🔴7 UNIQUE AMBER FRAGRANCES🔴 Watch Now: czcams.com/video/77Wl3Hp3_xo/video.html
Marcelo, the content you put out is truly unequalled. Your channel has rapidly become my favorite in the community. The quality, form, and context absolutely can not be beat. There's always at least one thing in your videos that I haven't heard anyone else talk about and I always learn something new without feeling like I'm being "taught". You are one of a kind, my friend.
My most recent "oud-quisition" was Pure OUDdiction from The Gate Fragrances. VERY green, herbal, bitter sweet oud scent. Reminds me bit of Black Afgano but everything is just turned up a notch, and more green and bitter than it is dark spicy. I definitely think it is one you would appreciate.
Thank you so much and keep up the impeccable work, brother.
Take care!
A massive THANK YOU🙏🏽 what an awesome comment to read and so happy that this content is resonating with you....really appreciative of the support from you
@ladgallant and everyone else on the channel💫👊🏽
I need to explore the The Gate fragrance's. I've heard so many great things but haven't ventured down this path with them yet, need to correct this! Plus I love the sound of Pure OUDdiction....I love these unique take on the classic oud note. I'll test and report in!
Thanks again @ladgallant for jumping into the conversation💫
I really really really LOVE this kind of episodes, of presenting 6-7-8 perfumes!!!!
Thank you 👊🏽 so happy that you enjoyed this episode; great to hear from you @FiG044
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector No...thank you so much for all your work!
@FiG044 🙏🏽💫♥️
Dare I say this has been the best Oud review I’ve watched. The breakdown and history from which this beautiful note comes from, the knowledge shared here is top notch. Thank you!
Thank you Ruth 🙏🏽 What a wonderful comment to read and so happy that you enjoyed this episode; appreciate the support 💫
I was hypnotized listening. This is THE teacher.
Hands down, I'm speechless this is very good quality content,the details and the information you give to us is priceless,you are a true inspiration for us.God bless you and your family.Happy Easter.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏🏽 so happy you enjoyed this episode @allyally5359 very much appreciate the positive energy⚡️
God bless you too @allyally5359, thanks for jumping into the conversation
An oud list? This is the money list, Marcelo! Top notch!
Boom Baby!!💪🏽 Thanks Bobby! Glad that you enjoyed this line up 💫
I’m grateful for your content. You have so much passion for what you do. You described Mamluk so beautifully. Really want to give it a try
Always good to hear from you Johan; thank you for your words of encouragement💫
I have big love for Mamluk; exceptional fragrance of itself, but as an oud honey combo it's really amazing.
Thanks for jumping into the conversation Johan👊🏽
I'll echo what's been said, here. You're always so pedagogical and fascinating to listen to! What you said about Sacro e Profano reminds me a lot of the sadly misunderstood Amouage's King Blue, in that the pyramid is flipped upside down: people hate it because of that harsh oud opening but then it turns very fruity and citrusy afterwards. Both are fantastic fragrances, for sure.
I need to test out King Blue. Funny because I did hear a lot of negative comments because of that harsh opening that I stayed away. I will give this one a go and report in!
Great to hear from you @sorv5790👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector The mistake people do with King Blue is bring it right up to their nose. The moment it "clicked" with me is when I sprayed on strip and left the room and came back 15 minutes later and the aroma was incredible in the air. That's when I "got it". :)
@sorv5790 I love it!♥️😎
Having grown up on a farm, I’m not sure if your description of “barnyard” and “fecal” matches mine because those smells are not how I want to smell or smell on others. However, I love the smells of the woods, the grasses, florals, and gardens that accompany the farm so I am intrigued by oud but have yet to explore this particular note.
Yep, you heard right 😳
To fully appreciate the full power of a banyard oud; check out Hayat by Xerjoff or even better Ghala by Jazeel🤯
And yes, it does seem counter intuitive to use a perfume that has that kind of olfactory signature but it's wild, in time you really get to appreciate the power and beauty because it's more than just a 'real farm' but has these incredible layers and complexity. Plus what's in the air is something different to what you're smelling directly off your skin.
I would recommend to you Oud Satin Mood and Bois D'Oud from this line up. Both have enough 'oud' so you get to appreciate this note but are now balanced with other components that make will make it into an experience that you'll enjoy.
Thanks for jumping into the conversation Mande, awesome to connect 💫
Great history and explanation mate. Thank you for sharing Marcelo ❤️👏👊
Thanks Big Mike🙏🏽👊🏽
Thank you Marcelo.Your recommendations are noted and search begins for some samples👍
Nice work Mustafa!!💫 If you're not to familiar with the oud note, then I would recommend testing as per the line up in the episode....this will help migrate you through.
Once you do get the chance to test; I'll be curious to know how you went and what stood out to you.
Always good to hear from you mate👊🏽
Funny to see this now as Royal Oud was my first reach this morning! Some of these are new to me but that's why I'm here. Ephemeral Dyadic has my attention. Thanks Marcelo.
