Clones have impacted the fragrance industry so much It keeps the niche brands in the edge and really incentivizes them to experiment and creste unique creations
Nah man, i have to disagree when it comes to Asad, i bought it because all you guys was hyping it up and i live Sauvage Elixir, i have it so i bought Asad and i gave it away
Everyone always hyped this one up, and By The Fireplace is one of my favorites, but I HATED this clone. I've let it macerate for 6 months and it's still just awful and I plan on selling it. It smells similar to BTF but only like 70% it smells very sour and has a very weird smell I can't quite put my finger on. I wanted to like it so bad but I just can't. Wordt blind buy so far for me.
Favorite... I just got in Kismet Angel and it was instantly my favorite scent. However, CDIM has gotten me a LOT of compliments, more than anything else.
@@timbonator1 yeah, club De Nuit intense man edt... I don't know what it is about that cheapie but after 5 minutes ppl just love it. When I broke up with a girl she literally asked me to spray her bed sheets so it wouldn't hurt so much at night. I gave her the bottle and got another.
Favourite clone fragrance is easily Armaf's Très Nuit. Love that Green Irish Tweed aroma. That being said, Maison Alhambra's Lovely Chérie is a fantastic cherry fragrance and I'm sad they flew too close to the sun ripping off that Tom Ford Private Blend bottle design
I get more compliments from CDNIM LIMITED EDITION that my Aventus bottle. CDNIM Milestone and silliage is another compliments getter. I'm not gona by silver mountain water or ME Amber oud exclusif clone of layton is mouth watering. Makes me want to bite my self 😂
been on a binge. Recently acquired some fragrances for winter - ferragamo uomo signature and calvin klein shock, but the clone in my purchase is alhambra's amber and leather. Interested to see how it works out. Haven't smelled ombre leather yet but your channel has been super informative when it comes to clone frags which is super helpful for someone like me who is trying to show restraint and pacing in their purchases!
Amber & Leather is closer in smell to Ombré Leather than Afnan Rare Carbon. It's significantly lower in quality than the real deal though. For the price you can't go wrong with it. Rare Carbon is more ozonic and light and fruity, but I think it's better blended and has higher quality ingredients than Amber & Leather. Also keep in mind that you can buy a little 10ml Ombré Leather for not too much. I have one that I bring on trips. The real deal is so much smoother and more well rounded. It just smells right.
@@jorgedm15 I’m not huge on super sweet fragrances so shock is a bit much for me and uomo sig is perfect. Interestingly shock mixed with amber and leather has been working pretty well
My favorite clone is Khamrah with Charuto Tobacco Vanille in a close second. But, Cocktail Intense, Star Men Nebula, & Voux Elegante are being delivered in a couple of days. So, things could change. 🤔
hey ash...u should try szindore which is a brand from malaysia.. i have a malaysian friend who got this(im Australian). He had the szindore elixir which 95% exactly smelled like dior sauvage elixir which i owned and he also got the szindore pure devine which smelled exactly like angel share by killian and smelled better than the khamrah....u should try it mate as its dirt cheap too... cheers 🦘
Hi Ash, you had previously said if money is not a constraint, then Armaf Untold was the best BR540 clone, but now you are saying its Al Haramain Ruby. I know new things gets released and it can change... so which one would you recommend, untold or ruby?
Hey Ashton...whats your thought on CDNI Pure Parfum Perfume ?? I have both Limited Edition and PPP and I feel the PPP is the better buy since their basically the same juice but you get more in the PPP bottle.
@GentsScents Hey Ashton, you ever come across L'Air du Desert Marocain clone? I fell in love with it years ago, but even at the decent price point it is a bit much for me.
CDIM limited, is what I use and love it. I did order Cocktail Intense on your suggestion, can't wait to try that out. And also might try Club de unit milestone. Love the channel! Keep up the great work! Cheers 🍻
I own Al Haramain ruby edition and Ana Abiyed Rouge but i would go with Baroque Rouge 540 by Maison Alhambra.Its the best choice -clone of Baccarat Rouge 540 if you think that costs around 25-30 euro and the quality is very close to Al Haramain one.Ana Abiyed rouge is only a 60ml bottle ,we don't have to forget that
My favorite clone of all-time is tied Ash. Al Haramain's Amber Oud Tobacco Edition (TF Tobacco Vanille) and Afnan's Supremacy Incense (Amouage Interlude Man) are my two favorite clones. They are extremely high performance with magnificent mids and dry downs. I also really, really like Kismet and Kismet Angel
Jean Lowe Immortal was kinda gross in my opinion. It was solid, but had something in it that was off putting. Also i have smelled the original multiple times and it is awesome. Jean Lowe Immortal did NOT smell like it. Most of the other LV clones are incredible, this one was not.
which would you say is a better clone of PDM Layton, the unnamed Haramain dupe you reviewed called Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu or The Woods Collection Dusk?
CDNIM edp started my clone collection. Totes agree on khamrah, asad and have added ofg and suqraat from lattafa. Detour Noir is tops, so versatile. Newest clone is FW l'homme supreme which smells great. JL immortal must be extinct cos it has disappeared, so hyped on this I just want to know what the fuss is all abour
Just today got two Lattafas in the mail. Oud for glory, and Qaa'ed. First being a clone of Oud for greatness and the second one a clone for Nuit D'issey - polaris. Both are awesome.
Fragrance world - Enigma une eats Lattafa - Asad alive, Fragrance world - Avant and Maison Alhambra - Glacier Ultra last longer than 9pm and Ultra male itself
@@Obokombo Right, because well Asad and 9pm appearing as number 1 clones in both Fragrantica and Parfumo after hundreds of votes for their respective cloned OG fragrances gets eaten alive by a random single comment somewhere in youtube. Right, you do you
I just bought khamrah and it smells absolutley horrible. The obly thing I get is extremly strong bubblegum and its so synthetic. Id like to know if everyone had a similar problem.
Bro I was buying scent decants for like 15-30 for 3ML bottles. So dumb on my part I didn’t even know they made clones untill I watched your video. I just bought 6 clones 100ML bottles of my favorite Brands
I got Asad and was somewhat disappointed, never smelled savauge but my asad smells like spicy cotton candy flavored bubble gum. Not a bad scent just not what I prefer to smell on myself all day
It shows how much designers are ripping us all off that clone company's van do quality stuff with sometimes better presentations and full 100 ml bottles for 20 to 50 dollars pounds euros whatever. Clones are king. I'm not interested in fancy ads and Johnny Depp or whoever. Save us all money and smell nice win win.
The Ani Abiyed is the worst in performance. Yes it's affordable and a close dupe to B540 but I could spray 20xs and not get any whiffs minutes later like the others ,no matter how much I spray. Awful performance
I personally prefer The Tux by Maison Alhambra, It is very close and kinda bang for the buck, but its already discontinued, so I was lucky to grab 1 bottle before it totally disappeared
No no no to Ana it’s horrible it’s all over resell pages because how bad it smells. Don’t waste your 15 apply that to get Al haramain rouge if you can’t find it anywhere.
So with the 540 dupes bruh… which is the Better scent lol! $15 or $45 if someone can’t afford $50 on a fragrance,then oh well! tell us the better scent quit selling us on price!!
I’m not gonna lie, I blind bought Ana abyaed rouge, I thort it was weak, didn’t realize I went nose blind to it. till my Daughter started started rocking it to school, She leaves for school at about 6:45 Am and get back home at 16:30 give or take, and wow was I impressed she walk in the front door and it would hit me like in my face, it’s now her signature, safe to say I just ordered bottle no3 now, because a 3rd person in the house start rocking it too, the wife, daddy buys they rock it the life of a father
I wear clones then look people dead in the eye and tell them I’m wearing a $400 cologne.
Same! 😂😂
It's 2023. You can identify as that. Shoutout to identity politics.
@@DReppin2009🤣 my fragrances are trans

