I have a couple of oud fragrances- I’m waiting for the colder weather to try them out on my skin- this is my first year collecting- so it’ll be my first winter wearing oud.
I got it yesterday morning. I gotta say. Neebs is absolutely SPOT ON. I agree, #1 designer this year. The iris stays around first 2 or 3 hours. Leather, nutmeg, oud, iris, patchouli. I adore this. Side note. 2022 valentino uomo intense isnt as good as OG VOI
Paco Rabanne should.. Make a perfume-cologne out of the flowers of chocolate-cosmos and top it off with azalea, lavender-hibiscus notes; and emboss an amethyst in the the front of the bottle. Would be incredible if they could one day incorporate every-color-gem into ONE fruity flanker, creating this rainbow effect
I read a lot of stuff on the net that says this is a extremely limited release, so I grabbed one off eBay just like you, probably bought from the same guy. Anyway I’m holding onto it, not opening it, if it never hits discounters here in the west it will be worth a lot in a couple years.
Hey Neeb I recognize you have a good olfactory sense. Can you point me to fragrance(s) that smell like a clean server room with a heat exchanger and a/c on full blast, or like when you open a box full of styrofoam peanuts?
I was blown away by "1 Million Royal" and I'm collecting that one this season, but "1 Million Golden Oud" might have too much of the leather and oud for me... I'll still order a sample tho. I'm a Gourmand guy, Oud sometimes makes me gag. Like with "Magic Oud in Kalimath"...that one smells like a gourmand fragrance dripping in leather because of the Oud in it. I just can't... I'll probably give that one away to someone that favors Oud because it just doesn't vibe for me.
I got this one on Jomashop last week for under $130 USD but it sold out within a few days. I got it mainly just to have in my collection but it did smell completely different from the rest of the line with my favorite being Lucky. Will have to wear for a day and give it more of a review soon!
@@sirp194it has more of a leathery middle eastern vibe with Acqua di Parma Oud smell mixed in. I like it actually. It’s not as easy to pull off as the other 1 millions. It has 15 to 20 percent max of 1 million DNA to me the rest is its own thing.
I got to say, those first few sprays when I first got the bottle grabbed my attention with how prominent the oud was. Unfortunately it didn't retain that edge in subsequent uses. I still think it's the best 1 Million, but once that edge from the oud went away, I went ahead and flipped it.
If this is the best frag of the year, I’m curious to know if this is the best designer oud fragrance out here. Maybe you should do an oud shootout. I’ve been trying to find a oud frag and so far I like Gucci Intense Oud
Both are just inspirations I haven’t really smelled anything that’s like 100%, but the stronger of the two is enigma daux. It’s essentially cocktail intense, but in higher concentration.
@@aromatixrrt One more question Please between Enigma Une or Enigma Deux which is more versatile and an all round better fragrance in your opinion? Also taking longevity into context
i have HUGO BOSS Bottled Oud Safron, i don't like it. i have AFNAN Supremacy in Oud, i love it. i have BANAFA in OUD Khanjar(not sure if there is oud in it), almost a love. in a nutshell, i like certain type of oud, i guess.
You know what, aren't we over this Oud fad already? It was a really big thing in the fragrance world around 2019/20/21, but I feel the fad and craze has passed and we are onto different kinds of fragrances. Dunno, when a line comes out with an Oud version of something, I dnt even pay any notice anymore as it not a new thing.
@@aromatixrrt Fads are when things gain popularity all of a sudden and then die down, yes Oud has been around forever, but I've been a fragrance lover and collector for over 20 years, since around 2001 and Oud fragrances were never a thing (in western culture), they became a Fad around 2019, and I have some, like original Oud For Greatness, Oud Satin Mood, Black Afgano, but I noticed so many fragrances houses jumping on the Oud train even when they didnt have Oud in them. Im not hating, im just saying I think Oud fragrances are a fad, especially in western culture. Peace ✌
@@martysmith2851your talking from America it seems 😅😅😅 pud has been popular for 100s of years from Italy to the entire east of it... literally like 70% of the world has been in love with oud for 100s of years 😅😅😅
@@tomguglielmo9805 im talking form Europe, where Oud become a massive trend here a few years ago, so maybe it was newer to Europe, but there are always trends and I feel Oud was a trend in Europe then
