How can I get you to review my fragrance collection in a shorts video?
Fantastic video. I have some of these and appreciate your insights. Carved Oud is just fantastic, super happy I have a bottle. I’ll be picking up Thameen Green Pearl this spring as well
I've bought Afnan Supremacy NOI, also Missoni wave, both are great value for money, I totally agree with your description of both! Wave will be ideal for warm weather and the gym, and supremacy anytime .....
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Omar I’m curious, are you still a doctor alongside being a fragrance wizard? Your journey is incredibly inspiring, talk about following your passion 👏👏
I definitely agree that Instant Crush is a wonderful scent. I was overwhelmed by it at first, as it is VERY heavy on the saffron and I'm not a huge saffron fan. But as I gave it more chances and wore it more, it has veeeeery much grown on me. It's quite a unique scent, but at the same time no one is offended or put off by it.
Man im with you on all the Alexandria Fragrances. Especially Hafez 1984. That's what I wore today. That's an amazing fragrance
One of the best videos from Omar lately!... 👍
Just got lattafa ana abiyedh rouge and this honestly might be one of if not my favorite scent it smells soooo good
Another great video! A scent inspiration I haven’t really seen talked about that I love is called Marjan Silver by Afnan.
It is very close to Bleu de Chanel Parfum. Especially in the dry down.
Excellent video Omar !! Would L'aventure intense be worth it? I have heard it has much better projection than the original L'aventure. Love Missoni Wave BTW👌
nice video Omar....plz also make a fragrance house review of Riiffs Perfumes and Maison Alhambra......They also contain lots of clones as well
Sillage ,instant crush and wave are amazing i love them
Like your side by side comparisons ✅
I got Sillage a couple of weeks ago, for me (at least on my skin), it's a blast of mainly rose/florals and then musk. Don't really get much of the citruses/black currant. That being said, still smells really nice and lasts for about 8 hours
Very good akhi, much love and Support from Germany Brother
Afnan 9pm is currently on notino for under £20. Khamrah was on there for around £30 too but sold out now. Both of mine arrived today and they smell amazing
i own these and I'm not disappointed :) These are the best clones IMHO.
1-Lattafa Asad - savauge elixir (beast projection & long lasting)
2-Lattafa Fakhr - YSL EDP (weak-projection & not-lasting)
3-Lattafa AMBER & LEATHER / Afnan rare carbon - Ombre leather TF (weak-projection & moderate-lasting)
4-Afnan 9 PM - Ultramale JPG (beast projection & long lasting)
5-Afnan Supermacy - Aventus (moderate-projection & moderate-lasting)
on my list : Lattafa Khamrah & oud for glory
Would love your impressions on some of the Noted. Aromas dupes, loving them personally
Have you tried Thameen carved oud yet? I bought it because of your continued suggestion . And it is excellent .
have you tried Armaf Untold? seems like a very strong B540 dupe.
I have Oud for Glory and love it. I have never smelled Oud for Greatness; however, I am not sure if it matters. I found what I like in Lataffa. The only issue is that I live in Florida and because it is so warm, I can only wear Oud for Glory a few times a year when we get an artic blast push this far south. Oh well...
I have it as well and love it I live in England so plenty of time to wear it lol
I love 1981x! And Arabian Horse from Alexandria Fragrance. It's a great clone house in my opinion
Afnan 9PM is currently on Notino UK for £19.50 which is cheaper than Missoni Wave
Most reviewers suggest Afnan's Supremacy in Oud as the best clone of Oud for Greatness. I have it and it's really good although I've never smelled the Inito to compare. I also have Lattafa's Asad, the clone of Sauvage Elixier and a friend sent me a decant of Alexandria's Ete Sauvage Elixier, and both are very good clones. Great video!
Which clone you think is more similar to Dior Elixir. Lattafa’s Asad or Été Sauvage?
@@Charlie-ly5sd I think they are both really good. The Alexandria lasts longer but for the price of the 30ml bottle you can get 100mls of Asad. So Asad is definitely the best buy. But honestly, they are both spectacular.
