Wonderful and helpful video. Thank you Michael. Lots of great scents… I love Missoni Wave and Alexandria Ferocity ( a compliment magnet for sure! ). Since Dior Homme Eau was discontinued before I could partake, I just ordered Dua’s clone version to try. I’m excited to see the similarities to Prada L’homme. I’ll share my thoughts when it arrives. Have a pleasant nite!
Goodness. What did u do record it while watching my video. Ur like the flash of fragrance reviewing. Well done. Beware of commenters coming at u for calling missing wave and the banana republic a clone (even tho they do smell like they are). Anytime I even mention it in a clone video as inspired by people try to chop my head off
@@FragranceDOUD lol I wasn’t kidding about the inspo sorry about the grand theft auto style topic hijacking. …they can come for me I couldn’t care less. “You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
Outstanding job as usual Michael, I enjoy Banana Republic Fragrances. Been wanting to try Gary's Den. JEAN LOWE IMMORTEL!!!STAY SAFE BROTHER SOTD LATTAFA MOHRA ( HALFETI CEDAR CLONE)
Great video Michael. I personally try and stay away from "clone"/heavily inspired by fragrances; as I try to prefer to stick to original creations but I know this video helps a lot of people because they need to stick to affordable price range frags. You mentioned some of my favorite scent DNAs I also love the L'Immensite, Invictus Aqua, and Blue Moon Ginger Dash scent DNAs. Legend Spirit, and Missoni Wave can be excellent starter fragrances for a guy just starting a fragrance wardrobe as one of their first Three frags. Extreme versatility can wear it anywhere, gym, chores, work and also just very likeable, compliment worthy scent profile.
@@patrickpolak2402 I hear ya. There’s so many out there I had to let everyone know about the ones that are legit. It’s been a while since I’ve done a clone video so figured it was time after watching Randy’s video.
I have the Dior Homne parfum. I bought a couple years ago. I haven’t even taken it out of the plastic. I might as well wait and see how much it will eventually sale for. Nice work as usual. Cliff
Yeah had no clue midnight hour was done by same perfumer that's interesting,your getting a good copy of the original then,with not as high quality ingredients as you mentioned, need to check it out then sometime
Yes good video! The name was supposed to be changed to frangrance fraternity den! Need to email them again lol! Anyway legend spirit awesome! Signature worthy for sure.talk later.
I have three bottles of OG DHP and three bottles of FOMO Gary's Den. I just recently picked up Alexandria's Leather Intense. I have a feeling the DNA will be getting very hard to find moving forward. Watch what happens to DHI next.
@@shmoopiebear it’s safe to say you also are a fan of designer iris lol sadly I missed the boat on DHP but thankfully my bottle of DHI and Gary’s Den do the trick.
Have you tried Envy Of Fomo? It's a clone of the discontinued Gucci Envy. For the price I feel it is as good as the recently released Gucci Guilty Elixir. Cheers.
Moonlit Night has been supplanted by FA Paris' Lumiere Garcon, a superior clone. Moonlit Night has a synthetic opening. Clones just keep getting better. But prices are increasing appropriately, also.
Yes, I think longevity and versatility is important information. Sometimes one would prefer to wear something not so nuclear, like in an office or professional setting. Also, knowing the strength and projection factor can also determine if we’d need to carry a decant to refresh if desired. Leaving out info like projection, sillage, and versatility is an incomplete review brother. Ijs. Thanks!
@ yeah if it’s something you haven’t tried yet I see your point but if you already own the bottle you’ll know if you want to carry a decant. Will try to get all the info in on the next one

@@henrythornton7931 Thanks for watching Henry! Please let me know what you think when it comes in.
@@FragranceFraternityI sure will, my finely fragranced friend. 👍🏻
Two of my favorites right now is Liquid Brun (PDM Althair) and Rifaaqat (YSL Babycat). Can’t afford the OGs, these get me close enough
@@BMasu808 I’m happy to hear those are working well for you. Thanks for watching Blaine

@@avawebb3073 I applaud your discipline. If I had that in my possession it would be opened immediately lol thanks for watching Cliff!
I’ve tried to tell people about Mystical Amulet of Blue. It’s solid! Nice video!
@@SillageSaint definitely! Thanks for watching til the end I appreciate the support

@@vanceneal1701 yeah not often that happens. Midnight hour is pretty solid but you have to be a fan of the Aventus dna to enjoy it.
Good stuff FF
@@gianhernandez8683 Thanks Gian I appreciate you
NICE LIST 🔥🔥🔥
@@KylerBorn I appreciate you Kyler thanks for stopping by
@@FragranceFraternity I might have to get a bottle of Midnight Hour. I'm hoping to find a bottle of Vintage Radio at Burlington
Yes good video! The name was supposed to be changed to frangrance fraternity den! Need to email them again lol! Anyway legend spirit awesome! Signature worthy for sure.talk later.
@@vanceneal1701 yes perhaps den would be more appropriate 😂 just a few more frag videos and I’ll be ready for the penthouse apartment background
@FragranceFraternity LoL,ok

@@FragranceFraternity Another reviewer recommended these three. Valentino Uomo Intense. Prada Homme Intense. Montblanc Intense Leather. Worth checking out. Cheers.
@ Yes those are solid. Prada Lhomme Intense probably my favorite of the 3. Good suggestions.
Have you tried Envy Of Fomo? It's a clone of the discontinued Gucci Envy. For the price I feel it is as good as the recently released Gucci Guilty Elixir. Cheers.
@@shmoopiebear I have not but I heard it’s pretty good. The whole FOMO lineup seems solid. Will be interested to see what they do next.
Moonlit Night has been supplanted by FA Paris' Lumiere Garcon, a superior clone. Moonlit Night has a synthetic opening. Clones just keep getting better. But prices are increasing appropriately, also.
@@shmoopiebear never heard of that one before thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching!
Rasasi Layuqawam. Best TF Tuscan Leather dupe. Period.
Grea list
@@vincefry9225 thanks Vince. Dua made the cut!
@FragranceFraternity love the Dua love
#2 Boom boom😊
@@sinjint13 yessir I appreciate you watching
Not mentioning longevity and versatility? Boooooo..... Lol.
Longevity is subjective and for versatility if you think about it do you really need me to tell you when to wear your fragrance?
Yes, I think longevity and versatility is important information. Sometimes one would prefer to wear something not so nuclear, like in an office or professional setting. Also, knowing the strength and projection factor can also determine if we’d need to carry a decant to refresh if desired.
