You are making so many reviewers look bad and lazy. You’re pushing out Mad content… non-Lataffa content thankfully.
Non- Lattafa content 😂😂😂
Thanks so much my friend... hopefully I am making them look bad in a respectful way... the 🐏 doesnt want to diss anyone... well maybe one or two people 😂😂
@@RamseytheRam Those that are use to being “gifted” bottles are getting exposed. This recession has caused perfume brands to become stingy…. It’s shows. There must be 400 Lataffa reviews on TH-cam now. Just review older bottles in their collection… if they haven’t pawned them all off. 🤩
@@shivavereen7824 thats a great point... we want to continue to improve & get stronger as time goes on 💪🐏
L’Heure Bleue is probably my all time very beloved perfume in both the EDT and the EDP. Ramsey, thanks for this video and I like your opinions!
It is such a special perfume... every second wearing it is an honor 😊
Great video, so much effort put and very informative. One noteworthy mention in this category could be Rasasi’s Boruzz line. Asrar Indonesia, Roh al Assam, Abeer Malaysia and Atheer Cambodi. All of them are unique and beautiful. This set can easily compete with The Spirit of Dubai range in complexity and quality of the materials. Unfortunately, not easy to acquire them in the Us.
Yes I have never smelled any of those lines you mentioned... maybe one day soon... I do hear good things about them from other people I trust ... thanks for watching & commenting 😊
I just saw a review of the Abeer Malaysia as a tobacco fragrance. It was highly praised. I looked it up on Fragrantica and it appears to be discontinued.
@@JT-rx1eo Yes, Abeer has a listed tobacco note in it. Some people say that the whole range is discontinued, but Asrar Indonesia seems to be the one which is usually available.
great list and love your channel, you mentioned you wanted to try other le gemme series, i would suggest you trying the le gemme orom out. its a dry vanilla resin oud scent that dries down into a beautiful vanilla scent. it becomes sweeter as it dries down but its not a sweet scent by any means.
Nice it is on the to sniff list 🐽
Thanks for the kind words
Massive effort and extremely instructional video on a mine field fragrance topic ,long debated and dissected ,I will simply quote MC Hammer “Can’t Touch This “salute Rams ,mission complete and achieved 👏🏻👏🏻🙏👍✌️
😂😂😂
🕺🕺
couldnt agree more!
You have opened my taste to classics I was the guy wearing light blue and eros .
Thank you and welcome to the club... you are just entering the Rabbit hole... so much to explore 🐰
Pure. gold... your content, Ramsey. Insane. The trove of information, each and every one you put out. I still need to get to the prior oud overview. Happen to also share a simliar view as you on Saffron for Ok-ness, for starters. Do you by chance notice any (slight) similarities between Nuit de Fau and Falkar? Some of Cavallier's work between both lines (espessially the ouds) remind me of each other too (bwdiknow🤷🏼♂), but I do appreciate them as I do the crafter ND. And have you tried Prolixe from Hist.dParfums? Another from them that's muy 👌- I've been hunting Ambrarem haha. Anyhow, this channel of yours here is now starting to overshadow my typical day to day podcasts haha 🙏✌
...pardon the novel there^ ha
Thank you for the very kind words.... i do notice similarities between Cavalliers work across different lines... the Bvlgari & Louis Vuitton lines are great examples of this... interestingly enough they are priced similar & both owned by LVMH... i bet the level of ingridients or even the exact materials are overlapped with different compositions
@@RamseytheRam makes sense to me! Too bad both brands' lines are both overpriced imo at retail too - are nice scores as "grey market grabs" haha
Yes exactly I got a 98% full Falkar for 200 bucks... thats more like it 😁
Basically just watched both 'oud' episodes back to back. Absolutely symphonic, and a great reference tool for anyone interested in digging deeper into this precious material.
Wore Floris' Leather Oud yesterday for the first time. Initial imression was a bright, citrussy leather, and a hint of medicinal oud. Made me think of opening a box of quality leather shoes.
