Wazamba is an absolute hidden gem. I remember getting my nose on it after hearing Dan(RIP) rave about it and I fell in love with it immediately. It has a timeless old school vibe to it due to the spices but not in a cliche or tired way. It is unique and classy and has some addictive watery notes that tame those spices and make it stand out magnificently.
Marc, have you thought about sprinkling in some vintage content along with the new ones? Just to give the newbies a flash from the past. On how great the community use to be. Spoofs, fragrance idol, mega bottle haul, a starting 5 list, or a list of discontinued frags in your collection. Most of the guys haven't seen all the goodness you have. Oh you can do a top 20 frags you have in your collection for over 10 years.
No coupon code!!?!?!? 😬 This is one that I wanted to try for a long time, after watching this Unboxing I will move it to top priority. Now I understand the WAZAMBAA! thumbnail, RIP Dan Mish, I watched his videos when I started my journey in 2017. There are a lot that I want from the brand but right now my favorite is Tabac Tabou, can't get enough of it. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!
I had a sample of Wazamba, so much fun to say, but I sent it to Ramsey. I think I got it from LS. It would have to be LS. Or maybe not. Maybe it was the old Twisted Lily. I used to get tons of samples from Stamatis back in the day. Anyway, a thumbs up for me. I just got Ambre Russe. I plan on getting a few others. I wish I picked up more from L'Artisan when they had the bottle changeover. I did pick up from Clive directly when they changed some things. I picked up a couple discovery sets and a bottle. Clive C, to me, is the best of all that fit into that category. Polished. Refined. I have Tuscan Leather 2013. I got rid of Mancera's Aoud Leather. The 2nd least of that genre. Golden Boy is a no. Godolphin was ok. I wouldn't own it. Sude et Safran I would for a good cost. The opening saffron is a little rough, but I still enjoy it. oh, we're talking about Parfums de Empire. Great house. Get out old Dan's records Get out old Dan's records We will dance the whole night long It's fun to play the old time songs If old Dan could see us now I know he'd be so proud Gordon Lightfoot
You sent it to the Ram? Wonder if he did a video and sniffed it? I also wished I picked up more L'Artisan as well, there's so much I wanted and then they disappeared.
I'm really interested in this one. Like you, I love Ambre Russe. I also have and love Fougere Bengal (though I could see that being trouble for some people), and especially for hot days in SoCal, really loving Le Cri.
I've liked everything I have blind bought from this brand. I still have this one sitting in my wishlist on fragrance buy. Tonkin and taboc tabou are standouts, but they are all great. Hope to add this one soon
…Thanks Marc for this!…still waiting to unbox 50ml “Azemour Les Orangers” i ordered several months ago from LS…my first kick at D’Empire, love orange notes, really looking forward to it now! also included samples of Cuir Ottoman and Ambre Russe haven’t tried yet…also just love saying Wazamba !
Cheers Marc , I sure liked Dan a lot ,miss the big guy ,hoping his family are all doing great and are well. I kinda echo your point on buying other,really less promising and inferior fragrances?. Daw I have nothing from this house at all ,crazy I know this year I I’ll definitely remedy this oversight,and I know the offerings will be amazing as they are really in my wheelhouse 🙏✌️👍
@@robes08 well you do review the upper echelons in the fragrance game and that in itself gets my full attention Marc, it just confirms what I have on my long wish list, great minds think alike and to hell with the fools that differ hahaha 🤣 cheers man have a great Paddy’s day 🇮🇪☘️☘️
This one sounds really interesting. The only one from this brand that I have tried thus far is Musc Tonkin and - wow - the quality of that one really blew me away and makes me want to try more of their stuff.
Parfum d’Empire is fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend Tabac Tabou. Fougere Bengale is also quite good. Corsica Furiosa literally smells like a tomato garden!
Came across Wazamba ages ago and purchased a 50ml bottle (blind buy). I don't get the FdA comparison. Wazamba to me always stood out as a better version of Gucci GPHI. So much so that I sold my bottle of GPHI and perfectly happy with Wazamba.
I had a decant of this one that I sadly misplaced. 😞 Part of the reason I became hyper organized when it came to my vials. So in a way, it certainly did change my life! 😆 WaZaaaaaaaaaa...
Thanks
holy crap! Thank you!

