AMAZING REVIEW 🔥💥🔥
Thanks so much for watching Anderey 🙏🙏🙏
@@RamseytheRam musk collection is unbelievable stunning 💯🙌🏼🏆🔥🔥🔥
@@AndreyPotapovArt Здравствуйте, Андрей! Я 2 часа назад распаковал Cuirtis и мне он очень нравится пока. Единственное, что доставка очень расстроила в этот раз. В течении нескольких дней запишем видео на Cuirtis. Дмитрий
Ramsey, I think your channel would improve with some time-stamps. Hour long episodes are a bit daunting.
Ya i have heard that before... I just don't have the time to do anything other than upload.... maybe one day when I get that hot assistant lol
@@RamseytheRam Well, I'm not a content creator myself, but I don't think it would be that hard. It's a great channel and I only think a few quality-of-life improvements would help it grow because it deserves it :)
I like that there's no timestamps. I feel like a hardcore fraghead when I sit through a two hour Ram video without skipping through
@@CarversFieldbook just put me on 2X's speed 🏃♂️💨
@@thundermorphineBut we enjoy every single second..did you ask us ? Just do your job dude/mam..
Hehey! The video i was waiting for. Good timing as well before the single bottle release tomorrow.
Great informative review! Thank you 🐏!
Thank you for watching & commenting mate 🐏🦍
@@RamseytheRam got myself Cuirtis, Royal Barn and Forbidden Flower. 🫡
Ngl, I like the smell of skunk oil. I'm in the PNW and it's a pretty common thing to smell in the fall and winter. It's weirdly nostalgic to me. The hemp would seemingly go well with skunk as they share some notes.
Yes I really liked it and would love to have a bottle if $ was no issue 😅
@@RamseytheRam yeah, I was laid off about a month ago and while I have some very good prospects, I'm holding fire for now. But the second I get a job offer I'm click "purchase"
@@joesmellsgood sorry to hear that man... good luck on the job search 🤜🤛🏻
@@RamseytheRam they gotta do what they gotta do. I appreciate it, but think it will end up better for me anyway. Everyone I know who has left where I worked is getting 20-40% more elsewhere and based on what I've seen, I'll get at least that. So I'll finally have the sort of eff you money to buy Areej la Dore stuff without concern, well, except that my wife probably will have a thing to say lol
How did I miss this live stream?!!!!!! lol this why you're the goat. Or rather the Ram.
👑🐏
Sorry I wasn't able to catch the live stream, Ramsey. I did listen to it to hear your thoughts on the Musk Collection. Great review for initial impressions. I was able to score the Full Set, and anxiously awaiting UPS to deliver it as I type this. Looking forward to the next live stream!
You got the whole set!? Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳
You scored a lemon😂 what a waste of money
I wish Adam went back to 30ml bottle personally, firstly they would be cheaper which I’m sure everyone would appreciate, also he would have more juice to go around meaning more people could get them, I understand the production cost are more but I would happily have a plan bottle in a plan box if I could have more bottles. This collection was the first time I missed getting a sample set as they sold so quickly. I know blind buying ALD isn’t really risky as I’m sure I’d love them all but it’s still better to sample first 😢
That's a great recommendation 👍🏻
Ahhggg. Yup,that's how I do people like that too.
Civet de Nuit had vintage civet in it. I thought it would have been more like Kouros.
Now we know. Honestly, if Russian Adam came out with an uber civet, musk and oud, people would complain
because it was unwearable.
Going to pick up Cuirtis.
You will like Cuirtis... it feels like Areej Le Dore meets Ensar Oud 😏
@@RamseytheRam Just picked it up.
@@JohmathanBSwift hell ya! Congratulations 🥳 🎊
@@RamseytheRamYup Yup.
Congratulations with your bottle of Cuirtis 🥳 I hope it will be fantastic. I was thinking to buy also Royal Barn, but in the end bought only Cuirtis. I wish I could smell them all before blind buying.
Already sampled Cuirtis, absolutely loved it, 10/10 in my books. Now i have Royal Barn on the way, i hope i like it just as much :)
Cuirtis & Royal Barn are neck & neck for me
@@RamseytheRam just got the sample in yesterday, royal barn is a 10 for me. And I agree with you apart how they are neck and neck
Missed the stream but thanks for doing an overview. Hope I can get Curtis since I love leather.
I am excited to hear more about the new Papillon fragrance and the interview with Liz Moores! I got Anubis after listening to the first interview and loved it. Now I own two other ones and can’t wait to try the new one.
Absolutely .... Liz Moores is one of the best creators in the niche space right now 👏🏻
I got Cuirtis and it does remind me of War and Peace. In the dry down of Cuirtis, maybe you didn't get there in your review, the Animalic castoreum becomes heavy. Even more than War and Peace.