Ohhhh that sounds pretty good... I have never smelled a Floris before in my life ... i need to get on that 🍻
@@RamseytheRam shockingly my first time trying anything from the brand.
Feel almost embarrassed to say...
I'm a big Floris guy and have Leather Oud. It's pretty strong, and yes, a bit medicinal. I like it though. It's a little like Aqua di Parma Oud. Try Floris Honey Oud though. It was my honey holy grail before I got Pacoma Gatsby.
@@JT-rx1eo next on my list!
My favorite designer oud is "Stronger with you: Oud". I also really hate Oud for Greatness
Oud for hateness !!!
Never smelled Stronger with you Oud🤔
Oud for Hate-ness is pretty funny 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam
...but for wife's good mood
you just need oud wood !
@@RamseytheRam Basically a lesser Oud satin mood extract if you replace the rose with vanilla
I would recommend checking out some of the Armani Prive's, Oud Royal and Rose D'Arabie. If im correct, Rose D'Arabie was one to start the whole rose/oud trend, and its really beautiful for the winter.
Nice thanks for the recs.. heard of them but still havent smelled them yet 🍻
"New fish guy" 😄
🎣
We need to reel him in... before he destroys Amouage even more 😂
I’m not a big Oud fiend but I have and love my Oud Palao and scratches the itch perfectly for me. I also have Banana republic Oud Mosaic which is good for a cheapie.
Never smelled a Banana Republic fragrance🤔 🍌
Thanks so much for watching & commenting 🍻
Creed Royal Oud is a love! Consider myself very fortunate to have an old 120ml bottle (2016 batch). Such a classy and elegant fragrance! My favourite Creed! Deserve the number 1 spot 🙂..
Oumma by Stéphane Humbert Lucas is a gorgeous Oud fragragrance worth sampling. The blending is super smooth and I believe he used real Oud in it, smells kinda like burning bakhoor. 🙏
I was lucky enough to sample Oud 777 and I really liked it... smelled like a high end Amber frag with a touch of oud... i would like to dive more into the house and see what other gems he is sitting on 🤌🤌🤌
Black Gemstone
Oumma
Panthea Iris
O Hira
I believe these fragragrances from this house are worth trying, they are creative and original. His recent releases are sadly mainstream crowd pleasers, like hundreds of other niche houses are doing!
Ahhh yes ... i can see that .. thanks for telling me which ones to try... will try and sniff them and report back 😊
I like Guerlain's Santal Royal more than I thought I would. It's screaming synthetic glory just hits the spot sometimes, especially on a cold snowy night.
Yes I know exactly what you mean .. I was worried I was going to hate it... and luckily I dont 😊
Its ny wife's signature scent
Oud palao is the best oud from a western house imo
It is very very good isnt it? Best bang for ur buck oud?🤔
🐏🦆
@@RamseytheRam surely, can't think of anything better
received a full bottle of musk aoud the other week (bought the last bottle in sweden before it was discontinued). sometimes i am worried because i am anosmic to it, but i know that other times i have worn it i have liked it. my favorite is the original aoud, it is so strong and dark :)
Yeah I like the original Aoud better than Musk Aoud.... honestly i think Musk Aoud is a good perfume it is just very quite on me... thanks so much for watching & commenting 😊
Silver oud is super fkn good, i just bought a back up bottle. i tried with stercus, but it just wasnt siting w/ me. jubi will always be a masterpiece, this new one BETTER perform!!
