Gentlemen Only Clones

"### Notes & Nuances Vitesse hits with a peppery tang, shadowed by a green citrus that's less juicy mandarin, more slightly bitter peel. Birch leaf gives a fleeting freshness, but the synthetic edge is apparent here. Gentleman Only's smooth opening is only about 90% replicated; Vitesse is sharper, less blended. The heart leans heavily on dry cedar and a clean vetiver. Patchouli adds an earthy depth. It's a respectable accord, mirroring the original's woody elegance but without the same level of refinement. Drydown is where it shines – a smoky incense softens against a clean musk. It's a comforting end, almost identical to the original's base. ### Performance Reality Check Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a personal bubble of scent. After that, it settles close to the skin. Longevity is decent; I get about 5-6 hours on skin, maybe 7-8 on clothing. It won't fill a room, but it will leave a subtle trail. ### Is it Worth It? Vitesse is for the guy who appreciates the suave, modern woodiness of Gentlemen Only but doesn't want to break the bank. It's a competent clone, achieving a similar vibe . The opening betrays its budget, but the drydown is surprisingly good. If you're seeking an everyday, office-friendly fragrance with a sophisticated edge, Vitesse gets the job done."
