    The copy is very good, very close. It is not 100%, perhaps 80-90%. I can say that because I still have about 40ml left of a 100ml bottle of Dolce&Gabbana By Man I bought some years ago. As this is my all-time favorite fragrance, I use it sparingly - only on extremely special occasions. Given the rarity of the fragrance now and the ludicrous prices it is now going for, that is of course - if you can find it, I was tempted to sell what I do have remaining. Even a bottle with 40% of the product within is still gold dust it seems. Nevertheless, I could not bring myself to do such a thing as, as I said, being my favourite fragrance, owning it is more valuable to me than any financial profit I could gain by selling it. Here comes the science bit. The top note of this copy is right there in that it is familiar. But, there is a slight difference. When comparing it to the original, I was of the opinion that the original is more subtle, particularly in the Mid note. With time the Base notes again do remind of the original. Therefore, in sum, a good, but noticeable, copy. This may be nostalgia talking, but, since By Man is discontinued, and likely gone forever, this will, and absolutely does, suffice. Personally, unless by some freak chance of fate Dolce&Gabbana, begin to sell By Man again (it is shocking that it was discontinued, apparently, due to lack of interest) I would rather buy this than anything else. If you miss Dolce&Gabbana By Man, I would recommend this. Given the circumstances (i.e. the fact that By Man has been essentially relegated to the stage of history), I doubt you will be disappointed. I will end by echoing the cry of other reviews… please, do not ever stop making this.

    Smells very similar to MI. Longevity it around 2-3 hours for me which is about the same as current batches of MI. I also have Rush of Unicorns (RoU). This is fruitier/creamier than RoU which is more salty. I like both.

    This is better than the fruity version since it is closer to Aventus. It also lasts longer, around 3 hours (which is similar to current batches of Aventus). This is a good clone for the price.

    This one is difficult to rate. As a copy of Eau Sauvage, it’s not that great. There is way too much lemon, which dominates the entire life of the fragrance. Whereas, Eau Sauvage is better blended and a more rounded fragrance. However, its not that bad as its own fragrance; especially if you don’t mind heavy lemon scents.

    Stunning scent, near and close to the original classic, dark and musky with a nice dry down

    Mozzer June 02, 2019

    One of my favourite scents of all time, I no longer have any of the original to enable me to do a side by side test, from memory it is spot on to the original with nothing to make it obvious that this is a clone, I have the oil it is very easy to apply. Great projection but unfortunately does not last like the original, 2 HRS and then it becomes a close to skin scent but for the cost it is just a case of repeating the application.

    Very close to the original in a side by side comparison; a bit sweeter though. I tested only the oil. Good longevity, about 4 hours.

    Elysium June 01, 2019

    This is a very beautiful scent in a manly kind of way. Not saying a woman couldn’t pull this one off but I am truly in love with it and I am a man. As it does share some of the same dna of Muglers Pure Havane to my nose, it goes in a more intoxicating direction. (pardon the pun) I have not smelled the By Kilian version but I will definitely be purchasing Lose Control again and again. If you find Pure Havane to be a pleasant scent then you too will fall in love with Lose Control 1459.
