Fragrance World Divin Asylum Reformulated??

[@stevenlang9849]

The noticeable quality difference will provably change with maceratiion Almost all my fragrances I ever bought with very fresh batches changed quite a bit over time. Be it BDK Gris Charnel becoming fruitier with time, Lost cherry improving longevity or Angels share getting smoother

[@damiandecasas6962]

We have to be a little patient with the maceration process. I’m getting 7-8 hours of longevity in the first week. The first 2 days were a little weak in performance. But it just keeps getting better. Batch Date on my bottle is 04/24. I purchased in 05/24.

[@Paul43210]

Good to hear, thanks! Would realy apreciate a update in 6 to 8 weeks. My old bottle is almost empty and i love it. So would be sad if the quality dropped

[@wazzabanzook5028]

dont empty your bottle, keep some in it so you can do a propper comparison later on​@Paul43210

[@neinaknhein5590]

Can't wait to hear some update for this new bottle you have.

[@guachito33]

same bottle here but im getting 5 hours in skin....

[@Paul43210]

Hello, has it changed, any update? 🙏

[@raydeemed]

Refornulation is a trick they use, they hype a frag when its new and everyone speaks good things about it but after people get hooked they reformulate it, like Qahwa, Sublime etc they no longer last 4hrs on skin, i macerated them for 6 months, same results, they do it on purpose, thats why if you see a new release find a way of trying it asap, if you like it buy asap because after they hype it they reformulate to make more money because people still think it is still good and reviewers dont make updates on new batches

[@jamarr911]

Thank You, and yea I dont necessarily think its always done on purpose, I think in some cases with material regulations or cost of materials sometimes these fragrance companies may just be forced to change how the fragrances are formulated.

[@raydeemed]

@@jamarr911 i disagree, its a strategy, think about it, they use quality ingredients anx everything just to encourage people and then they recoup through reformulation when masses are flocking

[@raydeemed]

[@onpoint357]

Like homie said its not usually on purpose. Mostly its because of regulations (so they have no choice) And to be fair some fragrances project so beastly and LOUD 🔊 they need to be reformulated and toned down a notch

[@KurushimiVrishraka]

Broooooooo I am so shocked, I just got mine today, tested out right away... sprayed alot... strong smell at first. 10mins later, it's a faint skin scent! My gosh! I bought 3 of this too!

[@jamarr911]

Just give it time I guess. Also just keep in mind that the real Elysium Parfum Cologne is not a beast mode scent. It does best on hot days in the sun, so if you are wearing it when its still cool outside or inside a climate controlled environment, it wont perform as well.

[@KurushimiVrishraka]

@@jamarr911 I live in Tropical Island, yeah... I guess I have to give it some time, around 3-6months. I wonder if it works if I leave it on a hot area but not on the sun. Very curious about it if there is a chemical reaction from normal heat around 90 degrees. ( Indoors )

[@dtom8053]

After your review $60 is too much, have to past on it . Thanks for the honest review.

[@jamarr911]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@shmoopiebear]

I'm wondering if maturation will help? Thank you for the head's up. I was going to get a backup bottle. Not anymore. Too bad.

[@douglas7591]

i have a newer bottle and i can say that maturation works. plus it's also strong with a nice blast of citrus that can make your go blind, people don't keep that in mind

[@jamarr911]

Hopefully it will, after about a month though it still seems to be a little weak.

[@shmoopiebear]

@@jamarr911 An example of how a clone house is doing bait and switch and shooting themselves in the foot. If the new one is still powerful with maturation then I can't imagine how the initial issue of the clone must be like. I did see an old review where you said it exceeded the OG. I guess it is weaker now but still stronger than the OG. I guess the clone house didn't think people would notice reformulation. Nerp. They were dead wrong. Cheers.

[@shmoopiebear]

@@douglas7591 One can hope. Cheers.

[@guachito33]

i bought mine about two weeks ago using your link, love the scent but i noticed it’s not super strong, wonder if maceration would help so let’s see what happens

Yea hopefully that helps

That's why I hate those fragrance houses. They sucks with their reformulations. Thanks for the review bro!!

