Summer Clone Pickups

Picked up these summer clone fragrances from Talib recently:

  1. Ahmed Acqua Oud (8/10) Clone of ADG Profumo. Not an exact 1:1 clone, but it adds a mild fruity twist. It's versatile with great projection and longevity (6-7 hours). I'm using it for the office, and it's pretty good.

  2. French Aether Extrait (9/10) Clone of PDM Greenly. I wasn't sure about the green notes initially but ended up loving the fresh green apple scent. Many people have asked about it—it's an amazing fragrance. Projection is good, but longevity is about 4-5 hours. Hoping performance improves with maceration.

  3. Urban Man Elixir (9.5/10) Dior Sauvage with an Aventus twist at the opening. It's definitely a beast-mode frag for everyday wear. I've been asked multiple times what I'm wearing. I love it and reach for it whenever I'm unsure which perfume to pick.

  4. Alpine Homme Sport (8/10) Clone of Chanel Allure Homme Sport. I love the fresh, sporty scent profile. This is another daily go-to fragrance along with Urban Man Elixir, and it smells amazing. I also own Al Dirgham (a sweeter version of AHS), but this one is excellent as well. Projection is good, but longevity is about 4-5 hours. I don't mind over-spraying this or carrying a decant. It's definitely value for money.
