@@aaron4387 caprice is cool w me. I featured it for that reason. They all do have some strange notes in them tho. People are taking half of what I say hearing what they want to hear in these videos. This is why frag com lies so much.
I get more compliments with khamra than my invictus and monte blanc, chanel bleu that cost triple and more and never a had a compliment wearing them. I still do like them but i rather be buying clones. I mean with one price of the original you can get like 4 lattafa perfume and they smell great.
I pick up what u saying. I go to the rack stores looking for red tag discounts. People on a mass level are like hypnotized by all these fragrances from clone houses and it is kind of difficult too personally I will say bc this year in particular these dupes are using special technology to get every note and nuance and then when you add the hype put out by influencers it’s bizarre! With all that said, I luv this hobby man bad decisions blind buys to hidden gems I luv to smell good and the variety is insane! Nice video
Ana abiyedh rouge is my FAVORITE br540.. Ive purchased ATLEAST 7 dupes..Smells light but it's Nuclear!!!! You go nose blind but you spray it on go to work come back home the whole house still smells.. Women Love this on men 💯
Definitely agree with the point about the emotional investment aspect the community has with some of these fragrances. It's rose tinted glasses the second they get even a hint of the original scent coming from these clones. They're not bad, but they're just not what they're pretending to be. There's only ever been like 1 or 2 that I've ever come across that actually smell 90 to 95% to the original. Looking back I have the same sentiment, it was a waste of money in the end. The good thing that came from it was that it allowed me to develop my nose and figure out what scent profiles I did and didn't like.
@@CarloCrux thanks for the thoughtful comment! Most of these ain’t worth the wasted money. I’d rather have decanted the original. 40$ can get you a huge decant of almost anything out there. Imagine we got to go straight to that instead of 1000s of ml of wasted juice! There are a few logical fallacies at play between the marketing, group psychology, and instant gratification of blind buying bottles. It’s akin to gambling man! Also very similar to the reward mechanisms of trading card game pack addiction too (I’ve been there)
@@BeginnerMindset It really is man. The chase is addictive, and like you said there isn't the time in the day to wear them! Or the desire to once you have higher quality stuff. When you boil it down do you wan't a bottle for every day of the month that's just okay, or do you want a bottle for every day of the week that's top tier? Everyone should ask themselves what their end goal is before getting sucked into the clone zone. You hit the nail on the head with this vid looking forward to the next one!
'A little bit wrong , is a lotta bit wrong' , you've nailed it on the head on this one, I find that more often than not in lattafa fragrances, that certain cheap synthetic or weird note , albeit not prominent would just be so off putting for me. Especially on skin, but in the air they've captured the fragrance. But the price is so always to tempting, I got lattafa Asad 50 ml for $10 Singapore dollars (prob. equivalent to 5-6Usd) which is ridiculous for what you're getting, and these clones are readily sold everywhere where I'm from, so I could spray it on a test strip and actually make an informed decision before buying.
You definitely seem to be honest bro and I appreciate it. I definitely wasted money buying clones myself but I've definitely slowed down on that. I'm definitely trying more higher quality fragrances now but still I'm far from affording the higher quality stuffs.. I have a limit so I will have to save up for sure. Well good review Bro very enlightening. Have a good day.
Great list brother! Hey, Rhagba Wood Intense is a BOMB! I love it, but it's definitely strong and situational. That being said, I put my nose on Tony Iommi Monkey Special, and I couldn't help but think about a high end version of RWI... at least in the opening of it!
Try Liam Grey, Hala or Mohra from Lattafa.These are really good. No chemical smell at all. Also do try Just Aswad, Midori, L'Infinite J.Y. and Hard Wood all from Fragrance World. They are all extremely good.
i been considering gris charnel edp cuz i actually do like that. Still cruising on a sample of it. Il look into those but tbh im prob not buying anymore low end/mid tier stuff for a while
@@BeginnerMindset Liam Grey will not disappoint, the same applies to Mohra, Just Aswad, Midori and my last favourite Miraj Absolu of French Avenue. I own hundreds of originals and a few dozens of clones. Trust me, some of the clones smell even better than the OG's.
You can't satisfy yourself with a clone of a fragrance. You will always say to yourself "How the original will smell?". So in my personal opinion, buy a decant of the original one, a 5 ml decant will last you quite a bit. Don't fall for those influencers that give 10/10 to the clones. Clone can't beat the quality of ingredients, creativity of the perfume, the smoothness of the blend and so on...
LATTAFA VINTAGE AIR FRYER NEEDS TO BE A FLANKER BUTTON
I can vouch for Asad, Khamrah Qahwa, Ameer Al Oud, Honor and Glory and Caprice.....they are all great fragrances IMHO

You do you bro. I’m at the point that the bar has been raised since my nose has developed and my tastes have evolved.
To be fair I did say Khamrah is okay ✅
I just de-hyped it and told the truth about it from my own perspective

@@jai3064 it made this list so therefore it is decent enough!
You for real? You care to list the other clone versions you've tried, I'm just curious because I'm getting your suggestion if it's that good.
@@geico1975 my favorite one is the dua. Casino royale room 540. The issue I have with dua is that it’s 60$ for a damn 30ml
I agree bro I have wasted so much cash but now I have good idea just what I like and how to buy.I always learn the hard way😂
@@racerx2095 as long as you learn brotha!
@@BeginnerMindset Thanks for the reply bro
Great job
Encre Noire (and all Lalique) is very expensive in UAE as it sells for full retail, which is why it's been cloned😊

@@charlesproud71 if you watched the video I even said that same claim. Some of them are better performing and smelling, but rarely.
@@charlesproud71 Liam grey and a few others are on the way
For me only good ones from Lattafa and are Raghba Wood Intense, Ana Abiyedh leather and Najdi Tribute (not mass appealing - it grows on you)
