I bought the original ones only to wear them on special occasions (stingy yeah), but when i feel like wearing them casually, that's when those cheapies clones come in

For the most part, I’m veering away from clones but I’m still glad they exist. When I first started getting into fragrances, I went super heavy on the clones and cheapies and now they’re mostly just collecting dust and taking up space.
@@joseg8498same, I had about 10 designers, 15 cheapie clones then I bought a niche fragrance collection from an estate sale, now the only time I wear any clones is if I run out of the og, and even then I usually just reach for something else
@@SinghJ254 Quality over quantity. I already have more fragrances than I’ll every use in a lifetime. I’ve been buying a lot less frequently and saving up for the real deal if I think it’s worth it. I say if it’s worth it because there’s some fragrances out there like modern Aventus that simply do not justify the cost due to how they perform. Lots of clones do get quite close to the original but I’m at the point where I try and appreciate what the original fragrance was going for on an artistic level.
The Enigma squeakiness is real! The bottle looks awesome until you touch it. Then you feel like bubble wrap is still on it somewhere. It’s no big deal but it does cheapen the experience substantially. I have 1, 2 and 3. 1, the one he shows, is the worst, 2 not as bad, 3 has no squeak on mine.
Hi Ash (big fan here). Have you come across a clone of Fahrenheit that tries to closely imitate the original formula from the 1990s??? There are numerous clones out there, but which ones get closest to the original? (Actually, this would make an interesting episode)
I have enigma une and asad and im spraying them side by side and I really can't tell what people are saying. To me these two particular bottles almost smell identical. It's really hard to tell them apart. I don't really need both so I guess I will see which one lasts the longest and pick that one. Maybe your Enigma is more of an aged bottle and stands out more.. or maybe Asad didn't age enough, I have no idea. Maybe there simply is inconsistencies with clones between batches and/or bottles.
@@FarhanAli-rs7wx They last about the same. Maybe Asad a little longer. After wearing the decants, I would say Enigma une is the better blended fragrance. It smells higher quality, but they are both very similar. I am going to sell my new bottle of enigma cause these scents are too similar to own both.. I chose to sell enigma simply because it's a new bottle I haven't used and the ASAD i been using it.. otherwise i might have kept the enigma
Rewatching this. Still on the fence for Enigma Une. I'm balking at the price. Same with Cherry Cola. Got Proud Of You Absolute. Still looking at getting Ivanhoe. Sold out.
@georgej9875 Hello, for its price, there is no need to pay full on Armani - 90+ % similarity easily with respectful longevity, but as i said don't judge after first sniffs, just give it few weeks to develop )
👍 Renheit Parfum. I've had it for about 2 months now, and yeah, it's better. Now my fav from FW. Even layer it with Alhambra's Fortnight and I actually like it more than the original Dior. 😆 Who knew.
@@deputydan2226 Ooooo tough. I would say no. The atomizers are different though. You need at least 2 sprays to equal 1 from a Dior atomizer. I haven't tested it properly, sorry.
@justaddlight no worrys. I ask because I have pre 2014 bottles or the og le parfum and they're almost empty. So ill need replacements soon. I don't trust most of these wholesalers when it comes to the juice inside because they send open boxes
@Gents Scents / Ash: We all love your clone frag videos and your honest feedback about them, but could you add following in the future: 1) What are the weak points/ the disadvantages of the clone? For example: Not long lasting, not dense like the original, weak sillage etc. 2) Can you rate it from 1-10 in comparison to the original 3) How often/ how long you have been tested/ compared them
I gave away my bottle of Asad last night. Based on this review I'm going to replace it with Enigma Une. Great shirt by the way. One of my all-time favorite movies. The actors who played the surviving characters are still with us AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T DONE A SEQUEL. 🤦♂️ The movie is 40 years old!
Can't agree with the Renheit Parfum. I recently got it (different, new bottle design, though) and the gasoline smell is there and VERY prominent. I had Fahrenheit EDT about 10 years ago and was immediately thrown back, as Renheit is so faithful to the original.
Do you guys think that there is some bias in these videos? Like a financial incentive? I have the utmost respect for Ash. I wonder though if Influencers have more and more pressure as their lifestyles increase to promote products that pay more or pay more often. DannyFragrance
@dannytetreault people click on videos about clones and cheap designers more than anything else so yes to a point you're correct. However there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of people who do videos on them
@@dannytetreault I think it’s something else. We need to remember that even designer fragrances at retail price are very expensive and considered a luxury item to most people. When you’re able to present a decent alternative that costs a fraction of the price, it’s an opportunity to cater to people that wouldn’t otherwise spend their time watching something they cannot afford. Also, there’s a limit of new fragrances that are released every year. Videos about clones make it possible to release new content even when no new fragrances (not clones) have been released.
Hi Ash. Do you get any "Kickbacks" for giving feedback on certain clones? I've heard you do and I'm devastated if that's true because of how many videos of yours I've liked.
I honestly think it's the bottles getting rattled about and temperature variations in transit, my OG DHP was soo much better after sitting for a couple of weeks. So yeah the maceration/maturation thing is codswallop but letting em Settle for a week or 2 (or longer for some up to a month) is defo a thing!
How’d you make a vid like this so entertaining?!! Like it! I’m getting into trying dupe fragrances (ones I’ve tried haven’t been great) these ones hold promise though! I LOVE Fahrenheit, it’s my all time fave so MAY try that Renheit one day…the name 😂😂😂🤦♂️
maybe a compilation on clones where the quality is way beyond the price. ie, not concentrating on the clone-like quality but its fragrance quality (ingredients)
What next scent would you suggest for me? I have ADG georgio, le beau JPG, V Oud noir, V Eros, Y yves, D&B light blue and La nuit Yves. I want something a little different from what I have but also something I’d like based on those. Thanks
Suits isn't powdery, Lhome Ideal Extreme clone, Eternal Coffee, Star Men Nebula ect aren't either but they do have a fair bit of powdery frags so you're not wrong
Is the Tonk Cola clone better or worse than the OG? I have been wanted to get the real one for a while, but it is still expensive at discounters and is never in stock.
@gents scents : Have you come across a clone of Armani Code Sport? I loved that stuff years ago but since it got discontinued have never been able to find a decent clone :(
Clones - Keeping my addiction affordable since 2023!
Facts because groceries and gas not playing fair lol
got proud of you absolute and can safely say it's very close to the original. The first few minutes after spraying can be alcohol heavy but after leaving it on my clothes for a few hours, it smells heavenly
love this one!
Seems these deserve some long-term testing as apparently, maceration actually happens on those. Please keep us posted!
Hey Ash, could you maybe make a full video of The Enigma une and maybe Talk about the performance and longevity?
2023, the year of the clones. I’m liking these videos, there is some pretty spectacular stuff out there, especially the Middle Eastern houses.
clones scents, ash found a new way to be addicted do fragrances 💀
I bought the original ones only to wear them on special occasions (stingy yeah), but when i feel like wearing them casually, that's when those cheapies clones come in

