I've recently gotten into clones. I have to say that there are a few good ones out there, especially from the houses of Armaf and Rasasi. I'm not sure, though, that I've found clones that mimic the rich, ambergris dry-down of some of my favorite Creeds (i.e. SMW or MI, which drydown's are similar, yet different). Those drydowns are usually what get me my compliments.
I got a sample of Rasasi Al Wisam Day, and it is indeed a SMW clone, however, the SMW drydown is nowhere to be found there. Club de Nuit Intense Man has a nice drydown, but not quite what I'm looking for.
