Hi Wetshavers,

I am forming a list of fragrances that many people love. All of these fragrances are normally $250 per bottle from reputable retailers, but with a twist. I am going to give you my personal favorite clones of expensive EdT's EdP's and EdC's. Long before I became a Wetshaver, I was a Fragrance Fiend. I have personally used about 70% of these clones, and their expensive counterparts and I will tell you that they all are 90% or more clones. The following fragrances can be found for $40 or less, while their name-brand counterparts cost upwards of $300 for the same amount.

Creed Aventus- Reyane Insurrection pure II (I have used this, and insurrection is a tad bit sweeter), Fine Accoutrements Platinum, L'Aventure from Al Haramain

Creed GIT- Armaf Tres Nuit (I cannot tell a difference at all between the two)

Creed Himalaya- Armaf Voyage Bleu (Himalaya tends to last about 2 hours longer)

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather- Armaf Italiano Uomo (I have not used this, but Armaf makes great clones)

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille- West Third Brand Tobacco 1812 (TF is a bit darker (more tobacco))

Bleu de Chanel- Armaf Tag Him (can't tell a difference)

Drakkar Noir- Lomani, or Cabaret Rakkar (Cabaret last's longer than Lomani) 95% match on both

Tom Ford Noir De Noir- Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Women (unisex scent, not my jam) 90% match

Burberry London- Cuba Red (Have only tried Burberry once, can't give good comparison)

Ralph Lauren Polo Green- Cuba Green (Only one that's not close 85% match, still good Frag), Halston Z-14

Ralph Lauran Polo Blue- Cuba New York for Him (decent match 90%)

Lacoste Pour Homme- Cuba Miami For Him (I hate this scent on both ends, 90% match)

Mont Blanc Legend, Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce- Armaf Edition One (95% match)

Amouage Interlude- Armaf Craze (90% match)

Terre d'Hermes- Franck Olivier Black Touch (85%, More spice, less citrus)

Tom Ford Neroli- 4711 by Mäurer & Wirtz (100% match doesn't last as long)

I know it kind of sounds like a shill post for Armaf, but these guys make Affordable fragrances for the little guy. There is no way in hell that we can afford 3-4 $400 bottles of Cologne for a decent rotation. I am in no way affiliated with Armaf, or Cuba. I am just another working class guy that likes to smell good, but doesn't want to break the bank doing it. If there are anymore fragrances out there that you have personally tried, as well as there clone I will add them to the list. Thanks for reading!

Edit: adding as we go
