    I started to get into fragrances about 2 years ago, so I'm sort of a newbie.
    I have to say that I love your reviews because they're so thorough and so in depth but easy enough for a guy like me to understand without sacrificing quality.
    Much success and good vibes to you Mr. Forti!

    I recently ordered/received Memoir Man, Epic Man, Journey Man, Jubilation XXV and Interlude Man. All blind buys. However, I thank you, Greggieboy76, Robes08, Dracdoc, the LupeXperience, FragBoy Stewie, Fragrance Bros, Fragrancefanatic, Scentrifugal Force and several others in the fragrance community for your reviews on the Amouage house as I have used your videos as a guide to my recent purchases (juice for the cold weather). Take care!

    OMG, you're very rich man, this collection is a real fortune, thank you so much for this video, but for the highness and the luxuries fame of this perfumes, I suggest to make a special video for each one, some people can't really distinguish which one to choose with the specific ingredients and notes they prefer, specially when you describe most of them as woody, spicy, citrus, aromatic, balsamic, rosy, a lot of incense, amber and musk!!
    I know these are very complicated fragrances and not easy to wear, but it's becoming very confusing and oddy..!!

  • @nigelwilliams8537
    @nigelwilliams8537 2 роки тому

    Fascinating to note just how much Max has improved his reviewing skills, delivery and style over the years. This review comes over as gauche, a little jejeune and wooden, with Max simply reading the contents notes, verbatim, saying "West to East" when the opposite is correct and padding, bluffing and blurting when the review is crying-out for factual, measured and cerebral. In his more recent Top 5 Amouage review, some (6?) years later, Max's reviewing skills, acumen and polish have improved immeasurably. Interestingly in earler his GBU/UO review, Max awards the most Overstated, overhyped award to Journey Man whereas in his later review, he ranks Journey Man in his Top 5 Amouage juices, so maybe it's not just Max's reviewing technique that's improved but also his olfactory tastes.

    For an American you do good reviews and I also agree with most of what you say, except for Opus VIII that I rate highly, but then I am a very flamboyant male, who loves feminine scents or those that really push the gender barrier. I personally think that "Sunshine man" is overrated for you can get similar effect with the good old "Un Homme de Caron" by Caron. You should try it.

  • @jimr880
    @jimr880 9 років тому

    I love these GBUUO episodes! To me, the ugly goes to the Reflection Man Trolls on Fragrantica. Yep, 70+ members have said it smells similar (not identical) to Le Male--along with just about every UA-cam fragrance reviewer who have observed a similar vibe--yet, Fragrantica permits these trolls to create dozens of accounts just so they can vote down anyone who says it does remind them of Le Male. Rubes! LOL!
    Anyway, I haven't looked closely at Dia Man but perhaps I'll take another look. Also, what are you thought on Ciel Man?

    Hi Max, I am Dev, live in Bali that has temperature around 26°c in the morning/evening, 35°c in the day, also humid here.
    I work indoor with 26°c temperature.
    I have tried Creed Aventus because I hear so many great comment about it but and my skin did not react well to it.
    Then I tried Creed GIT and I am very happy with it.
    I would like to try Amouage brand; Could you recommend some for me to try, for work (smart casual) and formal ocassion.
    Thank you.