Great choice on Royal Oud...a classic😎
If you do get the chance to test out Lost Chemistry, I'd be curious to know your thoughts on this...as a thought, I'd recommend to you Bois D'Oud, I have a feeling you'd enjoy this one
Great to hear from you Fred👊🏽
Great video as always Marcelo! Really amazing hearing you talk about the history of Oud. I'm familiar with its history in India and hindu writings, but terrific learning about how it's prevalent in all ancient cultures.
I love all types of Oud, but I defintely agree with you, getting used to the more fecal types of oud took some time. I still cannot really tolerate much banyard ouds (like Kemi Hayat), but I love all other types of oud now.
If you get the chance I really recommend the try the following ouds, I think you'd love them!
(1) Qurashi Blend from Abdul Al-Qurashi
(2) Fortuna from Electimuss
(3) Desert Falcon Luxury Edition from Arabian Oud
Thanks James👊🏽 Glad you enjoyed this episode. I always love doing the research and trying to find a different angle and discovered how prevalent 'oud' is across various religions (clearly signifying it's sacred magnificence) that it was fun exploring this theme.
I too haven't totally graduated into the 'full on' oud (like Hayat) but I guess all in time.
Thanks for these recommendations! These are all ones that I will need to explore when I'm overseas (unfortunately for us Aussie's we have very limited brands); but all good as it gives me an exciting 'hunting list' to go and explore💫
Thanks for jumping into the conversation
@JamesBond-qt7th always good to hear from you
I have been waiting for this one for a while now 🙂 Glorious recommendations, I don't have a single one of them but I can't wait to get my hands on a few really. Ephemeral Dyadic sounds like a dream but I am probably a 3-star general at the moment so maybe I will sleep on it some more ;-) Marcello, heartfelt thank you for recommending these gems!
Thank you Kartik for your comments...it's always brilliant to engage and hear what resonates with everyone from these line up productions.
The Ephemeral Dyadic has received a lot of interest so it's clear that I need to spend more time in sharing more about these guys; they have an awesome collection of fragrance's...super unique
Thanks again for reaching out my friend 💫
a real Professional video about aoud note thanx a bunch
Thank you for reaching out! So happy that you enjoyed this episode… And yes aoud is glorious♥️💫
Absolutely great fragrance discussion. I truly appreciate your ‘take’ on Oud. I immediately discovered, and loved, Oud fragrances at the very beginning of my niche fragrance journey 3-4 years ago. It always mystified me when Fragrance Reviewers would qualify their reviews by attesting that their reviewed fragrance is approachable and absent any of the traditional Oud traits: barnyard, fecal , medicinal, etcetera. My God, those are the traits that deepen one’s appreciation for Oud! 🤷🏽 Oud is an absolutely majestic fragrance note & I love it! Thanks for this one. PS- Love the House of Xerjoff and really do need to smell Mamluk ❤
Listening to you talk about this note Oud, has been really comforting. Something about fragrance and how it makes us feel is something strange yet at the same time completely and utterly natural. I have been around oud from childhood, simply because my parents used Attar a lot, and oud is central note in many Attars. Love it!
Thank you once again, Marcelo. Take care.
Btw, I ordered More Than Words earlier today. Looking forward to it, as I had got a sample of it and immediately fell in love with it :)
Thank you Ayesha, what an awesome comment to read. I love that you've been around oud all your life (I feel that I'm playing catch up....but enjoying the journey)
Congrats on More the Words; I already know you're going to love it. Such a compliment getter. Such a beautiful statement maker♥️
Oud is amazing,Wonderful content! Perfection
Fantastic as always 🙏🏽 your videos are gorgeous. God bless you
I have just discovered you and I must say I immediately subscribed. Why? Because you not only review scents but also tell a story. I loved it, especially because you talk about different types of perfumes, unlike everybody else. I hope you could do similar things in the future regarding other ingredients, but please, just as passionately. Thank you.

Very much appreciate your support @christosnicolaides7707 👊🏽
Amazing descriptions as always, I bought a sample of Lost Chemistry along with a Majnoon sample a day after watching your video.
A pleasure to watch your lectures!
My 5 start general js Siver oud from Amouage. Impressive oud with a incredible sillage and unexpected complement getter.
Definitely the best if the nee Amouage era.
Silver Oud is incredible. It's not currently in my collection, but I'm coveting this one so badly! Congrats to you Raul.
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your recommendations💫
👏🏽👏🏽 Very appreciative of the research you share with us. And your descriptions of the perfume transformations/evolutions are gripping for this funk bomb note. Bravo.
I meant to address your comment in the last Maté Talk that you love your Oud 'buried'😂
I would be curious to know your thoughts on Oud Satin Mood....if you ever get the chance to test, I would love to know how this might work for you (I have a feeling that you're going to love it)
Glad you enjoyed this episode; was fun bringing it to life. Always great to hear from you Vivian💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector 😖 I have tried OSM many times. It smells great for the first 30 seconds and then I feel like hurling and have to scrub my skin relentlessly and vigorously for minutes to save my stomach. 🤢 I haven’t smelled it on other people, though.
