I love that you are loving these. I have the whole line up and they are all the bomb. Iris Empire, Gold Incense, Gold Myrrh Absolute, Amber Desire, all great.
I'm sure someone already requested it but..Iris Empire! I too love Iris, definitely my favorite note in perfumory. Excellent review, I could practically smell it as you explained it. G.O.A.T 👏
Solid and informative vid. Herrera’s private line neroli is nice but def leans feminine, due to whit florals (I gave it to my mom). Believe that this line, although advertised as unisex, is more geared for women. There’s a CH store on the UES of NYC (east 75th street) near where I live and I once showed up in jeans and T-shirt and asked whether they sold men’s fragrances. The manager gave me a snooty look and quickly dispatched me to the exit. Guess that’s a no.
Sad how society is trying to gear MEN to buy or seek towards feminine products especially feminine frags....it's quiet evident that society is attempting to convert MEN to be softer or weaker in a sense 🤦🏼♂️
I would love to see how you would like Amethyst Haze. It has lavender and coffee and those two notes automatically remind me of Armani Attitude although I bet it's quite different.
I have most of this line and they are really amazing. This is one of my favorites of the line. I have a decant of Oud couture but probably won’t buy it. Just over Oud. I’m on the fence with Platinum Leather. Just a well crafted line in my opinion.
Hey Ash. Can you review the Madison Alhambra clone? You did the matching tobacco version and I got it based on your review. It’s the best tobacco fragrance as u said. 💪🏽💪🏽
I just ordered the whole lineup in decants, had to order from 3 different sites because nobody carries the whole lineup or has all of it in stock looking forward to it.
Feels like ever since Tom Ford did the private line style, so many designers are following suit. Not sure if doubling down on this idea is good though 😑
A lot of designers made niche lines in their fragrances since like the 80’s, it’s just that almost all of them were duds because they were actually niche and lacked mass appeal to justify not being discontinued. Tom Ford just popularized it by managing to land some absolute hits when he started the line
Hi Ash, glad that You made this review. When You made the one of Oud of this privare carrolina, I asked You if You can try this one. I was adviced in Beirut Airport to try it and it blown my mind. What a beautiful fragrance. It is on my list too
I was recently getting nightfall patchouli, mystery tobacco and others for around 180 USD on duty free, but didn't buy. I am kicking myself right now. Loved nightfall patchouli but it smelled similar to something I had and after lots of brainstorming picked up that its like One Million Prive. Though I have Angel's Share and decant of Side effect and have seen people comparing it to that one but one million prive is way more close to it.
why do you put your nose right on the sprayed spot? A good perfume should allow you to experience the notes pyramid from a distance, without drawing closer to the perfume
It's actually pronounced Laz you lie, it comes from Lapis Lazuli which is why both the box and bottle are blue. I'm not being pedantic Ash, the name is derived from Latin, great review by the way.
No idea why Ash of all people would buy this instead of Iris Empire as his second of the line. Anyway, I sampled Saffron Lazuli a couple of years ago and didn't care for it. You have to REALLY love saffron for this one to be bearable. There's an overdose of it.
Really disliked this whole line, seems to attempt to replicate existing fragrances and capitalizing on their success, although I don’t think it achieved that considering how little attention it has gotten.
Does anyone know where to buy these in the US? I live in NYC and cannot find it anywhere. @nun chuck - I can confirm the CH NYC boutiques don’t carry it and you cannot order it on their US website. I finally found Mystery Tobacco at Harrods in London but would like to avoid international shipping.
I love that you are loving these. I have the whole line up and they are all the bomb. Iris Empire, Gold Incense, Gold Myrrh Absolute, Amber Desire, all great.
Love this line..
So underrated!! My favourites are nightfall patchouli and Mistery Tobacco
I have most of the fragrances in this line and I love them all! Great video ❤
dropping big bills to entertain and educate us. Thank you so much Ash! All the best!!!
Amazing Fragrance its so addictive and different. Absolutely love Carolina
I'm sure someone already requested it but..Iris Empire! I too love Iris, definitely my favorite note in perfumory. Excellent review, I could practically smell it as you explained it. G.O.A.T 👏
Gold Myrrh Absolute is my favorite, it alchemyse my mood, is absolute stunning
Definitely one I want to test. Nightfall Patchouli sounds interesting as well.

