Khashab Al Oud – by Ard Al Zaafaran
From the start of the year, I switch out my winter fragrance choices for much crisper, fresher fragrances – citruses, fougeres. This trend continues up until June when the skies […]
Ard Al Zaafaran – Waqar
Here’s an under-the-radar fragrance from Ard Al Zaafaran that I’ve had in my collection for a few years, yet have seen next to nothing about online, and I’ve no idea […]
Khalis – Oudh Woody
Oudh Woody is an interesting one from Khalis. I can see what they’ve tried to do with the bottle, but that label makes it look a bit tacky. What you […]
Maison Alhambra – Hercules
Hercules by Maison Alhambra is a clone of Parfums De Marley Herod. I LOVE this stuff. A smooth, sweet tobacco and vanilla mix. Very comforting. I previously tried Heros by […]
Ard Al Zaafaran – Oud 24 Hours Majestic Gold
Oud 24 Hours by Ard Al Zaafran is not an oud fragrance, and it won’t last 24 hours. Instead, it has sweet vibes with a dusty, smoky leather undertone. Has […]
Giorgio Armani – Code Ultimate
Wow, this takes me back. I got this around a decade ago. Back in the early 21st century, whilst still enthusiastic about fragrance, I was pretty much limited to three […]
Jaguar Classic Amber
Let’s take a look at Jaguar Classic Amber. I’ve quite enjoyed exploring the Jaguar line over the last few years. For the price point they’re fairly decent, though in my […]
Ferrari Uomo
Ferrari Uomo was one of my first ‘proper’ Ferrari fragrances with a 50ml purchased in 2017 and I remember first wearing it not long before Christmas while working nights in […]
Abraaj – Brackish
FA Paris is Fragrance World’s premium line and this one, Abraaj Brackish is a clone of Amouage Bracken. I had to give this one a try as I love the […]
Khalis – Oud Afgano
Khalis don’t get the love they deserve in the fragrance community. They have a wide selection of originals and clones, most of which are at a really cheap price point […]
Lattafa – Just Oud Boulevard Edition
I got Just Oud – Boulevard Edition not long after first experiencing Raghba Wood Intense. I wanted to explore more middle-eastern fragrances. I’ve got to admit, I do like the […]
Next – Origin
Next do a pretty decent selection of fragrances for the money, and the longevity is generally pretty good with them. As far as I’m aware, most of them are clones […]
Maison Alhambra – Russe Leather
Here’s one I don’t see much of at all online. Russe Leather by Maison Alhambra. Look at that bottle!! You don’t have to be a clone detective to figure out […]
Karl Lagerfeld – Bois D’Ambre
Another one of this year’s acquisitions. Having already purchased the others in this line (Vetiver, Cedar, Yuzu), I noticed one was outstanding so took the plunge. I’m fond of amber […]
Fragrance World – The Gemstone: Azlan
I’ve got a bit of a thing for Bvlgari fragrances, but not the wallet for the real thing, so the clones really appeal to me! One of my absolute favourites […]
3 Khalis Memo Paris Clones
There are several fragrance houses that do clones that are talked about a lot in the fragrance community — Armaf, Paris Corner, Lattafa, Ard Al Zafaraan. But there’s one brand […]
Ferrari Leather Essence
I spent 2019 exploring the range from Ferrari. When you think of scents by car manufacturers, you tend to think they’re going to be a bit lacklustre – the sort […]
