Fan Your Flames Clones

"### The Scent Profile Unspoken Pleasures opens with a distinct coconut and rum accord, mimicking the boozy tropical vibe of Fan Your Flames, but with a noticeable synthetic edge. The coconut leans toward artificial flavoring rather than fresh fruit. The heart develops into a warm tobacco and tonka bean combination. It captures the essence of the original's sweetness and smokiness, though lacking the smoother, almost creamy texture achieved by Nishane. The drydown presents a cedar and oakmoss base. It attempts to replicate the woody depth, yet the oakmoss feels slightly muted and lacks the authentic earthiness. Overall, it lands around 91% similar to Fan Your Flames, but it shows its budget origins. ### Performance Reality Check Longevity is moderate. I detected it for about 5-6 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first hour, settling closer to the skin afterward. On fabric, it lasts a bit longer, closer to 8 hours. It projects about an arms length for the first hour. The original provides a richer, more persistent experience. However, be aware of the synthetic nuances. It's a decent choice if you enjoy the general scent profile and find the original's price prohibitive. But if you are on a budget, this will scratch the itch."

"### How it Smells Set Your Flames kicks off with a boozy coconut rush. Think dark rum poured into a fresh coconut shell. It's good, though the coconut has a slight synthetic edge compared to Fan Your Flames. The heart quickly unfolds into a sweet tobacco and tonka bean accord. Rich, comforting, and inviting. This is where it sticks closest to the Nishane original – about 90%. The dry down leans heavier on the cedar, losing some of the nuanced smokiness of the original's oud. It's still pleasant, but feels slightly less complex. ### How Long Does it Last? Longevity is impressive. Expect 7-8 hours on skin, easily lasting longer on clothes. Projection is moderate for the first 2 hours, creating a noticeable scent bubble before settling closer to the skin. It’s powerful enough to get compliments, but not obnoxious. ### Final Thoughts Set Your Flames captures the overall vibe of Fan Your Flames effectively. It’s not a perfect replica, the slightly synthetic opening and cedar-heavy dry down reveal its cloned nature. That said, it offers incredible value. If you're seeking the full Nishane experience, save up. But if you want a taste of that boozy, tobacco-infused warmth without breaking the bank, this is a solid option. Ideal for those who enjoy cozy, gourmand-leaning fragrances and aren't afraid of a little sweetness."

"### Scent Breakdown Unspoken Pleasures opens with a boozy coconut accord. The rum is present, but dialed down compared to Fan Your Flames. It's less overtly alcoholic. The heart quickly emerges, dominated by a sweet tobacco note. Tonka bean adds a creamy, almond-like facet. The tobacco leans slightly synthetic here; a noticeable difference from the richer, more nuanced tobacco in the Nishane original. The drydown showcases a cedarwood note. The oakmoss is subtle, providing a slightly earthy grounding. Overall, it captures approximately 85% of the Fan Your Flames DNA. The key difference lies in the quality of the ingredients, particularly the tobacco. ### Projection Power Longevity is moderate. I get around 6 hours on skin. Projection is decent for the first 2 hours. It creates a pleasant scent bubble without being overpowering. After that, it settles closer to the skin. ### Final Thoughts Unspoken Pleasures is a solid option. It offers a good approximation of Fan Your Flames. However, be aware of the slightly synthetic nuances, especially in the tobacco accord. However, if you crave the depth and quality of the original, Fan Your Flames remains the superior choice, albeit at a significant price premium. If budget is no issue, skip this."
