Yes! The silver oud has finally arrived, marvellous. I like unboxing videos for same reasons as you state and I like sharing about the hobby. I also enjoy when people tell me about what they've bought, it's nice! 🐏🦆
Very rare to find a frag that I sample first and am moved to buy a full bottle... but I am convinced this is the best stuff Amouage releases since Chong left... it does kinda tick me off the hubris and arrogance of the fish guy saying if the old Amouage customers dont like it oh well we wilk find new ones 😡 The packaging is also much lower class than I expected for a perfume that retails for 500 bucks... but whatever .. might be one of my last full bottle Amouage purchases 🥲
@@RamseytheRam I don’t blame you for being ticked off, what sense does it make to disregard their loyal supporters! I love this bottle but don’t like how they’re all uniform now in that line, for the money they’re charging they should all have a little individual twist imo
Yes I totally agree with you! He is saving money on packaging & pulled the Chanel style of making sure nothing leaks to the secondary market where prices can be discounted.... I think while they have had short term growth... I think they ruined their long term customer base... but time will tell... how many of those 12 ml attar bottles for 600 to 800 bucks did they sell 🤐😬
Hey there Ramsey. After your earlier review of Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud, I just decided to pull the trigger on getting a bottle of it online. Was able to get snag a 100ml bottle from an official Amouage retailer up here in Vancouver, Canada for $420 CDN which is about $310 USD so bought the last bottle this retailer had in stock. Other retailers up here are selling it for around $600 CDN. Hoping that I at least like it, and like you, I like dry woods fragrances as long as they aren't screechy and I haven't heard anybody alluding to this frag being screechy etc. Will be keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't a bad/sad purchase. Really enjoy your videos and appreciate the amount of commentary you put into your reviews.
Do report back and let me know what you think .. I got my for 350 shipped no taxes or shipping so I am happy with it but I wish I would have got one of the older bottles 🙂
I for one love unboxing video's 😁.... anyone who doesn't is really just letting their jealousy get the better of them. You deserve the silver oud as a reward for all the great content you're creating.... personally I've learnt so much more watching your videos. Only frustration I have is not being able to send you some of my spare bottles and decants of stuff you have mentioned you're yet to sniff or is on your wish list.
Thats very kind of you my friend... and I totally agree.. anyone who "hates" something in regards to a hobby we all know and love and use for enjoyment should maybe unplug for a bit or find a new hobby 😅
I liked Ambre de Coco too... I would love to smell Orto Parisi & Kerosene 🤗 Its crazy when you think about all the perfume I have smelled in my life.... I have probably sniffed more than 99% of most people and yet there are entire Brands, not just a fragrance here or there but whole brands I have never sniffed....its just crazy when you really think about how much perfume is really out there 🤦♂️
Yesterday I received a backup bottle of vintage Azzaro Pour Homme and it comes with an original soap. What am I supposed to do with soap? Use it or leave it stored in the pristine container in which it comes? I think I need a third bottle of this perfume🤔
@@RamseytheRam Having seen relatively young people die, I think there is no point in keeping anything to themselves. It is my first soap, I have never bought any so I will use it I do not know how but I will, as far as fragrances refers everything I have bought sealed I have already used, except for an extrait of Mitsouko from the 50s which I have not yet opened because I have two more that I opened when I bought them sealed in my Mitsy fever days😬
@@RamseytheRam I have some Guerlain extraits in my modest "collection" such as Mitsy, L'Heure Bleue, Apres L'ondee, Jicky, Shalimar, Mouchoir de Monsieur and Vol de Nuit. It's my favorite brand and Jacques Guerlain my favorite perfumer of all time
Thanks ram! I bought oud satin mood from maxaroma and the smell was not the same as my sampler I got from neimans. Sent It back..just my experience.. I even asked my wife to smell it to see if it sent diff.. never bought from there again..lemon?
Maybe. .. this was seeled though so I am not concerned... also sometimes air has to get into the bottle for it to really open up... just my experience 🍻
I think the one I got the sample of is the original bottle... i dont think there is a reform since it was only last year when it came out and they changed the bottles for the whole Opus Line .. I am not concerned though 🤷♂️
I'm with Rich I love a good unboxing. Gives me insight on what the person is going after in real time lol. Might include an unboxing in my first video lol ✌🏻
Do it! We are all holding our breathe waiting for you to get into the groove... once the videos start naturally flowing ... your channel is going to be a knock out 🤌🤌🤌
Currently this fragance is at Venba for a lower much lower price if I'm not mistaken I bought it few weeks ago whit an nasomato and Alexandria xerjoff every thing very discount it I have nothing to do with them also aura fragrance it's an good discount place You should tell us where I can get the vintage you get Come on brother share whit me! Lol
Guess I'm kinda disappointed that this video of your's ended so quickly 😃😃...Your channel is the only perfume channel I follow lately! Will be waiting for your take on Silver Oud eagerly! Stay blessed man!
I already did a video on silver oud! Go check it out under the Amouage playlist 🤌🤌🤌 The 5ml decant I got was so good I had to get a full bottle... rarly does that happen to me anymore. Thank you for the compliment .. it was the 2nd video of the day since I did the Roja early impression of UAE earlier... maybe a 3rd video of the day tonight? 🤔
The ONE thing I like under the new Fish Guy (Salmone) is the bottles under the Opus Collection and Silver Oud... I could leave everything else they have done including Boundless (which I own a bottle) and Royal Tobacco (which is nice but not worthy of the hype IMHO)
@@colinbenfield326 i like the boundless packaging more than this one thats for sure... but I like Silver Oud the fragrance more than Boundless ... although i didnt dislike Boundless... I just had higher expectations for an Amouage I guess 🙍♂️
@@RamseytheRam yes Christopher Chong did an amazing job. I only own Dia and Jubilation but I was always interested in a new amouage because they were always show stoppers
I prefer chongs work by a mile .. Meander and Enclave were "nice" but not Amouages to me, Boundless was closer to an Amouage but to much Amberwood, Royal Tobacco was what Boundless should have been and then making the higher perfume oil concentrations and charging 500 bucks a bottle didnt sit right with me... epic 56 and interlude 52 or whatever 🤒 I miss Chong... needless to say he now has a job with Thameen so I cant wait to see what he comes up with 🤗
Now you've gone and done it....I'm going to have to sit through a video with a title of a fragrance I'm interested in, only to have them complain for 10 mins about you showing cardboard boxes and how they haven't the time to do such things!🤷 I could leave a comment to ask them to get straight to the subject matter.....but it will only be ignored as I'm obviously recognised on this channel. 😂 It's pure comedy! 🤣🤣🤣
@@RamseytheRam Change of subject....I'm traveling by train alot while on vacay, I've had plenty of time to appreciate my fragrances in different scenarios. What I'm currently enjoying is the similarities in transitions of my scents I've worn. It's been interesting picking out links to them all. I wore Girl by CdG, which links to Fahrenheit which I wore the Summer version of. To be followed by Antaeus, Bel Ami, and Feminite du Bois. It's been a journey of hints coming and hints of what has passed. Could be a good subject, a link of fragrances to wear following on from each other. Needs a lot of homework but I'm sure others on here may experience similar. Could be called something like Transitions.

The very second a brand representative gleefully states that he doesn’t care if long time fans are unhappy with the brands’ direction because he will gladly replace them with new customers I just can’t bring myself to give them another penny. Ungrateful arrogance in my opinion.
