10 Cheap Clone Fragrances IDENTICAL To Their Expensive Original

[@adamgoodrum8730]

I hate to disagree but Imperium is not worth it. Scent doesn’t last and has a cheap smell compared to the original Roja. You absolutely get what you pay for.

[@AllisonRoadWest]

+1 lots and lots of these are MID and essentially 20% the quality of the original. The "almost identical" or "as close as you can get" is starting to be BS as other KZbinrs are showing in their tests.

[@philipphawk]

Gotta agree, Imperium didnt work for me either and neither did Emir

[@helmutk.6226]

I can confirm this a 100%

[@armanvicenci1987]

Mines different. I think I got it fully macerated. At first it does not perform but after 3 months its a beast.

[@RirtyDascal]

I feel the same about Renheit. I've been searching endlessly for a cheaper alternative to Fahrenheit Le Parfum, and have just had zero luck. Renheit is in the ballpark, but it doesn't really hold a candle to the original.

I love PDM Herod for wintertime. The reason i bought Hercules from Alhambra and oh boy what a scent, its a 1:1 dupe. the tabac is a tad more vanillic but it is a beautiful scent. Its a blindbuy if you like sweet tabac scents.

[@TheGodji80]

Hi buddy ! This guy never responds and doesn’t care about interesting matters about perfumery. He just wants people to buy using his codes and people to view, comment and subscribe… You should check elsewhere about macération vs maturation, other reviewers have adresses this topic 🙂

At that point I don’t get why you keep saying Khamrah is a dupe of Angel’s share to be honest. The 2 scents have nothing to do with each others and there are a bunch of great AS alternatives right now. Khamrah is more of a dupe of Datés delight or Sava from Gissah. And Sharaf blend is a dupe of… Khamrah 😅

Khamarah/sharaf zimaya may be alternatives with twist but absolute banger in terms of performance logevity & being identical is Kismet Angel / Magic. (I macerated mine for over 12 weeks to make it perfect)

[@abboed.4076]

13:33 The boxes are even (much) more identical, like 99%. I have them standing next to each other. 🤓

I wish I could like Khamrah Qahwa as much as the original one but that coffee note interrupts the smoothness

[@joaomaximiano1130]

And the coffee note kind of smells like coconut to me for some reason

[@Kamiru0]

@@joaomaximiano1130 because arabic coffee isn't just brewed coffee beans. Qahwa in the Middle East is actually a more complex drink, full of spices, especially cardamom.

[@JonathanJ159]

I smelled the khamrah frag then got a bottle of angels share and ive got to say they are not similar at all, khamrah is way sweeter and the opening smells like harsh body mist, while you can actually distinguish notes in angels share. Angels share is more of a woody vanilla gourmand and khamrah is a sweet gourmand

[@jaidarling8855]

One thing to keep in mind about the Sharaf is that it's parfum concentration as opposed to Khamrah being edp.

[@bkameka69]

Maison Alhambra has some really quality clones. I recently bought Delilah, a Delina clone, and we were in shock as to how close it is. I also have tobacco touch and it is very close to Tobacco Vanille. Gonna have to try that Hercules

L’Oréal has an outlet chain that sells their brands suuuper cheap . It’s called Luxury Beauty store . I’ve bought Ralph’s club purple lable for $35 .. yesterday I picked up a bunch of jazz club . Two 100 ml refill bottles for $35 each and then a set … 30 ml bottle with a 100 ml refill for $51. I ended up with 330 ml for less than retail for 1 bottle .. no need for that clone

Forget Lucianno (I tried). If you want the closest scent profile of Imagination, go to Alexandria’s dupe (Visionary). Side by side to LV, Visionary is 95% the same.

[@osmathgreenle8986]

Most are looking for the closest scent profile for the most "cost efficient" price. So price then scent quality, similarities, and for a bonus, if it has a slight twist to it.

[@joeyswaney8497]

That Woody Oud is a very nice fragrance indeed.

[@user-sp8uo4or2g]

To me vertex on its own is a brighter more versatile green fragrance then apex but having bolth apex and vertex other then being dark green scents they really don't smell that similar at all. Vertex is still a decent scent to wear but if your looking for a 1 to 1 of apex this ain't it. The dry down is sort of similar but the opening to me smells completely different from apex. Still if you want a cheap versatile pleasant smelling dark green scent vertex is fine for that.

[@cruztube23]

Maison Alhambra Cassius is the best clone I've ever smelled. It's not close, it's identical! Don't believe me? Get a sample, see for yourselves and thank me later. 😉Like literally, it's the same as the original, even performance-wise, which is bonkers!

Got to say it. For me and many others Khamrah doesn’t smell anything like angle share. It’s like saying yeah I live on 1rst st but which part of first st and is it north first or south first. BIG!!! Difference. lol. Khamrah is only like maybe 60% to Angel share. So like Angel share is 1rst ave n block 100 and Khamrah is block 3600 of first ave and S. Not close at all.

Hi Ash - thank you so much for all the effort you put into this; I am enjoying all yor videos. On this one I get that the clones smell a lot like the original, but how are the clones projection and how long do they last once you spray it on? Is it the same as the original? Regards from Nikolaj.

Seems to me that these cheaper clone fragrances are often let down by the "fixatives" used in the blend. The compounds evaporate too fast which is why they're a skin scent after an hour or two - add to this lower quality ingredients and it's usually a recipe for disappointment.
