Scent Salim Oud Shop Visit

[@JoeSCENTMe]

You know how I love my Oud. I hope some day to visit this shop

[@FRAGMENTAL]

That would be awesome. They own a cafe next door that does great food too!

[@JoeSCENTMe]

FRAG-MENTAL then it’s a date 😉

[@adama.3178]

Any oud fragrances that you guys believe are a must have ?

[@UnknownChap]

Fantastic video lad 👍 Great to see the enthuiasm from everyone in it , and the knowledge they shared is so intresting and i'll be doing alot of googling today 👌

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Robert. It was so interesting to learn about where scents and perfumes originated.

[@coreymichael1880]

Mr. Salim is so knowledgeable and passionate - you can tell by his energy. A man who is passionate about his craft for sure and the quality of his products tells you everything. Loving the Tropical Rough.

[@fnaticmedia]

Great review as always Chris (y) I appreciate your time to visit and show your subscribers especially who are not aware of natural ingredients (e.g. oud). I have tried a couple of them when I visited India. IMHO for any nose, if it's hard to appreciate the complex niche/indie perfumes instead of crowd-pleasing perfumes (like Creeds, TFs, Amouages) it's 10x harder to accept/appreciate (forget to apply) any pure natural scents like Musk, Oud, Rose, Vetiver.

[@PaulWilday1]

Amazing place, love their passion for it.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Very passionate!!

[@MadAzn53]

Not a huge fan of Oud but I wouldn't mind visiting this shop. I love Mr. Salim's collection of Amouage, and his story. This was extremely enjoyable and hope you do more of these visits.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Mike. Yes I'd love to do more field trips!

[@dylanthedyslexicvillain4294]

Great video I live very close I visited the older shop which is shut down now I was wondering what had happened to him I’m really glad to see he is still in business, I bought a few Oils from him and smelled the piece of ambergris he had and the Cambodian oud, it was a very good experience I didn’t smell the dear musk I think I’m going to go back to smell that though

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Dylan!

[@terryhollifield9343]

This looks like an amazing shop to visit, Chris. So glad you got to experience so many exquisite and precious raw materials. That type of thing is a dream for most of us. Congrats!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes, so many amazing treasures!

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

Wow ......Insane prices.....GREAT VIDEO

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thank very much 👍

[@WSF176]

What a remarkable video. Content like this is such a joy to watch. Absolutely stellar stuff my man.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks, glad you liked it 👍

[@Hititup2121]

Great video bro, alot of different fragrances to try out and I hope you enjoy them all. I hope you have a great day.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks bro. Nice shout out from JF today!

[@sergioteixeira]

Brillant video. The shop looks like a treasure room filled of all kind of wonders. Awesome.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

That's exactly what it is!

[@machoka777]

Wish Nikhil , accompanied you. Would have been cherry on top😊

[@mrmir8914]

Why is the guy moving back and forward? Watch it 14mins

[@moshahidali8928]

I went and bought Sultan, London Oud and Kalimat as you said you liked them. Very disappointed with Kalimat, it doesn't last long or project much. A far better option is the version from Perfume Parlour, less than half the price with double the performance. Sultan is a another copy of an Attar that I also own, this copy again is not a very good copy. For half the price you can buy these attars that give better performance. Try Al Rehab Sultan which is much cheaper and projects like a beast for hours. London Oud seems to be the only one that I can say was ok but nothing new, they've taken a traditional attar and increased performance on it. Overall, I don't believe this company is providing anything extra. Maybe I'm saying this as I have access to many of these attar shops in London.

[@mrmir8914]

Al rehab sultan is good scent.

[@moshahidali8928]

Bro, you need to visit perfume Parlour and show as what they're all about. I am one of your first few followers, you got me into PP which is now saving me a lot of money. Thank you

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes it would be interesting to visit PP. Maybe one day! Thanks for sticking with me bro👍

[@mrslissyloo]

Great video, so insightful, and the guys who own Scent Salim are clearly driven to bring the best quality oud in to the UK market, i'm going to pay them a visit me thinks!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Natasha. Yes they work very hard to source high quality natural ingredients.

[@Hrangue]

I'm going to rock with Scent Salim ASAP, they look official.

[@ahmetindere4726]

Amazing video. Need more content like this

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks DD!

[@veritasvincit2745]

Nice one. I enjoyed this. Makes you appreciate the skill that goes into crafting fragrances. People think that it's a case of mixing up a bunch of ingredients but there's demonstrably more to it than that. I have a very small amount of pure ambergris and it pongs like God awful halitosis and floor polish and yet when it's blended by someone who knows their art it metamorphosises into something very pleasant and appealing.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I found it very interesting to experience some of the natural ingredients.

[@TheDervish79]

A great video indeed, really rare video over net . Thank you bro👍🏻😊

[@FRAGMENTAL]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@qaidikramuddin]

Well done. It's good they invited you and good your made the video. Now we know where to get deer musk from.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Haha yes

[@Aman-nl2vz]

Sent them an email asking them about deer musk, they didn't even bother to respond... First impression of this store was really bad unfortunately

[@mrmir8914]

They don't reply and also they don't have time.

[@scentsalim]

Hi. Please do email [e-mail] and our team will respond

[@ismailm123]

Why have I not come across Scent Salim before lol. Many thanks for this video loved it definitely going to pay MR Salim a visit, better get saving first!

[@o2xb]

Wow, great video Chris!!! Finally, a place up north selling the best oud oils and attars the world has to offer. Definitely need to pay them a visit!!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Glad you liked it!

