Was at the LV boutique last weekend and spritzed this one on the back of my hand. I hadn't read up on it and was expecting something along the lines of the other "darker" bottle LVs, so was completely thrown off by the unexpected sweetness. Went to dinner with some friends a few hours later and my attention was definitely caught by the wafts I was getting whenever I moved my hand (in conversation) about. That dry down was so gooood. Friends noticed it too, despite having doused myself with Bracken as my SOTD earlier that day. So yeah agreed. The dry down was quite addictive if you can get past the initial sweetness. And my tolerance for sweetness is usually higher than yours! Anyway, if I see a cheap partial, I'll probably take a stab at a bottle, but can't see myself paying retail. Having said that, I'm a huge fan of Ombre Nomade and Nuit de Feu, as well as Nouveau Monde (which is a Ombre Nomade with cacao). I don't think those fall in the same category of mass pleasing to attract their clientele. In fact, I was letting my bro and his wife (who are not fragheads and were visiting) smell Ombre Nomade and you should have seen the look of disgust in their faces when it reached their noses in the air. So, not even sniffing it yet. 😁 Thanks for the initial impressions as always!

[@RamseytheRam]

Gonna try and do a video on the more "edgy" Louis Vuitton scents... gotta score some of the juice first and I also refuse to pay retail.. LV can shove it with that 😂😂😂

[@bettybbags]

Such an intelligent review! I just bought the 100ml 🥰 it’s crazy how it completely flips 30 min in and dries down to something completely different.

[@bettybbags]

It is very synthetic (but not headache inducing) but still something unique in the journey along the wearing experience. I love it

[@RamseytheRam]

Thank you so much much for the kind words & for watching & commenting 😊

[@bryealvarez]

retail on nuit de feu is $365 for 100ml not 485 still high but not 485 Lol

[@RamseytheRam]

Ahhh thanks for sharing... i just want someone to sell me 10ml of nuit de feu & 10ml of ombre nomad & I will be set 😂 I dont need 100ml bottles

[@aidafares9268]

You made me fall in love with the perfume

[@RamseytheRam]

I did? I thought I was a little harsh on it & the brand 😂😂😂 did you blind buy it? If you did do report back & let me know what you make of it🍻

[@aidafares9268]

@@RamseytheRam i can’t blind buy it . Yes you did everything thing you said about made me love it it’s my taste 🥰😍

[@Cate98765]

I got a sample of this and at first it smells like perfume mature people wear then you’re right the dry down is pretty good. Also the scent trail is insane. I can smell it and I only did spray 1 squirt on my arm. I sort of agree with lv perfume line, they’re made to be popular and appealing to the masses but I do like some is their fragrances.

[@RamseytheRam]

The scent trail is crazy strong with some of these modern synthetics they are using Thanks so much for watching / commenting & sharing your thoughts 🥂

[@phyllisiervello]

I feel the same way about Louis Vuitton fragrances as you do. In fact, the entire brand is over-priced from not just perfume, but outrageous prices for purses that are mostly plastic except for perhaps the leather handle, and clothing that I would never even try on, let along buy. That being said, I do have a couple of their colognes from yesteryear that were only priced for about $120.00, not $320.00. Another excellent Ramsey rant...thank you for the entertainment and knowledge!

[@RamseytheRam]

Thanks for contributing to the dialogue and for watching Phyllis

[@RichMitch]

such a massively synthetic brand

[@RamseytheRam]

Hi Ram! I have a friend with severe seasonal allergies (and major trouble with perfume). Louis Vuitton is one of only 2 brands she can comfortably wear. While LV frags aren’t my jam (don’t own any), I’m happy they work for her & those with sensitivities to naturals. Personally, I have more issues with synthetics (occasionally triggering migraines). Interesting review! You do go everywhere in the fragrance world! 😀🙌👏❤️🙌

[@RamseytheRam]

I will review anything 😂😂😂 It is interesting to me that this is one of the brands she can comfortably wear as it smells sooooo overly synthetic ... but hey to each their own 🤷‍♂️

[@RachelKNg]

@@RamseytheRam yeah, I think it’s because it’s so synthetic that she can wear it. To each her own, exactly!

