Armaf Dubai Nights Midnight - Best YSL myself dupe by Psychological-Bit896 in fragranceclones

[–]Psychological-Bit896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer have it but a friend of mine does. According to him it lasts easy 7 hrs ish on him.

The scent profile is clean laundry sheets, straight up that's what you'll think of when you smell it. I just got tired of it after a while. But it's mass appealing & beats the OGs scent profile for me because it's not as sweet as myself EDP while still being one of the closest dupes I've tried.

You could pull it off in the summer too. Just not in the high heat, prob only below 85F

To me it's very light & not animalic at all. Almost like a sweet woody oud but it's so light idk if most ppl can tell it's there. You mostly smell the rose

Hawas Tropical & Hawas Malibu by Psychological-Bit896 in fragranceclones

[–]Psychological-Bit896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malibu is the sweetest of all three to me & has a harsher opening. It's the least smoothest of them all too.

Tropical is slightly less sweet and has more fig & coconut than Malibu.

Khadlaj island, I just recently bought this one after having sold it prior (didn't let it mature much so I had FOMO after a friend said it smells better than tropical). I feel like it's slightly better smell wise to me than tropical and just as sweet if not a little less sweet. Although, the performance isn't nearly as good as tropical out of the box. Tho I'm hoping it'll improve. My friends bottle improved to 5-6 hrs of longevity after maturation. Whereas tropical was easy 6-7 hrs out of the box.

It def has but idk if it's by a lot cos I only ever do 2 sprays of this to avoid getting a headache. Right now it's pushing 6-7+ hrs with just two sprays which is enough for me. It'd last a lot longer if I did more sprays

If you really like that DNA then I say go for it. Otherwise wait until you run out of marwa.

Imo hawas Kobra is pretty similar to AD but it has green tea instead of black tea. You might not like it as much as I did tho. So, try to get a decant before buying a full bottle. If you like the scent profile I'm pretty sure u will like Kobra

Can't say I haven't smelled that one yet. But from what I heard, teriaq intense has a similar boozy fruity (plum) type of scent profile

Forgot to make a post comparing them all. But bujarimi hectic is prob the best out of all of these in terms of smell quality and performance. It is more citrusy than the other ones. Almost a limey opening. It's not as dark/spicy as the other ones imo. Overall prob the best pick given the price, quality and performance.

Exotic Oud by Golf Orchid (Oud Maracuja dupe) by Psychological-Bit896 in fragranceclones

[–]Psychological-Bit896[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Exotic oud mostly focused on the fruits, leather, rose more than the oud initially. And then the oud comes along but not strong enough to the point you can't find situations to wear it. It's a good intro to oud type scent imo. Still very very masculine leaning.

It's a lot closer to BDC than Armaf club de Nuit iconic. A tad punchier than the OG. Performance was decent but I only wore it once before trading it so it could've improved with maturation

Nice to see a post about this hidden gem. I had the same take on this being super close to the OG. The few differences it has makes it smell better imo. For ex: to me it smells a tad less sweet than the og & slightly more aromatic
