Another Masterpiece! Areej Le Dore Inverno Russo - A deep cut

[@areejledoreperfumes]

Thank you for your lovely take on it. Truly appreciate it. In the second collection i made about 100+ bottles of each perfume. Oud Picante was the most popular and sold out first. Then was Atlantic Ambergris I believe. Inverno Russo and Flux de Fluer were 2 least popular ones. However, at the time Inverno Russo was my personal favorite. Have to disagree with you about the saying that i could use better ingredients back then due to a more limited batches and as we grow we could not use such a high caliber of ingredients. This is actually the opposite. Now we can use kinam and some other extremely costly distillations of saffron, musk and the likes that i could not even dream about back then. Ofcourse when a certain ingredient is extremely rare like most in our Antiquity perfume for example then its number of bottles is tight to it and nothing much can be done...

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Thank you so much for this answer. Early on I proposed these in question forms on the videos, LOL. I will do that going forward when I have curiosities. You have no idea how much I appreciate you sharing this. But IMO the technicality in this vs. Agar De Noir is night and day. The way the powder, oud, and musk work together in this are brilliant. Where your newest one explodes after the opening. That's honestly the comparison I was going after without mentioning it. I hope to see you work with powder and strong oud like this in the future. Yes Antiquity is a love of mine as well.

Adam. Please remake this along with Atlantic Ambergris and Fleux de Fleur in small numbers. Please. Even if there'll be variation from the classic releases. We need this. A lot of people found out late about Areej. Maybe you could release one of these with the new releases coming so that you’re not tied to releasing all three at once; this way you get out your new releases and then we get the new and the old. Tandem then you do the same for the next two new releases. I must thank you for remaking Ottoman Empire. That was greatly appreciated and people will appreciate you remaking other classics. Well done on the new bottles, they were all stunning. The workmanship was remarkable; I was observing the Agar de Noir bottle, everything lines up impeccably. The transition from the cap to bottle is flawless. Well done sir, well done.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Russian Adam , Kinam . I hope that will be soon. Oh, have you thought of AfterPay . Just asking.

[@areejledoreperfumes]

@@TherapeuticFragrance happy to hear you love Antiquity. I think it was the most beloved from that collection for me. It then inspired almost entire last collection. I guess aging hugely contributed to Inverno Russo notes merging together so well. We should smell Agar de Noit in 3 years, pretty sure it will be amazing and notes will marry even more.

[@areejledoreperfumes]

@Brady Thank you. Happy you like it. Not remember now, less then 500 may be 300+

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Awesome review. Thank you.

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Really appreciate it Johmathan!

[@korakatar7921]

Indeed i am lucky to have this one! 😍

[@itskyyuuuu]

Oz is the man!! He has helped me out alot recently. I can't thank him enough. And I look forward to paying it forward to the next person as our particular corner of the fragrance community grows. When is a huaka'i video coming?

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Yes Oz is, this juice is very valuable.

[@phishky]

Review it after I grab a bottle. Unreal juice

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

LOL don't do it, let's get a version two instead :)

[@phishky]

@@TherapeuticFragrance Hah! I was referring to Huaka’i. But if I can find a bottle of Flux de Fleur, the piggy bank gets broke.

[@qaidikramuddin]

Adam's work is something else. The man puts everything into making these perfumes and it shows in the final result including the packaging. They are also so affordable. I can’t wrap my head around this. Thank you for putting out the video, as sad as some of us are that we came late to Areej.

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Agreed I have learned so much from him it's crazy. But still don't know how he does what he does.

[@qaidikramuddin]

@@TherapeuticFragrance He’s an enigma.

Great video

[@stevenconde]

I got in on it early and was lucky enough to get a bottle. It didn't start out the way you smell it now. It was rough and musky but, with time, it has aged beautifully. I will venture to say that grandenia will age beautifully as well. Russian Adam has a way of crafting his blends so that they will mature in the bottle and get better and better with time. This is what I have observed with all of the ones that I have. I think that in ten years time Inverno Russo will be ten times better than it is now. I'm using my sprays judiciously. Thanks for giving us your take on this masterpiece.

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Hey Steven. Agreed on Russo getting better in ten years. I think Grandenia won't see much improvement as it is already an aged perfume. It will improve ever so slightly but for the first time in my journey this was a great chance at buying aged perfume without doing it yourself. I love that so many people care for Grandenia were just all different. I need a little more contrast for my tastes.

