Vulcan Feu by French Avenue is a solid everyday fragrance with decent longevity at moderate application levels (4 sprays), but struggles with projection on fabrics and in loud, crowded environments. Community consensus suggests it performs best as a personal fragrance in close-proximity situations rather than for making an impact in bustling public spaces.

Spectre Ghost is a competent and affordable alternative to Nishane Ani that captures much of the original's character, making it a solid dupe for the price. However, it falls short of being a true 1:1 replacement, as some users detect an unwanted patchouli note in the drydown and find the original superior in direct comparison. Community consensus suggests it's better appreciated as a standalone fragrance rather than a true clone.
