    Great review. I'm very much looking forward to sampling this and seeing the progression from the first to the third. I also very much like Bel Respiro, so will look forward to your impressions of it.

    Great Talk Ramsey. From your description of it being reminiscent of vintage masculines it sounds like it might not be my thing but I’ll still give it the ol’ college sample. Belle ame seems more like my abstract of choice for now, but I am also waiting for something that’s a vintage feminine/unisex from antoine and eugen.

    From your descriptions the notes that I suspect are Fir balsam, galbanum, violet leaf MOC replacer, Aldehyde c12 MNA (coriander), wormwood/artemisia, jasmine, animalics:(civet, atlas cedar, and cumin, labnanum) oakmoss, and sandalwood. Just for fun, I want to see what hits.

    • @RamseytheRam
      @RamseytheRam  Рік тому

      Very good guesses.. I would think pine resin because it was sticky & maybe some other animalics mixed with the civet .. but it is a fantastic perfume

  • @willmarshall4685
    @willmarshall4685 Рік тому +1

    There are not any big floral base 70-80’s fragrances that remind me of Des Cendres. A few Italian chypres maybe? Sergio Saldono’s White? But not really, ss white is a powdery iris bomb. Armani Beverly Hills….kind of…but that fragrance experience was overwhelming and not subtle. This fragrance is very strange in that it makes my brain think 70’s cyphre….but the floral base is so much better than anything from that era. It’s soft and subtle and all of the animalics, pine, tar and pachouli are hiding in a cloud of flowers…peaking out from time to time. I love it.

    Wow, amazing review Ram!! 🙌🏼 You didn’t put the pin on the calandar but you did put a scratch on the bottle😂. “Smells like a vintage” is the highest praise coming from you. I love how you bring up that women can wear it. I wear Fahrenheit no problem as I find the florals light and airy. I have Antaeus and while I find it fascinating it’s a bit harder for me to wear but I’ll keep trying. This was a really great breakdown as usual and maybe even better because you didn’t read the notes so we really got your unadulterated impressions.

    • @RamseytheRam
      @RamseytheRam  Рік тому +1

      Thanks so much for that.. my pro tip is there are some serious florals in here ... even though it doesnt smell like there are florals in here ... like you are staring at the burnt tree but the flowers are in the periphery of your vision on the ground.. you glance past them... but they are there 🌼🌸🌻🌹🏵

    Yes! Someone's talking about this. I received a sample a while ago when I got Belle Ame and love it. I wasn't sure I could talk about it yet 😅
    I never thought about Devin but now that you mention it I see what you mean. I kinda got things like vintage Bandit. I have been trying to sort out exactly what I'm smelling. I definitely smell galbanum, maybe Anjelica, some incense and or labdanum but I haven't got it figured out yet. I do however love it 👌 I definitely get old school vintage vibes.

    So this fragrance could easily be named "The spirit of the past".
    I will buy Des Cendres (not really blind 'cause you've just told us what it's like) and before the first sniff, the background music must be The Sixth Symphony (Pastoral), from my idol, a genius who also loved meditations in the forests around Wien, and, of course, it was Ludwig Van Beethoven.
    He was so inspired by the beauty of nature, and Eugen just reminds me on him.
    Thank you Ramsey for this analyses and we hope for a new live stream with Eugen or Antoine Lee personally.

    Sounds great. I wish the brand sold smaller samples. I don’t need 2ml to make up my mind; 0.5ml can often be enough. $15 for a sample isn’t very approachable, but perhaps if the brand grows, samples will be available from third parties.
