Have you tried ARMAF BUCEPHALUS Xi,very very close to AVENTUS,minus the HARSHNESS of CDNIM....

I LOVE your videos! You are so detailed and completely cracked me up in this video😂. Please continue clone houses for women as well. I’ve watched them all, but please do more 😀🇺🇸

U r 2 gud man n provide grt information abt clones people who can nt efford real one

[@jimr880]

Nice, but I'm gonna have to go with Armaf, DUA/Alexandria Fragrances and Rasasi. Armaf gets my #1 because they mostly clones...some very good once...some very average ones...with moderate performance. DUA/Alexandria is a close second because they make the excellent clones that have excellent performance - often better than the originals. They get dinged on price because they're not exactly inexpensive. Finally, although some people don't care for Rasasi (I never understand why) they makes some fantastic clones, with excellent quality moderate to excellent performance. They get dinged because they also make a lot of really nice original creations and/or deviate somewhat from what they are trying to copy. I freaking love Rasasi fragrances on their own merit. As for Zara...they would be honorable mention. Cheers!

[@ifishares]

I didn't agree with that high price on DUA fragrances, but if you say that they have excelent quality and sometimes perform better than the oroginals, the they might worth their price. Same goes for Parfums Vintage, which I haven't tried yet. Totally agree with Rasasi, they are my to go hose for oriental smelling perfumes. Solid picks, my friend. Cheers!

[@justaddlight]

I would definitely add Reyane Tradition to the list. Pretty good quality for the price and older than Armaf. And although they've been outshined in the last year, I think they'll eventually make a comeback, hence the moniker "Clone Wars".

[@wckkee7]

Great and honest review.

Once again, briliant video Ifi! I asked this in other video of yours, but in case you don't see it there here it comes :)) Do you know any good clones for Dolce and Gabbana The One for men and Prada L'Homme? Thanks again for this reviews!

[@ifishares]

Hey, Iulian! It is very likely to find an alternative for a perfume after a proper research :). Cheers!

[@iulianbendrea9010]

ifishares After reading your first response I wasn't expecting you to answer to this comment also. Thank you so much for your time and effort, Ifi! Because of you I started to give more attention to fragrances watching your first video 3 or 4 weeks ago. So yeah, keep growing and we'll make this world smell better :)

[@surampudimourya]

Fabulous explanation

[@nikhilshastri3462]

@ifishares i ve got all the armaf fragnances. I dont know why zara and armaf are not able to clone and improvise d and g the one.

[@ifishares]

Wow, you really love Armaf, my friend :) Probably The One doesn't sell as good as it did back in the days and they are looking to clone fragrances that sell better these days

[@nikhilshastri3462]

ifishares yeah. Exactly, but d and g the one is a signature. Ive ordered oriflame wood man. The cheapest perfume of my life....let's see if its a real clone of d and g the one or not. Rihanna rouge man and oriflame wood man are votes to be similar fragnances. I would also like you to check out lomani code another master piece. Ive got 5 bottles of it. Additionally to this im a fan of you.. i was a fan of Jeremy previously now i unfollowed him as he is purely trying to advertise costly perfumes and not concentrating on middle class people if thats in their range or not. Lnuit d lommez best clone is bois nuit...outstanding performance ....ive nailed parties using it...hell number of compliments. Id also suggest you to concentrate on attars or concentrated perfume oils which can be diluted and can be smelled alike niche or known top brands.... love you man you rock.

[@beni69bond83]

Sory a have question please.. is that tru armaf club de nuit intense man ist reformuladet? Because I heard that is not like before, so gut.. and strong .. ?

[@danicojocaru2420]

Beni Shtitarica it s as strong as ever imo

[@beni69bond83]

Thanks Bro.. ok i will buy know.. because I heard that is reformuladet...

[@danicojocaru2420]

Beni Shtitarica no problem

[@Guinea54]

i need to try more of these from these brands.. good stuff.

[@bege4394]

Wow, I've never seen that Zara Gold bottle! I have Zara Man Gold (grey bottle, black cap, black letters) and while it's a nice juice to smell the longevity is poor. Is that new bottle's juice any better in terms of longevity? How about the smell: is there some difference in Man Gold the grey bottle?

