    Thanks Ramsey for doing the anise video in such a short time since we mentioned it on the stream!
    And I'm left with so many amazing suggestions for hunting and trying out. Some I own and love like Dali Pour Homme, Tenere, Opium Pour Homme, but others sound right my alley like Tiffany for Men.
    So thank you again on this awesome video!

    Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. You ask what are our favorites? From THIS list!? Oh man… all of them? 😅 I’ve got a thing for vintage Jazz, for sure, and need to back it up. Iron Duke is an incredible crazy scent that is somehow still “wearable”. Then there’s Pour Lui, Vermeil that you mentioned, Dryad is amazing, Des Cendres (the modernized smokey Devin), Azzaro PH is a classic, Smalto… OMG, just so many fantastic fragrances mentioned here I’m happy to own and sniff and love. A few I still need to get…
    An extra shoutout to Des Cendres. Every one from Les Abstraits is FB worthy and people NEED to get their noses on them. Eugen + Antoine Lie did something amazing here rarely found in modern fragrances. Backup bottle worthy even. I don’t ever want to be without them.

    OK, I'll keep an eye out for you. The trick is getting the sellers to upload pictures of the labels.
    FYI FM Geranium Pour Monsieur 21, rue de mont, batch code 13655025. 2016-3.
    So. This helps you with your time frame. Mines is just a 10ml.
    Picked up just today. drum roll, 50ml of YSL Pour Homme Haute Concetrentration from a respected source.
    The amount was very respectful considering.
    Oh, picked up a little traveler of Opium Pour Home Parfums Corps. Also respectful.
    Said I wasn't going to, but man Joma's YSL tester of Pour Homme disappeared rather quickly.
    So I kinda just had to.

    Ramsey,
    Thanks for this star anise/licorice list of frags. A note that I love.
    I see you just did a vid on the samples frag the unique luxury brand. I've yet to watch it but from reading the title, I'm really not surprised at your thoughts on them, and more so you've actually came out and said what my nose thought when I sampled a few some months back.
    You've also confirmed my suspicions on the brand Bois 1920 not being what they used to be, like creed. What is happening in the frag industry. It's becoming that once you get genuinly good stuff you need to hold onto it & make it last, as it may soon be gone, discontinued or replaced with an imposter.
    I'm loving this channel Ramsey, you've shown me that to my surprise, I've a good nose & need to trust it. It's crazy seeing that many things you love, I love & things you don'ts I do not as well. Hahaha! It's insanely enjoyable!
    You've been a blessing. Thanks again! A2!

      Yes! It does appear that * THE NOSE KNOWS & to trust it.
      I find myself going after older fragrances while all others are going after new stuff. If I could get an original bottle of Guerlains SONGS BOIS I'd be Sokol happy , but the asking prices for it are beyond my reach. The Ambre Eternal you mentioned in past vids sounds like a winner also.
      I'm in the process of gifting an attorney living in Corpus Christi, Tx with an original bottle of Guerlain * NEROLI OUTRE NOIR, meaning "Extra Dark Neroli.
      Would you believe, last week, I was sent a full new bottle, in full presentation of * MIDNIGHT ROSE by AMOUROUD, from someone I've never met, nor conversed with. That's never happen, but I was happily surprised. Out the gate you're hit with a lush rose, which leans feminine. I like the dry down more so than the opening, as it gives me faint whiffs of TF * BLACK ORCHID. At least that's what my nose tells me.
      What a gift! Thanks for feedback. A2!

      Ramsey,
      Thanks for that insight. Would have never imagined that there was some type of possible relationship between TF brand & Amouroud. I owned * WET STONE at one time, but I gifted it to my Chiropracter for being a blessing to my health. Now that you've shared that bit if info, I'd not be surprised if those in white bottles were also in some way old TF discarded formulas. I guess I'm just happy my Chiropracter enjoys it & has gotten unsolicited compliments on it. He's an outdoorsy man & the scent appears to be suitable for outdoors weather in summer/spring.
      Thanks again! You're the #1 youtube frag reviewer in my book. I just may send you something in future. I've a vintage Serge luten bottle of * MIEL D'BOIS. It's one that you certainly need to be in the mood to wear, as the Honey note comes across very pungent cat urine like. Certainly only for die hard collectors. I've hardly worn it. Let me know if it's something you'd be interested in reviewing as a collector.
      Thanks again! A2!

    Somehow, I missed this video, but it was a good one! While watching it, I was going through my collection which is everywhere in my bedroom and found an unopened backup bottle of Omar Sharif pour femme. I opened it up and dined it is pretty old 2002, although if you look it up it says it was earlier than that. Perfumer was Francois Caron and it had lots of notes too numerous to remember, including green, floral, orange blossom, bergamot, rose, Ylang Ylang, Orris, Palisander, rosewood, Orris, Musk, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Amber, Narcissus and green, powdery and anamalic touches. It is a small bottle and he also had a pour version. He version which I do not have. It is a small bottle (1.6) and is a dab on. It is of course discontinued, but now I know why I had the back up bottle.

    • @phyllisiervello
      @phyllisiervello ปีที่แล้ว

      I apologize for the typos and tried to edit them but was unable to. I did not “dined” it and do not know where that came from. I believe my bottle was from 2001 and I left out one note (tuberose) and perhaps more because that little bottle had lots of notes. Omar Sharif was an actor from Egypt and also supposedly an excellent bridge player. His most known movies were Doctor Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia, among others.

    Recently sniffed the new Armani Code parfum....bye bye anise and leather. Much fresher and still with that 90s vibe, but all the character has been sadly drained. Au Masculin edpi still probably my favourite designer use of the note, but vintage Azzaro Pour Homme is not far behind. Wore Cuir Cuba Intense earlier last week too and it was much sweeter than I anticipated. Tomorrow will be my last fragrance of Nicolai week to round out the sample set. L'eau MiXte on deck. Notes look promising and it's compared with Otto Kern's Cycle. If you're busy tomorrow, best of luck on your exam on Monday! I'll send you a little present over email tomorrow too.
