  • As I've said before, this is not exactly what it seems.
    I don't have a "worst" or "best" Amouage fragrance in my collection, but I do enjoy some of them more than others. So I decided to rank them for you guys!
    There are obviously plenty of offerings missing here, but this ranking of 11 of my Amouage fragrances should hopefully serve as an entertaining and informational video!
    Links to try all of them will be down below!

    Wonderful line-up there, Justin. As you've noticed I'm a huge Karine fan and Boundless is my favorite fragrance of all since it came out so I'm biased to heck, haha. The love for Enclave is awesome. I really need to get my nose on Bracken, it's one of the few I haven't sniffed. The only ones missing here in my humble opinion are Journey Man (insane tobacco) and Memoir Man (although this one I can understand it being divisive, that artemisia is harsh but as a lover of absinth I dig it). It's a shame no one talks much about the attars. They are indeed insanely expensive even for what they are but man, so beautiful. As a lover of iris, Orris Wakan got me a rush of serotonin the first time I sniffed it!

    Another great review. I appreciate the rationale and the support of your reasons of your ranking. My first niche fragrance was Black Iris and soon after Jubilation 25. I understand why Reflection is ranked as high but agree that it is a different representation of the Amouage brand/dna. That being said ..
    1-Jubilation (maybe #1 in my total collection or tied w Triumph of Bacchus )
    2-Black Iris
    3-Royal Tobacco
    4-Enclave (agree that it is remarkably unique)
    5-Journey
    6-Overture (only to be worn and enjoyed at home lol)
    of those I have sampled…
    7-Rose Incense
    8-Symphony Woods
    9-Rock Rose

    I enjoyed hearing your likes/loves of Amouage, and you've nearly convinced me to take the plunge on Enclave, which is something I never thought I'd be interested in even though I love almost everything Amouage makes. I have typed this and deleted this statement twice, but I'm pretty sure now, and I'm gonna say it. I think Amouage is my favorite house. My husband and I have all the "regular" (as in *not* Library editions, attars, etc.) Amouage pairs up until the 2020 releases. They never fail to make me thankful to have an olafactory system. And ladies, you can immediately elevate your mood by +5 by just wearing Amouage Sunshine Woman. I generally don't care for strictly feminine scents, but this one absolutely rocks my socks. It's amazing!! I almost want to do a little happy dance every time I put it on. 😊

You enjoyed it and talked it up so much had peaked my interest even further. Needless to say I’m not disappointed and it has become one of my personal favorites.

    I love Beach Hut Man and Bracken Man. The other two Amouages I have are Interlude Black Iris and Opus VI, both of which I like a lot, but I find fewer occasions to wear. Opus VI (which may be discontinued, but is still pretty available) is a bit unsung, but worth getting your nose on if you like big amber frags. It has a great bay leaf note in the opening, which makes it stand out from other amber fragrances I have.

The sprayer who sold it to me actually gave me a sample of another and let me try reflection man and recommended blue to me. I didn't really care for blue on paper but damn it came alive on my wrist. I was smelling it for the entire 8 hour flight and into the next morning. I'm confused though because I could swear it was on a blue bottle but when I look now online, it's brown.

    I agree with you on the smell of jubilation. It’s not as longevity as i expected. Projection isn’t very in your face either but it is expensive so
    Definitely a special occasion fragrance.and I am not sure but I think that is why when I spray it I need to practically stand on the sprayer to get a small amount out of the bottle. Boundless.. it’s one of my favorite Amouage… I get your notes but I heard someone else saying that it reminded them of CHAI TEA ☕️. And I am a sucker for CHAI . I am awaiting search right now.. joma had a deal on it about a month ago so I purchased it. It was 150 cheaper but had to wait 5 weeks for delivery.

