THESE WARM WEATHER CLONES ARE A MUST TRY!!| Men's Fragrance Reviews

[@MackABD]

The quatre smells exotic af one of my best summer time bangers ive ever purchased. Love the orange smell, smells good for vacations too.

[@TastesandScents]

I saw my man Ross speaking highly of these two and now you give them their flowers as well!! Yeah i'll definitely be grabbing these two VERY VERY soon!!

[@MitchelAmes]

@@TastesandScents you're gonna be as disappointed as I was cause I did the same thing, just to realize it's lemon pledge furniture polish..

[@TastesandScents]

@@MitchelAmes I actually love the Quatre... The trois not so much. It's almost 100 here in NC and that orange bottle has done GREAT for me. 🤘🏾

[@BiggSmoove]

Purchased both of these a few weeks back and am impressed by both. Can’t wait to try them out in the Alabama heat!! Fragflex for the win on the price point!!!

[@richieBZ]

How's the performance? I'd bet it'll improve over time if you let it macerate

[@BiggSmoove]

@@richieBZ haven’t had a real chance to wear it in this Alabama weather yet. Been to cool to wear to judge.

[@dajeanpolk1860]

Where did you purchase ?

[@smackd1870]

Gotta try the Imagination clone, by far my favorite thing ever released from LV!

[@vishuvnair]

It's a good fragrance but nothing close to imagination. Try essence de blanc if you want an imagination clone.

[@deonhill9151]

Keep in mind 180 refill after your first buy. Just have to bite the bullet on that first one if you love it enough to be your signature. City of Stars made me pull that trigger.

[@BlessedDelight1]

I can relate Derrick. I live in Texas so it’s warm 10 months out the year so I tend to invest more on warm weather fragrances. I have 6 decants of PDM , Amouge and Tom ford for the winter and I’ve been sitting on those for a year lol. Definitely invest in warm weather fragrances vs cold day scents. 😮

[@Ferraridaone]

Just copped both bro. Everything u recommend is a hit for sure🙏🏾💪🏾

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks Kris! Hope you enjoy them!

[@MackABD]

Which one do you like better

[@Ferraridaone]

@@MackABD personally I’m leaning more towards the Trois lll but u can tell Quartet IV is a banger for the summer but in ny it’s still chilly.

[@MackABD]

@kristopherferrari okay I ordered the quatre, but you think the trois is better for more neutral less warm weather ?

[@Ferraridaone]

@@MackABD they are both great summer bangers but I think u can rock w trois in Spring and early Fall as well.

[@Feemy]

Essence de Blanc is my favourite clone of Imagination. I would say 95% close to Imagination and it lasts easily 8 hrs, all day on clothing. One of the best clones out there, period.

[@dankkush1159]

Where kan I get it at?

[@cesargeronimoespinalrosari1617]

But isn’t available if so, it’s expensive. I’m talking about essence de blanc

[@Feemy]

I purchased my bottle a year ago and it was fairly easy to get hold of then. Now I'm not sure if it is available through retailers. I'm in the UK, and Soghaat and FilledWithBarakah are the two places I mainly buy from. Either them or eBay.

[@BigSwole3030]

I purchased both, and they smell about the same to me. I have the AF version of Imagination, and it's totally different. Maybe I need to let them sit for a while. The smell good, but very similar to each other.

[@damontperkins4169]

Thanks to Ross I brought all four of them. Waiting for them in the mail. Let's hear what you have to say about them.

[@daniellehammond7478]

lol I had the same experience opening it. I went to the LV store and fell in love with like 6 of these . But number 4 is really good about 85 percent close. I’m hoping with maceration it gets closer. Definitely orange but missing some of the bergamot and not as fizzy. But I do love it. Essence de blanc from fragrance world.. is like 95 percent close and projects like a mother 😂

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing Danielle!

[@Feemy]

Essence de Blanc is a damn good clone of Imagination. The quality is excellent and longevity is easy 8 hours.

@alexsuarez8567 performance is only about 4 hours but what can you expect from this type of fragrance. I still say go for it because it's so affordable. I don't know what afternoon swim smells like for a comparison but for the $35 you can't go wrong. Ross channel is TLTG reviews.

[@Lessizmoor]

Dope video, I’m a big fan of LV fragrances from the fresh and middle eastern collection I have af swim and ombré nomade. I have Zara’s clone of imagination it’s amazing, and I will always go get my bottle of afternoon swim refilled when I run out, I plan on getting pacific chill next

Hows the perfomance on you????

[@dschlicht]

I have the 200ml of Imagination and I gotta say, absolute beast of a fragrance, however, I'm very disappointed in the performance. I feel like the samples LV gives are stronger concentrations than their 100/200ml bottles becuase I swear the performance was far superior. Going to check out IV Quartre for sure. Afternoon Swim is fantastic. Do they have a similar one to Pacific Chill?

[@dedrickhicksjr]

They don’t.. but I know who does & it’s really good! ➡️yomlayl.com/products/chillax

Bro, you and Ross might just saved me $260. I have had Imagination in my cart for like a month. I love the scent, but I don't know if the scent justifies the price tag to me. Trois is on the way.

[@shaunsopczak8943]

If you watched another KZbinr review it and he clearly states it opens with a bright orange, how did you not know there was orange in it? The only reason you know about it is because you had it explained to you. All I'm saying is we viewers don't care if you can pick out notes from the thin air and tell us certain accords are playing peek-a-boo in the background. We just want to know if it smells good. You can read the notes off and nobody will think less of you.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Lol!! Bro!! Miss me with your in-accuracy of what this video is about! I gave my truest first impressions of a fragrance that I’ve never smelled before.. I read the notes of each after I smelled them.. I’m documenting my personal expirence and speaking on just that! I never have anything explained to me! I knew it was orange in it because I smelled orange bro. Your wrong here for sure! But thanks for your opinion.. thanks for watching!