@@vivianagbegha2712 Wow! That's wild😮 I really thought that this one would be "The One"💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Like I said, I like my oud dead and buried! 😄
I absolutely love Oud Maracuja.
So expensive and so hard to get here. Will definitely get one if I have the chance.
Nice video!
Some great choices Marcelo. Need to get my nose on a few of them. I think you’ve hit Oud from all sides which says there’s always an Oud fragrance that appeals to someone. Fell in love with Oud Satin Mood from the moment I smelled it. While it technically isn’t Niche, I have to give a nod to Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade.
Top notch quality bideo ❤️🔥❤️🔥
You are always getting better my man 🤔
Thank you Faouzi👊🏽🙏🏽 appreciate the vote of confidence💫 glad you enjoyed this episode
Interesting intro, I'd read Aloes in the Bible and never thought to look up what it was! As I'm sure we've discussed, I do love Oud. When I first got into it I went through a phase of spraying Oud fragrances on my pillows. I'll have to have a look at some of those, especially that one with Fig in, as that's not something I've seen in an Oud fragrance before.
Yes, I do remember you mentioning that Oud is your thing Lee....but I didn't know about the oud on the pillow!😳 That's power right there💥♥️ (actually we can call this doing a 'King Solomon'😉)
And yes, big recommendation on Lost Chemistry; unique and addictive scent.
Always good to hear from you Lee👊🏽
❤❤ listening to you is always so inspiring
Thank you Stefano💫 appreciate the support my friend.
Looking forward to returning to Milano next year for Esxence; we should catch up again in the Fueguia boutique (this was a brilliant experience last time; would be good to do again)😎
‘Celo with another masterpiece. i LOVE these!
Thank you🙏🏽 💫 so happy you enjoyed this episode....BTW @JokerG16 I don't believe I know your name? If you're ok to share would love to know
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector i go by Jay!
@JokerG16 bravo! Great to connect Jay💫
Hey Marcelo, this is good one!! I was expecting Varanasi by Meo being on this list.
Hey Kimmo, yes Varanasi deserves to be in the line up! I actually culled so many from the line up as I wanted to bring a balance and a flow through when it comes to the nuance's that each fragrance brought.
However, I already know that I need to create a follow up episode to this....the next line up will be more punchy oud's💥♥️
Good to hear from you mate 👊🏽
Hi Marcelo,
Journalism at its finest. Great video, might be best so far, maybe not objectivly by me since i am an oud fan. I might sample mamluk and get myself a bottle.
Just wanna add one recommendation here, for all of us, who find MFK oud satin mood edp too sweet, i would like to recommend extrait version. Composition is very similar but vanilla and amber touches are toned down.
Your secret weapon xerjoff more than words is amazing.
Great to hear from you Filip and I love your recommendation on Oud Satin Mood Extrait (I haven't tested this, so thank you for jumping in with your experience on this👊🏽)
And yes, I'll be curious to know your thoughts on Mamluk once you get the chance to test...I'm crazy in love with this one and in the lead up to creating this episode I was spraying often (glorious fragrance ♥️)
Always good to hear from you homie👊🏽
Marcelo, i think you should try Bortnikoff. I have Oud Monarch and Oud Maximus and they are beautiful oud fragrances. They also have a very interesting take on florals.
Thank you Marcelo; another knock out video.I truly embrace every post from the funny, quirky to the master class professor teachings; each embracing your passion and transporting me to specific places evoking so many memories.
I must add as I was fuming with one individual’s comment..grrr
Please follow your path as you do it well, there are sufficient frag video’s that deliver “thesaurus filled adjectives” for a fragrance .
Your passion and thirst for knowledge resonates through our screen and I applaud your work ethic and am grateful that you share all of this with us❤️🧡
I heard a fantastic line and unfortunately I have forgotten who shared it… but , “my new fashion trend this year is;to stop wearing other people’s opinions of me”
The proof is in the pudding ,Thank you Marcelo🙏🏻
🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺❤️🧡
If we're ever in a bar fight (please let me add, we never will be....but) if we were, I know you got my back💫💪🏽⚡️
So happy that you enjoyed this episode Stani and yes, I do enjoy sharing the things that I'm learning; it's a buzz for me as this in turn resonates with others that have the same passion as I do for all things perfumery....it's become an incredible way to connect with so many people across the world♥️
BTW are we connected on Instagram? Would be awesome to connect via DM (@nfc.perfumes is my handle)
Thank you again Stani for all your support and positive energy (felt and appreciated⚡️💪🏽)
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector My hubby says the same thing 😂, he was asked what would he do if someone hassled me in a bar….. Dean said”I’d step back and wish them good luck” 😂
We can fill the void with empty words but passion is from the heart, can’t buy that🙏🏻❤️🧡
@deannstanglenny9431 I love it Stani! and yes, because I do filming/productions for a living, I’m always seeking authenticity from my clients.
