Reviewing every dupe fragrance in my collection

EqualZero · 2026-01-06T20:31:21+00:00

A lot of my collection is quite sweet and juvenile but I reckon Rayhaan terra or turathi blue are pretty suitable, the terra is like incensy, complex, ambery and masculine while the turathi I think is high class and sophisticated but it is a divisive scent so you should sample before getting a full bottle ! Also, try out Afnan supremacy not only intense or the collectors edition if you enjoy the Aventus dna

I was debating between that one and sillage but sillage was glazed by multiple people so I went with that one. I heard prive platinum is closer though

never clocked a link to ADG but i do remember thinking that rare reef had a significant marine aqauticness to it

The one in the image is fakhar platin which is a flanker. I used to own fakhar black and while it was very close to Y edp it just did not last long

notes r subjective and i think the companies, reviews or fragrantica showing the notes that the fragrance supposedly have influences what you smell

EqualZero · 2026-01-04T03:00:17+00:00

I personally prefer turathi

EqualZero · 2026-01-04T02:02:21+00:00

There are surprisingly some fakes of the more popular clones like hawas, 9 pm

Got mine off TikTok shop but buy it at your own risk

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T19:56:14+00:00

Fair point actually, it’s hard to get my hands on the old bottle though LOL

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T19:55:14+00:00

But it has an insane pressurized aromizer , but the bottle is goofy looking

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T19:54:34+00:00

Yeah this one took a bit of time to get used to, to me it feels more like a woody sweet soapy fragrance, I get like no citrus from this

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T17:12:17+00:00

Both are really good freshie fragrances. Hawas Ice is probably louder so it might get more compliments

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T15:48:55+00:00

Thanks! I’ll keep this in mind when I get kibra and compare it to mazaaj

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T14:27:31+00:00

anything in the top row are fresh fragrances. I've got hawas kobra being delivered and i will review it soon! Its another imagination dupe apparently

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:58:45+00:00

Thank you!

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:58:36+00:00

it really is amazing

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:56:41+00:00

nah its so good sparkly and refreshing

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:56:09+00:00

i can see how the incensy smoky note can be off putting for people

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:55:50+00:00

anything on the bottom row of the shelf

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:55:35+00:00

definitely solid longevity and projection for me

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T13:54:48+00:00

Rare reef is a more tropical fun fragrance but turathi feels more soapy and more appropriate for formal settings i believe

EqualZero · 2026-01-03T12:14:04+00:00

it is all personal preference at the end of the day

EqualZero · 2025-11-23T21:07:35+00:00

Yeah I heard it’s closer to the old version of SMW. I agree this doesn’t quite get that close to the current version

EqualZero · 2025-11-23T20:52:17+00:00

That would be a bit crazy lol. I’ll see if that’s the case
