    Guerlain LES ABSOLUS D'ORIENT Fragrances Review | Santal Royal, Bois Mysterieux, Oud Essentiel+++
    My thoughts on the Guerlain Les Absolus D'Orient Fragrances Collection. It's a ranked video but there seems to be a price hike from $200 to $260 per bottle? Plus is Patchouli Ardent completely gone? Eek. It's so so good. Please watch to find out what I think of this collection and which of the 7 or 8 with Ambre Eternel is my favorite of the bunch. If you've been following me on my channel though you probably already know. Which is your favorite of these Fragrances? How would you rank this list? Please let me know, add a comment below so that I can find out. Thank you for watching.

    I wonder if I'd spend more on fragrances if my pockets were deeper. For now, samples, swaps or giveaways will have to do. I won a giveaway from Cafleurebon years ago through your page on the first try but I haven't entered any giveaways since. I think it's time I start again. However, my first buy will be DSH Vanille Botanique. I had it years ago after you suggested it and I loved it. Simply delicious. I don't think I can hang with most collectors, but I've been pretty lucky finding deals in small shops here and there. Anyway, love your videos and in depth take on fragrances. You have a true love for the art.

    I'm so happy you decided to discuss about this line. Santal Royal is one of my favs and reach for most out of my entire perfume collection. There's something about it that's so intoxicating that I can't stop smelling it on myself. It's just such a beautiful masterpiece. I purchased this bottle less than 6 months ago and just bought another back up through a discounter for only $150 (a steal) since I also noticed that the price has been going up $250+ or has become harder to find through some retailers. Anyways, I enjoyed listening to your personal opinions on each one and thought about trying others in this line, but I think I'm going to stick with my fav.

    Great video. In Europe i think the plan is to phase out Bois Mysterieux for the new Epices Exquises. If you look on the advert for the Epices, it shows the lineup at the end of it and there is no Bois Mysterieux.

    I can only excuse the price hike because I'm a pushover for Guerlain. Any other house might have triggered a personal boycott. Thank you for the BEST reviews available! You've earned my trust and respect. Keep up the great work you do. Not everyone who appreciates your videos may ever leave comments. So your fan base may be larger than you think! 🥇🏆

    I just bought this at the Duty Free - I tried the Oud / Green bottle and just fell in love immediately. I was intending to just buy a replacement for my Vetiver but this smelled very special for me. Now that I know it’s 260 in the USA I’m happy I bought it for 176 @ DUTY Free in Napoli.

    I only know four of them and I like Oud essential and Bois mysterieux. For the time being, you can still find them for around 100-110 Euros, but probably soon the prices will go up. Starting next month I know many brands that will raise their prices ( or so I've read ): Memo, Matiere premiere, L'artisan parfumeur, Le Labo, Penhaligon's, The house of oud. I don't know though if only in Italy or everywhere.
    Thank you for the video!

    Thanks Sebastian I really wanted to learn more about this line , it does sound like most of these are hard to wear . I bought a 10ML CUIR INTENSE and glad I did nice but not great . I think the only other 2 I would be interested in is BOIS MYSTERIEUX & SANTAL ROYAL if I could get a decant . The price hike is a joke IMO ... but as you said the supply chain is really a mess , it's so bad you go to KFC and their out of chicken breasts and fries and it's like wait a minute that's all you sell is FN chicken 😡😂. Either way have a great day and thanks for posting it . Cheers 😁😎

    Santal Royal is definitely my favourit. Bois Mystérieux and Encens Mythique were first launched in the Les Déserts d'Orient collection. Bois was called Songe D'un Bois d'Ete and Encens was Encens Mythique D'orient. There was also one called Rose Nacree du Desert.

    Bois Mystérieux is my beloved Songe d'un Bois d'été repackaged and renamed. I preferred the old packaging but understand why they changed the name. Thankfully, the juice is still the same. As far as the price goes, I will be thinking long and hard before buying any others in this line. I just bought a back up of Bois Mysterieux on Saks Off Fifth. The only other place I could find it was Dillards and they have 2 bottles left. I wonder if this going to be discontinued or not sold in the USA going forward.

    I first bought Oud essentiel, my wife loves it. In the air smells great, but strong and a bit chemical if you put your nose on your arm. Then I bought Boix Mystérieux, at the store I liked it but at home it took my some tries and I finally like it. Funny you notice they are similar in some way, I notice that also. This line is to smell in the air, the sillage, not at all in your arm with the nose at one inch. Great channel!

