I’m glad you are getting into Profumum. It’s a top 5 house for me.
Brilliant house Glitch... thanks for watching 🍻
This is absolutely wonderful Ramsey. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you Andy... good to see you my friend 🤌🤌🤌
Excellent video Ramsey, ive always seen good things said about this house. I should grab some decants.
Definately worth a sniff Cullen 🙂
Brilliant work, Ramsey. This is very much an overlooked composition when Profumum Roma is being discussed, and I’m not sure why. It blew me away when I first tried it in one of their Rome boutiques, and part of that was the surprise that this could smell so good yet receive little to no attention. Thanks for taking the time to correct that injustice.
💯& Nick! I feel the same way... thanks so much for sending me such a generous decant brother 🙏🙏🙏
Glad to see you finally exploring some Profumum Roma! Despite their linearity (and their most recent launches), they're one of my favourte Houses 😁 I do have a bit of a hard time with Fiore d'Ambra. Something about it doesn't click with my skin. I have to revisit it soon. Now Ambra Aurea is one of my favourite ambers (up there with Ambre Sultan)! That slightly animalic opening and the super rich feeling ambergris and labdanum, oh my!
I need to sniff that one soon!
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Love this one!
It is a true under the radar gem 💎
Indeed I don't recall anyone talking about this particular one from the brand. Going to try it! In fact I was going to get some samples from this brand today and I have added this one at the last moment based on your review. :)
Thx
That makes me happy as I think it is very underrated... do report back and let me know what you think 🙏🙏🙏
It's really nice; I love it. It also reminds me of something from my childhood and completely transports me back, but I can't remember exactly what that is. It's not just a single moment, but the whole feeling of being a kid again, a series of events. Absolutely brilliant, I need a bottle!!!
I specifically re-watched this video in hopes of figuring out what it is that just does it for me. If I think harder, it could be the poppy note, reminiscent of all those walks on the endless hills covered in red poppies during the hot spring days.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful story 🙂
Love this house. Top 3 for me. 👍👍. Hope your well. Crazy busy summer.
Thanks Daver doing as well as possible.... such a solid house this is indeed 🙂
Hello Ramsey, after your review I was intrigued and gave it a try. I was so amazed ! I'm totally agree with you're review. It really smells like a vintage. It is tamed down to the perfection so that you can really enjoy the amber signature of it and all his layer. It is if the composition goes on the abstract territory. It is not sticky in my book. On the contrary, it is very refine and addictive. Thanks a lot for you're review. I ended with 2004 bottle, almost 20 years !
So happy my review got you to try this gem 💎🙂
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Awesome presentation as always. My SOTD was ARSO and was totally a blind buy. Living in Seoul the heat has been scorching and lets just say ARSO being so light it worked out well and lasted about 3 hours after multiple sprays. Two days of wearing it and the summer vibes are in full swing cheers.
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Hi Ramsey.
The correct pronunciation is "Fiore" as you read it. Well done on the review.
Greetings from Italy.
Thank you for watching🇺🇲🇮🇹
I bought Meringa years ago after visiting Osswald. Arso is great. Not my favorite from the house but it’s great as a barbershop! Thundra is possibly my favorite as a composition. So wild!
Oh man - you can look forward to trying Ambra Aurea - that for me is as good as amber gets.
I hear great things about it ..
Cant wait 🤗
Great take buddy. I used to have a decant of this one but don't know which batch it was, for me it was absolutely unwearable: civet and aldehydes overdose under a stripped YSL Opium base (I've tried from the bottle too and it wasn't a fake). Ambra Aurea on the other hand was great, one of the best ones of the genre 💕
You got civet from this? I could maybe see some aldehydes but man I wish I got civet... i need to sniff Ambra Aurea soon
Thanks for watching Gonzalo 🤌🤌🤌
Rome through the smoke !
Interesting house.
Since I love Fig note, I will try Ichnusa from this house.
Acqua di Sale is their best seller in the summer.
Thank you Ramsey for this short review.
Scent Of The Night : Chanel - Bois des Illes ( 2004.)
Cheers...
Beautiful house indeed Dušan ..
Bois Des Îles is primo juice brother 🤌🤌🤌
@@RamseytheRam
It is really, really good, indeed !
I love this brand and have been on it since 2016. Arso is King of the brand with Ambra Áurea a close second IMO. There are so many I love including Orangea, Sorriso and my summer staple Acqua Viva. This one is also amazing … a bit underrated.
Yes more people should be talking about this one for sure 🙏🙏🙏
Coincidentally today in the 115 degree Vegas weather i wore ambra avrea today on one arm and Le lion on the other to try and compare the ambers and there's quite a bit of similarities but ambra avrea is just a more dense and sappier amber with a very nice frankincense while le lion is focused more on the labdanum. Truly enjoyed both in this heavy heat, i don't follow these guides of use ambers in winter non sense. Also, got to tried profumum roma patchouli and it's that vintage type of dirty patchouli. I have patchouli essential oil and it has some slight vibes of that. Reminds a tad of Frederic malle monsieur, the patchouly at least. Dark, dirty and rugged patchouli. Enjoyed it also.
