ASAQ Safari Extreme Episode # 228

[@CooLT0531]

No one can hype me up for a fragrance like AC does. The video wasn't even over and I already started looking for ways to get a sample. You are dangerous, my friend, you know that? :)

[@ACSmellsGood]

Hahah well mate, all I would say is please get a small decant as a lot of amazing fragrances are going to be reviewed on here leading up to Christmas ( and my Birthday ) and I do not want you to put more on that card because of me mate :)

[@hasanc786]

Just the seal of approval I needed before I proceed with the purchase. Thank You AC.

[@kashg.5973]

Easily the best, most genuine reviews on YT. No shilling, no bs. Safari Extreme is officially my next purchase :).

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you my friend for the superb endorsement. Please do sample if you can as this can be quite unisex. I enjoyed it immensely but I still am telling people to sample it if you can my friend.

[@kashg.5973]

@@ACSmellsGood Good advice! Will do. I aim for more of a fragrance wardrobe than a bona fide collection :).

[@ACSmellsGood]

@@kashg.5973 Exactly how it should be done :)

[@isaiah5568]

One of the best reviewers on KZbin 👍🏾👊🏾.

[@sumanth13]

Well deserved review of a Masterpiece of our generation. AC respect your take always, Cheers!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Sumanth, glad you enjoyed :)

[@hishamosman4341]

Man, you're the ultimate Guru in the fragrance world bro. Apart from this SE, I think their Black Incense is not bad too

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you and very kind of you Hisham. I haven't tried their Black Incense yet.

[@salahtawi3725]

This one is very special, Sniffed it in ASAQ Store last March and I still can remember the smell! Maybe one day it’s time for full bottle.. thanks AC outstanding review just like that juice!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Salah, I am delighted to see you enjoyed the review and have had the good fortune of actually smelling it :) If not a full bottle, its definitely worth getting a small decant for sure :)

[@busdrivingninja6160]

AC! I blind bought a partial bottle of Safari Extreme from Ebay. It's too bloomin' floral for me & I don't have big enough dangly bits to wear this out in public! :) Nikhil (Exotic Scents) made me buy it. I must admit the quality & richness is top drawer. The bottle itself is a work of art. Thanks to your review I''ll grow a pair & give Safari another bash. You've inspired me. Cheers AC

[@ACSmellsGood]

Hahah Colin, sorry to hear mate, but didn't the sandalwood balance it out ? I would say sell it on bud if you don't like it, theres plenty more to try and buy ;) Let me know how your second try goes, and I would say try it on when its cold outside on your way to the Pantomime :)

[@perfumuse]

Is it redundant to get Safari Extreme if I already have La Yuqawam? I realize the notes don’t compare 1:1, but I am asking in terms of overall direction/ DNA.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Not at all they are very different scents.

[@siddhartha2236]

Hi AC, I just ordered 2 x 75 ml of this fragrance, i had sampled this fragrance after seeing your review. Set me back by INR 28K but i think its worth every single paisa.

[@ACSmellsGood]

haha I think you will be amazed by this fragrance Siddharth :)

[@Donmenon]

Awesome review. I’ve only just gotten into these houses recently after a visiting an Arabian Oud boutique. The fragrances were absolutely stunning for the prices. I walked away with Majestic and Amiri. Now I’m ready to visit our local ASAQ boutique. Your review makes Safari Extreme the first one to sample. Would you cover more Arabian Oud fragrances? There were so many great scents and I’d very much appreciate your thoughts on them. Cheers AC 🥂

[@ACSmellsGood]

Hi Shankar, this is a very nice rich oriental and glad to hear you enjoyed it. I have reviewed many arabian fragrances so please have a browse through my channel.

[@Donmenon]

@@ACSmellsGood Thanks for your reply AC. I have enjoyed many of your videos and have learned so much on these houses. What would be your best recommendations from Arabian Oud, ASAQ and Ajmal? These houses are available here in Kuala Lumpur and I look forward to popping in and having a try. I very much enjoyed your overview of Rasasi fragrances but unfortunately they’re not readily available here.

[@Jot_Pe]

AC, Thank you for the great review! It is interesting coincidence that I have received a bottle of Safari Extreme exactly 2 weeks ago from ASQ online store. It was my blind buy after reading and watching several reviews. Even considering I'm not a big fan of vanilla and it turned out that the scent has more feminine nuances than I expected (especially in the drydown) it is still great and the bottle is a masterpiece. Additionally I enjoyed 50% off!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Wow! thats indeed a lovely coincidence. How much did you get for after the discount my friend ?

[@Jot_Pe]

@@ACSmellsGood Exactly half of the normal price = 93.5 USD. They had the discount (only in online store) for everything at least throughout October and even part of November.

[@ACSmellsGood]

@@Jot_Pe Wow thats great luck mate!