[@EdwardvanBerkum]

Fascinating shop and information! Great video FM

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks EVB 😉

[@amyasveil]

That was really good bro! It’s great to actually see you getting your nose on some of these gems 😀

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Amyas. It was a fun trip!

[@TalknReview]

Great video mate really liked this one, I’m going to be reviewing a few of their products soon. They are very strong!! Keep smashing it

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Oh great! I look forward to your review!!

[@SMDH.2204]

Mrs bought me sample set for bday. Awesome stuff!!

[@14me]

Nature is the Ultimate Luxury! And it come with a price tag! Tkx to both.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

You're welcome. Some of their oils are very reasonably priced though!

[@2ScentsWorth]

Extremely interesting mr mental enjoyed the different direction of this video 👍👍👍

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Just seeing this! Thanks mate 👍

[@stefaniamirri1112]

wohooo! you allowed us to enter in a NOSE place!!fantastic video!! thank youuU!!!

[@markymark458]

great guest! very informative and eager to share his knowledge with you and your viewers. i hope you get to spend more time with him and share this high amount of info and history. loved it. great friendly guy.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes he was a very gracious and generous host. He even provided us with lunch!

[@RustyCohle]

Have you bought some of that Cambodian aoud to balance out the florals in your own creation that you formulated some months ago? Chuck a few bottles in to give it some oomphh!!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Great idea! That would provide just the kick it needs. Maybe a bucketful full of Castoreum too!

[@anton1971]

How lucky you are !!! 👍👍👍

[@moshahidali8928]

Great video as always bro

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks bro 👊

[@ScentitarFragrance]

Love this video and your efforts. I have to save up. The special strong scents in small affordable amounts make great gifts

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. Yes their oils would be excellent gifts 👍

[@ndsmith7119]

What a place! A treasure trove. Quick question I've been to the website. The only two of their own spray fragrances I can see are London oud and Friday oud. Can't see the Kalimat Oud, apart from the Arabian Oud version. Is that the one you mean?

[@ndsmith7119]

Oh, and how would you describe London Oud? How Oud-y/wearable is it? Ta.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

London is very wearable and not a strong Oud at all. A small amount gives massive projection! On the website use the search box for 'Kalimaat'. The Arabian Oud and Scent Salim' s original come up.

[@moshahidali8928]

Don't bother with Kalimat, buy the version from Perfume Parlour, the spry and oil of PP is much better in projection and longevity.

[@moshahidali8928]

@avgrim77 thank you, I will try the Swiss Arabian original version. I also noticed the oil being very watery. These guys are way too expensive for what they're supplying, you can buy better quality from any local Attar shops for less than half the price.

[@coreymichael1880]

@@moshahidali8928 what is the PP version called please?

[@M.Audu435]

Brilliant video, I want to drive up there once restrictions are lifted. Only problem is I wouldn't know where to start in terms of what fragrance to look at. Do you have any tips in order to not waste their time. The only oud fragrances I have worn are a couple Tom Fords and Colonia Intensa oud by Acqua di Parma.

[@AllAboutFragrance]

*Great video Chris!!!* Really well done!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks V much Josh 😁

[@Yusisupply]

Another great video mate ,I need to visit this place , this is some hardcore stuff ,keep it up 😇

And it barely had any scent!

I can get a little addictive. Don't spend beyond your means Ann!

[@Comfortinscents]

What a lovely and interesting visit! Great video thank you!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@timweed7954]

Great review Chris, some of those scents scare me 😆 I could see your face some of them are way to strong. Its interesting the things they use for perfumery. Have a great Sunday ✌👍

[@o2xb]

That's why a lot of those pure oils are diluted with either alcohol or sandalwood base..Musk gland on its own is very pungent and is an extremely unpleasant scent until its diluted with the above

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes pure oud is too strong for me. I prefer the ones where oud is more in the background.

[@timweed7954]

@@FRAGMENTAL I agree with you on that!

[@Garden-of-Eden893]

thanks for sharing the experience

[@gg41r]

I enjoyed that. Im not usually into anything that isnt designer, but that vid was real interesting.

[@LogicPak]

Amazing .

[@connoisseur1015]

This style video is freaking awesome!!!!

[@Aman-nl2vz]

Wait a minute.... Their oud is the same as the one tom ford uses? Tom ford don't use natural oud.. 😐

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I'm not sure actually

[@o2xb]

How would you know if they use real oud or not? As far as I know, Tom Ford don't make pure perfume oils, therefore the oud they use would be extremely minimal and diluted down by alcohol and other fixatives anyway

[@davidsugar2040]

Great interesting video amouage DS my favorite house I got 7 bottles from them looking to get more wish I could be there lol dont know if we have anything like this in us

[@davidsugar2040]

@avgrim77 lmao my friend does have many frags so he came over and grabbed interlude man and did 8 sprays not knowing how strong it is next day he said him and his gif had massive head aches lol that will teach him to grab my stuff without asking me

Lovely vid. Could have watched more.

Oh thank you 🙂

[@MaresApple]

A shame I didn’t have time (or enough interest at that point) to check Scent Saleem out before moving away from Leeds. I even had their address and a list of fragrances to try in my diary... Would have been an interesting experience.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I could have stayed much longer just chatting about the fragrance world!

[@joecochran7797]

I'm sure you could've stayed there for hours. It seems like you received a bit more education in the world of perfumery too. Great video!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Certainly did. Invaluable experience!