Reinheit sounds great. Love your clone videos.

I can confirm FW fragrances do get better a week or two latter after first spray
If you ever wanted to do a goof episode, review the various "well named" frags found at the dollar store!
Jordache
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I just got Enigma Une. Very happy with it
how is the performance?
using farhenheit edt sincd 2001.....lov it i was 17 than and now i am 42
As always thanks Ash, I love, love, love ASAD. Have 3 bottles, I will be getting ENIGMA UNE ASAP. One of my top 10 frags.
Ok, did a blind buy on Enigma and bought 2 bottles, it's so spot on to Sauvage Elixir. Sorry Asad, my new fav is Enigma.
@@Leadloose how long does it last? I wanna get it but if its not long-lasting I don't wanna get it.
@hiezenberg off my skin I get about 3 to 4 hours before having to re-apply. ASAD does have better performance but is not as close to the DNA.
The Enigma squeakiness is real! The bottle looks awesome until you touch it. Then you feel like bubble wrap is still on it somewhere. It’s no big deal but it does cheapen the experience substantially. I have 1, 2 and 3. 1, the one he shows, is the worst, 2 not as bad, 3 has no squeak on mine.
It's a clone channel now.
I'm not complaining. I love me some clone reviews.
Based on the name, could Diplomat be Gisada Ambassador Intense?
Enigma Une is the best Sauvage Elixr Dupe out there. I own four and that’s the most closest. The atomiser is bad though.
Nah the way I be waiting for 10 o clock est for ash to drop a new video is crazy
another clone video hope youre happy for the wait LOL

Thank you ash , FW clones guys are banger!!!! Im getting that Enigma oud for sure❤❤❤❤
Proud of you absolute should macerate few weeks and it will smell almost like Armani, i guess same story with other clones!
Hi, can you give me your opinion on proud of you EDP. Im thinking of buying it! :) thanks.
@georgej9875 Hello, for its price, there is no need to pay full on Armani - 90+ % similarity easily with respectful longevity, but as i said don't judge after first sniffs, just give it few weeks to develop )
Might cop the cherry cola as a car freshener
Renheid edp was my blind buy. Not too bad I would give it 6.5/10
Idea for next video - ""12 Niche clones / cheap perfume that got you covered all year round."" (long lasting with good projection)
Every time new video came out, I feel realy great and change my mood for the rest of the day.
I stopped using tester strips, the only way to do it is on skin. This is also a flex to let the amateurs know you're a real frag head.
👍 Renheit Parfum. I've had it for about 2 months now, and yeah, it's better. Now my fav from FW. Even layer it with Alhambra's Fortnight and I actually like it more than the original Dior. 😆 Who knew.

Def have to try the sausage Elixir one
Yes, SAUSAGE makers should definitely come up with an Elixir version of their products :D
I’d be interested in seeing a Fahrenheit Elixir

Awesome The Thing t-shirt, Ash!
Don’t know if it’s me but the dry down reminded me of azzaro wanted anyone getting that vibe ?
Hi iwant to buy the absolute
What you say about the projection
I honestly think it's the bottles getting rattled about and temperature variations in transit, my OG DHP was soo much better after sitting for a couple of weeks.

I'm not sure there is a clone of that yet. And yes every time I go to buy it it's out of stock
How does Proud Of You Absolute compare to Cyrus Chancellor?
Cherry Cola from Emir reminds me some of Creation-E from Roja
can you do a review on the new zara fragrences x alberto morilles?
Cool video Ash, Have a wonderful day. Cheers from Stockholm 🎉
maybe a compilation on clones where the quality is way beyond the price.

Clone of Jet Black Enigma?
Diggin "the thing" tee shirt man! Oh and nice clones man clones clones clones 🔥🔥🔥
I have FW Legion and Carlisle and they are great.Are all FW scents powdery or just mine?Love the powderiness but just curious

Hi can you give a short description / opinion on this fragrance? I am considering buying it!
Hey Ash. You should do a Discontinued "Zombie" fragrances that should be resurrected.
Should I get asad?
It's obnoxious bro...avoid!
6:58 Puffy atomiser p diddy atomiser 🤣🤣

Where can I find renheit in europe???
Finally, an opinion on Renheit. Probably should have waited another week to grab FWs.

“Proud of you” !😂😂😂
