You've never heard of Henri Jacques Parfums?? Love that part, I only have one from HJ Dentelle Au Coeur, didn't think it would be my thing but it was a recommendation from a trusted nose and I'm glad I did... it's wonderful in what it does, given time to bloom and enjoy from then on. An ex of mine I remember while shopping in Paris when she set eyes on an HJ it always illiceted an 'Ooh la la'. They had so many back then I can't remember which one I bought for her but it was beautiful as was the bottle. And what fantastic unboxings, you must be stoked. Can't wait to hear you take on those. I'm off to another auction tomorrow and I've seen in the catalogue something that's caught my attention, will report back.
Congrats on obtaining one of the grails from that collection. I'm not quite done with the vid yet, but wanted to mention that the collar might have come off when you pulled the cap. If you look inside the cap, you'll probably find a piece of the collar that goes around the sprayer. Okay back to vid...
The whole sprayer came off when I tried to open the cap & look at it again (lucky I didnt spill it everywhere ☹️) Russian Adam was instantly kind enough to tell me he will send me a new cap & sprayer... just going to put it back and not touch it until the new equipment arrives 🙏🏻
@@RamseytheRam So awesome to be able to ask RA for some spare parts lol Love it! Enjoy it - that's one that got away from me. Can't wait to hear you talk about it soon!
Nice of Adam. I remember a lot of people mentioning that he can’t make it again. I’ve bothered him so many times about Santal galore and if he would make it again lol. But no luck… so far. Unfortunately the perfumes are thick and the materials start to thicken and the sprayers some times clog up. I haven’t had that issue thankfully, but I hear Adam always takes care of it by sending replacement atomizers. So customer service is great.
Hey Ram! This is a super fascinating review! I really appreciate how you’re able to to think/talk about the daily routine, how it wears differently, etc. That’s important info. most don’t talk about. Great Great review! 🙏 ps - The Grand 🐏🦆 Unified Theory: terpenes. While you both have definite personal styles & tastes in fragrance that are different & distinct, you both overlap & share a love of terpenes. That’s it. Final edit.
Thank you as you are an official perfume God Woman of Channel Ramsey... I need to get shirts made... BTW I wore Film Noir & Plum in Cognac to bed a few days back and wow they are both amazing frags... the plum and Cognac starts a little sweet and I went ohhh nooo and then about half and hour maybe 45 minutes in it makes a course correction and from then on out its just amazing 😍
Wow ya got it ,Russian Oud ,I’m delighted for you it’s a rarity indeed ,and what a generous bonus Tygerlust I really enjoy it and I know you will also ,oops another rabbit hole tread lightly brother haha. O lord the game is afoot it never ends Watson . Look forward to you thoughts on Russian Oud, and then your journey into the world of E.O. 👍🙏✌️
I have an early impression of Russian Oud on my Channel already from a decant one of my perfume God People sent me within the first few months of my channel starting (actually I think that is how Russian Adam found me in the first place!) BUT Ensar oud is another Rabit Hole indeed ... I dont have the wallet to go down that rabbit hole 😂🐰
@@RamseytheRam oh yes of course,now I remember,my bad haha, and I definitely hear ya on the E.O rabbit hole for sure , First rule of fight club , we don’t have to own every fragrance that comes into our cage lol 😂
I recommend the sultan pasha sample set. Actually, I don’t think they have encens chypre anymore. Which is by far my favorite. Henry Jacques is hard to sample too… so many I want to try… And tigerlust i honestly didn’t really like. I smelt it years ago but I remember it being really badly blended? Flat? Muddy? Wish I never lost my sample
Really??!! 👀 I cant wait to wear it... maybe tomorrow... I would love to smell all of Sultan Pasha's work but to be honest I just dont have the funds right now to spend on Ensar oud like I would like to... I could easily see falling into the rabbit hole 🐰 and all of a sudden you are 5 grand in with no end in sight😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam but I saw Ensar’s $2000 perfumes are on sale for 9% off! Steal of a deal! Be there or be square. He’s got that Christi Meshell perpetual sale thing going on, hey there’s an idea for an interview, house of matriarch
Just additional 🙂When I wear Blu Vanila , I have a lot of complements, so it gives pleasure to others, but of course much more for the person who wear🌺
Thank you. It is very honest review. I love HJ and yes, mostly it is just personal passion. No rational may be. Btw, they have now in spray some version of oils, but I still on the old version. They smell slightly different. Very special perfumes...unique. I try to buy also EO and other masters creation. My next step😍
They are amazing. I have 6 of them and lots of samples. I once went to Harods and visited their store and got loads of blotters. Just yesterday I put them in a bag and hung them in my closet.
@@RamseytheRam stour reviews are good always. After reviewing a few thousand perfumes from past and present I believe HJ is very good. They are really very nice French perfumery. They are for a specific audience and are very expensive and good.
Try the sample AMOUAGE set of their Attars. I love VANILLA BARKA, there’s a Parfum called VANAGLORIA which is similar to it. And now they’ve made BABYCAT Oh and try some AARON TERRANCE HUGHES
I have samples of pretty much all the ATH ... they are okay 🤷♂️ I also have an Amouage Attar I plan on talking about on the channel soon. Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Chypre >>> Fougere for me too. Always. This review is bomb. I’ve refrained from getting into Henry jacques for the most part because of the fear of drowning myself in debt. They do have spray versions for almost all of their oils. And it’s the same as what they charge for the 15 ml oil version. Though their quality is great, I don’t think there is “uniqueness’ to some of their offerings (from what I’ve smelled so far). I am planning on smelling more of their perfumes after which I will have my final verdict on this house.
Awesome video, man! I love the honesty. And as someone new to fragrances I don't understand brands like this or some of the Clive Christian that don't seem to be doing 'enough' or different enough or have their own identity to warrant the price. Especially when there are artists like Russian Adam and Ensar Oud and Sultan Pasha etc. who offer more of an experience and identity in perfume than these luxury brands do. That being said, I've never actually had the chance to smell Areej Le Dore or Ensar Oud, because they're - for the time being - still way out of my price range. I would be interested if you could make a video or two where you sort of provide alternatives to Ensar Oud or Areej Le Dore at a lower price. or maybe some fragrances that give you a similar experience and olfactory journey as those two brands give you. Kind of like a stepping stone towards Areej and Ensar and brands like that. Hearing your take on that would be awesome, because you've smelled a lot more than many people, I think! Anyway, just a thought. Thanks again for all the videos! Been devouring them daily!
Thank you for the support and kind words and to be honest I dont think there is a brand that can compete with Areej le Dore or Ensar Oud.... I think Russian Adams pricing is much more consumer friendly than Sultan Pasha but you are correct to put them on the mountain top as very few brands on Earth compete with the experience they provide you. You can put Bortnikoff on that list along with Papillon. Salome and Anubis are are probably two of the best bang for your buck dollar wise even though they are expensive Liz Moores pricing is very reasonable ..unfortunately this is an expensive hobby but over the years as you pick your spots your collection will grow 🤩 Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Just found your channel a week or so ago.. love your content. You’re so real and genuine. I think you mean turmeric not tarragon. Tarragon is a green herb, turmeric is a deep yellow/orange root often in powder. Anyway thank you for such great vids.
It was the only word I could think of at the time but I think it coveys what I mean... as long as these Henry Jacques frags dont try and arm themselves we should be good to go 🔫 😂😂😂