[@jamarr911]

Thank You, and yea that’s the nature of fragrances

[@TranceLove25]

[@nfc3po]

I have a PD 03/24 and it’s fine. I also notice a lot of particulates floating around, which is my only real complaint. It lasts 6-8+ hours for me. Can’t compare the scent to the older bottle since I don’t Have that one. I think it’s just as likely that there was so much hype that some people built this up in their head to a point it couldn’t live up to and were let down.

[@jamarr911]

Nice my newer bottle also has a lot of particles in it as well. Ill def give it time though. My first bottle probably wont be getting used completely anytime soon

Thanks for the heads up will pass on the new batch, Maybe Scentual Obsessions

[@junkies1111]

I have both. They both smell the same. 100ml scentual obsession gonna cost u more.

[@richparkinson9647]

I only had one Scentual Obsessions, and it smelled like vitamins to me. It was 2022 Dior Homme Cologne. Definitely smelled off and made me not pick up anything else from them. Same type of thing happened with fragrancebodyoilz. Their Pacific Chill was not fresh and fruity at all. That juice was way off.

[@thebigdubnetwork]

Wow the timing on this video. I purchased this recently off your recommendation. Scent profile is a big winner that I'm a fan of. Performance, however, is poor for me. 2-3 hours poor. Now I gotta try Zion because I probably won't find a older bottle of the Divine

[@jamarr911]

The new batches of Zion are pretty bad on performance also. Idk what changed but Ive purchased Zion twice over the last 3-4 years and the performance has been pretty bad. Hopefully the new Divin Asylum bottles will get better with some decent maturation.

[@thebigdubnetwork]

@jamarr911 thanks for the heads up.

[@guachito33]

can you provide an update later regarding performance ?? which one last longer on skin, siage, etc

[@jamarr911]

Possibly

[@guachito33]

Did a few tests and it lasts 5 hours on skin. Longer on clothes, I’m sure it’ll get better with time, will report later

[@alessandrogandolfi9328]

I have a new batch bottle, arrived almost a month ago. As always I spray some when it arrives and wait at least a week before using it. I used it twice since arrival and both times after 2/3 hours the scent was really weak. The opening is lovely tho, it is not muted at all. If it doesn't get any better in a month or so, I will just layer it with the clone of Imagination I have to get a very good opening and the usual Imagination drydown. I also have a newer batch of After Effect and it lasts for 6/7 hours more or less, it arrived in the same period. Glorious Oud Royal Blanc will arrive this week and I will get Paradigm asap when it will be available. I hope with maturation all of them will get better.

[@saydomargeran7700]

I also got my hands on the newer batch and got particles floating around.

[@wazzabanzook5028]

mayb ginger flakes like ypu get in ginger beer?

[@SnoopyRu1980]

I got mine earlier this month and noticed the changes too. I replied about it on your old video from last year too. Now upon my first glance it looked as if the juice inside the bottle is darker and assuming would be stronger. I sprayed BOTH my newer and older bottle and the newer seemed stronger too. I never thought the old batch was strong and i always reapplied it hours later. Maybe they (FA Paris) have a quality control issue they haven't figured out yet?

[@jamarr911]

More than likely they were forced to use different materials due to either regulations or cost.

[@CUMMNurWAY2]

I have the original batch. I also have a 78% volume batch of Elysium Parfum Cologne. And I also have Dua's Supernova. Of the 3, Supernova is by the far the strongest with the best longevity. They all smell pretty dam close to my nose. But I like Divin Asylum more than the other 2 tho. I found wearing the OG and Divin Asylum in around 60 degrees is where I get the best longevity. I wouldn't waste my money on the reformed. I have enough of this scent profile to last me. Appreciate the heads up bruh, had me running around checking my bottle and box. I got my bottle in June of last year for $70 before tax and shipping off of eBay. Seller wanted more but I worked it down to 70. Keep up the good work, great job bruh!

[@jamarr911]

Thanks bro, and yea between these two bottles, I probably wont ever need another one clone or bottle of this DNA either.

