I am a sucker for clones, even if they are spot on, or close. The excitement of smelling a clone and the anticipation of whether it will be close or not. Even if the clone ends up being a dud and isn’t close, it is still fun.
I started of clones and now I own 4 Creeds, GITweed, Creed Cologne, and waiting on Viking and Viking Cologne.👍Hesitation on Creed Aventus because my ClubDeNuit Limited is so spot on Aventus. But eventually I know I will...😁
I’d love to see a 4 seasons video where you describe 3 or so different scent categories that fit well into each season and offer top tier and budget versions of each!
Pineapple Vintage EDP is my favorite aventus clone. It smells exactly like the Aventus 2016 batch. Smell lasts literally 12hrs. I always get compliments
@@jasonmelo9379 I don't have Tobacco Blaze or Shurah ( which I understand are similar). How do you like TB? Do you like it more than Ambergris Shower? Please, let me know.
@@miguelmoreno6263 if you want something really unique, look up Al haremain solitaire. It's in the same vein as tobacco blaze, but it's my favorite out of all these smokey iris based scents.
Armaf (Sterling in general) are amazing, I assume the can keep up such a great quality for such low prices because they don't comply to IFRA restrictions, therefore they can use ingrediants which the original brands can not use. these brands have to use more expensive ingrediants, that do not smell better.
I also would love to hear your thoughts on Alexandria fragrances and Samy Andraus. I have Royal Equestrian ( Layton )Alexandria and Blue Sapphire ( Elysium) from samy. Both are great in my opinion.
Great topic video and I enjoyed it and I like Mont blanc explorer and Bentley for men intense and I'm going to try the other clone fragrances and have a blessed day
Man you are the greatest and most level-headed guy of all the fragrance people (who usually act like some wannabe clowns....Curly thing included.) You are just a normal guy that doesn't play that he is something that he is not. Your opinions have much higher and more authentic value than the others thanks to that. Keep on doing great work!! And big thanks for the tips!
@@gabriel.birschner speaking for Creed, those are two different scents ! Both great for summer but one is floral & inky and one is on the fruity fresh side IMO 🤷🏽♂️
I have Club De Nuit Sillage. I don’t get any Mountains with Snow or Ice or Streams or Crisp Air. What I get is Rose or Rose / Sweet type of Drinking Tea.
That's the thing with Armaf clones, I have the real deal SMW and Sillage, they are only similar when you smell the drydown and on the air when you catch a whiff of it. The opening and if you smell it up close are still worlds apart. But can't complain though, given the price difference.
I don't know what armaf sillage you have but mine smells exactly the same dry down and opening I get no rose at all. The fragrance apprentice and radolessence agree with me soo?
Hey Ash, can't believe you haven't yet got your nose on Afnans latest Aventus clone: Supremacy not only intense! It is now my signature scent, lasts for ages projects well, very smooth from opening compared to other clones and garners ton of compliments too. Not only that it's around £65 for 100ml bottle in UK right now
I own craze, gave it out to my sis not that it was bad but cos she didnt have a fragrance. Its undoubtedly the best Pegasus clone i have ever seen. Performance is incredible.
Royale Stallion by Al Haramain is a spot on clone of Pegasus. Surprised you didn’t add that one in there. I’m not really a fan of clones but o gotta give that one props where it’s due.
I'm glad that I've already ordered 5 of the 10 perfumes you've reviewed. CDIM, Milestone, Tres Nuit Craze & I've tried Insurrection II Wild. I can't wait🤗
@@bmoneybby they are fantastic believe me, especially Club De nuit intense man by armaf. I can confidently say that all that I've acquired smell divine
I want to hear the rest of that office story! Ever though about doing a fragrance story time? Share interesting or embarrassing stories about trying out fragrances or people noticing your fragrance?
Al Haramain Detour noir gets very close to pdm layton which I love 🥰 The portfolio is a quality scent I adore it, but ironically a few ladies I know weren't taken with it, meh go figure.
really want to find a perfect clone for ombre leather, Herod, spicebomb extreme, dior intense, valentino intense... those are dis or reformed now and hardly to find any clone for it :( I can't affort with that price and have to overspray
@@hyakub I do get a bit of that smokiness too which I love! It's more of a leathery smokiness than incensy smokey. Never tried Godolphin, will try to get my hands on a decant if I can
It's one of those scents that even if you don't like that style of fragrance, you can appreciate the perfumery for what it is. Assuming it's around in 15 years, I'll probably wear it then, but being in my 20s it's not something I'd wear currently.
