Suqraat means Socrates in Arabic, incase you wanted to know. Costs about $14usd here in Dubai. Considering you got it in the US. pretty fair price below $25.
I am pretty satisfied with my bottle that I just got from Fragrancebuy, Profondo is my favorite Acqua di Gio, so I have the real deal with it. I like the Suqraat much better after the dry down, it is a fantastic scent for the money. I got my bottle just in time, they are sold out now. Thanks for another informative video.
Just received this one few days ago and I have to agree - this is totally in the Profumo area (and even Essenza). I am not a big fan of neither of them (I am more into the Original ADG) but I can definitely say that I like this Lattafa better than Profumo and Essenza.
This for me was perfect as ADGP smelled great but had a note when you smelled it up close I just didn’t agree with but thisLattaffa fragrance has the same vibe without the off putting note !! And for the price you can’t go wrong !!
As a new fragrance collector, for fun, i tried making a video of my top 10 clones/cheapies and man, It took a lot of work. I really Appreciate the effort you Ash and other Fragrance OG’s for consistently making great fragrance videos. 🙏😃 And also the 2 clones you just reviewed were already sold out.
Yeah Ash has some influence in what fragrance’s he’s talking about I know when he’s mentioned that Profumo was looking like it might be discontinued it started selling out at all the fragrance websites.
While wearing Lattafa Fakhar Black (which I found out by watching this channel) I end up blind buying Lattafa Suqraat cause of this post XD. Thanks Ashton!
I got this for 13$. It starts with the bergamot and then turns citrusy creamy maybe because of the floral notes. I don't get any incense. Btw, the name is basically Socrates.
Hi Ash. I must say I purchased Lattafa Asad and must say TOP CLASS. I have received compliments and the longevity and projection is amazing. A few work colleagues have asked me what it is and since purchased. Clone of Dior Sauvage Elixir.
@@motosashi6971middle eastern clones need macerating when recieved (10 - 20 sprays to get oxygen into the bottle then let it sit for a while) and that increases performance. And can still be used in the meantime.
I just got my Suqraat bottle today. The opening kinda threw me off, it's not as great as Profumo, but it's super close. A few minutes after the opening, it's like a combination of ADG Original and ADG Profumo, closer to the 10-15 min mark, it's super super close to Profumo. I was curious at first, hence, I decided to buy it. I did not regret this at all. FYI: ADG Profumo has been my signature scent for the past 3 years. I'll give it a 9/10. It's this close. Even I wouldn't be able to tell the difference when it dries down. Longevity wise, I'll have to test it out a few more days.
Bought blindly for about 90PLN (or ~22USD) with shipping, without any conviction, because how close a strange Arabian imitation can be to the timeless Acqua Di Gio... well, it turns out it's very close :D Personally, I would say that Suqraat is a middle ground between OG Acqua di Gio and ADG Profumo, having a citrus freshness on the one hand and an incense depth on the other. Longevity is decent, after a day at work they are still noticeable, if sprayed on clothes - you can easily smell them the next day. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to ADG and you don't have a nose like a bloodhound to detect small concessions - I highly recommend it even as a blindbuy.
Suqraat don't impress me too much, but Asad yes! Today I received both and Asad it's a criminal clone of Sauvage Elixir! Buy Asad don't worry it's powerful, long lasting!
I fell for the hype and bought it beginning of the year and absolutely hated how one dimensional it smelled so put it in an old sock and stuck it at the bottom of my old sock basket and didn't look at it for months from expecting it to be as linear.. Funny thing is I took it out and sprayed it on a book page I read and closed the book and took a whiff accidentally when reading and its like a different scent, it actually has a new rounded,slightly oudy spicy dry down along with the obvious fruity main note, it matured amazingly and I'm smiling as I type this, I have Aqua do gio Absolu and this actually eclipses it
Not necessarily a clone, but Azzaro Chrome Extreme. I actually prefer it to to Profondo, because it doesn’t have that harsh mineral note in the opening.
I know what you mean. Mine smelled a bit funny at first but became smoother after a week or so. Give it some time and keep spraying to let more air in.
Jazzab Silver Ard Al Zaafaran is also a great clone of ADG profumo that's 90% similar with only slightly weaker performance and all for around £12 with lovely bottle design as well so everyones a winner!
@@m2s745 ard al zaffran and lattafa both are different companies.lattafa have sub brands like (al hambara,rave,lamuse) website doesn’t indicate that ard al zaffran have merged with lattafa.let me ask my friend who is a whole sale dealer of lattafa perfumes(uae) then I will put forward my reply.

