Amouage Beach Hut Man - real world fragrance review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In this video, I take you on a journey through Amouage Beach Hut Man, a fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of being a castaway from a ship wreck. Beach Hut Man opens with a refreshing burst of mint and citruses, evoking the crisp, clean air of a coastal retreat. As it develops, the scent reveals a heart of earthy vetiver and moss, complemented by woody notes of myrrh and patchouli, creating a sophisticated and grounded experience. I'll discuss its remarkable longevity, impressive sillage, and how it evolves on the skin, making it an ideal choice for those who love a fragrance that embodies both tranquility and rugged elegance.

Thank you for reviewing this lovely fragrance, the idea of the beach in the west especially in the United States. It’s something tropical it’s fresh. It’s fruity the smell of the ozonic, but it’s very different in the Middle East. I am Middle Eastern and I grow up by the beach this particular beach that we had a vacation home was very isolated. It’s not very commercialized or clean as matter fact there was a lot of wild bushes growing everywhere and when I smell this fragrance exactly reminded me how that beach smelled ! Very dry, very hot, very regal and the aroma you got from those dry bushes also come across as green and dry … when my wife gifted me this fragrance the moment I smelled it it instantly reminded me of me as a kid walking around that particular beach at 3 o’clock in the afternoon with 110°. Like you, Said , this fragrance is not for the pity boys. This is a regal manly man who does not care about complement or what people think of him.Or her
Wow thanks for the story, we often get tunnel-visioned in our culture and completely disregard the meaning of things in other places. Thanks :)
Agree. For me, this scent always reminds me of the lush beaches in the Seychelles. If you like the smell, pay those beaches a visit!
@@TheChrisHawk you definitely got me interested!
Excellent review. To me, it's a very 'humid' minty fougere with beastly projection and the first Amouage I think I ever wore on the regular. Tied with Bracken in my top 5 fougeres currently. Easily one of the most complimented from the brand too. But it's a very rich, warm and fuzzy scent to the point of being almost piercing. Definitely could be overwhelming like you said. That Killer Oud Cabana dupe nailed the opening, but fell apart after that. Beach Hut remains robust throughout and far more 'professional'. One of the best fragrances for a mature dude.
@@justaddlight I never tried Braken Man and it’s increasingly unlikely I will. Sad because it appears to be highly rated. In any case, better to have more power that can be dosed than not enough 🙂
@@SeldomlyOften I had the chance to buy Bracken Man (after a long chase) from a popular discounter months ago for a relativelly good price (under 300 euros). Chances are, that there are more bottles out there somewhere. Anyway, the DNA is very similar to TF Beau du Jour or Orto Parisi Viride. Let's say it s a Amouage twist of the popular fougere style so it can seem redundant, expecially for the price. But being Amouage (if one loves the brand)... it's more a "want" than a "need"
This is my first Amouage full bottle purchase after having sampled about 15 of their perfumes and it was the best decision ever. I have received countless compliments since and people asking what I was wearing, even with just 1-2 sprays and after several hours of spraying - the projection and longevity is just out of this world. I totally agree that this is not what one would consider a 'beach' or 'summer' fragrance (no marine elements, I do not even smell any citruses here), and it can totally be worn in all seasons. I personally prefer it in late spring or early autumn. There is also something vintage about it, which I love and it gives the fragrance even more character.
@@nkllazarevskilllll it’s indeed incredibly unique smelling while giving off a high quality feel. I live around very descreet people that never comment on anything but I can tell they are intrigued every time I wear this 😬
I recently got a sample of this. WOW….this stuff is nuclear ☢️!! I don’t get any orange blossom in this or even a hint of sweetness. What I do get is an incredibly strong cloud of realistic freshly picked mint leaves and a ton of ivy, moss, and vetiver. This has to be the greenest fragrance I have ever tried. To be honest I would prefer if it had a bit of citrus or something to balance it out. Not in line with my personal taste (I.e. Tobacco, Incense, Oud, Resins, Spices, etc.), but truly amazing projection and quality. It’s a Green Battering Ram that will knock you on your A$$!! ⚡️
@@silverfox311 I know right!? I don’t get any sweetness at all but the orange blossom might be in there to help tone stuff down. I get a little bit of a zingy top: maybe lime or ginger?
I’m also more for dark scents like you but somehow I’m really drawn to this every time I spray it.