[@RyzFragz34]

Wish I had a bottle of this beauty. Great review as always:)

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

You and me Both!

[@brenlynch4811]

So late to the fragrance community myself missed all the huge originals from the oud masters,Adam being my biggest regret picked up at War and peace ll missed antiquity and all before have 6th collection complete as I heard yourself and Nikhal,exotic scents make some comparable nods to former greats anyway looking forward never back I feel Adam may placate his older customers and elate his newer ones by doing some homage offerings down the road he is a super fair and caring chap who always takes his fans wishes to heart great vid B loved Adams imput.see brother you now know you are someone of whom the top creators in this field have their little red bells on for your latest uploads boom 💥 peace and blessings my friend 🇮🇪🙏🙏🇺🇸

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Thanks Friend. At least your along now. I see many more to come.

[@geoffreywrickly7679]

Dude 100% great review. Really nailed every facet. One interesting thing. This sucker was a POWDER BOMB when I first got my hands on it. I went back to it after a year and it was basically exactly what you just laid out(maybe slightly less hindi punch in my experience but I think I get a little desensitized since my girl always tells me the Hindi is so much stronger than it seems to me). Makes me wonder if Grandenia will be in this ballpark in a year or two of aging. Already War & Peace 1 has toned down the powder and let the leather come out. So cool what aging does to these perfumes with high natural content.

Absolutely brother.

[@Zyklus360]

You caught a like and like from the Devil 30 Secs into the video!! Very impressive my friend!!

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Thanks for the visit brother. Did you film this weekend?

[@terrybojax456]

Just thought that I would let you know that your name came up in a stream.....consensus was that you and your content was/is top notch....stream was Ramsey Fragrance.

[@andrewgadd8439]

I know how you feel about wishing you couldn’t even smell it because you can’t have it. But yes I agree I have some 1 ml samples and I’m happy I have them. Great review

[@luisherrera5191]

Amazing juice but too expensive, good review my friend

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Yes don't buy in the aftermarket, but if you did buy it originally it's worth over five times as much.

[@Skeletor4Prez]

Love your review, as always Brandon. However, I'm telling you, you need to go back and spend more time with Grandenia (and probably Agar de Noir). They just keep getting better with a little age.

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

I will spray Grandenia again someday, but it is already pretty aged. One of the things I liked about the sixth collection was it gave us a chance to buy already aged perfume and see the difference. I just don't see the powder ever changing much. Just not for me I need something mean like Oud in Russo here to contrast it. Personal preference.

[@MakingaStink]

Why did you smell this? You knew you'd regret it! Also, why did I watch this, I now regret it! Ugh! -Chris

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

The real reason is.... I hope we get version two. Only a few creation show off the Hindi Funk and white floral powder without either one winning the battle. Powder lovers would gravitate towards an Agar De Noir, while Funk lover to Malik al Taif or possibly Oud Luwak. I personally want it right here in the middle. Hard to do but I have a feeling we will all see it again. This and Atlantic would be my top two requested remakes not just cause I don't have them, LOL. They rival the great Ottoman as well.

[@MakingaStink]

@@TherapeuticFragrance Seeing some of Russian Adam's raw ingredient porn on instagram and discussions on his latest KZbin posts has me VERY excited for whatever is next! -Chris

[@itskyyuuuu]

@@MakingaStink ingredient porn 😂 brilliant

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

All of us yes #ingredientporn @makingastink please keep that going on IG. Great phrase you did there😂

[@JohmathanBSwift]

I have about 9 mls left. Not bragging . I also have Ottoman Empire FB . About 15 mls of Oud Zen left , and about 13 mls of Siberian Musk . Oud Picante , FB unopened . I'll stop there. I had a bit of difficulty with Inverno Russo at first , but seeing you enjoy all the Stink , I don't think you would have a problem at all. Ummm, keep a look out on Basenotes . Some of these earlier releases do pop up. Some just were. The FB's were selling for $550.

[@vanglorious854]

Russian Adam was in Rare Form when he created this Masterpiece. Kinda like Kanye West before the Kardashian/Yeezy Phase...

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

I was blown away by this. So fortunate to have tried.

[@Puddycat00]

The synthetic civet ruined this fragrance. It’s a mess. It’s as if he threw in everything but the kitchen sink, it’s bad. This is one of his worst.

[@justaddlight]

3 words. Man oh man. 2 words?

[@TherapeuticFragrance]

Will go with three and it had to be done. Hopefully it was all for a second version.
