I have been diving into these Clone Houses, such as Afnan, Armaf, Masion Alhambra, and Fragrance World. All I can say is these Clone Houses do a very good Job. My latest purchases have been, Masion Alhambra Immortel, Lattafa Najdia, Lattafa Suqraat, Armaf Le Parfait Pour Homme and Armaf Craze, Armaf Tag--Him Prestige Edition. Everyone has been hyping the Masion Alhambra Immortel, and I wore it for the first time, and got compliments. My other purchases are good as well.
A great clone of One Million Lucky that gets no love and never seen anyone review it , is Bhara Dynamic Pour Homme . This one is a steal at somewhere around $30 , and if you want the One Million Lucky DNA , and on a budget, this is the one you need . A true hidden gem !!

Dumont has figured out that everything mixes well with BR540 and/or Creed DNA. I was gifted Dumont inspiritu pour Homme a very interesting hybrid of Creed Silver mountain water and BR540, very good quality and performance.

A fantastic Megamare clone that comes closest then the other clones out there at the moment imo., is Atlas from Lattafa . A great value at around $40 , and performs very well for a summer freshie .

I have several of the Alhambra TFs and have sampled the Oud Wood and Neroli Portofino OGs. Those two are close enough for me and all of them are good enough on their own merits I can easily skip on the $3000ish it would take to own the OGs.
3:04 Ah yes… from Emporio Harmony lol Man, Fragranceworld is just daring them to sue
Have you tried Emeer by Lattafa? It’s a a clone of Town & Country by Clive Christian.
Everyone talks about Jean Lowe Immortal , but a better L’immensite clone that is a bit closer to the Louis Vuitton and performs longer is L’infinite from Fragrance World . The hyped fragrance is not always the better one !

Limited distribution. Very accurate to older OG formulations. Very cheap. It has performance issues, though. Maturation doesn't help much. Stick to Camarro or Kayaan. Cheers.
