I don’t own many fragrance clones, but I have Detour Noir and also PDM Layton. I totally understand what you’re saying because I didn’t even touch Detour until I was down to the last 10 ml of Layton. Now, I’m using up the clone (a year after I got it).
Started collecting in 2013 after wearing YSL L'Homme on a consistent basis. I'm glad we have so many middle Eastern options. My all time favorite is Armaf CDNI EDP.
Yes, 100% fair point with using expensive fragrances. I bought it to be able to wear it whenever I want to. Even when I go to Tesco I put Armani or Jean Paul Gaultier or for ex. Versace. I don't give a damn and honestly having over 100 bottles now I will never run out of designer juices. Good evening to You, Sir and to everyone watching
Love your content. It’s original and honest so Thank You !! I have quite a few Lattafa/Maison Alhambra fragrances. The one that surprises me is Ameer Al Oudh. I’ve had it for about a year now and when I first smelled it it had a funky new tire smell to me. Over time it’s changed and now I get the beautiful caramelized sugar / vanilla, marshmallow scent and it’s awesome. You have a few I don’t and because of your video those are now on the way !! Thanks again and keep doing your thing .
When I have the original and a really good clone I usually smash the clone all over my body and use the original around my neck, so I’m using the original sparingly but still using it. This method has served me well
The life is too short so wear the better one... because shit happens to you that you couldn't ever have imagined...that hit home. Liked that though interjection
Ansaam Silver, clone of The Most Wanted by Azzaro, and Jasoor, clone of Valetino Coral Fantasy, are excellent scents. I recently got The Kingdom, which mimics JPG Le Male Elixir, it's a great alternative.
Some absolute classics there. And your descriptions on them is pretty spot on. I urge you to pick up lataffa the kingdom if you haven’t already. It’s so so so good. Great longevity. A little sweeter than le male elixer but I’d say slightly better .
Assuming you don't already own them, Lattafa Liam Grey, Lattafa Jasoor, and Maison Alhambra Exclusif Tabac are worth checking out. I enjoy them quite a bit! 🍻
@@ParagonFragrances Not a problem & ditto. I currently have Lattafa Alhambra Smoky (Formerly Tabac) in my cart. I'm looking to offend a few "Karens". Lol! 🍻
18:55 I somewhat feel the same way. I have absolutely nothing against clones (it's the fakes that pretend to be the real thing that I hate) but I find that when I buy a clone of something, if I smell the original, through sampling or whatever, no matter how close the clones are, I end up buying the original anyway, which to me sort of seems like a waste of money, so cut back on some of my spending, I just sample and buy the original.
On love or hate im usually on thr hate side but for some reason I find Zanzibar amazing. It's like a milky sweet earthy coconut chutney with a little spice
That's cool you decided to just do your own thing. Not needing to pick up every new release for the sake of a review. I respect your opinions on what you do review. 👊🏽
Every song is someone's favorite song, and every fragrance is someone's favorite fragrance.
Except for Joop Homme.
Vintage Radio definitely up there for me

Khamrah and Honor and Glory are still my favs from the house! Great video Nate! 🙌

That Paragon mentality of using the OG more than the clone regardless how good or better than clone is is just BASED mindset. Respect.
Initio Paragon mentality?))

I just love The Kingdom, my brother owns Elixir and I can't smell a gap in terms of quality, considering it's a third of the price.

Thanks for the tips! Looking for some good offerings for some pick ups.

The Kingdom Men, Lattafa Hayaati, Lattafa Fakhar, and Al Nashama Caprice are some of my favourite Lattafa's in my collection.
wearing Vintage Radio today in San Diego, cold mornings and beautiful partly sunny afternoons. Go Dodgers!
Halloween Man X layered with the original Khamrah makes a damn good coffee type scent.
I bought Kamrah last year. The opening is a bit strong for me, but that dry down is epic.
Seems like a very honest sit down fragrance review. You’ve earned yourself a fan in me sir 🫡
I resisted getting Khamrah (the OG) for a while, but I'm so glad I picked it up. You might not like it because it is heavily sweet, though.

Aww man.. just as I was getting my popcorn ready for the “gossiping” 😂
I gotta get better at not letting things slip. 🤣
I have to say Khamrah Quickly became a favorite of mine after wearing it
You should try Ishq Al Shuyuk Gold. Leather and vanilla, similar vibes to Bvlgari black and Prada Black
I have Khamrah, Liam Grey, Oud for Glory and Ta'weel. I get a lot of great wearing from Ta'weel and Liam Grey. Just ordered Vintage radio today
Ooh Liam Grey is great, i forgot to add that one, but I love it.
@@ParagonFragrances it's really great, and I have Gris Charnel Extrait too and this one really stands up
Vintage Radio, Anssam Silver and The Kingdom are my favorite..Ishq Al Shuyukh Silver is underrated
Ansaam Silver is so underrated
Qaa'ed, Qaa'ed intense, maison Alhambra Toro, oud najdia, liam grey, Jasoor, Maison Alhambra Expose intense. lataffa Rave Now black, Rave Now White
Niche Emarati - Antique, Zikra, Affection, Nebras.
I don't own any Lattafa now.
My last Lattafa was Asad Zanzibar the last nail in my Lattafa coffin.
I don't think I will ever own any again from them.
I don't blame you.
Zanzibar to me doesn't smell bad. But it's not something I would wear as a fragrance.
Malik al tayoor luxury is very nice
@17:53
HA YAH TEE ffs
@18:48
you are either doing this on purpose or you are seriously dyslexic
Too bad you didnt ranked them. I also like Jasoor in my collection and i am very interested in The kingdom and qaa'ed intense
I understand the cost factor and some people might even like the scent. I’m very tired 6 from the brand and they were all trash.
That's cool you decided to just do your own thing. Not needing to pick up every new release for the sake of a review. I respect your opinions on what you do review. 👊🏽
There's a rumor going around about a new LATTAFA coffee fragrance.
LATTAFA KHAMRAH NAHIM
Zanzibar is one of the worst lattafas
R u from Patagonia or Paraguay?
Colorado
Haha!
