Came over from Robes08‘s channel, great content, appreciated your live stream. DS&Durga is my upcoming favorite niche house with all the scent stories they tell. Amber Teutonic is my favourite, closely followed by Bowmakers, Amber Kiso and - for gloomy rainy autumn days - Pistachio (although less artistic). Bowmakers to me resembles exactly what the title is: a bowmaker‘s shop, magagony wood, workshop, bow grease and also the violin case‘s old, distinctive smell. To me, it smells like opening a precious violin case, old, of good quality and distinct. Keep up your great works and reviews and congrats to 10K. 🎉

Im still so new to perfumery, and the reason i got into it was because i was in an uber and the man who was driving was wearing black magenta by DS Durga and it was just beautiful, it kept unraveling itself throughout the ride and it wasn’t until the end where i had to ask what it was! I purchased it and i love it but its definitely opened the doors to my curiosity on perfumes, i also purchased “La couche Du Diable” by Serge Lutens because of you and i absolutely LOVEEE it, will be purchasing a bigger bottle and many more of your recommendations! 😊

You should check out the Texas indie house called Boyds of Texas. Made in San Antonio. If you like bowmakers, you with Love High Desert and Cuero. They are 100% natural to boot. Another great Texas house is called Cultus Artem. Their Vetiver is incredible and their Tuberose lifelike. Also 100% natural I believe, hand made in Texas.

I like Debaser from this house, but let's see how good is this. Scent Of The Day : Oscar de la Renta - Pour Lui

Hiyah mate. Loving your videos. Watching top 100 as we speak. Just watched your vintage still worth buying in their modern formulas . Definitely going to try the Lauder and the Lapidus. Today’s scent is Giorgio Beverley Hills. I would never have imagined wearing this just a few months ago. Smells amazing but the Mrs hates it . I previously asked you if you knew anything that smells like Macassar. According to Fragantica Leather Jardin by Zara ( Jo Malone ) comes close. You ever smelt that bro?

@RamseytheRam 3 ай бұрын

I have not but I SERIOUSLY doubt a Jo Malone frag smells like Macassar

@stephenraven921 3 ай бұрын

@@RamseytheRam Lol yes i seriously doubt it too. But I’m kinda clutching at straws . Don’t have £400 to splurge on eBay. The wafts from the loft guys big up the Zara but at no stage mention Macassar 🥴

Great video Ram! Playing with essential oils some time ago I think I discovered how to give that effect you're talking about to the woody accord. I would like to be able to smell Bowmakers to understand if my intuition is correct, but unfortunately I am also in my hiatus period

I know what you mean....it's good to occasionally take a hiatus 😏

This is the one from D.S.&D that I've been interested in the most. I live in a part of New York that does a lot of wood processing and carpentry, and has lots of old wooden cabins and cottages, so any fragrances that remind me of home are always going to get my attention.

My 2 cents is that you would really like this... thanks for watching & commenting 🍻

To me the brand had its finest output somewhere between 2008 - 2012. Bowmakers, Mississippi Medicine (a must if you love smoky fragrances), Burning Barbershop, Cowboy Grass. The more recent releases (2015 and onwards) feel lackluster to me.

@RamseytheRam 3 ай бұрын

Yes I know what you mean... and now with the buyout from Manzanita Capital will they become even more lackluster 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

So far tried bowmaker and st vetiver. Like them a lot and would buy but a bit pricey . I don’t think coriander was a hit judging by the amount of sales on eBay .

Yeah I think coriander was one of the ones I discussed on my DS & Durga Livestream and it was so so

Cheers Rams, I got only 1 , Notorious Oud from DS&D it’s an enjoyable wear nothing special but won’t get funny looks from folks, actually I got a compliment one time lol , appreciate this review I reckon this is or maybe was ? A good house to explore Happy Sunday mate ✌️🙏👍

Yes exactly Bren... Still haven't smelled Notorious Oud but it's on the never ending to sniff list 🐽 Thanks for watching brother 💪🐏

Compare Notorious Oud side by side with Matiere Premiere Crystal Saffron. They have a striking similarly

@@petbull7038 cheers @petbull7038 I hear you on the comparison and I think that also applies to most fragrances with the, Dare I say Oud for greatness genre in them , clearly not the same but all going for the similar scent profile especially in the air 👍

I miss this era of DSD. Now I feel like they’re trying too hard and collaborating with everyone and releasing something once a month. Seems to be working in their favor as their numbers and sales are increasing! Kudos to that but I they’ve lost their touch for me along with their recent sale. Had 12 bottles at the beginning of the year and now I’m down to 2….D.S. (Oud, saffron), and Debaser (fig, milk, woods). I do enjoy Radio Bombay and wouldn’t mind owning Durga. Cheers! I do enjoy Bowmakers. I sold it to a friend and he loves it. Smells good on him.

I bought this and just waiting patiently for it but can’t wait to smell it!! I was wondering if you could share a fragrance that smells like a basement?? 🙏

I am drawing a blank on basement frags....maybe we need to ask the audience on this question If any one can think of one do put it in the comments below 👇