Great review!!I believe BeachHut was my first Amouage fragrance and it still holds up. Wearing it primary in summer and spring along with green fragrances in my collection (Cedrat Boise intense, ambra calabria and Terre D’Hermes ). Longevity and sillage are quite impressive..really gentleman like
@@erezimenamukoro75 I does have hints of an old school vibe. Very gentlemanly indeed 🙂
I have royal tobacco and Junilation 40 and I hardly find the time to wear them. I have more than 8 months without use it
@@EJM-Essentials why is that? I love those too and although it’s hot, I always manage to at least get a spray on, in the evening.
I love most of the Amouage fragrances, but this one was just way too similar to the smell of a cat litter. If you ever smelled a cat litter, you will most likely recognize the similarities. I wanted to like it so much that I've tried using it in spring, summer, fall, and winter. It always comes back to a kitty litter box smell.
@@NYCRiders I have a cat actually and I’m quite familiar with the litter box 😅
I don’t get any ammonia in this at all, do you have a specifically scented cat litter?
It's definitely not indicative of the beach. The name must refer to the hut itself. Wet, mossy wood. An overgrowth of ivy. A thatched roof of island vetiver.
It's cool and greee, with just enough of a dark, resonous heart to make it weird (in a very good way).
There's no better house in the perfumery game, and this one might be my favorite from them.
I just love people's description of Amouage fragrances, it just shows how great they are at conveying a mood and at sparking imagination.
Thanks for the comment :)
what is your top 5 fragrance ever?
@@Rexy_boss I’ll make my first top 5 video as a 2k special, soon 👍
This was a grower for me. I didn’t really care for it at first. Now I enjoy it and it’s my most worn Amouage. It’s just so easy to wear while still being unique. Bought a backup because of the possibility it will be discontinued soon. Not something I usually do, more so because in this case I’ll only need 3-4 sprays each wear. Lifetime supply I guess 😅
@@bulletje33 oh boy, second bottle is definitely lifetime supply 😬
Once Beach Hut clicks, you can never let it go anymore 😎
I remember sampling BHM for the very first time and trying to figure it out, thinking of its name. What I imagined is I was walking on this wild beach and the only evidence of human presence is an old wooden hut that's been claimed by nature through high humidity and winds, covered in green, bitter weeds, and surrounded by mint bushes which I'm crushing in my hands to get a better feeling of freshness in this peaceful, almost desolated place.
Another masterpiece from the house of Amouage, which I have yet to own a full bottle of, but it's on my very short wishlist.
Thank you for this video, Daniel.
@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 thanks for the comment and the beautiful imagery 🙂
Does anyone know where I can get legitimate samples of this fragrance?
@@kc209 the official Amouage website is best place for genuine samples
Decantx is the main place I have tried. About 30 to 40 scents now. Very trustworthy
We need more & more of your Amouage fragrances review 😍
More to come!
Well, looks like I'm selling a kidney again. At least I'll smell good :)
@@j.4610 tell me about it, I just got a 2017 bottle of Oud Satin Mood Extrait 🙃
Quality content 👌
@@adamsue8919 thanks! 🙏
I’ve had a decant of bhm,, getting a full bottle very soon,,, outstanding fragrance,, great review of this awesome fragrance 👍🏻👍🏻
@@grahamblair3363 it’s amazing 🤩
Amouage's best! Mindblowing! I see Enclave as the wintry update
@@Tony-os6ib Yes! It’s like a drug to me, as mentioned in the video, it really dilates my pupils!
One of the best greenery smell..Perfomance outstanding..But not for everyone..If you like it you will love it..Favourite one
@@100piyum yes, this is a strong sample first recommendation from me.
Love your content! Could you make a review of Amouage Interlude Black Iris in the future? Maybe comparing it to its siblings. :)
@@gladiator7123 I plan to get a bottle when I find a good deal but in the mean time, I sort of touched upon Black Iris in my Interlude Man review. Thanks for watching!
Would be interesting hearing a comparisons with the Viride by orto Parisi 🤓
They smell completely different. Viride is much darker and dirtier. They ring at two totally different tones 😉
I had bought it based on the hype like this video. It was a dissapointment. It is just a flat scent of some greenich, not at all appealing or special. So i sold it after a couple of weeks. A cheap perfume like Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme is far more better. Do not fall for this hype; for me and what i heared a lot others this is really nothing special.
@@John-ey7vf sorry it didn’t work out for you. I have no reason to hype it other than really liking it. Was this not unique enough for you or was something else missing?