I agree with the love from the community. And given its relatively low price, worth buying it. But it is definitely not for every one. I am in my 50s and, although I wear it from time to time, it's not one of my favorites.
I bought a bottle of real Silver Mountain Water and wore it out one night and my wife's friend that was with us didn't say a word about it. Another of their friends (a man) showed up wearing A&F Fierce and my wife's friend immediately told him he smelled fantastic. It was at that moment I decided I will never spend money on the real thing for any fragrance ever again.
Women are very polarized. Some prefer strong masculine scents and other like juvenile almost feminine scents. I was baffled when my mother prefered A&F First Instinct Together to Tobacco Vanille. Wear what you like. Stop looking for compliments or you will always be disappointed.
To me Explorer isn't that close to being like Aventus. You can say it falls under the same scent genre but there are a lot of them and I'm sure Aventus even was "inspired" by them too.
Explorer seems to be Mont Blanc's revenge for Creed being inspired by Individuel when they made Original Santal. Personally, I think Explorer has a similar opening to Aventus without being smoky. The dry downs are where they differ.
As always great content, entertaining and educational. Cheers from Texas, Ash. I own Neroli Canvas great quality and very very close to par to Tom Ford.
Alexandria inspired frags are typically 95-105 % of the inspiration. Really love that house. Not a huge fan of their original creations tho. Oops. But the inspos are PERF.
I think a better Pegasus clone is also a Al Haramain fragrance ( Royale Stallion) , a Black Tuxedo clone that should've been mentioned is Rochas Moustache EDP.
I have never smelled YSL Tuxedo, but many reviewers say Rochas' Moustache EDP smells very similar (and for a much more affordable price). So, I bought Moustache. I do like it but don't love it. My wife likes it more than me 😄
If I wanted to stick to 2 signature fragrances per season, what would you suggest? So far, I love Sauvage 2018 edt, Creed Vetiver, JV Artisian, and Artisian pure , Bal d afrique, Prada Black, Jack Black, Thomas Kosmala #8..
Yeah Argis isn't a clone house but I agree with you, Bacio Immortale is an amazing frag and I also like it better than TL from TF. Great call on that! Probably the best from the house of Argos along with Triumph of Bacchus. Again though, Argos is a genuine Niche House so definitely not a clone house. I understand what you meant though. You were just saying that Argos' Bacio Immortale was a better alternative than TL and again I agree 100%.
Nice reviewed Ashton, i'm Surprise you reviewed a clone becouse i thought you hate clone, but you make people not have a huge bugget like me happy, of course after this i'm target to hunt another best to my collections.
What do you think of Perfume Parlour? I have their version of Layton, I can the tell difference from the real thing, but it is only a slight difference. Performance is almost the same.
Hey Ash 👋.....I hope you enjoyed your weekend... Would you do a video about top 5 or favorite Dua frangances....(it would be greatly appreciated.. By the way I love that lataffa..
Can you do a review of eBay/Amazon random ‘niche’ fragrances? You know the ones that come up as a ‘you may be interested in’ when you type in a regular brand, the ones that look really fancy and mysterious, often from Arabian type places but are fairly cheap. Thanks.
Hello Ash! do you know of any clones of Zegna's Indonesian Oud or Comme des Garçons 2? they're some of my favourite fragrances that I've owned, but they're a bit too expensive and want something that I can afford more often
wearing oud for glory right now! I saw your review after I smelled the initio in store, and it's pretty much 1:1. just don't over spray y'all, it will CHOKE YOU OUT
When it comes to Aventus clones, I feel like Al Haramain L'Aventure is the best I've smelled to date, including CDNIM and others. I think the only knock I have with it is that it doesn't last quite as long as Aventus does. Another one that I loved was Dua Poseidon Cologne. Smelled very, very close to Aventus Cologne.
The only throwback that CDNIM has is the harsh opening, but wait 10-15minures and you'll get 99% Aventus on your body. They even refine it again with the EDP version and the last one is the EDP Limited Edition like mentioned in this video. It's got far more smoother than the harsh opening that EDT got.
