I know I’ve commented on this video a few times but I just smelled BDC at Ulta and realized Maitre is an EDT clone and Kings & Queens is almost certainly an EDP clone. It makes a lot of sense now. Also the maitre has gotten better. I think the first few sprays of these middle eastern dupes can be very harsh
@FitxFresh lol it happens all the time or I'll say something smells like something and other people would doubt or question me and I'll start questioning myself like wow am I actually good enough to do this and then I find out know I was actually right on what I was saying
@ this fragrance stuff is all subjective. That being said you’ve got an objectively good channel and I’ve discovered quite a few scents based off your videos
Glad you made this! I like Kings and Queens Blue. I might check out Maitre, but reviews on longevity are mixed. There are more and more clones of BDC now then a few years ago which is great.
Hey man love your channel. I bought maitre de blue upon this recommendation and upon initial spray I really dislike the opening. Smells like a generic lemon all purpose cleaner. Currently comparing it to kings & queens blue and i definitely prefer the kings and queens, at least in the opening. We’ll see as it settles down. Might need to macerate for a while too
@ I feel sometimes with these middle eastern frags you gotta get a few sprays out before they start to be good. I think the dry down was definitely better than the opening
Good video Dustin! I used to have dossier’s citrus and ginger and loved using it in the Florida summer until I gave it away. Been searching for a new BDC clone and saw Maitre de Blue on Jomashop but didn’t know how close or good it could be, now it’s high at my list on options to get👍
Thank you my friend and good scent of the day as always. I was doing a niche today Dyptique Rose Roche. At least that was my scent of the evening my scent of the day was armaf nomad
I don't have any of these. The only bdc clone I have is Blue by Ahmed Al Maghribi. I think it's a very good clone of the EDP. Good dumb reach that won't offend anyone. I personally prefer Shiyaaka Blue but it's definitely not a BDC clone. You can smell bdc in the backbone but it has a very heavy twist. Sweetness is amped up A LOT which I really enjoy
It's not really a true clone of BdC edt or EDP...it has some similarities but I think it is more of it's own thing..just with some similarities of BdC and something else
@comixof2morrow I've been wearing Bleu de Chanel for the past couple days in a row and I'm now test driving iconic and it's almost identical to my nose
@@fragrancefan all my armafs have something I call armaf smell which is like some kind of base chemical/detergent they use. I don't sense this from other brands like lataffa or Alhambra
@angelicsoulz yeah it's very expensive, but honestly iconic is the best I've smelled. I will wear it a couple more times and see the performance. BDC is actually my scent of the day today
@@fragrancefan I find iconic to be the least like marjan silver and maitre, and I read iconic is BDC with a twist, like some added Dylan blue. I find it too soapy
@@JavacRL they buy store returns so it's possible they bought it from Nordstroms. But store returns can also be fake. Pdms boxes are spot on even with the UPC, so you can return it to a store and the clerk will be clueless

@FitxFresh so I'm not going crazy when I say that it's a EDT clone right lol I mean I own the OG and it's just what I smell
@ no you’re not going crazy at all 😂. But i realize now they’re each cloning different fragrances. Maitre = EDT k&q= EDP

missoni and iconic are by far the best, but they're a bit more
Great review! Kings and Queens Blue..goes hard in the warmer months. Imo.😎 Happy New Year everyone!
@@Daybreakhasme oh it's a good fragrance there's no doubt their. It's just not one to one

mine is pretty harsh in the opening. but the dry down after maturing is almost identical to my bdc like annoyingly so lol

Good review Dustin!
thank you

you will like it. I promise lol
kings and queens projects good on me but its a little harsh
yeah definitely harsh
I have Kings & Queens Blue and Maitre de Blue, and I prefer Kings & Queens.
interesting
Same
you'd be surprised how good KC is for gym/backup/refresher to have in your bag...it's a solid one
oh I've wore it to the gym
Great Chanel ! Love the content ! A page of affordable scents reviews ! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
@@MrHARLEMBRONX hey thank you so much.
You should try Missoni pour Homme smells close to BDC
I have it. I just reviewed it on my last video. it's one of my favorite fragrances
For the youtube algorithm 😎✌️ #SOTD drakkar Intense EDP
Thank you my friend and good scent of the day as always. I was doing a niche today Dyptique Rose Roche. At least that was my scent of the evening my scent of the day was armaf nomad
Awesome review bro as always 👏
Thank you so much
Nice to know about! GOD BLESS
yes sir God bless
Marjan silver is a lot stronger than maitre but maitre is usually $15-16 so that's a great deal
I haven't tried that one
It's surprisingly strong, like a 6-7 hour bdc
@kenmastersmaster nice

shiyaaka sounds right up my alley
Iconic is probably the best one
i agree and the most expensive
Yeah but all armaf cdns are overpriced.. For $20 id recommend marjan silver

Comments on yess!
yay lol
Club de Nuit Iconic? Supposed to be a very nice BDC dupe that actually performs better..
I'm actually testing that one out but it's more than $20 so I couldn't make this list
I bought mine for $26 on sale
@fragrancefan
Ok yeah would like to hear your opinion. I got BDC as a gift luckily. Probably my favorite fragrance but so expensive.
@angelicsoulz yeah it's very expensive, but honestly iconic is the best I've smelled. I will wear it a couple more times and see the performance. BDC is actually my scent of the day today

great video idea dustin! i don't want to pay the BDC price lol
Get Maitre. it's close ut honestly the best is missoni
@@fragrancefan missoni wave or Parfum? Or another
@FitxFresh parfum. wave is allure home sport
Ran into a parfums de Marly at Tjmaxx! Still wildly pricey but can’t believe it was there
It's always crazy to see nice fragrances there I've seen Juliette has a gun I've seen Creed a couple times but they usually are about $50 less

@kenmastersmaster yeah but they do have niche fragrances that pop up sometimes
