Atomic Rose Clones

"### How it Smells Athoor Al Alam Al Zahra Aswad opens with a bright, peppery lift. The bergamot is fleeting, primarily serving to amplify the pink pepper’s sharpness. Hedione imparts a noticeable airy, almost metallic quality – a common trait in rose-centric fragrances seeking lift. The heart is where the purported rose trio attempts to mimic Atomic Rose. Bulgarian and Turkish rose are present, but lack the depth and velvety texture of the original. There is a synthetic edge here, a slightly raspy quality where Atomic Rose is smooth. Jasmine is present, yet plays a supporting role. The drydown attempts vanilla and amber, resulting in a sweet, slightly powdery finish. The vanilla is more vanillin-esque than a true Madagascar extract. It achieves about 81% similarity to Atomic Rose, missing the textural richness and the seamless blending. ### Conclusion A solid effort for a clone. If you crave the Atomic Rose DNA but balk at the price, Athoor Al Alam Al Zahra Aswad provides a reasonable facsimile. The original possesses a higher level of refinement, no question. However, for approximately 1/10th of the price, this clone delivers a respectable rendition. ### The Performance Stats The projection is moderate for the first two hours, creating a noticeable scent bubble. It quickly retracts closer to the skin after that. Longevity is decent, hovering around 6-7 hours on my skin. Reapplication is advisable for a full workday."

"### Is it Worth It? If you want the Atomic Rose vibe without the atomic price tag, Infini Rose is a worthy contender. It captures the essence: a bold, unapologetic rose that isn’t shy. The slight sweetness makes it more approachable, perhaps. The person wearing this commands attention, has inherent confidence, and maybe enjoys a little drama. Infini Rose offers a similar impact . Buy it. ### How it Smells Infini Rose punches you awake. Pink pepper and bergamot crash into a wall of rose. Two very distinct rose types are present, giving it some depth. The jasmine lurks, adding a fleshy sweetness. Compared to Atomic Rose, this is *close* – maybe 90% there. The original has a sharper, almost metallic zing that's missing. This leans slightly sweeter, thanks to a more prominent vanilla in the dry down. It's missing some of the atomic force of Initio, but does a solid job. There's a *slight* synthetic edge, particularly in the opening, but it smooths out quickly. ### Performance Reality Check Lasts a respectable 6-7 hours on my skin. Projects well for the first 2 hours, creating a noticeable bubble. It becomes a skin scent after about 4 hours. Solid performance ."

"### To Buy or Not to Buy? If you crave Atomic Rose but can't justify the price, Amethyst is a solid alternative. It captures the essence of the original . However, don't expect a perfect replica. This is for the budget-conscious fragrance lover who wants to project confidence and romantic energy. But for everyday wear, Amethyst delivers a similar mood. ### The Scent Profile Amethyst opens with a fizzy pink pepper, bright but not sharp. There's a citrusy lift from the bergamot, quickly swept away by the incoming rose. It aims for Atomic Rose's nuclear bloom, and gets pretty close, maybe 90%. The Bulgarian and Turkish roses are definitely present, giving a jammy, slightly powdery feel. However, this lacks the hyper-realistic, almost metallic edge of the original. The jasmine is more subdued, blending into the rose rather than shouting. The dry down leans heavily on vanilla and amber, creating a warm, comforting base. It lacks the complex musk that gives Atomic Rose its longevity and depth. You can tell it's a clone in the drydown. It's a little…simpler. ### How Long Does it Last? This one projects nicely for the first 2 hours, creating a noticeable bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Expect around 6 hours of wear. A respray after 4 is recommended to keep the vibe going."

"### Notes & Nuances Badee Al Oud Amethyst aims for Initio's Atomic Rose, and it gets respectably close, say 87%. The opening blasts with pink pepper and a citrusy zing from bergamot, but the hedione here leans slightly sharper, a touch more synthetic. The heart is where it shines: Bulgarian and Turkish roses intertwine nicely, offering a jammy sweetness tempered by jasmine. It's a good rose accord, just not as richly textured as Atomic Rose. The drydown settles into a vanilla-amber base, which is pleasant but lacks the depth and muskiness of the original. ### Wear time & Sillage This one performs. Expect 6-8 hours on skin, projecting moderately for the first 2-3 hours. It definitely leaves a scent trail, so be mindful of application. Not a skin scent by any means. ### Is it Worth It? Badee Al Oud Amethyst is a solid alternative if you're after that Atomic Rose vibe without dropping serious cash. It's not a 1:1 dupe, and the synthetic edges are noticeable if you're familiar with the original. However, it's a well-performing, pleasant rose fragrance that gets the job done. If you can find it for under $35, and can't justify paying $300+ for Initio, this is a safe blind buy."

