Been waiting for this one for awhile! This moved up to probably my #1 Amouage. It's a close call with Jubilation XXV. It's the most underrated Amouage imo. Such a beautiful scent, great review :)
@@RamseytheRam you seem like you care a lot about the house, I have seen him being interviewed a few times on UA-cam, I am sure many people would love to see that, he said he want Amouage to stay unique, there are many things that I am sure you would like to ask him directly. cheers ❤🙏
@@MotazDaw yeah, he was interviewed by paid reviewers that had nothing but good things to say to him. He doesn't do interviews with youtubers that are not in amouage's pocket. Because on an interview with Ramsey he would be put into a corner, asked about why he discontinued all the gems like bracken, figment, myths etc, and why he reformulated all the fragrances from Chong's era. I doubt he would be confortable in that position
Fate man ☠️ I remember getting my new bottle smelling the atomiser and thinking what’s the fuss then I sprayed it lol . Ohhh ok now i get it. Fate man is beautiful
What i coincidence, just TODAY i've catched a Fate Man 2017 and i 'm waiting for the order, i was searching today some reviews about it , but none were available and none of them described the scent the way i wanted to. Thanks for your review on this one, brother! that's why you're the OG
I kind of regret letting my bottle go some 8 years ago. At that time, I still couldn’t seem to let go of the curry and “foodie” associations with this scent 😂
Jameed was a pot on Ram! wonderful review as usual..it's so sad to see Fate Man and other gems from Amouage being discontinued but i'm fortunate to have a bottle of it and i absolutely love it.
On a roll with the Amouage reviews🔥 fate man suprised me more than I could ever of thought! So so good. The artwork for this and figment are my favourite
Fascinating review. I love your storytelling. Very vivid ! Love your passion for the art of perfumery. Unfortunately, Fate Man is discontinued . Karin Sphener also was the note behind my absolute favourite Memoir Man . Hopefully the fish man will bring these legendary fragrances back. Keep up the great work my friend 🙏🏿
You mention immortelle… perfect time for Sunshine Man full review!!!! It’s back on the Amouage site as of right now. They found some leftover stock(still discontinued), but people can buy it at retail(still stupid expensive since Amouage keeps price hiking, but better than resellers!!!!)
amazing review Mansaf with Gameed is something i’ve tried once from Jordanian friends back in days when i was living in Syria it didn’t came to my mind when i wear Fate, maybe i forgot how it taste/smells i need to find Mansaf in Egypt i miss it. cheers mate 💙
The seep factor of this scent definitely is big! My cat a few weeks ago was smelling like Fate Man for days after some cuddles. (And it really fit him 😂.) I'm glad I got over two bottles of this juice. The labdanum-prominent family of scents, which includes lovely gems like TF's Tobacco Oud and TT's Laudano Nero, is one of my favorites. Fate Man might be, as far as I am concerned, at the very top of that family.
I wish I enjoyed and understood this one as much as you. I have no problem learning to love the tough ones, as a proud owner of 2 bottles of Figment along with Myths, Opus IX, and some other challenging ones. I've downed 10 ml of Fate over 4 years and still passed on it unfortunately.
Love it Ram. I'm a sucker for Amouage Ram. It's a real shame you can't get cheap bottles of this any more - I'm all out! The cumin is fantastic, and I don't think of it as an animalic or BO funk, it's so dry. Glad you point it out. Immortel really sticks out to my nose. I do get the mandarin on the initial spray, but not for long - great breakdown. Opus IV is another one people frequently get wrong in reviews-there is way too much focus on the cumin or caraway in that. The Woman's version of Fate is also fabulously opulent with bomblike projection.
This knocked me for six lol, but it’s right up there in my top five Amouage, oddly not in my workplace hahaha have a great day buddy, super review 😆👊👍🤛
The Fate bottle reminds me of the Portrayal bottle (I adore Portrayal Man). Journey was my SOTD yesterday, tis a banger!!😮SOTD today is Dusita Oudh Infini and I cannot handle this amount of civet, poopy.
Love you reviews man, and when it comes to Amouage nobody does it better than you, just got this gem a few weeks ago, small bottle 50ml, my god its nice! Love cumin! Do an all cumin video! Any suggestions what to get as a cumin lover?
My most worn Amouage! I never got much sweaty cumin from this, more curry and licorice, dry, rough and dusty. Eau d'Hermes and Declaration on the other hand I can barely wear due to the sweaty cumin. When I first smelled Ambre Sultan I thought it was somewhat similar to this, especially the dusty vibe, but side by side they turned out to be quite different. Love both!
It is not my favourite style of fragrance but I can apreciate it... to me it smells like a dry, spicy, smokey, ambery scent. Also I cant really distinguish the cumin from all the spices in here so I guess it is very well blended. I feel that if they added a bit of sweetness in the base, it would be way more popular and probably not discontinued 😅
