10 Rack Store Clones Actually Worth the $15 | Milestone Perfumes & More

[@Fiedo1996]

I do not care what anyone says, the Milestone Brand is top tier. Very good stuff

[@JamesOswalt]

In my opinion Milestone is the best overall clone house taking everything into consideration. The stuff showing up at Rack Stores is just a small percentage of what they make. I’ve gotten over 20 different ones off TikTok shop. They got duped of Carolina Herrera & Dior Private Niches. They do all the memo’s and got like 6 Clive Christians with crowns which are like $300-$500 Fragrances. They got Fendi, Thameen and even Laliques. Most I got around $13 in full box presentation which is amazing. 2024 will be the year of Milestone which is the same as EMPER, Camara and Mirada. They run under these different companies so it’s harder to find them and sue them.

[@commonscentsreviews]

They definitely have a broad variety. Thanks for confirming they were the same. Wasn’t sure about Mirada.

Where do I find them on tik tok?

I love the "sue them" part 😂😂😂

​@@user-ex4pe7ly8iwhy would anyone want to sue them?

[@willmarshall4685]

I bought Tuscany Leather and King Fabulous for 14.99 each at Marshall’s and I’m genuinely impressed with both. They are not as complex or dense as a Tom Ford fragrance, but they small wonderful. The Tuscany Leather is a very simple sweet leather fragrance. The King fabulous has a massive blast of sweet iris in the opening that will remind you of Dior Pour Homme Intense. Powdery green dry down with a subtle leather backbone.

[@drlake67]

I bought both tonight. I have the F ing Fabulous from TF and man this is 90-95%.

[@sorv5790]

That's some neat ones. Man, that D&G "private" collection is so underrated. Everyone talks about YSL and Dior (and a bit Armani) private lines but D&G has some absolute gems! Amber Sun sounds great.

[@commonscentsreviews]

I so want to get one of the legit bottles because these clones smell fantastic and I can only imagine how much richer they would come ofd

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Thanks for the reviews.

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Fantastic review ❤

Great video! Paying attention to detail is deff the hallmark of your channel! Subscribing

[@ProudGirlDadX2]

1st things 1st, awesome video kid. Been watching a few over the last few days and now I'm a subscriber. For any1 who's on the fence on whether or not this clone brand is worth a look. Let me add, Milestone is definitely legit and everything he said in this video is truth. I used to dismiss clones without a thought but that's because they were always cheap POS and should've been dollar store frags only. Now there are multiple respectable clone companies and milestone is the new "it brand" on the block. I have Red Cherry, ambre leather, Tuscany leather, oud woody, black insenso, desert oud and mouj intimate. They're all legit, from the presentation to the atomizer to the scent. I want more though so I'm gonna keep on searching so keep the videos coming brother 🤘🏼

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I just picked up, or rather persuaded my mom to pick up, Red Cherry so I can bum it from time to time 🤣

[@greggraham9785]

Great job on the video and list

[@nolanbeckwith5194]

Love the videos man you know your stuff and the production quality is great! crushing it

[@commonscentsreviews]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@mister-xv5in]

You nailed the description of Opera a floral dryer sheet

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Happy holidays 🎉❤😊

[@user-sp8uo4or2g]

Mouj intimate and jubilee really surprised me. For the price their really nice. I also picked up milestone better rouge, while br 540 isnt my favorate scent dna its pretty solid clone. Velvet black incenso also was a good pick up Mine was weak when i got it so i let it sit for a while and revisited it the other day and it has improved greatly

[@stdavies23]

I have these 3 and love them !!

[@n8sfolly]

I have the Ambre Sun, and the Ambre Leather. Both are very good, but the Ambre Sun is excellent. It is one of my absolute favorite fragrances.

[@chandracox6814]

I've got Safran Noir by Milestone on its way to me right now! Found it on Mercari. Paid $20 for it.

[@anthonytorres3618]

Just got Oud woody, smells so good and lasts

[@diaryofasgardian]

Yesterday I got the Milestone "Grade one Silver water" and it's Great. I recommend giving it a try

[@commonscentsreviews]

Oh shoot I gotta be on the lookout for that one!

[@Banix16]

Last week I got All Your's Homme Sport ( which is a Chanel Allure Sport clone) and Oros (I think it is a Versace Eros clone). Both are amazing you check them out.