"### How it Smells Royale Amethyst goes for Atomic Rose's big, bold rose, and gets pretty close. The opening is a blast of pink pepper and a citrusy bergamot – it's brighter than Atomic Rose, a little sharper. The heart is where the rose party really starts. You get that jammy, slightly sweet Bulgarian rose, but it's got a bit of a synthetic edge here, noticeable if you’re familiar with Atomic Rose. The jasmine is dialed back, thankfully. Drydown brings a vanilla amber base that’s comforting, but not as refined as Initio’s. I'd say it captures about 90% of the Atomic Rose vibe. ### Is it Worth It? The synthetic rose is noticeable, but it's not a dealbreaker. It’s a good daily wear option for rose lovers, especially during cooler months. But if you just want that big, rosy profile without breaking the bank, give this a shot. Perfect for date night or a casual evening out. ### The Performance Stats Longevity is decent. I get about 6-7 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first couple of hours. It settles into a skin scent after that. Not beast mode, but respectable point. It projects less intensely than Atomic Rose."

"### Final Thoughts This is for the rose lover who appreciates depth without breaking the bank. If Atomic Rose is the ice queen, Rose Mystery Intense is her warm, inviting sister. The synthetic edge is noticeable up close but blooms beautifully in the air. However, you get a damn good interpretation. Ideal for a date night, a cozy autumn evening, or any moment where you want to feel unapologetically feminine and powerful. ### Olfactory Experience Rose Mystery Intense opens with a peppery citrus zing, not quite as luminous as Atomic Rose, maybe 86% there. The bergamot feels a touch sharper, less rounded. The heart bursts with rose – Bulgarian, Turkish, a heady trio – but leans slightly more jammy than the crisp, almost metallic rose of the original. There's a whisper of jasmine, but it's the rose that dominates. The drydown is where it deviates most. The vanilla and amber create a sweeter, more gourmand feel, lacking Initio’s clean musk that lingers for days. ### Wear time & Sillage Expect about 6-7 hours of wear, with moderate projection for the first two. It softens to a skin scent after that. Not beastly, but respectable . It projects confidence, not arrogance."

"### Is it Worth It? Fragrance World’s Atomic Rose is a solid offering. If you crave the Atomic Rose experience but balk at the Initio price tag, this is a worthwhile substitute. It delivers a convincing rose-centric fragrance with a touch of spice and warmth. If ultimate realism and high-end materials are paramount, then perhaps. But for the average consumer, this clone provides excellent value. Buy it if you love rose fragrances and want an affordable option. ### How it Smells Fragrance World's Atomic Rose opens with a prominent pink pepper, immediately noticeable. Bergamot is present, adding a slight citrus lift, but the hedione feels somewhat muted compared to Initio's original. The rose accord blooms quickly; a blend of Bulgarian and Turkish rose emerges. It's reasonably faithful to the inspiration, though a touch less photorealistic. The jasmine is dialed back, acting more as support than a distinct element. The base of vanilla and amber provides warmth, but a slightly synthetic edge is apparent, especially in the late drydown. I'd estimate it captures about 95% of the original's DNA. The main difference lies in the quality of raw materials; Initio's has a natural richness, which is slightly lacking here. ### Projection Power Longevity is respectable. I get around 6-7 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first two hours, creating a decent scent bubble. It then settles closer to the skin. Not beast mode, but certainly adequate."

"### Scent Breakdown Badee Al Oud Amethyst aims for the high-pitched, almost metallic rose of Initio's Atomic Rose. The opening offers a sparkling pink pepper, bright bergamot and that signature hedione lift. It is immediately apparent that this is not quite the same. There's a slightly synthetic edge in the opening. The rose accord leans heavily on Bulgarian rose, and loses the velvety richness of the Turkish rose found in Atomic Rose. The jasmine is present, but subdued. The base settles into a warm amber-vanilla that mimics the original, but again, with a less nuanced feel. I'd say it captures about 85% of Atomic Rose's DNA. ### The Performance Stats Amethyst projects well for the first two hours, leaving a noticeable scent trail. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is respectable; I get a solid 6-8 hours on my skin, sometimes longer on clothes. ### Conclusion This is a good choice if you crave the vibe of Atomic Rose, but can't stomach the price tag. The synthetic edges are noticeable, but not deal-breakers. You need to love rose! If you desire photorealistic rose, skip this. For most people, this clone delivers enough of the magic ."

"### Bottom Line If you crave the high-octane rose of Atomic Rose but balk at the price tag, Royale Amethyst offers a compelling alternative. It's ideal for someone who exudes confidence, a "main character" type who isn't afraid to command attention. While it lacks the nuanced complexity of the original, this clone presents a vibrant, unapologetic rose experience. Is Atomic Rose ten times better? No. ### The Scent Profile Royale Amethyst bursts forth, mimicking Atomic Rose's DNA at about 85%. The initial pink pepper bite is there, maybe a touch sharper, less rounded than Initio's. A clean, almost soapy jasmine cuts through the rose duo. It's bright, energetic. The vanilla amber base anchors the floral onslaught but lacks the depth and subtle powderiness of the original. It's a bit more straightforward, linear. After an hour, a slight synthetic edge surfaces, a reminder of its cloned origins, but it never becomes overwhelming. ### How Long Does it Last? This isn't a shrinking violet. Royale Amethyst projects powerfully for the first 2 hours, leaving a noticeable trail. Longevity sits around 6-7 hours on skin; easily 8+ on clothing. It maintains a moderate presence throughout, never fading into a skin scent completely. Consider it a solid performer, especially point."