What an amazing take on one the best oriental spicy fragrance of all time. This fragrance is nostalgic for me. It reminds me of when I was young. My father used to marinate some lamb with his secret recipe, and the marination without the lamb it smells exactly like the beginning of the fate man. I've recently asked my father about the ingredients, and it turns out fate man has 3 of its top notes in his marination. 😂 I absolutely love this fragrance, and I don't agree with people who think this is just "cumin bomb" after 2-3 hours this fragrance turns magical for me. Thanks for the awesome review.
So good I had numerous times to grab one on discounters and passed. Now it’s discontinued. You can still get 9mls on scent split. Which is what I did. My fault! Same with figment! I’d only ever need a 50 of that but yea screwed that up too. Fate man’s bottle is beautiful along with the scent profile. Any other cumin forward fragrances you’d recommend? Thanks
There is something grounding and organic about Amouage frags, they make me feel good and remind of situations and places, etc maybe more so than any other house. Fate man is a gem 💎. Lately I haven’t been impressed with anything other than Silver Oud. Based on the notes and perfumer I sprang for Outlands when it launched, I’ve already sold it down the river…
Hey ram, love all the videos. If I’m someone who has never really smelled amouage, should I try and smell the modern formulations or try and find a way to smell the old versions? What would you do? Keep up the amazing work!
I would start with the easy to find vintages ... there are some that can still be had that people over look like myths man, Imitation Man etc... but nothing wrong with grabing the new stuff if that's what u can get
@@RamseytheRam Memoir Man, Fate Man, and Overture are 3 of my 4 top Amouages, the other being JubXXV. Myths is too difficult for me, Boundless not my thing, Lineage was very interesting though. I'll have to try some of her women's line as well as some more stuff she has done outside the brand!
Still my favorite house for the same reasons you have expressed..... I do disagree with you on one point. I dont think Amouage has sold out. I think they have experimented a little but they continue to put out great and unique, challenging fragrances. There are not many fragrance houses that when they put out a new fragrance I feel like I got to get it. But anytime Amouage does, i get the itch and feel i have to get it.
I just don't think there fragrances are unique or challenging since the change of leadership...the change in direction of the company is stark ...but that's just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Rams! Fate isn't a cumin bomb, check out ELDO Experimentum Crucis for that. Fate has a whole lot of actual perfumery behind it, as you discuss. I've come to appreciate my Fate samples since I first tried them.
Wearing some ROJA FETISH tonight to the gym. In a brooding mood 😡🤌🏾. Release some stress and anger with this Smokey sexiness . 😂 And it seems like they’re copying Scents of Wood with the barrels
@ 🤣. I just mean for me, it’s the first brand I feel that started the barrel situation … letting oils sit in specific barrels . They were the trend setters
That's not true... there were companies doing that before scents of wood if memory serves ... D.S. & Durga Spirt of the Glen I am pretty sure came out about a decade ago
@ I just mean as of late. I hadn’t heard of many brands or any at all doing it recently aside from them . And then now AMOUAGE with their OUTER BANKS release
One of my favorite scents of all time is vintage Sables by Goutal which is an immortel bomb. I find them to be super similar except fate has the signature amouage base carrying the spices and herbs. Immortel to a lot of people does smell like cumin so when I smell this scent all my brain interprets it as is immortel. I wore this for New Year’s Eve and had 6 women ask me what I was wearing. They wanted it for themselves which I agree it suits both genders really well
I really love your Amouage reviews Ram - the older stuff from them was amazing- so while I really enjoy these it makes me feel a bit sad at times with the direction they’re going in now. Anyway I’m still glad you’re on an Amouage kick with the review atm - really enjoying it 🐏🙏❤
Been waiting for this one for awhile! This moved up to probably my #1 Amouage. It's a close call with Jubilation XXV. It's the most underrated Amouage imo. Such a beautiful scent, great review :)
One of the most underrated Amouage for sure 💪🐏
Before knowing your channel, I really loved the perfume world..
Now ... I am honestly OBSESSED....
What a talent you've got Ramsey...
Thanks for being here with us my friend 🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely LOVE Fate Man. I have recently purchased one on FragranceX, and I wish I got 2 bottles. They're sold out now.
Congrats on grabbing one while you could...I love it too & am glad to have a bottle 🍻
I love your content, you should invite Renaud Salmon to a live interview, that would be so interesting to watch, talk about the future of Amouage.
😂😂😂
Yeah right
@@RamseytheRam you seem like you care a lot about the house, I have seen him being interviewed a few times on UA-cam, I am sure many people would love to see that, he said he want Amouage to stay unique, there are many things that I am sure you would like to ask him directly.

