    I got 4 incredible dupes for ya:
    Mont Blanc Individuelle - Creed Santal (Incredible soft (as you would say) Gorgeous Fragrance)
    Luciano Coastal Breeze - Louie V Pacific Chill (a awesome Citrus explosion)
    Jimmy Choo Ice - Dior Homme Cologne (Wow, beautiful - light and a great value)
    Reyanne Insurrection Pure II Sport - Aventus Cologne ( could not believe how accurate and awesome this fragrance and this dup is. This could be the very best Aventus DNA!
    Thank you for the great job you do. Bonus - Harmony Code Intense EDP. A great dupe of Armani Code EDP

    I have Jack Of Clubs , and just purchases new Bleu Electrique clone Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice . Jack Of Clubs was $35 when it first came out , but has received a lot of online hype and price has gone up . The Lattafa a bit more affordable . In the mid I find the Caprice a bit more closer to Bleu Electrique , but in the dry down , Jack Of Clubs is the clear winner . If you like citruses and spices , I would get the Jack Of Clubs . If you prefer blue fragrances , the Caprice is the one you want . To get both like I did is redundant !

    I would add, Night Star - Emper, this is a clone of a discontinued fragrance Night Flight - Joop, a very citrusy, aromatic freshy, long lasting, and cost about 15 bucks, if you can find it.

    Great video Justin! I have Gary's Den, Hawas and Insurrection and they are all awesome! It's funny people say Hawas is a clone of Aqua 2016 because Hawas actually came out before Aqua 2016 but they're both in the same ballpark so I see why they get compared. A 1 to 1 clone of Aqua 2016 is Barrett Fragrances version called Wut It Dew. I'm curious about Alexandria's A Private Man because I just got a sample of CH Man Prive and really like it. Keep up the good work and thanks for the content!

    I did have UltraRed on my Wish List. But I thought it's redundant with me having Eros Flame. UltraRed is supposedly very linear. I opted for the new Reyane Emperor which was 25 percent cheaper. Demeter, also, has the orange creamsicle vibe for the same low price as Emperor. The Demeter would be as linear as UltraRed.
