I don’t mind clones but at the same time I would almost always prefer the original with that said I refused to buy Louis Vuitton fragrances. I tried afternoon swim. I tried Pacific chill they both smell amazing but you’re paying $400-600 for a fragrance that you absolutely cannot smell two hours later. So wearing the clones absolutely makes sense.

You are 1,000 percent right! There cannot be a valid reason for charging that much. Then most of these scents ultimately get reformulated and we find out when its too late and have already purchased (in a lot of cases). Then they wont even give us a pressurized atomizer!? Hells nah, lol

Lattafa Maahir is AMAZING!! I loved it right out of the gate… Absolutely no maceration required with this one. Gorgeous lively effervescent citrus bomb. And as gaudy as the bottle is… I really like it… Unique, solid as a tank, great atomizer, heavy cap. This, plus Asad and Detour Noir are def my best clone pickups this year

I used to own a travel size of Hawaii Volcano Intense. Virgin Island Water is my favorite Creed fragrance and I probably would've never bought that if not for having Alexandria's version first. I loved that DNA so much that I told myself I have to experience the original and bought the Creed after my Hawaii Volcano ran out. I even have the 30ml of Yom & Layl's take on it as well so yeah, I've been obsessed with that DNA 😂.

I hate letting the world know this, but the milestone is to me is the no-brainer of no-brainers. Now full disclosure I personally prefer untold more than milestone but milestone gets a crazy amount of compliments to me. I had never smelt Millesime imperial prior to milestone And the response is shocking. I have about 100 fragrances about 60 niche,15 designer and 25 clone/ clone house and I’m not sure that there is one that gets more compliments The milestone one whenever people ask me what I’m wearing I tell them it’s Creed Millisime imperial. I am not going to let somebody know that I’m wearing a $25 cologne that’s getting constant compliments.

@dedrickhicksjr So, true to my word, ive recieved my Sceptre Malacite, and I think that YOU may be correct Dedrick. This definately smells very, VERY fruity where Kobraa should be a "Green fragrance". So although Fragrantica has the Kobraa notes on it. I think I have to stand corrected, .and your right about this being a God of Fire clone.

Smells like cdnim mixed with a slight touch of elysium. Not what i was looking for. I’ll let it macerate for a while and see if it gets better. If not ill look into your version instead.
