I share your philosophy on clone cribs, and can appreciate the" Van Gough" , metaphor. It just makes scents. Honestly that's why I finally broke down , and tried my first clone , which changed the way I thought about ponying up for outrageously expensive niche frags. Good presentation bro. Keep it up.
One great idea .... I get the original and the dupe to spray throughout the day or to travel. But yes having the real thing is heavenly!! I buy both ! Helping the economy 🥰
That's a great idea! Love it! I will never stop buying originals but I will also never stop buying clones. I think they both have their place in the fragrance world. Thanks for the support bud!
Great review man 🤗 I love Oakcha , their price is very reasonable , smell great and last very long time. Although they takes about 20 + working days to deliver to Australia 🇦🇺 , but really worth the wait 😊
Thanks bud! They definitely do a great job! Sucks that shipping takes so long for you, but I would love to visit Australia! On my bucket list of places to see.
Oakcha Sinful is one the best fragrances I have ever had. My wife is super picky, and Lost Cherry as being unisex it is a hit or miss if it will sit well on a man's skin... Boy this perfume from Oakcha provides 12 hours of performance and my wife complimented me in a long time and I collect a lot of fragrances... So long story short, if you wanna have a seductive, sweet, and dark smell, Oakcha Sinful is your best bet.
I just received the lost cherry and killian love don’t be shy! So much better than any of my expensive perfumes. They smell amazing all day, I have gotten compliments every day and I can actually smell myself. I just ordered the cocaine and baccarat 540! I can’t wait
Love clone houses! I can't afford creed a friend of mine gave me a decant about 4 years ago and I was in love with that smell! Confidence was high and compliments were plentiful but I still can't afford the king of creed, so that being said club de nuit intense man is so much more affordable and almost better IMO!
To me, BR540 is a lovely fragrance that is not at all worth its full price tag, so I love coming across affordable, accurate clones. Thank you for your review! Since Orphic is supposed to be Oakcha's BR540 *Extrait* clone, would you say you get an almond-y note?
Great video! You made a lot of sense. I don’t have a problem with perfume house fragrances, they’re scents are usually right on point. So, I’m gonna try these guys out. Actually; I’m going to order some goodies today. I’m going to start with Sweven, Kalon, Sinful & Sweet Addict. I’ll let you know how they turn out. Thanks so much for sharing!
@@peacockbird1745 Great experience! Very long lasting fragrances. I’ve been wearing them on & off for about a year now and I’m very pleased. I get compliments all of the time. Oakcha fragrances are fabulous and long lasting.
So if I can’t afford a Van Gogh, I can’t hang a painting inspired by him? In my opinion I don’t use dupes to pretend I have the original, I use them on a daily basis to have that pleasant smell on me. That’s the point of perfumes.
I just finally broke down and shelled out the obscene amount for a small bottle of baccarat rouge 540 (and let me tell you, it KILLED me to do it but I kept hearing there was just nothing like it) but I honestly was deeply disappointed. It smelled like astringent, and not much else...like barely there! I don't understand why I don't smell what everyone else is smelling that they love so much!
How long have you been testing it, and have you tested it in different types of weather? I felt the same way about some other fragrances, and while I was not initially blown away by BR540, I was not exactly disappointed. It was just ok. I put it away for several months, then tried it once again when the weather was cooler, and had a much better experience wearing it. I do love it now. From time to time I go nose blind to it, but I find revisiting it once I do is my answer. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but I do advise trying to wear a fragrance in different settings/climates.
Just purchased sinful and baby I love it I get compliments all day folks can’t stop sniffing me I love me a good smelling perfume and I refuse to pay $300+ when I can get it cheaper and it’s going to do the same thing sinful is on my top 5 favorite fragrance of all time ❤
Hilariously enough, your description of Cocaigne was the deciding factor in my purchase decision. I’m an Ombré Leather Parfum fan, but can’t afford it right now. I would love to smell like booger sugar, lol.
I finally tried br540 and I think it is a masterpiece. I just purchased a day ago or so sinful and sweven because I am gonna need to save up for br540 and I am not yet even sure I want a full bottle of it. The lost cherry I also just tried and loved it but being even more expensive than br540 I think it will be out of my grasp unless the price ever does come down. Fingers crossed I like one of the clones well enough or maybe both!! Cause I really am looking for a new scent to wear. I am sorta thinking of getting a commodity scent with ambroxin as I finally realized I’m obsessed w that note - am really happy I did get to try a sample of br540 and some can see buying a full bottle in my future if i run through a few decants