Yup I agree with everything you said my friend except I have yet to smell ambra aurea although I think I have a few drops floating around thanks to Paloa 🤌🤌🤌
@@RamseytheRamI'm really wondering what you're gonna think of Ambra avrea because I know you love amber absolute and Ambra avrea might be that lost brother that you might be missing when you don't want to pay those crazy high price on amber absolute. Ambra avrea is not as dense as amber absolute but overall it tickles the same itch and I'm so glad I blind bought it. I won't need to find a back up bottle of amber absolute any more(unless a very cheap one falls in my lap)
@@pullingthestrings5233 wow I cant wait to smell it 🤌🤌🤌
The heat is my favorite time to wear sweeter perfumes. I just tried Ambre Sultan in the heat and it actually seemed more dry!
That is a great point! Sometimes the heat brings out elements of a fragrance you wouldnt smell in the cold 🥵🥶
Please for through some of your decants - I have some offspring there!! And I love when you do samples and first impressions.
Thank youu for the support 🙏🙏🙏
I have owned both. Ambre Aura is straight up labdanum with smokey nuance. At one point it was in my top three. I also like Fiore a lot but never kept either in the end only because they were victims of my cull. I only wanted a modest no of bottles.
Lots of people do the culling... where as I am shooting for a museum 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 🍻
Tried a couple when I made a pilgrimage to the perfume emporium Jura Rose works in (sadly Jura was not there at that venture) and indeed the house is really something for sure ,don’t think I tried this one and my nose was shot to hell lol😅. However I will return for sure . I did however procure a 20ml extract of Teatro Alla Scala,man I see what ya mean Rams and also La Dix Parfum plus Its sister Quadrille. I’m on a (never thought I’d say this ) a pure Feminine Parfum buzz right now and man have I been sleeping under a rock lol😅,superb stuff . Cheers buddy take it handy ✌️🙏👍
It is unreal how good some of those "feminine" frags from back in the day were... they will knock you out 🥊
You mentioned Opium: I wore Opium in the late 70s and early 80s. It was my winter signature scent.
It is one of my all time favorite fragrances 🤌🤌🤌
Just trying ''Ambra Aurea', my first foray into the house. Smells like smoky liquid Werther's Originals. Very nice, and perfect for our Scottish summer - 60F, pouring rain, and 20mph wind. Keen to try more, specifically Ambra di Fiore, Patchouli, Arso, and Dulcis in Fundo.
Smokey Werthers original ?😂😂😂
That actually sounds amazing
@@RamseytheRam first impressions, definitely fbw.
I love Profumum Roma. Even their citrus scent Acqua Viva lasts forever!
Cant wait to smell that one... thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Profumum Roma is my favorite house! Volo Az 686 is favorite fragrance.
Never smelled that one Jason but it is on the to sniff list indeed ... thanks for watching & commenting 🙂
Eric says it smells like Jet fuel, would you say that? 😂
@@pullingthestrings5233 I didn't get jet fuel!
@@javoneldridge8046 😞 i kinda was hoping it did 🥴🤣
If you want jet fuel / gasoline get the vintage Amouage Portrayal Man bottles with the name on the side of the bottle or Parfums Quartana Ierofante or SMN Nostalgia has a bit of gasoline the opening and of course for a petrol vibe Dior Fahrenheit
Thundra is my favorite from this house. Minty earthy patchouli
I need to sniff Thundra soon!
Thanks for watching 🥂
Serge Lutens's "Cedre" is an amber in the realm of Fiore d'Ambra and it is very good. Both are timeless. Cèdre (Cedar) is less heavy with the cinnamon...really nice. Have a sniff and tell me what you think if you can. Cheers.
I actually own a bottle of Cedre
Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
If you were choose would you pick this or the Patchouly for a full bottle purchase? is it a draw or clear cut winner for one on your part
Thats a tough question ... I dont think either gets a clear advantage because I could wear other perfumes in my collection that scratch the same itch for both styles.
But even that being said I think both are full bottle worthy 🤌🤌🤌
Monserrat Caballé is that fat opera lady that is singing in Teatro alla Scala, as I can imagine, although Diana Damrau is unmatched (the best coloratura soprano) !
Aria of this night :
The marriage of Figaro - Non piu andrai...
Yes! We need a fat opera lady to sing for this one 🍻
Hello, I want to ask... Is this perfume also suitable for autumn and winter?... Thank you
Its made for the autumn & winter IMHO
Profumum Roma is the house you don’t want others to find out about and secretly keep it to your own enjoyment
😂😂😂
I know EXACTLY What you mean 🙏
First 😊
🐏🥇
Another reformulated fragrance, before it was richer. Searching vintage bottle. Sorry my google translate english 😅
I didnt know Profumum Roma had reform issues... i have never experienced anything like that from the house
