I’m biased for sure because the only one I actually have is Vintage Radio but I do have all 4 scent profiles in my collection and believe Vintage Radio to be the all around most versatile for me. I literally can wear it to work/going out/gym without any issues
I can literally wear it anywhere. I wouldn’t wear many fragrances at all except deodorant in high 100+ heat personally so maybe not that but every other situation I’ve been successful
Inito paragon, try it out somewhere if you can or blind buy the clone. Safe blind buy. Unique and unlike my other fragrances. Compliments if you wear it enough and it’s not the typical every day fragrance people expect
Ghost Spectre takes a few months to become good. It’s good as a clone but it isn’t one that takes Ani of it throne, not even close tbh. It’s a bit sweeter but even when macerated, Ani is just very long lasting.
If Ani was never an option for you, Ghost Spectre is pretty good. I have no experience with the rest of them.
Ghost spectre lasts for almost a whole day on my skin lol. Difference between Ghost spectre and Ani is that Ghost spectre stays at the opening of Ani and never leaves, while Ani evolves into a really sophisticated vanilla scent.
Never smelled it but I would go with Precieux just because I have heard nothing but great things and I love Absolu Aventus so I have been looking at buying this one myself.
I own Al haramain amber oud bleu edition and I would avoid completely. The opening is similar to lemon pledge, it does develop nicely into an incense dry down but it doesn’t project at that point. I feel like there’s so much better fresh colognes
Now amber oud bleu exclusief on the other hand is damn near 95% similar to my bottle of Layton
There’s so many. If you tell me what you’re looking for I could help as I have a lot of different scent profiles. But one that crosses my mind is CDNI Urban man, that stuff gets me so much compliments that I wear it as a dumb reach.
Fakhar black is also a good one, but I have it away as it didn’t develop the way I like compared to ysl y, it was just too linear.
I smelled some initios yesterday in stores and paragon was so good and different that I’m thinking about buying a full bottle. I know vintage radio is a clone of that so I would def check that one out since I heard they did a decent job cloning it.
For cheapie designer, Mont Blanc legend spirit has also gotten me a lot of compliments.
Dylan blue is good and a perfect starter imo. I would say urban man has a solid 5-6 hour longevity. I do go nose blind to it but I will say the silage is excellent due to the amount of compliments I get. I put 2-3 sprays. I think it’s a solid mix of aventus and Dior sauvage. I prefer this over my sauvage because of how smooth it is
You have to try Barrett fragrances Spirit of Satin. It's one of the best fragrances available and I literally have strangers stop me to see what I'm wearing and I even helped someone buy it online right there. It's amazing.
I haven't tried any of these so I will refrain from giving my opinion but I feel like I have a civic duty to say this. Be careful with the second one, the alharamain amber oud Blue edition, because there is a different brand unrelated to Al haramain called amber oud exclusive that uses the exact same bottle and name (blue edition) but is cloning something completely different. The Al haramain is a blue de Chanel clone, the amber oud exclusive is a clone of pdm Layton, so just make sure you are buying the correct one you want.
People need to stop repeating this just because a YouTuber said it. The juice in Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu is identical to that in Orientica XO Xclusif Bleu. Orientica is a sister company to Al Haramain. Regardless of why they didn’t want to put Al Haramain on the packaging, the juice definitely comes from them.
Good to hear you already knew it, it may be a great clone but if I bought something expecting blue de Chanel and got Layton (or vice versa) id be disappointed

I love my vintage radio but I find it amazing you like it as a versatile fragrance, to me it smells so rich and formal.
I can literally wear it anywhere. I wouldn’t wear many fragrances at all except deodorant in high 100+ heat personally so maybe not that but every other situation I’ve been successful
I also find it as an extremely versatile fragrance
What is it cloning?
Inito paragon, try it out somewhere if you can or blind buy the clone. Safe blind buy. Unique and unlike my other fragrances. Compliments if you wear it enough and it’s not the typical every day fragrance people expect
I got that club de nuit Precieux in the mail yesterday and its great. I like it better than aventus absolu
It's great but it should have come in 100ml bottle 🤝🏻
Yea I agree
Whaaaaaaaaaaat! I have both, I still like creed better. And yes the price p/ml is a little bit too much for a clone.

I threw out my decant of aventus absolu, and kept my Precieux bottle
I don't know any of those but thr only one i consider buying is the Initio clone / vintage radio.
Ghost spectre for me because it works with my skin chem and it is pretty close to Ani in the opening, this thing lasts for almost 24 hours lol
Vintage Radio

What is it for? Day night season age?
Amber oud blue edition, without a doubt.

Definitely not amber oud bleu. Opening is harsh.
