Yeeeah, I’ve never smelled any Xerjoff in previous presentation bottles, but my AII is also an absolute beast, it fills all of my fist floor from 1-2 sprays. Bought it in 2019.
@@juliscent yea the vintage A2 Is overkill. I own the vintage Richwood also and the current formulation and the vibrate blows the current formulation out of the water. Vintage lasts easily 24 on skin and on clothes you have to wash it a few times to get it off. It was so powerful before the reformulation.
Malesia is really beautiful and very interesting. It would be my next purchase from Xerjoff. I wish it projected and lasted more. I also really enjoy Alexandria Orientale 👌
@@juliscent Thanks for the awesome video, as always it was a joy watching it multiple times. I like how both of you interact and get engaged in the review with valuable comments and reflections on your personal journey and experience with the perfumes. A quick follow up question: if they qualify to be on this list, where would you place both Dusita Montri and Oudh Infini in this list?
@@AhmadKholaif Thank you so much for watching us and great kind words, we really appreciate that ❤️🤗 I have a samples of Montri and Oudh Infini. I still haven’t unboxed my bottle of Oudh Infini, I wear it from time to time from my 6 samples 😄 Oudh Infini is one of the most challenging fragrances I have ever smelled, but it also has a beautiful musky rose smell in the dry down. Montri is like more wearable, less intriguing, watered down version of Oudh Infini. I would place Oudh Infini somewhere around 15-20 place for it’s creativity and quality.
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting 🙏 If we had a bottle of The Night it would be in this list close to The Spirit of Dubai Oud. To my nose The Night and Triad smells different. Triad had no barnyard in it, but has some beautiful funk from natural Oud. Roses in Triad are far more superior than in The Night. The Night has leather smell which I enjoy, but Triad doesn’t. I would pick any day Triad over The Night not considering the prices. I enjoy The Night a lot and want a bottle of it, but Triad is pure LOVE ❤️
Thanks for watching and your thoughts 👌 Agree, they have a lot of similarities in Oud and rose notes, but in Oud Maximus there’s a bit more going on. Both are fantastic and worth having in collection. I would put Oud Maximus Autumn’19 in top 5 of my absolute favorite fragrances of all time, adore it ❤️
Very nice, love the idea of a specific type of list like this and with so many selections, so well defined. I haven't tried Ouds yet, but this will be my guide. I hope you guys do other videos like this with maybe Blues or Greens or other types. Please keep the videos coming!
@@juliscent I always look forward to your videos especially when you told me that you are able to pick which fragrances you talk about. Merry Christmas to you both 🎄
hello, first of all I want to compliment your RUclips channel, I really like your channel. Oud Maximus Bortnikoff and Dead Of Night Strange Love NYC, which of the mentioned perfumes perform better.GRAZIE MILE.
Hello, thanks a lot for appreciating our reviews 🙏 Both of them are very long lasting. Projection and sillage are good, but not beast mode. They perform quite similar I would say. Both are amazing, but I slightly prefer Oud Maximus for more oud in the base. Dead of Night has more amazing white florals though. Happy New Year 2023 🎄🎉
@@juliscent My current favourites are: Aaron Terence Hughes- Onyx Extreme Ajmal- Amir Two ALD- Ottoman Empire II Bortnikoff- Lao Oud Centauri- OM Ensar- Homeros SQ Hikayat Fragrances- Adiratna Utara Katana- Fleur De Oud Meleg- Mushin Japanese Incense UCCA- Kutai Royal 😊
What an interesting list. We’ve smelled only 2 of them, ALD and Bortnikoff. And heard about ATH and Peter’s Centauri, both are great guys, watch their reviews. Need to check the rest compositions 🔥 Happy New Year 2023 🎄🎉
Yes, Oud Silk Mood Extrait is my second favorite from Kurkdjian ouds and it’s amazing, I wish I had a bottle of it. I prefer Oud Extrait a bit more. Julia’s favorite is Oud Satin Mood EDP/Extrait. Try also Xerjoff Fars, it’s very beautiful. Dmitry.
I love oud sinharaja as well. It is pure floral, which usually doesn't interest me, but it's done in a sort of soapy? and sponge cakey? way. Is it the frangipani that makes it smell rounded and sweet spongy? I never smelled frangipani before. It is one bottle i wish to own from bortnikoff.
Thank you for the comment, Bryan. I have never smelled frangipani flowers in nature. In the perfume compositions in smells like exotic, tropical sweet yellow floral, very beautiful and addictive. I think Oud Sinharaja is the most feminine Bortnikoff fragrance, but I love to wear it from my small sample. The florals are gorgeous here, I don’t get too much oud. Dmitry makes his citrus-floral compositions like no other, he’s the real master of this blends. The same I can say about Citrus-Floral-Musky Musk Cologne, it’s absolutely stunning 😍 Frangipani -> Odor profile: A tropical floral fruity note with a citrus nuance.
No, we haven’t tried Zanzibar/Najaf, Indochine, Alexandria Imperiale, other fragrances from Oud Stars we’ve tried. I haven’t seen or heard anything about Alexandria I, if there was such fragrance. I heard only that in the first version/s of Alexandria there was used more old Oud oils than in current Alexandria II.
