I don’t find Zafar’s base to be that heavy, a strangely fresh and citrusy oud - absolutely love it- Wanderlust is also amazing, especially for summer nights.
I randomly ran into this brand at Scentido today. I ignored their suggestion thinking it's another clone brand maybe. Still went ahead and tried Royal Incense. It blew my mind. Sprayed on my forearm it's even more beautiful. I am gonna get it tomorrow. Thanks Sebastian.
Funny enough, I am an Omani and some what into perfumes and I ran into Oman luxury just the other day while walking around in a mall in Muscat. Sadly the showroom was closed. Will visit them soon.
@@timhughes3684 yes I like Amouage very much but it was not created by our previous Sultan, Sultan Qaboos. But Sultan Qaboos was a connoisseur of the highest order of Oud and perfumes in general. Ensar Oud knows a lot about this subject.
I have to agree oud has been over worked. But as a side line attraction it can enhance other notes. Your top three is right on the money and any or all would be worth having😊
Sebastian you make Belfiore sound so delicious. I must try it soon. Great video I haven't explored this brand but I think I will start with Belfiore. Thanks
I bought the discovery kit and Love Royal Incense and Belfioe!!! Wanted to love Paramour but a little too leathery for me!! Royal Incense is absolutely amazing!! I loved OVERDOSE in the dry down but can’t get through the opening!!
@@christinayoussef7482Omg sorry so late!! BELFIORE I finally have and no the leather note it’s not heavy, smell a bit more like a soft suede. Paramour has a moderate leather scent ☺️
@@MarcelenaTheresa Thank you for answering my question ❤️ I meant to ask about Paramour , I am so addicted to this scent profile but I can’t stand leather more than the amount in La Capital it’s the perfect leather for me, that’s why I am asking, I still not sure about it 😁
I have Royal Incense and the discovery set. Nice house! Wanderlush and paramour are my other 2 I recommend but all of the scents are very complex and I recommend getting discovery set. Is too warm for me to wear Royal incense a lot so I’ll wait for fall to really test the performance.
I currently have 3 from them: Royal Incense, Oud Aquilaria and Wanderlust. Planning to get Flowerlush soon. My favorite is the Royal Incense. The combination of non animalic honey (unlike in Zoology’s Bee) + incense is just divine. It can make its presence felt even in a snowy environment.
I was waiting for this review, this is a house that I really want to know, love the bottles and presentation. definitely will order the sample set or at least get samples of Zafar, Royal Incense, Oud Aquilaria, Belfiore and in special Serenity, there's a switch in my brain that flipped and I don't get BO anymore with cumin, just a gorgeous burning spice scent, I'm Obssesed with Akro Night right now, I know many people will get BO but I think my nose evolved. Great video thank you Sebastian!!!
As an American expat who is living in Oman right now doing engineering work, its amazing how much pride and interest the entire culture here places on fragrance. *EVERYWHERE* you go, there is incense burning, or fragrances being sprayed, etc.
I only tried 1 offering from this house Sebastian and unfortunately I didn't like it, sad to say it's your favorite. Not sure why, however I am intrigued by Serenity and can get it for a great price right now with a free discovery kit. Can you tell me if the rose is prominent, I am not a big fan of rose fragrances ? Thanks for another great video. Cheers Brutha 😎
I think I've heard you talk about Wonderlust because the name is familiar. But this is the first time I'm taking note of the brand. I'm liking the sound of Belfiore. Royal Incense might also be one to try since I don't care much for Babycat.
Great house, especially when you consider price-value proposition. I own Oud Aquilaria and Serenity, both are great. Paramour is also beautiful if you like gourmand floral leather. And for incense lovers Royal Incense is great. All in all I recommend testing these fragrances. Don't blind buy, but test.
I really enjoy your videos. Have you ever review Cerruti 1881? My father used that a lot in the 90's. He also used another one with a black label with some numbers on it I can't remember the name.
Hi Stabaian, just off topic for this video, would like your recommendation for fragrances to take on a cruise in late July here on the east coast, hope to hear from you, thanks
Hi Sebastian! Could you please do a top list of Amouroud? I would love to know your opinion about them, because im thinking in gettin one of them. Whats your favorite?
I only have Oud aquilaria, but I've also enjoyed Mariya and Paramour. Royal incense was ok, but it went a bit in the direction of church incense and I am not a fan of that. I've also tested Serenity, Wanderlust, Overdose and Khanjar, but since I don't recall liking them, they probably weren't for me. I need to sample Zafar since it does sound good from the notes. Thank you for the video!
Makes sense. Serenity is quite sweaty musky with the cumin. Wanderlust loads of bitter greens. I like the brand but preferring the clear bottles over the dark bottles! :)
Can you review the new Sisley-Paris perfumes that just came out? They don't sell discovery sets and where I'm at, it's hard to find something to sample. Thanks!
Thanks!! I feel the same about their fragrances. They are the best kept secret that needs to get out (at least their past fragrances). Any chance the Sisley rep would give you samples since you can find them near you?
I need a discount to buy all as I prefer to review them via bottles. Sadly samples don't do justice to review fragrances. So I rarely review from samples.
Love you Sebastian, but I have to disagree with you on Khanjar.. It's awesome! Yes it's animalic (in the first 45-60 min), however it dies off significantly afterwards.. It's a masculine frag for sure. Spray it on, take care of business, then snuggle with your girl in the later dry down while it's waay softer and muskier. It's a good change of pace..
Royal Incense …. Too soapy for me. Unfortunately the UA-cam hype got me on this one bc ppl (including you) said it smelled like incense Oud by Kilian. NOT. incense Oud is 10x better , I’m pissed

