A great clone of One Million Lucky that gets no love and never seen anyone review it , is Bhara Dynamic Pour Homme . This one is a steal at somewhere around $30 , and if you want the One Million Lucky DNA , and on a budget, this is the one you need . A true hidden gem !!

Sweet! Thx for the reccomendation

Fragrance World's Hayaati Royale is a pretty good One million lucky clone also

[@vanja1132]

Nebula/posh malt is amazing. One of my favorites in my collection.

[@sillagescents]

Yes, it’s fantastic!

[@santanarodriguez881]

Dumont has figured out that everything mixes well with BR540 and/or Creed DNA. I was gifted Dumont inspiritu pour Homme a very interesting hybrid of Creed Silver mountain water and BR540, very good quality and performance.

[@sillagescents]

Totally, they are perfect for layering. Honestly, Sauvage is too!

[@Eric-kq3nv]

Looking at the red and white, not sure what to try first or if I should get both. I see the red compared to ADG a lot.

Arcane is awesome I love it!!!

Me too man!

A fantastic Megamare clone that comes closest then the other clones out there at the moment imo., is Atlas from Lattafa . A great value at around $40 , and performs very well for a summer freshie .

[@bishopguy9090]

just got mine in today , smells good never smelled OG , but rn doesn’t seem to last more than 2-3 hours , will let it sit a while n go back to it !! also got in Brilliant Silver (rasasi) and The Only Moonlit Night or whatever , haven’t smelled that one !! gotta pick it up from my parents lmAo

[@hillardschlachman6610]

I have been diving into these Clone Houses, such as Afnan, Armaf, Masion Alhambra, and Fragrance World. All I can say is these Clone Houses do a very good Job. My latest purchases have been, Masion Alhambra Immortel, Lattafa Najdia, Lattafa Suqraat, Armaf Le Parfait Pour Homme and Armaf Craze, Armaf Tag--Him Prestige Edition. Everyone has been hyping the Masion Alhambra Immortel, and I wore it for the first time, and got compliments. My other purchases are good as well.

[@Eric-kq3nv]

Try the Armaf CDNIM Limited Edition, it's soo good. I get compliments all day long when I wear it and it last all day on skin and a day or two on clothes.

[@JamesDavis-pt7ju]

Armaf, Nazih Sliver. Clone of discontinued Boss bottled intense edp. It was one of my favorites... Nazih Silver is about 95% of the original smell. Also Cerulean Iconic Nuit pour homme... It YSL Bleu Electrique, I have them both.

[@yahya520]

how is the performance on the harmony code absolu in terms of projection and longevity

[@leolemke8338]

Divin Asylum is a great alternative to Elysium and I'm waiting for Asten fragrances Elysian to compare them and Grandeur Pacific Woods is a great Invictus Intense clone Rasasi It's Essential is L'Homme Ultime Fragrance World's Renhiet is a great Fahrenheit Parfum Khadlaj Shiyaaka is the best Reflection Man Arabiyat Prestige Nashwa is an amazing alternative to Bvlgari Tygar and Lattafa Shiekh Shuyukh Final Edition is a great Ysl Y Edp clone Arabiyat Prestige Nayel Queen is a phenomenal Baby cat

IMO Roja Enigma and Mancera Tonkacola are the same.Tried both and cant tell difference.Maybe subtle ones but Fragworld has 🍒 cola(actual name)to satisfy itch for either

[@sillagescents]

I'm interested in the givenchy reserve privee clone. I absolutely love reserve privve and have loads left but I've just ordered the clone to try also. honestly I have to stop watching these videos as I can't stop myself from buying.

[@vanja1132]

Al fakhir is really good and better lasting than og. Leave it for a month to sit after first use. It gets even better.

[@sillagescents]

I hear you 😆 my shelves are literally overflowing! Cool, let me know what you think of Al Fakhir

@@sillagescents I like it more than original cause it stays boozy to the end. My girlfriend likes it more than i do. Great stuff.

It arrived today, I had to try it straight away even though I know it will be better in 1 month or so. But it's great, just like reserve privee.

[@vanja1132]

@@MyAlanwhite Glad you like it. Summer is coming so you probably wont be wearing it anyway. Cheers

A great review. I would have added Club de Nuit Imperial, it is classic in the clone world.

[@hillardschlachman6610]

Everyone talks about Jean Lowe Immortal , but a better L’immensite clone that is a bit closer to the Louis Vuitton and performs longer is L’infinite from Fragrance World . The hyped fragrance is not always the better one !

[@AzarroFineArts]

Will check it out. Thanks

[@TheScentBubble]

I'd be interested to see how Kayaan Classic goes up against FOMO - Gary's Den in terms of closeness cuz I thought Gary's was dang near 1 to 1

[@sillagescents]

They’re both great, however Kayaan is a DHI clone and Gary’s Den is a DHP clone. Thx for watching!

[@TheScentBubble]

@@sillagescents Yea thats why I'm curious about it cuz really on the note breakdown they just swap out lavender/pear for orange/rose/leather, still super iris forward. However I wonder if that really translates in person or if they are relatively close to one another still.

[@IronMan-if4ke]

After hearing the hype re. Al Fakhir, I purchased a bottle. No booziness to my nose. Take the Givenchy Reserve Privée and remove the booze and you get Al Fakhir. Basically, a warm gourmand scent.

[@leolemke8338]

Try Grandeur Sincerety Pour Homme it's got the whiskey note

[@IronMan-if4ke]

Own that too. No booze to my nose. Praline, vanilla, benzoin but no alcohol. Maybe it’s just me. But def get the cognac from Givenchy right off the top.

[@Eric-kq3nv]

Let it sit for a month and try it again, or maybe it's just not there. Most of these are more inspired by than actual clones. Don't get me wrong lots of clones are very very close but it seems to me that Amaf, Al Harmain, FW have a lot of inspired by, but also have very close clones as well. A lot of other Arab/Dubai fragrance houses make some really good clones, most of those aren't mentioned as often and are a little harder to find, but they are out there and many are better to the OG. I Have a lot of designer, and just started buying some "clones" but I wear them because they smell great and I actually like the differences in them, not all but most.

[@lindz151074]

The iris in Dark Door Intense is very prominent :)

@@sillagescents There's one or two reviews around, but turns out I didn't need it coz DHI is enough iris for me :)

Limited distribution. Very accurate to older OG formulations. Very cheap. It has performance issues, though. Maturation doesn't help much. Stick to Camarro or Kayaan. Cheers.

Have you tried Emeer by Lattafa? It’s a a clone of Town & Country by Clive Christian.
