10 Fragrance Clones So Good I’d Toss Out My EXPENSIVE Niche Scents

[@michaelreed2700]

I've gotten to the point that I chase dupe/clone/middle easterns pretty much exclusively. There are only a few designers that I'm actually interested in picking up, but only because I can't find them on the 'inspired by' market. Doesn't matter how much money I make, the thrill of finding something that is not only comparable, but often performs better than the original is worth more than the prestige of owning the name brand stuff... Especially since no one will be able to tell the difference unless they see the bottle. They will only know I smell great.

[@jamesmochan8576]

Couldn't agree more. 3 clones I would definitely recommend is amber oud ruby - a mind blowing br540 clone, l'aventure knight - a better performing GIT clone and I bought a friend CDNIM parfum. I have to agree, might go exclusively middle Eastern clone going forward. Although, just smelled how good stronger than you intensely so may still buy a few designers. Always worried they get reformulated though

[@suntoritime]

Exactly my thoughts. These new middle eastern clones are just way more interesting to me.

[@WilliamWonka]

I was previously not into clones at all, but the Maison Alhambra dupes have really piqued my interest lately.

[@shajiwahab]

I hear ya and couldn't agree more. What are some of your favourite picks? Do share

[@shaundavenhill254]

Couldn't agree with you more, for the past 2 years I have increased my collection with the middle eastern brands that of Armaf, Afnan, Al Haramain, Ard Al Zafaaran, Rasasi and Lattafa. After getting into these brands, its hard to look at designers which are doubled or triple the price and offers less in performance and projection . The only niche I look at is Montale and Mancera as performance and value for money is big for me.

I had to google super crush because i was confused as to why mancera would clone their own fragrance 😂. You have the frangrance listed as mancera super crush in the overlay.

[@jbernstein14]

Just got The Tux and it completely blew me away. Shocking how a dupe house can making something smell so luxurious. Spot on comparison to YSL Tuxedo and performs way better.

[@JayLewTheTruth]

Went through a whole bottle of Tres nuit before knowing it was a clone. I just loved it as it was. On my 2nd bottle now

I love your approach to fragrance buying. There are many in the fragrance community who look down on people who can't spend a lot of money on fragrances and that's unfortunate.

[@fernandoferdinand4866]

Fragrance collecting is freakin' bonkers. I've been doing it at a fairly conservative level..maybe..since around 2012 so about ten years or so, high-end niche, luxury, hard-to-find vintages, designers, and now just recently exceptional clones. If exceptional clones existed when I first started this I wouldn't have accrued nearly to the fifty grand that have on this. Yes, I have to agree that clones these days are highly exceptional with the packaging, presentations, and the quality of ingredients used, and last but not least the price$, is just unbeatable. The ten fragrances you featured are all amazing!!..🌟🌟🌟❤️🔥😃👍

[@20Eileeny]

I bought my hubby Black Panther by Alexandria Fragrances. It's inspired by Bvlgari Tygar. It is FIRE. Now, Idk what the original smells like, but other folks that do say this one is pretty close. It smells AMAZING and has beast mode performance.

[@MusicLover-01]

I love my clones and sometimes end up getting the real deal if I love the DNA and want the higher quality experience. That way you can savour the real thing for special occasions and enjoy the DNA daily or more frequently guilt free. Truth is most people can't distinguish between Roja Haute Luxe and a designer like Dior and so this hobby is largely for one's self. Thanks for the excellent coverage of all the options 👍

[@ericgordon4746]

Great idea, makes sense. Thank you for pointing that idea.

I got Killer Oud Cabana on a complete blind buy and it really nails Beach Hut Man.

Cabana is really nice though, looking forward to wearing it in Spring.

I just got Afnan's Turathi Blue in today and smelled it and it's good but not quite the same as Tygar. It's more of a twist between Tygar and BdC EDT but it does smell great.
