No NonScents I've been burned on my fair share of blind buys, but I have no leather based fragrances and I already have a signature scent (Sehr AL Kalemat), but the notes in LA Yuqawam seem very delicious. Hopefully, this fragrance will fill the void of Jubilation XXV by Amouage that I sold because of its poor performance.
I just bought Rasasi after about a year and a half... I tried this once in high heat at a party (in Poland) and this one was such a beautiful juice. Now I decided to buy for upcoming winter, this gonna be my signature (or home run) scent!
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover BTW la yuqawam it’s mean in Arabic Irresistible :) Just bought one on Amazon today I can’t wait to try it in winter thanks for the 3 if you 🙏
La Yuqawam is amazing! 10+ and it's still on my skin. And I have always had Tuscan leather.. but I wont be renewing that. La Yuqawam does the job more. I even get more compliments with the La Yuqawam.. it's crazy 😄💯💯
La Yuqawam is a real beast! especially the first spray out of a new bottle for some reason. Give it some time, let it grow on you, it will become part of your body eventually.
This stuff is addictive!! Funny part is when I first smelled it I was not sure if I loved it or hated it lol. Now after wearing it a number of times I absolutely adore it!! The not-to-sweet raspberry mixed with the smooth leather is a winning combo. I never smelled Tuscan Leather and honestly was not about to shell out that much anyway. I just wish I could get my fiancee to like it as much as I do lol. She thinks it is way too strong. Excellent review!!!!
i have never smelled Tom ford TL but i do have the rasasi layuqawam pour homme and i am happy to have it insteasd of tom ford with a cheaper cheaper price, it smells fantastic
To be honest, i own two of it, I noticed la yuqawam to be harsh at the opening. On my skin, la yuqawam is more leathery, only first opening has more fruity vibe. La yuqawam is just going very harsh leather and wood in my opinion while tuscan leather is well balanced from the opening to dry down. I do like the dry down of layuqawam, yes its very close to dry down of TL. But I just do not like the first 1~2 hour of layuqawam.
James Lee Totally agree with you, although for me its only about 15 minutes before i cant tell the difference anymore. But yeah, the opening is more harsh, miss a little more creamyness there compared to TL
I love the smell of Rasasi Layuqawam , my wife told me that she can still smell it even when i am not wearing it, it imprinted on her, she whispered, ”do not wear that again or it is not going to happen”.
Steve and Carlos are restraining from giving Rasasi props over Tom Ford. The other dude just keeps it real. I also prefer LY to TL because of LY's better overall quality and performance. It's okay to admit when a lesser known house does a scent better than a more well known designer/niche brand that primarily appeals to the wealthy. This happens from time to time. When it does, don't be afraid to speak the truth by giving props where due.
Cool vid, always good to see a new face. La Yuqawam is the best clone of any high end Niche fragrance, that I have come across. And Rasasi owe me some seriously $$ because I was the first person on YT or FB to talk about this one:-)
Thanks guys Very confusing though Some say LY smells exactly like TL's drydown. Some say it goes in a different direction. I can't get a cheap LY in my country, and can't test it. In fact, I can get 50ml of TL around 25$ cheaper than 75ml of LY - what would you do in this case, go for the original ? Meaning, objectively (disregarding the price), is TL better than LY?
