Its summer, most of us are out of school. Which means parties, beach, clubs, dates whatever. A necessity is smelling good. Heres my favourite way to do that for cheap
What are they?: Fragrance clones are as the name implies. a clone of a certain scent for much cheaper to the original price. Most of us want to buy our favourite designers cologne but dont want to spend 100+. With clones you can get a 300$ fragrence for legit 30$. Very comparable to 'reps' for clothing and sneakers. The only difference being fragrence clones are a bit more confusing to find and sort through, this is because they are sold on separate sites, and on those sites they have different names and each site can have different producers.
Where Do I Get Them?: Theres a million different websites, but here are the best ones
Perfume Parlor List
Reddit list
I have a custom made list as well with high levels of research and testing, but I'm gatekeeping unless you're a real one
In all honesty this is enough info for most of you. The spreadhseets basically do all the work for you.
Finding The Right Scent: The amount of fragrances can be confusing and overwhelming at first, if youre looking to find info on what scents are good for what seasons/ocassions or just to learn about fragrance in general I reccomend
R/Fragrance
https://www.fragrantica.com/ (This will show the smells of each cologne)
www.parfumo.com
Overall dont look too deep, niche fragrances are for geeks. Stick to the classics, have a daily scent, something for going out, something for the winter, and something for the summer and you should be good
Are they Safe?: A common argument or question I see online about dupes are 'muh chinese chemicals just buy the real one' I have been using clones for around two years now and have not expirienced any adverse side effects. As long as buying from a trusted source you should be fine. Either way, we're here to looksmaxx. If you're seriously too scared to buy an off brand fragrence go fuck yourself and click off this site. Your precious designer fragrences are made in the same factory.
I hope you enjoyed this low effort guide, I've never seen anyone talka bout them here, so I decided to make this. PM me if you have questions buying or finding a certain scent and I'll see what I can do.
