ultrasound tincture is simply a tincture that has undergone exposure to ultrasound. Similar to how kidney stones can be broken down into fine particulates by using ultrasound, the amberis 'stone' can also be broken down to aid dissolution into the tincture.
Yes this is spot on. No need to repeat this great analogy and explanation. Ultrasound is also favoured as it is less time consuming than normal solvent distillation methods. It is also not susceptible to heat which can affect the yield of some volatile components. I read a study where they compared the chemical components of mint using normal distillation and ultrasound (US), and the quality in the final product was very different. The method is not without its faults though. Ostens also mention the extraction method in their note breakdowns. Interesting that brands are moving in this direction. Almost like they are appealing to a "connisuer" audience. In reality it is mostly well trained perfumers that can really detect such differences. Jean Claude Ellena in one of his books mentions how in his training he could tell the difference in the geographical origin and extraction method of the material. I can't, yet 😂🥴.
@@RichMitch yeah, I went to the website to confirm, and that’s what they speak about. They don’t even list patchouli, but when I first looked it up I thought it was patchouli as well because it says indonesie.
Looking forward to the follow up review on Ambre Supreme. I am generally interested in this house and planning on trying a few from their offerings. Thanks for sharing, Rich!
Thanks for the review Rich. I totally agree with you, an elevated blue fragrance. Got the discovery set so this and Musc De Sables are on my list to buy cheers mate.
I'm with you on the big samples. Let's not clutter the world with litter. Or the online community. So I'll just stop talking. 😆 Any chance of stabilizing the camera Mitch? I love listening to your thoughts but can't seem to manage the vid. An improvised phone stand would be sufficient.
I must say I agree. Your channel, Rich, has become one of my favourites already. Always looking forward to next video. With a tripod it would be even better. Blair Mitch reviews hahaha!
Loved hearing your first impressions on this-it sounds totally different (in a good way) to what I imagined it to be. I love the brand, so I’ll have to splurge on this one!
@@RichMitch will do! I wonder if they still have a U.K. stockist though. I had a look yesterday at the Les Senteurs website and the brand’s no longer listed there..
I rang les senteurs and they said it's a brexit related issue. I contacted them by email when I wanted to order the Vanille Havane and Rose de Jamal, I think you may have to import via them
@@RichMitch thanks for the update-wow all those ‘Brexit benefits’ just keep rolling on in, don’t they...I remember last year I bought vanille Havane from Les Senteurs with no hassle at all-plus they kindly tossed in three extra samples for me
Yeah brexit has been an unparalleled "success" so far, hasn't it. It's been hell for perfume fans in this country, considering almost all the world's perfume comes from Europe 🤦🏻♂️ If you get in touch with them, I'm sure they'll help you out
Rich a new perfume shop has just opened where I live in Melbourne - it stocks indemodables and a bunch of other niche stuff - I was like u in Le Parfumier when I walked in as it’s so hard to get access to stuff down here.. I got a bottle of musc de sables and a sample pack. Even smelt oud infini - that stuff makes leather oud smell like imperial cologne!
@@RichMitch they’ve got about 40 niche brands including rarer stuff like mdci and Rania jay, lots of Nicholai, no vintage though. I think cuir de chine and rose de Jamal are my picks they havnt got the amber 1 yet which I’m interested in
You certainly seem quite smitten with this one Rich love your point of send out 7 ml samples instead of bottles to reviewers just think of the shelf space the big boys could save ,and the less top 10 plus honorable mentions to be rolled out ,oh yes liking that yes sir peace out ✌️
Sounds really interesting Rich 😊 It has just been released (it was not when you received your decant). I'd love if they could sell this size to try too. I'll see if I can buy a sample at last 😉
You can contact the brand and ask them, they are really good at replying quickly and they seem reasonable to talk with. Otherwise, I bought their sample pack and it is really good... ask them to include the escale colognes and the ambre supreme
I love aldehydes. Very powerful though. Hard to use. I will hazard a guess that it has aldehyde C12 MNA (and probably some others). It is a soapy, floral, citrusey Aldehyde with ambergris like nuances. Stuff lasts and lasts. Will outlast any citrus notes and some florals. Very powerful, put in on a strip in your room, and it will overpower everything. You can detect it in the mid-drydown of some perfumes. It smells like soap, something herbal like coriander, and slightly chlorinated pool water neat. Aldehyde C10 just smells like coriander neat in all honesty. But in small doses aldehydes can add pop to citrus, florals and incense notes. When you say blue I think Dihydromercenal 😱😭. Has got the cool water blue smell? Or more Sauvage blue?
It's not Dihydromercenal blue, it's ambrox blue but much, much more real and satisfying. This is "marine" done right, its what all the other blue fragrances are trying to achieve but without the shortcuts. I'm almost certainly getting a bottle of this
@@RichMitch I will have to admit I have never been taken with blue or marine perfumes but this one is tempting me with the florals listed. Sounds like they set a benchmark for the genre! RIP my wallet 😂👍🏼
Ambre Supreme certainly wasn't what I was expecting. It's a rough leather/amber like an amped-up Knize Ten, but borderline unpleasant. Also reminds me of the shoe polish note in Cuir Cavallier. I respect this brand, maybe it will grow on me. I think I prefer the perfumery fantasy of ambre over the real thing.
Didn't know u were droppin vids til Eugen mentioned it. Great stuff mate. Least we know theirs 1 honest duck in this pond lol. Keep it up Richard Mitchell

