I have clone rules. I’ve got to be saving min $150 over the original. I’ve got to want to own a full size original. Club De Nuit as good as it may be I don’t like it enough to own a full size regardless of price. I don’t want Aventus in my rotation for the next 5 years. I’d be happy with a 10mL decant $30. That 10mL is going to last me 2yrs mixed in with my Spring/Summer fragrances. I cool with that
Oud for Glory is my most favorite!! Lataffa seems to be doing a great job creating similar scents so i think i'm gonna try a few of theirs than go down your list
I bought CDIM & Armaf Craze both in the same order & both are fantastic. When I wear Craze I swear I be catching wiffs of myself all day, confidence booster for sure!
I brought a 30ML bottle of Tobacco Vanille in 2019 for about $260 but now the price has spike up to about $300 .. Sheesh . I may have to get the clone and save my last few drops of Tobacco Vanille for special occasions
Lattafa’s Woody Oud, Tobacco Touch, and Baroque Rouge 540 are the closest, nearly 1:1 clones that I have ever smelled. Every single person that’s familiar with the original scents has mistaken Lattafa’s clones for the original. These dupes are that good. They are definitely onto something over there. (Edit: *familiar with the original scents on MY skin*)
@righteousmasculine I got woody oud and oud wood and legit they are so different, woody oud is anamalic and powdery where as oud wood has a freshness to it. I don't see the similarities at all tbh
@@jordyharlem You're crazy. They are extremely similar. Obvisiously, Oud Wood is better. But, a novice would not know the difference. Especially, not in the first few hours.
I have fire your desire, and angel share and its probably just me but i prefer it over angel share. Its not as sweet as a.s and i do like that about it.
Tres Nuit by Armaf should be an honorable mention, it smells so close to Irish Tweed and I love both of them its so nice knowing I can use a great scent DNA for daily use without breaking the bank 🤙🏼👍🏼
Bro you the king! I trust you 100%. Did you try Tobacco touch from Alhambra and Club de nuit Limited Edition from Armaf? Love your videos man keep it up💪🏼💪🏼
Always wanted to try angel share. So from watching this I decided to pick up a bottle of fire your desire. Only niche I own are pdm fragrances like Carlise, Layton & Sedley.
I have to disagree I have Dior Homme intense from oil perfumery and I also have Dior Homme intense in Bottle and it is definitely not 100% maybe 65%. Something is off for me .
Darian the Bow Tie fragrance guy thanks for sharing this list. I’m definitely going to get some of these clones so that I can save my expensive bottles.
Amber Oud line is awesome but pricey as they should be,60ml/60$. La Yuqawam also but ppl are not interested in that. People wanna buy cheap to smell cheap.
The only bad thing about clones is a hit or miss sometimes. No batch is equal. Some come close to the original, but after a few hours, they start fading away. I don't know what's going on with the parfums industry lately that some colognes are kind of water down with the exception of all niche houses and top of the line colognes. One more thing about clones is that some small vendors don't use the proper way to store them in climate control storage, meaning if they are in cold winter areas and they keep them storage spouse to cold freezing weather or extreme heat, that affects the cologne to change the molecules levels loosing the originality and scent. I'm not saying don't buy clones. Just get it from reputable vendors that know what they are selling and can also recommend what you are looking for and expect from a cologne since it is personal and some scents are not made from everyone. Keep listening to this channel. This guy knows what he's he talking about.
@@A.mahdi0 the longevity is even better than the original. I don't really enjoy the opening, though. It's a lot more synthetic than Layton. The drydown is fantastic and virtually indistinguishable from the original (I am not kidding, I sprayed Détour Noir on my right wrist and at the same time Layton on the left and after two hours they became identical twins). Big recommendation BUT only if you don't care so much about the opening or don't mind a more synthetical note in the first 5-15 minutes.
I got an awful bottle of Detour Noir, it smelt like petrichor and nothing like the sweet spicy apple pie type smell of Layton. Nothing like it at all. I returned it.
Been Waiting for you to give your insight on the clone game. I have quite a few of these...it was your review of Oud Satin Mood that led me to Oud Satin. I'm not crazy about it though...I guess I have to work my way up to pull of something so sweet. Leans a little bit too feminine for my taste. I wanna pull the trigger on Imperium but Ive heard horror stories about the longevity. Excellent content.
When will you do a review of Oil Perfumery? As far as perfume oils go I think they are the best. Shipping process Is the only issue but would love to see your take.
Hey Darien, I also purchased CDIM way back in the day. I have that same bottle but 2 months ago I got my hands on the Limited Edition joint. Bruh this one drives a stake right through the heart of Aventus. All of the shortcomings of the original were remedied and the best points accentuated. If you pick it up, you probably won't spray your first CDIM again.
I was gutted when I finished my OG bottle all the other iterations after seemed to be weak and boom limited edition released initially I was skeptical but I took the punt it is better than Creed itself. Please go to JL, Selfridge's etc wherever they sell Creed Aventus, spray it on your neck, arms, wrist and clothes it won't even last long and yes... Reformulation really sucks doesn't smell the same.
Thank you man! Khamrah doesn't qualify as a dupe of AS. I haven't tried the Fire Your Desire but Kismet Angel was spot on. Has anyone smelled both Fire your Desire and Angel to offer an opinion of what's closer?
Great video my friend. I have been fallowing you since 20220 from here in Houston TX. I have to say that I trust you and am get Fire Your Desire instead to get Lattafa Khamrah.
Club Denuit "Untold" smell so good til I purchased 2 bottles of it! I also like the "Oud For Glory" by Lataffa. Smells just like "Oud For Greatness" from Initio. 👍
I made some Elysium pour homme in the clear bottle. The stronger one. With copy oil. I made the spray like DUA and Alexandria do. Order the oil and mix my own.
Yo Yo Phi I just came across your channel and I just subbed up I was following a couple fragrance and style channels but you're one of my brothers so you already know.... BUT you messed up YOU'RE A CRUMBOYS FAN BRO COME ON 😂😂😂 I am a GOLDBLOODED NINERS FAN been a NINERS fan since '77 my actual brother played for them from late 81- late 89 but nobody's perfect,keep achieving homie♦️👌🏾
Love your reviews! You should review the La Ree Fragrance line, I'd love to hear your opinions of them. They're highly rated clones and are supposedly made with top tier ingredients.
What's up Mr bow tie fragrance guy my brother they do have arm off untold if you want to know at a place called intense food you can find it online and there's a store here in Chicago on the north side on Lincoln avenue.
I enjoy dupes, (I’m recently getting into them) but I dislike how there’s no longevity in what I purchase.. my sibling said bc the price point is so low you can take it with you or put it in a small travel atomizer and reapply, but I like how original fragrances just project and last longer
For all the young men getting into fragrances and your not into your career and making money yet… Start here. Work your way up. Use these as a starter collection and slowly build and buy the originals one at a time (if that’s what you want)
I’m all for saving $$$ and smelling like a million leaving the house. What I’ve found is that in many cases a 9mL decant of the original is same price as the full size clone. Just get the real deal. If you got 20 bottles (clones or originals) you’ll never empty that are getting dusty on your shelf cause you just can’t get to em cause you got sooooo many what’s the point.
Makes sense, for a persona who’s just starting out on their collection these clowns can be a good start, however if you already built up a good collection and would rather have the original over clone 100 percent then yeah I would say go for the small ones for the price. Not gonna use it up all the way anyway if you have a lot just like you said
100% agree. It strikes the perfect balance. EDT is too harsh and chemical=y and the PP isn't that much different. Plus for 200ml bottle you get better VFM
Yes. Honestly we're sometimes just paying for a brand name and the hype. People that are obsessed with the "name brand and real deal" have a lot to learn. 90% of my clones last longer and have more depth to them than the og. I legit regret buying the og edp Libre before trying the clone of it I found. Libre doesn't last on me and isn't as intense or complex as I wanted. Libre is not woth the price.
I rather the real deal . but I definitely appreciate the content .oud satin mood is my signature I have baccarat,oud for greatness !.keep up the great content I’m tuned in 💯
I just received Bright Peach (and have never smelled the TF one) - I don’t get any peach. It smells deep and thick, heavy. Will it change at all after sitting for a month or so?
I went to Amazon on each one of these and the reviews are hardly close to the reviews given in this video. But, if you do not have the money, I understand if you want to smell ok.

