Josephine is one of my favorite reviewers. She has exquisite taste and has gone through school in perfumery and works in the perfume industry so she’s very knowledgeable as well.
Once I saw her reaction to Reflection Man, I was ready to stop the video and go shopping. I am definitely getting a full bottle of this fragrance. Give me the biggest bottle they have!
you all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me.
Reflection man is definitely the one that I enjoy the most. Love wearing this for the office. So manly (inspite of the jasmin), gentlemanly and professionally smelling. I have smelled so many niche fragrances in my life, this is definitely one of my favorite ones for sure.
Fantastic video! Jus de Rose is always so incredibly delicate and precise at the same time. FM added tons of beauty and elegance inviting her for this, let's say, cozy meeting. Congrats!
The first ever niche fragrance sample I bought from Ebay was Reflection Man. It was spring time and the sun was shining through the window and reflecting off everything in the room,and the smell of the fragrance fit with the images perfectly. How Amouage is able to create these fragrances so masterfully is just amazing! Amouage is special.
Great Video! Great setting! Very relaxed and comfortable. I have seen Videos where they bring guests on and it is extremely awkward, but I think yall had great chemistry!
one of the best perfumery reviews on the internet!.Such a pleasant discussion throughout. I've just started getting into Amouage. I had to get reflection, honour man. Keep up the awesome stuff :)
Dia is good for wearing for you just relaxing. Interlude is the banger you can draw power from. Journey and Reflection are spectacular daily drivers. Never tried Fate. Beach Hut is worth it for summer, though more like the edge of a jungle than beach. On short list Sunshine and Overture.
Of those two, in terms of wearability, Beach Hut. But, if you are craving for an insane smoky incense bomb, then pick Interlude. I have the magnetic caps and both of these have beastly longevity. Journey could also be a good starting off point. Not as heavy as the previous two. Still makes an impact and versatile as heck.
*Nice impressions from Josephine! Her great taste picks up the good stuff & her enjoyment of RM warms up our hearts, innit Chris? 😁 Have a chilly sunday!* ✌🌞☕
Yes, the OG Dior Eau Sauvage EDT (1966) had, IIRC, up to 3% hedione, and it was the first (at least major) fragrance to use hedione. Eau Sauvage EDT is my second favorite frag of all time. The Eau Sauvage Extreme (early 1980's), and Eau Sauvage EDP 2012/2017 are all of similar DNA to my nose and much different than the 1966 OG EDT. I don't like the later extreme/EDP's. BTW, my favorite Amouage is the underrated Bracken Man. Together with Houbigant Fougere Royale 2010 maybe the best example of a classical Fougere. Deep green and earthy. Pure art.
Great video again for Sunday morning,just wondered have you tried sunshine man (Lavender bomb) from Amouage,takes a bit of getting used too but it’s one that I’ve warmed too?will definitely give Josephine a follow 👍👍great personality 👌
i'm a bit late on this vid but a great one anyways!! Being a huge fan of the house I think I'll get into Journey man too since thats the one I don't have in my collection out of the ones discussed. The refinement and quality of this house is unlike any other I feel. Good to see the reactions!
Closed mind.. Roses are old lady. There's are so many exceptional roses apart from POAL. Lyric is so well known due to. The Rose note. Not to mention all the greats in history all had rose in the mix. 5
Jubilation man isn’t bad. I would have liked she tried Jubilation man. It’s green, fresh and nice for spring or summer. I think reflection man is my fave. I will give interlude and lyric a try, and see how they compare.
lol, as soon as she said she rated Interlude Man a 7 Chris looked a little disheartened. His mojo went out of the window. Then when she liked reflection man - Chris came back to life :) Then when she gave Interlude an 8 Chris seemed a happy boy
Well, the opening is kind if weird in Interlude Man to be fair. It was not a love at first sniff for me either. It was however a love at first wear. Loved it as soon as the drydown, that incense with the weird sweetness started kicking in. Ordered a bottle.
Josephine!! I love her instagram. She has an incredible eye for natural beauty. Not a surprise since she is one herself! Even the pigeons are jealous. Those little sh*ts. Viva Amouage!
This is pretty subjective despite her being a professional perfumer. But knowing where she comes from(not a fan of oriental scents), it's not surprising she dissed Journey and Interlude. Mass appeal is mass appeal which includes the perfumers too.
Jubilation XXV is my absolute favourite perfume from Amouage. I'm female but I think it's perfectly unisex. It's also so well blended and so high quality that although I normally hate anything with rose I absolutely adore this one. It's a shame it wasn't in the kit, I would have loved to hear Josephine's thoughts on it. Although, considering what she said here, I have a feeling she wouldn't like it too much...
Great video! She is such a classy lady & I do like her opinions on this house! Your a cool dude Chris! When you going to have your own fragrance line??? ;)
Darn pigeons 😂. Always wondered.. why would they poop while in flight? Next time you do a video in the park pls come dressed in camo like a tree or a bush or something. Great video Chris. Josephine is quite classy and seems a great personality. So was Clemence. I am going to get a bottle of Reflection Man although there is some talk these days of poor longevity. I'd have loved to know your thoughts on Jubilation as well. Keep u with the good work. Cheers
I think the fragrance industry needs to reinvent the test strips. The scent is different on the skin than on paper. It seems like it smells nicer on paper in my experience. You really have to get a sample and wear the sample for a week to see how it mixes with your body chemistry
Love Fate man but ...it's just me, really I never ever met anyone who loves it, my wife hates it, despite she loves BAfgano or GGuilty absolute...It's ok I can handle it, as jubilation xxv I'll wear it when I'm alone 😄
Very nice lady with fine taste. I much appreciate her over other guests on some channels ! I love myths man and jubilation as well. Do you think reflection man or jubilation 25 sells better ?
Maybe should have rated the lighter fragrances first, just a thought!! And also have Background discussion on your guests character. Just so we understand and know more about her, And also her experience with fragrances, apart from that I loved the review, thank you.
I've got this discovery set and the other one from Library Collection / I sold it because didn't like the samples/. Good ones ! Epic, Interlude, Reflection 😍😍😍 even Figment is very interesting. For me, each perfume by Amouage is a piece of art. From the Library Collection I have Opus XI, my N 1.