Tried OVERDOSE?
How’s your experience so far ?
Funny enough, I am an Omani and some what into perfumes and I ran into Oman luxury just the other day while walking around in a mall in Muscat. Sadly the showroom was closed. Will visit them soon.
You’ll like Amouage it’s created by your Sultan
@@timhughes3684 yes I like Amouage very much but it was not created by our previous Sultan, Sultan Qaboos. But Sultan Qaboos was a connoisseur of the highest order of Oud and perfumes in general. Ensar Oud knows a lot about this subject.
Ok???
@ what’s the problem ? Sick of life?
Royal Incense is out of this world amazing. Thanks to you I bought a bottle recently and haven't stopped wearing it. Great video.
Oh cool. Glad to be able to help.
I want Belfiore. I love milky lactonic perfumes. I love gourmand perfume. I love fruity perfumes. Great video.
Yes Belfiore is quite yummy.
I also have Paramour from Omanluxury and I LOVE IT♥️
I would love to experience one of these fragrances in an upcoming Scent Club! Just a thought 😊
Please don’t read my mind! LOL! 🤣
👀
Wow, i have been really in a spring/white floral mood, and that Belfiore sounds really good. May have to check it out, thanks Sebastian!
Yes I'm surprised how good it is. Quite creamy, milky and fruity at the same time.

Hi Marcy, does leather here more prominent than in xerjoff La capitale ?!!

Where can you buy discovery kit?
I have Serenity, the old bottle. It's amazing. I looooove it.
Oh yes.
How is the old bottle?
@@antagurom1 it's the old, opulent style.
Thank you for reviewing a house that has become one of my favourites. I love Royal Incense, Paramour, Serenity, and the best of the bunch, Khanjar.
Can you describe khanjar?
Khanjar is an animalic, aromatic scent with oud, cumin, and leather. Not for the faint of heart.
@@kwamelong is it sexy ?
Someone described it like blue cheese
Royal Incense and Serenity are on my wishlist. Wow those are in your top 2. 😊
I’ve been waiting on you to do this, I want Royal incense and Khanjar
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed night
I tried serenity and didnt like it for a couple hours.. now i cant stop smelling it
Just ordered Serenity.Thanks for the review.
I have Royal Incense and the discovery set. Nice house! Wanderlush and paramour are my other 2 I recommend but all of the scents are very complex and I recommend getting discovery set. Is too warm for me to wear Royal incense a lot so I’ll wait for fall to really test the performance.

Great video! My favourite is Angham 🖤
I want to try royal incense. You speak so highly of it.
I mean you speak so highly of it everytime you mention it.
Out of all the dark bottles you could’ve tried I can’t believe you didn’t try Angham or Mariya….
I need to try most of them. Loving their names also

Absolutely
Thank you for the review! I am interesting in 3 of this house as far!
I bought almost all the samples last year and I bought the bottles of the two that I liked the most: Oud Aquilaria and Samahram
I haven't tried the Samahram? How is it?
@@ThePerfumeGuy Samahram was the name that had Royal Incense in the Limited Edition 🙂 Same fragrance
Oh really? Okay good to know, thank you.
Wanderlust, Belfiore, and Royal Incense sound great to me. Another brand I nedd to sample. Hope they have a discovery kit!
I'm surprised at how good Belfiore is.
Great list and excellent review as always!

