actually kinda neat they included samples in the box. Any chance Amber Alive was going after the OG Caesar's Man? 🤔
Lolz ash is downlow the best when it comes to reviews I must say, always adds some comedic value to his content 😂😂😂
Neeb, Cuba and Ash all did Rasasi today 🤔
The first Rasasi (It's essential) looks to me like a clone of Versace Man eau Fraiche
Rasasi has caliber to beat any designer fragrance
Can't wait for rasasi's versions of your galleria fragrances. 😂😂
I was so hoping you were reaching for ENVY
He got so excited when he realized it was a clone of drakkar noir lol like christmas day
Rasasi Prime performed well on my skin plus there's not many Oudmazing clone out there. There is none indeed, Absolute steal.
Does "It's Essential" have ROSE like Ultime ?
Yes but not as prominently
If that's like old-school Drakkar ... I'm buying it. Current Drakkar doesn't work for me. Strong Metallic Smell.
I wanted more unfo on that last discontinued one Ash! Now i gotta look it up myself 😂
Have you tried Rasasi Wood Excess Ash?
Can you review Kayaan classic?
You should revisit these in about 4 weeks.
Are there any nice BVLGARI AQUA MARINE clones?
Great video Ash
i am searching for an everyday scents living in an asian country. i cannot decide wether to go with ysl y edp or the intense one since both were loved by many based on my research. hope anyone can give me some advice or suggestion. (i only have azzaro mw parfum currently)
Lol just yesterday I smelled them both.
My personal opinion? Intense.
It smells like a sharp lemon aftershave.
The regular edp is also amazing, much more of that woody masculine smell, probably objectively better and going to be more liked.
They are at the end of the day very similar, but intense is more sharp lemon fresh smell, while edp is more Herby woody masculine.
So go with whatever you think sounds better to you.
Love this content
I thought Valentino was cloned in Daarej?
Daarej is Valentino V. Victory is (apparently) Very Valentino.
12:55 Ash, light a cigarette, let's talk about life like neighbors😆🤠🚬🔥
Man, please also do hauls for women!
AMSTERDAM!
Somebody clone Mark Cross!!!!! Please!!!
7:58 made me 😂 foreal at work
A Drakkar Noir clone??? What🫢
Hi Ash. I work at piper
Victory by Rasasi a clone alternative for Very Valentino by Valentino
Rasasi Fame, a clone of Initio’s Oud for Greatness
idk why no one ever talks about entebaa
or ana abiyedh & hayaati
Ash did years ago
@@flightgravity7483 yh ik but it was 6 years ago and never ever heard anyone talk bout it despite a german girl
Ultime is nice until it dries down. Then it’s just a generic designer woody smell that could be almost anything else.
Clones!
Hawas came first 👊
i heard invictus first come in 2013 ?
YOU ARE LATE!! ⏰ lol 😂
Clones clones clones
👍👍™️
Jesus loves you❤.Repent of your sins and turn to Jesus before its too late❤
Is this a joke? I only pray to Zeus, king of all gods.
Jesus was a myth
hilarious

Looks like someone is sponsored by clone houses
Clones are IN. Ash is just following what is trending and clones VERY popular right now. And I think clones are here to stay!
Anyone else not care at all for clones.
That's ALL I care for! And my wallet thanks me.
1 niche = $400
10 to 15 clones = $400
🤔
Could you guys remind me what did he say he said to wait how many seconds
