Hi, today I am taking you through my First Impressions of the house of Naomi Goodsir. Please enjoy! #cologne #fragrance #perfume #nichefragrance #firstimpression #niche #NaomiGoodsir #Goodsir
The discovery set isn't too terribly expensive, I might give it a go. I'm interested in trying most of them. By the way, I won an auction for a sealed 200ml pewter cap Eau D'Hermes. I'm very excited for it, I'll let you know how it turns out.
@@LEgoiste Hermes water? Maybe somebody who didn't know English or French did a machine translation, since Eau D'Hermes does technically mean Hermes water or something close to that.
Nice brand. One of the better brands in that realm. I own iris cendre. Really really unique. Dry ashy iris. Smells like paper on a blotter. Nice tobacco note as well. You’re right, when I first tried iris cendre its different then others I’ve tried. Julian is great, but imo he needs to pull back on the amberwoods a little.
Iris cendre is on its way. I'm pretty happy with my Pickups from them, unless I use up this nuit de bakelite sample and decide I need a bottle lol. Love Rasquinet but those smoked Woods in the moon have upset me a bit, could've done it better imo
@@RichMitch I know what you mean. Corpus is crazy. It smells so furry, sour and animalic the leather. I was takin back when I first tried it. Hyrax does that to me. Reminds me of a damp sour rag that’s been used to whip down the bar.
Hi Rich! Super excited for your thoughts! I love all Goodsir fragrances. My personal first choice for a full bottle was Corpus Equus. It’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you spend time with horses, it will really hit a core experience (something about the care & human-animal connection that is really emotional). Love your analysis about Iris Cendre & Iris Malikhan & agree very much. 🙏❤️
Yes, as you describe, Corpus Equus is the smell of the tack room, the shine & care products for the leather, the horse sweat, the hours & hours of care. It smells of the hard work of the barn. ❤️
Yeah, isn’t Duchafour known for reusing his own work product? I mean, the pace these professionals are expected to produce original work is impossible… 🤷🏻♀️
Got this sample set a while ago. Bold, loud, somewhat creative and very well crafted stuff. Not sure would wear near people though - defo not for beginners. Niche.
Think ya sold me on Bois d’Ascese Rich,but I still have a hankering for Corpus Equus ,Leather and animalic, it’s a problem lol 😂,great job Rich enjoy the better late than never summer 👍🙏✌️
Or du Serail is certainly saaweeeeeeeet. I did warm up to it though. Bois d'Ascese my other fav. Put 'em together and whatdya get?....🤔 I dunno. I've never tried it. But I f**kin' will now.
Great impressions Rich, BdA and Iris Cendre are masterpieces IMHO (and I don't overuse that word really). Nuit de Bakelite I can appreciate the artistry but not something I'd buy.
Hey Rich! I have both serail and herod and don't get a huge amount of similarities outside of a similar awesome tobacco. Herod for me is tobacco / vanilla / spices and serail is over-ripe fruit / honey / tobacco. I definately prefer Herod and its more wearable, i do like serail if i'm in the right mood but it is soooooo sweet so that isnt often
I think Herod is more wearable as it's not as rich and dense but I get a similarity (maybe in vibe more than 1-1 smell). That sweet tobacco thing has been *hammered* by now I just want it to stop lol. I'd like to see something new with tobacco 🤔

Fantastic scents and fantastic first impression! Did you send some of those over to Eugen as well? He should get his nose on these as well at some point
My two favorites from Naomi are Bois d Ascese and Cuir Velours. I haven't sampled Iris Cendre yet, but I will. Have you had the chance to sample Rania J Cuir Andalou or Hiram Greens Hyde? Corpus Equus had me think of J's Andalou. I guess that wasn't Rania's goal, but in the opening, it smelt like horse sweat. I think I'm the only person who thought of the foul foal, but I guess I don't have a lot of horse scents. Anyways, it's a bit different. Hyde, I think Hiram had the fictional character in mind when he made this one. I think it's a sample sniff for you. Raw Hyde, I like it better than Gucci Guilty Absolute, for to me it seems finished, whereas the other doesn't. I don't own anything from Ms Goodsir, but I do from Ms J and Mr Green. I do have the Absolute. I got it as a tester for free from Dillard's. Wearing JF today from Floris. Super easy wear in the heat.
The iris cendre is well worth a try, carroty and waxy. I got the bois d'ascese. I have tried the cuir andalou and I like it and I laughed at loud at the "foul foal" 🤣 I think corpus equus is more like hyrax, in a way. Its got this tangy foulness. I have tried hyde, I wasn't a fan. It was a monumental amount of birch BUT I did only try it once so I can't pass judgement
@@RichMitch i have 3. Bois D’acese, Nuit De Bakelite, and Cuir Velours. Bois D’acese is an absolute stunner. I will definitely be getting a hoarder bottle of that within the year.

Exciting! Please do let me know how you find it!
I didn't know they did a sample set
Excellent catch! I managed to snag same only because it was incorrectly listed as Hermes water! No one else bid!

