Yusuf Bhai Most Wanted Clone Is Near Identical
I bought Azzaro Most Wanted last year. I like the perfume. My main issue was Most Wanted doesn't last on my skin. Friend of mine got the clone from Yusuf Bhai. Every single purchase I've had from YB last till day 2 on clothes. I tested clone and OG on skin. Soon I took a shower. YB clone lasted even after the shower. So I expect 4X longevity over Most Wanted based on the performance of other purchases. Opening: Not the same. Maybe 75% similar. But keeps getting better towards dry down. After 30 mins: It's so close on my skin. I don't think I'd be able to tell them apart on air. Cost: $20 I'm blown away to say the least. It's an IFRA complaint clone.
What's some of your Full Bottle Conversion Criteria?
I was about to make this a SOTD post, butt changed my mind as this question popped into my head. I know we all have and are still building collections. We all start out and are in different places in this journey. But I noticed how my FBW criteria has changed since I started and was curious about the other brothers. When I first started, I would hear about a scent, if I smelled it and liked it in the store it was an immediate bottle purchase not wear testing, not sample grabbing just straight to the bottle. Over time I have become a bit more discerning, now don't get me wrong I have still bought a couple of bottles by falling victim to the shopping excitement, but I have been lucky enough to still be happy with those. Now I am at the point that I will wear my samples a few times before I make a decision to add it to the FBW list. Because of the relationships at the stores I have made I have a crazy amount of samples to go through and I am doing that lately and just doing my samples that were either given to me by the salespeople or by my family at Christmas. and making some decisions. I'm wearing BTV - Hasu today. Now I know that Boadicea is a polarizing house. You either love it or hate it and most of the hate I have read online comes from pricing. I had worn this one a few months back and thought hmmm 🤔. this is nice, I'll have to revisit it. I chose it for today and both of my harshest critics gave me compliments. My wife and my book keeper both of whom never hold back (even when I think they should 😜). So this one will be added to the FB conversion list. So let me know. 1) What is your criteria to convert to a full bottle? 2) do compliments play a roll in your decision? Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!!

1. I need to test a decant or a clone. I need to wear and get the full experience of the perfume. Very rarely I go for a full bottle. 2. Compliments make me prioritize what to wear after I've selected my favorites. It doesn't influence the purchasing decision by a significant margin.
Do you smell Versace Eros and Dior Sauvage everywhere that you go?
Although Versace Eros and Dior Sauvage are I wear the most and I am sure a lot of guys you wear them too. When I am not wearing any of them and I still smell the heavy ambroxan that I go and that smell must be either Versace Eros or Dior Sauvage. Do you smell them even though that you are not wearing them?

No because most people don't wear anything where I live.
Dior Homme Parfum (2014) Is Incredible
Got myself a decant. It's in my top 3 designers right now. I'm new to perfumes. I only have few dozen bottles. I've smelled close to 100 perfumes. Dior Homme Parfum (2014) is one of the best experiences I've had. Personal experience: - Not animalic despite what Fragrantica say - Strong projection and good longevity - 3 - 5 sprays is more than enough - Smells like a niche unisex instead of a hyper-masculine - Best leather fragrance I've had - Leather is not too prominent as in Forever Wanted Elixer Maybe the scent changed after sitting in the bottle for a while. My 1st experience is a bit different from other reviewers. One thing I agree for sure is DHP is an absolute masterpiece. I seriously want to see an accurate clone of this.

@Edgar Mertins I just hope for a good clone from a Middle Eastern house.

@Jon Jacobs Check around decant providers. They might have some old stock left.
Do some clones last way longer than the original super expansive fragrances?
In my opinion, Club De Nuit Intense Man last longer than the original Creed Aventus, I do think Antonio was right on it and I agreed with him. What are the clones that you have? Some original performs better and some clones better.

I have never found a clone that lasted less than the original. I don't think a clone that last less is possible outside of oud perfumes. Middle East has some amazing fragrance culture. Had the best prices from https://yusufbhaifragrances.com/collections/recreations