[@LEgoiste]

@@RachelKNg Better be careful Rachel... only a matter of time and you might become sensitive to said perfume your friend wears. 🤣 I had a date many years ago and her perfume just turned my stomach, no second date !🤣 It was Poison... aptly named! However it smells good on me, just like AE it's fine with just one spray.

[@LEgoiste]

Totally agree, I recently got carried away with a fragrance and mentioned it in the comments.... should have waited for the drydown. It just collapsed and settled to that sweet cotton candy skin scent that so many do. That and the thin smokey drydown from many modern releases just bore me.

[@RachelKNg]

@@LEgoiste 😂🤣 All a matter of finding the balance! 😀 Great wisdom, indeed!

[@SPACEDOUT19]

Did you try Imagination? i honestly love it, very simple and soapy, but really high-quality for the hot summer days, thinking of getting a bottle

[@RamseytheRam]

No I have never sniffed Imagination... its on "the list" 😁

[@davidhines5087]

Good review Sir Ramsey thanks for the fragrance lesson as well as your take on this fragrance!! Question? What do you think of the DUA line ?? I noticed you don’t mention them at all ??

[@RamseytheRam]

The clone company? I will most likely never talk about them... clones are really not my thing unless I find one that is really really really good... there is a Rasasi clone of tuscan leather I really like & Alexandria has a few Roja clones that are good.... but other than that you probably wont ever hear about Dua frags on my channel 🤷‍♂️

[@pullingthestrings5233]

DUA is a disgusting company.

[@rossmcfarlane6687]

I really enjoyed the two LV perfumes I've tried - Ombre Nomade and Nuit de Feu, but the pricing is mental.

[@RamseytheRam]

Pricing is indeed outrageous... but I would love to try those two one day 🙏

[@parishm]

as they say, "if you have to ask"

[@justaddlight]

Strange that JCB hasn't gone the artisan route and launched his own brand like FK, Morillas, Cresp and others. Is it because he's the in-house for LV? Anyway, I've been asking around for over 5 years whether or not it was he or Morillas that perfumed Acqua di Gio, but now it seems like may have been a massive collab. Taken over by Morillas eventually with the flankers. Not that it matters to me much. He's still my favourite nose 6 years running.

[@RamseytheRam]

Yeah I think Acqua di Gio was massive Collab between JC & Morillas but someone Morillas gets all the credit & jacques never gets any 🤷‍♂️

[@rabbit7able792]

Yo Bud, this is exactly what I said yesterday. I've been asking you the odd question about the Roja's and it seems to me it doesn't add up to what I'm playing with. I just made a big purchase 7 more of those 10mls that I have from the same person and the same batch, I'll email you when I get them. I've been waiting 6 weeks for him to come back from vacation and I've had to be very patient not to purchase anything else because I knew the condition of the perfume is 100% which is difficult in vintage. As I am very particular and I don't want to make a mistake. email you soon

[@RamseytheRam]

Nice... well played my friend 🍻

[@IrregularTangent]

The bottle is out for this one Ramsey. Saw it at the LV boutique. They also have the hidden metallic Art Deco collection. I have stellar from that collection and I’m getting another one. The had one that was regional realease couldn’t get it in Europe or state side. It was dropped in Mid East called oud pur..maybe get a bottle through the loops 😬

[@RamseytheRam]

I would love to smell more from the Louis Vuitton line but their prices are extravagent🤌🤌🤌

[@IrregularTangent]

@@RamseytheRam agreed as a new brand dipping into fragrances their prices are quite steep. I have few from their collection maybe I can send you some samples

[@RamseytheRam]

That would be very kind of you... but you dont have to do that... I will secure samples somehow... nuit de feu & ombre nomade are the two I really want to do videos on 🤌🤌🤌

@@RamseytheRam I think that yes ,definitely on note breakdown and the couple of reviews I watched they seem right in my wheelhouse,however when I see who rates them as daring ,and maybe a little much for most noses and how the same reviewers can’t handle the real deal artisan compositions ,well ya gotta think 🤔 naw, they be western style and pretty tame ,this of course is just my opinion and speculation since I have not sniffed them ,bet ya I’m on da money though hahaha✌️

They never do sales do they... because they are trying to be seen as a true "Luxury" Brand... I notice they control the stock on the secondary market better than most brands too... there are hardly ever partials or discounted bottles on the secondary market either I noticed which means they never sell to discounters in bulk for cheaper prices either 🤔