It's weaker, you have to overspray to get at least 4 hours. Don't know much of the notes, but after 2 hours it becomes an intimidate sillage and can fade away within a working day.
Depends on the seller, you can check ratings and comments for each seller/shop on Amazon. Amazon itself is not a shop, it is a warehouse and delivery service
Literally EVERYONE has overlooked Parfums Vintage Profound Acqua. It's so bizzare. It's like it doesn't exist. I might have to sample it myself because I seem to be the only one that's noticed it. With all the rumours/talk of reformulation/discontinuation AND how popular ADGP is, I can't wrap my head around how invisible said product is 😅
@@Paidfullz yeh I looked into said product and was instantly reminded of exactly how bad the customer service is. I completely forgot about that. So yeh.....kind of makes more sense to me now. I'm not even gonna bother getting a sample because there's no way I'm doing business with them.
The reformulation of Profumo is a shadow of what it used to be… These new bottles without the silver foil writing lack the incense so much & the performance is very poor. I immediately sold my bottle and just kept my 2015 batch for special occasions, the average nose may not be able to tell but being into fragrances you can really spot the differences and Giorgio Armani really dropped the ball with this one…
i have a 2019 bottle and it's one of the strongest longest lasting modern frags i have. I'm talking I basically get 10hrs noticeable performance. I didn't have an early bottle of profumo but even my later one smells f****** amazing
I don’t really agree with that. I have both the new formulation and the old one. Just let it sit for a while and it would be the same for a week talking about maceration. Don’t believe reformulation hype when both the box of the old and new got the same ingredient. Mine performs the same.
Suqraat is absolutely amazing just got it and can't stop enjoying the scent it's giving out just wow
Suqraat means Socrates in Arabic, incase you wanted to know. Costs about $14usd here in Dubai. Considering you got it in the US. pretty fair price below $25.

How does Profondo perform on your skin? I get about 15-30 minutes.
Very sad because I like the scent.

Yes its true 👍

The funny thing is, is that I know exactly the note you're talking about. I have to agree 100%.
Which note? Incense?
Hi Ash. Glad to see you getting into Middle Eastern fragrances! IMO, you can't beat the quality, for the price!
Lattafa, Afnanand Armaf are just amazing. And Rasasi is huge.
Lataffa has been knocking it outta the park!

Love it still.

Thanks for the supernews.

Jorge Alhambra or Suqraat Lattafa, which one is the best?
This is why you should do more lattafa reviews! Cheap amazing quality clones! Btw, what's the best cheap adg profondo clone?
Not necessarily a clone, but Azzaro Chrome Extreme. I actually prefer it to to Profondo, because it doesn’t have that harsh mineral note in the opening.
ard al zaafaran ghawas is a clone of profondo
@@zachallen791 Chrome extreme is not exactly cheap here, 40€ for 50ml. You can buy 3 100ml lattafas for that price =D
Armaf Tres Nuit Lyric is supposedly a clone of Profondo, I'm sure Ash did a video on it as well
if there is one thing I don't care about when it comes to a fragrance, it is the flacon and the atomizer.
Hey ash,
Can you review the Jorge di profumo from maison Alhambra?
How long does it last?
You can layer this with L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense to get that Incense vibe.
I would rather layer it with Armaf CDN Intense Woman and get that incense note plus an additional rose note (not that strong) to make it last longer!
Can anyone explain to me why it's next to impossible to find Bleu De Chanel on discounter websites??
Cuz Chanel will sue them
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
How is this compared to another take on AdG, Perry Ellis Red 360?
I've noticed theres barely any Profondo clones 🤔
I got the elixr clone yaterday to me it has the hot hair smell….. you know if some one blow-dried there to long or if you smell a hairdryer…
I know what you mean. Mine smelled a bit funny at first but became smoother after a week or so. Give it some time and keep spraying to let more air in.
Jazzab Silver Ard Al Zaafaran is also a great clone of ADG profumo that's 90% similar with only slightly weaker performance and all for around
