Fragrance World's 'Blazing' captures the spicy-citrus framework of Penhaligon's original quite competently, with a similar warm spiced wood progression. However, the clone exhibits slightly softer projection in the heart notes and a marginally less refined amber base, making it feel less complex overall despite matching the core accords well.
The clone performs adequately on scent DNA but shows reduced longevity and sillage compared to the original. The base notes lack the subtle sophistication of Penhaligon's amber-vetiver blend, making the dry-down feel slightly more linear.

“So this is a clone of the Blazing Mr Sam, my personal favourite scent. It doesn't capture the nuance of BMS, but it certainly comes off as VERY similar. I would also go so far as to say the projectivity and longevity is superior. When you smell them side-by-side, you can tell which is the clone easily. That said, in a few hours, I couldn't smell the original whereas the clone was still going, so I think it does serve a purpose as a "workhorse" scent if you really want to project BMS but don't want to spray the original for every social engagement you go to.”
“This is only useful for someone that wants to get acquired with the DNA in multiple wearings, it indeed conveys the vibe of The Blazing Mr Sam. But it is dirt cheap, and it smells like that on skin. It's a better representation of the og on paper, without any body heat. It also performs like a 20€ clone from a clone store. The og does have performance issues, but this dies much quicker, and doesn't have the same airy quality to the opening, to at least make up for that.”
“If you're a fan of rich, warm, and spicy scents with a touch of tobacco, Blazing is smoothI think the dry down is where Blazing truly shines,Performance-wise, offering moderate longevity around 5-7 hours for me, but not overwhelming, projection. It's a cozy, and alluring scent that feels far more expensive than it is. Its a great everyday cool-weather scent, Fragrance World Blazing is an excellent choice.”
