What Reddit owners say
5/5“It's JPG ultra male? I think. It's the best clone maybe ever in my book. And I'm getting rid of most clones I have and that'll be a special staple”
1/5“I absolutely do idk why they get a lot of hate i finished ultra male and repurchased it”
4/5“No it is really damn good !!!! I have already used same dna ( jpg ultra male) middle eastern perfume before got lot complements especially Girls!!! But Caution About number of sprays !!!!”
5/5 Value“Lion is one of the only 10/10 fragrances in my collection, are you sure your decant is mature? Try to look at it on its own as well, not just strictly compared to Ultra Male. Ahmed al Magribi and Anfar are clone houses that are designer quality from my experience. I have 4 Anfar fragrances, and all of them perform great, smell great, and are designer quality. My favorite from them is Odyssee III. I have heard good things about Bujairami and Montagne, but those are hard to get in the EU for a normal price.”
5/5“Layered this today with Ultra Male. Beautiful combination. TMW Parfum is probably my favorite out of everything I have. My nose loves those notes.”

5/5“What's wrong with ultra male? I most of my collection is niche, I am older, but still love ultra male. It's what got me hooked on fragrances.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have both, I'd say Ultra Male fits what you are after more as I would say it's sweeter but it is very aromatic.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“That's the only thing that keeps stopping me to get this, as I have OG ultra male, but ig it's discontinued or has less availability nowadays. So I use it very frugally.”