[@olaniyirex]

Thanks for recommending my sotn. You reminded me of this masterpiece... I'm glad this is more versatile for me...10/10 for me... Cheers! 🥂

[@ACSmellsGood]

So nice to hear you already have it in your collection Rex, I really liked it and might get a bigger decant or a partial if I can get my hands on it.

[@jedlovelongno6369]

Just a question Sir. Are we allowed to carry several full bottles of perfumes in a flight? Like putting it in a check in luggage? Thanks

[@FrontAndCentersv]

my favorite from ASQ, so unique and regal, I can see this one entering your classic "Mos Opulent" list for 2020 :) cheers from Abu Dhabi

[@ACSmellsGood]

i agree Diego, this can very easily sit on the Most Opulent List of videos mate :) What other fragrances have you tried mate? I am asking as you live in Abu Dhabi.

[@FrontAndCentersv]

Smells Good le cream of the crop in my opinion is Hind al Oud they are all beautiful - ASQ Safari Extreme won the Fragrance of the Year award at the 2015, 6th Annual Arabia kind Of like Fragrance Oscars, there is also another fragrance named Tarteel silver by Arabian oud as well an award winner, you should give it a try in case you haven’t. Cheers

[@arabianoud3812]

Hi AC hope u doing fine. I love Safari Extreme I have one that I really love to wear all the time regardless of occasions. It’s available in my country I live in Saudi Arabia

[@ACSmellsGood]

Wow, good to hear that you love this one so much mate :) I really enjoyed testing and reviewing it for sure :)

[@ehsanbari4191]

Is it wearable in summers?

[@dembadibba5921]

This is a great one ☝️. One of my best woody scent .

[@ACSmellsGood]

Indeed buddy, so rich and beautiful :)

[@ImranMalik-nj6hh]

Hi great video I bought the safari extreme last week from ASQ Oxford street was on sale 50% off and truly enjoying it.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Oh thats Superb Imran, how much did you pay for it after the discount ? I might pop over to their shop as I want to sample a few more of their creations :)

[@ImranMalik-nj6hh]

Paid about £87 after 50% discount,

[@ImranMalik-nj6hh]

Iam In the area all the time and I see they often have 50% discount on everything.If you do go try they kalakashi aged Oudh be interesting your take on that.

[@furkhan0001]

The Perfumer who made this Masterpiece need to be Highlighted ,this perfume is Outstanding ,a very detailed review 👏 👌, kindly Mention any Clones to this Perfume if you know any,BTW give it a try to Arabian leather from Arabian oud they both have some kind of same Vibe

[@mohammadasif1654]

I will give 10/10 for this review I love it, ASAQ is Saudi Arabian company, they create perfumes for rich Arab world

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Asif, really enjoyed the strong endorsement of my review buddy. Always nice to see my old friends enjoying my videos :)

[@MrAmirr76]

Great review as always AC***, Thx for the share bro. Have an awesome week mate:) !cheers

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Amir my man , and you have a great week as well buddy :)

[@03500]

Great review, I’m into these gorgeous houses lately. I was wondering if you could review Aseel by Arabian Oud someday. Thank you 🙏

[@ACSmellsGood]

sure I will do in autumn this year.

[@prakhar_deep]

Hi AC, Does Rohit your dear friend runs a Perfume shop ?

[@stoyankostov9849]

Sounds very appealing! Currently I'm still enjoying my new bottle of Rasasi's WaaW, and women do seem to enjoy it a lot. According to them it is a desert type of a gourmand fragrance. To me, it is a bomb of spices, sweetness and warmth, initial spray heavy, thick, charismatic and spicy. Thank you for the reviews AC! Have a great one, Stoyan

[@ACSmellsGood]

Great to hear you are liking the WaaW Stoyan, this cold weather really amps the charm of WaaW in my view :)

[@edemersonbonilla8704]

Waaw?

@@edemersonbonilla8704 Yup - Sotoor Waaw. Awesome fragrance, great longevity, cheap price! A tad bit spicy, but still nice!

Fantastic review!!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Ryan, so good to see you mate :)

[@sep47]

hello sir, i want to ask which better for spl and versatile from safari extreme ASQ, aseel arabian oud, rosewood arabianoud? many thx

[@ACSmellsGood]

I would say Safari Extreme buddy.

[@sep47]

@@ACSmellsGood im confuse what would i get between those..somesaid rosewood more compliment, even collector said aseel win his heart than initio sideeffect, and this safari extreme make me confuse..bcoz my place not selling decant or vial.. so many thx, mister.. stay safe from covid-19

[@KSAgent]

Yes I will try it in winter to see how it will develop on me. I use it in summer but it was weak. Best regards.

[@ACSmellsGood]

hopefully it works my friend, as I never got the impression that it was weak.

