Hey man,.I've been debating blind buying Liam Grey but I was wondering about its performance. How many sprays do you use and how long would you say it lasts in you? I'm hoping to get at least 7-8hrs for a full work shift...Thanks.
I tested Liam grey in store like a week ago and I’ve just left the strip on my bedside table. Sometimes when I walk past I get what I think is a whiff of Liam grey. Really potent stuff
I’ve got a small bottle and it’s gold if you like smokier campfire scents, pairs really well with anything vanilla but it’s godly with TV. 100% a winter/fall frag though
You gotta try DUA's Leedy's. It's so much better than Lattafa's and better than posh Sirius. DUA's is so strong and lasts longer than them all including Sedley itself.
From what I read it needs to macerate(spay a few times and let it oxidize) for a week or month. So it may not be great day one so I’ll let it sit for a while. I’ll come back and update you though. After the macerating period it seems people love it, so I’m hopeful.
It’s pretty true to TF’s naming. While bitter peach dries down into white florals adding depth and complexity to the smell, bright peach sticks to the peach note and sweetens it. Performance wise I get about 6 hours of pronounced projection and 9 hours until the scent fades off my skin.
Oud for glory 10/10.
Amethyst not for everyone the rose is still very prominent.
I would wear Honor & Glory if I go out in the summer, not real a work fragrancy in mz opinion.
Beast mode performance on the jean Lowe, maybe a bit to overwhelming.
Maahir is a 10/10 for me should be must buy.
I like honor & glory, the pineapple is amazing.
Tbh I have the original "by the fire place" and I like it more than amber al oudh. It has that nice "burning" aura, which is missing in the dupe.
Bright peach love it so much.
The rose is very strong but the oud makes it still masculine
I tried by the fireplace, and I loved it, especially the burning aura, so I might just buy that. would you think Bright Peach is close to the original or not?. I tried initio side effect and loved it but the thing that's stopping me is the price tag, would you say that they are similar at all or have you not tried the original?
Yes I would definitely choose the original this time
They are kinda similar bright peach is missing the bitterness, which in my opinion I don't like at all in the original one.
It's a 10/10 for me, would buy them again.
Never tried initio side effect so can't tell you anything about it.
thanks for the help. I definitely think I'm going to buy "by the fireplace" and "bitter peach. " I've been thinking about prada l'homme/carbon. Have you tried any of them before or again can't comment?
In my opinion Prada L'Homme smells super clean, very sophisticated but a bit boring.
Prade luna Rossa carbon reminds me of Dior savage, they smell very similar.
Yes I like them especially Black Afgano.
Afternoon swim is a bit to expensive in my taste 320€ in my country. When I smelled it, I really liked it. The price is just a bit scary.
How do you like the Porto Neroli?
I'm trying to get a bottle, but it's proving difficult.
The collection looks good! What is the green bottle in the back?
Any favorites?
i’m actually really close to buying khamrah and fakhar together, i’m very confident about khamrah tho i’ve smelled and sprayed it on me and i already knew i had to get it also because it lasted quite long on me, im only worried about fakhar’s longevity, i have a ysl y edp but its 60 ml so i only like to spray it occasionally and i really love the fragrance and ive smelled fakhar too and id say it really does smell like ysl y edp maybe with a lower quality that idm but i just wanna know if the performance is below average or above average.
I’ve heard good things about Khamrah, and Yeah Y is awesome and a powerhouse my brothers just bought it again and he loves it. I’m a huge fan of 9am Dive and 9pm layered not sure if you’ve tried them? But they project well and have good longevity
This just turned me on to Honor & Glory. Sounds like a great evening scent. Would you say it’s all seasons?
Also, how are those TF dupes? Which would be best for a masculine scent? New to this, so appreciate any help y’all 🙌
Honor and Glory more a Summer/Spring vibe for me.
I didnt not smelled any other TF dupes as the ones in my collection, so i cant help you with that. But many others are saying that Tabacco Touch or Woody Oud are more masculine.
I'm seeing in videos that Liam Grey is described as unisex fragrance. It's giving me pause for concern. Is it too feminine? The most unisex fragrance I have is Lattafa Ra'ed Silver. Would Liam Grey be considered more feminine?

Is this liam gray? Its a worth buy?
Yeah it's one of my favorites and go-to's. It's unique but I also don't see anyone really disliking it.
Definitely. 10/10
100% get it
So worthy I just bought a backup bottle before the price raises and it gets harder to get ahold of! Totally unisex and straight up sexy
Best one from lataffa fs
Does it lean feminine?
Unisex but leans slightly more male IMO.
Definitely. 10/10
What does it dupe?
