    I have got this for £65 and I can not tell a part. I also have Tomford oud wood. They smell the same and this is surprisingly cheap. In my opinion if anyone live near the store which they can taste it out would be to remove the cap of the atomiser and see if it’s white plastic or gold. That way you can tell this apart. I checked everything is the box and looks very legit to me.

    I just got the same in the Netherlands via Vinted. Has anyone really found out if this is the fake?

      Most the comments on here suggest it is fake. Unfortunately, I do not have a thameen stockist near me to check it out. I hope yours is the real deal, though if this is a fake it smells amazing. 👍

    I have a bottle coming. I paid £95 for a 50ml and the seller has 500 different bottles in the background of his photos so is obviosuly a real collector. That aside, I am still worried. He has 100% positive feedback so fingers crossed. I think the cheap box interior in your video is a giveaway. I have heard that real Thameen has a velvet padding. Wish me luck, if mine is fake too then at least we have each other for solidarity!

    The 50ml ones where the user has sold over 100 going for 65 are 100% real.

      @AlpineMontane  Місяць тому +1

      Yes I saw these. It is confusing why these were so cheap. Usually if it is too good to be true than it is usually not real.

      @@AlpineMontane Yeah that's what I thought but everyone is saying it's real and it smells high quality, I think it's one of the rare times that it's just a good deal. Thameen is a british company too so might have something to do with how some people got their hands on a lot of stock and are selling it for cheap.

    Hi, good review. Having had it a while, would you still say it’s good? Or likely fake?

    • @AlpineMontane
      @AlpineMontane  19 днів тому

      Thank you. I have to say I really do not know. It smells really high end quality and It is usually easy do identify a dupe. However, the packaging has been pointed out as not the same as authentic 50ml versions. 👍

    This is some amazing juice. I have a bottle aswel. Its meant to smell exactly like tom fords oud wood I have a bottle of that to. But this stuff is made to last unlike oud wood. Great purchase. It's amazing. If you have any questions let me know can always look at my bottle to compare I bought from harrods. Lovely scent 🎉

      Thank you. Having spoke with the seller he assured me it was legit and offered me my money back if I was not happy. There was also a batch code at the bottom, back, of the bottle in black. He did say to take it to Thameen shop for verification. Decided to keep it as it does smell phenomenal.

    I've tried samples of this before and I must admit I do like it.... But I might get hate for saying this but I actually prefer TF oud wood.. Maybe something to do with I've been using it for many years... Alot of folk will say" yeah but tf oud wood has terrible performance" but I personally have no issue with it.... It definitely isn't a beast mode fragrance... But I get a good 7 hrs of decent performance with it and I'm more than happy with that... I don't think it was ever designed to be a loud fragrance

    • @AlpineMontane
      @AlpineMontane  Місяць тому +1

      Since first trying OW two weeks ago it has quickly become a favoured fragrance in the collection. OW has been worn several times now and there is certainly no performance issue. It is had to make a comparison between CO & OW as this may not be legit. If this CO is legit I would have to say OW is the better fragrance out of the two.

    The inside part where the bottle sits should be a velvet type material, yours is something else. The bottom of the box should also have thameen london coming out of the glass, as in not on just on the sticker but literally on the glass in big font. It could just be theres different versions of packaging though because i got a 50ml and yeah it smells very high quality right from when i first spray it. If the quality seems high then it might just be real but mine smells way higher quality than versace oud noir.

    • @AlpineMontane
      @AlpineMontane  Місяць тому +1

      Yes it does smell much better quality than Oud Noir. I feel it just shares a similar dna though on a much higher level.

      I have had my eye on BDK for a while though have yet to pull the trigger on buying any. We are just entering Autumn/Winter here in the UK. If there are any colder seasons suitable BDKs let me know and I try and have a look at them. 👍

      VANILLE LEATHER is unisex from BDK fall/winter fragrance, might be leaning more feminent in my opinion. But great fall winter for men is TOM FORD NOIR EXTREME. Women love that one
