great review just ordered al harmain black afgano is it a good clone please advise also purchased suratti tuscan leather and khashkha enjoying both thanks
You're putting in some seriously amazing effort in our understanding of the crowded world of fragrances. I consider you almost a Guru and not a perfume reviewer. My only regret, I came to know about the channel quite recently..and it was then that I smelled Oudh for the first time. And I have fallen in Love with oud. No other element in perfumes is more attractive to me. Thank you and all the very best. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much Exotic scents but Im in America. So thanks again i will purchase black incense and dubai pearl if i can find it on Arabianoud, and ame sombre i try to find samples off ebay. Thanks again sir and have a good day.
Can you please be very kind to write down the name of the creed Tabarone, Royal Oud and Spice and Oud clones please? I love love love your videos but it would be much more helpful if you could please write down the names of the perfumes and oils you havr fill our nose with curiosity.
Hi Nikhil, I have tried different perfumes both designer and Arabic ones from the house of Armaf, Rasasi, Lattafa and more... I love em all, but none of them last more than 2 hrs ..is it because of my skin type? I spray them on my neck nd clothes...plz advise
I work in the middle east so I can get my hand on any arabic brand.. u name it..tats the benefit of living here :-) in the next week or so I plan to try Arabian Oud products :-)
Exotic Scents Hello, after watching this video. I tried Swiss Arabian Kashka yesterday. For me, the opening is similar to some of the famous attars I have tried in the past. What surprised me is the dry down. The dry down is amazing. I had to wait couple of hrs for the actual result..
very thorough video. I have enjoyed you taste in frags and advice. lol, I still love dazzle intense. agreed it is not for everybody 😂. you & Mr. oz have really really got me into appreciating oud too. oh, I reviewed al haramain excellent recently. such a good scent it can be notice even in 40 degree weather in the US. always watching and enjoying your work.✌
Another one that I noticed that has some of the Tuscan Leather vibe is Montale's Aoud Leather. Is it as nice, no, but it is still worth a look see, just because of the price point. Myself I don't get that the ashy quality so much with Tuscan Leather. If you like the whole ashy note, Mona di Orio's Cuir would be the one. Holy Cats. I got a tube of it, I gave it away though.I am in no way putting down the works from Mona.I adore Vanillie from their line. There are some great choices out there regarding clones. Thank you very much for being honest. I am going to be sampling some from the ones you mentioned. Again, thank you. BTW, who is the person you mentioned that you respect here on You Tube ? Oz did you say.
Keep it up 👍. I enjoyed every second of the video. you're putting very high ingredients in these videos 😊 which makes it very enjoyable to watch. Personally, i love attars more than perfumes because i feel like they're more personal to the user. However, i will try some western perfumes aswell in the future. Btw, Thank you for educating us on perfumary.
I thought clones are suppose to be cheaper version of original ones most of the items discussed in this vidoe the clones are somewhat similar price tag to the original ones. As always great informative review thanks Nikhil.
Hello Sir , authenticity of the ingredients for the best organic attars are very rare as most of the dealers in mumbai and elsewhere are either giving synthetics or adulterated inputs hence the output can be expected that way. But the perfumer in his sense thinks that it is in original form Can any of the availabe source educate them to get the right source of natural ingredients . Since Sir you have got such extensive and precesive knowledge can you make an episode on such topic with details they all will be very thankful
Nick bhai another birllient review, have you heard about La astrin Namero 10 its realy good one with incence and wood if you get hold of one pls do review.
This is not about this video, but can you believe that I finaly found the scent I have been looking for since 1998! And I already owned it, but had not tried it. I have been in every headshop, in every western parfumery, looking online and all over the place. Then, this morning, I applied one of the two I had left to try from Al-Muhib. It is called Oud Gentleman. And bang kaboom! It quickly transformed into an incense scent. Sandalwood incense, to be specific. I could not believe it! Needless to say that I love this scent to death, and must order a full tola, if not more. I have just the small 4ml bottle. The scent is like the scent of sandalwood incense sticks, before you fire them up. Which I happen to love. But it also has a sofistication and depths. It is called Oud Gentleman, and the word gentleman is not out of the blue. Because I got that gentleman feeling immediately. A gentleman visiting a headshop, maybe. The indian incense is really present. But there is no hashish note, and that is just fine. But the notes are supposed to be incense, oud, sandalwood, amber and saffron. I can only detect incense and sandalwood. I can "feel" something more, but not pinpoint it, apart from a hint of sweetness. I guess that is the amber. If I knew how oud is supposed to smell like, I'm sure I would pinpoint that as well, since the name of the perfume has oud in it, so it must be present. Maybe it is a smoky oud that transform the sandalwood into sandalwood incense? I feel it is masterful blended. There is no harshness, no off-smell, nothing but smoothness and exotism, and strange enough elegance. Because that is typical not what you can say about incense sticks. They smell great, but are not particularly elegant. Anyhow, it is an amazing scent! Totally amazing! Did I forget to say amazing? So I have been looking since 1998, and blind bought a scent in 2017 than is just spot on what I have been longing for. That must be good karma. And I have to buy more now before bad karma strikes and the scent suddenly is discontinued or something like that.
its 2.45am at my place as i am watching this video and thoroughly enjoying it. i have one request. please review Gucci Oud and suggest an alternative. would be really grateful.
