Fantastic review. The way you go into the fine detail of the original, a bit of context and history, and then list the clones. Informative and entertaining. Thanks
Thanks for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it…and looking forward to seeing you on the next review…till then stay safe, keep spraying….and enjoying the fragrance….JL
Appreciate the insight into this fragrance. You have a delivery about you that is spot on. I picked up the Instant Love largely because of your review, and since I had Untold already, I wanted to see what you had to say and you did not disappoint. Cheers!
I’m really grateful for your comments and I appreciate your support….thank you my friend…. And I look forward to seeing you on future reviews….best wishes from JL
Love this stuff Leggy. Probably gets the most compliments of all my fragrances so far. The women at work love it. Some own the clones from perfume parlour etc. But they don’t perform like this beauty. Only drawback is the Mrs hates it. I have to shower before being allowed in bed. But even then you can still faintly smell it😊 I risk divorce but I will always include Untold in my fragrance rotation 👍
You know my friend, of all the clones I have of BR540 this is the king…and although I do own the original in a strange way reach for this one over it….ARMAF absolutely nailed it….i just don’t want to think about the day when they reformulate it like they did with CDNIM 🥲. And yes you are correct it is a smell that you either love or hate (there’s nothing in the middle) and I have noticed over the years that while some fragrances can grow on people this one is a case of first love or first hate….and that never changes. Really appreciate you sharing your experience and thoughts on this fragrance (and your wife’s thoughts too 😬)…. Always good to hear from you… stay safe, keep spraying and I hope to see you on the next review. Best wishes from JL
"Reformulation" is the reason I bought four bottles of this beauty since its release. I have a feeling those 4 bottles wiĺl last me quite a long time as I'm rotating fragrances daily, including my other BR540 clones. Literally the first day I wore 2 sprays to work, I was told by one coworker not to wear it again because of its effect it had on her at work as soon as I walked in.😂
Hello, Legg! Hello, I'm new to the world of fragrances and I just bought this bottle, it will arrive in a few day. I would like to know if untold has been reformulated and what differences you think there are and how you advise me to notice what kind of Untold I'll get. Blessings! 🎉
Good evening to you my friend, okay so I bought a bottle some time ago, and it was when here in the UK it was only available from 1 seller on eBay UK….no other retailers listed it on their websites…so I guess mine is an early bottle…(to be fair as soon as I got it and smelled it I was straight back on eBay and purchased another bottle) now I have heard whispers that it has been reformulated but as I am still on my original bottles I can’t confirm that for sure. Someone else seeing this posted here might be able to answer your questions….. but I can confirm that the current bottles are similar to the original ones then you are in for a treat…..best wishes from JL….👌
Hi Leggy. I've purchased few fragrances through your recommendation, all sport on. Please.... could tell me the product date and end date of your Untold bottle mate. Thanks in advance Bossman Leggy. 👍🏽
Batch- 377166,08242. PD= 11/2022…it doesn’t state an end date??? Anyways I’m hoping that this information is helpful to you….stay safe and never stop spraying…..😎….JL
I purchased Armaf Untold. It is great. I thought it did not last an hour one day. I was disappointed and tried to return the bottle. but they would not take it. I tried it again and it lasted all day. I do not know what happened that 1-hour day. I might have washed it off and not remembered. I love the smell. May try the Al-Haramain Al Haramain Amber Oud Ruby Perfume which is supposed to be good.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this fragrance…. It is a kinda fragrance that the wearer can go nose blind and I find that the nose blindness depends upon how you spend your day…ie whether you are sitting still or moving around…or whether you are warm or cold or sometimes depending on the other smells you are experiencing during the day. Anyways sounds like it is a good job you couldn’t return it as it does perform good……stay safe and keep spraying….JL
Great review as always leggy, I remember smelling br540 first time it won me over straight away, I got a clone of it - Orientica Amber rouge- it's okay bit too sweet me if anything. I see Armaf done a few newbies I'm going to have to have at look at them I've got the older ones and love the milisime imperial clone -gold bottle- but my fave is the armaf silage, it the silver mountain water clone - silver bottle- worth 20 pounds all day long. I usually use Notino for my fragrances but I'll have to have a mooch on all beauty now never really thought about trying there. Keep up the awesome reviews mr leggy
No review is complete until a Wayne M comment…yes BR540 is a stunning fragrance…and if you are a fan…which YOU are then this untold will win your heart…it captures the sharp…piercing jasmine and amber complete with the sticky sweet saffron…where as many clones fall short this untold captures it perfectly…and as for the performance…. I get the same as the original .. allbeauty.com £65…you will have no regrets….stay safe…keep spraying and see you on the next one….JL
Thanks for your questions my friend…ok so I would describe it as very unisex…having said that it is sticky sweet deep and sharp…so don’t expect an Alfa male fragrance…but do expect something which smells like wealth…something that is very sexy and something that will get you attention (in a very good way 😉) although BR540 (or Armaf untold) is a popular choice it does still come across as unique and people who smell it on you are aware that you are not just wearing a mainstream designer fragrance…you are wearing something very special. For all the people I have ever sprayed it for I have learned that it is an acquired taste, BR540 is a love or hate…. If you are not familiar with BR540 I would suggest that maybe you went to a fragrance counter that sell it and had a sample…. Because if you’re okay with the original MFK then you will appreciate the Armaf untold. I hope my logic and my answer is understandable, best wishes from JL.