I can tell when they are using “words” rather than “emotions” to communicate a message…. ‘words’ are easy ‘emotion, love, passion’ is hard, but this is where the real impact occurs♥️
Thank you again for your strength, positive energy and support 💫👊🏽⚡️
I definitely need to try Stercus
Nice one. Top notch video.
I only love mucho western ouds - Oud Wood, Carved Oud, Accord Oud... and subtle ouds concealed in other lesser known composition (such as Marly Shagya, Villoresi Theseus and many more).
Oud usually goes hand in hand with rose, which I hate (can't stand prominent rose).
Tried MFC, didn't love it. It's a nice scent, but not enough to satisfy my taste.
It is SO personal. I do appreciate your list.
Thanks for the video.
Great intro. I have been on an Oud binge lately. I love the depth of oud note but not the animalic side. Some such fragrances I love :
1. Nishane Nefs
2. Oman Luxury Oud Aqualaria
3. Aaron Terrence Hughes Oud/Onyx line
4. Ahom world Amber oud
5. Bortnikoff Oud Sinharaja
6. Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja
7. Fredrick Malle The moon
8. Xerjoff Astaral
Have you tried any of these and liked?
Thank you Ishti; glad you enjoyed this.
I love your list. I don't own any of these (yet) but have tested most of them. I really LOVE The Moon and Astaral. These are 2 that I really want in the collection.
Plus I would really love to explore all of the Bortnikoff ones as I believe some of his fragrance in fact has wild oud....which is now a whole different experience!
Thanks for reaching out @ishti83, I appreciate you jumping into the conversation
Always a pleasure
@@ishti83 👊🏽💫
Ephemeral Dyadic truly is an underrated house. Missing feeling is my signature scent and I absolutely love the way it smells on my skin, the musky, powdery-ish champagne scent that comes off of my skin is absolutely amazing, I bought a full bottle when you initially made your video on Ephemeral Dyadic video and I remember you talking about Lost Chemistry as well, maybe I'll pick this one up aswell.
So happy to hear that you've jumped in with Ephemeral Dyadic....how incredible is Missing Feelings!!💫😍 You described it perfectly @chymous
If you want to hang tight for a few of weeks, I'm actually doing something big with these guys in the way of a Discovery Series (it will include a discount code etc). Intention is to release this in about 6 weeks time and now I will explore the entire collection (they have 8 fragrances currently)
Thanks for jumping into the conversation, awesome to connect👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector That is fantastic news and I am super excited to see what you have for us.
Great review as always. Will you recommend Mamluk over Ceylon though? Thought Ceylon was supposed to be a better oud one.
If we're comparing Oud for Oud fragrance then, yes Ceylon. This is incredible. The black tea supports and enhance's the glorious oud note.
But I LOVE Mamluk because of the realistic beehive feeling that I get from it. Plus in the air (sillage/projection) Mamluk is divine, gourmand honey vanilla....magic
Good luck, hope that helps! Great to hear from you @tpacalypse
@@TheNicheFragranceCollectorUnderstood. Thank you so much. Actually own Ceylon. I watched the chat you had about it, Aoud Musk and the Royal Oud with CZcamsr in Canada.
Thanks Marcelo. My favorite one right now is Oud Alfateh by Superz.
Thanks for the recommendation of Oud Alfateh by Superz....not one that we have in Australia. I jumped on their website; I love the look of the brand💫♥️ they have a massive collection!
Great to hear from you Joel👊🏽
Stercus i love it, it doesnt smell what the name means to me... i liked the sound of lost chemistry, ephemeral dyadic thats new to me, very interesting, thanks marcelo
Alessandro is the ultimate marketer and he knows to call it Stercus that he's going to get attention. It's the least 'poopy' oud that I've ever experienced. In fact it's one of the most divine sweet oud's out there.
And yes the entire collection of Ephemeral Dyadic is impressive. Planning to do a Discovery Series with these guys. Will share more in the coming weeks
Great to hear from you Adz, hoping you're well mate👊🏽
Great video ,
Love stercus very clever fragrance and underrated from the house
My mum and one of my brothers hates it 😂
Great to hear from you Sean and yes, Stercus gets regularly overlooked; but this is an awesome fragrance💫 In fact this is one of the first oud fragrance that Sandra loved the sillage and projection when I would wear (up until this point, she would wrinkle her nose at the slightest smell of oud in the air)
Interesting that your mum and brother are not fans! Is there a different oud fragrance that they prefer?
Great to hear from you mate👊🏽 thanks for jumping into the conversation💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector there not fragrance people so all good .
Got it🧐 say no more
Hello Marcelo , thank you for the quality of your content! I was wondering if you had a review of the perfume "Haltane", by Parfums de Marly? Which also revolves around the oud, if I'm not mistaken…
I've actually recently included Haltane in my collection, and yes, the oud in this fragrance is beautiful; it's very confident and masculine.
