Hi! Thank you very much for watching.

Hi! Thank you for mentioning about that. Thank you for watching.

Hi! Sure. I will add one. Thank you.

Hi Jake! I appreciate the kind words my friend. Thank you for the support.

Hi Travis! This is a very difficult question for me to answer because they are totally different in their profiles. However, if I absolutely had to pick I would go with Royal Incense. I love rose and that rosiness is winning me over. I would say try to get a sample of both of them, so that you can make the best decision for yourself. Thanks for watching!

Hi Bryan! I completely agree! Thank you for the recommendations. I will try to score some samples. Thank you for stopping by.

Hi! It is such a phenomenal Oud fragrance. Hands down the best in my collection. Try and score a sample if you can.

@@CurtisNose Where could I score a sample of this? I was going to do another Creed Royal Oud but I'd like to try this first. Thanks.

@Ragga1205 You can get a sample from Luckyscent.

Hi Tvieso! Yes, it is definitely quite a lovely wear. I seem to enjoy it more and more after each wearing. I appreciate you stopping by and sharing about the fragrance. Thank you!

Hi Alithia! I have never heard of that brand before, but will have to check them out. Thank you for mentioning it.

I appreciate you, Scorp!

Hi! Each time I wear it, I am enjoying it more and more. Thank you for stopping by.

Hi Komyo! It depends really, but if it is from discounters, then I usually buy from Maxaroma. If I am paying retail for something then it is usually from The Nose Shop. Have you ever used Maxaroma?

@ not yet,I will take a look.Thz for the info. I’ve been using venba fragrance,although the prices are good shipping fees is kinda high,like 40-50dollars

Shipping is about the same for Maxaroma.

@ sad 🥲

Hi Demi! It surly is! Such a game changer for me that will always be in my collection. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi! Yes, we all have different opinions and tastes. I appreciate you stopping by. Thank you!

Hi Dany! I appreciate that my friend.

Appreciate you! Thank you!

I appreciate you my friend. Thanks for the support.

DITB.

Hi Dany! Thank you for the support. I can make a video on that without giving myself any restrictions. I will add that to the list of videos to make. That is a good question though and I will really have to think about this one. I will make this video soon. Thank you for stopping by.

@CurtisNose Thank you so much. I can't wait. From your recommendation I bought Mancera Sensuel Vetiver, Xerjoff Nio, Nishane Hacivat, Penhaligon's Sartorial Eight n Bob Oryginal ( I can't stop slmelling them!😀) I save money for Rose de Taif Extract ( I have never thought the rose will be something I fall in love) and Amouage Beach Hut Man. Thank you so much for everything.

@@danydanoo5712 Glad I could help!

Honestly, I have never tried anything from the house of Initio before. I guess I will have to dive into that house a bit. Thank you for mentioning it.

Hi Raissacc! Please let me know what you think of Flower Lust and Tubereuse Astrale after you get them. A sample of Rose de Taif extrait may be hard to come by, but if you can get one, it is a lovely experience. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi! I really would like to get a sample of Gardens de misfah extrait as I have heard great things about it so far. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Demi! Oh nice! It really is a lovely one. I feel like it’s really going to shine for me in the spring. I’m glad to hear that you love it! Thanks for stopping by.

Oh nice! Do you enjoy rose as well or mainly white florals?

@ To be honest I’m not a rose fan. I can enjoy as a complementary note but not as the main player. I enjoy yellow i.e Ylang, Champaca and purple flowers if you will like heliotrope and iris. I enjoy white florals like jasmine but not a much as I like the more tropical florals and the powdery florals. I doubt that I’d enjoy just a light or fresh and very powdery fragrances but the inclusion of powdery florals with sweet and ambery fragrances makes all the difference and is a great improvement imo. Back to rose, I will continue to sample rose fragrances in the hopes that palate and preferences will expand with time, but for now it’s not my vibe. I tried the edp of Rose de Tiaf and it really didn’t peak my interest but I’ll still try the Extrait in the Spring.

@@CurtisNose the inclusions of floral notes is what really makes a fragrance resonate with me. In no way was this on purpose it just played out that way in my fragrance journey. To give some examples: Angelique Noir is one of if not my favorite vanilla and I believe that it’s the present Angelica and Jasmine that make this so. Spiritueuse Double Vanille has listed Rose, Jasmine and Ylang but at least to my nose I really don’t pick them up. Delphinus was likely my favorite release in 2024 and it’s certainly the heliotrope and Iris that are my favorite aspects. A couple years ago Delina Exclusive was likely worn more times than any other fragrance on fall. A couple years before that Blossom Love by Amouage was my most worn. (I say most worn as I don’t really maintain a signature

I would say, definitely try the extrait of Rose de Taif. In my opinion it is so much more rich, deep, jammy and extremely long lasting. Have you ever tried Viola Nere by Meo Fusciuni? It is an absolute gorgeous floral with some powdery vibes and some dark edges to it. I really like that one.

