For me mont blanc explorer is perfect. My batch easily lasts up to 12 hours with medium to long projection and the smell is about 80% aventus with a twist. Absolutely something to try out.
Lattafa Velvet Oud is the best fragrance of this year for me. Use it for work in the morning and everyone in the office is noticing me even clients gave me compliment. And the crazy thing is i used it in the morning with just 5-7 spray and the silage is monster. It stayed strong for 8 hours straight and smell so good.
I would add lattafa oud for glory and Abraaj Valour Night Iris, the latter especially as it will take yonks to get interlude black iris. The Abraaj is a top performer and admittedly would struggle to match the ingredient quality of Amouage but it does smell nice
Out of my 100+ collection nothing touches CH 212. It blends so well with my skin chemistry. As far as compliments its #1. Fresh and clean which no one I know what it is and rarely smell other males wearing scents.
Have you ever tried millesime imperial? You'd be mental to pay for it but Armafs milestone is really good and reminded me of 212. I always smelt a cucumber note in 212 whereas milestone is more melon. Less grassy and more marine maybe. Smell the creed and if you like, get milestone
@@jamesmochan8576 Because of Milestone I'll never buy Creed scents again. It has what MI does not have which was projection and longevity. Smell is 90% similar but more dense and I couldnt be more happier that they cloned it so well
Armaf CDNM iconic. Not a perfect representation of bleu de Chanel but it still smells amazing and lasts so much longer in my opinion. I don' t think you should ever buy a fragrance if you are after compliments (you will only be left disappointed) but this has probably given me the most.
Mauboussin "une histoire.." Encre Noir Sport Lempicka Homme Detour Noir Perfume Parlours Luna Rossa Extreme [ultimate challenge] extrait concentration is probably the best way to spend money imho Also, i have both 9pm and ramz silver. The mid of ramz is better but the 9pm has the better longevity
My 10/10 cheapie recommendation : Rasasi fattan, it’s very cheap, it smells >90% like terre d’hermes edt and it is a better performer than actual hermes batches.
I dunno if it is a 10 out of 10. But FOMO Gary's Den is right up there. It is pretty accessible as a quality DHP clone for the price. Very rich and great bang for buck. Champagne tastes on beer budget so to speak. May not be as easily accessible globally. But a winner nonetheless.
I don't get people saying ultra male isn't a summer frag... I wear mine on warm days and that sweet bubblegum is just perfect on a nice sunny day (or summer evening)
Bought Afnan 9pm recently. Everyone says its long lasting. It wasnt when I bought it. It lasted about an hour and just faded. Ive read lots of people saying the same. Yet some say it lasts for a very long time. So not sure whats going on. I just returned it. Smelled great but longevity was awful.
I understand why people go for clones (price tag most of the time), but I rather support the perfumer/house who came up with a unique scent compared to someone who blatantly makes a copy. They say "imitation is one of the most sincere forms of flattery" and to some extend this is true, although would we all want to live with only cheap knock-offs of our clothes, food, car, phone, perfume etc and not experience the craftsmanship one put into the real deal? For a lot of people the financial aspect is what makes or breaks it, but (from a purely personal point of view) I rather have the real thing or nothing at all. Even if that means supporting an exhuberant company or overpriced house (hello Creed) for that matter. (There are degrees to where that support isn't justified btw) Good video as always and your knowledge really shows.❤

