I would love to try these one day... I saw the interview with Ramsey and Russian Adam is a meticulous perfumer and his stuff sounds interesting... But luckily from your description, I guess I might have an idea as we have a lot of the Indian population here is South Africa and I do have some Attars as well. The one's I have are not so pissy as I stay away from Cambodian Oud, that's the one with a pissy vibe... but they are very good and long lasting.
@@RichMitch I guess I'd have to try the samples first then... And I understand when I also tried the stuff from India it was a BIG NO from me as well but an interesting take and feedback back session from your first impressions video...
Never smelled a Areej Le Dore, but from what gather of what I've heard it's more about the materials that's in the perfume than the actual blend itself. And it often sounds like the compositions undermine the potential of what the materials can do 🤷♀️. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to smell any and gauge for myself what Russian Adam means to do
Purely by chance Ambre de Coco is my SOTD. Thankfully I don't get the toilet note and I agree the coco is not as up front as I expected. Only a little needed on skin, as it is pretty potent and it really lasts.
Duck! Really enjoying your thoughtful and perceptive thoughts on these attars! My personal fav is Al Majmua (can’t wait for your thoughts). Now I’ll be resniffing Ambre de Coco. About time I get them out to see how they’ve evolved in the bottle. 👏👏👏👏❤️🙏
Looks like this house is getting into a group of its own at the intersection of an investment brand and a bro brand. Respect the bloke but nothing good enough for me to buy for the price and the hustle.
I was supremely disappointed in this collection. I bought Gul Hina though (bottles say Gul Hina. That's official name. Gul hena was an error apparently.) My bottle and my sample have different quality top notes. Unfortunate. Was pretty annoyed by that. This collection and the one he just release this weekend are big signs he's more about cashing easy checks than pleasing his original hard-core audience.
So sorry to hear that. You definitely should email our team about it. Having said that it is practically impossible as we only produce a single batch of every fragrance. As for cashing out please clarify further if you may. Probably you haven't watched the video about latest release. Those hand made attars we distilled and macerated by Russian Adam himself. Some were made from 2 years ago and took over a several month to process. It's not just some quick simple experiments that were made a week ago. So please do clarify if you have a minute. Thank you.
@@itskyyuuuu please point out who ever co-distilled sandalwood and civet in rose water? Would love to try. Second attar however consists of 7 ingredients. But it's not the point really. You not liking it , thinking it's not unique it's ok. But calling it a cash grab or something is a bit too much and has no basis whatsoever.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts with us!
Hi! Thank you for watching!
Gul Hina was the best one in terms my own personal taste.. there's no indole vibe on skin either which is good, stays very clean
I will be trying these on skin soon enough

They're very interesting and I'm glad I've got this sample set but I just don't think this style is for me.

@@dumisanimkhize3845 thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it, I'll try and get the second video out today!
Which one do you think is better: FM the night or beauty & the beast?
The Night
@@RichMitchHey, which one is more oud dominant?
These really shine on skin.. or feather or fur if you prefer 🐏🦆
🤣🤣🤣

Ohhh I just got to the differences of blending west vs east... interesting!!
🤣

It's incredibly potent, can smell it across the room
I've gone thru the set once. Perhaps I'll go thru it again today with you ✌🏻
Well said revisiting your thoughts and position on Areej and blending and such. Respect. 🙏✌🏻
@@JONATHAN-db2ry 🙏🏻
Rich, I caught one of your lives recently and you mentioned Bortnikoff. How are you finding the Oud Max and Monarch discovery atomisers?
They're ok, I'm not sure if this style of perfume is for me

Cheers Rachel! You have bottles?
@@RichMitch Not yet! I’m still working through my samples to see how they develop a bit. I’m planning on getting at least one.
That my niche niche hobby. Amazing stuff
You a fan?
@@RichMitch yeah but Russian Adam stuff is quite good but extremely hard to find if they get sold out. I have a few from travel in the orient
As long as it doesn't go down to penalties, I'm in. Can't take anymore after last night!
🤣🤣🤣
I am here, and I am listening
Where and what
Jolly good👌 Happy Holidays bud🎅🎄
Thanks Vic same to you and your family 🎅🎄
@@RichMitch thank you very much🙏🎅

I agree, tbh. Hell of a niche for himself
passed on these haven't really been impressed with much from this house
Me neither to be honest

Oh dear, shouldn't be discrepancies between the samples and bottles.
I've heard a lot of people say the early work was his best
So sorry to hear that.

@Areej le Doré Perfumes distilling 2 ingredients together isn't some sort of incredible 2 year achievement. Been done for hundreds of years.

I wasn’t impressed with this collection. Beauty and the Beast was my favorite, but even it doesn’t stand out from other rose/ouds I have.
I am with you so far, probably do the next video tomorrow so keep an eye 👁️ out
