I've recently purchased Shaghaf Oud and Noble Fig. Both are fantastic and incredible values! I also got three other similarly inexpensive gems at that time: Ferrari's Uomo, Raghba's Wood Intense, and Lattafa's Velvet Out. All are criminally underappreciated, imo, and great buys for the cooler weather.
I've really come to love Noble Fig. White tee, Oxford button up, work, wedding, picnic, dinner, warm, cool, whatever... It's just a classy casual beast. And the fig makes you stand out from all the ambroxan in the room
I love these type of vids and I truly appreciate the assist on this for you, Ashton... however, I admit the more I have fallen for this hobby, the more I realize that the originals are the way to go for me... so of course, my wallet has been feeling it😬
What a timely video. I've been looking for soapy fragrances and also S33 for my wife. Literally yesterday I ordered century, mugler cologne and Prada Amber. If century smells like S33 ( which I did not know until I saw this vid) that is a HUGE score as I won't need to buy the original. Although I do like that they compound the original and will put my wife name on the bottle. So I might get it for her for Christmas for that reason.
@@carlosenriquez8412 I got it today. It really does smell like santal 33. I paid 30 dollars plus shipped for a huge bottle on fragrance x. This smells very very much like it!👍
Great video I enjoyed all of the info but can you do a WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY MADE THIS. A positive and negative list. Also I got a suggestion Giorgio Brown Special Edition 👎.
Ana Abiyedh Rouge by Lattafa is another cheap BR540 clone..£14 for 60ml..👍👍Noble Fig is a must have Spring/Summer cheapie. Gets loads of compliments as not your usual Aquatic or Citrus freshie..👍👍
Hey, I was wondering if you knew why no stores seem to carry Burberry London for men? I went to all of my local malls department stores and none of them had it. Thanks, Ben
@@bena2541 With it being an older release they probably won’t carry it as much. Plus if you get it from Ross or Marshalls you’ll pay much less. The online discounters always have it as well for around 20-30 dollars.
Because its older perhaps burberry website i see this one very very often at various local ross stores t.j.maxx and marshalls also i have seen it at the mall in the. Fragrance kiosk out in the middle of the hallways at larger malls. Be well
As always Ash, you give an informative video, thank you sir! Never knew SA Shaghaf Oud was a clone, I enjoyed your review on that along with Attar Al Ghutra. I enjoy them both! Keep up the GREAT work!! I'm watching
@Stereo Typist I'm a niche collector so I have gotten to try most notes and yeah def agree with you but there are notes that cheap fragrances can ruin if they are not done correctly
Would love to be able to go to a store and test any PDM but they don’t stock it anywhere close to me, thanks for the suggestion though I’ll look into it!
I gave all my cheapies away. No matter how well they replicate something expensive, just always come off so unrefined and off putting after a while. Just cant do these anymore lol
I get a similar vibe to Bergamote 22 with Encre Noire Sport. Not the exact same by any means, but I'd even go as far as to say you only need one of the two.
*Cost-effective alternatives that smell like their more Expensive counterparts*
- Rochas Moustache EDP aka YSL Tuxedo
- Bentley Intense for Man aka Chambre Noir
- MontBlanc Individual aka Original Santal
- Ragbda Wood Intense aka By the Fireplace
- Luna Rossa Sport aka vintage JPG LeMale
- Milestone aka Millisime Imperial
- Tres Nuit aka Green Irish Tweed
- Craze aka PDM Pegasus
- CDNIM aka Creed Aventus

I love "cheap alternative" videos. Especially when they give me gift ideas for my wife. Burberry Her 👍🏼
Pls make video on expensive fragrance that smell cheap
Not gonna happen
Hahaha
Please make more cheap fragrances that smell expensive or clone fragrances. I love these type of videos!
I've really come to love Noble Fig. White tee, Oxford button up, work, wedding, picnic, dinner, warm, cool, whatever... It's just a classy casual beast. And the fig makes you stand out from all the ambroxan in the room
Dunhill Century is a superb fragance.
I got century and compared to s33 today. Smells just like it. Maybe slightly less sweet but the sandalwood is dead on
Great video! Love seeing cheap alternatives
I love these type of vids and I truly appreciate the assist on this for you, Ashton... however, I admit the more I have fallen for this hobby, the more I realize that the originals are the way to go for me... so of course, my wallet has been feeling it😬
Nice list Ash. I have Shagaf Oud off of raves from Michella Curly Frag. Love Fig so might try the Ferrari.
Hey Ash. Please review both JOOP! Homme Ice & JOOP! Homme Absolute.
I agree! I’ve been waiting for an Ice review for awhile!!

