Thank you.

Hi AC, new subscriber here. You come across as a good person, that makes the difference. Thank you! Lovely!

[@scentanity2280]

Great list! A part 2 will be more than excellent! 👍

[@marco4uperfumes708]

This is the best clone or alternative review ever, you are the boss, I will add a few on my small channel collection, thanks 👍, P.s. I really like your shirt

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you :) glad you enjoyed my friend :)

[@guridhesi]

Ac man beautiful video. I just became a father and my fragrance obsession got put on the backburner for few. Watching your videos turned into changing diapers at 2AM. I on purpose tried to stay away from watching your videos cause it starts a fire under me to make a fragrance purchase and i thought i could use the saved money somwehere better. The point im trying to make is that damn does it feel good watching your videos again. One small request: id lovea video on your top 10 niche sandalwood fragrance list!

[@emtz6593]

Same here also brother....can't escape the purchases. ..after watching his reviews....hah😅

[@ACSmellsGood]

What a beautiful comment mate and thank you so much for the love and faith. Most importantly, congratulations on becoming a dad and I am sure the sacrifices you are making are totally worth it my friend. Have an awesome day :)

[@crochetlover1]

Hi! First thing I love your shirt! Second one I love the way that you explain everything about fragrances and third one thanks for your effort.

Great list and I enjoyed it and I like John varvatos artisan pure and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed night

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Michael.

[@michaelbullock8011]

You welcome keep up the good work

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Eau De Rochas is my preferred alternative to Creed Neroli Sauvage. Rochas doesn’t have quite as natural an opening and doesn’t have the mild ambergris drydown as Creed, but it’s nevertheless an excellent value.

[@pablowaxa]

Totally agree with you! Eau de Rochas is a classic, and can be bought for 17€ for 50ml, which is a total bargain!

[@Kobayashhi]

Going through my AC archives, how did I miss this one ? Have Dunhill century on the way, can`t wait to smell it. Thanks for the suggestion mate.

[@Holawood]

Love the shirt AC

[@cyzzy.m]

Hello AC. I Love these kind of videos. Keep it up sir.

Hey AC. I Absolutely love your take on fragrances. Thank you for sharing.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you and delighted to hear that :)

[@johncarloburton5611]

I just received Dunhill Century yesterday and I am enjoying so far. I am very interested in Armaf Legesi.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Legesi is awesome :)

[@ucantfixstupid7443]

Hello AC. Another fine video. As the owner of at least a decant of all the scents mentioned, I have to say you have nailed the review of all of them. Please keep more videos like this coming. It makes the decision to purchase either the original or the clones much easier. Thanks for the video and be safe.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Glad you enjoyed my friend :)

The amount of compliments I've gotten since wearing cdnim the past year is more than any of the fragrances I've worn my whole life combined.

[@ACSmellsGood]

haha its very effective :)

Well done , and thank you for your review

Enjoyed the video appreciate it i have the rasasi it's amazing scent in colder days I sometimes layer it with issey miyake ambre noir and get an amazing result.

[@Darkandahalf]

Great video mate. Glad you mentioned CDNIM even though it gets a lot of hate in the community these days. Also, I wore Legesi today as well. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thanks mate and good to see you. I don't know why CDNIM gets hate though :(

[@hasantariq573]

Excellent video. I have most of these fragrances and Sir, i totally agree with your review.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Hassan, glad you enjoyed :)

[@ChrisPipinghot]

Oh A.C, You are so right about Rasasi La Yuqawam! Amazing fragrance and my wife loves when I wear it. She also said it's a better take on TF TL. Also Have you tried Matt's (Pocket Scents) take on Creed SMW? Scottish Mountain Water? I use that as a great alternative to SMW and again the wife loves it. Win , win ha ha. Fantastic video with great content as usual.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you mate, and no I haven't tried Matt's take on SMW yet.

[@iam_ismell]

Samy Andraus has some quality offerings. My #SOTD is actually Green Sapphire which is a super respectable and almost indistinguishable emulation of Bleeker Street by Bond No9

[@iam_ismell]

@Demon Marauder I will be uploaded my comparison of Brown Sapphire with YSL Tuxedo tomorrow just got done editing it My comparison of Bleeker Street vs Green Sapphire is literally my next video to shoot then I’ll be recording my comparison of White Sapphire with Hacivet by Nishane I enjoy Al Haramain I have a review of Amber Oud Rouge vs BR540 already up on my channel feel free to swing by And Bleeker Street and/or Green Sapphire works well outside in warm/hot weather

[@abdullah8913]

Hi there bud , followed your reviews for a few years now but i must say while i completely agree with most your comparisons , I disagree on two …. 1 silver mountain water = armaf silliage , I own both and I can tell you armaf silliage out does creed , even in the frag com …….. 2 Bois de Portugal = lion head lalique you can’t go wrong bro

[@ACSmellsGood]

I agree with you, I just didn't include them in the list thats all. In fact I have done a comparison video between BdP and Laliquie Pour homme EDP.

[@cozcozmo1565]

Just ordered Rasasi based on your high recommendation 👍

[@ACSmellsGood]

I hope you like it.

