Thank you. So glad those reached you safely. Can not wait you dive in to them one by one :) Yes sadly many of modern fragrance present us impressions of the ingredients. Not actuall ingredients. Oud. Musk. Ambergris. Even Tonka is replaced long ago with coumarin and other synthetic alternatives that smell much less alive then the real thing. Chinese co2 is a new generation plantation oud oil. Not the one used in Chinese oud. There we used wild vintage oud oil that way more animalic and complex. Co2 from plantation agarwood gives you very simple clean Woody resinous vanilic type of aroma. Simple and affordable oud oil just for your reference. Talking about prices... yes I feel you. I myself sometimes love a fragrance but a price tag stop me from buying it. Not because I can't afford it but because I feel that the brands are not very fair with pricing... :(
That is a great point at the end Adam... it does feel like some brands (we all know who they are) are unfair with their pricing model. I am a little amazed that even though you could clearly charge more you chose not to ... really speaks to the brand you created 🙏 Thank you again I just want you to know this gift really moved me ... one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me 🥲
This was brilliant. Thank you Ramsey. Thank you Russian Adam for sharing and being open with your materials and more importantly your thoughts and passion bravo 🙏✌🏻
Like you said in the last unboxing vid, those Spirit of Dubai samples 👌Quality. But someone who can truly appreciate those oud oils deserves them. You are worthy Ramsey. ✨
HE HAS TAKEN A LIKING TO YOU....He knows you have an inquisitive mind for ingredients...I am sure most you tube reviewers will NOT be getting any kind of gift bag. haha enjoy.because you are the chosen one NIO... AMAZING
Blessed for sure ... no matter what I just dont feel worthy of such a gift ... some of these natural ingridients are so beautiful i almost cried when I smelled them for the first time... shoulda kept the camera rolling 🙏
I'm glad you got all that stuff. You're going to enjoy smelling the actual raw materials. I have hundreds of them (launching my perfume house in July). It's very good that you'll incorporate speaking about the raw materials into this channel that's growing in uniqueness. Congratulations Ramsey.
@@RamseytheRam you definitely would make it worth. I would be over the moon to receive mermaid's tears and unicorn pee. My goodness that is great start.👌💪
Maybe you can do a Live Chat with Russian Adam when you first try some of the oils? Russian Adam did a video on a vintage Russian perfume he bought. Maybe the new release is the one Taha spoke of. Taha does Agar Aura. Ramsey. You could do a Live Chat with Russian Adam and you could both be putting on an oil at the same time. Feel Oud did a sandalwood which is pristine. 1000K I believe. Certain parts of the world, along with older perfume aficionados, like unadulterated sandalwood. So while you're sampling it, Russian Adam can explain it to you and us. I think it would be a great idea. Learning how to do live chat won't be hard. There are videos informational videos, How to Do, plus Eugene and Rich could help you. Koh-i-Noor was a perfume Russian Adam and Nikhil did. Nikhil had an idea, and Russian Adam made the perfume. Nikhil is Exotic Scents here on TH-cam. Good for you mate. Very nice things happen for those who work hard at what they love.
Wow! This is a whole new level, who'd have thought when you started out that such a thing could happen from a highly respected house. Carefully thought out as he knew your stance on free bottles, but this gift is something else. That's a lifetime of materials to train your nose or use as reference. To which all of us will share this in gaining knowledge and enjoyment of such high quality ingredients. Absolutely wonderful! On to those samples, really interesting and such exquisite presentation. Thanks for sharing and thanks to the contributers.
I am absolutely floored... honestly smelling some of the materials after I shut the video down really moved me... maybe it was a mixture of the kind act and the smells but I think these ingridients moved me in a way most perfumes never have 😊
Arabic perfumes are just on a different level. Spirit of Dubai have very good quality. The Night is closer to Mukhallat Shams by Ajmal which is a fraction of a price. That animalic oud opening and dries down to a beautiful rose. Although with Mukhallat Shams, it's something you have to spray the night before on your shirt you will be wearing the next day to smell that beautiful dry down. 😅
What an absolute pleasure to get all that from Russian Adam, that was very generous of him. Can't wait to hear your impressions. BTW that is a really good idea using ammo boxes to hold samples! 😁
Spirit of Dubai Oud is probably in the top 5 from the house for me that I've put my nose on. Possibly top 3. I've been hoarding a precious decant of it for the last year or so lol. Thanks for sharing all this with us Ramsey ✌🏻
Hi Ramsey!!! HUGE THANK YOU to the mysterious benefactor who sent the Spirit of Dubai (sharing with Ramsey is also sharing with us 🙏❤️)! HUGE THANK YOU to Heinke!!! 👀👀👀👀👀👀😮😮😮😯😯😯😯👀👀👀👀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Russian Adam!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️WOW!!! So incredibly generous! THANK YOU for sharing with Ramsey so we can all learn together!!!
