10 OF THE BEST QUALITY CLONES IN MY COLLECTION 2024| MEN'S FRAGRANCE REVIEWS

[@alaricweightman2507]

I look forward to every video you drop Dedrick. I've enough experience in this fragrance game now to know when reviewers and influencers are cappin, usually being paid to do so. With you however I put you in the same conversation as Justin copeland, nothing but honest opinions.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@chrismoravec9776]

Great video Big D!!! That Turathi Blue is definitely 🔥. Alexandria's version Black Panther is a banger too! The main difference is Black Panther is fresher with more ambroxan and Turathi Blue has more musk that gives it that ever so slight Middle Eastern edge to it. Can't go wrong with either one. Keep up the great work man!!! SOTD Mont Blanc Legend Spirit

[@ramoneregal8317]

That middle eastern musk is what makes it different and better imo 🤷🏿

Thanks for sharing!

Good video this morning some of my favorite clones on your list sotd polo green intense cologne 👍🔥💯

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks Waltez!

[@DBMgamer]

Love the spearmint note in that, I wore it 3 days in a row last week. Solid Spring scent imo

[@josezerpa8177]

My SOTD is Exclusif Tabac from Maison Alhambra. Never smelled the original CH Mystery Tobacco , but this is great on its own right. Have a great day brother!

[@gcbwoods]

As i listen to you, i realize how much of an influence you are to me on this frag journey. Ive never been the type to own a huge collection but you have opened my senses. Many on this list is a result of your recommendation

[@dedrickhicksjr]

I hope that’s a good thing! Hope you are enjoying your collection! I appreciate your support!

[@gcbwoods]

@@dedrickhicksjr It's a good thing. I, like you, am now at a place where I can begin to focus on "signature scent" out of the collection. The exposure is fantastic

[@topscale30]

I’ll wear a good quality inspired cologne over 90% designer fragrances any day.

[@ericrobinson1789]

I got my hands on that Charuto "Tobacco Vanille" and I gotta agree with you bro. It smells really good and is right there with the Tom Ford brand. You can hardly tell the difference too. It is hard to catch though cause it be out of stock constantly. I finally got it early this year.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

It’s great!

[@mikebuckets]

Black Panther is much better than Turathi Blue. I have both.

[@onlymetal4life]

Barrett has a great one too

[@gcbwoods]

​@onlymetal4life I've been seeing a lot of pop ups from this company. Do you have a few of their releases?

[@onlymetal4life]

@@gcbwoods yea i have like 6 full ones and 10 or so decants

[@mikebuckets]

@@gcbwoods Yes I have Black Panther, Orange County, Bleu Memoire, Leather Intense, Zion, Ruthless, and Ete Sauvage Elixir.

[@gcbwoods]

@@mikebuckets gonna give them a try. I normally get my selections from Alexandria Fragrances.

[@Hebrewben144]

Thanks for the video bro. I rocked that turati blue today after it's been sitting for about a year and man, it's really a beautiful scent! Quality is 💯 and it lasts 8 plus hours. I'm cooking now and I still smell it on me. I sprayed it on my skin at 6 am and it's 6pm now!

[@dedrickhicksjr]

It’s 🔥

[@Hebrewben144]

@@dedrickhicksjr it is! I'm definitely wearing it more this spring and summer.

[@KBarnes34]

What up D?! Wore Charutto Tobacco Vanille today. It’s good enough for me, don’t need TF. Still need Camaro Homme, Vibrant Vetiver, and Just Bergamot. They have been on my cheapie list for awhile. Turathi Blue is one of my favorite in my collection of 95ish, who woulda thought? Makes me feel happy every time I wear it. Great performance for a citrus fragrance. Mahir Legacy is solid too. Have you tried Exclusif Tabac and Tabac? Both solid!

[@joe78577]

My Maahir Legacy smells like lemon pledge :(. Going to let it sit and hope it gets better. Need to try Quatra

[@ScentsOverSense]

Uhh ya, I'll be spending some money tonight! 😂

Might not mean anything but I appreciate your honesty u just gained my follow bro keep it up. You come off very true

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Means a lot! And I really appreciate it man! Thank you!