Brother hi... can u let me know if century is really close 2 s33... I'll appreciate.. thank u!!
@@carlosenriquez8412 I will let you know
@@petbull7038 thank u...!
@@carlosenriquez8412 I got it today. It really does smell like santal 33. I paid 30 dollars plus shipped for a huge bottle on fragrance x. This smells very very much like it!👍
@@petbull7038 wow... thank u... I'll order me one... take care brother!!
Awesome video Ash. I looooove Noble Fig from Ferrari. One of my fave cheapies! 👍
Great 📹 and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I'm an addict to le labo ylang ylang I love it and mix with other fragrances trying to achieve gucci pour home 2 scent 👍
Does the duhnill also have the dill smell?
Ana Abiyedh Rouge is a fantastic alternative to BR450. Available for about £13.00 ($20) on Ebay. Lots of reviews on RUclips - highly recommended
What about Rosewood Amor for BR540??
Great video I enjoyed all of the info but can you do a WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY MADE THIS. A positive and negative list. Also I got a suggestion Giorgio Brown Special Edition 👎.
Another great vid. I was thinking of getting century, but never actually made the connection with santal33. Guess I haven't worn it in quite a while.
Ana Abiyedh Rouge by Lattafa is another cheap BR540 clone..£14 for 60ml..👍👍Noble Fig is a must have Spring/Summer cheapie. Gets loads of compliments as not your usual Aquatic or Citrus freshie..👍👍
Just wondering.
If you did 5 expensive fragrances that smell like cheap ones, would it be the same list?
lol
Scent number 1 by Zara is also pretty close to santal 33, cost me 13 dollars, not bad at all.
What about longevity enlighten the masses.
@@ferdinandcarson8685 It is not that bad actually, for me lasts about 6 hours, for a cheapie you can not expect much more.
Dunhill Century is phenomenal!
Hi... is really century close to santal 33?? Thank u 4 ur answer..
@@carlosenriquez8412 Never tried Santal 33, so I can't speak to that. All I can say is that Dunhill Century is a must have and well worth the price!
@@jalphabet5 ooh ok... thank you 4 answer me. 👍
Great video as always.
Noble Fig ❤️❤️ so affordable
Dunhill century must see if I can get it in a oil.
Hey, I was wondering if you knew why no stores seem to carry Burberry London for men? I went to all of my local malls department stores and none of them had it.
Thanks,
Ben
You can usually find it at rack stores. I’ve seen it in Ross and Marshalls
@@TheFragranceWardrobe ok, thanks for the recommendation. I was just surprised that it wasn’t at Dillards, Macy’s, or the Sephora store in JC pennys

Not big on Century’s opening but I love the dry down

Ferrari Noble fig is ❤️!
Great video I enjoy these. . How’s the wife been? She hasn’t been on in awhile with you.
Zara’s S4ND4LWOOD smells very similar to Santal 33
I have the Ferrari Noble fig and really like it
Expensive fragrances that are worth the price. I'm waiting on that video.
Galleria perfumes 😚
@Stereo Typist I'm a niche collector so I have gotten to try most notes and yeah def agree with you but there are notes that cheap fragrances can ruin if they are not done correctly
@Stereo Typist I do. I have ani, hacivat, spice bazar , fan your flames, and other one coming
@Stereo Typist that's great. Ani is so great in autumn and winter time. I love the sillage it leaves behind
@Ivan Alexander sillage and longevity would be main thing I think most would agree
I find Riffs Forever Absolu a very close cheaper alternative to BR 540.
Noble Fig is phenomenal 👌
I need amuaoge clones or carner barcelona clones please 🙏.
Ash, what about Riifs Forever Absolu as probably the best clone for Bacc Rouge 540 ?
Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge is the best clone of BR540.
Any cheap alternatives to galleria perfumes? Asking for a friend
Awesome video 🙂
Could you review Byredo Black Saffron? Niche fragrance and it supposedly smells like a more wearable version of Tuscan Leather
Try PDM Godolphin, it’s more fruity than TL so I would say more wearable
Would love to be able to go to a store and test any PDM but they don’t stock it anywhere close to me, thanks for the suggestion though I’ll look into it!
You can get samples online, just check out Facebook groups etc. You can get a 2ml cheap to try it
I gave all my cheapies away. No matter how well they replicate something expensive, just always come off so unrefined and off putting after a while. Just cant do these anymore lol
Sunset riot by all saints is very very similar to br540 and also a fairly cheap one
Smell black Bold by Kenneth Cole and tell me you don't get that Bleeker Street vibe
I was wondering if you knew of an alternative to Memoir Man by Amouage?
you need to try lattafa - oud for glory
Discovery set?
Dunhill Century. Has been my go to since launch. Love it! High quality. Long lasting. Bottle too! Best stock up before price goes up,!
Hi... from 1 to 10.. how close is to s33?? Thank u 4 ur answer!!
Ashton I have used Cloud before I got Baccarat Rogue in the oils, I have Burberry Her so I feel you all are in oils
Noble Fig
ted lapidus poker face is great scent at a cheap price
I like these kinds of vids, but I’ve learned going cheap burns me 9x out of 10. Cheap “gems” really are rare.
I get a similar vibe to Bergamote 22 with Encre Noire Sport. Not the exact same by any means, but I'd even go as far as to say you only need one of the two.
Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge is a great BR540 dupe
How about a video which is the exact opposite of this one maybe ?
Century turns my stomach...very weird opening
So this is the new thing? Videos without actual bottles.
first!
👍👍👍
👍👍💯💯
Oud illuminati lol🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Can we get top 10 scents for strippers please ? 🤣🤣🤣
Vanilla extract mixed with glitter