The only nose I trust... And never disappointed, bro you just helped me with my hard earnings and gave me a direction what to look for. A great reviewer and the most genuine nose who has every reason to grow in leaps and bounds... Go Go Go mr exotic scents ;p
I love your chanel ,but i have to disagree BIG TIME with a lot of the comparisons you've made in this video 1.Own and love both Black Afgano and Laudano Nero , and sure they have similar vibe , but they are NOT "exactly similar" by any mean. Laudano Nero is sweater and boozier-i get honey and A LOT of congac in it. 2.Own Dazzle and Coco Mademoiselle EDP was my ex girlfriend favorite fragrance, and to me the are not even close.There is plum in Dazzle - note you don't have in Coco Mademoiselle. 3.Own and love both Kiste and Tobacco Blaze and they share similarities beacause of the peach and tobacco notes, but they are NOT "exactly similar".I don't know the other fragrances you've compaired Kiste with ,so i can't talk about them at all , but Tobacco Blaze is much drier than Kiste , not that sweet with pronounced note of leather.Kiste is sweater,frutier with no leather note in it.
home of Ajmal guys u can get at very cheap price which is oil same name as Tuscan leather fragrance is very close and long last i have been using since 6 years .
Even I am so disappointed by the entire Dua line but refrained from voicing it, Every fragrance in Dua line is very linear and puny when comes to longevity..
LeanandG13 One of the many reasons I like this guy - a lot (not all) of well read Indians speak this way contrary to popular belief. Of course not many have his knowledge and repertoire - that's another story altogether.
We want videos like this. Thank you for your efforts and time. Pure information..
great review just ordered al harmain black afgano is it a good clone please advise also purchased suratti tuscan leather and khashkha enjoying both thanks

Sir, clone for gucci oud intense pls
Sir, I bought oud Mukhallat by Ajmal but the Ajmal logo on top of the cap is missing like you showed in your review video. Does it mean it's fake??
Exotic Scents I bought it from Sikander. My gut feeling says it's original. Amazing massive perfume. It's like living being feel!!
Also, should I buy Rasasi esraa next or Ajmal ruh Al ward oil?
Or Faqat rijal by Rasasi
Exotic Scents did you mean faqat is also superb?
very helpful video ... keep up the good work
I love your chanel ,but i have to disagree BIG TIME with a lot of the comparisons you've made in this video
1.Own and love both Black Afgano and Laudano Nero , and sure they have similar vibe , but they are NOT "exactly similar" by any mean. Laudano Nero is sweater and boozier-i get honey and A LOT of congac in it.
2.Own Dazzle and Coco Mademoiselle EDP was my ex girlfriend favorite fragrance, and to me the are not even close.There is plum in Dazzle - note you don't have in Coco Mademoiselle.
3.Own and love both Kiste and Tobacco Blaze and they share similarities beacause of the peach and tobacco notes, but they are NOT "exactly similar".I don't know the other fragrances you've compaired Kiste with ,so i can't talk about them at all , but Tobacco Blaze is much drier than Kiste , not that sweet with pronounced note of leather.Kiste is sweater,frutier with no leather note in it.
home of Ajmal guys u can get at very cheap price which is oil same name as Tuscan leather fragrance is very close and long last i have been using since 6 years .
nice video kudosssssss
nice bro. time to order some cheap clones .. 😋
Even I am so disappointed by the entire Dua line but refrained from voicing it, Every fragrance in Dua line is very linear and puny when comes to longevity..
What a review dunya mai koi ni takkar mei
your accent is hypnotic
Exotic Scents good
LeanandG13 One of the many reasons I like this guy - a lot (not all) of well read Indians speak this way contrary to popular belief. Of course not many have his knowledge and repertoire - that's another story altogether.
Precisely. Entranced, I watch, listen, and learn.
Do you understand meaning of clone
I tried some of your video everything is mudy
you are the best 1 to 10. 10
super informative
'Exactly the clone of Tuscan Leather with slight variations'
So not EXACT clones then...
Exact: not approximated in any way; precise.
This is crazy lot of information and it requires textual data
Great vid as usual!
Mind blown with your olfactory sense of perception
Exotic Scents my pleasure bhai...love from haryana
awesome
This is an awesome video
the blending is bollox 😂
love your honesty 👍
Tuscan leather cheapest clone = Arab Tradition Nabeel
Macho Man oil from the same house is also a very good clone of Tuscan Leather. I prefer to the spray.
First lol