I'm getting a 1.5 ml of Antiquity. Glad I will be able to finally try it.
I haven't reviewed Cuirtis yet
Glad you got a bottle 😊
I'm waiting for the full set of five bottles 💥💥💥💥💥
You are a lucky man! 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam 🙏I'm really looking forward to your detailed reviews of each fragrance.
I really want to pick up the skunk oil one...
🦨
I've been studying Creme de la Creme for a possible purchase in the future.
Thanks for your review, as I feel it's accurate, and makes me lean towards a purchase, Ram.
I love the heavy hitters, but I have War and Peace, Curtis, Ottoman Empire...
But t I like great herbal frags as well. Dior Granville us my signature for Summer and #1 green frag.
I liked Al Majmua the best from Attar collection.
So I am shopping for a great Areej that's not one of the heavy hitters. Would like Indolis or Whalima.
Maybe Creme de la Creme, would fit as, "now for something completely different", as Monty Python used to say ..
I like a great sandalwood, Creed Boise Portugal is my #1 sandalwood.
@@gedvalaitis4877 yes if money was no issue I would totally buy a bottle 🐳
I have the full set of bottles and Creme de la Creme seemed soft and underwhelming on my wrist, but when I wore it it completely blew me away...surrounded in a cloud of bliss all day and the dry down is so complex because a cherry cola tobacco vibe comes out all in this mystical aura of salt . It is similar to Roja's Kingdom of Bahrain in that it combines sage, Ambergris and Oud and has a semi-gormand dry down, although KB has a lot of citrus in the opening.
I was thinking the same thing.. I need to wear them to fully appreciate the fragrance 💪🐏
Haha i'm only at the beginning of the video, maybe it was the wrong day to wear a white shirt 🤭 really like your videos, I will enjoy this one!
🤣🤣🤣
Probably correct lol
Happy to report, made the order for Royal barn 👏🏻 I had planned on getting Creme da la cream bec I love ambergris but the feedback didn’t motivate me about. This time I made sure to order on the first minute not the third 🤣 I still can’t believe how fast the sample set was sold out
Hoping Royal barn will live up to the name 👑
It is beautiful... you will be Happy... it's a more animalic take on civet de nuit meets Antiquity ... fantastic
I love the house but hate their shipping, I am in EU and they struggle to send, and now will have to wait for the full set from Indonesia, its frustrating seeing people get their set in 3 to 4 days in EU and its been 2 weeks for them to only say they cannot ship for wtv reason and need to wait god knows however long.
Yeah I hear ya... in the grand scheme of things though as long as you get your bottles I would be happy .. these will be collector items in the future 💪🐏
Cheers Rams, delighted for your wonderful gifting bottles,really deserved. Now so much mixed review comments on this line is a little disconcerting?? . I was just going to grab a bottle of Forbidden Flower but on listening to this live and the comments I may do a switcharoo to Royal Barn as it is a go to genre and wheelhouse scent for my taste, appreciate the heads up my friend bravo 👏🏻 great honest and fair impression of the line 🙏✌️👍
Thanks so much Bren... I hope you got your clicking finger ready 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam lol I’m working tomorrow Rams and I’m not too confident to be honest but I’m sure gonna try 👍🥂
Ramsey, I have a question? I have only smelled Russian Oud from Areej. I have a bottle and quite like it. I am very much into ambery scents and don’t mind sweetness mixed with resinous bases. I don’t mind a little animalic, but not an overdose. I’m thinking Crème is the best one of this collection for me. I also
Have never smelt real ambergris and am interested in that. I don’t have time to sample(and they’ve sold out lol). With the little description I gave which do you think would best suite my taste? Also do you know if you have to pay any import fees when you buy a bottle from Areej or is that included in shipping cost at checkout? I’m in the USA. I got my Russian Oud back when Luckyscent used to carry some of his offerings. Going to try for a bottle🤷♂️🤷♂️
None of these are super animalic but Royal Barn & Cuirtis are the more animalic to me....but I think you will like Creme de la Creme
I don't think you pay import taxes or fees but not 100% sure
@@RamseytheRamwas able to pick up a bottle of Crème de la Crème!! Expensive blind buy, so I hope I do enjoy it!! Excited about the real ambergris and actually I don’t have any scents that smell Minty. Closest would be Memoir Man, which to me isn’t minty. Thanks by the way for the recommendation of Overture Man! Got that in yesterday and it’s amazing!! Sadly it’s a new bottle with the name under the emblem and new box design. Smells amazing and one spray lasted to the morning I woke up!
Hi Ramsey, I heard this Musk collection was all sold out.
But I looked on the Areej le Dore site, and they still have Curtis for $300.
I have war and Peace, and I'm not a big leather fan. So I'm passing on it.