[@itsatrap4986]

Rasasi got some high quality frags. Al Wisam Day, Entebaa, Dareej, La Yuqawam, Hawas.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Indeed I really enjoy their creations.

[@MkingJaCari]

Another good review AC! Can you review Rare Carbon by Afnan? Would like your take on that!

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

It's an incredible bargain!

[@ACSmellsGood]

I wish I could get Afnan here in the UK, its very hard.

[@MathewKokoth]

I might be crazy but I do not enjoy the smell of Aventus. But you were spot on about Platinum Egoiste. The clone named Armaf Legesi is so close to Platinum Egoiste.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Good to hear that Matthew, Legesi is a fantastic dupe in deed.

[@Teamshmo]

I wore Club de Nuit Intense just yesterday. It is a great fragrance, but that first half hour is tough for me. I always need to plan it where I spray it and wait it out before leaving the house. The dry down is definitely great, however.

[@ACSmellsGood]

yeah, I hear you.

[@fallguy6196]

The EDP corrects that

[@mohammadyousofikia7980]

Hello AC, I’m a big fan of Creed Royal Oud & I find Oud Royal by Paris corner replicate it very well. Just the performance is not there but for such a low price that’s totally fine to overspray it. I really like to see your opinion about that. Thanks for your video & hope to see them more often in your Chanel sir

[@chrisscentsillage5321]

Rasasi is a terrific house!

[@gabrielgallawa8205]

Agreed!

[@ACSmellsGood]

i second that :)

[@GokuBlack-sn5dr]

[@rudyvirupakshaiah5818]

AC, you should get your hands on Castle Forbes - Neroli, best Neroli scent in the market right now ? They only do 500 bottles a year, based in scotland..

[@davidblaine2669]

Silver sprayer CDNIM 😍 cherish that bottle my friend.

[@ACSmellsGood]

haha is it that rare ?

[@davidblaine2669]

@Smells Good yes CDNIM has been reformulated a few times. Silver sprayer is the original and regarded as the best version. It’s very sought after!

[@fallguy6196]

I have new versions of the EDP and the EDT and they are beast mode both way over 12hr performance with very strong projection. New ones have no issues.

[@paulhegarty8380]

Hi there! Do you happen to have a good cheaper recommendation that is a close match to Grand Soir? Thanks in advance!

Dua's Crater is 90% similar.

I just ordered Dua Crater yesterday after many Reviewers say it is breathtaking.

[@nikmansol]

Très nuit i can give it away for free to anybody who will pay the post and package I almost throw it away when I blind buy it . It’s a chemical monstrosity and club de nuit it’s ok but smells nothing compared to aventus . I can assure you of that just get Montblanc explorer or if you don’t mind about performance but want the closest alternative - Zara vibrant leather

[@hasanc786]

Awesome list and video AC, funny you started the list with sandalwood scent coz we’re still waiting for your sandalwood list 😆.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Let me first review the great sandalwood fragrances first and then I will do a list so that people can reference the detailed review from the list.

[@shrik1234567]

O yea , I bought Armaf legasi after watching your review. It was worth .

[@sounabha2812]

How is its longevity??

[@shrik1234567]

@@sounabha2812 its superb , it will last for 8 to 9 hrs , and in winter may be more

[@Agerskiold]

Hello AC Wonderfull information 👍🏼 I’ve tried several of the ones you describe and they are indeed very great. I got Mont Blanc explorer this spring but CDIM actually has a better opening and dry down to my nose. For some time ago I got my hands on legesi You are right about the metallic part it can be overpowering. I gave to my son who loves it. Also have you reviewed Milestone from Armaf. I do believe it a great one and for a fraction of millésimé impérial.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Indeed Rene, I have reviewed Milestone as well.

[@moshahidali8928]

Excellent alternatives

[@anmolxsharma]

I have Club de nuit Intense ( pre 2018 batch) that used to last really long for me, but quite recently I have noticed it's stopped performing at all. I can't smell it on me after half hour. What could be the reason? I watched a video that suggested regular shaking the bottle because the oils settles down sometimes.

[@ACSmellsGood]

it could be that your nose is used to that smell.

[@forgiveandforget5316]

Olfactory fatigue

[@milindvaidya890]

Where can I buy Pocket Scents Lisboa in USA?

[@InnerFlame4]

Hello what do you recommend for a CREAMY sandalwood fragrance ? (an original or alternative)

[@neilroyal6814]

Armaf and rasasi will never have another penny from me. The batches are so inconsistent it's ridiculous you just never know what you are buying. Unfortunately they aren't the only ones, you can throw creed in that conversation to. It's a good list if you have older versions and not the redone ones.

[@fallguy6196]

I have zero issues with new batches of cdnim. They are all extremely strong performers

[@neilroyal6814]

@@fallguy6196 pleased for you because it's a good frag. But I won't ever pay for something that is so inconsistent....you never know what you will get. I had the newer limited edition and that was just as bad.

[@emiliosman820]

Would love you to try Boadicea Blue Sapphire and one of the best if not by far the best Orange Blossom / Neroli fragrance Hyde Park, so addictive and natural it ruins all other fragrances in the genre.