I bought last year the Tre nuit and I wear it once and I gave it to my best friend because he love it. Me, I can't smell it at all. Something must be wrong with my nose :(
3:53 The best recommendation in the history of recommendations. I cannot get enough of this it is absolutely amazing. I have never felt so confident wearing a cologne in my life. (Yes I destroyed you in the comments re: Milestone [ARMAF rankings]. Yes, it was worth it. I still respect you. But don’t ever recommend Milestone ever again 🤮.)
@@rutabaga7700 True, but I found it for 25 bucks for 90 ml and I actually layer it with the real thing. There's a very slight difference between the two that actually makes them work really well together.
I have many ard Al Zafaraan and most of them are lacking in quality. But midnight oud is definitely a stand out in terms of projection, longevity and actually smelling alot like it's "inspiration"
You should check out the house of Areej le dore which uses 100% authentic real ingredients even for musk and castoriam. And it is around 190- 200 bucks for a 30ml bottle. They also offer 10ml for 80 bucks of any scent. You should check it out. Kinda bored of seing the same brand again and again. Chanel dior creed mfk blaa blaa try out of something new💖
@@kypsunrider5983 I'm not sure what you are referring to...what is four times the price? Pegasus at discounters is twice the price of Royal Stallion as least at the one I shop at ( $169 vs $79).
@@MrRZA3636 Well you're certainly entitled to you opinion but for me it's Stallion. I have both of them in my collection and have worn each multiple times . In terms of are very close but again to me Stallion is blended better and that blending makes it smoother from start to finish.
Ash how about versace oud noir as a oud wood clone. It always gets compared I've noticed reviewers don't really talk about oud noir anymore. Has it been discontinued?
Hey Ash try the new "Afnan Supremacy in Oud" (like Initio oud for greatness) or "Supremacy not only intense" (like Aventus) Great chanel!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
In Oud doesn't really small like Oud For Greatness. It's a fantastic fragrance, just not quite the same. It's better in my opinion, less of that rubber tire vibe. Not Only Intense basically smells like Aventus and BR540 made a love child. Not necessarily a creed clone, but more of a creed 1up IMO
Hi I'm from South Africa, I bought perfumes in one of the popular fragrance site but it seems like it doesn't work for me because I haven't received my order.. Can you please do a review for Rio Perfume I wanna buy from them.
Parfum Vintage love? Emperor Extrait and Emerald Isle and Senses Obliteres (Interlude)? You mentioned Neroli Canvas but not Royal Stallion for Pegasus.
No, it's not. It's not a clone at all, had both Tuscan and Velvet oud, compared them side by side. They are in the same ballpark and Velvet Oud is nice, but it's nowhere near Tuscan Leather.
I cant get La Yuquam to last longer than 3 hours. Got it about 2 months ago. It is about 90% there but before lunchtime its not even a skin scent. Anyone else have this issue?
Can you do some reviews on Dua fragrances? Lots of guys are reviewing them, but I think they’re pumping the brand because they’re getting free stuff… would really appreciate your two cents
Al haramain neroli canvas is great 99+% killer longevity, dossier clone is 99+% too slightly less longevitybut still smashes the tf (which was one of my first 50ml buys back in the day, so kinda a first love along w tobacco vanille and charuto TV is a 98% copy of that slightlyless proformance but blind ud prob not kno. Youre welcome.).
I am a sucker for clones, even if they are spot on, or close. The excitement of smelling a clone and the anticipation of whether it will be close or not. Even if the clone ends up being a dud and isn’t close, it is still fun.

Ash, what do you think of Midnight Oud by Al Zaafaran as an alternative to Amouage Interlude? It's only around $40.00
Some people say it does smell like it. I would go with the og tho because the 2021 batch is closer to what it was at the beginning.
It’s a beast. It has legit choked people out at my home. Personally recommended it but just be easy on the spray!!!🥂
Ash reviewed Midnight Oud, search for the video in his channel entering the frag name
I have many ard Al Zafaraan and most of them are lacking in quality. But midnight oud is definitely a stand out in terms of projection, longevity and actually smelling alot like it's "inspiration"
40 bucks? bought it for 10 euros.
You should check out the house of Areej le dore which uses 100% authentic real ingredients even for musk and castoriam. And it is around 190- 200 bucks for a 30ml bottle. They also offer 10ml for 80 bucks of any scent. You should check it out. Kinda bored of seing the same brand again and again. Chanel dior creed mfk blaa blaa try out of something new💖
Al Haramain Royal Stallion is a great alternative to Pegasus as well. I find it better well blended and smoother than Craze.
At 4 times the price or more..is not cheap.