[@ifishares]

To be honest, I haven't compared this one with the one in the old bottle, but they are both in the store. They might do what Armaf is doing, releasing the same juice in a different bottle, but with improved performance. I also remember gold and silver with terrible performance.

[@mitchi505]

Unique intro Ifi, hehe. I was indeed smiling with this video opening and then another one => CLONE winner is taken by Cuba Fragrances !!! That's a good one Ifi. AWESOME !! Wow, how much infos you provided for all of us in this video Ifi. Thank you a lot !! Smelling different and smelling unique ?? I would say absolutely YES; with these 2 standing out & are not clones whatsoever => Ard Al Zaafaran Dirham and Ajmal Carbon. My 2 apsolute winners for sure !! Which are yours Ifi?? Until next time we are smelling great !!

[@paulsjunkcars]

Another amazing video. Great job.

[@NathanielPhilipnatsjazz]

Hi mate have you smelt anything similar to L’air Du Désert maroccain By Andy Tauer ?

[@ifishares]

Hi there! Never came across something that smells similar to that one, but what I've learned so far is that if you do a good research, you can find what you're looking for. Since I am also interested in something similar to L'air, I will be happy to do such a research. Cheers, mate!

[@NathanielPhilipnatsjazz]

ifishares thanks that would be lovely. Do let me know when you come to smell anything similar to it. 🙏🏼

[@eduardhimona8951]

Nice video Ifi, i tryed that zara pour homme IV and is a amazing clone of a frutty aventus batch! You should try rasasi daarej(99 % similar with valentino V) and hawas(95% invictus aqua)..you will be surprised! Cheers!

[@usmankhalid9081]

plz do a review of shades blue by armaf

[@bbosafredrick3579]

Good review

[@hugoh446]

For me Rasasi wins the pot fue to their amazing sprayers, while Armaf ones usually suck. Also to my nose Al Haramain Adventure is the best Aventus clone from start to finish, even when I usually get 8 to 10 hours of longevity with it and 10+ with CDNI...

[@ifishares]

Rasasi will probably be the next house to take on. Cheers!

[@calvin0416ny]

Rasasi is pretty pricey though compared to Armaf.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

I don't own aventus but I do own a bottle of both L' Aventure + CDNI and for me CDNI is the best of both as far as smell, projection and longevity, friends and family agree when blind testing. If as you say, L'Aventure is closer to Aventus than CDNI, then I might prefer CDNI over Aventus but unfortunately until I try Aventus I will not know. I actually have a parfum clone of Aventus that has an earthy smell ( wet concrete to my nose ) similar vibe I get of L'Aventure, If Creed Aventus has that underlying potent scent then I don't think it would be for me. It could be that my skin brings out this stale odor and is just simply not suited for me ( my skin type ) very interesting though. I have a Fahrenheit Clone and get that wet cement vibe from that also. Does Fahrenheit have it, the original? Some people like a wet cement smell and there are plenty of fragrances based on the wet cement scent or have undertones of it in it, just not for me, if I get a whiff of it lol I feel like I've been working with old bricks or concreting even plastering as I have done in the past though I always showered to get the stench of it off, some people don't pick up on it though. If you smell your skin closely when wearing L'Aventure, can you detect it? I would really like to know. I got a test free sample with L'Adventure, it didn't have that smell to it but it did smell high on ambroxan, the seller ignored my question of WHY the big difference. This set alarm bells off, Perhaps I got a fake or the tester was real Aventus, hoping Perhaps I give the free sample with cardboard sleeve with seller details to a friend and if they liked the sample, they would order some. I only know that there was a big difference and I will not order it again anyway as I really like CDNI, I have three bottles of CDNI now from that same batch just in case they reformulate in the future. Sorry for the long read Hugo, it was unintentional to write so much especially using an on screen keyboard :( Tap Tap Tap...foreveeeeeeeeeeeeeeer.