@ I’ve not tried anything from Meo Fusciuni but I will now. Thank you for the recommendation. Stay Up Curt

@@caseyplunkett6083 Hi Casey! Yes, florals are very underrated in my opinion. I think they add a sense of opulence, class, and elegance to a fragrance. Thanks for stopping by my friend.

Indeed they do. Rose fragrances really are something special for me. Thanks for stopping by my friend.

I appreciate it, Scorp. Thank you!

Hi SunburstHD! I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have heard of Parfums Satori, but have not been able to sample anything from that house just yet. It is definitely on my list though. Thanks a bunch for the support!

Hi Ismelledathing! Yes, I really enjoy them. Especially rose! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Moiz! Tobacco and tuberose is quite a nice combo and I like that as well.

Hi Nathaniel! I have never tried Une Rose before, but it sounds lovely. I need to dive into the house of Tauer a bit more for sure. I appreciate you stopping by and for sharing about your floral likes.

Definitely trying to. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you, my friend!

Hi! I think living here in Japan makes me a bit more self conscious, but also more considerate of the others around me because of the culture here. WOW! That is kind of scary that your friend had to use an inhaler. You never know how some people can react whether they are just annoyed or by having a physical reaction. Definitely things to stay mindful of. Thanks a bunch for stopping by.

I appreciate it, Duck. Thank you!

@ absolutely Curtis 🫡👍🏽

Hi Curtis! Thanks for the review! I also had a sample of Radical Rose. I quite enjoyed it but not enough for me to get a full bottle! I guess it’s hard to impress when you have POAL (my SOTD) and Rose de Taif Extrait (I need to get my nose on) 😊

Hi! LOL! Thank you, my friend!

Hi! Sure! 1. Rose de Taif Extrait by Perris Monte Carlo 2. POAL by Frederic Malle 3. Radical Rose by Matiere Premiere (I need to spend more time with this one though) With that said, I also love Lyric Man by Amouage. It is a very nice fresh and clean soapy type of rose.

@CurtisNose Thanks Sir..I look forward to go with Perris Monte Carlo but it's not available right now in India. I have Royal incense..would certainly try layering them both.

Hi Sunburst! This is a really good question actually. Let me give this some thought and I may actually make a video on this topic. Thank you!

​@@CurtisNose ​ thank you for the consideration, I have left a sub so I wont miss the follow up ;) I would also love to hear about your specific situation as I suspect the Japanese are even more sensitive then us western folk. Or you could visit/highlight some of the japanese brands out there. I think you are in a unique situation which separates you from all the other reviewers out there. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Hi Scorp! It is a lovely house for sure. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Godfrey! I 100% agree with what you are saying here. We definitely have the experience and the interest to appreciate scents that people who are not into fragrances would probably dislike or even find offensive. Great choice on your next fragrance by the way! I absolutely love Coeur Du Desert, but only have a sample of it. I can see a full bottle in my future for sure. I appreciate your thoughts on this topic and I am very happy to engage and interact with you. Thanks a bunch for stopping by.

@@CurtisNose Thanks for responding, Curtis. If you don't mind me asking, I am intrigued by your situation. An american living in Japan. One video, please will you tell us a ltlle bit more about yourself e.g. what do you do for a living, how long have you lived in Japan, do you speak Japanese? Best wishes, Godfrey, London

Hi Godfrey! Sure, I can make a video on that topic. Thank you for the request.

Hi! Oh nice! Please let me know your thoughts on the extrait once you get it. Thanks for stopping by.

@@CurtisNoseI sampled the extract and was blown away. It has so much depth and what I think is a bit of incense which I love. It is a one spray-er for me and lasts 24 hours.

@O3sidian_cloud It sounds amazing! Thanks a bunch for the info on it.

Thank you, Bashawn! I appreciate you!

I appreciate you my friend. Thank you!

Hi John! I have never tried the spray/walk through technique before, but I may give that one a try with my stronger fragrances. Thanks a bunch for sharing about it and for stopping by.

It is indeed! Thank you, Carlito.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Hey Charm! Yes, we should definitely catch up. If I can ever get the courage to do a LIVE on my channel, I would love to have you on. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Hans! I appreciate you sharing about your spray routine. And thank you for the information about pulse point surface temperature. I will definitely have to look into this a bit further. Thanks a bunch for stopping by.
