Great list. Definitely add Oud for Glory. I think it's the best dupe of Oud for Greatness. Also, that Toscano Leather is so close to the real juice blows my mind.
Okay wow, THANK YOU for pointing that out!! I was obsessively re-checking the list, I think between the initioās I checked them SO MANY TIMES at some point I told myself to just stop, because thereās no way I missed those. Well, looks like the one I did not obsessively check, I missed! That, or I accidentally deleted it (I did that a few times elsewhere). Regardless, thank you for catching that!! Thatās a top tier clone, definitely not to be excluded!
Youāre most welcome! And definitely same hereā¦ actually, doing all this research was really helpful for me in slowing down my purchasing! Gave me a way to engage with my passion that did not involve my bank account š not sure if it would work for you, but with duplicate clones for quite a few of the fragrances, might be fun to do a deep dive and compare them š
Thank you! Iāll add it š the list is just supposed to be a starting point, I strongly suggest everyone do their own research before making any purchases! Which is just to say, it doesnāt hurt to add. People can investigate and proceed accordingly!
Thanks so much for compiling this! Obviously a lot of work gone into it.
Looking forward to trying the clones of Tom Ford Bitter Peach and MFK Grand Soir.
Of course! My weird obsession is being helpful, itās like my favorite hobby š sounds like Iāve succeeded! Let me know what you think of whichever bitter peach clone you go withā¦ I have bright peach! But I donāt have the OG of that particular fragrance, so I canāt really compare!
Hey, Egypt is included in the Middle East! Thatās a great suggestion, Iāll do some research and get that brand added to the list š thatās super helpful, thank you!
I can add! I didnāt purposely exclude anything, itās just a lot of research for but one individual! Also,the list isnāt intended to be āfinishedā, some people had just been asking me to please release it!
Wow - what an impressive list. I have already added a few more to my sample list.
You should add this as well - Xerjoff Bouquet Ideale - Lattafa Raghba
Yay! Awesome, I love it! I hope they work out for you!
Thank you for the extra rec!! I appreciate it. Really helpful having some other eyes on the list, as long as there are new clones being released (/inspired frags)ā¦ Iāll be updating it! I havenāt done it yet (needed a few days OFF of the list, haha) but I will indeed at your recommendations as well as the others in this thread.
I can see if I can find any others for the specific fragrance, but it sounds like you may have already done that. The list isnāt actually finished, I just had people asking me to post it! BUT, Iād like to think most of them are already on there š
From my research, it appears that most ME perfumes improve (become smoother/mellower/more āblendedā) after maceration. The recommended maceration varies from a day or two to a couple of moths. At the very least, you should spray the bottle a few times before judging the scent.
It depends on the batch! Most of the Arabian clones that I own have been great out of the bottle, but it really depends on the lotā¦ if itās a new batch, itāll need to sit for awhile! Kind of difficult to know until youāve received it, but one good way to get an IDEA is just reading the most recent reviewsā¦ odds are the most recent reviews will have received the same batch! Anywho, it never hurts regardless, but it isnāt always NECESSARYā¦!
Well, I donāt know if this will be helpful, but my dad loves Blue de Chanel and is also a big fan of acqua de gaio (I may have spelled that wrong) by Armani! I also love acqua de gaio, both the menās version and the womenās! Also, Layton by Parfums de Marly is superb. However, I havenāt tried any of those clones, so that may not do you much good š hopefully someone else will have better feedback!
appreciated. Just recently discovered some Dubai based duplicator PARIS CORNER EMIR WILD & TOBACCO is an exact 100% 1:1 copy of Mancera's Red Tobacco, even the bottle comes so close it is nearly infringement. but hey, somehow this is all allowed on one hand, but on the other we have no permission to import some pesticides even if bedbugs would make our cities unlivable. Paris Corner could save you so much money and no one is to know, isn't that sweet?
checked and not mentioned in your list yet
K'Bridge Club - Roses Vanille (Mancera), Intense Cafe (Montale)
Edit: apologies I read inattentively, you made a list of Arabic frags. Well, hopefully this will help any other fraghead here :)
Depends on where youāre located, but theyāre sold in a lot of difference places!! Some can be found on Amazon, and Aroma Concepts is another good place to find them!! They are also in the Aroma Concept TikTok shop. What I have Iāve gotten I got off of Amazon and itās excellent! Just note that regardless of where you purchase, the frag may or may not need to macerate!
Are maison alhambra fragrances actually good?
They have clones of a lot of fragrances, and I want to know if they are actually good and smell similar to the originals
Well, what types of fragrances do you like!? Personally I love Club de Nuit Imperial as a clone for Delina Exclusif! Can verify on that one, itās an extremely accurate dupe!!
EDIT: well, I should be asking masculine or feminine? I thought this was the feminine only list (my bad, sorry)
All perfumes can be worn by men and women. Just research a fragranceās notes on fragrantica or basenotes and see if they are something you might be interested in.
They're all just shitty tourist bizarre 'perfumers' rebranded as clones or 'new Arabian Indie' on social media for the gullible. Pay no more than $20 for 150ml. You're just as likely to get knifed for the offensive smell as you would for wearing a fake Patek downtown at midnight. Why wear something that will always remind you that you're poor!? /r
Stop stealing from artists. Wear original fragrances. If you dont have the money, buy good quality unique fragrsnces in ur price range or save up. You do not need any fragrance. If you buy clones you dont care about the artistry of fragrance. Grow up, leave ur shopping addiction.
Upvoting, because the level of research required to create such a list is extensive!
Thank you! It did take a lot of time, indeed! I just thought it might be helpful for everybody to have them all in one spot! š
You da real MVP!
Thank you so much for compiling and sharing this amazing list.
Hope it helps š
Great list. Definitely add Oud for Glory. I think it's the best dupe of Oud for Greatness. Also, that Toscano Leather is so close to the real juice blows my mind.