[@hugoh446]

pa maj Hi there! Most people commenting in yputube and forums find CDNI Man really close to Aventus once it settles down, so you are not the only feeling that. I just said what my nose tells me... About the strong ambroxan presence, the real Aventus has a lot of ambroxan there, not as much as it seems to be in Sauvage, but quite a lot anyway. About the wet cement scent, I cannot feel it neither in L'A nor in CDNI or the real deal. Fragrances are always a matter of debate since each one feels them in different ways... By the way, CDNI is quite beastie in performance.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Hugo cheers for reply, I don't get the wet cement smell in CDNI but do in L'Aventure, I personally think the L'Aventure I got is perhaps dodgy and do believe the tester was real Aventus ( hence the Ambroxan I easily detected ) It's one thing getting a clone but getting a fake clone is something else. I paid over £35.00 counting post for L'Aventure, it's not good if it's fake as a lot of things are now but hey, it's still wearable. In primark here in the uk they sell Ventura That's supposed to be an excellent clone of Aventus for £8.00, going to try that also I just ordered PERFUMER'S CHOICE NO. 9 HOMME VICTOR 83ML EDT SPRAY for £12.84 ifishares recommended in another video, yes another Aventus clone lol. If they ever get a real close 99.9 clone for £15.00-£25.00, the sale of Aventus will probably stop as people buying the original will not want to smell like something that's become so common I imagine.

[@extremesy]

I'm shocked you did not mention Dua Fragrances. They are really good at cloning niche fragrances.

[@ifishares]

I didn't do too much research about them, after I saw their prices, but I've heard they have higher prices due to great quality. Worth checking in the future. Cheers!

[@guptatanvi8157]

There are hell lotta fragrances which are similar to original ones but for god sake not armaf everytime! There is Nautica , Azzaro , Salvatore F , Lalique.. hell even guess and Paco !

You should check them out. Armaf is a great house too. I think I own 6 fregs. And last for me Rasassi. That Cuba joke got me😆😄😆... lol. Be good Bro in Fragrance. Peace

Yeah..armaf the clone master. I wear tres nuit and it is > 90% similiar to the original GIT. To be honest GIT is better..fresher..more complex and deep. But..tres nuit is way cheaper than GIT..it's amazing.. and I love It.

DUA Fragrances Scarlet Warrior...

[@cirealreviews1776]

ifishares wow! Good memory, this is my new channel which is pretty much just for viewing. I'm really enjoying your videos! Btw, have you tried any La Rive fragrances? Their Dior Sauvage dupe (La Rive Extreme Story) isn't too bad, but sweeter than Sauvage with horrible performance. Your video on Armaf Ventana is really getting me wanting to blind buy it...if you have tried La Rive's or Zara Aromatic Future, how would you compare them to Armaf Ventana? I hated Zara Aromatic Future, it was way too metallic and synthetic...definitely didn't have that sweet musky ambroxan note like in the actual Dior frag. Let me know! Thanks Ifi again

[@cirealreviews1776]

Jim R I guess I'm going to wait for an Armaf clone or some other good clone house then. I have mixed feelings about DUA about their Creed frags since you can get splits for the same or cheaper prices, absolutely crazy imo. But if I can get a Creed Viking 100ml dupe for under $45, I'd for sure jump on the opportunity to try it! So that's the only dupe out right now on the market, right? Thanks Jim for the quick reply

[@jaycartieri4075]

About Sauvage I have aromatic future and don't like it at all. I also have Prada Carbon which I personally like more then Sauvage. Similar but more mature and goes in a different direction in my opinion. Trust me if you want something that smells like Sauvage get Ventana!! I did and plan on selling my Sauvage because Sauvage actually doesn't last all that long on my skin and becomes a skin scent fast believe it or not. This stuff lasts and performs really well!! I guess because it's EDP. It's crazy that people are all hyped up for Sauvage EDP. Unless they plan on changing the notes there is no need to get it because you can just get Ventana. It smells so incredibly close to Sauvage and is already an EDP. I barely get noticed with Sauvage after a few hours. Today after 6 hours of wearing Ventana got a compliment from a co-worker who asked what I was wearing because it smelled so good. Never got that from Sauvage after that amount of hours wearing it. Cost much less and it works so much better on my skin!! Thanks Ifi because of you I bought it!!