It is the best fragrance they have made under the new creative director since chong left ... salmon the fishman 😑
Dunhill's Icon has 'oud'??? I've never gotten it from my bottle. The Absolute maybe... That and Royal Oud the two non-oudy standouts of the bunch. Strange how quickly the designer oud fad fizzled though. Did people really get bored of it that quickly? What was it that Producer Michael said when holding a bottle of Colonia Oud? "Oud is...the finest of fragrances..it's made from, um, natural...I don't know what it's made from.....and oud lasts longer, ahhh...and it's..and the top works." 🤣 I think I did a spit take the first time I saw that clip. 😄
😂😂😂
I do think oud isnt a trend and its here to stay... but the hype around it has definately died down since it was at full blast a decade ago 🤌🤌🤌
Great work ! Thanks
Thanks for watching & commenting Nathan 🍻
I think fragrances with a recreated oud accord should be called louds . I like fake ouds too but how is that not some sort of false advertisement? They are saying it’s something it’s not. But the way they get around that (as we know) is by putting like 0.1% oud in it. Anyway great video as always mate.
Most of them dont even use .1% but I like your rec... Louds or maybe even Rudes! 🤯
The women in my life love, love, love OUD for GREATNESS... :)
Crazy !😂😂😂
If I wore frags for other people that stuff would come into play... but I wear them for me soooooo🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Would King Blue be in this list now? lol. Great list. Love Royal Oud & Jubi
I dont know if Amouage claims it has real oud in it or not 🤔
@@RamseytheRam they claim to use silver oud. I’ve never heard of silver oud until Amouage marketed the term. I believe I remember reading that they sourced it from Ajmal and they supposedly grow their own oud. So I would like to think that Amouage uses natural oud oil because it would be pretty disappointing if not. Reminds me of how that overly sensitive ATH gay boy marketed dragon oud, which I never heard of either. Anyway, I’m still waiting for sites to start selling king blue samples so I can’t speak to the oud aroma
@@grant_chamberlain thanks for the bit about Ajmal I didnt know that... i think Silver oud is the better perfume for sure imho 🙂
I let Linda Pilkington of Ormonde Jayne in Portland. She is tiny!! I like a lot of Ormonde Jayne (I’m a woman). They’re just easy and pretty. You should check out Tolu. I really like Ta’if as well.
I heard ta'if extrait is beautiful... i like the brand they are just a bit to safe and conservative for my taste now a days... but something like Ormonde Jayne is so easy for me to wear to work example... thanks for watching & commenting N T 😊
@@RamseytheRam yes, very safe. I’ll have to try the extrait.
Ouch. Just started watching this vid and I just bought a full bottle of Initio Oud for Greatness for $220 USD. I really like it. I can't offer an opinion on Initio the brand in general though.
😂😂😂
Thats okay... we can like different things... I have strong feelings about Oud for Greatness ....its NOT for me... but to each their own 🍻
@@RamseytheRam Yes we have very different noses - exceptfor the appreciation of vintage DNA. But I respect your knowledge and vastness of experience. Best of the genre on TH-cam.
Wow Silver Oud at number 2...I need to get my nose on that.
I am very smitten with it... by far the best Amouage release under the fish guy 🐡
@@RamseytheRam Have you tried Overture Woman? Heard it's a stunner
@@mikev880 i have not .. hoping to one day 💪
🐏 did you ever smell Gucci Guilty Oud? I was surprised at how it was relative to Gucci Intense Oud.
I have one of them... Gucci Intense oud. Never smelled Gucci Guilty Oud though... maybe one day
I might be out the loop about this one, but you mentioned that you refuse to buy the new Serge Lutens bottles. Why is that?
Just a personal choice...i dont like them
@@RamseytheRam ahhhh okay. That's fair. Love your content btw. Been binging it for a good week now. Top tier of TH-cam fragcom
Thank you Brother 🤝
do i love this video... or what! i'd say my Top 3 'Western-Oud' fragrances are: "Oud & Musc" by Cartier, "Oud Amour" by Abercrombie & Fitch, and "Tabacco Oud" by Tom Ford - all these amid a hundred others, of course.
