    This type of hardcore no f's given perfumery is out the window and gone for good these days. As a perfume lover, i think Amouage was at the top making floral fragrances for men and women only under Christopher Chong. In 12 years, he put his heart and soul into the house of Amouage. I agree completely that Amouage needs to hire Mr Chong back and at least teach the fish man how to make perfume or get the fishmen out completely. Sad to say, not all opus collection didn't make it to the new bottles. Thank you for your in-depth review of Opus 9 of Amouage. These kinds of reviews are gone now on UA-cam, where the person that is reviewing a certain composition never puts their heart and soul into their review and on channel Ram that is what we get! Keep doing what you are doing, brother. We love the way you put everything out about a fragrance and never hold back.

    Just picked up an FB of Oud Tawain.
    Hopefully you got your order.
    Hope your having a great summer.
    BTW, I wore vintage Refelction Man yesterday.
    It's the non magnetic. Hardly anything left though.
    I do have a 2015 FB though.
    I had a sample of lX.
    You still have that decant HR?
    That's an official from Houbigant It came Houbigant set.
    It's the extrait
    Glad you enjoy it.

    The way you think about and review fragrances is just another level Ram! The level of detail and storytelling is amazing. So intrigued to try this now. I do love Jasmine especially the indolic type and Jasmine and leather is such a great combo- serge lutens Sarassins is top of my unicorn to sniff list, so this one sounds really interesting too. I have the Jasmine soliflor Perris Monte Carlos- Jasmine de pays by Jean Claude Ellena- have you tried it? Going to wear it today after watching this. Have a great weekend Ram 🥂

    The Ram effect: you post video, magically all of the available stock disappears, regardless of the insane prices being asked.
    Tip for gamblers: go buy whatever is in the title before watching, as there’s a good chance that someone will want it badly later. 😂
    I appreciate the time that you took to review after a long day; understand how much mental energy that it took and we really do appreciate it.
    This frag has been on way for a few days, fuuuuck USPS and their delays-this shit is going to be such an olfactory amusement park to my nose and MAFAKS I GOT SEASON TICKETS!

    i was waiting this one. i have opus ix and it’s one of my top perfumes
    my library collection misses 1-2-4 and i’m hunting it
    i’m so sad for the new Amouage direction, and downhearted for keep discontinuing the art they been made before the fish man period

      The fish man is obviously a jealous little man
      Discontinuing all of Chongs work or trying to paper over it by creating the "exceptional extraits" 🙄 at double the price

      @@RamseytheRam jealousy or stupidity (sorry if you’re reading this fish man)
      yeah exceptional extraits is stupid idea or great in business side
      it’s not if the perfume needs the higher concentration to be at greater stage but no they’re taking only the best sellers and put them in this category
      it was fun and nice to create Jubilation 40 and Dia 40 in the celebration of 40 years. although the new formula of jubilation needed the higher concentration to be back as it used to
      and 100% Chong wouldn’t do this as he could do the 30% extraits in celebration of 30 years
      i can imagine him laughing at this idea if someone suggested him to do so

      Darn, I am in panic mode already, I bought my first bottle in Dubai in 2017 and a friend of mine took that one in 2020 with half of the juice left, I was quick to buy the second one from the same store, cost me 200 dirhams more but I didn't mind. Now I've moved to Pakistan my native country and there's no way I can find one here and my second bottle is almost empty.

    When I sprayed this on indole was by far the most dominant smell I got. Indole is one of my least favorite smells. To me, indole smells like mothballs. Things get better after a while, but this is definitely not my favorite Amouage.