@@ohfour-seven6228 have you tried the new Club de Nuit Urban Elixir it’s another clone of Dior Elixir. I really wonder which is the best clone of Dior Elixir. I have Dior Elixir and Asad, Asad it’s quite similar but nothing blow minding. I’d say Asad its like 75% similar to Dior Elixir.
@@Charlie-ly5sd I haven't tried Urban Elixir but I hear it's very good.
@@Charlie-ly5sd armaf elixir is not a clone of dior elixir. alexandria elixir is one of the best sauvage elixir clone there is
I have 8 Alexandria Fragrances perfumes, 6 clones and 2 original creation's. I totally agree with Omar about Hafez 1984 and 1981x, but Royal Equestrian no, maybe my skin is not for that perfume, idk, but I'm absolutely anosmic to that fragrance. I feel some apple on beginning and that's it, he's macerating already 3 months, but still nothing good. But I have another 2 clones that I love, first is Alexandria Fragrances Black Panther (Bvlgari Tygar clone) and Alexandria Fragrances Megatron (Orto Parisi Megamare) those 2 ar jus wow, so good, maybe longevity and sillage is not that good like Megamare original but it's amazing. And Alexandria Fragrances Zion is good as well like a fragrance, idk how far is from original Roja Elysium, but it's such a beautiful scent.
Apparently Dua's The Tux is an outstanding clone of YSL Tuxedo, much closer than Rochas Moustache EDP. Have not tested it myself, but Cubaknow has a great video on it where he blindfolded his friend and tested that and a couple other clones on him.
I own DUA and the original. 100% likewise
Dua tux is best tuxedo clone.
Hey Omar you gotta check Dua’s rendition of Layton and for Naxos as well. They rendition of Layton is actually based off of the 2016 formulation.
The newsletter never disappoints!
hey bro can you put all the fragrances you list into categories (summer, winter, office, date, versatility, all year round) as it really helps beginners like me in the fragrance?
wearing 1981X right now fire 🔥
I own Naxos, montblanc explorer and previously owned sauvage elixir but that one was too strong and cloying for me to wear. Bought Asad and I'm so pleased and like it more than sauvage. Grat video!
I have Oud 24 hours which is a great clone, though recently tried the newest Black Orchid (Parfum, in the gold bottle) and thought that was the smoothest and most masculine Black Orchid yet... actually wondering whether to stump up the money for a 50ml 🤔
Another great video champ! Thank you.
This may be a reach but if you know of any good clones of LV: Ombré Nomad, Meteore, Afternoon Swim. Please for the love of God, let us know!
Hi, Omar. Are you planning on doing any videos on Initio's fragrances? Their fragrances, especially Side effect, has been highly praised by people like Aaron Terence Hughes
Never smelled Creed Aventus but i bought Club de Nuit intense man limited Edition and it smell good, moderate projection and last at 8 to 10 hours on the skin
9pm is a longer lasting and bwtter projecting ultramale With a fresher opening. I really like the pear in ultramale and in 9pm there is no pear but in the drydown 9pm smell very close, not the same but still very good.
Its really heavy on the vanilla in the drydown (what i really like)
I have read so many good reviews regarding 9pm, from users of it, so I have one on order, was sub 30 bucks, looking forward to it.
Milestone deserves a mention. Its like 99% Millesime Imperial but with very good performance.
I bought Tres Nuit from Jomas, but all I get is a bubblegum scent from opening to dry down. I’m going to let it sit on the shelf for a while and hope it improves.
I've been wearing Armaf Sillage to work all week as the temp here is around 50° during the day and drops off to mid 30s at night. Granted I'm layering it with molecule 01, I catch wiffs of it late in the evening around the 7 to 8hr mark. For the 1st 2 or 3hrs it has a nice 3ft bubble and comes a little closer afterwards but still lingers a bit as you walk by
How long does that metallic opening stay cause I just got it in today and man
@@pmpmane13 on me, about 5 to 10mins. It smelly generic at 1st. I guess that's the metallic smell. But after about 15mins or so, it blends and settles and more of the sweet floral starts to shine. It's very nice. I just wouldn't reach for it in high heat. Spring and fall mostly or a cool summer night. I think the ambroxan in it tones down the floral and sweetness some. It also makes it kind of unisex as well. If it wasn't for the ambroxan and slight green smell, I think it would be more feminine. I got my bottle for about 45usd when it 1st came out a few yrs ago. I don't wear it much but I've been wearing it all this week.