You can make it a spray if you want. Just add perfumers alcohol and let it homogenize for a week.
Thanks Pyro.. appreciate you watching & commenting 🍻
You just need to get the Les Brumes editions which are spray if you prefer that. I actually prefer them most of the time.
Nice thanks so much for sharing my friend 😊
Did you considering more of HJ now when you are more familiar with attars and oils? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Cheers!
I have not ... but I have so many videos I want to do and they are on the never ending video list lol
It will happen one day 💪🐏

@@RamseytheRam stour reviews are good always. After reviewing a few thousand perfumes from past and present I believe HJ is very good.
They are really very nice French perfumery. They are for a specific audience and are very expensive and good.
They came up with dry run perfumes and just the holder is insane like 25k to 50k pounds.
Once I dab it on my skin it’s creates a cloud around you. Amazing and smooth and enchanting.
My wife has Marvelous and I have 5 good ones. I did not buy any Ouds.
Hello.Tell me, how much does a small bottle from Henri Jacques cost? Thank you in advance
Depends on the fragrance... but it's not uncommon to see 750 to 3 grand
@@RamseytheRam Thanks! Did I mean the sample in the video? I just want to get to know these spirits better.

I’ve sampled a few. Safe, perfectly decent perfumes. But nothing special at all, and at those price points it just feels like a familiar niche scam.
Yup agreed... I don't own any for that exact reason 🙏🙏🙏