Love your approach! And I have subscribed to your channel. I have tried Sweven and absolutely love it. It does have that “peek a boo” effect that BR540 is known to have, perhaps that is why some can’t detect it but I get magic whiffs of the fragrance and it is absolutely breathtaking. I have also tried Aurora from Julianna’s perfumes, and that one seems to have a humid-like feeling like most of their fragrances. Thank you for your straight to the point and real review. I am looking forward to seeing more of your content. Do you recommend getting Orphic if one already owns Sweven? Is the almond note worth having the two? I love almond, that is why I am wondering. Thanks again!
Thanks for the love & support. Sorry I’m just getting back to you, been a hectic day with work and recording. I’m about to pick up Aurora to review. Thanks for the feedback on that one. As for Orphic, I haven’t tried Sweven but I do own BR540 education and have a decant of BR540 extrait. The almond in the extrait and Orphic gives it a beautiful creamy round characteristic. It’s less on the woods and more on a sweet velvety scent. Also the harsh opening that I get out of the edp is not there in Orphic or the extrait. I hope that helps. I need to get sweven to fully compare the 2. Honestly I wouldn’t buy BR540 extrait if I already owned the edp because of the cost, but since OAKCHA is so stinking cheap, I would have both.
@@My2Scents not a problem, you replied so quickly and I appreciate it so much. I will definitely go for Orphic, and again, thank you from my heart. Wish you the best with your channel. See you soon 😊
You're the first reviewer who said they're almost as good. Every other reviewer would like they are the exact same,: it's 99% the same, It starts off different but dries down the exact same I can't tell the difference 😂
I ordered Sweven and it smells like nothing. I am putting it away to macerate for a month or two. Thank you for mentioning this. I can smell other things. So I do not think it is my nose.
@@richuElle I hope you can by now. Sweven was the first I bought from Oakcha, and it was a good experience. It is common for people to go nose blind to BR540.
I loveeeee Noir de Noir! I have 2 favs. Tobacco Vanille & Plum Japonais. But I have so much love for so many of his frags. Noir de noir & Tobacco Oud would be my # 3 & 4. I’ve actually thought about doing a review on Noir de noir soon.
I like Ombre Leather as well, but clones are far and few between. Afnan Rare Carbon was suggested, but it's sold out. Oakcha to my knowledge doesn't have a version of Ombre Leather.
Sweven doesn't have a good longevity on me :( But I got bot Cogaigne and Torrid Day and OMG! They are on point and last all day long, even next day til I get a bath!
CDNIM EDP is a great citrus clone of Aventus.. and CDN MILESTONE smells 99.99% just like Millesime Imperial…. Haven’t smelled the GIT clone but I hear it’s very close… only clone house I really like is CDN..
Julianna’s Perfume made a clone of BKR 540 named Aurora. Would you Please compare it to Oakcha’s clone of this ridiculously overpriced fragrance? And perhaps other dupes? How different is BKR 540 extract from BKR 540? I really like your non-nonsense approach. Subscribed. :)
Thank you so much for the sub & the love! I haven't tried Aurora yet but am on the waiting list to get it. It's been sold out for a bit. I'm also gonna snag up a few more from Oakcha this weekend & once Aurora is available I'm gonna grab a couple others from Julianna's Perfume. Once I get Aurora in I'll definitely do a head on comparison.
Also the extrait vs the edp of BR540 are quite similar except the opening of the extrait is much more smooth and has a nice sweet almond note added. The woodiness is a bit more toned down but honestly not a huge difference other than price.
@@My2Scents Thank you for your response. I am looking forward to your next videos. I think well-made clones are great. I have Oud 24 hours by Ard Al Zaafaran, which is TF Black Orchid clone, and I just love it. Some say it’s better than original ( like Sinful), smoother and less offensive. In general, Arabian perfumes are worth exploring, they have many gems relatively inexpensive and unknown to the western customers.
Same thing happened to me and the dupe of baccarat rouge 540 from fragrenza. I emailed them and they dismissed me saying that br 540 does that so it’s normal to not smell their carameli rose. I was like your dupe is not the original and I’m telling you it’s not performing. They ignored me. I don’t recommend their company.
Well first off congratulations!!!! That's awesome!!!! Okay so I would suggest Alexandria Fragrances Forbidden Plum. It's an oriental spicy plum frag that's inspired by Tom Fords Plum Japonais. I love it! Also from the same house, check out Purple Haze. It's inspired by Initio Psychedelic Love. Spicy vanilla & amber. Also Sinful from Oakcha is fantastic. Beautiful boozy cherry & vanilla. All lean gourmand and think would be great for dates out with the hubby. But be warned, your husband might enjoy them a little to much and you might end up with a little brother or sister unexpectedly 😂.
I don’t care how great is a perfume $ 300 is a ridiculous price for a few onz of perfume .
I share your philosophy on clone cribs, and can appreciate the" Van Gough" , metaphor. It just makes scents.