@@fenukujahi8372 oh ok cool cause I never had a fragrance make me feel the way I felt imma retry it on an off day cause that shit had me dying
@@pmpmane13 I'll admit it grew on me. The warmer the weather, back off your sprays. It's a nice smelling scent. But Luke anything else, it's not for everybody. Water is the best thing for you and it's people who don't like to drink water lol.
Recently purchased Missoni wave and I have to say it's close to allure homme sport in my opinion. I reach for club de nuit intense man edp more than I do my creed aventus
Have you tried l'aventure intense? In my country I can only find the regular l'aventure but I would like to know how it compares to. I've watched reviewers saying the intense is a way better clone, whats your opinion?
Cheers from Portugal!
have armaf CDNIM and the new urban man elixir, love both. getting more armaf stuff :D
Alexandria fragrances sounds like a Great Brand. Affordable, high concentration fragrances. People says its high quality as well. Was going to purchase some, but They don’t ship to Norway where i live 😢
Actually if you want a good performing replacement for ultra male, go for (only when on 50% discount or more) Fragrance One Unisex. I know people hate JF, but it is a similar DNA (not a clone, but same vibe) and it PERFORMS.
What about Armaf Legesi - is it cost to platinum egoiste (which is pretty expensive and hard to get hold off)
What about facconable fragrances? I was thinking of picking up Facconable Royal and Riveria but haven’t pulled the trigger. Heard they’re great, cheap fragrances.
I have a lot actually and I’ll write it here
Afnan tobacco rush - TF tobacco wood
Afnan Rare carbon - TF ombre leather
Afnan Incense - Amouage interlude
Afnan Turathi Blue - Tygar
Lattafa fakher black - YSL Y EDP
I feel you missed here in the beginning. Off my skin Craze is sweet vanilla and lavender bomb. I’d rather wear Pegasus every time. Tres Nuit is just the fresh side of GIT completely missing the earthy aspects of GIT. Love, love Missoni Wave.
Scents that should be on the list are
AFNAN Rare Carbon (TOM FORD Ombre Leather)
DUNHILL icon Racing Red (VERSACE Eros Flame)
AJMAL Kuro / PRADA Luna Rossa Carbon (DIOR Sauvage)
RASASI Daarej (VALENTINO v pour homme)
TED LAPIDUS Altamir (JPG Gaultier²)
You must try all the clones of Maison Alhambra that imitate Tom Ford like Woody Oud, Tobacco Vanille, Lovely Cherry, Toscano Leather, Porto Neroli, Fabulous Intense, etc. I’ve got them all and they are all really good. You should check it out !
How's the longevity of Woody Oud and Tobacco vanille. I read a comment on Chaos Fragrances channel that the performance is awful
@@shajiwahab Performance is comparable to the original. The longevity of Tobacco Touch (Tobacco Vanille) may be slightly less, but the scent is identical. At $25 Canadian dollars on Fragrancebuy, it's a great value.
how does l'aventure compare to cdni edp? especially in terms of performance and sillage. My club de nuit bottle is running out and I really like it so I don't know if I should buy another or try l'aventure.
Hi, Omar. Heard anything about Thameen's Patiala? It's inspired by BR540, but it's less sweet and leans more masculine. lasts for the whole day on my skin with 1 spray, and an insane sillage
Will check it out!
@@SchoolofScent I can provide a sample if needed from a decant
New to the fragrance culture.. after watching videos and reading reviews blind bought (waiting delivery) Missoni P.H. Edp as my versatile blue scent. Would it be redundant if I blind buy the hyped Fakhar Black by Lattafa(Ysl edp clone) ? Which one is better ?
how does the Mancera instant crush compare to the Al Haramain Amber Oud Ruby? Been eyeing both and stuck on which to buy
You need to try the new Armaf Untold. Best BR540 clone
I like how you said at the end if the clone made the og redundant
I really never heard Pegasus being cloying? I own 2 bottles and adore the smell.
