What Reddit owners say
2/5“So far, the only ones that I just couldn't stand have been Toy Boy and PDM Kalan.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Value“Herod, Kalan, Haltane, Oajan, Godolphin, and Galloway are the scents I would say no clone has been able to successfully replicate for cheap. I'm unsure of Perseus but I haven't heard of a great Perseus clone so I'll throw that in this category too.”
