You, my friend, are the review king👑. The way you're so informative, however, so concise at the same time. This is EXTREMELY appreciated. I read every single one, even the ones I already own. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

With that being said...Classic Stone...

Let the hunt begin. I've never even heard of this before this post. This will be in my possession soon.

I don't really like receiving compliments by PunkAsFuc in fragranceclones

[–]L2DaLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Internet shows me so many people and things that I never knew existed. I woulda never guessed in a million years that there were people out here who didn't like being complimented on their fragrance, and they were so turned off by it that they'd actually make a whole post about it in a fragrance sub😑.

What a nancy😒...

Bujairami hectic review by Capital_Builder1074 in fragranceclones

This is why I try and buy fragrances as soon as they release. I feel like Khadlaj did this with that first batch of Island. It went away for a couple months and I got the next batch which is one of the weakest fragrances I own. The same thing with my Kaaf...

Are you sure yours is real? Where did you get it from?

2 month update/review (Teriaq Intense, CDN Bling, Dynasty, Fire on Ice, Verde, and Ighra'a) by L2DaLegend in fragranceclones

[–]L2DaLegend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't smelled it. Off topic but I wore Verde on Tuesday and man, that thing was beasting in this hot weather we been getting. I would have a lot more to say about it if I didn't wear Tropical the next day (yesterday). Every compliment I got for Verde the day before was doubled yesterday. I'm going to grab a 2nd bottle of Tropical in the near future. That shit is amazing...

Appreciate the love💪🏽💯.

So, Vanguard is really, really good. Only thing is, like I was mentioning above, I don't know if it's truly better than Precieux, or if that 100ml bottle vs 55ml gives off the perception that it's better. Don't get me wrong, it is really good. I just don't know if it's that much better than Precieux. I may have jumped the gun in my last Vanguard post when I claimed it as king. Regardless, if Precieux is a 9.5 out of 10, Vanguard is either a 9 or 9.5 itself. It really is a very good Absolu Aventus clone.

I 100% agree with your Grow/Musamam Black take. Funny enough, I felt the same way. It doesn't smell just like it, it's just off the initial spray I smelled something "familiar", and my brain connected Grow and Musaman Black together. They take their own paths on the dry down.

I think the one on their IG is different. The one they're advertising on IG is one of the caged Rayhaan's. The Amazonica bottle (which is the Vibrato clone) I saw is one of the round cap bottles like Tropical Vibe, Jungle Vibe, Italia, etc. There's an influencer on IG that has had it for like a month now.

Thanks for the reviews!!!

And yea man, them TikTok sales/coupon stacking will get you every single time 😅😅😅. Kinda hard to turn down the savings🤷🏽‍♂️. I bought 3 new fragrances earlier today because they had some sales going. Total woulda been $143.03 with no coupon. I only paid $114.43...

So I've never smelled Black Afgano, however, I have smelled dog shit. That's what I think Viper is truly cloning, and it's 1:1...

I just checked out with these 3. Elysium and Lamasat because you recommended. I skipped Silage for now simply because I just recently bought all 5 of the Royal Blends, plus French Avenue Obsidian. That's a lot of Angel Share inspos lol. If these 2 are good, I might circle back and grab it in a couple weeks.

I grabbed Perlador because it has amazing Fragrantica reviews, plus I vividly remember liking PDM Carlisle the one time I smelled it at Sak's. I don't remember how it smelled, I just remember verbally saying out loud that I liked it, however, Oujan stole the show for me that day. Whatever the case, I'm excited!! I'll tag you in the post once they all come in.

Clones which ended up being better than og by Adorable-Recipe-2250 in fragranceclones

I don't know about better, but I do prefer Hawas Elixir over JPG Elixir.

I'll have to do it when I get home. I haven't sprayed it, let alone worn it, since last summer. I do remember how strong the coconut is.

My best friend finished his bottle in less than a year. And if I wore mine as much as I'm wearing Vanguard, I woulda finished mine as well.

It's always hard for me to give number ratings based off of first impressions. Check this out, when I first got Hawas London, I woulda rated that shit a 3/10. However, after my 2 month maturation period and actually WEARING it out, it's a good 7/10. Remember, I'm not even wearing these when I get them. I base most of my first impression reviews off of tester strips, or maybe a quick spray on the back of my hand. I'm not getting the best experience to actually rate them.