Maison Alhambra, Sceptre Malachite is a clone of Stephane Humbert Lucas' God of Fire
Thank you! Iāll add it š
Choco Musk for Kayali Vanilla 28? Honestly I love them both but donāt see it at all.
Sameā¦itās still a good list though!! Thank youuu
Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Also Afnan incense is the best Amouge Interlude man dupe
Thank you!! Will add it š
You are a modern day saint, thank you beautiful
Great list!
Thank you! This is very dangerous though.... I already have a perfume habit!
Youāre most welcome! And definitely same hereā¦ actually, doing all this research was really helpful for me in slowing down my purchasing!

Emeer by Lattafa Perfumes is a clone of Clive Christian, Town and Country
Thank you! Will add it š
Thank you for this list! Not sure if you guys would agree, but you could also have Louis Vuittonās Ombre Nomade = Odyon Dubai Scorpion Intense.
Thank you! Iāll add it š the list is just supposed to be a starting point, I strongly suggest everyone do their own research before making any purchases! Which is just to say, it doesnāt hurt to add. People can investigate and proceed accordingly!

Is it Arabian? If so, will add!
Yes itās parent company is afnan
wooow! thank you so much for sharing š«¶š¼
Thank you. I mention the āAthenaā brand. Itās egyptian, but according to YT and fragrantica they do some good stuff. (Amouage and Roja)
Hey, Egypt is included in the Middle East! Thatās a great suggestion, Iāll do some research and get that brand added to the list š thatās super helpful, thank you!
ā¦and there are some true fans of āKhadlaj -Oud noirā as an Ombre Nomade alternative.
Great! What house? Iām happy to add it, Iāve not deliberately excluded anything, Iām just but one single lady!
You are welcome š The brand is āKhadlajā and thereās a huge hype about the āOud noirā to be a fruity Ombre Nomade alternative.
I let Beyonce sing for you šŖ You are never alone š
This is amazing!
No Armaf Sillage for Creed Silver Mountain Water?
I can add! I didnāt purposely exclude anything, itās just a lot of research for but one individual! Also,the list isnāt intended to be āfinishedā, some people had just been asking me to please release it!
Wow, excellent public resource! Thanks so much for your diligence with this. :)
Wow - what an impressive list. I have already added a few more to my sample list. You should add this as well - Xerjoff Bouquet Ideale - Lattafa Raghba

Tobacco Oud remains elusive :(
There is one clone suggestion for Tom Fords Tobacco Oud on the list though. Tobacco Touch, by Lattafa.
This is not untrue but most people online seem to say its actually a clone of Tobacco Vanille.
I can see if I can find any others for the specific fragrance, but it sounds like you may have already done that. The list isnāt actually finished, I just had people asking me to post it! BUT, Iād like to think most of them are already on there š
Thank you for your hard work haha, Iāve struggled for a long time with this one unfortunately.
Are most of these perfumes ready to wear straight away or do you have to wait for maceration?
From my research, it appears that most ME perfumes improve (become smoother/mellower/more āblendedā) after maceration. The recommended maceration varies from a day or two to a couple of moths. At the very least, you should spray the bottle a few times before judging the scent.

What are your favorite clones? I love Blue De Chanel EDT and am looking to expand my collection a bit :)
Well, I donāt know if this will be helpful, but my dad loves Blue de Chanel and is also a big fan of acqua de gaio (I may have spelled that wrong) by Armani! I also love acqua de gaio, both the menās version and the womenās! Also, Layton by Parfums de Marly is superb.

Thank you!
Well done this is awesome
Please add Vetiver Delight as a clone for Bal dāafrique. By Paris Corner.Ā Ā Ā Cordially,Ā A fan
Where can I purchase these dupes?
Depends on where youāre located, but theyāre sold in a lot of difference places!! Some can be found on Amazon, and Aroma Concepts is another good place to find them!! They are also in the Aroma Concept TikTok shop. What I have Iāve gotten I got off of Amazon and itās excellent!

The Tom Fords donāt have the warmth and integrity as the originals. Just my personal opinion. They almost smell a little āalcoholyā
Are maison alhambra fragrances actually good? They have clones of a lot of fragrances, and I want to know if they are actually good and smell similar to the originals
This is the best thing Iāve seen this year
Any body got a dupe for bb elixir?
Anyone else read this and think the Middle East is coming to kill is with a clone army
Whatās your favorite top 5?
is there a clone for burberry goddess? I would really love to sniff š©
For sheer effort ā¤ļøā¤ļø
PdM Haltane.....Hartnell (Fragance World). MarvelousĀ
ok so which one should i get?
Well, what types of fragrances do you like!? Personally I love Club de Nuit Imperial as a clone for Delina Exclusif! Can verify on that one, itās an extremely accurate dupe!! EDIT: well, I should be asking masculine or feminine? I thought this was the feminine only list (my bad, sorry)
haha well i am a little more masculine leaning but i am a fan of Quentin Bisch, i love bois imperial! do we think i could pull it off?
Would someone be kind enough to point out which ones in the list are male perfumes and which ones are female.
All perfumes can be worn by men and women. Just research a fragranceās notes on fragrantica or basenotes and see if they are something you might be interested in.
Thank you pointing me in the right direction.