A little late but if you’re struggling w longevity put some Vaseline (j a thin layer) on the spots you spray and it should last longer

Hi ceola how was your experience with these perfumes ?
@@peacockbird1745 Great experience! Very long lasting fragrances. I’ve been wearing them on & off for about a year now and I’m very pleased. I get compliments all of the time. Oakcha fragrances are fabulous and long lasting.
@@ceolapage6706 thanks for your reply this really helped me in making my decision because I cannot justify buying a 200 dollar fragrance.
Sorcery is an original from Oakcha, and I definitely recommend it. It is gender neutral, but smells like it's more for a man on me.
Put it on with your fav perfume it will drive men crazy

I got their signature fragrance Sorcery and it is great. I have their other signatures on the way now.
Heck yeah! I just ordered Sorcery and Dream Fuel. Glad to hear that Sorcery is good cause I'm pretty pumped about it!
@@My2Scents Hey how do you like Sorcery? Would you recommend it to girls? Thank you! :)

I saw a video from another channel where they say that "sweven" is the Oakcha dupe for the Baccarat Rouge 540. Have you tried that one?
I haven’t tried Sweven yet but have heard the same. I’m thinking about picking it up to do a comparison.

Maybe he was asymptomatic with covid??? Idk. I get compliments even though I don't smell it. Olfactory fatigue.
Sorry if I missed you say it, but did you try Torrid Day? Thanks for helping me discover these.
You're very welcome bud! I haven't tried Torrid day yet. I need to see how close they get to my beloved Tobacco Vanille.
Thank you for the review. Was very helpful
Thank you for imparting your knowledge ❤
Fragrance world from Dubai are doing better clones also, $20 for 100ml.
I ordered Sweven and it smells like nothing. I am putting it away to macerate for a month or two. Thank you for mentioning this. I can smell other things. So I do not think it is my nose.
You're very welcome! Definitely give it a month or so and see if that helps. Thanks for watching!

I dont own BR540 but I have Amber Oud Rouge. Smells damn good.
I need to pick some more from OAKCHA. So far one of my favorite clones houses. They do a great job! Thanks for watching!
The one I have is Al Haramain Amber Oud. But I have Moira from Oakcha which is PDM Herod. And it smells good, but it didn't hold a candle to Herod.
Yep you are right, Amber Oud Rouge is definitely the clone!! Just stumbled on this Oaksha
@@michaellefke4380 I have Moira in my shopping cart. I appreciate the honesty.
