MODERN fragrances I Love & Enjoy! 🐏

This is a video on Modern fragrances I own, love & wear. I know I talk a lot about hard to find discontinued fragrances from decades long gone and many people assume perfume after some arbitrary date is dead (ie. anything made after 1993 for example). While I do think there is some truth to the fact that perfume from the 70s 80s & early 90s is gone and never coming back (at least from the big designers) I wanted to include some MODERN perfume from the last ten or fifteen years I own, love & wear. If you want to discuss perfume with me further please email me at [e-mail] or IG @ramseytheramsmellsgood

When You Listen To Something For Two Hours And Your Constantly Learning, Bravo Professor. Best Class On KZbin.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@RamseytheRam]

Thank you Antonio... appreciate the support as always my friend 😊

[@pedrodooramos2721]

Thank you Ramsey. Equipage geranium is amazing. One of my favorites. I wear it a lot. Very classy.

[@RamseytheRam]

Classy is a great word... I also find it mysterious and hard to pin down... that sandalwood base is really a shape shifter 🙂

[@RachelKNg]

Most Excellent Video!! I’m only halfway through your top 100!!! 😂🤣

[@RachelKNg]

I’m excited to watch this one, too!

[@RamseytheRam]

[@RachelKNg]

By the way, your thoughts on Le Lion 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 fascinating and much learning as always, Professor! My problem is I’m like in the middle of this one, the Top 100 ranked, AND the aldehydes 🤣😂

[@RamseytheRam]

Heck at that rate crank it up to full speed ahead... 2X speed! 😂😂😂

[@FST0p]

Thanks, bro! Good session as always …. And cost me money as most of the times 😂 Now I’m bidding on a geranium like it’s a collector’s item 😂 🤞... and just grabbed a brand new, sealed Kinski 😅. Couldn’t resist and paid a pretty penny after you mentioned it in a few vids. Naturally, FOMO took over, and well, here we are 😂. no regrets . It fits in perfectly into my wardrobe 👍

[@RamseytheRam]

Yes! Kinski is one of my all time favorite celebrity frags and I think the greatest work of Geza Schön

Fantastic list, Ramsey!! Was surprised at first that Nishane Hacivat wasn’t on there but then I remembered that you dislike sweet fragrances. Still though…great list! Thanks!

That was well worth investing the time to watch/listen to your list, which covered quite a broad spectrum of fragrances both current and past. Thank you for all the time you put into these videos.

Hey Sir Ramsey sorry I haven’t been viewing lately but I lost my mom this month on the 11 th so I’ve been busy with that. Just want to say thanks for this video much appreciated due to I can find these fragrance and thanks for listening all the info for us to reference. Your works and diligence to detail will pay off I pray you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and A happy new year 🎉!

[@RamseytheRam]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother😔 Not that it is the same thing but my Aunt passed away yesterday... my mother comes from a big catholic family, and you know how there is always that one Aunt or Uncle you really get along with and relate to? That was my Aunt Donna 🥺 Sorry for your loss 🙏

Your videos are teaching me not to sell fragrances I don't like/no longer want. I sold my Pour Le Soir and now it's going for $800, sold Gentleman and now it's going for $100. And there are many more you have mentioned on other videos lol I recently sold Vetiver Oriental, Grand Soir and Ormande Jayne man so i'm sure those will sky rocket too.

[@RamseytheRam]

That is my motto too.. i never sell fragrances Thanks for watching🙂

[@Dylan-zm3ht]

@@RamseytheRam Yea, I have this thing where I don’t want to see them in my collection. I guess I’ll just box them up and throw them in my closet for safe keeping from now on. Really enjoy the channel!

[@RichMitch]

There are, contrary to reports, still _some_ good modern perfumes out there

[@RamseytheRam]

Indeed! That about sums up the video 😂 Thanks for watching Rich 🐏🦆

[@justaddlight]

Actually that airplane excuse is a pretty good one. 😆 One spray in the cabin and it's free advertising. Can't stand those Voyage d'Hermes bottles though. Might as well be a USB stick. In fact, Ifi from Ifishares got a brand new, sealed and wrapped bottle once that came busted with like 30% of the juice missing. Very strange. But sotm Overture Man! Just picked up a decant of the women's version and I'm surprised how much I like it. Basically what I envisioned FM's POAL would smell like, with a slightly smoky, fruity-amber touch. There is a bit of that woody-amber-saffron going on in the opening, but Menardo balanced it decently with the sweetness. Shamilar Millesime Tonka probably my fav from this year. 📆

[@RamseytheRam]

I didnt like millesime tonka 🤒 everyone but me loves it 😪 Need to sniff overture woman... i hear great thanks .. thanks for watching Doni 😊

[@Sliceisnice850]

Getting so many good ideas from this. Thanks! Wore Epic Man today after you planted the idea by mentioning it.