Beach Hut Woman reminds me of Silver Mountain Water but with patchouli in the base -- worth a sample
@@notjohn9 oh, I thought there would be more sea notes in the base. I still need to try it, I’m intrigued.
Thanks for the quality videos, it’s truly refreshing in the fragrance RUclips space. I’ve recently purchased this and it is quite unique, strong and special. I enjoy green scents like hacivat and pdm greenley. My only issue is you must be sure you want to smell like it ALL day, you can’t change your mind halfway through the day! Also whichever room you spray it in, it will smell like it all day. Not for everyday wear because of how strong it is.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, this one is definitely one of those commitment type scents, I have some fragrances (which I adore) that last half a day, but I tend to like the powerhouses 😎
Jungle Hut man would be more appropriate for this gem in my Amouage collection. Love it as well, quite a distinctive and memorable fragrance. Also, the “Woman” line has quite a few gems, but Beach Hut Woman is not the first one to try. Overture Woman, Epic Woman, Memoir Woman and Jubilation Woman should be higher on your sample list 😉
@@gerardzonjee I’m planning to do open a new series on my channel with the sampling of some woman fragrances 👍
lol, I'm always afraid if I wear my favorite fragrances too much I'll get bored of them.
I almost get the smell of fig leaves in Beach Hut man, I guess it could be the ivy. I really enjoy it. It's on the list to add to my collection. Thank you for the review!
@@garlandloydtullos thanks for the comment! Yes, I like to cherish every time I wear the scents I like but I realize it’s kind of silly because I’ll never use 100ml like that 😬
Definitely a grower for me. Kinda meh the first time but at the moment frantically searching it in discounters. Strong fougere perfect for cool summer nights and not hot days in my opinion. As usual i m talking about high heat summer though :P . Makes me wonder about bracken and sunshine man
@@komm13 yeah I wonder about Sunshine and Braken too, Amouage should definitely bring out something else fresh.
Probably the strong association to your childhood gives life to this scent.
The strong herbals might be weird for some people.
Very interesting, great stuff 🙂
@@PainfulPig definitely not for everyone! But I like unusual, strong, high quality fragrances and this one fits that bill exactly 👍
Beach Hut Man is one of the best perfumes in my collection. It's super strong 💪
@@rogerlid2118 definitely uniquely powerful for being so fresh 👍
One of my favourites in my whole collection.
For uniqueness among Amouage alone, it's definitely up there for me as well.
I had picked this up about a month ago and have worn it many times, it's just amazing!
Thanks for the comment, yes, I agree, I love it!
Would love to see the other fragrances in your top 5 and your thoughts on beach hut women
@@j.4610 didn’t smell Beach Hut woman yet! Would love to, could be amazing 🤩
... been one of my summer signatures this year
I don't wear too too often (I test and wear a ton of stuff but I'm also scared of getting tired of it, as mentioned) but every time I wear it I'm in awe.
Unbelievably challenging opening which lasts forever. You have a feeling that you stucked your head in a bush of poison ivyes. And opening lasts forever. Drydown is awesome. I can bear skanky ouds, animalic muscs, animalic leathers but green bombs are biggest red light in perfumery for me
@@Principemostprincipe so wait, do you like this or not? But yeah, it’s very potent and not for everyone 👍
@@SeldomlyOften unfortunately i do not like it haha
Got a 2ml sample with my Reflection Man, I was absolutely not prepared for this. Have to try to test it again this year.
Oh yeah, especially if you were expecting the soft effect of Reflection, I bet this really caught you off-guard :D
If you think it's your thing, give it another go; a lot of people here also say it's a grower :)
@@SeldomlyOften I had a similar experience with Nishane Ege, expecting aquatic, but it was a lot more herbal, hated it at first, but loving it this year.
Nice! If you like the realistic herbaceous notes, check out Corsica Furiosa by Parfum d’Empire. You will think you’re walking through a tomato garden!
@@nathanielmoody3656 never heard of this one, time for more research 😎
I have a decant of that (Corsica F) and unfortunately find it too bitter and kind of old fashioned. I would also suggest French Lover by Frederic Malle and Orage by LV (although the latter is too fleeting). My favorite tomato leaf/stem fragrance is From the Garden by Maison Margiela. It’s so uplifting
@@SeldomlyOften check out the whole line. Really good quality for the price. Tabac Tabou is amazing.
