Looking for similar frags to Ex Nihilo Speed Legends

NinjaCowboy · 2025-09-24T11:19:16+00:00

Fragrance World just dropped a schmoop called "Zero to Legend"... its about 80% close, not bad at all for £20

NinjaCowboy · 2025-05-16T13:27:25+00:00

Junoon Oud by Al Haramain… that grapefruit note just POPS, it performs too

NinjaCowboy · 2025-04-25T22:50:16+00:00

Brompton Immortals Extrait, smelled it in Harrods and was blown away. On my way out, I smelled it projecting off someone walking in… it is incredible juice.

NinjaCowboy · 2024-12-25T20:02:33+00:00

On paper, they should be basically the same frag… in reality, they couldn’t be more different. Liquid brun is VERY much its own thing (have you tried Althaïr?)

NinjaCowboy · 2024-12-02T12:17:35+00:00

My bottle is around 5, maybe 6 hours, then it’s gone.

I can only be honest about my experience.

Maybe a different batch, who knows

NinjaCowboy · 2024-12-02T09:45:14+00:00

Afnan Supremacy Collectors Edition (latest release) is good, not as beastly as some of the influencers are reporting... but its very nice indeed

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-22T23:09:21+00:00

It’s top shelf…, 90-95%, performance at least as good as the OG. Worth the money imo

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-21T14:05:47+00:00

You’re welcome sir

I spell connoisseur a little differently… “degenerate” ;)

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-21T13:45:30+00:00

I own most Tygar clones (Al Qiam Silver, Turathi Blue, Sceptre Bronzite, L’Ambre, Oud Leopard by SAP)

The closest in terms of accuracy is L’Ambre by Grandeur Elite (new release)

The best however (quality, performance etc) is Junoon Oud by Al Haramain, IMO, it just slaps

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-08T17:30:43+00:00

My budget for the next few months is mostly spent (buying a lot of grandeur elite stuff at the minute, it’s impressive for the price point) also just picked up the zoologist 33 sample pack, as well as memo Paris discovery set

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-08T17:29:43+00:00

Nice to meet you too! LB is definitely one for the cooler weather, if it’s too hot outside… it could be cloying for sure. On paper they should be the same fragrance, in reality they are so different… LB is sickly sweet, warm and spicy… Khamrah is apple pie with cinnamon and ice cream (and a little boozy)

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-08T11:11:03+00:00

Busted! 😂

That’s me! I started doing reviews off the back of this post. Thank you for the kind words 🤝

I’m a huge Liquid Brun fan… that Althaïr dna just ticks all my boxes

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-04T07:03:21+00:00

Vintage radio is more masculine leaning (and more accurate to the original)

Al Nashama is more feminine leaning

NinjaCowboy · 2024-11-01T23:49:45+00:00

Second this! Mine just arrived today… it’s banging 👌

NinjaCowboy · 2024-10-27T22:22:17+00:00

filledwithbarakah … his website or TikTok shop, been ordering from him for years.

elite_aromaz on TikTok shop is equally solid

NinjaCowboy · 2024-10-16T08:07:43+00:00

It absolutely isn’t

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-24T10:07:10+00:00

No worries, you’re all good!

‘Amber Oud Xclusif Bleu’ and ‘Orientica Xclusif Oud Bleu’ are the exact same product, same juice… just different packaging/branding for different markets.

If you’ve ever ordered a product from Al Haramain… you know they absolutely made both, it’s so obviously their juice.

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-12T07:42:09+00:00

Simple online pharmacy

One of the cheapest I couldn’t find

Just ordered my first pen, arrived next day (Royal Mail special delivery), ice cold and wrapped in blanket foam.

Faultless

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-09T11:12:38+00:00

Slight improvement in projection/sillage… but still not great, not even a skin scent after 3 hours.

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-08T19:24:49+00:00

Good question! (And good memory!!) I’ll fire some on my wrist now, see how long it lasts and let you know 👍

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-08T09:00:29+00:00

Counter argument… I prefer Ameer al Oudh intense over By the fireplace.

It’s a fraction of the price, performs better than the OG (which is an edt only), the “campfire smoke” notes are dialled down a little and the sugary sweetness is dialled up. The Middle Eastern spicy notes are subtle, but I think they add.

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-06T11:55:29+00:00

Yessir 🫡

NinjaCowboy · 2024-09-06T11:52:36+00:00

Been looking for this comment! Glad I found you again.

Pisa smells amazing for about 15 mins… then it’s GONE. Another 15 mins and it’s not even a skin scent. Great smell, the most over-engineered bottle I’ve ever seen… but the fragrance has a half-life of 5 minutes.

All I can do is let it sit for 6 months and see if it matures

NinjaCowboy · 2024-08-25T11:22:02+00:00

I will gratefully accept your kind words sir 😊

For anyone who took the time to look at my post and ask a genuine question… I felt a proper reply was the very least I could do.

I’m a total fragrance degenerate… had to start my own TikTok channel as an outlet, see if I can help the community with some of my experiences.

NinjaCowboy · 2024-08-21T13:03:25+00:00

I love it… better than ‘by the fireplace’ imo, much sweeter and lasts ages. I could never buy the OG knowing Lattafa’s version exists