I'll make sure to create something on this in the coming weeks.
Thanks for reaching out @Merou006, great to connect💫
Nice list. I don't know if Haltane qualifies, but that's my personal fave.
Yes, Haltane is awesome. This is a recent find for me and one that I've been enjoying. I appreciate the recommendation
@jos3roth475💫
The only MFK fragrance I've tried so far is a sample of Grand Soir, but I really like it. I've barely used it, since I only have the tiny sample. I might get a full bottle at some point, but I already have others that I want more, like a full size Kilian Angels' Share.
Saludos Amigo.
I love oud fragrances, but I'm not crazy about the usual Rose and Oud combos.
I adventured into the Oud-only predominant fragrances, such as Kemi ilm, Xerjoff Gao, or animals like Dehn Al Oudh Saad; and Oud Attars.
Nevertheless, I've been looking to own a Rose Oud frag that leans masculine.
Is MFK Oud Satin Mood, the one that you are talking about, the one shown in your video, which is the EDP, or EDP Extrait?
By the way, I see you are getting close to those 80K subscribers.
Hola Gabriel, saludos amigo💫 I'm slowly moving towards the more beastly animalics when it comes to oud and one thing that I recently purchased is a sample set of the Amouage Attars. The Oud in here is powerful!💥 But I've been blending it with the Rose or Vanilla attar and oh mamma 🥰 these combo's have been insanely good.
I need to explore more with the attars; I think this is the next evolution on my niche journey.
Regarding Rose/Oud; have you tried More Than Words? This is a much more wearable oud, but still very present. I would recommend it if you haven't already tried.
In regards to Oud Satin Mood; this is the EDP. I haven't compared the EDP to the Extrait, so not sure how they differ
And yes! Very close to the 80K🤩 Really hunting the 100K😬...I have some further line up episodes coming up as I know that these always track well; trying to get this before mid year!!⚡️
As always, thank you for your support Gabriel👊🏽🙏🏽
Marcelo, absolutely loving your content as a new subscriber ❤
What are your thoughts on the house Merchant of Venice? I'm really enjoying La Fenice and Vinegia 21 - any others in your experience that you would recommend trying? Thanks!
A massive THANK YOU for your message @mssiggypiggy 🙏🏽 so happy that you're enjoying these episodes💫
Merchant of Venice is a brand that we don't have here in Australia and whilst I'm aware of them and had the chance to test out a few when I was last in Italy, I don't own any.
However my wife Sandra, can not stop talking about Blue Tea....she's regretting daily not having purchased this one when we were in store (so guess what's on the list when we return to Europe...?)
Sorry that I couldn't be of more help with this @mssiggypiggy, thank you again for your support👊🏽
@TheNicheFragranceCollector Hi! Thankyou for replying! Just to give you a heads-up, a lot of Merchant of Venice fragrances are being sold through Chemist Warehouse (I know - it's really surprising!). I'm in Melbourne too and have found them at the Chemist Warehouse stores that are distributing Ultra Beauty products. Check them out when you get the chance 😀
Btw - the store here on the Peninsula actually has Blue Tea in store right now - nice surprise for your wife!

@Marco-ol6ms
I might be late to the game but have you considered exploring the world of attar?
Thameen's Regal Oud blew my mind. It feels like a warm cozy blanket with a bit of spice, rose and oud. I would LOVE to see someone review this one day but it seems to be flying under the radar.
Yes! 100% want to explore attar's more. Have started testing/sampling the Amouage Attars and loving the experience....I'm discovering it's a very different way to experience perfume
I need to check out Thameen's Regal Oud; actually need to explore the entire Thameen's range!

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you friend. Looking forward to the future exploration of attars. Knowing your love of rose and oud, I think it'll blow your mind!
My favorite oud so far are OSM Extrait and Roja Amber Aoud ❤
I LOVE Amber Aoud🥰😍 and it's clear that I need to test out OSM Extrait, a few subscribers have recommended this♥️
Awesome recommendations Christina💫 thanks for sharing
Another wonderful video, Marcelo! Regarding Perris Monte Carlo, why did you choose Bois d’Oud rather than Oud Imperial? Not that there’s a right or wrong answer. They’re both excellent.
Great to hear from you Thomas; the answer is simple....I don't currently own Oud Imperial😬 Clearly this is one that I need to include in the collection! I'm guessing this is your personal favourite?
Thanks for jumping into the conversation💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I hesitate to say Oud Imperial is my favorite although the Oud in it is more pronounced, compared to better balance perhaps in Bois D’Oud. But yes, I’m constantly intrigued by that more pronounced Oud note in Oud Imperial.
@@user-lm8sr8zn3p I remember when I was buying Bois D'oud that I preferred this because (at the time) I didn't want the oud to be so pronounced....so in fact the opposite of what you were after. However now, I need to re-explore Oud Imperial; I have a feeling that I'd enjoy it more♥
Hi Marcelo, awesome history on OUD and great list of OUD perfumes. Never knew Stercus had OUD, I never looked up till now. I wonder how Carved Oud from Thameen and Black Oud by Laurent Mazzone would fare against this list. I love More than words and Carved Oud.