I doubt Mr Salmon would ever talk to Ramsey.

That is a coincidence lol
I'll have to check it. Fate woman is one of my top 2 Amouage fragrances
It amazing too! Sad to see them go 😒
I kind of regret letting my bottle go some 8 years ago. At that time, I still couldn’t seem to let go of the curry and “foodie” associations with this scent 😂
It does have a little bit of that food tilt doesn't it 🥙

Missed this one out along with Figment man, my loss, started collecting niche quite late in my life, Thanks Ram 🤩👍🏻
Appreciate you watching & commenting 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRamAlways welcome 🙏🏻🙏🏻
On a roll with the Amouage reviews🔥 fate man suprised me more than I could ever of thought! So so good. The artwork for this and figment are my favourite
We are on an Amouage Roll indeed!
Hi, Figment is sadly not that artistic...it goes pretty linear/simple and loses a citrusy aspect from the opening.
Fascinating review. I love your storytelling. Very vivid ! Love your passion for the art of perfumery. Unfortunately, Fate Man is discontinued . Karin Sphener also was the note behind my absolute favourite Memoir Man . Hopefully the fish man will bring these legendary fragrances back. Keep up the great work my friend 🙏🏿

i need to find Mansaf in Egypt i miss it. cheers mate 💙
Cheers mate 🍻
Hey Ramsey, would you consider making a general advice video on how to find vintage/discontinued fragrances? Maybe shout out a few go-to sellers?
Anooj at Enchanteperfumes

Wow that's an interesting comparison man
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
You should do a full beach hut man review next
It's on the list along with sunshine man & Gold Man & Lyric Man
I have two bottles of this gem 😍 love your review رمزي ❤
Nice! Congrats 🥳🥳🥳
I think people overstate the cumin in this fragrance. I find ginger to be just as prominent, especially in the opening.
👍🏻💪🐏
Nice review Ram! I have a sample of this, I’ll break it out and check it out again. 👍
Thanks for being here with us Lee ✌️

Sometimes it's like that with a fragrance... thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts 🙏
Cumin bomb? Grimoire Anatole Lebreton. Hands down. Fate is a lightweight. Plus it's also amazing fragrance.
Never smelled it
Thanks for watching & commenting 🙏
Nice review. I love cumin and immortelle in Fate Man. btw the packaging is stunning
It is one of my all time favorite packagings
Love it Ram.

This knocked me for six lol, but it’s right up there in my top five Amouage, oddly not in my workplace hahaha have a great day buddy, super review 😆👊👍🤛
Not in the old workplace ehhhhh?! Lol
The Fate bottle reminds me of the Portrayal bottle (I adore Portrayal Man). Journey was my SOTD yesterday, tis a banger!!😮SOTD today is Dusita Oudh Infini and I cannot handle this amount of civet, poopy.
😂😂😂
Yes Oudh infini is a lot of civet & oud lol
I agree Portrayal & Fate Man are two of my favorite bottles of all time...they are so awesome
Great Stuff Professor!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Much obliged my friend 🙏
Such a gem, shame that they discontinued it. Love Amouage, I will wear Interlude Man tomorrow to make sure I enjoy their masterpieces more! Cheers!
Yes I have been really focusing on my Amouages lately ... maybe a few more Amouage reviews to come soon 💪🐏

Just looked up jameed. Its white round balls. We have something like that indian sweets. Made out of cheese but it in sugar syrup. Totally opposite.
It's crazy how the cultures intertwined

Epic man, funnily enough I did consider fate man for today 🌙
Nice! 💪🐏

Scent Of The Day :
Amouage - Fate Woman

So close!
Talk about fate, I wore this today. Crazy.
Lots of fateful coincidences on this video 🌙

Absolutely 💯
This is one of my fav's unfortunately. Also, I completely agree on Karine Vinchen Spehner
She is one of my favs 😍

is the cumin in this release somewhat similar to the cumin note in roja's parfum de la nuit 3?
Vaguely maybe...but that's not what comes to mind imho
@@RamseytheRam more so in the vein of the cumin in overture man then? just trying to break it down to things i'm familiar with haha
Tabocco and Cumming for me this smells like Wet Tabocco and Pussycat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really?!🤔
@RamseytheRam not sure why, but that's what I get, and I truly enjoy this fragrance but that cumming just puts me there
Oh yes cool perfume
😎
Thanks for watching Andy
