Lattafa Atlas. Salty, aquatic, powdery, fresh, a little herbal. Got my first bottle 14 May. Took me a little over 3 months, probably wore it 50/90 days. 2 sprays on each wrist, 1 on each shirt collar (I have eczema) and 1 on the back. Sometimes i reapply them when I miss the smell enough. It's so inoffensive I have never gotten complaints. I don't care about compliments as long as I like the smell. Don't get why this scent profile isn't more popular

Al haramain oud aqua Dubai
This one itself has gotten me a lot of compliments, great for summer, it’s a bit synthetic, but the fruitiness and freshness is there, has good projection lasts me 8+ hours overall Its citrus dominant and I can smell the bergamont and orange a lot

Armaf Club de nuit sillage
I’ve gotten same amount of compliments as aqua Dubai with this people seem to love it, this one has kind of a strong ambroxan smell that’s always there, for me it also smells a lot floral, like roses when you put then on a glass of water, it also is citrusy but not a lot, and the dry down it’s soft sandalwood with a touch of ambroxan, last 8+ hours
I also like to combine it with the Dubai aqua due to their similar smell

Rasasi Hawas Malibu
This one is also a compliment fisher like a whole aura of addictive smell, this one is one of my favorites I personally like the sweet and fresh smell of the pineapple and grapefruit combined, I can also smell the tonka bean in this which I would say is one of the only things you smell once is dries down apart from the orris root. Lasts 6+ hours for me

Khadlaj shiyaaka shadow
Another of my compliment fishers, can’t go wrong with that grapefruit opening I would say is the strongest thing I smell, after that is a deep moss smell topped by wood and lavender, smells really similar to the Rasasi Hawas so I like to combine them, lasts 7+ hours for me

French avenue Sun kissed
Opening is deep fresh cardamom smell with bergamont and orange leafs, I would also say it has that wood smell too would say this is one of the most pleasant smells and natural, it has everything a fresh clone should, lasts 4+ hours on my skin tho, lasts longer on fabric, if you sweat it’ll make it better and sweater

Beverly Hills polo club Elysian mirage
Has a strong bergamont opening, very similar to French avenue sun kissed just doesn’t have the green strong notes, I would say this one is kinda synthetic, the dry down smells like wood and mint, great starter fresh scent cuz and one of the cheapest, lasts 3+ hours, I like to combine it with the French avenue sun kissed cuz their similar and can go with each other really good

Coach blue
This one is a great fresh scent with a strong lime ozonic opening, this scent is a lot synthetic did make my head hurt, but it’s basic and I like it, the dry down smells like cedar wood and lime , the ozonic scent stays the whole time , didn’t pay attention on how much it lasted but would say 2+ hours

Odyssey limoni
Strong citrusy opening, like fresh sweet oranges, and a bit of lime, I also smell aquatic/ocean notes but they’re subtle, only lasted me 2+ hours good smell bad projection and duration

Rayhaan Tonquin Giza
Strong spices opening, straight alcohol at first too , the cocoa note on this is subtle but there, the tonka bean is the only note that makes it pleasant for me, but for you this might be a banger, would recommend not to over spray this one cuz it’ll make your head hurt haven’t used it yet.

French avenue amber empire
Strong alcohol opening( which also is present on the whole experience) I would say this is more pleasant for me than Tonquin Giza, because it also smells a lot woody to me and a spicy, the types of wood notes on this clone are carrying , not my taste tho so for you this might be a banger,

Jean marc Paris get away
Marine notes opening, smells citrusy and fresh to me, after it dries down it turns into a pleasant fresh ocean with wood scent, only lasts 1 hour for me

Wrist water Amber oud
Strong alcohol opening, after it settles it smells like pleasant cardamom, topped with soft fresh woods, and patchouli, weak duration of only 2 hours

Calvin Klein Ckin2u for him
Strong powdery opening, soft synthetic leaf scent, just a basic clean man smell, nothing special on it never buy

Classified crystal rouge
For me this scent smells like scented piss, I can’t smell any note in this don’t buy, terrible projection and duration too

I don’t know what either of them smell like and they are in 90% of each other since they dupe the same Byrado fragrance lol.

Lattafa
His Confession
Smell: 7/10
Longevity: 6/10
Powdery iris is definitely the main aspect, with some vanilla in the background. A very elegant, simple, and pleasant smell; I'd say great for a date or evening with friends. It's definitely a unisex scent, though. It lasts pretty much 5 hours with a strong projection on skin, and leaves a faint smell on clothes for a day or two.

