    I appreciate your insight and quickly subscribed. I smelled King Blue when it was released last year and thought it was just another oud. Then I noticed the community start talking about it again recently after it was largely dismissed last year, so I pulled out my sample and gave it another chance. Wow! It certainly takes a few wearings to even begin to understand it and I’m still exploring it, but King Blue went from a pass to full love. I’m kind of obsessed now and just got a full bottle. I think it’s brilliant and I love it more with each wearing. Again thanks for the video, looking forward to more.

    • @AlpineMontane

      Thank you for watching and making a comment. I really identify with what you have shared about King Blue. What you have described is very similar to my experience when first trying Silver Oud by Amouage. I understand what you mean by kind of obsessed. What was initially off putting, due it being an unfamiliar smell, soon turned into an absolute love. Silver Oud also got me prepared for King Blue so when finally trying it for the first time the oud was familiar. Pleased to hear you have a full bottle of King Blue as I know what this fragrance means to me. I do not wear this as much as I would like to due to my circumstance. However, whenever I do it completely captivates and is a true pleasure to wear. 🙏

    • @AlpineMontane
      @AlpineMontane День тому

      @@BeautyofScent This is not overly sweet at all. It would be fair to say it has some elements of a gourmand due to the tonka bean, almond, orange and possibly vanilla. However, it feels like the woods, Leather and vetiver hold it back from being a full gourmand. I think this is why l'homme ideal works so well for me as some sweet gourmands can become sickly after a while of wearing them, not a fan of them. This is so delicate in all its facets and really is a finely balanced fragrance. Longevity on my skin is also very good for an edt. I do not like to recommend fragrances to others due to fragrances being subjective. However, when I first got my nose on this it was inevitable it would end up in the collection at some point. 🙏

    My 100ml has a batch code on the sticker but not the box, also the spray cap on my 100ml has the Thameen Symbol etched into it, and the bottle fits snugly into a solid sturdy foam insert inside the box, whereas yours looks like cardboard.

For me this is a great Autunm/Winter fragrance. I have had to learn the hard way that a little goes a long way rather than over spaying. I could still smell this faintly this morning after I woke so it lasted around 15hrs. To me RT is like a mixture of Herod and Carlisle, both by Parfums de Marley. In terms of placing this in the collection this is difficult to do as my mind is constantly changing, depending on weather and season.

      Thank you, This is such a great fragrance. Amouage is such a great house with many remarkable fragrances. My mind changes all the time around which are top. It would probably be the oud heavy ones. However, many people around me do not like these so they do not get that many wears. Interlude 53 and Jubilation XXV are on the list to buy at some stage as well as Reflection 45. It is great that some houses have very strong, good quality, concentrations. It is awesome that you would send some samples thank you. I must say though I may not be able to do reviews on them. There is a back log of fragrances to be experienced and very little time, due to work and other commitments. my email is alpinemontane@gmail.com 🙏

    Just got this but the packaging is solid blue, no stripes. Mine said ©️2023 on the box. My fav PDM. Love this fragrance. Unique and complex to me 🤷‍♂️

      It is a classic and hard to dislike. The newer boxes of pdm fragrance have changed from the striped to the plain single colour type.

    Did you speak to the seller in the end? I bought the 50ml for £65 and after watching your video and reading comments, there's definitely something fishy going on. The print on front of bottle is different, but could be down to manufacture changes. The inside of my box unlike yours is velvet padding and the underside of the bottle has 'Thameen London' embossed. There is also a difference with the atomiser as the 50ml I got has the logo on it.

    • @AlpineMontane
      @AlpineMontane Місяць тому

      Yes I did contact the seller, They offered my money back and assured me I could get this verified. Many have commented on the difference with the 50ml bottle and this bottle. Im inclined to believe it is not legit. Though I have to be honest it does really smell great if it is fake.

      I bought the same from a seller beginning with the letter p from eBay. Everything about the packaging is top notch and as you described yours with the embossed bottom of bottle. If it is fake, it's the most effort I've ever seen put in to a fake. The scent is nice but the longevity isn't good.

    I purchased Viking Cologne new Metal Cap batch and first impression I was disappointed to say the least. After a month I gave it ago again, and wow it is amazing currently my favorite. It last and projects for a long time citrus fresh but with added depth. You should re visit

      I hear you man. It was one of the first niche Fougere fragrances I tried. I have to admit my taste did not appreciate it at the time. It was only a 5 ml decant. I went to revisit this a few months ago, though for some reason there was nothing left in the decant. Maybe a leak. The fougere is much more interesting to me now. A revisit or a purchase of the original Viking maybe a future purchase at the right price. 🙏

    I have two bottles of thameen , one carved oud and one imperial crown . Both 50 ml bottles . I paid 80 and 75 poonds respectively. The imperial crown is amazing, top quality. The carved oud is a less projecting calmer scent but does last days on my clothing . My feeling is they are both genuine.
