Hello This is Steven I’m a collector. And I have a collection of Boadicea the victorious as well. I ordered a 1 ml sample of Alkout last week based on your reviews. And I just ordered a full bottle today. I have oud for greatness. Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, widen 71, and I have tried Haltane Parfums de Marly. All of them smell similar, but none of them is as beautiful as Alkout from my memory. Thanks for your great reviews
Thank you and I am glad you are enjoying it. I found Alkout very unique and captivating compared to anything else I have tried so far that would be in the category. Very strong middle eastern influence as you would expect for Boadicea
Recently I got a chance to sample valiant..my god its longlasting.. not a crazy projection but a outstanding longevity like clean citrusi floral mass pleaser scent soapy for hot water and mild cool nights.. but this list you got here I gotta try these.. thanks for introducing these ones to me...
@@universalfragrance I m not sure they have valiant.. dragon yes on sale.. I could be wrong.. I actually like valiant more than reflection man, I thought I never say it but there 😂..but pricier I gota find discount price on it.
its hard to comment..Green Sapphire $ 899..rest of them not too far behind....Pearl Moon $ 645..thats kind of insane..price of anything is relative, but these prices are next level..you are next level 🙂..I watched but i feel like somebody is talking to me about his ferrari while I drive scatpack..do they last ?? do they project ?? are these beast mode ?? Longevity ??
😂 I feel you on that! Boadicea the Victorious is very expensive, but they all really do last and project with great development! You can see the oil on your skin after spraying for over 30-45 minutes in my humid environment. The oil concentration is probably between 35-45% in my experience with extraits and pure parfums. They use very high-quality oils and Christain Provenzano does an incredible job at blending them. Now as for if they are worth the price, that can only be up to the consumer. I find them to be very rich and unique/collectable compared to other companies that have similar price points on fragrances. Best way is to get a few decants or samples to see if it is worth the money to you.
@@universalfragrance ..yeah..scent split has some, 5 ML decants @ $ 70-$ 82.99.. like Blue Sapphire.. again, not that curios to dish that $$ for a decant 🙂.. you cant have it all in life, ha..bottles look classy
@@yaro-8 Yeah man the quality is great but even the decants and samples are hard to buy at that price. Especially when you look at the prices per ML breakdown with samples and decants, they are basically getting 2k out of a $800 bottle.... wild
@@universalfragranceone day when my teenage son is done with AAA hockey I will have extra $ 15,000 every year 😂.. then I ll buy some of these and never look back
@@yaro-8 Absolutely!! People don't realize how expensive Ice Hockey is compared to the other 4 main sports of baseball, football, soccer and basketball. AA/AAA Hockey you can easily spend 20-30k a year in practice fees/ tournaments and equipment. Don't even get me started on prep schools in New England, I was going to attend Avon Old farms but some guy named Jonathan Quick already locked down the starting goaltending position....I don't feel so bad about it now 2 Stanley cups and 1 conn smythe later 😂
