12 Clone Fragrances That Are BETTER Than The Real Thing

[@CJWallaceStudios]

For Sapil Bound you said Armani Code Profumo but showed a video of Acqua Di Gio Profumo. The clone is of the Code Profumo 😉

[@slingblade37814]

And it's a trash clone.

[@TaiLegend]

😬

[@bgreen520]

I'm in the UK and have six Pefume Parlour PDM clones. I also have samples of the same OG's. Having used both I will never pay the full markup for the OG. I think sometimes because some pay, in some cases 100s of dollars/pounds they convince themselves the OG's are far better when in truth they aren't. In some cases I think my pp pdm clones are nicer than the OG's.

[@theorgazoid4918]

Correct. I like to use the plain black t shirt analogy. Slap a tiny designer logo on it and charge an extra 100 what one are you going to say is better.

[@jingledubz3989]

Great video Ash! Love the homage to my favorite show of all time, The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling was a genius.

[@WilliamMiller-nr5gb]

I got a "back in stock" notice this week for Jack of Clubs... I wonder if $52 for a clone of a designer qualifies as a "decent price" in Ash's opinion. For now, I've decided to hold off for the original.

[@b3yambur]

Wait til it comes back in stock at Fragranceshop, I think they had it for like 28 bucks plus shipping. I'm not recommending it, I haven't tried it, I just know they had the best price.

[@WilliamMiller-nr5gb]

@@b3yambur Thanks! 😊👍

[@VDM32]

I got the notification too! Almost bought it

[@MattandErson30]

You said "code" and showed "di gio"

[@declanmorgan6021]

It’s terrible anyway. Don’t believe the hype with fragrance world fragrances. Mine came with a broken atomiser and it smells like it’s inspired by the original but it’s terribly synthetic

[@davidshustov]

Sapil is actually more of a clone of Armani Code Absolu, but a little more dense as if Code Absolu had an Absolu Intense flanker

[@this-is-not-a-channel-]

Who do I trust 🌝

[@leutrim3017]

Which should i get ? Intense Peach from FW oder Bright Peach from maison alhambra guys ?

[@jonathangoodman2636]

Confused...at 8:05 you say Sabil is a clone of Code Profumo, but you show a pic of Acqua di Gio ....

[@MattandErson30]

Yo love the cubbies shirt....was not aware you were chicago sports fan! The collar went with the cap the first time i opened Craze.

[@begoode4974]

Could you do a video of the just clones that are best combinations to layer together please?

[@salemslotandmore8278]

Thanks for the List and Video 😀 Happy New Year !!!

[@Mondegreen121]

I purchased Star Men Nebula on Ash's recommendation because i also own Pure Malt and Pure Havane. The opening of Star Men does have a small hint of Pure Malt to it, but it is shortly lived, and the rest of the fragrance just goes off into the ether somewhere. And the somewhere is not close to anything that is Pure. I can promise you that. Maybe my nose is bad but to me, so is Star Men Nebula. Thanks Ash, I know, everybody's nose is different.

[@rumit4all]

Yup. You are right. Star men nebula is trash and not close to the pure malt. That insurrection one is much closer.

[@alyssalancaster]

How long have you had it? I know people disagree on this, but I really have had a couple fragrances get so much better with some maceration time. Maybe put it away for a couple months and check in again.

[@mikew6135]

All of these get better with some age. Without exception every clone I have and that's many get better over time. Some improve drastically. Sapil Bound is great clone or not. If you like Asad I'm sure you will like Bound

[@almondjoy5671]

I live in a hot and humid country so Milestone is amazing choice for almost everything. Jack of Clubs from Fragrance World is also a pleasant surprised as L Nuit is one of my fav perfume of all time.

[@olliedawg83]

3 favorite clones of mine so far are... 1. FOMO Gary's Den (Dior Homme Parfum) 2. Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge (Baccarat Rouge 540) 3. Paris Corner Identity (Portrait of a Lady)

[@Q_N-]

Couldn’t compliment Star Men Nebula enough. That fragrance is just an absolute BEAUTY! From the opening to the dry down, 💯% never disappoints

I own Dusk and it doesn't last super long, but it's decent. About 6-8 hrs on skin. I paid $40 for it. Smells like apple pie pretty much, but with a hint of a metallic/inky essence. Never smelled OG Layton but Dusk is a nice scent.

[@Youssef-pr8ih]

Did you try Royal Equestrian from Alexandria Fragrances? It's super long lasting. I never tried Dusk though so I can't compare.

[@CKlegion7272]

Quick question. I received a sample of Lattafa Asad and after about 45-60 minutes it starting to remind of something else I own. Now 2 hrs later it's almost the same as Oud for Glory. Am I going crazy or is there something to this? Love the vid. Greetings from Netherland

[@MrTimoLovesFragrances]

Mhhhh it reminds me more of Dior Sauvage Elixir but with some cola vibes and oriental vibes..but maybe that oriental vibes are similar to oud for glory?!

[@PhrenicosmicOntogeny]

[@sollracfer]

One question, You mention that SAPIL is a clone of armani code profumo but you show the bottle of aqua di gio profumo. Which one is correct?

[@magnifician21]

When it comes to Pegasus clone I will choose Alhambra Perseus over Armaf Craze. I think Craze is too strong in certain note that I don't like, while Perseus is more balanced and pleasing in my nose, reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Sport with almond added

[@darrenjones7607]

Just got a bottle and couldn’t agree more . Perseus is so much smoother

[@roccofili3054]

100% agree. Have both and perseus actually had better performance lol. It did have to oxidize/macerate for a weekish tho before the almond started to smell sweeter.

[@Snk13_ty]

Is Perseus well blended? Also is there a harsh chemical smell off the top? And if so does it get better through the dry down?

[@magnifician21]

@@Snk13_ty I'm not sure how high your expectation is, I just can say, if you ever smelled Craze and didn't like it, you won't experience the same with Perseus

Hello, I follow you on youtube for some time now. That is how I found Armaf club de nuit that i love and I just got Asad from Lattafa today. But this is not why i write to you, I need your help to find a clone for Dsquared2 she wood (the pink one) but not the round shaped bottle. The older one. I find the original very hard now. I was wondering if you know any alternative to this.

[@Hill3304]

I find Fragrance Worlds Posh Malt a superior clone in every way to Star Man Nebula , and the extra $10 or so you will pay , is well worth it ! Imo, it is better blended and a much closer dupe ,

[@jove1155]

It's slightly better performing, and has a bit more of the top notes than Nebula. You can't go wrong with either, but Posh Malt is the better option.

[@Hill3304]

@@jove1155 Cannot get past that rough Nebula opening .

[@JaxTropics]

sapil bound is actually a clone of armani code profumo... the notes are exact one to one

[@xAvi-PR]

Seems like you’re docking points from Oud Absolute Magnifique 7 because it’s not close to M7. I’ve never tried them but seems to me like M7 & M7 Oud Absolu are different fragrances. Perhaps Lattafa Masama is a clone of M7 while Magnificent 7 is a clone of M7 Oud Absolu. Seems like this is kinda like Invictus Aqua 16 vs ‘18 in the sense that they’re supposed to be the same but they’re truly different.
