CLONES SO GOOD THAT YOU DON’T NEED THE ORIGINALS?| YOM & LAYL BLUE SPELL & MARITIME REVIEWS

[@HelloWorld-xe1up]

I can testify on that ! I happen to stop by at their store in Chicago and tried all my favorites and guess what everything was spot on !!! I couldn’t believe. Their version of Bond 9 Lafayette street is fire. Purchased L’immensite, Pacific Chill and what can i say about the Aventus Absolu its Absolute bang for the buck. They also gave me samples of their best sellers. Just placed an order for Blue Talisman and Greenly, Sedley and Percival.

[@kevintapia5651]

I'm from Chicago and was trying stores until I found them. They are amazing. They took their time with me and made sure I liked what I bought. Tried many samples and saw them do it on the spot. Best clone store. Super affordable and high quality for them cloning big name brands. 💯 agree

[@donellbell6819]

I bought their Basic instict (Mind Games French Defence)and Mesmeric Fire (The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire) bothe are extrait versions. I personally like the Hypnotizing Fire version but seem to get more compliments from the French Defence version of Yom & Layl frangrances. Worth a try, I'm a fan.

I spoke on another of your vids already but I want to say it again. Your review was SPOT ON! I have Blue Talisman. It is sharper and more bright on the opening. The depth of the Y&L is deeper and it lasts longer. Excellent work as always. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊

I’m always deliberate in my fragrance purchases. I don’t buy a lot of clones, but I’ve learned that if I do, to trust your takes on this subject.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing.. let me know your thoughts if you try something.. the quality is the story.

[@KevinSpengel]

The discovery set, 5 x 10ml decants is a great deal. You get to pick any 5 from their line. AND I live near Rosemont in Chicagoland, so I can take my oldest son and youngest daughter to the shop. We are all into fragrances now 💐💮🚬🍹🍸

Facts. What is it. The exact one so I can look it up

[@Loveforperfumes]

The best ting i like about them is their concentration, its flat 40% oil going in your bottle. My favorite from them is Ombre Nomade, Haltane, Angel Share and Baccarat. They stay for weeks on my clothes which is incredible for that price.

[@michaelbullock8011]

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

40 Knots has been on my hitlist for awhile too but if this is as good as you say I will be taking a look at their product. I know I’m definitely ordering the one for Absolu Aventus

Scentual Obsession has there's out for awhile now and dua has had there's out for two week's now and there's is 33.00 dollar's and it's about 99 percent identical also . Pretty good 👍

[@Carlosdoss-e9s]

Indeed

[@Loveforperfumes]

Its not about identical, its about the concentration. Dua is 33% where as these guys do 40%

[@Carlosdoss-e9s]

@Loveforperfumes yea, that's what I'm interested in that concentration

[@franksalas5507]

​@Loveforperfumes Its about how close they get to the original fragrance " and dua is the closest thing out there!. Not concentration

[@richparkinson9647]

I agree, Dua’s is pretty good. I bought one Scentual Obsession fragrance (not talisman) and it smelled of vitamin oil. I wasn’t getting a great take on the scent I bought.

[@hyderhussain6652]

Just placed an order for my 10th bottle, and my clothes have the fragrance for weeks in them. I believe this is because the fact they do 40% concentration. One of my all time favourite from this house is Black Panther i.e. Ombre Nomade .......OMG i get stopped every time asking "what are you wearing".

Bro Maritime is phenomenal. I got it in my very first Yom & Layl haul and it blew my mind the level of quality in that bottle. Basic Instinct and Wazir are also phenomenal performances on Baywatch and Absolue Legend are not the best but the profile is stellar.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing!! Thanks for watching!

[@danimalic923]

Just picked up Maritime based on this review, have and love 40 Knots but curious to see how close it is and not to blow through my pricier juice when in the mood for that scent profile

[@Michael.Gasaway]

I haven’t tried anything from the house yet but I’m intrigued! May order some samples soon! P.S. Scentual Obsessions also has a Blue Talisman inspiration called Blue Jewel (never tried it, but I’ve heard good things)

[@mehadiaga5977]

Santal Santal Santal 33 ! My friend told me about this place and I compared their version of santal with my original bottle of Santal 33 and their version out performed. Since then I have been shopping with them. Speaking of EX Nihilo they also have their version of Santal Calling which is a very sophisticated fragrance.

Blue Talisman has been cloned by just about everyone at this point. Even the middle east is now getting in on the game with Athoor Al Alarm. Scentual Obsessions made a VERY good version of it as well. Montagne has people talk about as well. 40 knots Im not sure if that one has been done by anyone though.

You think you could review the French defense one they got since u got the real thing and could let us know how close it is? Thanks D!

is blue spell stronger in the woodsy smell compared to the Dua clone? i just got the dua clone its similar but it smells slightly off the notes don't hit the same

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Never smelled the dua.. the Y&L version is more fruitier.. with some nice woods

[@Wavy_Potts]

Their discoverybset is legit. Got 5 for $50. I like that they dont just have the standard inspired by fragrances that everyone else does. Their version of french defense is my favorite so far.. Nefs is prpbably my least favorite but that might just be the scent profile in general. Gonnay try blue spell and their version of Queening

[@Froknowsditnessfragraneandmore]

Did your bottle of blue talisman have to masterate ? Blue talisman has a lot more to it. Maybe blue spell will develop with time and as far as quality there not even in the same playing field. But the quality for the price point is cool

[@dedrickhicksjr]

My bottle is good, I’m sure maceration will allow it to be even better..

[@thawkereynolds]

Brother D, I went to YomLay 🎉because of your last video breaking them down so I ordered a couple but I don’t get those prices that you’re talking about. I got $50 for the 30 ML. Now it’s starting to bother me I feel like I got robbed or screw up. I ordered the musk therapy and virgin island (Musk Limit and spring island)