Thanks for watching & commenting mate 🙂
In terms of Jasmine and Oud, how would you rate Oud Jasmine by Royal Crown? The most realistic and opulent jasmine I've ever smelled.
Never smelled it...but I doubt it's anywhere near the jasmine in an ALD or Feel Oud
Trust me my friend, give it a try. Royal Crown is an amazing house.
I actually like the heavy florals in this collection . I missed your live by 2 hrs
Thanks for watching after the fact and sharing your thoughts 🙏🙏🙏
I can see the use of heavy florals in paradise soil , forbidden flower !
But I believe that’s the way it should be !
His goal was to do a complete composition and not just to make animalic bombs !
Musk collection is a true winner for me 🤩
Cuirtis & Royal Barn being my favourites
! I’m happy you’re getting those 2 👌✌️and also waiting for individual detailed reviews my brother
Thank you my friend... we have similar tastes 🙏🙏🙏
I'd be terrified to spray anything on such shirt or even just move around 🙂lol
I was curious to sample this collection, got an email that it's available, casually checked website and it was all sold out and I'm like meh, I'm not playing that game, not ready to sit by the clock and jerk the refresh button. Some (many) things in life are just passing by, can't smell it all.
Thinking of splurging on a musk pod though...
That would be cool 😎
How much is a musk pod??
About a grand, more or less depending on size
Can you please review Casablanca by St Claire?
I don't own it... but if I get some or if someone sends me a decant I will be glad to 🤌🤌🤌
@@RamseytheRamAmerican viewers, send the Ram a decant please
I tried to order the sample set, it was 3 minutes after releases and it was already sold out because I guess I wasn’t fast enough to put my shipping details amazing lol
It is amazing indeed.. but full bottles are released tomorrow...snag one 🤞🏻
@@RamseytheRam yeaaah I know I have my timer set but I don’t know which one to get now that I couldn’t smell any ;( I’m glad you posted this now I can have an idea
Enjoying tfs
Absolutely... thanks for being here with us 🙏🙏🙏
Have you decided on getting any of the single bottle release?
Cuirtis & Royal barn
@@RamseytheRamgiven the mixed reviews online, it might be readily available this time for much longer
I actually thought Paradise Soil would be the first to sell out.
I’m shocked that royal barn was so highly sought after. And then crème de la crème
If I could pick one more to buy it would be Creme de la Creme 🐳
@@RamseytheRam
I forgot to ask you. Being that you smelled all five fragrances. How would you rank the animalic aspects of the musk collection in comparison to Fiona (TSVGA). ( excluding the Oud element)
These aren't as animalic as Fiona....but I liked them all
@@RamseytheRamRamsey which one is the best from AREEJ L DORE
Excited for this video, thanks! SOTD is Norne by Slumberhouse
Yoo im on the slumberhouse train today also SOTD: pear & olive 😊
Thanks so much for watching & commenting 💪🐏
@@pullingthestrings5233 hoping for his return sometime soon!
@@armenkaprelian fr one of the houses that really truly speak to me. I own 5 from the house and feel like i missed out on so many when i had the chance to pick them up.
@@pullingthestrings5233 yes. Unfortunately the "refinements" made to the 2022 versions of Jeke and Ore in my opinion were very negative. They became overly sweet and missed the rustic nature that made the house iconic. I hope his future releases do not continue with that motif
I have t
wo bottles of paradise soil,...Does anyone not have it and want to trade for another areej la dore?
Thanks for watching 🙂
Paradise soil is Russian Adam's favorite, that's all I gotta say
In his UA-cam video on the areei le dore channel he said it was Royal Barn ... but if he changed his mind I don't blame him... Paradise Soil is one of the most amazing floral frags specially Jasmine I have ever smelled 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam it was on the question section in his stories, I guess everyone's taste is different 👌
Hello, Ramsey. I purchased and received today 1 bottle of Areej le Doré Cuirtis. I just got back at home from work and saw a parcel on my concrete pavement behind the fence (05.04.2024). It was from Omar Le from Netherlands… I have opened the parcel on a video. It’s a bottle of Cuirtis, the black box with letters C&T is damaged from falling to concrete pavement, but the bottle looks good, not crashed. In the parcel box there wasn’t any protection inside, only one sheet of A4 paper. I’m shocked from this DHL delivery, it’s absolutely awful.
I will tell this in our video. We’ll try to film it on this Saturday of Sunday.
And the tracking number is different than I received in email from Areej le Doré, but the name and address are mine.
I have no any notifications on my phone or e-mail about that this parcel is delivered to me, no one called or wrote me from delivery company…
Thanks for sharing ... I know he uses different distribution centers all over the world... maybe they didn't do a good job packing and shipping it to you
@@RamseytheRam Yeah, the shipping this time was a sad experience unfortunately. But I really enjoy Cuirtis for the last 2 hours, I did 4 sprays. It reminds me a bit of some old leather chypres like Rogue Chypre-Siam, Knize Ten, also has some vibe like in Antaeus and Areej Cuir de Russie. I love all of them 😄 Dmitry
Is Cuirtis your favorite or it’s Royal Barn now?
