Beaufort Rake & Ruin (2018) Early Impression!

[@delinquentflair]

Thanks for the review. Beaufort has become one of my favorite fragrance houses. I ordered samples of their two collections ("Come Hell Or High Water" and "Revenants") and didn't like them at all, at first. But I kept going back to them and something clicked. And now it's love. I need to spend more time with Rake & Ruin before I can form an opinion, but my current favorites are: Iron Duke (gunpowder, hay, soap, metal. Really smells like a battle out in a field.) Tonnerre (supposedly based off a sea battle. gunpowder, lime, brine, and a savory meaty aroma - maybe the "blood" referenced in the notes?) Vi et Armis (seems to share DNA with Tonnerre, but has less citrus/brine and more evergreen notes - reminds me of a mage's tower or something fantastical... I'm reluctant to bring up Luca Turin after the recent kerfuffle, but he described this one as "an alchemist's Christmas party" and I'll be damned if that's not the most accurate description.) Couer de Noir (smells like old books, parchment, and ink. Like, exactly. It's really fascinating!)

Yes Beaufort is an amazing house for someone who is into fragrance for Arts sake 🎨

Great breakdown on this one R. Mad line for sure I hear the iron Duke is a more wearable but I also hear Rake and ruin is not there most challenging lol . I have and enjoy Myths Man myself,great review cheers man peace out

[@RamseytheRam]

Rake and ruin not the most challenging 😂😳 I gotta sample more from this house.. cheers & thanks for watching 🍻

[@andypayne2743]

I love Beaufort. Rake and Ruin and Iron Duke are probably the easiest to wear from their line. Terror and magnificence has a church vibe to it, it’s incense and stone accords. The only one in the range I can’t stand is Fathom V which smells like earthy stems from a flower shop. The house is owned by the drummer from The Prodigy.

Thats amazing info Andy... thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@shivavereen7824]

I want this fragrance… just to sniff the madness! Rich loves it too.

[@RamseytheRam]

Since you love Amouage fragrances this might not be as challenging to you as most... but just be prepared its nutz 😂

[@shivavereen7824]

@@RamseytheRam I just need a scent when it’s go yo bed angry time. Lol. Seriously I like a fair amount of odd scents as long as they aren’t putrid.

[@RamseytheRam]

It isnt putrid... i think you will really like if you like strange out there angry scents ... smells like sailors unloading crates on a ship that just fired their canons and inside the crates were sawdust and packing that had been nailed in the crate the whole journey across the ocean and once it arrived someone sat on the crate and spilled some gin on it while partying drunk one night .. that is literally the best description for Rake & Ruin... my wife said it smelled like meat on a meat and cheese tray that has spoiled ... i dont get that at all but you get the idea.. its INSANE😂😂😂

[@TheBenjamindoughty]

Read my mind - just ordered some samples from this brand yesterday. Just don’t spray it 8 times like the duck lol

[@RamseytheRam]

It is powerful but surprisingly they really tone down after 3 or 4 hours ... seems like they only last 6 or 7 hours too which like I said in the video u will be dumbfounded by when you first smell it...it feels like it is going to be vintate Amouage longevity & projection but its not 🤷‍♂️

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

Brilliant. I got this in an apothecary in Chicago. They had a bunch from the house (all crazy and interesting☠️) and I chose this one . And I freaking love it. The dry down is where it's at for sure... Lol. ✌️

[@RamseytheRam]

Yeah i actually really like the dry down... i dont know how I feel about waiting 4 to 6 hours to get there though 😂🍻

[@jaysonshift4392]

Sampled about 6 frags from the house one of few houses that frags stay past 2 hours on my skin . This house features a lot of smoke, birch, subdued funeral florals lol love their frags !!!

[@RamseytheRam]

I am definitely a fan... if you like old Amouage when Chong was the captain this is a house to explore

[@ericlee419]

Drakkar intense-not bad. easy driver. vintage lagerfeld. instant love. honey and strong tobacco. reminds me alot of SL Fumerie Turque

[@RamseytheRam]

I still need fumerie turque... but I am just unwilling to pay the outrageous prices fumerie turque is commanding on the secondary market 😶

[@ericlee419]

@@RamseytheRam fumerie is probably one of my faves from SL. smells like a good headshop/hookah bar. enjoying that vintage lagerfeld. very similar to me

[@anthonynunez164]

This is the type of fragrance you put on to go to the local sh!thole pub, shoot some pool, score some blow, and try to bang the bartender. I have this one and Iron Duke which is lovely. Interestingly I enjoyed Iron Duke more when they arrived but I’ve been using the Rake and Ruin just as much if not more.

[@RamseytheRam]

😂😂😂 That is awesome
