    Great review, thanks for taking the time to talk us through this scent. Sounds like I'll need to get my hands on it! Oh, and it's tertiary aspect.

    I blind bought this for half its price,never tried any of the others from the brand, this is my first indie perfume and i must say i like it, its strong multifaceted creation.. Leathery.. Oriss.. Peach.. Jasmine a bit animalic.. I am satisfied with it. Cheers Ram🤠

    Hello Ramsey! I believe i have some very good insight on this perfume.
    I use to own the first formulation of Ensar Oud Iris Ghalia Pure Parfum. I had to part with it for unfortunate reasons and since then I was always trying to get my nose on something similar, and something very similar I found indeed. In comes The Lover's Tale, from the first sniff i almost shed a tear as i smelled this. It smells extremely similar to Iris Ghalia! And when i always smell TLT I'm always transported to the days when i had and smelled Iris Ghalia. And i believe it has to do a lot with this Orris butter smell, they are way to similar to my nose. Ofcourse EO had much more complexity to it but the DNA is very similar. Nonetheless, I'm extremely happy with The Lovers Tale, a fragrance that will forever be in my collection and that i hold very dear.

    hi, great review. I actually like etruscan water and the lover's tale, but you made some very interisting points. I like her use of orris butter and enjoy wearing those fragrances, sometimes I need perfumes like them, but I agree, not the best house nor the most original., too sexualised (even if not too tacky). I appreciated your analysis.

    Hi Rams
    Love your Chanel! I don't know from what year The lover's Tale you tried is, but I stopped buying her perfumes when she publicly said in a interview with Sebastian that she stopped using natural animalic ingredients. I don't know if that will make a difference in your opinion, but your Etruscan Water is one of the perfumes that came out after she said that . I believe the one's with the "FB" in the cap are the new ones with more synthetic ingredients. Cheers and happy new year! 🙏🏼❤️

      Understood! 😂 I don't think the "vintage" ones will make a difference in regards to your opinion and the brand overall. I have like 5 of them and I like them, but for some reason I don't reach for them. Then after your second video I do agree with you 100% in regards to this house.

    You are exactly right on the line Rams ,no shade thrown I have 8 or so from the house ,introduced early to me on my fragrance exploration and I was intrigued for sure so I delved and purchased,Glad to have them ,like Andy Taure and others ,Bortnikoff and Areej le Dore all faves of mine ,all have their original dna which distinguishes their line ,and I guess I like that in these houses ,however these other houses are prone to diversify as they grow and hone their skill set,whilst Francesca stays more in her safe lane ,that said her Hedonic release Divine Perversion marches a bit to a different drum ,very safe yes ,quite linear yes but there’s something I really enjoy about it (don’t think you would like it Rams) it give me a vibe of her Black Knight,which I think is my favorite,the Black Knight I mean great vid man cheers catch ya later 👍🙏✌️

      @@RamseytheRam almost all of them have a syrupy amber DNA. Which is overwhelming.
      I do like a few of them despite this. Their marine one, Akdeniz, was sickening 🤢 at least at the Extrait level of concentration it’s made at. So, of course I likely oversprayed it, so I probably wasn’t using it correctly.
      I have their discovery set. They are a Turkish house. I have no idea how common this is for middle Eastern houses, to have such sweet syrupy DNAs.

    I think I've already said this in your previous FB review but I'm gonna repeat myself anyways 😅: I think she 'overuses' her signature accord (and maybe a commercial base also) and several of her perfumes end up smelling like flankers of that firs accord. The only one I've tried that deviates from this structure (and I've tried them all except the new Musk) is Lost in Heaven, a very nice floral/suede featuring mimosa as the main flower. Maybe Sex & The Sea also has the least bit of her signature accord too now that I think of it 🤔

    I was interested in the house so I got a discovery set. And I absolutely love The Dark Side!! Maybe it's the violet but it is sultry in a cozy, feminine, and almost impish/coquettish way. But.....I totally agree with you in that "her DNA" does make things smell fairly similar to one another. I feel it's special but you kinda are ok with one bottel, pick your favorite and your solid.
    However, it is really interesting how different folks interrupt things differently. To you it's kinda passe, and I get it. But I need to be careful when I wear it in the general public. Because...in my experience it's very polarizing. I've had some compliments but I've also had people say it smells of urine and its "completely awful, gross why do you want to smell like that?!?!" Lol
    And, yes Papillon is amazing!! I just got Dryad and I'm waiting for Salome to come back in stock.

    pause at 1:52 lol but yeah under my skin is my fav! so I know your prolly not going to do this because you already love the original Fiona, but ill mention this anyway! so among other things, James berry may be walking away from perfumery which is sad, but he did updates to Fiona recently (which will be his last I think, batch 5) and it has similarities to under my skin that are really nice! well nice to me you should get your nose on it if you can! I know your more into the unadulterated animalics, but the new version is still the same beast just smoother, and more refined.

    • @RamseytheRam
      @RamseytheRam  Před rokem +1

    The TikTok “performance BEAST” crowd should probably look into Bianchi’s work, but I personally few things as un-erotic as overstaying one’s welcome. It was fun, but the afterglow is long over and it’s been like 6 hours of pillow-talk and it’s insisting on staying for breakfast.
    At least this discovery set venture has told me that I definitely like castoreum as a note. The Lovers Tale and The Black Knight were probably my favorites of the bunch, I’ll keep my nose out for similar things that haven’t been spackled over in orris butter 🤧

    Wow really. Jean Patez ? That was Michael Jackson's signature scent !! That's what I really dig about this channel. It's the knowledge of the little things that matter most. Buying your own Frags makes the review more personal and trusted most of the time and I've noticed I'm not really watching the other review "Send me a bottle " reviewers lately. Love the vintage vids. I love frags but don't have the money to really buy blind and just try stuff. I guess that's why my collection grows slowly. Edit Google has Tom ford Black orchid as his signature scent lol

    • @RamseytheRam
      @RamseytheRam  Před rokem