@@ShahsawarM Hi. Thanks for the reply. The comment I left 7 months ago is no longer relevant. I did get my hand on a sample of LY. I didn't like it at all. I ended up buying TL and Godolphin. I like Godolphin the best, and layer it with TL to get the perfect result. BTW, in the case of OW, I ended up buying Thameen Carved Oud - it's better than OW on my skin and no layering is needed, so I skipped buying OW. The bottom line is - it's so personal (skin and nose) that you can't trust reviewers at all. LY turned into a flat cloying berry juice on my skin. No depth. No sophistication. For my picky nose, it is considerably(!) inferior to PdM and TF.
Great review, Garry, Carlos, & Steven. The three of you look and appear to work great, together. I have not sniffed La Yuqawam, so I don't know the comparison, but I like really like Tuscan Leather.
Greetings Gentlemens fragSquad!!!! I a Thierry Mugler Fan (Alien,angel,Muse,Womanity) , Olivier Cresp and Thierry Wasser my favs .... as crazy projection+Longevity+Siaj+ Versatility.... what do you recommend..?!.... and as “clones” like ARMAF AND RASASSI....what Woman edp you had discovered..?!... I also like VersaceYellowDiamond edp, Aqua di Gioia edp, Manifesto YSL, Opium edt ,Dior dune edt as scents .... love you all FragEllite
I have both fragrances but I really do inch towards Rosasi mainly bc of the price. Also, to me Rosasi is a bit stronger. However, I do luv my TL and OL.
Tuscan Leather has Raspberry notes for days. Have to disagree with Carlos in that this smells NOTHING like new car smell at all unless you are driving a raspberry beret. See what I did there?
Just got la yuqawam. Im a huge tom ford fan.... im shocked how f*cking good the clone is. I think it might be better. Cdnim is absolute fuc**ng trash for reference.
LaYuqawam some how doesn't last very much on me and i have to re-spray every hour, I thought I might gone nose blind but no one else around me smelled anything either, I'm pretty sure I have genuine fragrance bought through reputable source, Personally I like the smell but not sure how you saying Silage is good or last long on you...... not the case here......
Syed Aamir hey Syed...I I believe you are a oud enthusiast. I have safaris and khashab oud. Is there any niche oud frag I shouls really try? Atheer combodia by Rasasi or black incense ASQ or Kalemat black ..or anything else worth buying
There's another shockingly amazing clone of Tuscan Leather, and it only costs a few dollar. Try Surrati Tuscan Leather! Only a few dollars! Don't believe me? Just give a try, won't hurt even if you don't like it coz it's too freakin cheap
BTW - Tom Ford have white orchid, Ysl Opium - to my nose these are similar 93% - maybe tf is a little bit smokyer ,just a bit .... why is considered so exclusive Tom Ford ?!...niche , if is not a unique odor fragrance aroma ...?!
Why have Carlos and Steven on your channel if you're not even going to give them an opportunity to assess the fragrance. Oi vey. If all you wanted was was their followers to give you a boost because of their names, the least you could have done is mention that it's a three-way dialogue review with "Steven from Redolessence" and "Carlos from BFL" on your header. Instead you had them on, crammed together like sardines at a little table, and basically wasted six minutes of their lives, and ours. You could have stretched that out into a twenty minute video dealing with the nuances and aspects/notes of BOTH fragrances. Basically; all you said was "this is a cheaper version of that" and "I won't be buying THAT again any time soon." What a slap in the face to Tom Ford, and what a waste of a good opportunity to share in the expertise/noses of Steven and Carlos. What did you get, performance anxiety? Come on.
RIP Carlos....still can't believe you're gone... wonderful collaboration!!!
You know this fragrance is the bomb when 3 vloggers get together to discuss it. 2 bottles of this beauty is on the way to me as we speak.
Jemarlon Johnson both of these are fantastic! Thanks for commenting!