I started to follow karine vinchon spehner through amouage, boundless i found the incense pretty similar with memo tiger nest (without knowing at that moment that it is her work), and after i tried lineage a month ago i found it similar to xerjoff groove xcape, also her work. She has a signature way in the use of incense that i believe im able to identify. I really enjoyed your rank list

    I appreciate this review! Amouage is my favorite house and def oriented towards niche lovers, with a few exceptions. My top favorites are: Overture Man, Royal Tobacco, Journey Man, Interlude Black Iris, Jubilation XXV, Oud Ulya, Boundless, Reckless Leather, Overture Woman, Reflection Man, Interlude Man, and Material. I love others I have, and there are some weeks when I absolutely reach for Lyric Man, Fate Man, Epic Man, Enclave, and Gold Man. The others I do remind myself to work into rotation, or have to be in a very specific mood, such as Silver Oud and Portrayal Man. I agree, Reflection Man is an awesome and lovely fragrance, and is the one I would not pick as coming from Oman. My favorite house, The Gift of Kings.

    I was recently given a sample of Enclave in a perfume shop on the coast of Italy, and I wore it in 30° no problem. I find it incredibly versatile for how complex it seems to be, I feel freshness in the opening, but mostly it is amber spicy, balsamic scent to me and I definitely pick the rose in there, which is not a note I usually tolerate, but the whole blend works amazing for me!
    However, my favorite from the brand would be Interlude. Hated it when I first tried it, I thought the sample was spoiled. Tried it a few more times, and eventually, it grew on me to the point my brain picks a very different fragrance when I smell it now.
    I'm testing Search these days and a similar thing is happening as I couldn't stand it the first few times I sprayed it, even had to scrub it, now I'm starting to understand it, I even like it.
    Forgot to mention my second favorite Amouage is Reflection Man. This and Interlude are the only full bottles I own. Bracken Man might be the 3rd because my wife loves it.

    Jubilation XV is lovely. Royal tobacco is beast mode but unique. Lineage is beautiful, have yet to wear it. Bracken is one of the best fougere scents. Beach hut man is my favorite Amouage. Enclave is not my favorite because of the mint opening perhaps. I have to try the others.

    Reflection Man smells like a flanker of Montblanc Individuel. Individuel + Dunhill Icon with more roundness and refinement.
    One of my favorites. People complain about performance but it long long-lasting and projecting.

    1. Reflection Man
    2. Lyric Man
    3. Boundless
    I just received Boundless this week. I am waiting for cooler weather to give it a full wearing. I purchased this largely on your (Grace's, actually) recommendation. I am surprised you don't have Lyric Man. I could have sworn you did a review on this waay back in the day. Did you have it and then sell it?