Man I can't decide... it's a toss up for me Still at the moment
@@RamseytheRam And by the way, this year I’m watching only your videos about fragrances 😁🥳
@@RamseytheRam 👌 I think I love Areej Cuir de Russie more, it’s really blowing my mind.
I wish I could smell Royal Barn, but it’s almost impossible now.
Royal Barn > Cuirtis ?!
Not prepared to answer that one
@RamseytheRam
hehehehe
Broo, I need 2 know
Because I got Royal Barn Blind & was my First Areej & now having the opportunity to get Cuirtis Sealed for gd Price
but Blind two
so yeah, what would be your call?
They are both full bottle worthy IMHO
But I am not ready to rank one over the other
Creme de la creme is the only one that seems interesting to me.
It is very interesting indeed... I am enjoying the dry down 🐳
Ramsey those divorces are killers to the pocket ..
Yes they are ....but they can't touch my mind heart or soul
I am the hapliest I have ever been in my entire life
Life is good 👍🏻
@@RamseytheRam I haven't been around a lot Ramsey.
The commenter mentioned divorce?
@@JohmathanBSwift yup over 8 months into the process...just trying to get it over with
@@RamseytheRam A very good friend of mine was recently divorced. I actually like being around him now. Nearing the end of his marriage, he was intolerable to be around. Since the divorce, he's lost considerable weight. He's the head IT Director of a company. His house is clean and he's fun to be around again. She was a dirty bird in all its meanings.
I love your videos Ramsey. Your passion, charisma, and objectivity always shines through in your content. However, you do seem to lose the objectivity a little when it comes to Areej Le Dore 😉
Fragrance is subjective and I don’t doubt your love and enthusiasm for Russian Adam’s work. However, the way in which his fragrances are marketed and sold is genius from Adam’s perspective but shockingly unfair on customers. If Amouage deployed the same marketing techniques you would crucify them 🤣
Customers should be afforded the time to sample and critique before deciding whether or not to pull the trigger on a full bottle. However, sample sets are in short supply and are usually sold out within seconds. The only way to try his fragrances is via a very risky & expensive blind buy. Even that requires an incredible amount of good fortune. I have blind bought most of Adam’s releases in the last 2-3 years and have mostly been left disappointed. Beauty & the Beast and Siberian Musk are among the few winners but I have arrived at the conclusion that this brand is overhyped and overrated. I would take a mainstream niche house over Areej any day. Cheers!
You got a point here, however I mostly loved the classic collection apart from 0eIV. From this collection they seem a bit meh but the only ones I liked are cuirtis and cdlc
The difference is Amouage has never worked with real musk...how can an ingredient so rare have unlimited bottles sitting on the shelf for everyone to try? He is also a one man shop
Last point is if a big house ever got into this market they would buy the whole supply or drive prices through the roof once they bought the whole supply and no one else could get any real siberian musk let's say
When it comes to work with real Oud / Real Musk / Real Ambergris it's all give and take
Look at ensars new Lion Lust... 2600 dollars for one bottle
I am happy with what Adam is doing personally it's not 100 % fair (there are still bottles I can't get that are my all time favorites) but it's as fair as can be IMHO
@@RamseytheRamFair enough mate. We all have our opinions and you make some fair arguments. I just look at other one man/woman operators such Bortnikoff, Prin, Papillon, Ensar, Et al. They all seem capable of producing quality artisanal fragrances that are readily available for purchase. Musk Khabib for instance uses real musk and has been available for years. Bortnikoff also sells sample sets on his website. Perhaps Adam could continuously crank out his best work in the same fashion, obviously with the caveat that the scents may change slightly from batch to batch. You touched on this in your livestream. Cheers!
The English king you speak about was Henry VIII.
Yes that's right! I wouldn't mind some Ambergris with my eggs this morning 😂👑🐏
@@RamseytheRam😅 Go ahead. Let me know how they are.

@@RamseytheRam🎉
After saying all that i'm rolling the dice and going for a Cuirtis bottle, ha... my main point was Russian Adam's work used to spectacular, but now it's more like very good, and if you ranked all his work, the last few collections would easliy be at the bottom of the pile for the majority of fans.
PS, not wanting to spread misinformation, i got it a little mixed up about the 'musk duck' the scent gland isn't on their head, it's on their rump, and the males rub musk oil onto their head and bill lobe. Now, i just need to find a trapper in Australia to milk some ducks 😂
Milking ducks you say

I like it! Well I have a love hate relationship with it