Khamrah
Smell: 6/10
Longevity: 10/10
This was the very first fragrance I got, and it was obviously because I got caught in the hype. Now, I don't dislike the fragrance by itself, but after wearing it only like 10 times, I'm so bored and full of it. An extremely, sickeningly sweet smell of dates, faint bubblegum, cinnamon, and something like a weak coconut cake. An extremely sweet gourmand fragrance that you will absolutely love or hate. I've had my fill of it pretty quickly. Heard the Qahwa version is a better choice. It lasts for ages, though.

Asad Elixir
Smell: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10
I gotta say I bought this right after smelling Boss Bottled Absolu in a shop and loving it, and this doesn't really smell similar to me. I don't see how it is a clone of Boss. That doesn't mean, however, that it's a bad fragrance. An earthy, manly, dark, but sort of clean scent. I have a hard time describing the notes in it, but the final blend smells really good. I'll make this my daily for the winter. Lasts for a good time as well.

Afnan 9PM Rebel
Smell: 9/10
Longevity: 100/10
Pineapple bomb opener, extremely juicy and sweet. As it settles, it's mixed with moss and some wood mixed with some bitter smell for me, but in a good way. In the drydown, it smells extremely pleasant. A worthy daily wear for sure, pretty much for any weather. The projection and longevity are absolutely nuclear. 3 to 4 sprays is the absolute limit in my opinion, and from my experience and comparison with my friend, this even beats Supremacy CE. The best 9PM, I'd say.

Rare Reef
Smell: 8/10
Longevity: 9/10
Did a full review of this one a while back. Citrusy, aquatic fresh scent, bit of apricot in the drydown. Lasts really long and projects well.

Supremacy Not Only Intense
Smell: 7/10
Longevity: 10/10
On the opening, this is 80% moss and 20% blackcurrant syrup, and it lasts that way for a pretty long time. Only after an hour or so does it start to remind you of the other notes in there, like pineapple, musk, and citrus, and they are very, very light. For me, the moss is the main ingredient here, and that's either going to be good or really bad for you. I like it, but I'm not blown away, as I expected a bit more. Still, I wear this to open spaces and a lot of my friends told me that it's very easy to smell it and catches one's interest. Earthy, sort of rotten wet forest tree-bark vibe is what I get from it. Projection and longevity, once again, are absolutely killer.

Bonus Armaf Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir
Smell: 6/10
Longevity: 8/10
I got this as I've never smelled Dior Sauvage and wanted to see what it's all about, and this was the easiest clone to get. I liked it at first, but over time I sort of grew out of it. If I had to describe it, it smells purple. Lavender and ambroxan are extremely heavy in the opening and give a chemical reaction, like straight-up smelling some shit from a flask. It takes around an hour to settle down and then it smells somewhat good: a bit of citrus, pepper, that ambroxan and lavender remain. I can see why it's so popular, but I think Armaf did something wrong here, because that opening doesn't smell right at all. If you can get over it, though, it could be a decent daily.

Share ko lang mini collection ko. I'm really new palang pero para need ko na ata mag stop kakabili nito mga perfumes. 6 na sila and baka aabutin pa ng isang taon o mahigit pa before sila maubos. New pick ups ko hawas ice at liquid brun.

Montblanc Explorer - eto dahilan baket ako napasok sa ganito e. Napa amoy ako ng tester at ang bango lakas maka professional ng dating. Woody, masculine at malinis perfect pang everyday na signature mapa office or casual easy grab talaga.

Club de nuit Intense man limited edition - eto napabili ako kase nabasa basa ko kahawig daw to ng montblanc pero mas grabe sa performance. Napaka alpha or masculine, pineapple at bet ko din yung smoky sa drydown. Maganda sya pang date o formal events

Afnan Turathi Blue - eto is parang sabon, mamahlin na sabon and malinis sa feelings. Para kang amoy mayaman na nasa high end na resort. Goods for casual wear din

Rasasi Hawas Ice - Apple na lemon na minty ang pagka fresh. Na iimagine ko mga 25 years old below ganito datingan, youthful kase then matamis din. Goods pang casual o pang beach/pool chuchu. Grabe 3 sprays lang beast mode na

Afnan 9 pm - eto talaga bet ni gf sa lahat. Ewan ko bakit pero para saken matamis sya, parang bubblegum at beastmode din tagal mawala amoy super. Goods pang nightlife kung mahilig ka clubbings.

