So I burned down my house and now I don't have to think about it. It's called thinking. And I don't know what that is.

Ahahaha fragalance!!! I love your humor. How have I not discovered your channel long ago. KZbins stupid algorithm. But I’m here now and I really appreciate your content. This video is very important especially because I am struggling with which ones to buy tomorrow. If I can only afford two or 3 then I need to be very careful. This is one time I wish my credit cards weren’t maxed out. Coz I would love to buy all 7. I buy perfume for myself to enjoy, not to re sell. And this is why Russian Adam keeps the prices down so more ppl can enjoy beautiful perfumery. He’s said it angers him too when ppl buy up a lot of bottles just to resell for double and triple the price.
@RamseytheRam Жыл бұрын
If you think about the open mkt pricing that folks are willing to pay double or tripple it actually means thats what they are inherently worth ... we are just blessed Russian adam is keeping a ceiling on the price for us.. he could ask more and I know people would pay it in a heart beat... plus since he lives in Indonesia his costs are low 😊

What a gorgeous video.Russian Adam is a genius.. brother Ramsey I know you like Indian oud,Ajmal had a 3ml oud called saif al hind,the best natural oud the most animalic and to me ajmal’s oud is one of the best in the game,I fortunately have 4 bottles of those I would love to send you one so you can experience it,I can take it to brother Anooj’s store when I’m back to Canada,of course if he doesn’t mind including it in your next purchase..fabulous reviews

@@zaindotm4094 brother I don’t think it’s easy to get in North America,the ajmal website has it but I’m not sure if they ship worldwide,if you can’t find any I don’t mind sending you one for free if you really like Indian oud.I’ve paid $300 Canadian for each even though it’s only around $200 CAD on their website.but trust me that quality if it was coming from any other brand they would be charioting over $1500 per 3ml. few months back I ordered 3ml of what was suppose to be a 120 year old wild indian oud from kalka ,order it from a very known and trusted brand,it smelled amazing but when I sent it to the lab I usually deal with in Montreal,it came back that it contains less than 25% of real vintage wild oud and I don’t even know if it’s kalkassi.cheers

Fragalance. Had to chuckle a little. Russian Adam made a whopping 1000 sample sets. Wow. Then he will be doing his single-bottle release a few weeks out from today, the sample set launch. That's a lot of work, but we will be able to choose which bottles we want, plus it will help cut into those scalper's profits. Russian Adam has to be one of the best things that have happened in the perfume world. I am so happy that the both of you collaborate. Hint hint nudge nudge. I'm interested in Mysore Incenza, and also Al Majmua as you, and Malik al Motia. edit. Just ordered a sample set. Will get decants and partials, plus a FB or two.

Hi Ramsey, I blind ordered Al Majmua from Areej a few days ago. It is available for $190. Your review has spoken most positively from the few I watched.. So looking forward to it. He is an artist. I like his work quite a bit more than even Bortnikoff. The Gothic vib of some of his frags like Grandinia are transportive.

@gedvalaitis48777 ай бұрын
Hi Ramsey, My Al Majmua came in. Yeah, I like it. It's a bit soft, as I lost my sense of smell from covid 2 years ago. It's only 80% back. So softer frags I struggle to pick up nuances. I do love a great green herbal, which this is. My #1 green herbal frag is Dior Granville. This reminded me of Granville, but it's more woody. Also reminded me in the open of French Lover, galbanum, Vetiver, and Florentine Iris. I think in the warm weather it will shine brighter for me. It's quite different from the other 2 Areej frags I have, Siberian Musk and Grandinia. I think I'm satisfied, will be enough Areej, except "Antiquity" really interests me. I love how Grandinia transports me to an old time, Gothic. I heard Antiquity does that as well.

Diaghilev is a match when I listen classical music (it's a vintage music), so it would be great to wear him during the opera Carmen ! And of course, Jubilation for women is another rich chypre. I like that Diaghilev's projection isn't huge and the longevity is ! Maybe Aventus as a fruty chypre was great in 2010. , but for me, Diaghilev is better.

I’d love to buy a bottle or decant but nobody will ever sell any . I guess u got lucky . I can’t wait til the Areej fragrances drop tomorrow . I can’t afford to buy all 7. But maybe 2.

Sound lovely, that image of after the first rains certainly sparks an emotion in me. Sure I've seen the kids and women run outside and dance while laughing as the rain falls while I was in the Middle East. Only thing is any cause for celebration would be followed by males of various ages get their firearms out and shoot wildly in the air! Beirut....yep Uzi's at the ready shooting up in the air while driving a pick up truck.... because it's raining. Baghdad, Kalashnikovs rapid firing in the sky whilst dancing.... because it's raining. Sana'a whatever make of sub machine firing wildly in all directions followed by my knife is bigger than yours! All because it was raining. Give me heavy rain after a dry spell in any Western city anytime...petrichor I love it. Rapid gunfire that's one I don't miss. Off on a tangent here, in case that one wasn't enough.