I'm very curious to try these fragrances from this house it sounds luxurious
I hope you get to try the house and keep us posted.
I think I've heard you talk about Wonderlust because the name is familiar. But this is the first time I'm taking note of the brand. I'm liking the sound of Belfiore. Royal Incense might also be one to try since I don't care much for Babycat.
Royal Incense is so good but you must be into incense.
@@ThePerfumeGuy I don't mind incence. It's the vanilla that bothers me in Babycat.
Oh I see. Yes okay maybe you might like Royal Incense ?
Great house, especially when you consider price-value proposition. I own Oud Aquilaria and Serenity, both are great. Paramour is also beautiful if you like gourmand floral leather. And for incense lovers Royal Incense is great. All in all I recommend testing these fragrances. Don't blind buy, but test.
would you say oud aquilaria is office safe?
I really enjoy your videos. Have you ever review Cerruti 1881? My father used that a lot in the 90's. He also used another one with a black label with some numbers on it I can't remember the name.
I might’ve featured in the video or two I have the latest formulation I bought a year or so ago but I haven’t fully reviewed it.
Thank you by the way
Do you recall which video it may be featured in?
Wanderlust is my preference here for sure.
Oh you must like green scents then?
@@ThePerfumeGuy Absolutely. From your descriptions of all 7 fragrances, this is the one I will seriously consider buying.
Hi Stabaian, just off topic for this video, would like your recommendation for fragrances to take on a cruise in late July here on the east coast, hope to hear from you, thanks
Try the fragrances that I discuss in this list: ua-cam.com/video/FxaEHtOJ93c/v-deo.html
It’s funny I try overdose. To me the ambergris is wayyyy too much has almost like a medicine smell which I don’t like unfortunately 😢
Hi Sebastian!
Could you please do a top list of Amouroud?
I would love to know your opinion about them, because im thinking in gettin one of them. Whats your favorite?
Hopefully I can do it with what I have. Soon. Stay tuned! :)
I really wanted your take on both Khanjar and Overdose. So that's great. Have you tried Paramour?
Oud aquilaria is a more linear version of promise which i prefer.
Nice video I want to try this brand now.
What about paramour?
I don’t know it yet sadly. Must check.
I only have Oud aquilaria, but I've also enjoyed Mariya and Paramour. Royal incense was ok, but it went a bit in the direction of church incense and I am not a fan of that. I've also tested Serenity, Wanderlust, Overdose and Khanjar, but since I don't recall liking them, they probably weren't for me. I need to sample Zafar since it does sound good from the notes.

Great underrated brand. My favourite is Paramour
Overdose , i have a blue limited bottle and I love it !
OOh.
Hi everyone,wich one ,do you recommend that’s more masculine?? Or all of them are unisex?
Can you review the new Sisley-Paris perfumes that just came out? They don't sell discovery sets and where I'm at, it's hard to find something to sample. Thanks!
I posted about them here: instagram.com/p/CqZx9YYIeRE/ but uncertain if I can invest in all of these to review. We shall see though! :)
Thanks!! I feel the same about their fragrances. They are the best kept secret that needs to get out (at least their past fragrances).

Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉
Hello hello!!
I bought 4 samples, very curious about the brand.
Great video. Caravanserail Intense by Nicolai please! :)
Serenity is the best one but it’s smells like Ombre Nomade
Most of them are 15-20 hours longevity, even the fresh frags
It's a real luxurious experience man 💗💯👍
oud Aquilaria is the brand version of Promise by FM
Apparently OUD AQUILARIA = PROMISE
Love you Sebastian, but I have to disagree with you on Khanjar.. It's awesome! Yes it's animalic (in the first 45-60 min), however it dies off significantly afterwards.. It's a masculine frag for sure. Spray it on, take care of business, then snuggle with your girl in the later dry down while it's waay softer and muskier. It's a good change of pace..
I’ll give it another try… we shall see.
Is it sexy or formal ?
What about OVERDOSE?
Royal incense 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Oh yes one of the best for sure!! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy and the other one you mentioned oud aquilaria have them in 5mls samples
Oh cool. That's awesome.
Royal Incense …. Too soapy for me. Unfortunately the UA-cam hype got me on this one bc ppl (including you) said it smelled like incense Oud by Kilian. NOT. incense Oud is 10x better , I’m pissed
Que maravilhosa es Wanderlust❤. Gracias 😘
Why Paramour is not on your list?It is remarkable parfume
Hi
👍
🌹
No review on khanjar
Love you Sebastian, but I have to disagree with you on Khanjar.. It's awesome! Yes it's animalic (in the first 45-60 min), however it dies off significantly afterwards.. It's a masculine frag for sure. Spray it on, dominate and take care of business, then snuggle with your girl in the later dry down while it's waay softer and muskier. It's a good change of pace..
No worries I’ll circle back but too many Ouds from one house. It’s a bit confusing!!