  • @frian3099

    I'm one of those rare folks who firmly believe that Amouage is a perfume house that's incredibly worth the investment. Yeah, I know it's pricey and super high-end, but let's have a little fun and dive into my collection of 14 full bottles of Amouage.
    I've ranked them based on my favorite scents, and we're going to match them up with gender, occasions, and personalities. No harm intended, just a lighthearted exercise!
    1. Opus XIV Royal Tobacco: This one gives off the vibe of a mature gentleman in his 30s, dressed in a sharp tuxedo, riding in a Rolls-Royce as a passenger, attending secretive meetings while puffing on cigars with the world's secret elite.
    2. Interlude Black Iris: Imagine a guy in his late 20s, always sporting a leather jacket, dark-colored shirts, and pants. He's not the chatty type, exuding an air of cool mystery. However, his actions are highly intimidating, and he always takes responsibility for daring, life-changing decisions in his quarter-century of existence.
    3. Reflection Man: Meet a smart, sharp guy who exudes class and elegance. He's the kind who effortlessly pulls off any suit color but always rocks a white shirt and tie. With his hair impeccably styled and a jawline that's perfectly symmetrical, he tackles problems with a cool head. He's easy-going and opens his heart to many women, but only those with class make the cut.
    4. Epic Man: Picture an alpha male, probably in his 30s, who can solve any problem. The way he talks, walks, interacts, and influences those around him is always epic. He dresses elegantly, and people simply call him "Epic." He's a man of few words but leaves an epic impression.
    5. Bracken Man: This guy embodies masculinity with a rugged beard and a gaze that's always sharp and radiant. He's resolute and doesn't always opt for formal suits like tuxedos or jackets. Instead, he usually goes for modern classic suits. He keeps his promises, is responsible, hardworking, and unwavering in his principles.
    6. Overture Man: Think of an alpha male who thrives on challenges, probably in his mid-30s. He maintains a mafia-style appearance, doesn't talk much, but his intimidating gaze speaks volumes. He might have plenty of adversaries because he's not easily influenced by opposition, but he also has quite a following. In a movie, he'd be the wise villain, brave, responsible, and unyielding.
    7. Jubilation XXV Man: This guy exudes authority, charisma, and makes decisive, ambitious choices. He's impeccably dressed in suits and is sought after for his brilliant and enlightening thinking. He's high up in society, not only skilled in governance but also nurturing those beneath him.
    8. Journey Man: Imagine a mature man in his early 40s who's creative, sensitive, and doesn't back down from confrontations, all while maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor. He loves exploring the world, seems to adapt easily, and is quite easy-going when meeting new people. He also enjoys helping others selflessly.
    9. Lyric Man: Picture a young adult in their mid-20s, not very talkative but a master at wooing women with romance and elegance. He loves luxurious dates in his upscale apartment, and no woman can resist his charm.
    10. Boundless: A young, easygoing guy, probably in his mid-20s to early 30s. He's casual, friendly, and down-to-earth. He's not a bad boy but embraces a natural, casual style. He can be both sensitive and forgiving while staying optimistic.
    11. Imitation Woman: Imagine a vibrant, energetic young woman in her mid-20s who's always positive, warm in relationships, and open-minded. She's admired for her looks and personality, enjoys casual social events related to humanity and the environment, and loves children.
    12. Memoir Man: Think of a man in any age range going through a dark phase in life, marked by sorrow and a journey shrouded in mystery. He's quiet, introverted, often dressed in dark attire, and comfortable in dimly lit places. He's like Batman, a hero in the darkness, with misunderstood intentions.
    13. Myths Man: This is a man in his 30s to early 40s with a unique, challenging life filled with twists and turns. He lives for constant challenges, even if they brush with danger. He's hard to forget, and his life is all about embracing challenges, where even peace means death.
    14. Interlude Woman: Imagine a woman in her late 20s to early 30s, mature in her thinking. She challenges the logic of men in debates, can be serious yet caring, and holds a high-ranking government position. She's independent, disciplined, creative, and impactful in her community. She's sociable, creative, and can't sit idle without making a significant impact on those around her. She seeks recognition and can be a bit jealous at times.

    @Psyshimmer 10 месяцев назад +2

    Scents like Opus XV King Blue make me wonder if we sometimes lose the plot a bit as fragrance enjoyers. Perhaps it comes down to bodily chemistry, but I can't think of a single instance where I would be willing to offend those around me by wearing a scent simply because I appreciate the art involved in its creation.

    • @stayfreshproductions
      @stayfreshproductions  10 месяцев назад +2

      What matters most is that you love the scent. No sense in wearing something you’re not comfortable with! So I don’t think offending someone with a stinky fragrance is an issue if you don’t feel good wearing it out in the first place. 😊

    Recently visited the Amouage booth at the mall after being captivated by my sample of Interlude Black Iris, and wow. Just wow. What a house! I didn't love all of them, but every fragrance of theirs kept me drawn in and interested.
    The two that REALLY called out to me and just made me throw my head back with delight were Reflection and.......Enclave! Sampled Enclave specifically because of this video, and as you said, I have no regrets. Even at that staggering retail price, it is simply a wonder to smell. Reflection is similarly infinitely amusing to me. I can't get enough of either of them. Beach Hut Man is next on my decant list!

      @stayfreshproductions It's amazing how subjective skin chemistry makes all this.
      On my skin with IBI, I do get the incense, spices, and a dusty iris. But what I get mostly throughout every wearing is that sandalwood, big time. It gets smoother and creamier into the far drydown; it must be the vanilla joining the chorus.

  • @jimlittle5769
    @jimlittle5769 10 месяцев назад +1

    Amouage is, to me, the most niche of the popular/well known niche houses. Meaning this house usually takes big chances, so for me they either hit it out of the park, of strikeout. Not much in between.
