    The bottle reminds me of an oil slick on a puddle, or maybe gasoline.

    Marc Thank you kindly. Much appreciated. I'm going to get my hands on this scent. You really helped me decide. Love your honesty & the way that you explain everything to us! Us not anywhere near as knowledgeable in such a fine intriguing & complex art. 🎉Thanks mate. ❤

    Love the shirt, tie and sweater combo. 👔 So many people sad to see the Chong era come to a close, myself among them. But time waits for no man or woman and I suppose it was inevitable. I feel like this was an underrated scent from the brand. But you can be sure I'll be listening close when you finally get to compare Jubi with its extrait flanker. Sebastian mentioned it was far more camphorous and eucalyptus-y? We shall see.

    Cheers Marc, I do have this one and I ,on memory it was very pleasing,yeah like you say I was more focused on chasing down bottles for the collection and on reflection, ( yep another one bought,sniffed and forgotten) have kinda not seen the individual trees for the forest 😊,but of late I am rediscovering so many purchases and actually getting to appreciate each for their individual merit and my collecting obsession has finally abated thankfully and I appreciate how you have broached this fact here today in this excellent Test Drive video ✌️🙏👍

    I get the nod to Fahrenheit but not a clone at all. Totally get the caraway, leather, soapiness and the floral facets of it, this is why I like to smell the fragrance while watching your videos, once your more experienced nose points you to the right direction you'll get everything and you can compose a better picture of it, this is intellectual entertainment!!! 🤓 Love the fragrance, since the first time I sample it was instant love. I totally get what you say about a big collection that's why I'm trying to keep mine as small as possible even if it's impossible 😬 Great Test Drive really enjoyed it, thank you Marc!!!

    I've tried Portrayal Man and I own a couple early 90s bottles of Fahrenheit. Portrayal was okay, but Fahrenheit is a top 5 designer fragrance for me. Can't get enough of it.
    Not a huge fan of the newer Amouage releases, but I still treasure my bottles of Epic, Lyric and Jubi. Appreciate the test drive, Marc.

    Well said, to me its an oily violet leaf. Fahrenheit is light and ozonic but Portrayal man is oily and deep. I haven't tried beach hut man and sunshine man but at the moment, Portrayal man is my favourite Amouage 😊

    Beautiful bottle & juice Robes, just sampled this a few days ago, on spraying this reminded me of Kouros but in a soapy way, then branching out to give off Farenheit vibes, from mid to the end it somehow reminded me of Grey Flannel without retro feel, this perfume is complex for sure, great review 👍🏻

    Totally agree with what you said about the bottle.
    Also after staring at this bottle way too long, I realized many things. Here's 3:
    The 3 notes are a portrayal of the primary colors, and vice versa.
    The mixed rainbow colors we see shifting are a portrayal of the accords we smell developing, and vice versa.
    The bottle is a portrayal of the fragrance, and vice versa.

    Outstanding fragrance. Super smooth violet leaf. I love the Chong era, but I also feel Renaud Salmon is doing a great job, too. He had some pretty big shoes to fill. For me he has only had 3 flops in Guidance, Lineage & Purpose. King Blue wasn't for me either, but I appreciate the artistry. Meander was a great scent but poor performance. Love all the rest.

    • @robes08

    Great insight! Haven't tested it and sometimes I wanted to pull the trigger, but I'm a bit afraid it will be similar not to Fahrenheit, but to Narciso Rodriguez For Him (EDT). I have 2 bottles of Narciso as it's discontinued and I'm a huge fan of it... My only Amouage atm is Beach Hut Man that I love. Cheers!

    Love Amouage, love Christopher Chong’s work and direction. Not convinced at all by the new guy yet tbh. Most from the new era I’ve felt were underwhelming , and I’m discounting the flankers of the likes of Interlude because the DNA of those fragrances are from the Chong days. The new original stuff hasn’t been my cuppa, but I did like Meander a lot

    • @robes08
