I need your help if you know about this. I want to buy Beloved, Bracken, Epic, Journey and Beach Hut but I can only find this new boxes so I was eondering is the smell tje same and also the perfomance as older bittles is the only diffrence in the packecing?
@universalfragrance8 ай бұрын
The only two I have compared between new and old packaging are Beach Hut and Overture; thankfully, they are the exact same! I am not sure about the rest but that is a good sign. Some say Jubilation xxv isnt the same but its also hard to compare new bottles vs others that have been aging and macerating for a long period of time. Some may need to sit for a while and others seem to be good to go right away.

I wish i wish I could get into Interlude 53..there is just something thats preventing me from falling in love with it. I like cigars, I like good scotch like you, and I really like amouage house...Everytime I go to Neimans I keep sniffing Interlude 53, and just cant get into it..its $ 520 too..If i were to dish out that amount i always think I d grab PDM Althair instead..

@@universalfragrance I'm hoping I will. I have been keeping an eye out for anyone offering decants. It's probably still a bit early but I'm hoping it's close. I liked the original but I'm one of those people that goes nose-blind to iso-esuper really quickly. After fifteen minutes it was gone. As opposed to something like Interlude or Royal Tobacco that I can still smell on my pillow three days later. I heard that they decreased the iso-esuper to a third of the original. As well as made it darker by amping up the oud and adding a bit of a piney note. I actually heard it compared to Initio OFG with the saffron, which I absolutely love.

I really do find the list to be the most genuine one so far, from someone who seems to actually had time with each fragrance. Every one is pretty much explained but the most controversial ig is silver oud and I really think it deserves that high spot, a smokey wood with a sexy resinous vanilla scent you really gotta wait for it to cooldown which many don’t allow it to
@universalfragrance6 ай бұрын
I really appreciate it!! You are right about Silver Oud, it must be worn fully before a verdict is reached. Since it was my personal favorites list, I had to put it at the top or near it. Certainly not the most popular fragrance but to me along with Interlude 53 and Royal Tobacco it is some of the best work from the house of Amouage. Silver Oud represents the house style beautifully.

@@universalfragrance Ranking Amouage fragrances is tricky, it seems unfair because nearly every one of them could claim the top spot. Currently, I've placed Black Iris at #1. It has a darker vibe, contrasting with the brighter Interlude OG and Extrait 53. I agree, Interlude 53 is a powerhouse in terms of strength. I wear OG and Extrait on winter mornings, while Black Iris is my choice for evening nights throughout the year. Notably, there's no significant difference between the three, except that Extrait 53 and Black Iris share subtle nuances, then making Black Iris like "wearable version." Happy holidays to you too!