[@MrIncred1ble92]

Bro, love your content as always. I do have to say AF Savauge Elixir it really great, but to me Azlan Bleu is better and for cheaper! I have both and honestly I’ll even take Azlan over the OG. Keep the videos coming, much love!

[@WilliamRodriguez-fbw]

Good morning smell good family. SOTD GN Tonic. Music is fire sir

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks William!

[@jazzj04]

Charuto tobacco Vanille is amazing! I wear my fiances all the time lol

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Dope! Lol

[@BiggSoup]

I started with clones and curiosity caused me to smell the OGs. Most weren’t bad. But Like you said because of superior quality I gave up on clones all together. I Still support them and the idea of them tho. Another great vid

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing!

[@DanielBrown-nj3th]

Love your style. Love your videos and input.

[@raymondlouieumaguing203]

Lattafa Asad and Mahiir legacy silver are good clones bro. I use them even in cold weather 😅 can't wait for summer heat though. Keep that positive energy👊 bless you 🙏

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks bro! Preciate the love!

[@ginoharris3527]

At one point I was debating afternoon swim or pacific chill and went with pacific chill. That north stag made that a good decision because it’s so close to AS and is really good!

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Really good!

[@The_Mavs_Are_Bums]

I absolutely love Turathi Blue, but I get a lot of mixed feed back, my GF hates it which I spray even more just because of it lol ya I'm petty, and at work which I work in retail, I have co workers who like it and some who hate it, and I've had customers say they absolutely love it, so a lot of mixed feedback and I've only had it less than 2 months, probly the most feedback I've had from any fragrance period

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Interesting.. thanks for sharing bro!

[@jmosley128]

Great video D! You hit every time man. I am definitely going to get my nose on that Vibrant Vetiver Delight. Between you and Ross recommending it, I have seen it often. Yeah I gotta get my nose on it. Keep soaring my guy!

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks J! Thanks for watching!

[@TexasAlabamaBoi205]

💥 SPLAAAKKAA💥 SOTD is Sun of a Beach from Genre Parfums! Already got my sotd for tomorrow and that’s going to be RAMC from the same house!! Please get your nose on that RAMC if you can,bro 🔥🤞🏾💯

[@dedrickhicksjr]

SPLACKA!!

[@HeathBeam]

I’ve always been on the fence with clones. I understand the side of it kind of being a disservice to the original perfumer who created the DNA. But I also understand that a lot of clones out there are not only more affordable, but actually stronger and better than the originals which they are modeled after. It’s a fine line. I’m more in the camp of going after better performers or discontinued frags that have clones out there now.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Jmillz4life]

16.5K... lets go SGF

[@dedrickhicksjr]

🙏🏾

[@Aoelx]

Usually not super into clones but they are good to try the DNA and then go to the original if you like it. In some cases though, the clones can be even better! I have the Tux, Afternoon Splash, Visionary and Black Panther in my collection 🥳🥳.

[@BlessedDelight1]

I have been wanting to try afternoon splash and visionary. Added them to my order as samples from Alexandria when I received Barricade (their take on Blockade) but they never sent me the samples.. guess I’ll wait for the next go around. I do own, retro flare their take on gentle fluidity silver and black panther and they are awesome!!

[@Aoelx]

@@BlessedDelight1 Visionary was a bit disappointing to me. It’s too soapy in my opinion. Also the longevity and projection are really bad on my bottle. Afternoon Splash is better to me and the longevity seams to be better. Black Panther was the strongest one 💪💪 !

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@dedrickhicksjr]

I feel you man.. there so many options out there!

[@alexbrown1575]

In your opinion, what defines quality when it comes to fragrances? As far as clones, I’ve only bought Alexandria’s but I hear ppl speak on Quality and i don’t understand. What is poor quality?

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Quality is based of the expirence you have.. whether YOU deem good,bad or great.. it’s based off your expirence. Like quality with food.. a steak from longhorns vs a steak from Ruth Chris are different steaks.. mainly the quality. You can use that when it come to fragrances aswell.

[@Biglikhussle24]

Can someone tell me if their are other unique and blue smelling fragrances like turathi blue.I want something that smells different from it, but in the same vein with that unique scent but still very mass appealing. I just love this scent, but I want more. That's nothing like the bdc, dior, and Dylan blue scents.

[@jafaralhuseini3899]

Hawas ice is same vain as turathi blue
