 Very high quality, that dark, sweet, delicious spiciness. Hey what's up guys, it's Josh Kitt. Today I want to do a little review on these two clones of Parfumus de Marley Harrod. Just recently did a full week of wearing Harrod. I've always liked Harrod. Harrod's been one of my go-to favorites as far as niche fragrances. Harrod's one of those fragrances that is somewhat popular, like it's decently popular, but I think most companies will copy tobacco veneer a little bit before Harrod. I think tobacco veneer is a little bit more famous than Harrod too, so not an overly abundance of Harrod clones out there. The two Harrod clones I have today are the Greek Hero by Sensual Obsessions and Babylon Fregresses Black. Now, both these fragrances are very, very solid, but I really don't think either one of these are either like 95% or even 90% similar to Harrod. I do think these have noticeable differences. I would say that certain clones kind of seem like 95%. These kind of seem like 85% to 90% there. And I like both of these enough to pick up a sample of this one and a bottle of this one. I really do like what they got going here. I really do like Harrod as well. So let's start off with Babylon Fregresses Black, kind of comparing it to Harrod. What do I notice? This is real Josh TV, so I'm going to keep it real. I do notice a difference here. I would say this is 85% to 90% similar. It still has a lot of the same characteristics of Harrod. It is that darker, spicy, sweet fragrance that has a little bit of the extra oomph that Harrod has compared to other dark, sweet fragrances. I could see how they were trying to copy this. From memory, this smelled very, very close. It was only because I just did the seven days of Parfums de Marley Harrod that I really did notice a difference. But when I first smelled this, and I thought it smelled very close to the original. This in my opinion has the same or above average projection compared to the original Harrod. I would give Harrod probably a solid eight out of 10. Certain times it seems stronger than eight out of 10. Certain times it seems weaker. This seems to be about the same, maybe a tad bit stronger, but definitely was very noticeable and very good, well above average projection. This is closer to like the CH-Men style smell or a CH-Men pre-vay. It has the similar dark, sweet vibe. I did think that Harrod and CH-Men pre-vay had some similarities, but this almost seems a little bit more closer to that. And I would say that's probably because there's a little bit less ice-wea super in here. Every time that ice-wea super is in a fragrance, it kind of has this morphing smell. Sometimes it'll smell like the best thing you ever smell. Sometimes it'll just smell off. I don't really get much of a morphing smell with this one. It's kind of just straight down the middle, but sometimes that's actually pretty good. And I actually really, really do enjoy this because I like those dark, sweet, spicy scents like this one right here. Dark, sweet, delicious style fragrance. Same or above average projection. That's kind of how I go with it. Babylon fragrance is black. Really enjoy this one. Central Obsessions, the Greek hero. Now this is in his private line, so this is going to be a little bit more money than the normal other Central Obsessions. I was kind of caught off guard when I was retesting this one because when I first smelled this, I thought this was so close to Herod. And I thought it might even be closer than Babylon fragrance is black. Probably about 85 to 90% similar. I smell a backbone of a traditional style fragrance. And to me, when I smell Herod, it's got its own unique smell. It doesn't really seem like it's using the really classic notes like lavender or just having a classic clone smell. It doesn't have any of that. This, I get kind of like a base of a classic clone style smell. And I also seem to get, seems to be like a little bit of lemon in the top note. And I don't really get lemon in the other two. But besides that, it's very, very good. Very delicious. It was kind of taking a while for it to smell 100% like Herod. But in my most recent wearing, I definitely did smell that Herod vibe. This one is a little bit more transparent. I would say this is probably a tiny bit less as far as projection, but still not bad, still good. Probably even above average as far as projection. But I just wouldn't say it's as high as black or it's around the same as Herod. I feel like just a tiny bit less, I'd probably give us like a 7.5 out of 10 for projection longevity. But this is a little bit more transparent. So it is kind of trying to be a little bit more of a transparent scent, which Herod has and black did not have that transparency. But overall, very, very solid scent. Both these are very, very solid. If I had to pick one, I would go with Babylon fragrances black just in this particular comparison. I do think as far as central obsessions goes and then their private blend, I absolutely love their Have a Good Night and their Three Rivers. They highly recommend those just because I'm picking Babylon fragrances for this one. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't pick it over the other ones. Like I said, if this was against the best central obsessions, I probably would pick the best central obsessions. Their Three Rivers and their Have a Good Night would probably beat this one. Barely even though I actually really do like this one, I don't want you to like feel like I'm knocking down central obsessions. Mostly everything that they do is very, very good. And I still do really enjoy this one. One thing to keep in mind with Babylon fragrances black is again, it's not 100% like Herod. So if you're somebody who's like, man, if I could get Herod, the exact same thing in a cheaper bottle, not really what you're getting here. Although it smells very good. It has very high quality, that dark, sweet, delicious spiciness. If you like that kind of smell, I like that kind of smell. It's in here. It just, there's a little bit of special Herod-ness that is for sure gone, but at the same time, I really do enjoy it. So I had to give both these guys a good comparison. I probably wore in these both for about a week on and off because I wore the Parfumus de Marley Herod and I've kind of been wearing these non-stop until I've done this review. So let me know what's your favorite tobacco style fragrances. Let me know what your favorite Herod clone is. Is there another Herod clone besides these two that I should check out? I'll be very interested to see down below. Anyways, guys, we're on the road of 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of you guys's help. You guys are the absolute best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully I'm having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