I really need to explore more the House of Thameen....I've smelt a few and loved each one of them. I can imagine that Carved Oud would be exceptional💫
Black Oud by Laurent Mazzone isn't one that we have here in Australia; will need to explore next time I'm overseas.
Great to hear from you Aditya; thanks for jumping into the conversation and sharing those recommendations 👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Always nice to connect with you Marcelo. In the top seven however, I have none. I am trying to build some strength and character to buy Stercus 😀.
Stercus actually sounds scarier than what it is… this is a really divine Oud fragrance as long as you have had a chance to experience other Ouds first.
If yes, then this will be an easy love. Good luck Aditya💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector In that case I will go ahead purchase it. I would not call myself an Oud five star general. But yes, I did have great experiences with all the other Ouds I bought like Robert Piguet OUD, Thameen Carved Oud, LM Black Oud, TM Tobacco Oud and Amoroud Sunset Oud. They smell amazing. Thanks Marcelo for reassuring!
Also imagining which movie character would wear this. I can think of The Hulk. He is beastly and does not care about others when he does Hulk things, extremely confident, but underneath as Bruce Banner, he is sophisticated (Multiple Phd.s) and a tender heart. Just like Stercus, beastly and animalic but sophisticated and has a tender heart (Rose note) and classy with Musk😀
I love the fuegia house, so many fragrances but everything is so different
Absolutely🤩 It's great that you're a 'true believer' too!!💫 Such an underrated House! and yet so many incredible fragrance's♥️
Thanks for jumping into the conversation @JT-dk3mw👊🏽
Isn't Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade supposed to be a really good oud fragrance? I just bought a bottle of that on Monday. It's really fun to go to the Louis Vuitton store and try their fragrances. I've only actually bought two so far, and the other one was Pacific Chill. I like to layer the two.
Thank you very much for the very illustrative video Marcelo. I learned historical things that I didn't know about the oud.
I agree that the oud is the majestic note! I prefer the Louis Vuitton oud, Les Sables Roses. Oud Maracuja also uses a good oud. I have not tested ensar oud! Among fueguia's I like aguila de ambar. Saludos!
Gracia hermano👊🏽 I've heard a number of people recommend to me the LV Oud...need to check these out.
And yes aguila de ambar is incredible...it's clear that you love your Rose Oud combinations; I'm guessing you've tested More Than Words? Curious to hear your thoughts on this one
Awesome to connect Pablo💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector@TheNicheFragranceCollector More than Words is one of my favorite parfums along with Alexandria 2. MTW has everything! What a sillage! I watched your description of mamluk again, and I think I will go for a blind buy! What about Ceylon? More challenging?
@darllord12 yes Ceylon is a lot more heavy on the Oud note with the black tea note making it slightly bitter. If you enjoy Oud then this is a masterpiece.
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you very much! another blind buy... Xerjoff...
have you tried the high grade oud chips... OMG smells addictive
I'm yet to experience this and definitely on my bucket list. I would love to purchase a bead oud bracelet; these look incredible and would hope that they might have a slight smell to them.
Where did you experience the chips....in the Middle East? Any recommendations?
Thanks for reaching out @snowhite1qazse4
❤ love this video
I thought you might Sam. You are a 5 Star General when it comes to all things oud💪🏽
Any recommendations that I should try out that we can find in Australia? (I know you have some real big hitters from overseas🤩)
We need to do another catch up in Oligarch💫
Agree ❤️
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector thank you so much for the 5 star general ❤️❤️❤️, there are some great perfumes we can explore here in Australia.
1. Dead of night by strange love NY
2. Jazeel Ghala
3. Xerjoff zafar
4. Teone Reinthal - Saud oud et espies
These are also on my list 😍
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector also a catch up at oligarch ?? 100% no questions asked. I will bring some deserts too.
@@samwaris908 Forget about it!! If you bring the desserts, I'll bring the maté 🧉😎
Al Haramain Golden Oud is the best pure Oud isn't disgusting but beautifully potent.
Thanks for the valuable info, but I was expecting to see King Blue from Amouage.
Yes, King Blue is epic♥️💥
I'm planning to create a follow up episode with the more powerful expressions of oud....King Blue needs to be part of this line up 😎
Thanks for jumping into the conversation @iumtfinci
😳 The Bois 1920 perfume opening sounds terrifying… I would not survive the first 2 minutes!
Ah yes, I've just discovered (from our comments just now) that this is not for you Vivian🙄 Lets say the first 20 minutes will be terrifying and then the remaining 8 hours your head will be spinning 😵💫 🤢
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector 😂 Oui, Marcelo. Ca serait le fin pour moi. Je te souhaite une bonne nuit (presque minuit ici)! Ciao!