Good choices Alan! I need to dive into those Cartier ouds... do they use "real" out? I liked the one I smelled the other day from a very kind perfume God Person in my blind sniffing video 🍻
@@RamseytheRam IMHO, what i smell in the Cartier oud series is a base of Oud Assam, together with synthetics - both. and that's what i think is going-on with a lot of other more exclusive lines as well. i'd love you to interview Mathilde Laurent, if for no other reason to ask about her oud creations - nine of them, so far. and i'd be pleading with her to do an Oud & Patchouli next. btw, you can buy almost all of those Cartier ouds in 15ml sizes - beautiful sized-down but almost identical bottles.
@@alanhansen8218 those are perfect for a large collection ... i Love 15ml bottles 😊
Hello Ramsey , have you tried Nicolai Parfumeur Incense Oud?
I have not.... it's on the to sniff list 🐽
@@RamseytheRam hahaha niceee. Just ordered it. Every time I order or wanna order I will always ask you. Coz you’re my fragrance mentor
Ramsey hey man Bought a vintage Lancaster Davidoff Zino 2.5 oz for 30 $ and Gucci guilty absolute 1.7 oz for 40$ and a Dunhill icon 3oz all for under 100. Thanks to u. All full Thanks to free shipping. Could u ask your Fragrance Godfathers what the U T I F NR code means and if they date back to what year it started being
Someone wiser than me will have to respond to this request...but i love your haul 🪨
Hi. Orto Pirasi Terroni. is missed which is better than Stercus. u will find this with good oud
Thank you! Terroni is also on my to buy list 🤌🤌🤌
Amouage claims Silver Oud has real Assam Oud in it. Mm Zarokian was given carte blanche to create an oud frag, given it's the most expensive Amouage in the range it would be dubious if there wasn't any actual oud. Also I think they increased the synthetic amber in the new bottle compared to the old, at least that's what my nose says.
Makes sense ... I feel I should have bought an older bottle... one of my biggest recent mis-steps 🤦♂️
@@RamseytheRam had I got the same deal as u did on the 100ml I would've copped it. Now I payed almost as much for the 50ml sent from Oman to the EU. Anyway love ur content keep it up!
Have you tried oud impreial by perris monte carlo?
No I haven't... lots from the brand I have never smelled
I need chypre recommendations Whats the best I love diaghilev aventus and thinking about retrying antaues since I grown to love the genre especially diaghilev!
Watch my Chypre videos I just did! Thanks for commenting 🍻

Brad! Good to see you again my friend... thanks for the rec 🐏🤖
Oh man 😂😂😂😂😂, I just hate oud for sadness as far as you do.👍
It really is the worst isnt it? Cant believe people pay 300 bucks for it 🤮
AHH I took it as Top Ten fakiest of fake ouds, how dare you call yourself an Oud fragrance. To which I would have said anything Oud by Tom Ford.
As for what these fake ouds should be termed as I think anything with the name of Aoud! Once they start playing around with the ingredient name you know it's on a downward spiral.
Best line I heard recently (Courtesy of Les Oderants).
"It's the kind of fragrance that when I get a whiff of....I expect a twat to appear in my eyeline". 🤣🤣🤣
That's Tom Ford's for me!😆
Oud for greatness.....well I remember when I first started watching fragrance YT channels and wasted my time watching Fragmental...you know the guy that loves everything ( I wonder why)?🤔 He hyped that stinker to no end. The name was enough for me.
It's really interesting that this topic comes up, Oud would never be mentioned before, now here we are. I wonder what will be the next 'in' accord?
Cheers.
But but but Roja says he named it Aoud to more accurately reflect how the arabs say it.... because he lived amongst them for 3 years dontch know 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam Just the name Roja Dove says it all!😂
Roger Bird wasnt good enough ... he has now morphed to Roja Dove 🕊
@@RamseytheRam Roger pidgeon for the more 'affordable' line.
@@LEgoiste 😂😂😂😂
Nasomatto and Orto parisi use real oud
Like I said in the opening , I am not saying these companies don't use real oud, I am saying to my nose they don't smell like the brands who are artinsal takes where the oud is used in 30% concentrations or something, they smell more "western" in style... but that is just my 2 cents