    I've been looking for this video ever since I got into this Guerlain collection. Bois Mysterieux grew on me for sure but personally Encens Mythique and then Musc Noble, Oud Essentiel and Santal Royal are my favourites. Cuir Intense and Patchouli I absolutely hated and only ones I don't own from this collection. The famous one that preceeded this collection was Rose Nacree du Desert which my guy at Guerlain said to me was basically a mix of Oud Essential and Musc Noble. In terms of prices - even Harrods is cheaper than what you are saying about US prices.

    Hi Sebastian. Recently, I bought Guerlain "Bois Mysterieux" and "Encens Mythique". "Bois Mysterieux" instantly has become one of my favorite fragrances. It might even be in a tie for first with my two favorite fragrances, which are Amouage "Jubilation XXV Man" and V Canto "Mea Culpa". I've had a lot of excellent fragrance discoveries this year, (e.g. Amouage "Imitation Woman", "Brioni For Men EDP Intense", and more) but "Bois Mysterieux" is probably my favorite discovery this year.

    I adore Santal Royal, but I agree it's not particularly Sandalwood forward. I get much more rose and oud, with just hints of sandalwood. When I first bought it I found it overwhelming to my nose, but I'm not sure if I've gotten used to it or if it's calmed down over the years, I now really enjoy the scent. Beautiful to me. Complex, but I find it well blended enough that it's not *too* complex.

    From what I understand, alcohol has been used more within the past couple of years on disinfecting products ie hand sanitizer, wipes and so on. I think there is a shortage of alcohol in perfumery due to the pandemic. Possible…but not 100% certain

    I've always enjoyed collecting Guerlains and I really love these bottles but its hard to stay interested with that price hike! I feel like there are better options out there. Tom Ford Private blends have been creeping up in price in the one department store in my city that sells them. Welp I haven't checked Chanel but I had planned on getting a bottle of Coromandel for my birthday, maybe I shouldn't have waited!

    Cuir Intense for me it is one of the best leather fragance I have EVER smell. It is so complex, provocative, animalic, rebel in a bottle !! It screams power. It is magnificent and last easily a week in clothes. If we compare to Tom Ford Ombre Leather(which is weaker),TF will be an exact replica of a fresh new car as for Cuir Intense,it will be *Intense* and artistic. 10/10

    To me Santal Royal goes in the same direction as Armani’s Rose D’Arabie and Louis Vuitton Les Sables Roses. If I wanna feel sexy and a bit yummy I go for the Armani o e, if I wanna feel sexy and misterious I go for the LV one, and if I wanna feel just misterious, a bit detached and boss woman like, I spray on Santal Royal and I’m pretty sure anyone that can smell me gets the idea ☺️

  • @storkonstage

    I have a 75 ml bottle of Santal Royal. I am not that happy with it. To mine opinion the rose is to prominent in the blend. I don’t smell a nice warm creamy sandalwood. The performance is very good. On clothes it lasts for days. But the frag is not a winner for me. Lovely bottle though. Nice to have one in the collection. (Did I hear the rumor Thierry Wasser is no longer the Guerlain head perfumer?).

    I own them all except Patchouli Ardent, which I have not sampled. I think I’ll pick it up tomorrow.
    I remember reading that Wasser sourced a real chunk of ambergris for Ambre Mystérieux. Maybe they ran off of the tincture and that’s why it was limited? More realistically, I think it just wasn’t popular and I can see why. But again, Cuir Intense is still selling…

      Got my Patchouli Ardent yesterday and I like it better than I expected. The rose and fig mix very cleanly with the patchouli.
      I also saw that elusive 200ml of Santal Royal in the shop, though I’ve only seen the box and not what the bottle looks like. That confirms that it’s their best seller from the line.

  • @raulsaavedra709
    @raulsaavedra709 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow major price hike indeed. I believe it's because of the global inflation that's happening. Some basic manufacturers as well as major transportation are facing increased costs, and pushing out higher prices, and that is trickling down into all industries worldwide apparently.
    Bois Mysterieux is wonderful! I do pick the cumin as well, and in general cumin is challenging for me. But there are two great exceptions: Memo Paris African Leather, and Guerlain's Bois Mysterieux. Both of these fragrances are so magnetic and intriguing, and I believe that touch of cumin within their respective profiles in fact helps them be so.
