God of Fire Clones

"### How it Smells Ophidian Mango Bliss aims for Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777's God of Fire, and it lands reasonably close, say 92%. The opening has that boozy rum and cedar combo, but it lacks the juicy mango punch of the original. The heart delivers the cinnamon and cloves, creating a warm, spicy feel. I do detect a noticeable chocolate note in the mid that wasn't as prominent in God of Fire; a decent addition, but it makes this clone slightly different. The drydown settles into vanilla and woody notes. However, here's where the price point shows; the base has a slight synthetic edge, lacking the rich depth of the inspiration. ### Final Thoughts Ophidian Mango Bliss is a solid option if you want a taste of God of Fire without the hefty price tag. The synthetic notes in the base are detectable but not a dealbreaker. If you're looking for absolute refinement and photorealistic mango, spend the big bucks on the original. But if you're a budget-conscious fragrance enthusiast, this clone is a worthwhile pickup. But this clone provides a decent alternative . ### Wear time & Sillage Projection is moderate for the first two hours, then settles closer to the skin. I get about 6 hours of longevity on my skin. Not beast mode, but acceptable . It's a good performer but nothing special."

"### Notes & Nuances Gemini opens with a boozy rum and cedar blast. You get a hint of that tobacco note, but it's fleeting. Compared to God of Fire, this is roughly 88% similar. The original has a brighter, juicier mango that’s sorely missed here. Gemini’s heart focuses heavily on the cinnamon and clove. The chocolate is very subtle, almost a whisper. The drydown is a standard vanilla-patchouli affair, leaning slightly synthetic. The woody notes are generic, not particularly distinguished. It lacks the refined smoothness of its inspiration. ### Longevity & Projection Longevity is surprisingly decent . I get around 6-7 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then sits closer to the skin. Don't expect room-filling performance. It's a nice, discreet scent bubble. ### Final Thoughts Gemini is a respectable attempt at God of Fire. It's not a perfect match, lacking the bright mango note and overall refinement, but it captures the general vibe. If you're on a strict budget and curious about God of Fire's DNA, this is a worthwhile gamble. It's higher quality and more nuanced. But for everyday wear, Gemini delivers a similar experience without breaking the bank. A good option for those wanting the experience, without the expense."

"### How it Smells Sceptre Malachite comes out swinging with a boozy rum and cedar that leans a little synthetic in the first few minutes. It's going for that God of Fire vibe but it lacks the natural mango sweetness. The heart of cloves and cinnamon is definitely there, alongside a dark chocolate note. Compared to God of Fire, it's maybe 90% similar. This clone is darker, less juicy, and doesn't have the same radiant quality. The drydown is a cozy mix of vanilla, patchouli and woods. It’s pretty good, but a little less refined than the original. ### Conclusion If you’re curious about God of Fire but can't justify the price tag, Sceptre Malachite is a decent alternative. It’s a solid fall/winter fragrance that works well for evenings out or date night. It's not a 1:1 dupe, so don't expect perfection. But ? It's a worthwhile grab. If you crave that juicy mango note and overall refinement, then maybe. Otherwise, this will scratch that itch. ### Wear time & Sillage Projection is moderate for the first hour or two, creating a nice scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. I get about 6-7 hours of wear on my skin, which is respectable . Don't expect beast mode performance here, it's more of an intimate scent after the initial blast."

"### Olfactory Experience Opulent Dubai doesn’t tiptoe around. A boozy cedar bomb explodes on the skin, slightly rough around the edges – think discount rum rather than aged Barbados. The tobacco note is present but plays second fiddle, adding a touch of masculine dryness. Its heart tries to mimic God of Fire's radiant mango, but instead, delivers a spicy chocolate with a hefty dose of clove and cinnamon. The drydown is where it shines: a smooth vanilla blankets the patchouli and woods, creating a comforting and warm finish. It's about 90% similar to God of Fire, losing some of the original's juicy brightness and gaining a slightly more synthetic feel. ### Final Thoughts If you crave the vibe of God of Fire but balk at the price, Opulent Dubai is a solid compromise. It captures the same spicy-boozy-woody DNA, albeit with a slightly rougher composition. The original does have a richer, more refined character, justifying *some* of the cost difference. However, is it ten times better? Absolutely not. If you're looking for an affordable autumn night fragrance, this clone will fill that role nicely. Buy this if you're the kind of person who enjoys a smoky bar, good whiskey, and the company of intriguing strangers. ### Wear time & Sillage This one sticks around. Eight hours of moderate projection aren’t uncommon. It projects strongly for the first two hours, then settles into a more intimate bubble. Beast mode? No. But definitely above average . Don't overspray; it can become cloying."