Happy that you got your nose on it, it's a great one.
I remember when mickers won fragrance idol, wonderous days of yore
I chose the right guy to win, he really pumped the community with energy!
Gone but not forgotten to Mr. Mickers and great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
RIP

I got a sample of Tabac after this video, it was one that I really wanted to sniff.
Hope you liked it! Would be great to hear your take on it @@robes08
parfum d'empire is one of my faves. such a great, underrated house. fragrances with character!
100%

Parfums d´Empire is something else. Absolutely gems, high performers and creativity big time.
100%, love the brand. I really need to revisit it with some samples.
@@robes08 i have almost all of them, gotta make a full house review. Too bad I can't send them to CA.
Just bought Fougère Bengale last month. Chris from -Scentland- suggestions... Excellent, unique. Love it. Will follow up the rest of the brand
I heard good things about that one.
It's good... a real grower.@@robes08
Ohhh, that’s a nice one! An oldie, too! I also sampled it around 2012 or so. The early years of my journey.
the good ol days!
I'm really interested in this one. Like you, I love Ambre Russe. I also have and love Fougere Bengal (though I could see that being trouble for some people), and especially for hot days in SoCal, really loving Le Cri.
I still need to get my nose on Le Cri and Bengal. Really a brand that gets lost in this youtube realm.
I've liked everything I have blind bought from this brand. I still have this one sitting in my wishlist on fragrance buy. Tonkin and taboc tabou are standouts, but they are all great. Hope to add this one soon
I need both tonkin and tabou. I had tonkin in my cart but she's sold out now.

Seems like I'm sparking your buy list a little lately? lol

Another great from Parfum d'Empire (amongst many). Other favorites include Azemour les Orangers, Le Cri, Immortelle Corse, and Tabac Tabou.
I may just sample a few from this list. Thanks for sharing!
@@robes08 Hope you get a chance to. There are some gems there.
Can't wait for the test drive video...great work marc
Thanks my friend!
I loooooove Wazamba. I got my first decant from Dan Mish, bless his soul.
oh wow, small little fragrance world.
This one sounds really interesting. The only one from this brand that I have tried thus far is Musc Tonkin and - wow - the quality of that one really blew me away and makes me want to try more of their stuff.
It's so good! I do need to get my nose back on Musc. I remember it blowing me away.
I really like this, one of my first from Parfums d'Empire. Aziyade is next for me. Such an underrated house.
truth, I need to sniff more as well.
Parfum d’Empire is fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend Tabac Tabou. Fougere Bengale is also quite good. Corsica Furiosa literally smells like a tomato garden!
I really need to get my nose on more of these.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
Great getting your thoughts on this one. Thank you ✌🏻🙏🏻
Always a pleasure seeing you on my channel!
Man I’m just so happy I’m early in my fragrance game and I found Robes giving me hard truths … ever need a American CPA . I’m your guy
😅 I'll keep you posted
I had a decant of this one that I sadly misplaced. 😞 Part of the reason I became hyper organized when it came to my vials. So in a way, it certainly did change my life! 😆 WaZaaaaaaaaaa...
WAZAMBAAA
Nice! If you can try musc tonkin of the same brand the Extrait version👍
Oh I smelled it at launch, it was amazing. It's on top of my buy list.
I need to get this & Ayizade in my collection💯
Yes you do
You make me wanna buy that one
It's very solid, have you smelled anything from this brand? I highly recommend this one, the Cuir and the Ambre.
Good name, had to say it when I seen it.
😅
Cool Tfs