I am just now opening each one of these and smelling them ..i should have kept the camera rolling ...this is like a religious experience smelling some of these 🙏
ive since bought a bottle of this and it is magnificent. ive been using ouds for 30 odd years and this is the best i have smelled. to me smells nothing like the night. the night to me is a westernised oud,it might be strong and fecal compared to other westernised ouds but id still classify it as westernised. while this unapoligetically mid eastern.
I am a big fan of Spirit of Dubai's first collection, less so the 2nd one. I really like the Oud fragrance, but like you, although extremely beautiful, I feel that it is over priced. If it was $400 or under, I'd pull the trigger. Fortunately, the other fragrances are significantly less expensive. I purchased bottles of Turath and Rimaal and love them both. Rimaal is a funny one for me as I usually hate sweet fragrances. However, this one comes off as sweet and dry and for some reason or another, I love it. The exception that proves the rule. I think you will like Medan, which has a beautiful heavy leather. I've been thinking about grabbing a bottle of that one, myself. What comes to mind for me is that it is vintage Polo green viewed through a Middle Eastern lens. Also, with the samples, you can slide of the ribbon ring off in order to unroll the scrolls that wrap around the container. Each perfume has its own write-up.
I wish I had access to more artisanal perfumes. ALD seems like heaven for perfume dorks. Can't complain though, im next door to 3 chanel boutiques and 1 of them is in my building. SOTD: Tuscan leather, from a castoreum virgin

Yes thanks so much for sharing .. I learned something new because of this video... really enjoyed this fragrance..I just dont enjoy the price point over $1000 🥲
@@RamseytheRam the funny thing is im from dubai and for that price id rather spend it on 3 or 4 perfumes 250ml chanel / hermes / dior / or any other brand
Yes I got that impression as well... i think in my video I said I would not buy it just because it is to cost prohibitive....what kind of fragrances are popular in dubai now a days??
@@RamseytheRam all trendy fragrances rogue 540 , avintos , oud esphan from dior and so nothing interesting tbh everyone copies everyone, I prefer old and classic perfumes such as Estée Lauder man coramandel from chanel and davidoff tobaco , there a fragrance i love to wear in cold weather such as cupid black , carter IIX vintage in a leather pouch , boucheron pour homme , mon habit rouge guerlain and dress code , tom ford gray vetiver , ouverture and andante from sospero , and some rose oils ( taif rose , sparta rose also called turkish rose, indian rose ) those are my summer fragrances ive mixed what i wear in summer and winter in this comment but im sure you’ll figure it out by the ingredients of every fragrance
I have never smelled any of cartier niche line ... i need to one day... i love overture man... if you like the estee lauder line try and find an old bottle of Estee Lauder Azureē .. it is an unbelievable leather chypre 🙏 Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
That's one expensive package 🤤. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of 200 proof food grade alcohol and dilute everything to 10%. Otherwise you'll go through it super quickly and won't actually be able to smell it.
Oud maximus ... its my favorite "real" oud... but that is just my opinion... I would urge you to sample them both... but for me... Bortnikoff or Areej le Dore all the way... if the Dubai Oud was a couple hundred bucks I would own a bottle .. i liked it... but I didnt love it if that makes sense 🤷♂️
Wow wow look at what you got from Adam,serious samples from a seriously true artist of the raw and undiluted unrefined real deal Oud and oil distilling master.Not worthy I heard you say, well now Rams it’s pretty obvious Adam quite definitely thinks you are fella and to my knowledge he has never given such a treasure trove to anyone else .that speaks volumes you nose and his are kindred spirits ,do you not think Adam ,a lover of all that is classic vintage has multiple fragrances from your collection himself and has been listening to you takes on them and from these reviews he can discern you have knowledge in abundance when it comes to a real knowledge of the fragrance art .Plus you rightly called out one of his collaborations ,you know of which I speak and he most probably in his heart of heart knows your truth,so to conclude I really think he now has a constructive critic of which he can trust and instead of maybe second guessing himself can look to a honest second opinion from your good self and he would be so right to do so .He is sending you all these and a sample of a unnamed new release ,imo to put you nose to a final test he will rate what you have to say on his samples knowing already in his minds eye, which ones will get you thumbs up or down and when your opinions concur with what he is expecting you to say ,he will have a top notch second nose to ask opinions on in the future. Of course I am speculating, but if I were him your exactly the perfect person for the job 👍sorry for the long winded comment (not sorry) it’s my truth 🙏✌️
Well said, it's clear Ramsey is what the French call a Nez, it's a gift. Though not qualified academically in perfumery he has that ability to sense and explain clearly without pretentiousness. That's a thoroughly plausible idea. When you see what has been created elsewhere by YT collaborations this unfolding here before our eyes is on a whole new level. We can only wish and wait.
Thank you.
