Asad Elixir IMO a much better take on the Boss Bottled Absolu DNA.

By comparison Asad Elixir was completely smooth the whole way through and was a much better interpretation of Boss Bottled Absolu to my nose.

Ones I also love that you don't appear to have: Orientica XO Bleu (Layton clone, amazing!, same thing as Al Haramain Exclusif Bleu) and Asad Elixir (Boss Bottled Absolu clone).

Asad Elixir is pretty close to Boss Bottled Absolu, but with a twist making it a bit more versatile.

After maturation, Asad Elixir is like a watered down version of Boss Bottled Absolu.

Look everyone’s nose if gonna be different, and Asad Elixir has similar notes but if you smelled them side by side you wouldn’t say they were that similar.

Asad elixir is a fresher take on boss bottled absolu, supposedly Ted Lapidus noir intense is a better dupe but I haven't tried it yet
