Gucci Intense Oud is no longer sold here. The Gucci rep said it's discontinued perhaps in the USA or maybe the world I'm not sure but can't buy any bottles of it here anymore! :(
Love how guys bounce off each other. You guys have so much respect for each other knowing you both have so so much experience in the cologne industry . Love your intricate explanations on the smells. Love you guys. Please keep making these fantastic shows you guys rock🤗..
Love it when Dalya is on the channel! How did you two meet? She's awesome. Her descriptions really ring true to me, like I share the opinion or totally get what she's saying even when it's snarky. I think she's more sassy when she wears purple. ;)
@@friendofdavid1423 Interesting point. I would certainly filter her opinions knowing this but I disagree that you don't find value in her opinions on Oud. I think she has a lot of knowledge/experience in the note/fragarance in general and gives thoughtful answers. Which is exactly why I like Dalya and enjoy her opinions. It's always refreshing to have a new view point and from someone who is well spoken and thoughtful/honest. I can't stand the reviews that are basically click bait ads/fast & quippy with lots of edits/visuals to sell themselves/products.
Probably my first comment on RU-vid. Just wanted to say that I like what you guys are doing. Nice lengthy videos, variety of fragrances, playful humor. I am getting into fragrances little by little. Looking forward to buying some of these soon. Thank you, please keep up the great work!
Perfect for matching my sotd 🔥 always great to see dalya back, I can watch you both all day. The best dynamic in fragcom 🙏 Rocking Mancera precious oud today 👌
Ciao Sebastian😃 Trussardi Amber Oud in my opinion is one of the best deal currently on the market! Here in Italy it costs around 35 euro for 100ml bottle and the packaging is awesome! Do you like it?
THIS designer Oud list is delish! I have many of these I have NOT tried on the way currently suggested and echoed by Max Forti Winter list. I tend to go where my fave reviewers overlap and coalesce. Your groovy AFFORDABLE (all under $100 USD) list ranked worst to best by Oud presence, blending and craft! *sighs deeply and reverently* I just love you guys!!
Love cinnamon notes in fragrances as well!👍🏻 Also, in my opinion, Ralph Lauren creates great classic scents for men across the board and they never really seem to go out of style.
Interestingly enough, our pronunciation of "cinnamon" in Arabic is "darseen", which was very close to the Armenian pronunciation you mentioned. We also pronounce it as "gerfah". Great list guys, well done!
OMG I love Dalia! And I love you both as a couple too. BTW Cinnamon is "Qirfa" in Arabic you can ask Google for the pronounciation قرفة Thanks for the vid
Wonder if you would ever consider reviewing the house "merchant of Venice". They have some good niche offerings. Would love to hear your opinion on the rest of them, if you do have them. Thanks
Honestly I like oud wood tom ford. Luxury, reasonable price, There's is a few for around $300 and up. like Mysterious Oud Extrait de Parfum by Bortnikoff And Warda Al Oud Attar / perfume oil by Xerjoff - XJ Oud Attars The best of the best oud.
Dhalia and Sebastian, Elie Saab Essence N.4 Oud is a fragrance to die for, composed by none other than Francis Kurdjian. It was on major sale recently (less than $60) so I stocked up on it. Now, you can not find it anywhere. Would definitely get on your list if you guys sniffed it. A true Laotian Oud scent complemented with a gentle bouquet of florals (minimal to no Rose), animalic but soooooo sensual. LOVE all the way, Please consider reviewing if you get your hands on it.
You guys are so funny!!!! Love Dalya’s picks as always, I have a decant of the Versace Oud Noir but I won’t be buying a full 100ml bottle, I don’t like the smell of it. It’s very basic and doesn’t smell like Oud at all to me, I love Tom Ford Oud Wood and I will be buying that one 🤗😉
Now thus was a great video! Love seeing you two together. I've been wearing Frank Olivier Vanilla Oud...really like it and the wife does as well 😳 wonder why you don't see more vanilla with oud.
The Varvatos bottle bothers me too. I hate it. If the gold plastic would have been metal it would have been gorgeous, but the plastic.....SO CHEAP and such a good fragrance.
I've been watching your videos for very long time, but i didn't know that you are Armenian, I'm really proud you are :) Thanks for the amazing reviews keep the good work going.
I was looking for the Smoked Oud online after seeing your other Smoked oud and Oud video....but ended up buying the "regular" Oud. It smells unique/bold. Smells great. So would you say that you like or prefer the Oud over the Smokes oud version? I got that from this video but on the other Oud comparison video it sounded like you preffered the smoked, rose version. Thanks. Great/Amesome unique in-depth video reviews.
Was wondering if you'd include Banana Republic in the list...the opening is a high quality synthetic oud, BUT, that disappears in literally under a minute. If that top could be extended and linear, itd be a great cheap oud.
One of my favorite designer ouds is one no one talks about but its soo good Armani eau de nuit oud 🤷♂️ and not that it really matters but what I do find interesting is for the first western oud everyone forgets Sequoia released in 2001 and 2002 the original M7 was released 🤷♂️ it gets all the accolades. Great video 👍 happy new year to you both.
You know I've been meaning to get that Armani fragrance for a few years now and never seem to pull the trigger? For some odd reason I have an aversion to Armani? Not sure where that comes from? LOL! ;) HNY2020!!!
@@ThePerfumeGuy I am the same way, when I first started Armani was available so I got into them but I quickly got sick of almost everything with the exception of that line 🤷♂️ the one no one says anything about but the oud stuck out to me.
The problem I find with oud fragrances is that a rose note seems to be way too prominent in many of them. The rose and oud combination is a powerhouse and many perfumers fall in love with it to enhance performance. The Vince Camuto sounds interesting, though. Have you ever smelled David Yurman Limited Edition? He's a jewelry designer but it could also be considered niche. How about cheapies like Franck Olivier Oud Touch or Zara's Exclusive Oud which was supposed to be the best fragrance they've ever released.
Hi Dalya & Sebastian, Happy New Year! "Dirty Alcoholic Syrup": Etat Libre d'Orange gives original names to their perfumes, so this one could be perfect. I don't have a lot of oud perfumes, some niche decants only, but: - "Rose Oud" from Yves Rocher: I don't wear it, because of the rose aspect I think. - I prefer "Oud Magnétique" from Molinard: more on the woody side (not expensive on an UK discount site, under 50 euros / 75 ml) Love the part with the rats... 🐀 Sebastian tried to scare you.
Canela you said it perfectly! Buen espaňol! Lol her she goes what's that?? I almost spit my drink! I have the BR 17 OUD MOSAIC fantastic AND ALSO THE VERSACE YES VERY SEXY to me I did find it very well done easy to ware I enjoyed very much so I actually onw like half of the list including the D&G And varvatos really good quality whit a lot of incense and leather dusty rose Like the video!
You need to get a hold of aoud 1 from bruckners. Imagine a bowl of peaches and plums covered by a silk scarf of chocolatey ouds. It took me years to get this scent fron europe but FUCK im wearing this to my wedding in october.
love the boss bottled oud. Also just purchased the gucci intense oud which is available at fragranebuy.ca. i have the bannana republic mosaic 17 but it smells so fecal on my skin.
