Top 5 Clones that Replace The Original (Jul 24)

[@Cornelle6319]

Got two of these on the strength of your review. Appletini and Althair. I’m Certain I’ll be pleased. I find After Effect and Intense Addiction to negate the need for the originals as well.

[@jamarr911]

@@Cornelle6319 yea their Initio clones are quite nice. But yea I think you will be satisfied with Liquid Brun and Appletini.

[@Guicepp]

Great recommendations! I picked up Royal Blend, Lumiere Garcon, and Miraj Absolu-they're all fantastic. Especially loving Lumiere Garcon, such a unique, almost leathery scent. Got a sample of Mawj Appletini arriving tomorrow! Quick question: Miraj Absolu smells amazing from the bottle, but on my skin, it shifts toward Amouage Interlude Man and loses the Layton sweetness. Is that normal for the Layton exclusive DNA, or could it be my skin?

[@jamarr911]

@@Guicepp yea also try the Mawj Moscow Mule when you can as well. It’s really good if you like fresher, citrusy scents. Lumiere Garcon is def a beast though. And Ive never smelled Interlude Man but Miraj Absolu does the same thing that Layton Exclusif does for me on skin. Might need to let your bottle sit.

[@fegermany2413]

The bottle is even gracious than PDM tbh, so its very masculine rite? ❤❤❤❤

[@Guicepp]

@@jamarr911 Thanks a lot for the tips man! I've tried Mawj Appletini sample, but it's not really my thing. Il keep my eye out for the Moscow Mule. If a sample comes available ill definitely check it out. I do like citrusy scents over blues.

[@BlessedDelight1]

Def interested in the Afnan Supremacy Collectors Edition. Wish it was a absolu clone but sounds likes it’s a floral aventus. You should check it out.

Great video my man! I’ve actually been recently looking into several of these, so the timing on this was perfect (although now I want to buy all of them 😂)! It’s amazing how far clones have come since I really got into the fragrance game 10 years ago. I’ve been delving more into niche this year, but the quality vs price of some of these clone fragrances makes it nearly impossible to justify paying for the OG. One of the best clones (and fragrances in general) that I’ve picked up this year is Lattafa Emeer. It was inspired by Clive Christian’s Town & Country. I haven’t gotten my nose on the OG, and honestly I don’t even care to sample T&C anymore. Emeer is just that incredible! You should definitely check it out if you haven’t! A unique, yet versatile fresh fragrance with fantastic performance! This one could easily be worn year round! I don’t understand how it hasn’t garnered much traction in fragcom yet, especially considering the value vs the OG. Would love to hear your thoughts on it sometime!

[@jamarr911]

@@Michael.Gasaway thank you, thanks for watching and yes the clones continue to improve for sure. Hopefully they are here to stay.

[@shmoopiebear]

Mawj Appletini interests me. Liquid Brun only mildly. The Pinnace Noir makes me think of Nazih Silver. But Nazi, I have heard, is harsher in the opening. But it is $20 cheaper. Thank you for the review.

Liquid brun and appletini are insanely good, me too i was a bit hesitating but when i bought them omg the quality is litteraly designer no alcohol blast and sooo good both of them

Great list! Had my eye on Appletini already, but Lumiere Garcon has to added to my pick up list!

[@jamarr911]

@@TheNoviceKnows thank you bro! And yea Lumiere Garcon is a definite pick up.

Could you try "Royal Blend" by Fragrance world and do a comparison to the original? People say it's the closest clone to Angels Share.

Apologies of it’s already been asked, but do you have any updates thoughts on the newer batch of Divin Asylum you did a video on about two months ago? If maturation changes anything, two months should definitely be enough to tell any differences. Appreciate it!

[@jamarr911]

@@the.Aruarian hello, I sold that bottle, i had it for about 2 months and nothing really changed.

Bro...that Liquid Brun ! Way better....IMHO...than PDM Althair.

[@KurushimiVrishraka]

Yo John! Almost see you everywhere. Lol, anyways, I haven't gotten the LB, but I believe you, I own the Althair itself and it doesn't quite give me the longitivity I want. But when you say it, I knew LB wins!

@Yaa2024 Thank you for the nice shout out .😁😁😁

[@shmoopiebear]

I have Moonlit Night. I like it. Some reviewers say performance is below average, opening is synthetic, and it is sweeter. It needs maturation. Is getting Lumiere Garcon redundant? Just curious. Thank you.

[@jamarr911]

Hello, yes it is

[@WhiskyWars]

What’s the longevity for Miraj? I have a few French Avenue’s, they smell great but they don’t last as long as I would like :(

[@jamarr911]

@@WhiskyWars right now Im getting a solid 7 hours. Im sure like with most French Avenue fragrances they tend to perform a lot better after a month or two of maturation.

[@suzimajor9532]

Clones are the future of fragrances..if you can buy a fragrance that is (as you described LIQUID BRUN) 98% as good as the original, then it would be ridiculous to buy the original. ESPECIALLY in the case of Althair..Parfum De Marley fragrances are notoriously expensive, but if you can get a spot-on clone of one for FIFTY BUCKS you’ll never want to pay full price for an original one again!

[@jamarr911]

@@suzimajor9532 i definitely agree

[@arjanmoore5522]

idk bro people will always continue to buy the original just for the brand value. Also there are certain fragrances in which the dupe just can’t capture the magic & high quality of CERTAIN niche fragrances. To me if a fragrance that costs $300 is able to get spot on duped for $50 shows the quality isn’t the best for the price. Its nice to have a cheaper alternative with the same scent profile so clones will definitely take up a good chunk of the market but many people especially enthusiasts will want the originality, creativity, and magic of the original because its art at the end of the day someone spent countless hours on making a perfume composition just my two cents

[@nwa7769]

PDM fragrances are also notoriously making copycats themselves… this brand is a scam. They are selling popular DNA at niche price.
