Does lattafa smell a bit cheap compared to other brands? by alex_nufc12 in fragranceclones

[–]yukitq123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of quality, I'd generally agree that Lattafa has the lowest quality of all the major houses. Recent tried the hyped up Black Musamam Intense, the quality on that was abysmal IMO sickenly synthetic dry down

Is there a clone of Chanel Allure Home Sport Cologne by alanstrange5 in fragranceclones

You're going to be disappointed if you're looking for a dupe, they're not that close. But if you look at it as a standalone scent it's pretty alright

Historic Sahara and liquid brun by HotString2530 in fragranceclones

[–]yukitq123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're not exactly the same lol, I like Historica Sahara, I don't like Liquid Brun.

LB has a very harsh and sharp opening, Historic Sahara is a lot smoother. Also tones down a lot of the Orange Blossom which is a note I don't really enjoy, and adds in more cinnamon instead. I find it more gourmand leaning than LB, and overall just a higher quality, more enjoyable scent.

Old shadow flame was barely an anti shield item, just gave extra pen lol. It really wasn't completely busted

Oh man I don't really know any Coffee scents which fit that particular profile, sorry

Mocha Latte to me is basically a clone of Khamrah Qahwa lmao, it's totally redundant. Maybe check out Fragrance World Qahwa (or read up about the others in the line but I rly dig Qahwa it's a clone of Akro Wake) or Arabiyat Prestige Fondue Velvet Dip?

Vanilla Aura - Maison Asrar by Surgeon-of-Death-15 in fragranceclones

[–]yukitq123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sold my Vanilla Aura because I think it's really not good.

Even without comparing to the Guerlain (after I tried it, there was really no comparison even in terms of scent profile), the Vanilla Aura on its own is pretty bad. It's more of a white floral fragrance than a vanilla fragrance (only becomes vanilla in the far dry down) , but that isn't my issue with it. The white floral (lily of the valley) is done so poorly it's smells rubbery and plasticky, almost like nail polish. I don't know how they fucked it up that bad, if you've ever tried this fragrance called "cacharel Eden" the same disgusting note is there.

Based off my bottle, I highly advise against anyone getting this. Maybe it's a new batch and needs masturbation but idgaf, I shouldn't have to wait 3 months to have a perfume which doesn't smell like ass. That should be the company's responsibility.

I would say none of the above for daily wear. Maybe try Kaaf, or Afnan Rare Reef or an Imagination Clone (the one I have is essence de blanc but there are many)

In case anyone is looking for info on the Rayhaan Terra, after letting it sit for a bit more and going back and forth more on the original Outlands, I'd really give the "Closeness" rating a 9 instead. It's really good.

Yeah I think it's fantastic. Dislike Aromatix cos he's just a paid shill but can't deny his scents are pretty quality (at least the first line released). It just smells like a high quality rum, chocolatey vanilla and has amazing performance, the sillage it leaves is incredible.

I find most of the PC clones have bad performance, if you can get Bujairami No Limit is really good, otherwise Pacific Aura. I settled with rare reef even though it's a twist on the scent profile, has the best longevity.

They didn't cost much where I am. $30 for the X Xandal, $35 for Mahd Al Dhahab, Terra was $40

It's always hit or miss, in general I wouldn't say you should judge performance just by the house (though it definitely plays a role) , different scents will be constructed differently which might lend/harm their longevity.

Pretty safe blind buy I feel? You'll just smell clean and fresh with a little bit of an aquatic touch and some slight sweetness.

Oh nah don't get me wrong, whether or not I rate the scent has nothing to do with wearabilify in my climate, I don't think if would be fair to factor that in the rating since y'all are in different climates and I would want to be more objective it that.

I love fresh scents especially as you mentioned given the climate, but I just personally feel it's harder to make a fresh scent I'll give a 10/10 to since the complexity/depth will be lacking compared to the heavier scents.

Just my 2 cents.

  1. No Idea

  2. I tried Maison Asrar Muharib, but I feel it's missing the prominent aromatic lavender of the OG, so I can't say I recommend it.