Such an awesome response mate! You are a legend! Love your videos also. Funny, informative, passionate! You are great! Keep them coming! I will try and test the Armaf when I can, currently sold out where I am so hard to get access. As soon as they stock it people are buying it in droves. Wish you a Merry Christmas, thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me! All the best
would love to hear your thoughts on the other two new Armaf CDN line which is Urban Man Eilxir (Sauvage+hints of Aventus) and Iconic (BDC) soon thank you
All I get out of the Barakkat Rouge is fir! It’s a fir bomb on me. Ana abidiyah smells like almost nothing! It took months of maceration to get it to even last 2 hours
I get the fir, but it’s a pity that you don’t get the other notes (jasmine, amber, saffron etc) as far as Ana abiyedh rouge goes in terms of performance I have heard that newer batches are not as good as the older ones 😬….maybe that is true!?!?….best wishes from JL
This one is amazing…and I have seriously worn it solid for nearly 4 weeks, it doesn’t particularly need overspraying, as it lasts longtime, I took it to work and most people sprayed it to try it, I’ve also shared with neighbours and friends…anyone who likes BR540 is currently purchasing this untold because it’s crazy for its price point!! On clothes it lasts all week…skin…next day and it means you never need purchase the real BR540 again….JL
Great to hear from you again, and sorry I’m useless at technology and not sure how to send a link…but if it helps it is currently available for sale at…. Allbeauty.com Not sure if they ship internationally but give it a try…I really hope this helps…and I hope you get a bottle….much love from England…JL
I do have urban man elixir and while the smell is gorgeous the performance on my skin is NOT….so I am allowing it to macerate to see if it improves…a review will be soon…..JL
I gotta say i disagree, i got a decant of this because im weary of clone frags at this point. This smells very similar to manceras instant crush, try it out and compare because they are almost identical. Kind off in the same family as baccarat but more instant crush imo
Thanks for your comments and input, great to hear from you…I guess it’s crazy how we all feel about these fragrances…I’m a humongous fanboy of all things Mancera and especially instant crush as I get so many compliments when wearing it…however whilst my nose puts untold on the same bench I still feel way more of a BR540 clone than instant crush…always good to hear from other noses as it gives a balanced opinion…thank you again…best wishes from JL
Thank you for your question, I do 4 on the neck region and then haze across my T-shirt and that is good enough to last all day…and will guarantee a nice flow of compliments …😉
@@JONLEGG the rouge is the best BR dupe I’ve ever smelled. Haven’t smelled Ruby yet but man oh man the Amber oud rouge is amazing. Don’t know that it’s worth the mark up tho
All these years…😂🤣😂..I kinda thought it was like his first name 🤣🤣…especially as I know someone called Mason…just presumed it was the French spelling 😂🥲😂…my bad!!! Next time I bump into him I’ll apologise and buy him a drink 😅…great to hear from you lovin your comments…JL
Thank you for your question my friend, BR540 extrait differs from the original BR540 because it has a bitter cherry almond note that dominates the top end…under the cherry almond is basically the original BR540. So the two are very similar…it is just the cherry almond (deep and rich almond) that makes it different. Armaf untold is a fantastic clone of the original BR540….I hope I have answered your question…best wishes from JL