@TheNicheFragranceCollector I thought it was fairly restrained, and felt a bit sad that it moderated so quickly. Perhaps I have spent too much time sniffing ouds...
@EdsProlixe Ed you are a five star general… hence the restraint😏 you need King Blue in your life
What are your thoughts on Louis Vuitton’s Ombré Nomade? It’s a pretty interesting oud fragrance
Funny I just responded to a comment in regards to Ombre Nomade....I haven't had the chance to test this one as yet Hasan; clearly need to get my nose on this.
Big recommendation from you?
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector For sure! I think it’s one of the best interpretations of Oud by a Western house
@@hasanhaidar9886 I've had 3 recommendations so far...so yes, will need to check this out! Thanks Hasan
❤️🔥😍
💫♥️
I actually thought the rain noise was your bees! 🐝 😂
I remember at the time of filming that it was so intense and did wonder if it might come through on the mic....yep! Even my editor Hannah, asked me as she was editing "was it raining on the day??"
And yes, as the beehive visual is happening it actually does sound like the hive😂 (it's an equal soothing and I'm going to 'poop my pants' kind of sound😳...when I have them all around me (trying to get into the suit) it's not so soothing)
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector 😂🤣 Hilarious! You are too much! I cannot with you! Stay safe from your little tenants/neighbors!
Ombre nomade is my favorite oud fragrance
It's clear that I need to check Ombre Nomade out....you're now the 3rd person that has recommended this one @Remio777
What is it about this one that hits the mark for you? Curious to know how it might compare to the ones in this line up?
Thanks for jumping into the conversation @Remio777👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector the perfume is strong and dark, i feel like an evil rich man dressed in a dark suit when i wear it. elegant and properly masculine with a hint of rose and raspberry. It really is a work of art to me. The first time I smelled it in the store, I thought, what is this? wet loose tobacco leaves..No, this is probably not for me, so I bought imagination instead.. The following days I sat and pondered what I smelled in the shop, there was something special about the strong smell. Then went back to the store, tricked me a spray on the chest. Found out quickly that I just had to have it. So it is used at Christmas parties and when I go out on the town in the evening. and the beauty of it is that one spray is enough.
@@Remio777 Love this! I love when a fragrance "moves me" like this one did for you....it's thrilling.
I will make a point of test this beauty🖤 Thank you @Remio777 for sharing
While I was watching this video I applied Aurora by Electimuss
Just wondering, where is Initio Oud For Greatness?
What do you think of that fragrance?
It's not one that I currently have in my collection. Clearly one that you love?
I will need to loop back on this fragrance as I know that it's a big hitter.
Good to hear from you @Kingdiecast
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yes it’s currently one of my favorites, and the fragrance I’ve got the most compliments from. One of my first blind buys, and I have just blind bought Xerjoff Naxos from seeing one of your reviews, and it is super good!
Debating on Xerjoff groove xcape or Nishane Fan your flames ?
@@TheScentNetwork Congrats on Naxos. And so happy that its hit the mark with you.
Fan Your Flames will be an easy love for you. But Groove Xcape is the real magic. Not sure if you saw this episode:czcams.com/video/tx2aCjsBB6g/video.html
This one is very different, so recommend that you test first. Of the 2 I totally LOVE Groove Xcape
Good luck!💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you. Yes I have watched that episode and that’s why I got interested in that fragrance, but might have to try xerjoff iommi as well!
Most say your reviews are very good, so thank you for that!!
But yeah I’m going to get Nishane fan your flames.
And I have to try some more Xerjoff scents.
I love it! Fan Your Flames is glorious♥️
Oud Maracuja by Maison Crivelli (which qi would love to watch a video dedicated to that house) and Ombre nomade by luis Vuitton are honourable mention.
I hate Ombre Nomade especially the opening.
I heard many great things about Oud Maracuja, but this is one that I'm yet to explore....will also need to check out Ombre Nomade (haven't heard about this one)
Awesome recommendations Hichem👊🏽
I appreciate you jumping into the conversation
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector And Thank you for your awesome and informative videos I learned a lot from you. 😀😀
12:57 I think you would love the Bee from Zoologist 😂🐝🐝🐝 if you want to smell like honey all day! it's sooo yummy!
I would also recommend Snowy Owl from this house. If you want to emanate like you are made of pure snow! ❄ very special fragrances...
Yes, I think you're right! I've heard so many great things about Bee but am yet to test this one out. We have a new stockist here in Melbourne and I need to go to their showroom 🤩
The whole house is very ingenious; I love the concept and idea. The only one that I've experienced is Harvest Mouse by Luca Maffai; loved it ♥️ (have you checked this one out?)
Great to hear from you @Pangea.
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I've tested almost their entire collection, I was surprised they had them in my local store. I can't remember which one was which. Many I found repulsive, but when they settled down they had a very good special feeling, creamy and delicious. Accidentally, a bunch of them mixed up on my skin and this juxtaposition created yet another gorgeous essence.