"### Olfactory Experience You Are My Fire by Zoghbi is aiming squarely at God of Fire, and it gets pretty close. The opening blast of rum and cedar is immediately familiar, though a bit rougher around the edges. Think God of Fire's charming older cousin who smokes unfiltered cigarettes. The tobacco note is dialed up a touch more, giving it a slightly drier feel initially. As it settles, the clove and cinnamon come forward, and the chocolate note appears but doesn't dominate. The biggest difference? The mango in God of Fire is MIA here. The base is a standard vanilla-patchouli-woody blend. I'd put it at around 92% similar. ### The Verdict Yes, it has a few synthetic edges, and yes, the mango is missing. However, difference, it’s a very wearable and enjoyable fragrance. Ideal for fall and winter evenings, or even a dressed-up date night. This scratches the itch nicely. ### How Long Does it Last? This one's a solid performer . I get around 6-7 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first two. It projects a decent arms-length. Definitely noticeable without being obnoxious. Don't expect all-day performance, but it's respectable."

"### Bottom Line Look, if you're on a budget and curious about the God of Fire DNA, God of Fiery is a solid option. It captures the general vibe, but with a slightly rougher, more synthetic edge. ..if you're a fragrance snob with deep pockets. But for the average Joe who wants a spicy, boozy vanilla scent without breaking the bank, God of Fiery punches way above its weight class. Buy it if you're fragrance-curious and money conscious. ### First Impressions & Dry Down God of Fiery comes out swinging with a boozy rum and cedar combo. The tobacco is more of a whisper than a shout, unlike the original God of Fire. The heart is where this diverges most noticeably. The cloves and cinnamon are dialed up, edging into potpourri territory. It's got a slightly synthetic chocolate note trying to peek through. The drydown is a fairly pleasant vanilla and patchouli blend with some woody undertones. It gets *close* to the original, maybe 95%, but lacks its smoothness. ### Projection Power the performance is decent. I get about 6-7 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first two hours before settling closer. Not beast mode, but respectable."

"### Is it Worth It? You Are My Fire is a decent alternative if you are seeking a boozy, spicy, and woody fragrance on a budget. It captures the general essence of God of Fire but lacks the refinement and distinctive fruity aspects. If you value those nuances, the original is worth the premium. However, for those simply seeking a similar vibe without breaking the bank, this clone is a reasonable choice. It's best suited for cooler evenings or casual wear. ### The Scent Profile You Are My Fire opens with a boozy rum accord, tempered by a cedar note that leans slightly synthetic. The tobacco is present, but it's a whisper, not a shout. Compared to God of Fire, this lacks the initial brightness and mango fruitiness; it's immediately darker, earthier. The heart reveals clove and cinnamon, both reasonably well-executed. The chocolate is more of a cocoa powder, dry and unsweetened. God of Fire’s spicy-sweet complexity is only partially captured here. The base settles into a familiar vanilla and patchouli combination, underpinned by dry woody notes. It’s pleasant but lacks the sophisticated amber accord of the original. I'd say it's roughly 85% similar, missing key nuances. ### Performance Reality Check Longevity is moderate. I get about 5-6 hours on skin with noticeable projection for the first hour. After that, it becomes a skin scent. On clothing, it lingers slightly longer, closer to 7 hours. The performance is adequate point, but not exceptional."

"### Scent Breakdown Vulcan Feu is widely regarded as the 'nuclear' option for God of Fire lovers. It captures the juicy mango and ginger opening with startling accuracy but amps up the performance significantly. While slightly sharper in the opening than the original, it settles into a rich, long-lasting musk and woody base. It projects heavily and leaves a massive sillage trail. ### Conclusion If performance is your priority, this is the winner. It trades a tiny bit of the original's smoothness for sheer power and longevity. An absolute banger for the price. ### Wear time & Sillage True Beast Mode. Expect 10-12+ hours on skin and days on clothes. Projection is room-filling for the first 3-4 hours. Go easy on the trigger."
