De Toma a Zouma is the best coffee fragrance I've ever smelled. Granted, I'm not a big coffee fan and I don't drink it, so I haven't smelled as many coffee based fragrances as others. Its kind of like coco blanc from house of matriarch with coffee. Beautiful. It is a perfect scent for this type of day, its snowing here! Very warm and inviting and I can see how a person will picture their family when smelling this! Amazing job Oz!!!
Mr. Oz, Congratulations, congratulations, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I received your samples and my husband and I just finished smelling them. We loved ALL of them! They are all beautiful and different and I can not wait until after the holidays when I can start my Motif Olfactif Collection! Right off the bat we really loved Nectar Boise. Mon Oasis has that feeling of relaxation and meditation you described - the lavenders are beautiful! The one that resonates with me the most is De Toma à Zouma, it brought me right back to an experience I had when I first walked into an Ethiopian restaurant we loved (sadly, they have since closed - but we have a small, family run Ethiopian restaurant by our home and the food is delicious! The most aromatic, mouthwatering spices!) That is what I smelled when I sprayed De Toma à Zouma. Fragrances are very personal and it may not be what your intention was with this fragrance, but it brought me right back to the smell of those spices and how the restaurant smelled when we dined there. We tested them on paper and we need to spray them on skin next so we can see how they interact with our chemistry. I love how unique these fragrances are and how they smell. I can imagine them as candles as well! Again, congratulations, we wish you the very best with your fragrance line!! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad you got the feeling/experience I was trying to portray with De Toma à Zouma. I hope you have fun testing them to see which ones are bottle worthy for you! Happy holidays and thank you for making my holidays even better with those kind words!
Mon Oasis sounds absolutely fantastic. Love the combination of lavender and pear with those mossy undertones and the yuzu sounds like it might give it a kick at the top. Enjoyed hearing about the inspiration for De Toma a Zouma too!
WOW!!!! Very impressed, first I have seen this today. Watched Peter over and Fragrance view I knew you were doing something just never put two and two together. Super Congratulations. Best wishes to you and will always keep up. Nice work OZ.
I just came from Peter's review; I am subbed to you, but I must have missed this video. I loved hearing about your fragrances, especially De Toma a Zouma. Your parents are brilliant! Sending you and your siblings to where they grew up and providing you with lessons you'll never forget. I'm sure they taught you how to be grateful and to also understand all their hardships and sacrifices to provide you and your family with the best life possible. It really is an amazing story! I ordered the discovery set, I don't have too many niche fragrances and what I have is not very challenging. I do not have a very sophisticated nose when it comes to perfume, but I know you worked hard to create fragrances you will be proud of and I can't wait to try them! 😊 Congratulations on the launch 🍾🥂🎉 I am genuinely happy for you!!! I wish you and your wife much success!! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
I’ve purchased some samples from you back in Decemberish I’m really liking the Voile D’encens so different from what I’ve smelt so far. Going to get a bottle soon. Just wanted to show you some love and thank you for your hard work !!
Congrats on being added to fragrantica!! I added my short thoughts on my two favorites from your brand. Probably do one for all 5 since I only have positive things to say!
Congrats! Found youre channel about 6 months ago, really like the way you describe fragrance and the unique expensive ones you choose...really gives me something to aspire to. Like the concept of the brand and the fragrances sound interesting. Def will grab a sample pack when available.
Oswald, USPS uses *RAPID ENTERPRISES INC/ STAMPS* I believe Fairly decently priced . You can use Informed Delivery with USPS too . I know your parents are proud of you, as well as all of us here on You Tube Wonderfully priced samples. Thank you so much for that. We all excited for you. Can't wait.
Wow, Oz! I am so proud of you. I experience fragrances exactly the way you do. For me, the fragrance paints a picture. I try to detect the emotion it is conveying and the picture the fragrance is trying to paint. Does this have anything to do with our heritage? Maybe. Either way, it is a great way to appreciate everything in life, not just fragrances. I wish you all the success in the world with your brand. I will definitely be getting them all after I try the sample set. I really do hope you'll be able to ship to the UK. From Abuja to Ouagadougou...we are proud of ya, buddy.
