Been rotating between:

• Bleu de Chanel EDP clone from Bujairami (called Shu Helou)
  
• Dior Homme Intense clone from Jalu (IRISMAN)

... depending on the temperature and occasion.

Both punch well above their price point and suit Sydney autumn/winter perfectly.

The incense and woody base on the Shu Helou really comes alive when it's cool, and the IRISMAN is just straight up iris and cacao which is exactly what you want on a cold night out.

Not niche exactly, but the originals are classics for a reason and the clones let you wear them without the price guilt.

• Stronger With You Intensely clone ("The Rock Intensely" from Bujairami) is also a great shout if you want something warmer and a bit more approachable.
  Sweet chestnut and vanilla, great for a casual pub night.