The bottle you used for ultramle isn’t that the “Le Male” parfum? Or are those two the same fragrances? ( Love your videos btw been watching for a while now I’m a 21 year old and pride myself on smelling good so you’ve been a Godsend)
He used Ultra Male. The bottles are very similar. Ultra Male is dark blue with black stripes and has a silver cap. Le Male Le Parfum is black with black stripes and has a gold cap. Sometimes, the lighting can make them look the same.
Also, I tried the latest batch of Creed Aventus recently, and Aventus literally smelled like it's a clone of CDNI. It was also very weak and completely gone from my skin in 2 hours. Complete disappointment. Back home I immediately sprayed CDNI, and if money wasn't an issue, I would still pick CDNI any day. Giving money for Aventus is ridiculous nowadays.
I own both and I can promise they are both unique in their own way. Azzaro smells like dark seductive tuffy Afnan is like a fresh loud bubblegum. Only similarity is they are both loud fragrances
I recently bought detour noir and for the most part i really enjoyed it. however, theres this medicinal note that it has that i do not really like. has anyone else noticed this or am i wrong
Hey Omar I asked in your previous video about where I could get fragrances like jpg, parfum de marley, creed, etc. I live in Texas and I haven't seen like a legit fragrance store I can trust. The only places I know I can get colognes are in malls like Macy's, but idk if they are fake/replicas. I wanted to know where you get yours either if it is online or a store.
What store can i go to and check out some of the cheap fragrances? All of the places near me like JC Penny, Macy's, Sephora, Kohls only sell all the high end stuff. Where can i find the under $40 stuff that I'm seeing in these videos so i can test them out before buying them.
Hey man can you make a video on Rasasi Nafaeis Al Shaghaf ( for man)? It's under 40 dollars and it projects like a nuclear bomb , it's a juicy fruity , a bit aquatic and floral , with a touch of oud perfume , i would really appreciate it if you can make time to check that perfume, love your videos man
Both are AMAZING in there own ways id say both are mUst owns if ur a frag head like myself I wouldn't even put those 2 against each other they both are just REALLY great Fragrances Both of them are 10 out of 10 's imo .... If I run out I get more I'm on my 3rd bottle of CDNM le & I'm on my 3rd bottle of L'aventure 2 bottles of the intense & the 1 I just grabbed that 6.8 oz of L'aventure is awesome but needs to sit & develop because if any do that maceration it's L'aventure it gets aLOT better with time & the cap off
I'd say this about Lattafa Asad. It actually is a pretty accurate representation of Sauvage Elixir. To me it just lacks the potency that Elixir has. Maybe i caught a bad batch but that great performance that people always speak of is something i didn't get. And i had one of the earlier bottles of Asad from when it was freshly released. That Elixir DNA was there for like 2 hours but then vanished sadly. As far as Aventus clones, i still swear by the stupidly titled Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense. Dumb name which takes a jab at the Armaf CDN Limited Edition Parfum. The scent DNA is awesome though. Off the top it has that signature Aventus DNA but the oriental dry down makes it so much more interesting. I also owned Afnan's 9PM at some point. Great fragrance for sure. I'd actually buy several bottles of 9PM for the price of Ultramale. Really good stuff.
L'aventure smells more like a clone of Hacivat, or something between Creed and Hacivat. It lacks depth in my opinion, I can only smell smokiness and pineapple. I really prefer CDNI EDT/EDP/Limited, each in its own way.
What do you recommend as a every day fragrance for younger guys that's not so expensive, I'm thinking of saving up for jpg le Beau le parfum but I'm not sure
for cheap id say you can go for versace pour homme, doesnt last super long and doesnt project super well but for the price it makes you smell fresh and its great for summer
How does the 212 compare to VIP and NYC? Those are the only ones available to me, and I hated BOTH. There's one with weed that I haven't checked out yet tho...
I find that Detour noir on clothes smells indispensable from Layton to me, but off skin, I smell the difference. So depending on how much skin I am showing is the factor to which I wear.

I agree with you on Absolu Aventus. More interesting than the current version is Aventus.
Thank you for sharing! Based on this fragrances list, I already have Al Haramain - L'Aventure, Al Haramain-Detour Noir and Afnan-9pm

You’re missing Azzaro Chrome Legend. Cheap and got lots of compliments from it

Le beau or Le Beau Le parfum for everyday/work
Emir Celestial. Gets that Ganymede DNA but makes it a tiny bit fresher and more wearable.
Would you prefer l adventure the intense version over the normal version?
What do you think about afnan rare carbon? I herd it is the best ombre leather clone
Lalique Encre Noire à l'extrème: 10/10
Lattafa Asad: 10/10

Lattafa Safeer al noble

Burberry London for men
Afnan Supremacy incense

Coach for men. 10 sprays lasts for me. Twice in the same spot for skin.
Club De Nuit Elixr is fantastic and has the projection of much more expensive fragrance
I would put any of the encre noire in the 10/10 category, the best cheap line overall imo
Détour Noir that i recived from notino smelled like a lemon dishwasher, had to return it :( Asad is 10/10!
I get mine from Notino last year and it’s wonderful, nothing to do with lemon imo 😅
It sat on my shelf for almost a year before I started wearing and enjoying it.
Weird, mine isn't lemon at all. Maybe you got the detour rouge version.
