Ranking the clones I own

no one really asked for this but i'm bored so why not.

Afnan Supremacy in Heaven:

So let me start off by saying I don't plan on rating these based on accuracy to the original but just based off how they smell, especially when I haven't even smelled the original. I absolutely LOVE this, I didn't really expect my self to like this as much as I do. The tea note is incredible and it's such an easy grab and overspraying isn't necessarily offensive to the people around you. Obviously the bottle design is cool as hell, but the atomizer is not the best but it's not too big of a deal. Performance is pretty good I get around 7 hours on skin and obviously a lot longer on clothes.

Rating: 9.3/10

Radio Hawas Ice:

So many of my friends recommend I get this, and I had the chance to smell all the hawas line in person and this was easily my favorite. It's an incredibly fresh yet very sweet fragrance. It's also kind of an easy stupid grab but I think I can go nose blind when I spray it on myself at times, I usually like spraying this while I'm at the gym. Bottle design also is cool and clean, great atomizer. performance is pretty good but I just feel like at times maybe it's a bit too sweet, like I honestly don't know what the original hawas smells like and I've heard it's even sweeter.

Rating: 8.4/10

Armaf Club De Nuit Iconic

I know I said I wouldn't mention accuracy but I have to talk about it here. I've owned BDC Parfum as one of my first fragrances and smelled the whole line and for some reason BDC EDT is kind of my favorite. Anyways, is this close to the OVERALL scent profile of BDC? yeah I think it's somewhat close. Is it a one to one clone of BDC? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Don't get me wrong I love this, it's slightly fresher and bit more citrus at the beginning than BDC, but overall I really like this and performance is not bad but nothing special. I feel like it's one of those scents that don't really "stand out" but does smell clean and professional. Bottle is slightly heavy for some reason and atomizer is good no complaints. Would've loved the dry down to be a bit better and noticeable.

Rating: 8.3/10

Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice:

Oh boy, ok lets talk about this. I am really really trying to like this I promise, but it's just a bit TOO overwhelming to wear and I feel like 2-3 sprays would be too much and could be kind of offensive to people around me. Is it a good everyday fragrance? Hell no. is it good for a nice warm dinner? yeah. I believe this is supposed to be the clone of YSL la nuit de l'homme the blue one that is discontinued. But just the initial scent of cardamom (which i don't really like in general) can be a bit too much. Having said that I do still wear this occasionally but actually never spray more than 3 sprays. I would NEVER consider wearing this in the summer. Bottle is interesting? they're doing a bit too much with the cap, atomizer is good i guess. I do NOT think this is a bad fragrance whatsoever, just don't think it is for me.

Performance is good too.

Rating: 5.7/10

Would definitely buy again: Afnan Supremacy in Heaven, without a doubt.

Would maybe buy again: CDNI, if my collection doesn't get more diverse then sure. Hawas Ice, probably but wouldn't be too sad if I run out.

Would not buy again: Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice :(

So, anyone have any good recommendations you think I would like :)

(please no ultra fruity scents)

edit: i've been interested in Swiss Arabian Incense 01 but not sure if I would like it.
