This is why i love your channel... you are blunt & completely honest. There's no beating around the Bush with you. Not worried about giving your honest opinion in fear of losing free bottles... In fact, you shy away from freebies and now im starting to understand why. Excellent review & very informative... thanks for saving me a bundle
The Ardent is that thang thang to me and I get awesome performance and have had lots of compliments. I think fragrances are subjective and this is just my opinion and many others that have smelled it on me!
I've got a few of these, only briefly smelled my samples though. The one that stuck out was "Intense" it literally changed my opinion of Honey in fragrances, it's so beautiful. Cool review Mr! :)
+ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I don't like to bash fragrances.. but I was really disappointed with these! The full bottle I do own is called Ablaze, but it smells similar to Nasomatto - Hindu Grass, so it's another one that's not all that original
+Skot Isenor Cheers bud! I tried to like them... but they're either really weak performance, or copying another scent.. so i can't really be positive on them, I've been disappointed to be honest, because I love the bottle designs. It would be nice to own a few more.. they're just not worth buying. (at least these 6)
Overpriced. You pay for the packaging, not the scent. And even the packaging can't be that expensive when ordering in big amounts. Thanks for your honest review, now "expose" Roja Parfums, another overpriced house.
Oh, you made a big miss on the Imperial, don't know if your sample was flat but Imperial is a beast that lasts for 12+h with a massive projection. I own both Imperial and More Than Words and I can confirm the similarities between these two but in no way are they that similar , they are very much different in the dry down. Imperial is more a rosey oud where More Than Words is more of a fruity oud. Having said that, different skins, different performance. Would love to get your thoughts on Mayfair (one of my favorites from the line). Cheers
I have both also , more than words is by far longer lasting , pretty much til you wash it off yourself ..on clothes it survived three washes ... imperial is no slouch tho and yes it is more rose/lavander/oud but also fruity , sort of rasberry like
A perfume is very personal, and you may like or not, but i can’t understand why you give a more positive review for example on a tom ford that is pure sinthetic over a bodicea. Really can’t get it
I can't do one for Roja... I know too much about him, and I'd get a lot of hate comments from people if I said it in a video. And I'd probably get sued by Roger.
Never smelled any of the these but I recently bought Nemer only because I like it and on their website you can pick an additional 50ml bottle for free. Without this promotion the price is to much. My thought is you pay for the natural ingredients not the longevity or projection. I personally don’t want any fragrance that last on my skin for over 8 hours. Remember the skin is the largest organ of the body and some of ingredients are absorbed into the body through our skin. Stronger isn’t always better for us.
boadicea is a mixed house in terms of quality. they are some incredible gems that are beastly. try get samples of victory ( leather scent) and blue sapphire, almas legend and tried 2 from ruby collection that were sweet but very sexy scents
I get Ardent today and longevity is max 2h!!! First able I think this fake from Harrods but then I start listening some videos about that perfume and yes this is sad to me because I think perfumes from boots is better and smells longer then Boadicea the victorious never again spend my money on this house never bullshit
I feel like you’re just hating on this house. Clearly the price point is unapproachable for many people, but I think that most of their fragrances are pleasing.
Is is significant to have a developed nose reviewing these expensive perfumes, this way we more inexperienced people dont become easily fool. Is Ardent deer musk or botanical must please? Narciso Rodrigues fragances have botanical musk not animal which it is disappointing.
really no commercial perfume ever uses real deer musk anymore.. it's all synthetic musk, or naturally derived from plants with isolates, only artisan perfumers outside of the EU that don't have to follow legal perfume restrictions, might occasionally use real musk from the musk deer, brands like Ensar Oud and Areej le Dore, it's also heavily restricted legally in purchasing it for use in perfume, so they have to buy them from hunters in Russia.

I've owned Ardent for about 3 years now and (thankfully) still enjoy it.

Some fragrances deserve a bashing haha. :)
excellent review. concise yet all the details we hope for in a review
+Isa1980 cheers!
Love the honesty. Great review

I don't talk about Roja... it gets me in trouble
have you heard of scentlibrary.co.uk ? they sell alternatives which are very close to the original
@@FragranceView lmaooo why is that bro
I was hoping you'd review Nemer.
Imperial a combo rose/oud?. I can't find the rose in the foreground. The best of the brand to me. Try from the bottle directly

@@matttopcat9677 Agreed on the lavander. After more wearing I found it to have a considerable aromatic side - not caught in this review of it.
Was very helpful! Appreciate! 🤩
Angelic is the bomb cologne to wear. It'll run you about $550 and it lasts about 6-7 hours.

very honest reviews, do you have any beast mode mens perfume?
If I’m foolish enough to pay $800 for a bottle, it better last 72 hours longevity.. lol
awesome video .sir please make video like this about roja
I can't do one for Roja... I know too much about him, and I'd get a lot of hate comments from people if I said it in a video. And I'd probably get sued by Roger.
Curious minds (me) would like to know. please email me @ whitetrump@gmail.com. Much appreciated.
No blue saphhire? Imperial? You missed some.of their bigger ones IMO appreciate your review though.

good review !!
+Yann Olivier Thanks!
boadicea is a mixed house in terms of quality. they are some incredible gems that are beastly. try get samples of victory ( leather scent) and blue sapphire, almas legend and tried 2 from ruby collection that were sweet but very sexy scents
I tested another 12 since.. they were not very good either, I kind of gave up on the house to be honest!!
thank you so much
👍👍👍
Cheers
Damn man you purchased 6 bottles at once. What was the price of that haul? I'd say 4 or 5 grand
No, I reviewed from sample sets
basenote:
Unicorn Farts!!!
Copy Cat!!!
Disappointment!!!
bwwwhahahahaha, its funny man!!
;)
Please do a review on Complex by Boadicea.
Tq.
+KESHWEAN NAIR I'll have a look to see if I have a sample of it... I 've got about 30 of them
#FragranceView, Looking forward to it.
I get Ardent today and longevity is max 2h!!! First able I think this fake from Harrods but then I start listening some videos about that perfume and yes this is sad to me because I think perfumes from boots is better and smells longer then Boadicea the victorious never again spend my money on this house never bullshit
I am sorry, that sucks..
I can't wait to try hanuman and valiant. And green sapphire. This is another brand I'm trying to explore. Unicorn farts hahaha
I should add more humour like that in my newer videos sometimes
@@FragranceView you should. And not even mention your doing it. I got quite the laugh
Peter, can I have your opinion on Blue Sapphire by Boadicea? It wasn't part of your sampling.
Not smelled it sorry buddy
I'm very sure you mixed up imperiale with something else. imperiale has zero similarity to rose d'arabie. It's not a rose oud combo either
maybe.. it was a long time ago when I filmed the video
FragranceView I noticed that the card has the fragrance name but the vial doesn't. they can easily get mixed up.
I'll have to keep an eye on that in future.. thanks for pointing it out
I feel like you’re just hating on this house. Clearly the price point is unapproachable for many people, but I think that most of their fragrances are pleasing.
They've got a deal on at the moment buy a 100ml bottle and get a free 50ml
unicorn farts!! loooooooool
lol