Jemarlon Johnson hi, is your signature scent also known as Kalemat Arabian Oud Black?? I’d like to try it, but want to get the right scent
Am I the the only one who thinks Tuscan Leather and clones smell horrible?
Congrats and thanks for having me on your launch video.
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover Thank you for evrything Carlos!

@@donrock6503 which batch do you have?
@@donrock6503 haven't heard such things. I've also ordered a bottle.
@@donrock6503 yes

Love seeing you guys together doing a review. Thank you. 😊
Please keep sharing great recommendations like this one!
Rasasi LaYuqawam is my preference
i have never smelled Tom ford TL but i do have the rasasi layuqawam pour homme and i am happy to have it insteasd of tom ford with a cheaper cheaper price, it smells fantastic
Dynamite hello is it only for winter or for cold weather and nights ?
Og KUSH yeah winter only because its a really heavy scent
Dynamite thanks

They just like tom ford more stfu
Awesome to have a new face to the reviewers club. Welcome👋
Jose Velazquez Thank you soo much Jose!
Nabeel Arab Tradition is also crazy close and dirt cheep. I get 12 hrs longevity with it and to my nose, a touch more raspberry.
Cool vid, always good to see a new face. La Yuqawam is the best clone of any high end Niche fragrance, that I have come across. And Rasasi owe me some seriously $$ because I was the first person on YT or FB to talk about this one:-)
Greggieboy76 thank you! I completely agree!
Great to have your collective opinion...will try Layuqawam right away....thanks guys 👌
Two heavy hitters 😁 Nice collaboration on this one guys
I just know Godolphin, and really adore it, so can I easily blind buy LA yuqawam?
Idk if my bottle is bad or not cuz when I first bought it I loved it but shortly after I started hating it 😫
Much thanks to these brilliant men
Thanks guys

Gipsy Avenger I own a mercedes amg , trust me , when I got it delivered till 8 months into it , leather smelled similar to tuscan leather
Great review guys!
Great video 🍷
Thanks for the the review. Will buy it soon..
Very nice review, but I agree with the host. I have both and they are so close to my nose, that the price point makes it a no brainer for me.
the nishane one is Suede et Safran. Still missing Carlos
Thanks for such great & honest review 😁
Does oud 24 hours smells like black orchid ?
Rasasi is killing these big houses now...
If you are in budget go for RaSaSi
MARK ROBERT how much did it cost 8 months ago ?
Just got la yuqawam. Im a huge tom ford fan.... im shocked how f*cking good the clone is. I think it might be better. Cdnim is absolute fuc**ng trash for reference.
Have you tried Oudh 36 Elixir 💪🏽
Awesome review
James Paps thank you James!

Great Review. Thanks -Martin

Welcome Gary. La yuqawam is quality juice through and through.
Syed Aamir hey Syed...I I believe you are a oud enthusiast. I have safaris and khashab oud. Is there any niche oud frag I shouls really try? Atheer combodia by Rasasi or black incense ASQ or Kalemat black ..or anything else worth buying
Fry downs are different openings are the same... Rasasi rocks!
You made me subscribed
Great video
RIP BFL❤
rasasi la yuquan is the most amazing thing i have smell this 2019...well, second best thing. This is just an epic fragrance.
Yeah it's great frangrance but I felt it has very low performance in terms of projection..
@@inamullahchandio3734 have u had a cold? This frag is NUCLEAR
Ombre Leather >>
🔥🔥
There's another shockingly amazing clone of Tuscan Leather, and it only costs a few dollar. Try Surrati Tuscan Leather! Only a few dollars!
Don't believe me? Just give a try, won't hurt even if you don't like it coz it's too freakin cheap
being an oil it projects nothing.
it does.
Nice tag team
They smell pretty much the same to me!
BTW - Tom Ford have white orchid, Ysl Opium - to my nose these are similar 93% - maybe tf is a little bit smokyer ,just a bit .... why is considered so exclusive Tom Ford ?!...niche , if is not a unique odor fragrance aroma ...?!
👍
Rasasi LaYuqawam is summer fragrance or winter?
Winter
Lol
Summer 👌👀
Can women wear this scent too ? Is there a fragrance from La Yuqawam comparable to Tobacco Vanille ?
A clone you mean ?
Og KUSH Comparable...
Anyone else think this stuff is incredibly harsh?
La Yuqawam is very very very very better than Tuscan Leather sorry TF
It smell like yardley gentleman royal oud.
la yuqawam.....is just as expensive as tom ford in Europe...but why would anyone want to smell like the "interior of a luxury car" anyhow...
Its 78 £ like everywhere...notino
GIT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE COOLWATER... how do people think this? ?? !
How much was La Yuqawam before the price went up?
Price is stable, 80 bucks
Try ARABIAN MUSK from the house of NABEEL that is the daddy clone of the TF TL Trust me.
just got layuqawam today in the mail!
Eddi3 When you received your bottle is the it full to the top, or does it look like it’s missing juice?
Omr Alvrdo it's not full, looks like it is missing some juice, but couple of people told me their bottle is the same ,not completely full.
Cadillac Mack I wore it twice, no compliment, but I like it
drydown is 95%,maybe even more same as Tuscan Leather
how much did it cost ???