Seems sweet and feminine is the route many houses are taking.

I've wanted to try Mystery Tobacco for some time now... but I love Mancera Red Tobacco and I don't know if I want to pay the price for the redundancy
Gold Myrrh Absolute the favorite, along with True Oud more than Oud Couture honestly.
Ok I just ordered the discovery set, which was suprisingly affordable. Apparantly they also do 20ml travel sprays of some of their fragrances 👌🏼

Can you review others from that colletion?
Ash, have you gotten a chance to try True Oud from this line? Definitely worth a look.
Nightfall patchouli and amber desire are awesome! You should try them.
Hey ASH, nice good review and have a great week peace ✌️ 🇬🇧
I just ordered the whole lineup in decants, had to order from 3 different sites because nobody carries the whole lineup or has all of it in stock looking forward to it.
Enjoyed Ash, I own MYSTERY TOBACCO so this should be just as good 👍
Hey ash there’s a clone called exclusif saffron by maison Alhambra I got from fragbuy. Would be interested if it’s at all close to lazuli
How are you liking it so far?
@@johnOXman I also have tobacco exclusif for mystery tobacco. The dry down is really nice
Great first impressions video and I enjoyed it and can you do a full review when you test it out and have a blessed day
Ash, can you try Iris empire? I really want that one
Please do a review on montal Arabians tonka
Just ordered Iris Empire from this line. Fragrancebuy has some been looking for it for a month now lol
Is it a thumbs up?
@@Ahmed-alhashmi for me it is. I love Iris and it does it well. It’s not a projection monster on my skin but it last a long time and smells amazing
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ash so jazzed during a video before.
can you please do velve oriental musk D&G ?
I'll vote Amethyst Haze for the next one
You love iris so maby give trye Iris Empire - 4,53 score... Bronze Tonka / Amethyst Haze should be interesting.
Hey Ash, are you going to get the new FM Uncut Gem? It's out now on Saks for 15% off.
Many say it smells like side effect? Is this true?

Is that a legit site to buy from?
i can't find this anywhere online (Eu)
Please review Oud Couture
Are any of them as good as gold myrrh absolute?
Hi Ash, glad that You made this review. When You made the one of Oud of this privare carrolina, I asked You if You can try this one. I was adviced in Beirut Airport to try it and it blown my mind. What a beautiful fragrance. It is on my list too

Fall/Winter?? Or Spring?
why do you put your nose right on the sprayed spot? A good perfume should allow you to experience the notes pyramid from a distance, without drawing closer to the perfume
does it smell like the color of the bottle ?
Try the iris empire ch
It's actually pronounced Laz you lie, it comes from Lapis Lazuli which is why both the box and bottle are blue. I'm not being pedantic Ash, the name is derived from Latin, great review by the way.
How much they pay you?
No idea why Ash of all people would buy this instead of Iris Empire as his second of the line.
Anyway, I sampled Saffron Lazuli a couple of years ago and didn't care for it. You have to REALLY love saffron for this one to be bearable. There's an overdose of it.
got my nose on Iris Empire and it is great, but you can't find it from what I know outside the Middle East
Blue milk
Iris empire please
🤘💪👊
Knowing how much Ash loves oud he should go for the True oud for man next
Slightly similar to Side Effect
i don't care how good a fragrance smells its still not worth over 200 bucks
Who blind buy's a $200+ frag?
Ash, I guess.
Sure he bought it?
I did. Its on the way

The CH store at 954 Madison Ave carries the line. Before discounters started carrying them I ordered a couple over the phone from this store.
They are a great line but they are weak
Because its price, could you recommend an alternative fragrance which has the same smell? 🥹
