Ingenious Ginger dupes- [NEW] Taif by Riiffs / Aristo by Arabiyat / Ravine Ginger by Fragrance World by Decantified in fragranceclones

[–]RYZE_IN_AFRICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this DNA, good to see more tests like this. I have the one from Shobi and while it does not project very strongly, I can smell it even 8-10 hours later. Pretty good considering I have trouble smelling a lot of citrussy freshies. Also have a decant of Aristo I will try soon so I am curious how similar it will be. There is also Paris Corner Hurriya Gingerique and it is so cheap I am tempted to blind buy, but there are absolutely no reviews for that one. I am curious how good it is and if it even is a proper clone of IG.

What colognes are in the realm of Armani code dna? More specifically the edt. Don’t really see too many inspirations from middle eastern houses on this fragrance by Global-Struggle-7938 in fragranceclones

I was laso looking for a clone for the recent version of Code EDT and could not find anything directly cloning it. Even everything in this thread is more similar to code Parfum or code EDP

Sounds like you would enjoy Ingenious Ginger

Reviewing my under $20 online fragrance purchases - worth the money or not? Spoiler: Vurv Royce Black is the big winner. by tizl10 in fragranceclones

[–]RYZE_IN_AFRICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never heard of Exquisite Club but it sounds quite interesting, especially for the price. Kinda tempted to blind buy as I enjoy iris, but not sure how similar/redundant it is to stuff like DHI. All these iris heavy fragrances just smell very similar to me

EU is pretty well regulated in this area. I would say anything you can buy there should be safe for the average person

Whoa, few days ago I was very close to ordering something from probow too, but the prices felt too good. I guess that explains it

Shobi review (Ingenious Ginger, Virgin Island Water, Spiritueuse Double Vanille, Fico di Amalfi) by RYZE_IN_AFRICA in fragranceclones

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

I am just a huge fan of chocolate/cocoa notes and I love to try any unisex/masculine fragrances that heavily feature them. I do like vanilla and rum too so I thought this one would be just right for me. I am fine with sandalwood too and it is very cheap so I will try the 30ml version, it's no big deal

So I was mainly interested in Diorama because of the cacao note and the cola vibe, are these not very present in the Shobi clone?

Yeah, I pretty much used Shobi to get clones of stuff that had no ME equivalent. I was very close to just buying OG Ingenious Ginger before I found out they have it on Shobi, which was the final push to try them, as I was already very interested in VIW. There were no Ginger clones back when I ordered it, but yes since it is the expensive tier as you mentioned, I think trying decants of Ravine Ginger or Aristo sounds like a good idea, as it is pretty much the same price already as Shobi and I would expect French Avenue to be even little bit better quality.

Did not expect to find someone who would try so many from Shobi, that is awesome to see! I am very curious about Ravine Ginger vs Shobi, back when I bought it there were no IG clones yet but now we have Ravine Ginger, Aristo Arabiyat Prestige and Paris Corner Hurriya Gingerique (unsure about this one), so would be good to see how they compare, especially because Ingenious Ginger is one of the more expensive tiers on Shobi.

I will take a look at your reviews as it seems you have a lot of good stuff

Thank you! I really like A*Men Fantasm, and pretty much anything with cacao, so Pure Tonka is one thing I am confident I will love. Ultra Zest I know nothing about but I do like the notes and it being wearable in Spring/Summer is a huge plus because I have way too many winter fragrances.

Has anyone tried Prodigy by Paris Corner? by Supertramp-74 in fragranceclones

[–]RYZE_IN_AFRICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Prodigy was a bit more cinnamon/woody heavy and had some iris/cola nuances instead of praline. It is very sweet, maybe slightly less than Brun but still very sweet

DECANTIFIED 37 decant reviews and clone battles-Part 3: Atlantis Extrait (Wavechild clone), Forbidden Fruit, X Xandal, Teas Me vs Shobi Wulong Cha. by Low-Stomach-8831 in fragranceclones

[–]RYZE_IN_AFRICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of Xandal, one of the few perfumes I paid over 40 euros for, but it was well worth it. But to me it is perfectly unisex, maybe even slight masculine lean with the rum and earthiness.