[@mister-xv5in]

I finally got to smell Affection. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I sprayed it on my arm and waited a while. I still don't know how I exactly feel about it but, I think it may bother me to smell it all day. It has like a grape soda type feel to it. But I did pick up one called "Big Intense bottled for men" by milestone. By the name and bottle you would know who they are cloning. It smells amazing

[@commonscentsreviews]

That’s funny you mention that because my brother also pointed out a grape candy smell. Gotta keep an eye out for big intense 👀

[@mister-xv5in]

@@commonscentsreviews I can't find anything anywhere mentioning it on the Internet. This is a photo of the bottle drive.google.com/file/d/10S3DTGRWgnez3Ep7q6H4GiKImarMOTBQ/view?usp=drivesdk

I just found the BIG Intense Bottled for Men last week.. worth picking up if you’re able to find it

I will try my best! I will be covering the Collection D’Antiques ones this week

[@dreyes2160]

You should keep a eye out for Camara Contra

[@stdavies23]

The contras are really good ! I think I only have the Pegasus clone so far , looking for more

[@justinheatherly1905]

Your hat is rad!

[@commonscentsreviews]

Thank you!

[@gregboston9756]

Okay if you haven't known Milestone has a another gem called grade one and grade one sliver water. They are inspired by Creed Green Irish Tweed and Silver Water.

[@commonscentsreviews]

I’ve heard of it! I’ll def keep an eye out. Thanks for the heads up!

[@gregboston9756]

And it smells great. Definitely a spring or summer scent.

[@MeToo-py1tq]

I think Grade 1 is an Adventus clone i think

[@natenate5767]

to me opera smells exactly like alien woman , love it

[@commonscentsreviews]

I love that fragrance. I'll have to compare them when I get my nose on it again!

[@chandracox6814]

Womanity or Alien? Which is it?

[@chim7741]

I'm done with rack stores cheapies unless they are better than what I have! The last bottle I'm looking for is saffron noir!

[@chandracox6814]

Ok I'm making a trip to Marshalls ASAP!!

[@persephonesdad5792]

I had been hearing so much about Taxco. I have SUITS as well as Kismet but… I still wanted to smell TAXCO just because I like that TUXEDO DNA. I finally saw it 3 weeks ago. no, No & NO. It’s not worth it at all. Keep your $13 . You can get so much more for $22 with KISMET & if you want to kick it up to $35 get SUITS

[@kennethdaniel1516]

Middle eastern perfumes use rawer and more natural materials than the American and European colognes that we pay big bucks for . Most of these colognes u showed say made in UAE 🇦🇪 on the bottom of the fragrance. The American dollar is worth so much in Dubai that why we get them for so cheap even cheaper in rack stores.

[@sumdood2035]

which rack stores have these actually sitting on the shelf (not locked in a cabinet) so you can smell the nozzle to get an idea of the notes?

[@commonscentsreviews]

Marshall’s and TJ maxx are the only two so far. They do have a huge locked section usually of designer frags in the men’s section, but go to the women’s section and they often have everything out in the open!

[@persephonesdad5792]

also to piggy back…. The unisex scents are also in the women’s area. That’s where I found TAXCO

[@samehmostafa6373]

Any one looks like stallion leather carolina herera?

[@Gizmofurious]

where do you buy these ones?

[@commonscentsreviews]

I bought them at the TJ Maxx and Marshall’s stores near me. I’ve seen them pop up at every one I’ve been to at one point or another 👍🏽

[@Gizmofurious]

Have you tried the Oud Woody? @@commonscentsreviews

[@chandracox6814]

Also Mercari!

[@jboll84]

Has anyone tried bravery hero?

[@commonscentsreviews]

I have and actually picked it up! I like how it smells. Haven’t give it a full wearing yet though

[@JamesOswalt]

I hate when I have to get a bottle that’s been pumped by another man. I like being the guy to prime the pump. I’ll buy it then try to find it when they stick it out or even before. My rack stores get trucks everyday but Sunday’s. Your right about asking for $$ off. If it’s got cut marks, missing lids or damaged some how they will knock it off. Sometimes 20-30% but that takes a manager

[@chandracox6814]

That's the dumbest shit I've ever read. Congrats. 🏆 Idiot award.

[@nguemaosa]

That Opera is definitely not for men

[@2WheelsForever]

I'd rather have three really "expensive" cologne bottles over a dozen "cheapo" fragrances ....you deserve better, fellas. Treat yourselves. Be good to yourselves . You only have one go around in this Life .

[@leelastoma5809]

You do realize you are paying extra just for a name and fancier bottle. Dupes are basically the same thing. Just like generic medicine. Same thing formula . But you do you. I'm cloning .

[@betterffd]

To each their own but cheap doesn't always translate to bad quality with fragrances, especially these days.