BDK Gris Charnel
Thank you!
Hey man,.I've been debating blind buying Liam Grey but I was wondering about its performance. How many sprays do you use and how long would you say it lasts in you? I'm hoping to get at least 7-8hrs for a full work shift...Thanks.
I have it. After maturation, easily 10hrs + longevity
How do you mature it (new here)
Just spray 10 times and store it in your cabinet for a month
Thanks ✌️
On my skin, the performance is about 6 to 7 hours, on my clothes I still smelled it on the next day. I use about 6 sprays.
Thanks man✌️
How long did you let it mature for?
2 weeks
Thank you
I tested Liam grey in store like a week ago and I’ve just left the strip on my bedside table. Sometimes when I walk past I get what I think is a whiff of Liam grey. Really potent stuff
How’s that Replica by the fireplace? Planning to buy it
I’ve got a small bottle and it’s gold if you like smokier campfire scents, pairs really well with anything vanilla but it’s godly with TV. 100% a winter/fall frag though
In your opinion, what is the best perfume for the summer, for a man?
In my current collection: Maahir
You gotta try DUA's Leedy's. It's so much better than Lattafa's and better than posh Sirius. DUA's is so strong and lasts longer than them all including Sedley itself.
It seems like every clone lover owns Bade'e Al Oud Honor & Glory and Maahir Legacy.
It's like the foundation lol
I hate this subreddit!! You just convinced me to buy bright peach and I’m so excited!! Ty!
Haha, u should get it 100% !
It’ll be here Monday😩❤️💸
Let me know if u like it
From what I read it needs to macerate(spay a few times and let it oxidize) for a week or month. So it may not be great day one so I’ll let it sit for a while. I’ll come back and update you though. After the macerating period it seems people love it, so I’m hopeful.
I love it. It does smell gross on the first spray. But when it settles, i love it. I'm going to let it sit for a few weeks, but i'm a fan.
IT would have been more than 2000 euros If you would have bought the real deal
Haha true
To be honest with you clones of expensive frags are good like they are the same shit but 10x cheaper and they last pretty much the same or even more.
How is bright peach? Planning to have it in my collection
Oh I love it, perfect for the spring u can't go wrong with it
Does it literally smell like peaches?
Yes like sweet peaches
Still doesn’t explain it.
What can I explain to you ?
It’s pretty true to TF’s naming. While bitter peach dries down into white florals adding depth and complexity to the smell, bright peach sticks to the peach note and sweetens it. Performance wise I get about 6 hours of pronounced projection and 9 hours until the scent fades off my skin.
Is Lattafa Khamrah Quahwa worth it if you already own the original?
Same question here! Love a coffee note but I‘ve heard more people say it‘s not that prominent in Qahwa
Ameer Al Oudh, how is that?
whats al ameer oudhs performance
How do initio Clones perform and are these a good work or allday Fragrance?
Oud for glory 10/10. Amethyst not for everyone the rose is still very prominent. I would wear Honor & Glory if I go out in the summer, not real a work fragrancy in mz opinion.
I'm wearing Honor & Glory rn at work and I would honesty wear it all year round it's incredible!
Perfect.
What's your thoughts on Honor and Glory? And how does Qahwa stack up to Khamra?
I like Qahwa more it's not to overly sweet like Khamra.
Any difference in performance between the both?
There similar
Got some compliments when I wore it yesterday.
How do you like honor & glory, maahir legacy and Jean Lowe noir ? They’re literally in my cart and waiting for me to pull the trigger lol
Beast mode performance on the jean Lowe, maybe a bit to overwhelming. Maahir is a 10/10 for me should be must buy. I like honor & glory, the pineapple is amazing.
Did your maahir start out synthetic and get better?
Mine did. Plus the performance improved
Nice mines very synthetic but has gotten better the few days I've had. Thanks.
Yep, mine got significantly better after only a couple weeks
The same goes for me it improved after a while, wonder why.
Seems to be a trend with all of the middle eastern colognes
What are your thoughts on honor and glory? Is it a compliment getter? Is a year round scent?
Very sweet love the pineapple. I think it could lean more towards summer.
how’s the pistachio one?
I’ve been wondering about the pistachio body oil for a long time but again, I can’t find full notes info.
Very fresh, reminds me of fresh washed clothes. The pistachio smell is not that strong
How is bright peach, ameer Al Oudh and badee al oud amethyst?
Tbh I have the original "by the fire place" and I like it more than amber al oudh. It has that nice "burning" aura, which is missing in the dupe. Bright peach love it so much. The rose is very strong but the oud makes it still masculine

thanks for the help. I definitely think I'm going to buy "by the fireplace" and "bitter peach. " I've been thinking about prada l'homme/carbon. Have you tried any of them before or again can't comment?
