Funny clone fragrances! "Our Version of.

[maxman]

We've all seen those fragrances at the discount stores that have similar names and bottles to the real thing.
Some of them are quite funny.
So if anyone is wondering how to save money on CREED Himalaya, you could look at:
GREET Mountain


Here's some other ones I found:
Subgari (Bvlgari for men)
GK One Shock (CK Shock)
Temperature (Farenheit)
Serenity (CK Eternity)
Jump! (Joop!)

Oh the list goes on and on.
Just google Cheap Cologne or look at 10dollarmall.com for lots more examples.

It's worth the laugh.

When I was at the mall the other day, I saw a bottle of "Celsius" on sale at one of the frag kiosks. Even the bottle was a Fahrenheit clone.

10dollarmall.com is hilarious....'ALLIGATOR' cologne!
TEMPERATURE instead of Fahrenheit
717 MEN instead of 212 MEN

I wonder if any are even good? I've heard some (like the Cool Water ones) are pretty much spot on, but the ones that aren't synthetic are difficult. The Dollar Tree has quite a selection of fakes, and Polo Black is decent (it smells like After Hours Old Spice).

I sampled a clone the other day- "an impression of Polo (green)". It left me with a very bad impression, indeed.

that's because Polo green smells bad!

I actually like it for the most part. Sometimes it can be a bit too abrasive on me, though.

Polo Green is amazing juice, but you have to watch the trigger and wait for the dry down. It just has a bad reputation from overuse during a certain past decade or two and conjures bad memories of misspent youths! But to Dennard's point - I also tried the Classic Match knock-off of it and was nauseated. Classic Match did ok with their Drakkar imitation, but the Polo just isn't anywhere near the same league as the original.

All these clone scents are junk.
To inexperienced and even to moderately experienced noses, some may seem close to the original - even in a side by side comparison.

I remember having a copy of Eternity that I thought was extremely close to the original. I asked the fragrance expert on my office floor to blind smell some I'd sprayed on a piece of paper - he immediately said "Crap copy of Eternity".

Remember women have better noses for smelling out rubbish, save your $2 and don't contemplate any of these. Any genuine designer scent that you pick up cheap for $10 to $20 from the sale bargain bin will smell better on your than these ones.

The few I tried unfortunately smelled like cheap imitations, but fortunately were very fleeting in longevity.

I have the Classic Match version of Polo. Base Notes had recommended it as a good quality cheapie, with the caveat that it smells nothing like the actual Polo. I actually quite enjoy it, however, it is incredibly strong, with a boatload of longevity.

The one I tried wasn't even the classic match version. It was more no-name than that. Like you, I have found the classic match line to be not so bad.

I picked up a bottle of jordache/ Pacco Rabbane for men yesterday at dollar tree. It smelled best of the bunch. Not bad out of the bottle, longevity isn't bad, but smells kinda cheap. Oh wait, it was $1.00. Maybe Ill put some on to mow the lawn or rake leaves.

I wear better scents than any Jordache rubbish when I mow the lawn.
You only live once, there's no good reason to ever wear anything that bad (and I've smelled 7 or 8 Jordache waste of monies)

Duck before The Nid comes swinging!

The Bod is actually pretty decent, smells almost exactly like Aqua Velva Ice Sport.

AV Ice Sport smells like Cool Water, which smells quite a bit like Creed's Green Irish Tweed.

So what you're saying is that Bod smells like Creed GIT.
