Top Notch Initio Clones

[@wattamugen4055]

Thank you for organizing your video really well and giving us timestamps with each section. I really hate it when content creators waste our time with pointless yapping and never get to what we're all here for. Great work!

[@jamarr911]

@@wattamugen4055 thank you! Thanks for watching.

Vintage radio was my SOTD today. good stuff

[@PlatinumPlusOutDoors]

Lataffa Al Nashama is supposedly a better copy of Paragon. Im waiting on mine to come to see the difference

[@Cornelle6319]

You've become one of my Go To reviewers on these fragrance clones. You have yet to be wrong on any of my purchases. I've had both Musk Therapy clones and gifted them to females. Loved the juice...but it just didn't give me what I needed. Vintage Radio on the other hand is MUCH better. It's still not one that reach for alot....and when I do...Most times I'll layer with something else. Great Content as always.

[@jamarr911]

@@Cornelle6319 thank you bro I appreciate it. I just try to keep it as real as possible and spit out what my nose tells me. And yea Musk Therapy is definitely a little more on the feminine side for sure. I don’t reach for it as much as I do some of the other scents in my collection but I still love it every time I do decide to wear it.

[@nekrozclockwork]

Hey man, great video as always, can I have a request? Could you do a video comparing fa Paris after effect to intro aftermath? With how annoying it is to get after effect if aftermath is similar but cheaper it would be a great thing. Thanks

[@jamarr911]

Thank You! Thanks for watching! I’ll look into that.

[@Feemy]

Have both. Love both. Top notch fragrances.

[@jamarr911]

I agree

[@venicxk]

are they close??

[@HeavenlyDemon592]

Could you review the new Fragrance World Spectre Wraith? Heard it's a black phantom clone.

[@jamarr911]

Possibly

[@22ABA22]

Would you possibly consider reviewing intro aftermath, a side effect clone? I wonder how it compares to the original, considering that the ivory musk is good..

[@jamarr911]

Possibly

[@Obokombo]

Yes, it's cool but After Effect is better

[@22ABA22]

@@Obokombo Yeah I am aware of that one as well, it's just that on reddit people say it is not really close to side effect but the performance is nuclear nevertheless, so I am trying to find out whether or not aftermath gets closer:)

[@Obokombo]

@@22ABA22 Ater Effect has better performance, Intro aftermath is somewhat denser and duller than After Effect and it is not as sickly sweet as After Effect after like 5 hours of application, personally the Side Effect itself is not my DNA but if i'm asked to pick one between both clones irrespective of their closeness to the original, i will pick Intro Aftermath.

[@22ABA22]

@@Obokombo Thank you very much for the response! Since I can't test them this was very helpful!

[@GeraltBosMang]

How about After Effect and Happiness Oud and Glorious Oud on your list? I remember you reviewed them as well.

[@jamarr911]

What about them?

[@GeraltBosMang]

@@jamarr911 Are they also top-notch Initio Clones?

[@deniskraussner6425]

@@GeraltBosMangi have AFTER EFFECT. Its a nuclear bomb bro. Its not my prefered DNA but performance wise.. its nuclear.

[@jamarr911]

@@GeraltBosMang imo yes

[@totepkhonsu3271]

i think Zimaya Musk is great clone of musk therapy too tho

[@GuiltyByPigmentation]

Agree

[@daddyjotaro2109]

the problem i have with initio is their reformulations. Other than that its a good house. My fav being side effect

[@jamarr911]

Hmmm…I haven’t heard about them reformulating their stuff but I guess makes sense since I know PDM also does the same thing.

[@shmoopiebear]

Blame it on IFRA. A lot of designers niche are complying with changing regulations. That is why snapping up older inventory of favorite scents is a good idea.

[@andrewk9241]

vintage radio by far better than paragon. It doesnt have the weird medicinal herbal note paragon has which I do not like. I sold paragon for vintage radio its that much better.

[@scotthair]

Anything cloning Initio Rehab worth picking up?

[@jamarr911]

@@scotthair not that I know of

[@UnAuthorizedFragTherapy]

Does it require time to mature/macerate?

[@jamarr911]

Both of my bottles are several months old so Im not sure. They were fine right out of the box for me though.

[@Feemy]

Mine didn't. Both were great from day 1

[@thefamilycorleone6903]

My Intro ivory musk did. I gave it a good month to macerate and it has become much “louder”

[@darito1]

My ivory bottle leaks like crazy when I spray… 0 put of 10

[@jamarr911]

Sorry to hear that, you may want to reach out to the store you purchased it from.

[@kcxy1996]

Al Nashama vs Vintage Radio

[@Feemy]

VR, hands down

[@kcxy1996]

@@Feemy In what way?

[@Feemy]

@@kcxy1996 Closeness and smoothness. Al Nashama is a slight twist IMO whereas Vintage Radio is a 95% clone.

[@shmoopiebear]

Al Nashama is cheaper by ten percent. It's deeper and richer and not as loud. Probably better as an evening scent and for cooler weather.

[@icemanbrfc]

​@@Feemydisagree.. Al Nashama for me is slightly better than VR. It feels a bit more richer, and a bit more stronger than VR. But both are a good choice, which ever way you go for a Paragon clone.
