I agree 100%. When I first tested this, I was surprised it was more rose-spice forward than I expected. It’s nice enough but wasn’t enough for me to buy.
Cheers Marc,yeah I skipped this one when I heard it wasn’t a Patchouli centric fragrance ,so I figured it would be close to others in my collection from the line and bingo you confirmed my suspicions,thanks for that . Amber Eternal would be high on my list but I won’t pay silly bugger prices ,so I don’t think I will have me a bottle anytime soon lol . Great review much appreciated man 🙏✌️👍
Nice fragrance. My favorite is Ambre Eternel but it was discontinued. They moved the line for the Aqua Allegoria new line and discontinued Bois Mysterieux and a couple more.
I have two from this line, Santal Royal and Encens Mythique. Both of which I love (SOTD being Santal Royal). Didn't smell this one when I was last in a Guerlain boutique. Traveling in April and will probably have an opportunity to smell this one. Though, your discussion of the rose in here makes me wonder if it would be a bit redundant with the rose in Santal Royal.
@@robes08You and I have very similar noses. I love a good dank castoreum fragrance, so I HAD to buy Homa after I tested it. The goat hair tincture in there is super edgy. They have a good bit of animalic selections, but their ouds and ambers are so good that it took me probably six-seven months to really analyze the complexities fully after wearing them. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you for being honest about all the reviews you do. It’s super refreshing and gives me something to look for or note the next time I sniff a sample. 👍👍
I liked the bottle I was going to pull the trigger but I didn't, I'm glad I didn't buy it, sounds interesting but not great. Thanks for the Samplin' Marc!!!
Marc, I've noticed that you have nothing on the house of Costume National. I know you've heard of the brand. But I was wondering if you had any bottles? Please try Soul first
Hi Mark, I bought a new bottle of Knize Ten by your suggestion to my riquest for a good leather fragrance. I find the fragrance interesting, more floral than leathery, but overall a good fragrance. Unfortunately on my skin doesn't last long enough though... I have guerlain cuir intense in my collection and rien intense incense and I'm going to buy memo Iberian leather... Have you got any other suggestion for a great leather fragrance? Thx
Uncle Marc pumping out the vids I love it and I'm here for it 🙌🏽 ❤

100% can see that, really rose dominant.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏

Much love Bren!

☹ i figured that's what happened. Thanks for confirming.
Interesting...I stayed clear of this as my wife does not enjoy patchouli......I also didn't expect a fig note to be present and Indo enjoy fig..
keep in mind the fig is MILD with a capital M.
Very informative. Hurt my heart not much patchouli. I own 2 from this lineup and this was going to be #3. Might still be.
Don't make me stop you, I just inform what I sniff, still a good scent.
Excellent review.
BTW - Nice design on your cloak. It looks esoteric!!!

I correlated that this one smelled familiar from other of the line, so it may be redundant.
Excellent review Marc 👏 thank you sir.
My pleasure!
I would love to hear your take on the fragrances of Prin Lomros. Super complex and very artistic perfumery.
I do have samples somewhere in this room lol

exactly that, interesting and good but kinda the same vein as the others in the line.
I have this and yes a different patchouli my fave is Ambre Eternel Bois Mysterieux, Santal Royal and Cuir Intense Tfs your thoughts
Solid line indeed.
Ambre Eternel, Bois Mysterieux discontinued 🤐
Spot on. 👌
Light has been added.

No bottles... yet. They have been on my radar for years.

You have some nice leathers Cuir intense lasts a long time
@@Indecencealicia Yes, cuir intense is a Beast! Very good leather fragrance, very long lasting and powerful (it's a 2-4 sprays)
leather hmmm - Leather Oud by Dior, Cuir by Mona Di Orio are my one-two punch.
Great video
Appreciate you my friend! Thanks for stopping by
Not much patchouli ? That's not groovy 😞
Not very groovy indeed.