This guy reminds me of the God Father. There is something special about dapper well spoken black dudes that is unmatched by anything else.
@BowTie FragranceGuy, I wanted to thank you for the tip, I purchased Club De Nuit Untold and was happy with its fragrance!
I have clone rules.
I’ve got to be saving min $150 over the original.
I’ve got to want to own a full size original.
Club De Nuit as good as it may be I don’t like it enough to own a full size regardless of price. I don’t want Aventus in my rotation for the next 5 years. I’d be happy with a 10mL decant $30. That 10mL is going to last me 2yrs mixed in with my Spring/Summer fragrances. I cool with that
I just ordered Oud for glory. Niche Fragrances are for top notch nights and events. Clones are for every day wear.
Oud for Glory is my most favorite!! Lataffa seems to be doing a great job creating similar scents so i think i'm gonna try a few of theirs than go down your list
I went ahead and subscribed to this channel. This review is the epitome of black excellence!
Lattafa Asad, CDN Sillage, CDN Milestone, Lattafa Fakhar, Missoni Wave, Perry Ellis 360 Red, Armaf Hunter Intense, Rare Carbon, 9pm, Turathi Blue, Tres Nuit, Legasi, Detour Noire, Odyssey
I agree 100% and would add these:
Toscano leather, supremacy not only intense, Kismet Angel, eternal oud, insurrection II wild and pure parfum.
@@Alexsignal90 I love Supremacy, and Insurrection. So good.
Sillage isn't really close to silver mountain water. Used to have both
@@randomrandom5740 That's true but I get lots of compliments at work while wearing it, and it smells very nice to my old nose.
Don't sleep on ted lapidus pokerface, so good
The Tux needs to be on this list too
I wanna shake your hand you’ve been freaking amazing definitely help me increase my knowledge and range
I bought CDIM & Armaf Craze both in the same order & both are fantastic. When I wear Craze I swear I be catching wiffs of myself all day, confidence booster for sure!
how many sprays on the Craze?
@@mobell7321 fresh out shower, moisturized skin, once on each wrist, once on each side of neck, so 4
@@vickwicked4260 don't forget center of your chest 🫡
@$noopyRUger good point so 5
Craze was the first fragrance I blind bought and promptly gave away. 🤢
Rare Carbon by Afnan. In my opinion it performs better than Ombre Leather
I brought a 30ML bottle of Tobacco Vanille in 2019 for about $260 but now the price has spike up to about $300 .. Sheesh . I may have to get the clone and save my last few drops of Tobacco Vanille for special occasions
Try Maison Alhambra Tobacco Touch
Oud for glory definitely one of the best performing fragrances I’ve ever had 💪🏾
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed night