Liquid Brun - eto is parang chocolate. May vanilla pero naamoy ko talaga parang chocolate. Elegante datingan para kang kakalabas sa mamahaling bakeryhan. Eto pang date to ewan ko kung goods ba tag init pero parang cloying if na overspray din.

My top 3 from this lot -

1. Rayhaan lion - Absolutely in love with this fragrance, thinking of buying a couple of bottles as backup before they reformulate this. Sweet pear, lavender and mint at the top, beautiful vanilla, cinnamon, and some woody accords in the dry down. Lasts for days on clothes. 10/10

2. 9pm rebel - This is what you call a room filler, prominent realistic pineapple note that stays throughout with some woody accords in the background, it could be too sweet for some but I enjoy it. Lasts more than 12 hours easily. 8.5/10

3. Theoreme matrix - This is like a budget friendly version of sce, blend quality is very smooth considering the price. Opens with a burst of black currant, pineapple and bergamot, settles into an intoxicating blend of earthy, floral, woody base. My bottle is fairly matured now and lasts for 10-12 hours. 8/10

If you want a review of any of these, drop a comment.

Very recently dropped, Got mine yesterday for £23 delivered. Shout out SixthScent UK who also included a Risala Elite Fragaby sample.

Anyway, my experiences of Tuxedo go as far as smelling the OG in 2018, then Rochas Moustache, and after that Turathi Brown. To my nose, all three were quite different. Turathi being most distant and super spicy. Rochas being a lighter more barbershop type scent. I have never sniffed the Winsome OG clone from MA.

For full accuracy to the OG Tuxedo L'exclusif, I cannot say as I'm never going to buy it. Onwards then!

Winsome L'exclusif is not what I expected at all. Firstly this has none of the hallmarks of the OG, Turathi or Moustache. This opens Citric + Musky and as it dries down I'm getting doses of Amber along with a Sandalwood backbone. I could've sworn I smelt this profile before, and yea....BDC L'exclusif and Rayhaan Nocturno Elixir. Now my nose may be outta whack here, considering what's been up it and out of it there's a solid chance the signals be less than accurate. But I have the Rayhaan, and this is smelling like it's not far off.

And I will qualify this, it's a second wearing in 24 hours. Maturation yada yada's apply.

But Whutt...I dont know if Maison Alhambra are mugging people off here, or they poured the wrong juice into this batch (which is dated 2nd August 2026). But this is coming off as a Bleu de Chanel L'exclusif clone. I don't want to make a complete tit of myself here by saying it's definitely the case. But yea, 24 hours in....the smells like a BDC L'exlcusif clone. Musky citric ambery and pretty damn nice. A bit lighter and airier than the Rayhaan.

Longevity is 6 hours first spray, Sillage is on the ok side for an hour and gradually gets intimate. Will leave this a month or 2 and revisit it to see if there's been any changes. Peace!

I just noticed I never reviewed my Sublime. It was a blind buy for my wife (it was on sale for $20), but she didn't want it, so I'm using it is a layering fragrance for more manly fragrances I have.

THE PROFILE

While these have the same vibe, they are not that similar. Maybe 70% similar. Both are mostly fruity (plum+lychee mostly), rosy, and the only thing that makes them (IMO) only "almost" unisex is the mossy base. So fruity-floral of what you'll mostly get from them, but not in the "clean laundry" fruity+floral that relies on white florals and citrus fruits. Because this is rose+sweet and tropical fruits.

THE DIFFERENCES

First thing, the PL is MUCH smoother and higher quality than Sublime. Sublime has some type of musk at the base (not in the notes breakdown) that is very low quality. PL doesn't have that, and has that added liquor scent that rounds up and elevates the profile quite a bit.

For men, this will be a super playful casual profile. For women, this could work for pretty much everything.

As they dry down, they get closer to each other, but PL is smoother, more vanillic (even when it's not in the notes breakdown), and rounder.

Subjective Scent Score (should be the least important thing for you): Sublime 7.8. PL 8.3.

Longevity on skin (so, 100% skin scent counts): PL 6-7 hours. Sublime 8-9 hours.

Projection (only above skin count): PL low-medium for 1-2 hours, then skin scent. Sublime medium for 2 hours, skin scent at hour 3-4.

Blind buy safety score: For men, 5.0. Will be too feminine for 50% (at least). For women, 8.0.

Unisex Score (0=100% fem leaning, 5=unisex, 10=100% male leaning): Both 3.0.

Versatility Score: For men, 6.0. spring-summer-fall, but only for casual and playful occasions. For women, 8.5. Same seasons, all occasions.

