Maison Margiela By The Fireplace

I absolutely love the fruitiness and balance of this Zoha fragrance. I am so glad I bout this one. I have gotten this and at least 5 other clones from both middle eastern brands and North American micro perfume/clone houses. This one is awesome. I just popped for a 5ml sample of the OG just so I can make a true comparison.

This is a great version of By Kilians Apple Brandy. I waited to review because I wanted to smell the original to compare it to this, and the performance for me was very similar, with this oil based version winning since the oil lasts longer. For a perfume oil, this has solid projection.

I got around 3 hours of moderate projection, and around 4 hours of it being a skin scent where I could still pick it up. This version is better when comparing it to the original, which was gone from my skin by the ~5 to 6 hour mark.

Why I like this one so much though, is because I compared this take on another take that was an alcohol-based fragrance. That one I am still trying to enjoy, because they put too much emphasis on the sweet and boozy accords of the original, where that one is very syrupy and cloying for the first half of the wear and then becomes slightly less enjoyable than Zoha’s version in the dry down.

Zoha’s version nails the scent profile, where it’s sweet and boozy, but is a smooth combination of the two, giving a casual yet sophisticated vibe. This oil can be dressed up and down, is very versatile, but I would be careful when using in hotter weather, as it can get to be cloying. For hot weather, wear only in the evenings as the hot summer days will make this one too much. Otherwise, this can be worn all throughout spring, fall, and winter.

Overall, this is better than other takes of By Kilian Apple Brandy, even slightly beating the original in performance, and not drying down as quickly.

Highly recommend it, as well as the fact the Zoha Aroma allows you to sample it as part of their sample pack for a great price!

The two fragrances I purchased are all the rage in my household— I have received multiple compliments from people— you won’t be disappointed— give these guys a try today

Barbershop frag with lots of complexity - In a great way. Green, sweet, powdery, spicy. Can be a signature scent that works in all occasions and seasons. This is a winner!

Well I must say that I am loving this cologne— it last along time on skin and the next day on clothes — I also purchased the EPITOME cologne which has become my go to for the winter season—I have only had this for about a week and I have had three different people compliment me on how good I smell

I added this to the sample pack because the internet hype over A&F Fierce and heard Percival was similar in notes. This one turned out to be my favourite of the 6 pack sample by a pretty good margin. Knowing that this one was good I had to see what A&F Fierce was really like so I blind bought a 30ml off the official website and tested it out. By surprise both my wife and myself prefer Musc De Lavande more than A&F Fierce which is great because Zoha's version is cheaper. Fierce I find leans heavy on the freshie, driftwood and uses a different musk compared to Musc De Lavande. A noticiable difference is that Musc De Lavande is has more Lavender and more pleasant musk with the driftwood, white, mariny stuff more playing the background instead of taking center stage like Fierce. I also find Fierce to be a bit more screetchy, sythenthic and mid quality where Musc De Lavande seems more well blended and almost more nautral (pretty sure its not) and less harshy even though the projection is toned down a bit. Fierce in my personal opinion seems to be a mid teir fragrance for 12-30 year olds while Musc De Lavande seems more suited for 16 - 100+ I find Musc De Lavande more versatile and suited for almost every age (maybe not young teenagers only my opinion) but I highly recommend this stuff and you'd be passing up a great fragrance if you at very least don't get a sample of it. This will be my next full bottle purchase when I make my next order.

Great interpretation of Sedley. This a fresh and clean scent with some spice added in. It is very easy to wear and to like. My favorite from Parfums de Marly.

My girlfriend absolutely loves this fragrance. The success of Angel Share is no surprise... it's an amazing fragrance. Very close to the original and at a fraction of the price. Blind buy safe!

Great interpretation of Royal Oud. This one is a classic that can be worn all year round and for all genders. No justification for spending hundreds more for the original when you have this much quality at a fraction of the price. Royal Oud is one of the greatest of all time and the drydown is simply intoxicating. A must try!

This is beautiful and classic fragrance that combines tobacco, honey and lavender to perfection. It can be worn by any age or gender. It is very easy to wear and won't offend anyone. Great job Zoha!

I had to keep smelling this for a few days and finally I get it. Tobacolor went 360 with the Tobacco craze and added white tobacco, plum, smoke, peach and citrus. This is a 25yrs + perfume when you are ready to graduate from the Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille crowd. This definitely date night approved as it is dark, green and mysterious. The Honey stands out but not too much as it makes room for other notes. Great composition and pristine quality. Try mixing this with a dab of Zoha's Royale sugared Patchouli..:}

Zoha strikes again with a spot on inspiration with crisp, clear notes with excellent performance, projection and sillage! Exceptional craftsmanship with this batch. Very strong so you know its great quality. Mix this with the perfume and watch it dominate everything. I will be ordering a 12ml back up bottle.

**Zoha's new perfume oil releases have been STRONG....Me like this!

I've tried a number of PJ clones, and this one and Insider Parfums Plum Harajuku are the closest. While these 2 are both extremely close to the OG, there are a few slight differences. In PH, I get more of the oud and animalic nature in the background, whereas I get more woods and a slightly brighter/fresher opening in Wild Plum. Performance is great in both PH and WP, but IMO, while PH might be ever so slightly accurate to the OG DNA, I actually prefer Wild Plum to both PH and the OG, as it's slightly less harsh and more wearable. Add to that the price per ml of Wild Plum versus PH at more than double the price and this is easily the best PJ clone on the market today, at least that I'm aware of. The Alexandria Fragrance clone of it, Forbidden Plum, is decent as well, but again, it's notably more expensive per ml than WP. IMO, either spend the money and get a bottle of the OG, or save a ton of money and just get this.

Just wow. What a gorgeous fragrance. 10/10. Definitely Unisex, get a sample of the OG. Saw they had an oil here and when I say this is imperceptible from the inspiration, I mean it. It’s blended BEAUTIFULLY. I can’t stress enough How impressed I am with ZohaAroma. Their Midnight in Paris, and Plum Japonais inspirations are just unreal too.

Please PLEASE just try it and you won’t be disappointed at all. Wow wow wow

This is >95% a match to the real thing. I sprayed the real one from the mall and this on opposite arms and they are virtually identical. I would say the downside is that is gets weaker as the day goes on but the real dies down as well. I would say it’s worth the price and you can always re-apply.