The luck of the Irish or those with Irish names. Congratulations 🎈
Excellent overview. I'm a fan of the house. You made a good case for the Bois D'ascese. I'll have to circle back... Cheers✌🏻
Nice one, cheers jon

@@timetomuskup2 yes! Damp and sour. It has a tang that is a bit repellant but attractive at the same time.
Love the bar rag analogy 😂

@@RachelKNg have you smelled hyrax? There is something in there that is very similar to corpus equus

@@RichMitch I have a sample of Hyrax that I’ve yet to open! I’m now excited to do a comparison! 🙏❤️
@@RachelKNg I didn't know that about duchafour
Naomi Goodsir.
Thanks for the tip!
Pleasure, apparently there's a sample set 👀
I wore Corpus Equus the day I received it and I misjudged how hot It was outside. I almost smoked myself out 😂
😂😂😂
Awesome first impression.very interesting
Cheers m8

I think they're fairly wearable but I'd agree they're not really beginner scents 👌

Feel the same way, pretty much 🙏🏻
Appreciate this 🙏 I really am interested in this brand, don't get to excited about newer niche brands, but this one caught my attention.
Apparently they do a sample set, which could be worth your time getting 👀
@@RichMitch 🙏🙏

How do you think Bois d'Ascese would perform in London spring/summer? Wearable?
Braver than me if you wear it in summer anywhere tbh

I'd like to see something new with tobacco 🤔
@RichMitch I totally agree, have you got any favourite tobacco fragrances that aren't sweet?
@@michaela8690 have you ever smelled tobacco reserve by aramis?
@RichMitch I haven't, I'll need to give it a go! Ordering a sample of royal tobacco to see how that goes too. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@RichMitch Try these if you are bored with sweet tobaccos:

tabac grande by sultan pasha
heavenly tobacco by aromas de salazaar
tobacco pod by for the scent of it

Just got the sample set..
Bois d'ascese and Iris Cendre are very well done and wearable. Cuir velours straight up smells like Knorr soup powder🤣
Outrageous. I wasn't huge on cuir velours either, just not for me
Fantastic scents and fantastic first impression! Did you send some of those over to Eugen as well? He should get his nose on these as well at some point
Unfortunately I can't send anything Overseas because our customs will not allow 🤦🏻♂️
@@RichMitch 😖
Love Nuit de Bakelite, though it isn't for everyone. I find it ever so slightly disturbing, in a good way
It does have this weird vegetable thing going on, very unusual
you know I get that slightly disturbing feeling from both nuit de bakelite and iris cendre. they feel kind of eerie

D'Ascece I owned and it is good. Ultimately too realistically a bonfire so I sold it on.
I never thought bonfire, I'll pay attention next time I smell it
Always been intrigued by this brand
Worth a sample set imo m8
@@RichMitch yh I'll look into it
Good Sir!!!
That's me 🕴
Nice to see you have a bottle of iris cendre. First bottle I bought from them. Really unique iris.
@@timetomuskup2 its fantastic imo, what iris malikhan should have been.
What others have you got from them?
@@RichMitch that’s the only one I own at the moment.
Bro, do you even niche??
It's "bwaaa da-seez". 👍🏼
I seez what you mean
I’ve gifted 2 bottles of Or Du Serial 1 to my sister and am the other to my girlfriend. They can’t thank me enough. 😎😂.
🤣🤣🤣 do you like it on them
@@RichMitch I definitely do. I may get a bottle for the collection once I’m out of Fragrance Lockdown
@@RichMitch It is sweet. Reminds me of a ginger bread cookie before it’s baked.
@@shivavereen7824 have you tried them all? I bought two of them and would have bought the corpus equus if I hadn't already bought hyrax
@@RichMitch i have 3. Bois D’acese, Nuit De Bakelite, and Cuir Velours. Bois D’acese is an absolute stunner. I will definitely be getting a hoarder bottle of that within the year.
Good day oh good sir...let see what is good to pick up
Please let me know your thoughts!
Having nuit bakalite i like your description 😂 and cuir velour when I don't want leather to choke out people around me lol
Or du Serail is my favourite ha ha candy sweets and tobacco
If you like it, mate, wear it and be happy! No one can tell you what to like.
I'm not in to that sweet vibe, got a couple but not really my thing 🙏🏻
@@RichMitch I actually dont like overly sweet frags but I find the tobacco in this balances it out or at least stops it being sickly sweet
@@scentrailstation1780 does it remind you of herod or tobacco vanille?
@@RichMitch Dont know Herod. Tobacco Vanille not the same to my nose
@@scentrailstation1780 try it and see if you agree?
Good, Sir!
Welcome, sir
Nice, that NDB is crazy
Smells like vegetables
@@RichMitch last week the guy next to me at my local boutique sprayed it on and smelled like a hot pepper. Weird, but nice
@@fosco3183 😂 have you smelled ninfeo meo? Same energy
@@RichMitch I have not, never heard of it!
@@fosco3183 it's by goutal, check it out. Vegetal garden smell. I tried it on stick and loved it, then on skin and it smell rancid
@7:03 "Jaaa oki Nein prooblem!"
Probably tbf
Fyi with your northern accent it’s “Bwah d”I says” 😂
Nvm someone beat me to it!