Amber Oud Exclusif is a great PDM Layton clone
Like it or not CLONES ARE ALIVE AND KICKING 😏✌️💪
Tobacco touch is fantastic very close to a 1 to 1 👌
12:12 I will pick the Limited Edition version for sure. The scent is ALMOST 100% close to the "King" Aventus. Have you review it before?
Have you done review for ALT Frags!! Those are very affordable and have very similar DNA to the heavy hitters Tom Ford, PDM and MFK
Khamra is not a direct clone of Angel share, Maison Alhambra kismet Angel is the closest clone of Angel share.
Yeah, but Khamrah is a quality Scent end smells as goog as Angels share. Lomglasting and great Sillage.
I have kismet angel yep almost identical to Angel's share and fantastic performance longevity
What's up Mr bow tie fragrance guy my brother they do have arm off untold if you want to know at a place called intense food you can find it online and there's a store here in Chicago on the north side on Lincoln avenue.
The last one it’s close but it’s the lemon to synthetic

Maison Alhambra Fabulo Intense is 100% Tom Ford F@#$ing Fabulous!!
Nah bro fire your desire. Is close. Alexandria Brooklyn fragrance lover. SPOT ON!!
For all the young men getting into fragrances and your not into your career and making money yet… Start here. Work your way up. Use these as a starter collection and slowly build and buy the originals one at a time (if that’s what you want)
Or anyone who doesn't want to pay 150 for something they can make for 30.
Bowtie fragrance guy, you should check out royal equestrian by Alexandria fragrances. They say that one is a good clone of Layton..
Crafted oud! I’m waiting for it to come right now. My carved oud ran out 220.00 for 50 oz not doing it again
Got it today and it smells exactly the same! Got three more coming for backup!
I’m all for saving $$$ and smelling like a million leaving the house. What I’ve found is that in many cases a 9mL decant of the original is same price as the full size clone. Just get the real deal.

I limit my collection to a number, so I keep always the best and rotate. Full bottles are easy to sell.
CDNIM EDP is better than the EDT IMO. I even like it better than the Limited Edition Parfum/ Parfum.
100% agree. It strikes the perfect balance. EDT is too harsh and chemical=y and the PP isn't that much different. Plus for 200ml bottle you get better VFM
Bro said " paris' " corner i love it 😂
I got that frenetic delicieuse 🔥🔥🔥
Love your content but gotta question. Do you ever do any reviews on women's perfumes ?
🤙
Many say Al Haramain Laventure is the best Aventus clone...even better than Aventus itself in terms of longevity.
Much success! God bless!
Thinking man's money right here 👌
Oud satin is very different in my opinion sweeter it's solid tho
Sadly I have the Oud for Glory n I feel sorry if ppl got the OG n they smell almost close.
Love your content
Khamrah is an "inspired by" twist and different enough for people to prefer it over Angel's Share, as I do, since I object to overt boozy notes.
Nothing nailed Creed more than Rumz al Rasasi pour homme. The zebra bottle.
Great video my guy. Khamrah smells a lot like Arabians Tonka by Montalle
Borouj Perlador = PDM Carlyisle
Just passing Thur what's up big brotha ✍️
Let me get one of those extra-old bottles of CDNIM you got Lol!
also Tux by Maison Hambra is a dead ringer for YSL Tuxedo
I’d buy Tuxedo I’ve bought Kismet and I’m looking for THE TUX. I have a 5mL Tuxedo and ❤❤❤❤❤ the smell.
I have a decant of TF Tobacco Oud but it's nearly empty - Does anyone know of a clone? It's discontinued now, as it the extreme version.
In a lot of cases the clones last longer than the actual fragrances
Yes. Honestly we're sometimes just paying for a brand name and the hype. People that are obsessed with the "name brand and real deal" have a lot to learn.
90% of my clones last longer and have more depth to them than the og.

8:17 Timestamp says 'WOODY WOOD' 🤣

The last %5 they throw it off on purpose to avoid lawsuits
What about the performance on these? I have 2 Paris Corners and they both smell delicious! But perform very badly...