Blend Quality Score: Sublime 6.0 (significantly below average clone quality). PL 7.4 (above average clone quality).

Value Score (for 100ml): Sublime 7.5. Only $21 on FragranceNet right now, but low quality and average performance. PL 6.5. $30 on Jomashop, for good quality, but slightly below average performance.

Should cost (based on performance, quality, and available competing clones, averaged): Both should be $18-$20. One because of the performance, the other because of the quality.

Bottle design: Sublime 7.5. PL 6.5.

Atomizer Score: PL NA. Sublime 7.0.

Conclusion:

I'm my book, this was an easy win for Paris Corner. But I wouldn't buy that for my wife because of the poor performance.

And as always, don't trust me, Get decants.

OKIIEEEEE DOKIEEEEE. Time for another review no one asked for & quick little rant. To get the bad out first, HAWAS GET YOUR SH!T TOGETHER. WHY DOES MY KOBRA BOX HAVE A QR CODE & MY FIRE BOX DOES NOT, GOODNESS, IS RESEARCHING TO SEE IF YOUR FRAGRANCE IS FAKE A PART OF THE HAWAS EXPERIENCE ? ALSO ON THE KOBRA, WHY IS THE PLASTIC PART NOT ATTACHED TO THE METAL CAP, GET. YOUR. SH!T. TOGETHER.

……. Now Deep breaths……… Here are my thoughts on the actual scents.

- ARMAF ODYSSEY MEGA:

Why did I get this one ? Because it was less than $25 online and I said why not. I’ll just come out and say if your birth year starts with 19 you are too old for this fragrance. That being said, this is the closest clone I have ever put my nose on. This & YSL Y EDP smell very much the same & I do have the same thoughts on YSL as I do Mega. Everything you can complain about this scent, you can complain about YSL EDP, the original has more longevity though. Non offensive shower gel scent, perfect for the gym, errands…..doing homework, fighting with your mom about cleaning your room, going through puberty. (6.4 /10) if I was 15-20 (8.3/10).

-RIFFS SEASONS DRIFT:

So this was my first Riffs & this was another pickup under $25, so again just like my response at my second wedding ceremony, I said eh why not. When these four came in, this one won the coveted new haul scent of the day. At first it was fresh, clean, good woodiness on the dry down… then I let this sit for a week. During that week the woodiness & freshness had a gang war in the bottle. Just like Marlo Stanfield, the woodiness took over all of the corners that used to be ran by the freshness. This turned into a complete new scent from first smell & the L’Exclusif DNA really took over. Now I am getting much more Cedar, sandalwood & musk in the beginning, do I still like this and is it an easy reach ? Yes. Will I layer this if I want more of a woodiness to another scent? Yes(7.8/10)

- HAWAS Kobra :

Once the 5 minutes of confusion concluded & I comprehended I actually had an atomizer, I just had to take off the cap’s internal plastic piece, it was time to test this bad boy. If Imagination is grey goose, Kobra is Everclear. The soap & citrus really smack you in the face, but you know what, a freshie that is not quiet, HELL YEAH BROTHER. Soap, Ginger, Citrus & Tea come on who doesn’t like that. If this and Marwa were farts, Marwa is a baby’s fart & Kobra is Big Al spending 3 hours at an all you can eat buffet. (8.6/10)

-HAWAS Fire

I have had to find inner strength letting this one sit undisturbed quietly in my closet. My goodness this scent just scratches a deep itch of the perfect amount of fruity sweetness. This is Polo Red EDT sweet if you made it aquatic, juicy & gave it some oomf. I am fighting off the urge to crack this one open & drink the bottle. The amber & aquatics are perfect. What’s even better about this….. the layering options, hit this on the body and put Kobra or Seasons Drift before she took off her shapewear on the shirt, I love it. (10/10)

To start, I bought Dynasty a few months ago and it's genuinely been a phenomenal scent experience, the journey as the tea scent evolves, woodiness comes in, masculine spice on the dry down, it's chefs kiss.

As someone who's adored wintery night-time scents that are Oud-heavy and sweet, stepping into the day-time freshness has been a pretty unforgiving journey tbh.

I have Davidoff Cool Water, Nautica Voyage, CK One from gifts and clearances but none of those scents have felt right? Idk what it is but to me there's this heavy aqua/citrus feel to them that I don't enjoy as much, they just feel like gym/household chores scents not quite the Dynasty calibre.

So I wanted to see what reccs you guys might have that have a masculine-leaning combination of woodiness, slight spice, tea, freshness, perhaps even more herbal?