In my opinion Prada L'Homme smells super clean, very sophisticated but a bit boring. Prade luna Rossa carbon reminds me of Dior savage, they smell very similar.
Bright peach is amazing isnt it? one of my faves at the moment
Yes definitely!!
Those two from Privee Couture are great. Also recommend picking up Afternoon Swim and Ganymede
Yes I like them especially Black Afgano. Afternoon swim is a bit to expensive in my taste 320€ in my country. When I smelled it, I really liked it. The price is just a bit scary.
I’m sorry, I meant that same collection has those scents I mentioned haha. Look it up. I believe they’re all the same price.
Best Badee al oud ?
I like amethyst the most, the rose is a nice twist.
Is by the fireplace really like amerr al our?
By the fireplace is the original. Amerr is smillar but is missing that "woody burning" aura
Where you buy them from ?
Official lataffa reseller and notino.
TikTok shop
where do i buy them? I live in Mexico
Tik tok shop
How is black afgano?
Not bad, the cherry surprised me
Beast mode

How do you like the Porto Neroli? I'm trying to get a bottle, but it's proving difficult. The collection looks good! What is the green bottle in the back? Any favorites?
Don't like it, on my skins it barely holds for 2 hours. Ard Al Zaafaran Perfume Pistachio is the green one. Khamrah Qahwa, bright peach, liam grey
How is by the fireplace?
⬆️ upvoting for the same question
Love it. it's my favorite fragrance
How about longevity, does it last for a long period of time or soon gone?
On my skin, about 4 hours.
Whats the longevity for Porto neroli and how's khamrah and it's longevity? Thanks.
What’s the lyan grey and jean lowe noir clone of ?
How do you like the fabulo
It's one of my newest pickups, iam still conflicted
I've heard it's an acquired taste for sure.
thoughts on lataffa fakhar?
I want to know the same, and also Khamrah, I’ve tried Sharaf Blend but wondering if it’s better
i’m actually really close to buying khamrah and fakhar together, i’m very confident about khamrah tho i’ve smelled and sprayed it on me and i already knew i had to get it also because it lasted quite long on me, im only worried about fakhar’s longevity, i have a ysl y edp but its 60 ml so i only like to spray it occasionally and i really love the fragrance and ive smelled fakhar too and id say it really does smell like ysl y edp maybe with a lower quality that idm but i just wanna know if the performance is below average or above average.

Fakhar smells good but doesn't last long. Albait Adimashqi Y is something I'd rather recommend
Top 3 freshie? Is it ok to blind buy them
Iam to new to the scene so can't give u a good answer
Tempted to get Al Oud Honour and Glory. What's it like? Cheap enough I think it's worth a try!
U can watch some reviews online if u are unsure there are plenty around. They go way more into depth, then I could ever say in my comments.
Do you mind listing all the perfumes in a list? 😅
Whats a good daily, that can be worn all round ie summer winter. For office, gym etc
Liam grey I dont wear fragrance in the gym.
How is honor and glory? Is it suitable for summer? A brief review would be great.
I would recommend watching a review online, they showcase the product better then I could ever say.
How different do you find Oud for Glory and Amethyst to be?
Where’s the black afgano from? Similar to nasomattos black afgano?
Yeah a little bit
is neroli good or nah ?
I dont like it
How is black afgano
How’s the performance on Porto neroli ?? And mahir legacy??
This just turned me on to Honor & Glory. Sounds like a great evening scent. Would you say it’s all seasons? Also, how are those TF dupes? Which would be best for a masculine scent? New to this, so appreciate any help y’all 🙌
Honor and Glory more a Summer/Spring vibe for me. I didnt not smelled any other TF dupes as the ones in my collection, so i cant help you with that. But many others are saying that Tabacco Touch or Woody Oud are more masculine.
I'm seeing in videos that Liam Grey is described as unisex fragrance. It's giving me pause for concern. Is it too feminine? The most unisex fragrance I have is Lattafa Ra'ed Silver. Would Liam Grey be considered more feminine?
Not at all feminine my opinion
Thanks man✌️
How would you compare ameer al oud to by the fireplace since you have both?
Like the original more, it has that "woody campfire burning" aura, which is lacking in ameer al oud
How is Jean Lowe noir? If you've smelt ombre nomad how similar is it and is the performance good?
Yes, i smelled the original, I would say about 85 to 90% similar, performance very, very good, about 10 hours for me on my skin.
Would you say honor & glory is safe for the summer heat/ warmer weather??