[@Det1911]

I had the supernova it was 30 ml. You had to scrub it off your skin to get it off, no exaggeration, lol. I will say I like the smell of the Divine better. I wish I had the same longevity

[@jamarr911]

@@Det1911 yea Ive heard a lot of the DUAs have a weird sort of underlying smell to them. I just wish Alexandria’s Zion still performed like it did back in like 2017 smh.

[@CUMMNurWAY2]

People need to wash their ass before putting smell good on. Of all of my Dua's, I have never noticed anything that smelled weird or off putting. The only one I didn't care for was the Tuxedo clone. I just wasn't feeling that scent profile. But yeah, Supernova is hella strong. I have that and the one they did with the Aventus DNA. People put Elysium for warmer weather wear. I think it's best for cooler days like mid 50's to low 60's. That's off of my skin, I know chemistry plays a part in it. I get over 7 hours of catching whiffs of it. Divin Asylum is the better out of the 3 in my opinion. It's like all of the notes are more cohesive than the OG and Supernova. Doesn't have that strong vetiver drydown either.

[@Marik248]

Could you please do a follow-up after 3-6 months to see if anything changed in the mean time? I have half a bottle of the 23 batch and would be very interested if aging will bring this up to par with its 23 counterpart.

[@jamarr911]

Possibly

[@NHRebelsthoughts]

9/10/24 I got the new Divin. Juice is much darker. I got 5 hours on clothes. I only spent $ 33 so not bad but I advise saving up for Elysium it is magic

[@vincefry9225]

Great content. I wish I would have seen this before I ordered another Elysium clone. New formulation still pretty good to me. Probably would have passed due to redundancy though

[@jamarr911]

Thanks Vince, yea honestly Im getting about the same performance that I typically got with the real Elysium from the newer bottle. The older one I typically got all day with usually.

[@RizqiAngga]

I have 2024 bottle,, i think lil bit weak on longetivity like 5 hours on my skin

[@Nebuheru]

Interesting vid. I just ordered Rasasi Hawas last week. Amazon had several bottles for sale from different sellers. They had a couple bottles in the 48.00 range with light colored juice and bottles 55.00 and up with a darker colored juice. I Don't know if it meant anything but I had heard that Hawas has been reformulated so I ordered one of the higher priced bottles with the darker juice.

[@CUMMNurWAY2]

Prolly should've just put up a few more dollars and got Hawas Ice. That juice projects strongly for about 3 hours. And you can still smell it decently 7-8 hours after that. I'm not sure if mine is first batch or not. I couldn't catch it in stock when it was first released at a decent price. Definitely wasn't paying what the tiktok shop/store was asking for it, $110 at the time.

[@Nebuheru]

@@CUMMNurWAY2 I really haven't been interested in Hawas ice because I've seen conflicting reviews on it. The Hawas bottle I bought was 56.00. When I get it, I'm going to just air it out and pack it away in my suitcase for when I move in late August. That's what I do with all my fragrances. Air em out, or decant 8-10ml and store the bottle until I need to draw from it again in about a year. So it really didn't matter too much which bottle I got, but if I'd rather start out with the darker juice if I can.

[@milliefrankieshaw2009]

Agree with every word you’ve said, I would of definitely of brought a second, maybe even a 3rd if I knew there was going to be a brake in sales . I’m kinda hoping they’ve rushed it into the market but something tells me it’s just not a very good fragrance. What’s the fomo fragheads saying ? Any good ?

That's one thing I've noticed with popular middle eastern fragrances that sells out quickly! Because of the hype! Once they finally bring any of them back in stock the quality of the juice is never the same regardless how long you let it sit 👈👈👈 it happend with the original hawas, imperium, maison alhambra jean lowe Immortal and actually the new hawas ice ! I have the first formula before it sold out and it's minty aromatic citrus freshness on top is a lot stronger and noticeable than the second release! Once they got the fragrance community hooked on a popular fragrance they lesson the quality of the oils in my opinion.

Are we dealing with maceration because you have to go through the same process again every purchase so review after a month and you spray it I'M NOT SAYING PEOPLE ARE WRONG I'M SAYING BE SURE 🎯
