Amazing! Can’t wait for your impressions of my fav Saffron Hamra! After purchasing, it threw me into an attar vortex. Love them. Very personal and intimate. The leather is an exclusive to Harrods. Never tried. The surprise loves for me are the Rose Aqor (like Epic 56) and Orris Wakkan. I’ve got a feeling you’ll like Oud Ulya. Same Oud as Silver Oud & King Blue, but different take. Looking forward to part II!
Really appreciate this video! I am a big fan of Amouage, and as a native to the Middle East the idea of this brand coming out with attars was pretty exciting to say the least. However, the price for the sample set is quite steep (basically the price of a full bottle niche fragrance!), and so far I had no luck finding "testers" for those in any retailer here in the UK. For these reason, I truly appreciate your in-depth review and your effort in providing as much of the wearing experience as possible! I really like your channel, keep it up :D
@@AhmadKHS95 my pleasure! I was always also interested in watching someone talk about it but couldn’t find anything online. Guess I had to make my own 😉
12:40 - 13:08 Exactly! Increased heat from internal (Body Temperature) or external (Environment, Weather) allows Attars to “Bloom” or open up on the skin. Wearing Attars while working out is an Amazing experience
@@SeldomlyOften Maison Anthony Marmin (MAM) are an excellent introduction to Attars. The owner is a French perfumer from the Middle East, who adds an authentic Arabian twist to all his Attars. Owning 30+ Attars from this house, they are of excellent quality and performance. “Sheikh Al Faransi”, “Amber Al Sheikh” and “Oud Assam” (Very Similar to Jubilation XXV from Amouage) are Must haves
It is hard to get projection without alcohol evaporating. People who told you that Attars project heavily are wrong. If Attars are known for one thing, they are known for longevity and not big sillage.
@@Grautonparfums yeah I figured that would be the case also before starting. After wearing these again after filming I can say some worked surprisingly well 🙂
Please give them a try before commenting . I have 3 of them. Oud ulya , and saffron hamra has amazing silage. I know some oils doesn’t but Amouage did really well with this
Not true. High concentrating oils do leave a sillage. Oud is the best examples. Theres attars that you roll on, just a dab on the wrist and neck and there will be a sillage
@@HaydarAlThwainiabsolutely agreed. Not all Atr are same. I’ve been wearing Atr “local Arab Brands” and they’re mind blowing. Infact some of the Atr Only available in local market, so we can’t even find in abroad. Any ways for my experience once you start wearing oud it’s really hard to go back for regular. Also weather, ambiance, time of the year and so many other facts are important factors for ATR how they react. perfumes. Of course there’re so many good perfumes out there.
It’s my understanding, from interviews of perfumers I’ve seen, that the modern way attars are used is basically as a base before applying your regular perfume to add some depth or dimension and extend longevity. Frederic Malle also stated that many people in the Middle East often call these ouds as well even though there is no real oud in them or even smell like ouds.
The idea totally makes sense and it's something that is already a concept with some brands' extrait version of fragrances. I always mention the Serge Lutens confits (extraits), clearly designed to be worn with the EDPs for added depth and longevity. In this case, the attars are not necessarily 1:1 with some other Amouages so I'm not really sure. It's definitely worth exploring though!
@@noumi3617 I have not smelled Lyric Man yet, I have a sample that I’ll be sniffing against another rose fragrance after pt2 of the attars. I’ll be having 2 videos where I search for my next rose fragrance (as I love rose) and if I don’t like what I try I’ll go for Rose Incense which is absolutely gorgeous. Rose Incense is totally ok for a man, it’s very smoky and dry.
@@noumi3617 actually, since you said you have the 12ml Rose Aqor, Rose Incense smells very similar to that, just less green and more cold white incense smoke.
@@SeldomlyOften when it dries down. I tried the incense one. Very cheap vanilla dry down. I’m a fan of Amouage during Christopher Chong leadership and I have some old vintage bottle of gold. These new ones doesn’t live up to the old glory.

What an absolute treat! You’ve really come into your own with these impressions videos 😋
@@theladycleo thanks so much, I really like doing these 🙂
It was great experiencing this with you! I've seen the attars at Dior boutiques and never thought about giving it a try. you sparked my interest
@@PainfulPig yeah was definitely fun trying these out! The more you test the better you learn what you like 🙃
What boutique was it? I do not think Dior sells those anymore.
@@SD._ still available in the boutique near me… I’m from the Middle East tho so that might be the reason
@@PainfulPig . Thank you for the reply. Maybe, it is not on their website though. I will ask at the boutique.

@@justaddlight thanks for the support 🙏
I just like speaking out loud about stuff I enjoy 😉
@@SeldomlyOften I'll have to give the Vanilla one a try myself.
@@justaddlight it’s really good, just very similar to Babycat, maybe with some incense in the back.

What you need is movement to get the scent to take off.
If I could afford it, I'd only wear attars (عطور)
@@FRD-HDD it’s a learning process for sure 👍
Happy to have had a chance to try these out 🙃
I'm a big fan of Zefiro but not many talk about it.
You mean from Xerjoff? I love it! I have a bottle, so underrated!
Amuaj Oud ulya👍👏👏👏
It's amazing! I checked it out in part 2!
Talking about rose fragrance, could you do a review on Lyric Man and Rose Incense, and if you they're masculine enough in your opinion ❤