[@paulhegarty8380]

I’ve heard of this fragrance. Reminds me of the excesses of Romanticism if you catch my drift, Wagner’s operas for example, a fruit so ripe it can only turn bad ( not that this scent is going to turn bad ) . Could anything be more opulent? Not by the sounds of it. - You’re getting your nose on some fine stuff AC!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Beautiful Comment Paul and very Pertinent as well :). I am trying to review some great fragrances as Christmas is near and I want people to sniff as much nice stuff as possible and maybe pick the top ones at a good price if they can get it.

[@hiphopnumber1318]

Somehow I haven't heard of this one, sounds my style tho, great content as always, wondering if you could do a full review of Nishane Hacivat which featured in your October 2019 Fragrance Haul , i blind bought it for 175 dollars from a seller in the fragrance groups I know & it will be arriving here by the weekend, i would love to hear your input and full description of it, i like how well you word things in your reviews and very honest with it, would be appreciated!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Sure my friend, I will review Hacivat very soon , its just that its gone very cold here suddenly so might have to wait for the weather to turn a little warmer. This is surely a must try fragrance mate, see if you can sample it :) BTW the price you paid for Hacivat is brilliant :)

[@hiphopnumber1318]

Thank you, can't wait for it to arrive :)

[@tfouda1084]

WOW what a review I am glad by your interest in Mi perfumes and in eastern perfumery in general and doing a review for my favourite oriental house ASAQ is a plus kindly sample two of thier legendary perfumes Al qurashi heritage blend ASAQ body musk They worth trying IMHO

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Tarek, I am delighted you enjoyed the review so much. I will definitely seek out samples of the two you mention.

[@iwoww562a9]

This is a very beautiful perfume unfortunately I can getting this to be strong enough. I like very strong perfumes. I might need to by 1 bottle to spray every I own until it runs out

[@steveb8269]

Sounds awesome, I'll sample this one for sure AC 🤩

[@ACSmellsGood]

Totally worth it Steve, and I truly hope you enjoy it.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Michael, glad you enjoyed it my friend :)

[@michaelbullock8011]

[@EVILAKUMA]

Do one for Kalemat Black please if you havent tried its lovely trust me

[@ACSmellsGood]

I certainly will try my friend. I haven't got any at the moment but I have tried Kalemat Black in AO stores, its lush. Stay safe and have a great Week :)

[@prototp1]

Amazing review sir , this scent is literally a fragrant safari . I love it 😇😇

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thanks for sending me the sample, i really enjoyed it. I might get a bigger decant at a later stage I think.

[@ahmadibrahimkoreja5337]

Smells Good

[@HassanSiddiqui1]

This one is legend from middle east... Sad this got reformulated 😔

[@salahtawi3725]

Wow that’s sad, when ?? March /2019 I tested it in their own store and it was beautiful..

[@HassanSiddiqui1]

Fragrance is still beauty but performance got worse

[@ACSmellsGood]

Really ? Reformulated ??

[@keithgray1221]

Hello AC. This sounds interesting. I tried Tuscan Leather and liked the smell but after a while it made me feel nauseous for some reason. I tried Molton Brown Russian Leather yesterday and love it, very masculine, quite linear but definitely my cup of tea, smokey and sexy. Like sitting in a brand new car with leather seats that's been parked near a bonfire and a window left open!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Keith, and I am like you , I find the opening of TL leather quite scary :) I want to try a few Molton Browns , so wanted to know the longevity and the projection on the Russian Leather. How was the performance ?

[@keithgray1221]

@@ACSmellsGood performance seems really good AC. I only tried it once, one spray on my hand and could clearly smell it just walking around, could still smell it on hand around 8hrs later. I'm no expert but I think it is a good one. I'm going to buy it later this week.

[@keithgray1221]

P.s it's in the Molton Brown black friday sale this week.

[@mainaman]

Currently on sale on their USA website, 93 bucks plus shipping

[@ACSmellsGood]

Wow brilliant price, but, please do sample it if you can as this is borderline challenging and can shock people :)

[@thegodfatherthegodfather5648]

Al qurashi blend the winner for me

[@vishnugtda]

Also pls review AMBER cologne by BORNITKOFF

[@ACSmellsGood]

I will try Vishnu, I just cant get samples of any of the Bortnikoff fragrances at a reasonable price.

[@ehsanbari4191]

Can u wear it in summers?

[@ACSmellsGood]

This will be difficult to wear in the summers but thats just my personal view, do test it out.

[@Gambino471]

One of the best fragrances ever created by humans. Safari Extreme can't be compared to Tuscan Leather. TL is lame and has a cheap suede (leather) smell.

[@bennycop]

AC - "Not I think, I know" 😎

[@ACSmellsGood]

Hahaha Benny, I just had to reign my wandering brain in mate :)

[@crank_FPV]

I’m going to order it 😂
