Intoxicated Clones

"### Scent Breakdown Intoxicated by Rogue Perfumery nails the Kilian DNA pretty closely. I'd say it's 85-91% there. The opening cardamom is present, but slightly sharper, a bit less rounded than the original. The heart is where it shines – that delicious coffee and nutmeg combo is front and center. The drydown brings in the cinnamon and vanilla, creating a warm, gourmand feel. Where it differs slightly is in the overall smoothness; Kilian has a certain luxurious feel that this clone can't *quite* replicate. There’s a *hint* of synthetic edge, especially in the opening, but it fades quickly. ### Projection Power Longevity is surprisingly good. I get a solid 6-7 hours on skin, and it lasts even longer on clothes. Projection is moderate; it won't fill a room, but it creates a nice scent bubble. It projects for about an hour and a half, then sits closer to the skin. Not bad at all . ### Final Thoughts It's not a perfect 1:1, but it’s damn close. you get a very similar experience. This is perfect for fall/winter evenings or date nights. A great daily driver for gourmand lovers."

"### The Scent Profile Okay, so this clone is aiming for Kilian's Intoxicated. The cardamom opening is definitely there, though a touch sharper and more synthetic than the real deal. It quickly dives into a coffee and spice blend. I get nutmeg and cinnamon, but the coffee is the star here. It's a slightly roasted, sweet coffee rather than a dark, bitter brew. The dry down is vanilla-heavy, smoothing things out. Honestly, it's about 91% there. The real Intoxicated has a richer, smoother, natural feel. This one has a slight synthetic edge throughout, but it's not offensive. ### The Performance Stats Not bad at all . I'm getting a solid 6-7 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first couple of hours, then it sits closer. It won't fill a room, but people within arm's reach will notice. A couple of extra sprays will bump up the performance if you need it. ### Bottom Line If you love the idea of Intoxicated but can't stomach the Kilian price tag, this is a decent alternative. It's a good daily driver for fall and winter. Perfect for coffee shops, dates, or just cozy days in. If you're a hardcore fragrance snob, you'll notice the difference. But for the average Joe or Jane looking for a warm, spicy, coffee scent on a budget? Absolutely worth checking out."

"### Final Thoughts You're Drugged is a winner. If you love Intoxicated but can't justify the cost, this is a great alternative. It's not a perfect dupe, that synthetic coffee note is the biggest difference. But for everyday wear, it's fantastic. This is a cold weather fragrance, perfect for dates, or a cozy night in. Get this and enjoy the savings. ### First Impressions & Dry Down You're Drugged opens with a blast of cardamom. It's pretty close to Intoxicated, maybe 88% similar. The coffee note isn't quite as rich, leaning a bit more into a synthetic coffee candy vibe. Still, it's pleasant. The nutmeg and cinnamon in the base add warmth and spice. The vanilla keeps it from being too sharp. As it dries down, that synthetic edge fades, leaving a cozy, gourmand scent. The original has better ingredients, more depth, but this holds its own. ### The Performance Stats This is where You're Drugged shines. I get a solid 6-7 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first two hours, then settles closer. It lasts longer on clothes, easy 8+ hours. It's not a beast mode fragrance, which fits the cozy vibe perfectly."

"### Notes & Nuances ÉCLAT 729 VIP aims for the darkly opulent mood of Kilian's Intoxicated. The opening cardamom is present but lacks the original's fizzy lift. It quickly settles into the coffee and spice heart. The nutmeg and cinnamon are amped up slightly, giving it a warmer, almost gourmand feel compared to the drier, more refined original. The vanilla base is sweeter and more pronounced. Imagine Intoxicated, but with a sugar dusting. It captures around 86% of the original's vibe. The synthetics are noticeable in the opening, creating a slightly sharper edge that Intoxicated lacks. ### The Verdict ÉCLAT 729 VIP is a solid option for those seeking the Intoxicated mood on a budget. If you crave a rich, spicy coffee scent and don't mind a slightly sweeter and less complex interpretation, this is a good buy. The original's superior ingredients justify its higher price tag for some. Buy this if you want to feel like the owner of a dimly-lit, exclusive jazz club, but are building the venue on a startup budget. ### The Performance Stats Projection is moderate for the first two hours, creating a cozy scent bubble. After that, it sits closer to the skin. Longevity is decent; expect to get around 6-7 hours on skin. On clothing, it lingers much longer, easily lasting a full workday."