That is indeed a good way to navigate life as well! Thank you so much! It meas a lot coming from you. I am making arrangements to ship internationally! Thanks brother 🙏!
I'm positive you will make use of florals beautifully from watching your channel over the years and will do my best to support you! Congrats! Excited to try something new and unique
Well done sir. I'm pleased for you. Launching an Indie perfume house is a gigantic task but very rewarding. I see some Eden Botanicals and Perfumers Apprentice materials on your website 😉 great choice.
It's a long road but one that is fun for the most part :) . Thank you for the well wishes! From what I remember you are also working with materials? how is it going so far? There is so much to learn and it's exciting part of this hobby!
@@mroz9391 Yeah. It's going very well. I am launching my brand in June 2020 God willing. Parfums Ikram. Thank you for asking. Just busy with the website and the biggest thing (bottling and packaging). I'm having custom bottles made. Do you have any Hermitage oils? I highly recommend them if you don't have. I love your idea of having 3 lines. I have 2 lines, artisanal and niche. I must get my hands on your stuff.
Ikramuddin Zwane awesome news and the name sounds great! I think I underestimated how long it takes to bottle and make samples lol. Looking forward to your launch!
Wow you've done a wonderful job here. It was really cool hear from u the inspirations behind the fragrances. Wish u the best with ur brand. You should be very proud. Thanks for sharing. - Colin
Hello Mr. Oz, I’d like to purchase a bottle tomorrow, but I would like to know, with the country going into shutdown mode will it be a problem to ship once I order
I'n very interested in the limited fragrance you mentioned with the two different kinds of oud. I wish you the best in this venture and hope that you have great success.
Do you have a plan of how you will release fragrances in the future? like will you add one fragrance to each collection every year? Or releasing a series of fragrances at once like you did here? I'm so happy to support your brand.
Hey thanks for the question and support!! That’s a great question. The hope is to have 1 fragrance in each category ready each year. But only if it doesn’t feel rushed, is worth releasing and not redundant. For example so far I have 1 vetiver for summer and 1 limited edition probably for fall or winter that will be ready. So only two am confident would be released next year so far. I am working on a sandalwood fragrance but am not sure if it’s going to be finished for next year. I’ll be posting more updates as new releases are certain! Thanks again!
@@mroz9391 oh perfect! I'm finally wearing murmure chypre right now. Starts out a little green and quite soapy, a good floral blend, its like marigold soap on me. I never get a dirtyness really from the jasmine. Then that soapiness kinda gets replaced by an oakmoss and maybe a little tobacco while I still get a dose of marigold. Its quite nice and smells wealthy and of really good quality. My house growing up had marigolds planted all around by the front door so maybe why its so prominent to my nose. Finally the leather comes out, its kind of a light leather accord very classy, and the jasmine is taking over the marigold. I think it would smell lovely on a woman as well. Enoying this one!
@@jurryblessed4372 I am still trying to get answers for international shipping but getting nothing but confusing answers from the agents. But I will be taking orders on a need by need basis until I figure it out. Please don't hesitate to contact me for that. 🙏🏾
The website is www.motifolfactif.com and there is a discovery set of 2ml for all 5 fragrances as well as individual samples. It will be available on november 16th! Thanks for asking 🙏🏾!
Hi MrOz, congratulations and good luck in your new journey. I was watching a review and saw the name of one of your new perfumes. It's "De Toma à Zouma". Are your parents from Toma in Burkina Faso?
@@mroz9391 That's really nice. I'm from burkina faso too but, my parents are from Tougan which is not too far Toma. Actually we are from the same ethnic group.
I’m elated that I was introduced to you by The Fragrance Apprentice. I love what you are accomplishing here and will definitely become a supporter.