Love the selection, but would personally add Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory. Great presentation, lovely scent, just brilliant.
Amazing fragrance
Love the studio !

Because they are less expensive they allow for a larger more varied collection.

CDN Limited Edition is my favorite clone so far, followed really close by Al Haramain Amber Oud Ruby Edition
Best clone ever - “Ameer al oudh” by Lattafa. For 20$ you get even better version of “By the fire place” from Maison Martin Margiela
This or khamrah
@@fadzli2979 Khamrah for me

Some of my favorite clones: Armaf CDNIM Limited Edition Parfum, Anaqeed by Fragrance World/ Layton Exclusife clone, Amber Oud Bleu Exclusif / Layton clone, Lattafa Exclusife Tabac,Maison Alhambra Tabac, Divin Asylum by Fragrance World/ Elysium clone, Oros Pure Leather Gold by Armaf / LV Ombré Nomad clone, Maison Alhambra Jean Lowe Immortal/ LV L’immensite clone, Montagne Parfums Tygar Cologne/ Bulgari Tygar clone, Armaf CDNIM Milestone , Sapil Bound/ Armani Code Profumo clone.
What up fellows sotd Creed silver mountain water 👍🔥💯
Favourite clone fragrance is easily Armaf's Très Nuit. Love that Green Irish Tweed aroma.
That being said, Maison Alhambra's Lovely Chérie is a fantastic cherry fragrance and I'm sad they flew too close to the sun ripping off that Tom Ford Private Blend bottle design
One of my top 5. Agree
It unfortunately smells very synthetic.
I love waking up taking a shower, and watching a fresh upload from Gent Scents himself, keep it up Ash!
You watch Gents scents whilst taking a shower. Let's not lie, pal. Nothing wrong with that lol.