I got a 5ml sample of this just a few days ago. It indeed smells very realistically like mint leaves and a bunch of roots. I couldn’t identify the tomato vine smell, but I know what you’re talking about. To me, it smells more like a bunch of green leaves that someone has crushed in their hands, with some added sweetness, Earl Grey tea, and mint.
I'm not sure if I will wear this or invest in a full bottle, but it definitely has noticeable quality.
@@imbo8864 yeah, fresh green herbs crushed in hands or with a mortar is exactly my impression. I don’t get the tomato stem specifically either, I mostly used that as an example of the type of potent, green smell to expect 👍
I want a sample of BHM too. It's really difficult to find a sample here in canada. Can you give me a link it would be a great help?
@@akshat2000 no idea to be honest, fragrancebuy.ca? I order from Amouage directly
This was one that I was hesitant to try when I visited the boutique at first, because of the heavy mint and also I was setting my sights on the darker heavier scents for that visit. However my girlfriend revisited the boutique recently and tried among the other more refreshing offerings and it actually sounds like something that I would really enjoy. As I mentioned before, I'm looking for something that has a really good and effective cooling effect and my initial thought was to go for a very juniper berry heavy route, but maybe something with a huge blast of mint could be the one for me haha!
I've seen some rumors and soft confirmations online that this one may also be getting discontinued unfortunately. There was a person on fragrantica that just mentioned that they got an email from a UK representative saying the manufacturer has discontinued it. It's still at my boutique over here in the USA, but I fear they may be starting to phase it out. I'll do my best to try it out soon and see if it's special enough for me to grab before it's gone 😢
As always Thanks for your great review! Once you hit the finish line for this brand, maybe you can do some more comparing and contrasting with the fragrances like you do with your first impression series. Cheers
@@ethanrrs this is definitely refreshing! Juniper berry works also but you need to like the gin-like booziness. My juniper berry reference at the moment is Irish Leather.
I love Beach Hut Man, I don’t understand why they would discontinue it, it’s a unique fresh scent for Amouage.
Yeah I’m already thinking of way to revisit things 🙃
@@SeldomlyOften I hope they don't discontinue it, but there's often a lot of reasons for that to happen, like creative direction, sales, ingredients becoming more scarce, etc, for them to pull the plug on an offering. Fingers crossed it stays in their lineup longer.
@@SeldomlyOftenI tried beach hut man recently and I do enjoy it a ton! I'm deliberating on whether I want a bottle or not, haha! I appreciate that the mint forward accord isn't in the spearmint, chewing gum or toothpaste realm like I associate Enclave with -- maybe the ambery base and sweetness attributes to that feeling for me.
I also tried portrayal Man, and I might like that one a bit more than beach hut -- they're not very similar to one another aside from being big green experiences, but there is still a fresh, cooling, almost sinus-clearing aspect of the gasoline association that the heavy dose of violet leaf and cade oil brings. I might place it somewhere in between reflection and beach hut if that makes sense; a bit of a soapy clean floral nuance but a very green and vetiver base. Some people also get a bit of a gin or clear liquor vibe, so maybe some of the unlisted notes may also be a mint, juniper berry, or medicinal leaning patchouli. I suggest trying it out if you haven't already! I have nicknamed him Petrol Man.😂
@@ethanrrs I really need to get my nose on Portrayal Man, I’m pretty sure it’s not my thing but I’m curious nonetheless. Thanks for the reminder!
Could u mention the top 5?
@@DavideV101 I’ll make a video about it soon 👍
❤
Rumours have been going around that this has been discontinued.
It is
@@RobbieSwan not yet, it’s still on the Amouage website, maybe they want to finish off the stock?
I might need to sample it and consider getting a bottle before it's finally gone @@SeldomlyOften
just emailed them this morning they said its not discontinued. However in most places its out of stock. In my country its still available albeit full price and never discounted
@@komm13 I don't think I'll ever run out personally, get yours while you can!
I have one amouage that is beach hut man
@@yazeerarafath3475 bold start! I don’t think it necessarily represents the house but hey, an open door to Amouage is as good as any ❤️
@@SeldomlyOften how about black iris in summer??
Bcz amouage mention that is summer perfume in website?
@@yazeerarafath3475 Huh, Black Iris is a heavy beast, not really sure how it would fare for the average person in summer. I’m the kind of guy that wears everything, everywhere but I try to give recommendations considering a western perfume taste and approach. In other cultures things vary a lot: in the Middle East you can wear a super heavy scent in the deep of summer and no one will bat an eye.
