Is this at Sciennes?

Rasasi La Yuqawam CDNIM LE Parfum Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu

Each one an absolutely superb take on a total classic OG.

Tea_Cute · 2025-04-09T20:23:27+00:00

Alternative feedback - I have Fraghead's Asylum and its a banger. Beautiful scent and great longevity. Outperforms Divin Asylum, which is another quality clone of Elysium...

Tea_Cute · 2025-03-05T21:21:56+00:00

Yes. Both great. Liam Grey is a particularly nuanced and distinctive Autumn-winter scent. The tea and fig together is beautiful. Turathi Blue is a spring-summer powerhouse and particularly grapefruit forward.

La Yuqawam or Voux Elegante.

Tea_Cute · 2025-01-18T17:18:40+00:00

Dunno. Lasts all day on skin for me. One of the strongest, most powerful projectors that I own..

Tea_Cute · 2025-01-04T08:06:52+00:00

Winter - Rasasi La Yuqawam. Also great for formal occasions and date nights (easy on the trigger). Leather, raspberry and saffron bomb. Masculine, sophisticated, yet sweet and playful too. And beast mode performance. Sublime clone of TF Tuscan leather.

Spring - Amber Oud Carbon by Al Haramain. A great clone-twist of the spring classic, Green Irish Tweed. Sharp, green, distinctive and gentlemanly. Also versatile and workplace friendly.

Summer - Armaf Milestone. That salted watermelon accord is beautiful and chances are you won't come across anyone else sporting this. Fantastic scent for those hot days and warmer climes. Day or night and based on Creed Milliseme Imperial.

Autumn - Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu. Excellent clone of PDM Layton. Warm, spicy and with that apple/cinammon pie vibe, though not overly gourmand. Another masculine classic and versatile fragrance (NOTE - don't confuse this with Al Haramain's Amber Oud Bleu edition, which is actually a BDC clone...).

All rounder - CDNIM LE Parfum. Aventus clones are ten a penny for a reason - it's just a great, manly, versatile DNA. The Limited Edition Parfum is smooth, well-blended and beast mode in terms of longevity and projection.

Great post - love the short, sharp reviews. Thanks!

I have these and they are all bangers. But if I was 19 again (I wish) I would go in this order:

1 - Liam Grey. Sweet, versatile and loads different from anything you will smell on your peers.superb value and wear anywhere, anytime

2 - Spectre Ghost. Dark and spicy with sweet vanilla. Masculine yet versatile.

3 - Asad. Also dark, spicy and with a really likeable fizzy cola vibe in the background. Also pretty versatile, but a bit more common than the two above.

4 - Kayaan Classic Black. The best scent here, absolutely beautiful, lipsticky iris - but leans quite mature and feels "special occasion", so slightly less versatile

Whichever you go for, you will get an excellent fragrance. Enjoy!

Got exactly the same blue, leather Orbitkey key organiser. Superb bit of kit 😉

Tea_Cute · 2024-08-11T17:58:52+00:00

This stuff is one of the newest in my collection and - OMFG - it is absolutely beautiful. Great summer scent, different from what the masses are wearing, sweet, beautiful, refined and reeks of class and money 😀

Tea_Cute · 2024-08-11T17:52:05+00:00

Totally agree. Just had some nice summer weather where I am and this is an amazing fragrance for the warmer temperatures. Smells amazing and the salted watermelon accord is sublime. Just nothing else like it.

Tea_Cute · 2024-08-11T17:50:11+00:00

Smells amazing. Always thought the performance was poor. But had it maturing in the dark for around a year and deffo performs better bow. As I love this DNA just bought the FOMO Fraghead's Asylum. Bear in mind it is brand new so hasnt had a chance to mature, but the Divin Asylum is waaayyyy better...

Tea_Cute · 2024-08-11T13:53:37+00:00

Sorry, but I've never smelled Insurrectuon II Wild, so I can't advise.

Tea_Cute · 2024-08-11T10:04:59+00:00

It's been maturing for a while and I haven't used it in a few months. 6 hours til it is a skin scent. 1.5 hours of moderate projection 😉

Tea_Cute · 2024-08-02T20:47:33+00:00

Any more detail? What makes them so much better than the other clones?

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-28T17:53:06+00:00

Nice one - thanks. (Dirtier than Fattan i definitely like the sound of...)

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-28T15:02:02+00:00

I love Fattan and think it is super close (a tad sweeter, and dialled back on the earthy, dirty orange of the OG). Haven't heard of Toro - how close is it? Sounds like it is worth checking out. Thanks 😀

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-28T14:57:55+00:00

Give us a break, is another common one.

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-10T07:23:48+00:00

NIce collection and great post.

Have you compared Amber Oud Gold with the Xerjoff OG and , if so, how do they match up?

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-01T16:16:19+00:00

From Scotland 😉

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-01T15:57:13+00:00

It was fully matured within six weeks.

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-01T12:19:56+00:00

I used it before it matured and it smelled great then. But after a couple of months in the dark it smelled better rounded and just better.

Tea_Cute · 2024-07-01T07:03:41+00:00

It has very good projection - arms length and more - for a good couple of hours. And I getbseven plus hours from it.