Just going to sit in a dark corner and contemplate my 2ml sample sizes lol
Size isn't everything 👀
Watching some of your older videos. What a treat for all of us fragrance lovers.
cheers Hari! There's plenty to see
By the way rich, the colognes are vetiver and the other one is a ambergris cologne. They love ambergris
I thought the other was a patchouli?
I agree though, they do love ambergris
@@RichMitch yeah, I went to the website to confirm, and that’s what they speak about. They don’t even list patchouli, but when I first looked it up I thought it was patchouli as well because it says indonesie.
I've got a sample, I'll give it a wheeze tomorrow and see what I get
Looking forward to the follow up review on Ambre Supreme. I am generally interested in this house and planning on trying a few from their offerings. Thanks for sharing, Rich!
They do a sample set! I bought one, ask them to include the newer stuff like the colognes and Ambre supreme
So amazing .thanks for sharing brother
Thanks for watching!
Really falling in love with this.
@@nathanielmoody3656 I love it

I'm getting this, Oriental velours and escale en Haiti.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Thank you Richard, always a pleasure learning from you, and so happy to see you now you have your own station. All the best.
Thank you, John. That is very kind of you! 🙏
Note listing looks amazing, getting this 100% I’m a sucker for real ambergris
You'll really like it, m8. Beautifully blended and top ingredients
@@RichMitch oh yeah, I’m in the process of making it happen lol
@@timetomuskup2 do a first impressions too!
@@RichMitch oh yeah
Does any every wash up on the shores of Long Island, I wonder? (hundreds of miles of shoreline..) remember Homer Simpson..."Mmm...Ambergreee!"

🤣🤣🤣
Rich, did you buy a full bottle of Escale Indonesie? Keston and I are both hitting it hard....the fragrance that is.
👀😂
I haven't got a full bottle but I do have a sample, it is nice. I'm hoping to do a video on the two colognes in future

Great Review 👍
Thanks!
Any update thoughts now that you have it for a while?
I haven't worn it yet but I really like it, the best of its kind. Beautiful ingredients and brilliantly made
this one is so good probably my favorite. definitely the best ambergris smell ever
It is beautiful 🕺
In his interview with eternalscentjourney Antoine said there’s loads of hyrax in Ambre Supreme! Just incredible!
It's a beautiful perfume. It does have an animalic tinge
New subscriber and loving your style and your ethics re: free stuff.

What else do they have? Have you tried any of the samples?

It's definitely the way forward. Free bottles for review is a huge problem imo... when something is free, you are the product
Sounds really interesting Rich 😊

Tried this one today, so good! I love ambergris and this doesn't disappoint. It's super masculine, salty aromatic, it's lovely
It's fantastic, isn't it? I'm gonna get it in the springtime I think
@@RichMitch Yeah, I'll probably do the same. Bit scared with Brexit import costs innit 😕
@@CrappyProducts it's an extra 20%, horrible
So I’m summary , I need this 🤣
It's pretty great
Just ordered a sample of this, kind of scared because I love ambergris but immortel is one of my least favorite notes. Hopefuly its not an overdose.
It is blended brilliantly. I wouldn't worry too much, I don't like florals and I think it's awesome. Ambergris is definitely the main player
I love aldehydes. Very powerful though. Hard to use. I will hazard a guess that it has aldehyde C12 MNA (and probably some others).

Ive gotta be honest, I don't get that from it at all. Its an interesting take though, I'll try it again and see if I can see