Also, I’m not 100% but I think Coolwater came out a little before GIT. ?
Nice video. 👍👍👍
GIT came out 3 years before cool water
how about the new armaf untold compared to rouge 540? I've heard they're similar (some say worse/better) but I have actually never smelt the real 540. I do like untold though.
Asad is great... and missoni pour homme like someone mentioned..
Finally someone who Reviews alexandria Fragrances
oud for glory's opening made me nauseous. Not worth it, even if it is free.
Yea I second that. Same with craze. Both decent clones but not impressive perfumery.
I agree
Totally agree, don't know but it seems very animalic I don't know if that's oud or something else. People around me say that's good, but my nose tells otherwise. And what is important to me is how I feel, don't know if the original is the same.
@@bzpwhx Oud For Greatness is not the same. It is not medicinal like oud for glory. If you have the money, go for the original. If you don't, save up :)
100%agree same with amber and leather by maison alambrah horrible smell like gasoline with roses give me headache and nausea
Omar, must try new UNTOLD by Armaf. It's very close to BR 540 with good performance and projection.
have you checked out AB spirit millionare? It's a 1 million edt clone for about 15$, its soooo goood
Could u do a comparison & review of Lataffa ofg AMETHYST vs INITIO ATOMIC ROSE
L’Aventure Intense is probably the best Creed clone I’ve tried behind Parfums Vintage Emperor. Would recommend anyone to buy the intense version, can’t go wrong for the price point
Agreed, but I'll add that you shouldn't spend too much on it. I got mine for $35 when Jomashop had it in stock, but I've seen it over $50 on other sites.
Sorry but I think that's not what I smell. I own the Original, L'Aventure and club the nuit limited edition. No brain, the latest is a lot more potent and similar to the OG. L'AVENTURE has low projection and a lot nor citrus
@@bzpwhx L’aventure Intense, not the original bud
Did u shoot this before the new armaf clone of BR540 came out?
No parfums vintage mention :/ their clones are good. It is not hard to get them to UK. I also had to pay taxes to get them in EU. I think you should try it, would love to hear your opinion
Can send a link for dunhill desire red if not can you do a review
For me the best clone of layton is al haramain detour noir i have tjem both and are very similar the only diference is the price of course
Cool Water nowadays is nowhere close to GIT but the old one, that is the one that ran for all the 90's to mid-00's, was pretty close relatively speaking as an oakmoss bomb.
Will buy Tres Nuit soon and check that because no frag has come close to old CW without spending hilarious amounts with Creed. Buying an old CW bottle still costs cheaper than GIT.
Today I was wearing afnan 9pm and wherever I go people was unusually friendly and smiley with me . I assume it’s the afnan
Any idea if there's a good Chanel Antaeus clone? 🤔
interesting that you did not mention laventure intense.. Dallas was amazed by it.. saying it is beast mode and all that..
maybe you dont have it and should buy it to compare..
that red tabaco is 💣💣💥💥
Love how Mancera appears on this list as both a clone and something that is being cloned. Really goes to show the uniqueness of that niche house.
Kilian Angel's Share clones = Lattafa - Khamrar, Alhambra - Kismet Angel, Paris Corner - Fire your Desire
You're welcome 🤗
You need to try Club de Nuit Untold. It smell’s actually better than the OG. At least to my nose.
i was pretty hyped when i found out about alexandria frangrances today.
but it kinda sucks that you can only order from their side and have to wait very long for your package to arrive.
first i wanted Zion, but many say the performance sucks.
i want one for the spring/summer, so maybe black panther? many say its really simple, maybe it does make it boring.
whats ur guys experience with alexandria?
im from germany but kinda afraid to order from them as you can only get it from their own english site from the UK, any problems could be a pain in the ass.
