You should try Asad it's a very good clone of Dior Sauvage Elixer, a bit hard to come by since all the hype around it and people scooping it up as soon as it becomes available. I live in South Africa and get these fragrances for around $15 max, the sad thing though is that all designer fragrances cost around triple the price. We do get some designer fragrances on the cheap but they are labelled as "Parallel Import", marketed as excess stock from other countries imported to South Africa. These can be a hit or miss, generally more miss. Great video and keep them coming.

Wow great prices for mid-east clones! Too bad about designers though… As for Asad, I’ll pick it up eventually. In the meantime I have Alexandria’s version of Elixir. It is sooo close to the original and lasts 12 hours. Therefore, Less motivated to grab Asad- but I will soon. Thanks for watching!

Hey I just subscribed. I ordered once from FragranceBuy and the delivery took FOREVER! I live in California. Not only did it take weeks but those weeks had my fragrances on the back of trucks during the hot summer. 3 of the fragrances I ordered were spoiled rotten. Customer Service was trash too. So I took the loss and I will never order from them again. Fragrance Net and Fragrance X have always been excellent

Amber & Leather off my skin is ok, it's vaguely similar to Ombre Leather. This was a disappointment because I really enjoy Ombre Leather and was looking for a clone to help preserve my Ombre bottle. Imo Amber & Leather smells better in the air, I use it as an air freshener. I'll probably give Afnan Rare Carbon a go. Fakhar & Khamrah are quite good, especially Khamrah. Qaed Al Fursan should be delivered on Wednesday, I can hardly wait. Folks are saying that Fursan & CDNIM is an amazing layering combo. I have CDNIM Limited, which I plan to layer with Fursan.

If you can find Ben Sherman original signature, it is a great clone of ombre leather that I feel is a better fragrance. In the US you can find it at Burlington Coat Factory for $10! Much smoother, although it does have a bit of a fruity note in the opening that differentiates it a touch from Ombré Leather

I keep holding back on some of these frags I like the look of due to conflicting reviews eg I've read too many people saying Ameer al oud intense barely lasts 20 minutes.... Maybe very bad QC or something? Who knows. Also, some say that Khamrah doesn't smell that much like Angel's Share. Nice but not a clone. Kismet sounds more accurate but again many say it's weak and doesn't last or project. Cheers for the reviews anyway. More food for thought...

Hello, I want to buy 2 Lattafas, but I'm really afraid that the cologne will only last for 1 hour due to a recent reformulation. (I bought Rasasi Hawas before; they said it lasted very long, but they changed something and no one mentioned it. I only saw a few comments from people with the same issue, so I sent it back.) I wanted to ask for your opinion: Do you think I should buy them, or do you think they changed something because of the hype...?
@psyduck4255 Жыл бұрын

@sillagescents Жыл бұрын
Depends on the fragrances, but probably going to be just fine. Reformulation is not as big of an issue as many make it out to be. Often Middle Eastern fragrances need to sit on the shelf for a few weeks after the first time, you spray them, and then the scent profile, and the performance can change. Sometimes only a little and sometimes dramatic change!

I wasn’t a big fan when I first picked it up. After it sat on the shelf for six months it actually developed and changed a lot.