[@RamseytheRam]

God I love Epic Man... and it works so well with my skin chemistry 🙏

[@Sliceisnice850]

@@RamseytheRam You mentioned Myths reminding someone of a nightmare. For me it flashed this image of a barren stretch of earth so white it’s lunar, the aftermath of some planet-altering catastrophe, but not a recent one: it happened a thousand years ago and nothing has moved since. It’s the smell of a never-ending nothingness. Not gloom, not darkness: nothingness. Perfume hardly ever effects me. I’m a cold fish that way. But this made me feel uneasy.

[@RamseytheRam]

@@Sliceisnice850 i love insane fragrances... myths man is a pure love for me... thats an interesting image it conjured up in you 🪐

[@Sliceisnice850]

@@RamseytheRam I can 100% get why someone would fall for it. Haven’t encountered anything like it. I think it’s that ash note. It’s not a dark, greasy ash, but a clean, white one, like being in a place that had been cleansed with fire. I swear, usually the most response a fragrance elicits from me is, “Damn, this is nice” or “Nope.” This one did something to me.

[@nathansmith-nd9nq]

Great list . Have a soft spot for oscar de la renta . Thanks Ramsey

[@RamseytheRam]

I do too.. really like the house and the two perfumes I have from them are great 🍻

@@RamseytheRam Its an aromatic loaded with ambroxan, sharp but with a creamy drydown. I think you would dislike it xD

[@robertpatter5509]

John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider is still under $100. A good deal. I wish they made an edp version of it. Such a good scent. You can pick up the vanilla as well.

[@RamseytheRam]

Many times when fragrances get Discontinued they instantly sky rocket in price... glad to hear it's still reasonable

[@TheSmellworthyReport]

Great video as always. You’re so right about Creed. I’m so grateful to have discovered Creed back when the gray cap collection was alive and well. Those were the days! Royal English Leather, Baie de Geneivre, Acier Aluminum, Royal Delight, etc. I even scored a Vintage Tabarome before it was discontinued. I cherish every bottle.

[@RamseytheRam]

Vintage Tabarome! That is number one on my hit list... impossible to find today though without giving someone the password to your bank account 😬😅😂

[@YankeeFlamee]

I love Kokorico! Got it in an airport Puerto Rico for cheap! Got it as a blind buy which I’m so proud of! No one knows it.

[@RamseytheRam]

Yeah I like it too but it's not worth the huge money it's going for on ebay... I would tell people to just by LIDGE for 50 bucks

[@YankeeFlamee]

@@RamseytheRam yeah makes sense! I smelled LIDGE once and I mostly got tea I feel like kokorico has more of the cacao and patchouli. Wish I got a bigger bottle!

[@colinbenfield326]

Bel ami vetiver is back on the site but both Equipage scents and Eau D’hermes have been removed.

Totally agree Sean... OG Viking from 2017 is an amazing fragrance... the fact I went through a whole 100ml bottle and then bought a 500ml decant from the year 2017 speaks volumes 🤌🤌🤌

After getting into Indi and Artisanal perfumery I sold off many of my designers and niche fragrances, as they don't interest me anymore! But Royal Oud and Viking, I'm thinking of getting backup bottles if I managed to hunt down older batches. They are so good, love your picks man! Great video...🙏

Myths Man smells like Soleil de Jeddah to me. I tested them side by side and there are some differences, but they smell more alike than different. I get no ash in Myths Man for some reason and it bothers me. I love both fragrances, with Myths being the slightest bit better. Side note, you definitely have the best fragrance channel on KZbin. If anyone says differently………well, you know what they can do. Never stop making content.

[@RamseytheRam]

Thanks for that bro.. believe it or not I have never smelled Soleil de Jeddah 😬 Its on the to sniff list 🐽

It’s much the same as Myths Man. I can definitely send you a healthy sample of you would like. I would be interested to know if you interpret it how I do.

Sheesh I didn’t even like it. I tried to get rid of them for so long. But nobody would buy them. But now I’m getting ppl who want to buy them from me at 3times what I paid. I don’t get it.

[@RamseytheRam]

The most challenging animalic fragrance I have ever smelled?! My God! I dont know because I generally L0VE animalic perfumes... what many perceive as stinky lr challenging appeal to me... i have to think on that Vlad... maybe something like HDP Rare Petroleum?🤔 I dont know let me sleep on it lol

@@RamseytheRam thanks. Maybe you can do a video on animalic fragrances?

[@minavamp2811]

the women fendi that you're talking about in your video came out in 1985 and not 1987. Profumo got it wrong. fragrantica and basenotes got it right. it came out in 1985. it was the first perfume launched by fendi. it now has been discontinued for more than a decade. it's going for $300 and above for 100ml. the alternative for women fendi is ungaro diva, which created by jacques polge, still in production. the difference is women fendi is more mossy leathery than ungaro diva, and not as feminine as diva. but they both are so similar to one another that if you can not find women fendi for a reasonable price you can find ungaro diva for $50. as far as ungaro diva goes make sure you get the vintage version and not the modern version, because the vintage version is way better.