By the way, I saw you reviewed Argos Triumph of Bacchus. I am looking to blind buy it, I have been eyeing it for a couple of months. Would you really recommend it? 💥 What feeling does it give?
@@Pangea. You know me; I don't like recommending blind buys as I would hate to give the wrong advice BUT I also acknowledge that 'your money, you do as you wish'😉
If you love boozy, rum and fruits, with a sexy amber dry down; then yes this is for you. I have shared this with a number of family and friends and it's hit the mark for everyone. Plus I feel that the 'bang for buck' is always very good with Argos.
Good luck @Pangea.💫 will be curious to hear your thoughts if you do get this one
have you tried oud maracuja
Not yet, but one that is on my radar to test out....your thoughts on this one?
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector rose/oud where you can smell the maracuja seeds. brilliant but could have been better with a real leather scent instead of a synthetic. Kinda reminds me of Ombre Nomade. The oud is in the back for me, with the fruity, juice accords in the forefront
@KekachiDolan awesome description… Thank you! Definitely need to go and test this one out for myself
I know you forgot about Nasomatto, I forgive you
Yeah, Pardon is reported to have oud in it.
Trust me, I did think about including a Nasomatto in the lineup, but I am forever banging on about this brand that I thought people might get sick of me always talking about them😒
But I thank you for your forgiveness 🙂↕️🫶🏽😬
Sir with respect you need to test amouage silver oud or bortnikoff oud fragrances before making an oud fragrance video even roja dove amber aoud is also good one amoreoud is all about oud fragrances
Will say I found it a bit bizarre how many times you mentioned office wearability within the context of an oud fragrance video. Like that's so clearly not the utility most people are buying ouds for, much less spicy-animalic-resinous ones targeting fall-winter seasons.
Maybe what I should have said; these are ones that "I wear to the office"
They're not offensive; but in fact are perfect for an office environment.
That’s interesting how you incorporated references from the bible, you should mention other works of fiction into your content.
now, now...lets play nice😌
Stercus?! Goodness, your description confuses me. I can’t imagine a business naming their expensive product that. Your description of Sandra’s reaction is funny. I think I have a very sensitive nose. I cannot tolerate fecal or indolic notes.
With Sandra, she has slowly come into loving the oud note but only in the air...off my skin, she recoils 😂😵💫
This is why I have a feeling that you'll love Oud Satin Mood. This is one that she loves to breath off my skin and not just the air.
I'll be curious🧐
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector 🤨 OSM was a fail! But it’s fine since I love so many others from MFK. ♥️
@@vivianagbegha2712 Really surprised by this! I have a feeling that we're going to have to get you started on the Amaroud fragrance's....these guys are great, but their oud has really been washed back. I did these episodes with Kevin early on:czcams.com/video/oq6MyFnHO8E/video.html
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yes, I think I tried some of their creations in December 2022. Pas mal! Merci!
lol which of these has real oud ??
The MFK and Xerjoff websites both state that they use Oud from Laos in each of these fragrance's.
Great to hear from you
@paimei26 💫
Hello, Marcelo. I like this lineup and early today I also watched the vanilla one that was posted in late 2023. But during that video I got tired of your descriptions for every fragrance. My biggest problems with your reviews is the overuse of words such as "glorious", "component" and "fragrance". Your explanation are decent but you constantly struggle to complete them with precise words but can't find them. The other problems that I have are not that significant,but when it comes to your strong elements of your videos (the setup, the audio quality, the camera work, your great tone) together they create a professional general image and then it is subverted your lackluster wording. I hope you'll find my issue reasonable and in the future we won't have any kind of difficulties with each other. With respect, Ovidiu (Chris) Pop.
Great to connect Chris and it's awesome that I finally get to know your name! So much better than using the YT handle.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and yes, the endeavour is to always improve. I purposely read industry magazine's (like NEZ) to expand my vocabulary and the ability to share creatively the feelings that these fragrance's evoke in me, so that it's easier for the audience to understand and resonate with.
The balance to all of this is my desire to express myself sincerely and from my heart. I never prepare a script. I always create loose, bullet point notes.
I want the moment to take me > spray > smell > fall in love > share
As I smell the fragrance, I want my emotions to govern the dialogue and not my mind.
The 3rd element to all of this, is the 'human' and regardless of how much we train, practise, and prepare....when the moment arrives, in the words of the great Gattuso: czcams.com/video/Zp1cKEj-ZtM/video.html
As I mentioned, I am appreciative for you taking the time to help me become better. Change is slow; so whilst I would love to become an incredible orator instantly, the reality is that it's going to take me another 10 years (being optimistic). So this only means frustration for you if you choose to keep watching my homie 😬
I love this clip from Groundhog Day: czcams.com/video/qPZlO3RQd8c/video.html makes me laugh every time (actually I love the entire movie!!).
So on the next NFC episode, focus on the glass half full and you'll be able to get through it😉
Thanks Chris for jumping into the conversation
