    Great video Ram, she’s one of my favorite modern perfumers. Private Label is hands down the best Jovoy, Silver Oud and Epic Woman are brilliant. Royal Tobacco is a masterpiece to me, as cohesive, complex and distinctive as the greatest Amouages

    My mother, here in some place in South Europe, has a big stock of all sort of concentrations of Van Cleef & Arpels Gem that she keeps like gold. It is, literally, a slap on the face to 99% of modern perfumery. Such a nectar. And no, we’re not selling a single drop :)

    Cough… day 63 of RAW GOLD request ❤️😁
    Yes looking a a brief overview . I wasn’t sure if the brand was hers or they had brung her on as a nose for 3 Main perfumes , but it looks like Cecile and Benigna started the house together . From what the small paragraph says .

    And about Tango, I think it is the only amber fragrance I can wear comfortably. It dries down to a chalky spicy port-wine-like liquor. One needs to be super careful with the trigger though :)

    Great video! Absolutely appreciate your "Parfumer Portfolio" videos for the educational aspect. I love her work from the sample size I own. I've always wondered how in the world was she able to obtain the project for co-creating Epic Woman 🤔 Regardless, I'm so glad she did and wholeheartedly agree she BLEW UP extremely quick. I feel Amouage and C. Chong DEFINITELY played a HUGE part in her continued and well deserved success. Similarly, would love to see your next " Ranked Parfumer Portfolio" vid on her counter-part (and my personal favorite parfumer), Karine Vinchon-Spehner, who also rose to fame with the help of Amouage + C. Chong. Keep up the great work and stay safe 🤙

    I just got Silver Oud for $199 shipped from a discounter. I’m sure it will get even cheaper going forward. I absolutely love Epic woman and have Memoir Woman on the way. I’m starting to enjoy the woman’s line more than the men’s.

    I honestly like their new take on fragrances. Part of that might be that I'm not a huge fan of most of their older fragrances. I'm not sure though why folks would be bothered by a somewhat new direction. Every company evolves over time, you have to, and those that prefer the traditional Amouage dna already have so many fragrances to choose from anyway.

    Jura Rose is right and I fully agree with him.
    Epic Woman (and Epic 56) is a fantastic creation of this woman !
    Of course, Epic Woman has a note of Jura's nick (or surname ? ), and it's pretty strong, but I like it so much.
    Perfectly fits elegant white shirt.
    Cecil is a beautiful lady in the world of creating fragrances.
    Right next to my dear Liz Moores.
    Thank you my bro.

    Surprisingly just by accident my SOTD is Epic W :D love it! Epic W 56 on the other hand is way too cloying and gives me a headache easily, I almost bought a bottle of it at some point, but GLAD that I didn't!
    She's great, though I agree not every of her work speaks to my heart. But overall she's great!

      @@RamseytheRam I would take it further and say that I wouldn't get a bottle of 56 if I won't have a bottle of original Epic. It just isn't as refined and delicate as the original. At least to my nose. 56 was completely unnecessary imho, I don't know what Amouage is doing.

    Ramsey,
    Afternoon Sir! Love ceciels jovoy fragrance . I own 5 jovoy's & I think that it's private label is the best from the jovoy brand,with "The Jig is up being a close second. I feels it's a masculine that's strictly for the coldest of weather. Amazing! Thanks for sharing? A2

      Hahaha! My apologies Ramsey. I'm referencing *LES JEUX SONT FAITS. It's translated from French to English to mean "THE JIG IS UP, ALL BETS HAVE BEEN PLACED.
      From what I've learned it appears to express ideas pertaining to gambling,rolling the dice and awaiting the outcome of ones fate. After everyone has placed their bets at a gambling table the dealer says *ALL BETS HAVE BEEN PLACED. Therefore they can't be changed ,the dye has been cast & and all one can do is sit back to see what ones fate is
      A very interesting French word & from I've learned from reading the backstory on fragrance, the name of fragrance certainly is linked to Gambling
      Sorry for confusion. A2

    Why do you own a whole bottle of Ani if you don’t like it? Was it a blind buy? I think it is very unique and special, yet hardly ever wear it. Have a decant. It is quite powerful. It is a bit MUCH. And I normally like loud fragrances.