Probier mal Eclat. Alexandria/Dua ist nicht wirklich ne Option, da dich der Zoll mit der Einfuhrsteuer nochmal berauben wird. Bei Eclat würde ich auf nen 40% Sale warten und dann zuschlagen
@@gilfhunter42069 stimmt der zoll mischt da ja auch wieder mitseitdem die aus der eu sind.
man UK und USA sind auch so die schlechtesten punkte von denen man versenden kann. allein die versandkosten sind vermutlich enorm. da steht auch das nur royal mail zuverlässig liefert, das ist den ihre express lieferung glaube ich.
eclat sagt mir jetzt nicht wirklich zu und dua soll auch nicht so toll sein, schwache konzentionen/performance.
alexandria sah echt gut aus aber da wartet man gewiss 1-2 wochen auf sein paket -.-"
Missoni Pour Homme is a decent alternative to Blue De Channel.
Smells good but doesn't last long at all.
I bought craze as I couldn't afford a bottle of pegasus and honestly every time i see it recommended I wonder if either my bottle is a fake or people haven't smelled craze. The Vanilla is so strong its sickening and its so overpowering my dog has a sneezing fit and wont come near me. It smells nothing like the pegasus samples I have.
It's disgusting. You're not craze-y
It's amazingly working for me. I blind buy craze and everytime I wear I get compliments. Excellent sillage and longevity for me.
@@markmywords82 smells like almond handwash in a dental practice to me.
Pegasus doesn't appear to get a lot of love from the community in general, but I love it. I have both Pegasus and Craze (both bought a couple of years ago), and I don't know if you just got part of a 'bad' batch, but my Craze is about 90-95%, it's very very close. Pegasus is a bit fresher, and a tiny bit more "elegant", and Craze does seem a little more vanilla-leaning, but not heavily so, and also I'd even go so far as to say that I probably prefer Craze once it turns to a skin scent. But then I probably like vanilla more than your dog, to be fair ;-)
@@KratkeCrteLayton really is nothing uberamazing. It's fine, bud totally designerish.
Has anyone checked out Hawaii volcano by Alexandria fragrances. Apparently it's the best clone of virgin island water.
Can anyone speak to how close Cremo Vintage Suede approaches TF Ombre Leather? 99% of the people you actually encounter in a day cannot discern Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Woman from Unisex Tom Ford Noir de Noir after dry down. I never thought I would wear a rose fragrance - but CDNIW smells expensive and is a crowd pleaser.
The one cologne that has gotten the most compliments is Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du Male...but its discontinued! Can anyone help me in locating a few bottles?
I bought the Afnan Modest Une (2022) as clone for Sauvage EDT, does anyone have any experiences with this?
Tres nuit excellent
You Definitely need to try Khamrah
Will do!
I am curious about this 540 and angel share.. reading about it both seem kind of feminine leading..
so sounds "dangerous" to buy the clones...
I never smell any of them but started to see close of these 2 showing in all videos lately.. so I am curious about it
@school of scent, Al haramain la’aventure is better quality and closer than CDNIM limited edited?
Al haramain la’aventure is the better than cdim LE
Oud for Glory, Detour Noir and Kharmarah are fantastic - use them for grab and go and to spare my discontinued designer frags from overuse. I also have Bentley for Men Absolut (Gucci Pour homme clone) which is a nice office scent
Please make more clone video please😊
Alexandria dark knight please
Why havent i reviewed any fragrances from the company ALT. ? I feel like they have really good clones and theyre a company literally built for it.
Armaf recently released a really good clone of BR 540. Forgot the name of the clone
Untold
Armaf sillage needs to be a clone of Xerjoff mefisto look at the note breakdown on fragranatica.
Tres Nuit is nice
So far from the reviews I've seen the only "niche" Fragrances that I've been sold to are
1. Mancera Red Tobacco
2. Nishane Hacivat
Afnan 9PM is super close to ultramale and more masculine smelling my friend actually wore it today and it smelled so feminine which Afnan 9PM did not at all, and i would say they smell fairly close to eachother
more masculine.. sounds interesting since i tried ultramale and my wife liked and said she could wear it.. so it was a no go to me.. hahaha
The opening Is very sweet (bit sickly) bit the drydown is very nice and also performance is amazing for the price
Jazz Club and By the fireplace clones anyone please??
Can u review Al Mihrab perfume