Doesn't necessarily have to be all of those or even any! I wanted to see what y'all like for something that's a little off the beaten path for day time freshness?

Thanks!

Lattafa Asad completely exceeded my expectations. It opens with a bold punch of black pepper and tobacco, smoothly transitioning into a rich, warm blend of vanilla and coffee.

The performance is an absolute beast, easily lasting all day with a luxurious scent trail. It feels sophisticated, performs like a high-end designer fragrance, and is an absolute must-buy.

*this has surpassed my top #1 fragrance (Bal D’Afrique Absolu) which has held that title for roughly 6 months now out of roughly 300 options in my collection*

Scent - 10/10 if you know my reviews this is the first scent I’ve gave a 10/10 too. I honestly thought I never would but this checks off everything in the smell category for my needs.

Opening - instant fresh cotton and airy clean sheet vibes like the most pleasing clean sheets I’ve ever smelt, not soapy, just soft clean cotton to the max

Midway - soft white florals come out that match the scents opening, equivalent to the florals from MYSLF to give you an idea.

Fully Dried Down - white musk, and white woods type of smell comes out as the cotton vibe starts to fade, keeping this a “white” fragrance throughout

Longevity & Projection - 8.3/10
Projects for a good 2 hours, scent bubble gets smaller but still projects lightly for another 3-4. Around hour 6 it becomes a full skin scent. Disappearing around hour 7-8ish

Overall Should You Grab This? - I’d say yes i don’t know anybody who wouldn’t like this honestly, better then the new Nava Sol, better then Bal D’Afrique, this dna is a masterpiece

What's up guys, look what I just found at my local store! Fragcon was this past weekend here in Houston so all the local spots are fully loaded with new drops and this one is one of the most hyped.

Good news is that it is NOT another aventus dupe or twist.

It opens as a fresh, limey citrus kind of imagination type of scent with the lightest musky rose deeep in the background and then takes a full turn towards the darker rose dna. Very nice and different type of scent.

I keep seeing people online saying its Creed wild Vetiver and i would say kind of in the dry down but I feel like its more of a hybrid. Its like imagination meets Creed wild Vetiver or if there was something like a Wild Vetiver Eau Fraiche this is kind of that. Maybe it gets stronger and darker later on as it matures.

Performance doesn't seem great right out the bat, its very light but this is a brand new bottle, hoping it improves. Overall its a clean, classy office safe scent, kind of reminds me of a lime infused version of Ahmed al maghribi Oud Roses.

Overall a great pick up for $50 and a good addition to the collection.

Firstly, I would like to say Adam Bujairami is a force for good. His back story is truly remarkable and he has created something from nothing.

That being said and I am sorry to say it, but I have to come to the conclusion that Bujairami is mostly hype. Americans, I know you are in a pickle having only FragranceNet as the sole company that supplies the US market; I can confidently tell you, you aren't missing out on much. There are better alternatives of dupes and at much better prices.

In the tier ranking of brands for quality they are way behind Al Haramain, Afnan, Rasasi, Swiss Arabian, arabiyat prestige and French Avenue but usually go for the same price if not more.

Armaf and even most Lattafas are better than most Bujairamis. I would rank Bujairami slightly above Maison Alhambra and slighly below Rayhaan.

I think for around $30-40 CAD the prices are fair but at $65 - $80 CAD the prices are not justified and frankly kind of ridiculous. Also it doesn't matter if its an extrait or edp. Thats just marketing anyways.

Pros - no bs packaging, great gradient bottles, pressurized atomisers, usually first to come out with a dupe, huge scent catalogue, usually nails the dna.

Cons - cringe tik tok glaze, cheesy branding, rushed to market, bad quality control, low projection and performance considering the price, poor availability.

All in all everytime i bought a Bujairami i was left disappointed. Maybe the hype didnt meet reality and maybe if they weren't hyped i wouldn't be disappointed. Respect your customer and audience and I am speaking to the influencers too. The fuckery needs to stop you are just tarnishing your reputation long term.

First want to say is I never smelled the original so I can’t say how close is it, but i’ve smelled Vulcan Fue and I’ve enjoyed the smell. I saw this at Burlington for $13 (50Ml) so decided to cop before i commit to a full size bottle of either or. Both on my skin are really similar off the first spray. Nice tropical mango scent with a bit of ginger and floral. I could see this a daily drive as I stay in South FL so it’s always hot. Glad I picked this up for $13.

Which of the two do you prefer?
(Mango Ice or Vulcan Fue)

I would rate this fragrance a solid 8.5/10 😮‍💨