I have most of these and love them just got The Woods Collection Dusk
Which one is your favourite of all clones
Does the scent stays on as long as the originals?
hey ash...u should try szindore which is a brand from malaysia.. i have a malaysian friend who got this(im Australian). He had the szindore elixir which 95% exactly smelled like dior sauvage elixir which i owned and he also got the szindore pure devine which smelled exactly like angel share by killian and smelled better than the khamrah....u should try it mate as its dirt cheap too... cheers 🦘
Hi Ash, you had previously said if money is not a constraint, then Armaf Untold was the best BR540 clone, but now you are saying its Al Haramain Ruby. I know new things gets released and it can change... so which one would you recommend, untold or ruby?
I would also add Lataffa oud for glory...such a lovely fragrance got me a lot of compliments and a beast mode performer
From where did you order?
Hey Ashton...whats your thought on CDNI Pure Parfum Perfume ?? I have both Limited Edition and PPP and I feel the PPP is the better buy since their basically the same juice but you get more in the PPP bottle.
@GentsScents Hey Ashton, you ever come across L'Air du Desert Marocain clone? I fell in love with it years ago, but even at the decent price point it is a bit much for me.

Detour Noir can overtake Layton all day. Maybe minus the presentation 🤣
I live in the Middle East and the access to unreal clones (brands you’ve never heard of) is amazing!
What website do you use? I'm in UAE, I can't find most of these!
@@rockerkunaltry noon
So I’m lucky I got immortal early before the big hype and let me tell you it lasts longer than almost 90% of fragrances out there .
You are a great reviewer but oh soo handsome !
Haven't watched yet, but I can tell you now.... I'm not tossing my other clones!!!😂😅😂
Asad is fantastic for the price, and the route to go if you want a smoother version of suavage elixir
100% Agree.
I own Al Haramain ruby edition and Ana Abiyed Rouge but i would go with Baroque Rouge 540 by Maison Alhambra.Its the best choice -clone of Baccarat Rouge 540 if you think that costs around 25-30 euro and the quality is very close to Al Haramain one.Ana Abiyed rouge is only a 60ml bottle ,we don't have to forget that
ana abyad didnt work fr me. was awful.
CDNIM, Milestone and Sillage is my top 3. Huge compliments. I wanna try Rare Carbon. Thanks for the video
Which 1 is sexier
My favorite clone of all-time is tied Ash. Al Haramain's Amber Oud Tobacco Edition (TF Tobacco Vanille) and Afnan's Supremacy Incense (Amouage Interlude Man) are my two favorite clones. They are extremely high performance with magnificent mids and dry downs. I also really, really like Kismet and Kismet Angel

@@princessanineveh 😅
@@aramishernandez9612 now that's embarrassing for me.
Layer any BR 540 clone with CDIM or any Aventus clone, thank me later.
Whatever your thoughts on clones, they're here to stay and I will be prioritising a quality clone, over an overly expensive niche.
So you're gonna Talk about clones without mentioning Afnan 9pm?
So far it's a toss up between insurrection ii wild and tobacco touch. Both fantastic tobacco forward clones.
Jean Lowe Immortal was kinda gross in my opinion. It was solid, but had something in it that was off putting.
Also i have smelled the original multiple times and it is awesome. Jean Lowe Immortal did NOT smell like it.
Most of the other LV clones are incredible, this one was not.

Amazon has Jean Lowe Immortal for $43.25 so I would get it there but I have no clue what L’immensite smells like!
Like a classic 80s fougère men's fragrance, but completely modernised. Think Sauvage and A&F Fierce but much more pleasant and different.
wait until he finds out about fragrance worlds ace of spades
Also fantastic is their clone of Vertus- Nacos'is called King Of Diamonds .
@@Hill3304 yup literally picked those two up, havent smelled the queen and jack tho

Both are awesome.
i only have asad from your list, just started using colognes this year. but im willing to try ALL OF THESE out
Could you do one with Mens only perfumes? I see there are many unisexual fragrances in the line-up.
Eternal Oud not top10? I can't stop sniffing myself when I have it on. I love it and I no longer care about getting grand soir.
Is it long lasting
The smoothest clones i have ever smelled,rasasi la yukawam,al haramain gold tobacco edition
Assad smells horrible
I believe Reyane Transition Inserection 2 Sport Colonge is a clone of Aventus Colonge.
Armaf CNDI
Lattafa Asad
Afnan 9pm (-> Ultramale)
Ard al Zaafaran Midnight Oud (-> Interlude)
Rasasi Fattan (Terre D'Hermes)
Zara Vibrant Leather Cologne (Dior Homme Cologne)
