Rayhaan Elixir vs Lattafa The Kingdom Review: WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@EmmitGrimmer]

It’s a dupe of le male elixir not le male le parfum but other than that great video me personally I prefer the kingdom

[@VicPReviews]

Ah, my bad! I do meticulous research and still managed to get that wrong! Thanks for the feedback! I like The Kingdom quite a bit, I'm just a sugar-addict lol

I have The Kingdom and have compared it to Le Male Elixir (a co-worker has it). The difference I get is that the lavender & mint is more pronounced in the beginning and quite tame in the Kingdom. The Kingdom comes out the gate quite sweet and strong. The Kingdom smells more like the dry down of Le Male Elixir and is pretty linear.

[@VicPReviews]

The kingdom is linear or Le Male? I'm planning to get decants of all the designer and niche versions of all the fragrances I have reviewed soon to do quick showdowns, but I think I'll keep doing videos talking about the fragrances as their own scent first. A lot of them seem to be more inspired by than straight up clones. Thank you for the info! Really useful!

I have two bottles of the OG. I have Tribal Gold. I have The Kingdom. I passed on the Rayhaan because it sounded like a hybrid of two of the JPGs. Rayhaan's tend to smell more synthetic. But if you're on a budget you should make the clones work for you. Cheers.

[@VicPReviews]

Thanks for your analysis! Which of the two do you think is better? The kingdom or tribal gold?

[@shmoopiebear]

Depends on your mood. Tribal Gold is lighter. You need to overspray. Sub par performance. Sub 6 hours longevity. The Kingdom performs better. Go lighter on the sprays. It's a little richer. Neither is as complex as the OG. But I have heard maturation really makes a difference with the clones. Mine haven't been maturated much yet. So when I need to make a statement I grab the OG. But if you're on a budget the clones get the job done. Just overspray and carry a decant. Good luck. Cheers.

[@shmoopiebear]

Of course, it doesn't need to be said. Get the cheaper clone. I believe The Kingdom is slightly cheaper than Tribal Gold. YMMV.

[@shmoopiebear]

If presentation matters to you, Tribal Gold has better mimicry of the OG. It was the first clone so it set the bar high. But for value The Kingdom is definitely better. Better juice overall. For those that go for the Rayhaan, reviews have been quirky. It sounds like a hit or miss depending on if you care about the opening or dry down. And it is more of a hybrid of Le Parfum and Elixir cloned in one. Cheers.

Thanks for the thoughtful response!

Because of your reviews i bought khamrah qahwa and honor&glory. My honor&glory needs a rest cause it smells off upon my first spray but my qahwa smells really great on the drydown even if it didn't rest

[@VicPReviews]

I'm so disappointed you're not in love with Honor and Glory yet. I hope it gets better for you! Glad you loved Qahwa though!

[@JustMichael23]

@@VicPReviews Qahwa's drydown is on another level, I bought it from Dubai for only 1800pesos in Php ($30). One of the best fragrance to buy

Thank you so much!

[@abcdaffaa]

Should i get lattafa the kingdom or khamrah qahwa

[@VicPReviews]

They're very different, but Khamrah Qahwa I think is the better choice imo. It's a little sweeter, more complex and it got a lot of compliments.

[@Lucarinho]

It's elixir clones. Kinda embarrassing tbh

[@VicPReviews]

Yeah I messed up on that. I knew but somewhere down the line I switched it up in my head and it stuck. I'm not comparing them to any Le Male scent so it doesn't really matter. Thanks for the feedback though. 😁