What are your thoughts on Ensar Oud fragrances? I have Crime and Punishment but it isn't to my liking...however the quality of the ingredients are exceptional.
Hello, thanks for the comment . Unfortunately, we haven’t smelled any Ensar Oud fragrance. They’re so expensive. I saw 1 ml samples for 48€ and thought that it’s criminally expensive 😆 Heard a lot of great things about Ensar and wanted to try them for many years.
They are not even consider ouds 😅 if there's any oud there's probably something like .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% oud in them. Zero challenging
@@pullingthestrings5233 hmmm 🤔 you’re wrong i think you didn’t smell them nor owned any of them before. Roja uses the finest raw materials + he learned the use and distillation of Oud from the masters who used the Oud for centuries (Middle Easterners) so logically he does uses Oud oils in his perfumes even the color does indicates the usage of Oud oils (although the color could be just an artificial color but still many perfumes when they contain a raw material such as Amber & Oud the color of the fragrance becomes much darker than normal)
@@SinenenPoika-su8ld i own both Aoud and amber aoud. I don't get any oud at all. It might be hidden in there but in my book those are not considered oud fragrances. You have obviously never smelled what a true oud is. Try sniffing Frederic Malle the night and you will know what I'm talking about.
@@pullingthestrings5233 ok maybe you don’t notice it and consider it in “your book” not an Oud perfume but there is Oud that’s just the fact. Also I’m Middle Eastern so im very familiar with such exotic scent (Oud, Ambergris & real deer musk) it’s our tradition to use them every Friday (it’s like a mandatory thing) along with every use. Habibi come to Arabian Gulf states (UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia etc) to sense the real exotic scents.
Hello 👋 From Roja Aoud fragrances we’ve tried only Amber Aoud and Musk Aoud. I really enjoy Amber Aoud, but I have 2 bottles of Moresque Emiro which is quite similar to it and for less price. I almost don’t get any Oud smell from them both, but they’re amazing floral oriental compositions. Musk Aoud I also liked from the blotter, but less than Amber Aoud. I wish I could smell Roja’s Persian Gulf Aoud perfumes (Kuwait; UAE …) I have bought a bottle of Sweetie Aoud after this video. We really enjoy it, Julija wants my bottle 😁 Sweetie Aoud is about Croissants 🥐 and not about real ouds like from Areej le Doré or Bortnikoff. Sweetie Aoud is an amazing woody gourmand fragrance, a real pleasure to wear it. I have 3g of pure natural Oud oil bought in Istanbul and it smells more closer to Areej le Doré The History of Indian Oud, it’s fermented, animalic, barnyardy, slightly sweet, leathery and I enjoy it a lot. Dmitry
Maybe it comes from the honey note? Honey in some compositions can smell kinda pissy. I don’t get much Oud in Mamluk, it’s a honey fragrance to me more. Ceylon still is my favorite and blows my socks off the feet, Mamluk doesn’t do that. Music of the night now -> Captain Jack - Captain Jack (1995). OMG I wanna dance all night, it’s 3:18 a.m. now 😁
@juliscent I didn't buy Ceylon bc it was too expensive at the time. I'll perhaps look into getting it sometime next year or so. But my next xerjoff I want to get is MV augusta
@@bryanryan4504 Try Ceylon on skin before buying, it’s very expensive. We haven’t tried MV Agusta, notes look great in this leather fragrance. I love good leather perfumes. I’m thinking about Clive Christian C for men. Have you tried Xerjoff Toni Iommi? Many people say it’s amazing, but we haven’t smelled it.

Hello, Safari Extreme is a beautiful fragrance. Powerful, elegant and smells middle eastern. Amazing woody floral composition. It was on No 6 in our Top20 fall list 2022. Longevity is great. It’s very enjoyable and feels special. Happy New Year 2023 🎉🎄🎊
Thanks for watching. We enjoy these fragrances. If FdB and MFK say they have some natural Oud in their fragrances we’ve decided to put them in this list. Watch top5 fragrances, they must have large amounts of natural Oud oils in them 👌
A potentially very interesting topic, but ... too downloadable ... I understand that the presenters and flames on the TV are more important than the smells themselves ... the framing of the film indicates that. Why is there everything in the frame, only not the perfume presented in the film...? Why can't i see them...? Thank you for a great topic.. I will ask for a better presentation =) .... Regards. 🙂
If the camera is brought down lower and aimed forward or up slightly they should be able to get the products and the background in the shot. Next time! :)
Hello, Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 We’ve decided not to show all the perfumes on the table in this list. You can watch our separate reviews on the fragrances with a full detailed presentation upclose.
I prefer to not see the fragrances before they are announced anyway. It creates a level of mystery. It’s not like they aren’t showing the bottles when they reveal what they are. I think it’s better to not see the bottles the whole time.
I own the vintage Alexandria Il in the square bottles and omg that stuff completely fills a warehouse. EXTREMELY BEAST MODE.

@@pullingthestrings5233 You’re so lucky to have them in original formulation. Would love to smell Richwood from 2010 bottle.
