Yeah… clones are everywhere right now—but let’s be real for a second:
Are they actually better than the original? Or just close enough that people convince themselves they are?
Because I’m in the same boat—I have more clones than originals. Not because I’m obsessed with clones, but because every single fragrance that drops now has 10 “inspired by” versions right behind it.
And the truth is… most clones do a really good job at copying the idea of a fragrance—but not always the full experience.
A lot of people in the fragrance community say clones can come off more synthetic, less smooth, and sometimes miss the depth of the original—especially in the dry down. ([Reddit][1])
But at the same time, there are definitely cases where clones perform just as well—or even last longer than the original. ([Reddit][2])
So it’s not black and white.
Some clones are trash.
Some are 90–95% close.
And a *very small percentage*… actually replace the original.
That’s what today’s video is about.
We’re not talking about “this smells similar” or “this is a cheaper alternative.”
We’re talking about clones that:
• Smell nearly identical
• Perform just as good (or better)
• And make you question why you’d ever buy the original
These are the ones that completely replace the OG.
If you’re trying to build a collection, save money, or just want the best value—this is where clones actually make sense.
Let’s get into it.