@@kypsunrider5983 I'm not sure what you are referring to...what is four times the price? Pegasus at discounters is twice the price of Royal Stallion as least at the one I shop at ( $169 vs $79).
No way Bro ill put money on Craze Being better
@@MrRZA3636 Well you're certainly entitled to you opinion but for me it's Stallion. I have both of them in my collection and have worn each multiple times . In terms of are very close but again to me Stallion is blended better and that blending makes it smoother from start to finish.
Royal Stallion is 130€, craze is only 30€. That's what he mean by 4 times the price. I also won't buy clone for 130€, better buy designers fragrances.
That la Yukawam pour homme is more like ELDO's Rien Intense Incense to some extent, imo. Very nice and smoother.
la Yuqawam is the bomb. I own two bottles in case it is discontinued. great review Ashton!
Might have to pick it up and I've been holding off for too long. $40 for tester without cap though. Is it a beast? I still have my decant some where.
@@itsatrap4986 I lasts on me easily 8 plus hours with ok projection for a few feet
I had mine for maybe 4 years, still have 99% left. Quite obnoxious and borderline unwearabe. My wife hates it.
Found some awesome fragrances for the hubby thanks to your channel. Thankies😊
I really love your personality Bruh
Neroli Canvas is even better than Neroli Portofino, it's so much more long lasting, sadly is quite expensive for 200
Ash how about versace oud noir as a oud wood clone. It always gets compared I've noticed reviewers don't really talk about oud noir anymore. Has it been discontinued?
Ash - can you advise on a clone for Gucci Envy, it's my all time favourite fragrance from my youth and I need it again!! Cheers
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks Ash.
Are any of these citrus oud fragrance please? If not can you kindly do a video with this topic?
Hey Ash try the new "Afnan Supremacy in Oud" (like Initio oud for greatness) or "Supremacy not only intense" (like Aventus)
Great chanel!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
In Oud doesn't really small like Oud For Greatness. It's a fantastic fragrance, just not quite the same. It's better in my opinion, less of that rubber tire vibe.
Not Only Intense basically smells like Aventus and BR540 made a love child. Not necessarily a creed clone, but more of a creed 1up IMO
Hi I'm from South Africa, I bought perfumes in one of the popular fragrance site but it seems like it doesn't work for me because I haven't received my order.. Can you please do a review for Rio Perfume I wanna buy from them.
Anyone know of clones of; Guerlain Tonka Imperiale and (the excellent) Xerjoff Ivory Route?
Much appreciated
nice Ash.. i think i may try Armaf Sillage then :)
You won't regret, I purchased yesterday it is really a masterpiece on my clothes its lasted for 22 hours
The best Tom Ford Neroli Portofino clone is King Fragrances Sea Waves. $31 for 30ml parfum concentration. Incredible.
Parfum Vintage love? Emperor Extrait and Emerald Isle and Senses Obliteres (Interlude)? You mentioned Neroli Canvas but not Royal Stallion for Pegasus.
Very Nice Ash!
Love your channel man, thank you.
Very informative and useful! Have you reviewed any of the Milton Lloyd clones yet? Like The Man Silver (Kouros) and/or The Man Cobalt (Fahrenheit)?
Lattafa's Velvet Oud is also a great clone of Tuscan Leather.
No, it's not. It's not a clone at all, had both Tuscan and Velvet oud, compared them side by side. They are in the same ballpark and Velvet Oud is nice, but it's nowhere near Tuscan Leather.
@@bkorodi1797 agree
I cant get La Yuquam to last longer than 3 hours. Got it about 2 months ago. It is about 90% there but before lunchtime its not even a skin scent. Anyone else have this issue?
EXCELLENT STUFF. THANK YOU!
Can you do some reviews on Dua fragrances? Lots of guys are reviewing them, but I think they’re pumping the brand because they’re getting free stuff… would really appreciate your two cents
Ash, you gotta try Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense
What is the best Amouage Royal Tobacco clone ?
Al haramain neroli canvas is great 99+% killer longevity, dossier clone is 99+% too slightly less longevitybut still smashes the tf (which was one of my first 50ml buys back in the day, so kinda a first love along w tobacco vanille and charuto TV is a 98% copy of that slightlyless proformance but blind ud prob not kno. Youre welcome.).
Youre definitely in my top 3 fragrance channels!
That's exactly what I've been waiting for for the past few months. Finally Ash.
