    Hi Ash...I agree with your initial reaction. However, after about 15 minutes Noble Oud settles down nicely and smells just like their 18.21 Noble Oud body wash. I think you should give the dry down a try and create a follow up video for 18.21 Noble Oud. I even received a couple of compliments the first day which is rare.

    I purchased at least 5 bottles of the OG 18.21, kept a few for myself and gifted the others. I've been waiting since 2017 for them to release a new fragrance. Today I saw a video by Redoessense, and as per usual he gave it a glowing review and said nothing negative about it. Then I come across your video, absolutely ripping it to shreds.
    To be fair, I trust neither of you all that much. Redo criticizes nothing and praises everything like a corporate stooge, and you will give 10/10 as long as a fragrance is sickly sweet and has a half-life of 72 hours.
    Most opinions I've seen about this fragrance lean very favorable. Seems possible that you either got a flawed product, or you hate it since it is not sickly sweet raised to the tenth power.
    Definitely going to try this one out for myself to be sure.

    I have it and I like it. I actually like it better than the Sweet Tobacco Spirits - although the Sweet Tobacco body wash, face lotion, and body lotion are all amazing. The Noble Oud Spirits is okay upon application; however, it really shines after 1/2 an hour or so. I have the same experience with the Noble Oud body wash.

  • @JT-rx1eo
    @JT-rx1eo ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, what a brutal review. Although I can see how some would be put off by Noble Oud's scent profile, I'm going to have to disagree with this review. Bad review. Not because Ashton doesn't have a sophisticated nose or developed appreciation or anything like that. We just have a Rorsach-type difference on this. Or, he isn't interpreting the scent profile the same way I am. Roja Burlington 1819. Take that and mix it with Houbigant Bois Mystique, or Burlington 1819 and Bois Mystique/Creed Royal Oud hybrid. It's the Burlington 1819 comparison that gives Noble Oud that "high pitched" citrus characteristic Ash alluded to. The "bright lemon rind" and "ripe grapefruit" of Noble Oud equates roughly to the grapefruit and lemon of Burlington 1819. It gives it a sort of screechy, quasi sour accord that some may find offputting but I find interesting and not offputting. And I don't agree with Ashton re incense. I do get an incense-like accord that I assume has something to do with the "smokey oud" note. I also don't agree with Ashton that Noble Oud doesn't have any depth. I think it has depth. I think this is just a Rorsach like difference in noses.

Perhaps they didn't care for the honest review below ;): Imagine my delight when it was announced that there would be a new 18.21 Man Made fragrance released. I had such high hopes, especially given that the original fragrance is one of my favorites. I knew this would be a departure from the original which made this purchase even more intriguing. The notes are extremely misleading and the fact that it had Oud in the title but nothing resembling a natural or synthetic oud note exists was more than disappointing. Again, I was not expecting real oud for $65, however I have many frags that can emulate that note well, but this is not one of them. It smells like a Mrs. Meyer cleaning product which isn't the worst thing, but considering the fragrance description on the website, this is not on par with the quality usually produced here. Longevity AND Projection is atrocious, its gone in 30 min. Such high hopes, yet so disappointed.
