Thank you very much Ramsey! I'm honored that you took my advice on this video, and in such a short time, literally overnight. You are the best, truly. Great choices though as usual. Leather Oud unfortunately I can confirm that in Italy it has been officially discontinued for about a couple of months. The best always leave...Thanks again and have a nice day :)

Excellent Listing (from what I have seen so far - exhausted). Though I will finish later, I do feel that nothing you do is like anyone else. If you were to do a top 20 Summer list, it would be nothing like your compatriots! Thank you for this video. Cheeers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

[@RamseytheRam]

Thank you so much my friend.... that is the best compliment you could give me 🍻

[@mandarinmelon]

This is so true. Before I started down the path proper I was watching *ahem* some less well informed content on fragrance. If I were to have stumbled onto Ram's channel by a "top ten fall fragrances" video. It would have saved me some very literal Ambermax and Timbrox headaches lol. In fact if Ramsey were to do this kind of thing more often, it would be a great service to newcomers to the Frag world while also making this an even more subversive channel.

[@SeldomlyOften]

What a time to be alive, Ramsey making a list video 😊

[@RamseytheRam]

Let's go!

[@mandarinmelon]

I LOVE your individual reviews, they're so informative. But I also love those "fragrance connection" videos, the interviews, the Not a Top Tens, ... All of it. I think your core viewership is more the intellectual/art-lover/historically-interested side of the fragrance world. Not snooty people, just discerning aesthetes with a love for learning. This is such a valuable channel in that way.

Next video: “Top 25 Pantydroppers” 😅 jk nice list, I have Fidelis, Promise and The Moon from this list. The coffee in Fidelis is indeed amazing, and I also think The Moon recently passed Promise as my favorite FM now. Only got a bottle of The Moon last month after wearing a couple of 2ML samples. What a week of nice videos, keep FM and beast stuff coming!! Cheers 🫡

Amazing video! So many loves of mine in there! To me, Des Cendres is another powerful, big perfume, such a great composition! And love how Le Lion and Diaghilev are powerful and at the same time not overwhelming, only Chanel and Roja can do this so posh with their own, distinctive style! Cheers!

Hello! Your review of Epic inspired me so much! I've never seen this type of fragrance review before. I'm talking about the description of the fantasies that arise from acquaintance with the composition of the aroma. I see these things the same way. I call a perfume good if it gives me these inner pictures. Men's Myths became an absolute discovery for me. I conducted an experiment introducing my loved ones to this scent. I noticed this trend - all people talk about different things, but always about happy memories. This aroma is so unique that it evokes in people not a feeling of smell, but memories of happiness or celebration. In Myths I see a theater curtain made of huge thick dark purple plush. It is ancient and dusty and soaked in incense. When it opens, instead of a scene we see an endless scarlet sunset sky with layered multi-colored clouds and red and gold sparks. The house of the same dragon from the cover. Myths smell like the curtain in this theater. And the curtains smell like this heaven of a good fairy tale. This is absolutely fantastic! I'm literally furious with what amouage is doing now. Under Chong, this was the art of perfumery of the highest standard, but now it is an ordinary mass market. Thank you if you read these many words to the end!

[@RamseytheRam]

Thank you for sharing these many words! I appreciate the beautiful comment

[@clefragguy]

Every Amouage fragrance I have seems to survive making it through the washing machine, and it's always a fun game to try and guess what it is when I put the particular item of clothing on again. ELDO Rein Intense incense is another that just persists for what seems like eternity!

[@RamseytheRam]

Yes you are the 2nd person to shout out Rien Intense... easily could have been on this list

[@TheSsseeeeee]

Another great one Ram, I thought you were going to include Rien's intense insense, I am a proud owner and got that thing is tenacious.

[@RamseytheRam]

Yes that could easily have been on the list... I love it but it is tenacious

[@dusanninic5372]

Brilliant list Ramsey ! Thank you and many thanks to Riccardo. I am looking at the bottle of Furyo and I'm sure we'll see a certain number of the most powerful designer fragrances that you have. From this list I love Promise, the Moon, Monsieur. , Interlude, Epic, Gold, Le Lion, Anubis and, of course, Diaghilev. Diaghilev is very cultured. The projection isn't huge, but the longevity stays for a day. A real Opera scent ! Scent Of The Night : Hugo Boss - Number 1 (a pigeons killer)

[@RamseytheRam]

🐦😵

[@scent_jeannie]

I had that experience with a BDK fragrance- washed my jumper and left it folded up in the spare room- walked in the next day and the whole room smelled of it- to be honest it put me off a bit! Great video as always and I know what you mean about the single reviews- dying art - glad you are here keeping it going Ram 🐏 💪🏽🙏

[@RamseytheRam]

I have never smelled a BDK frag but that is NOT promising

[@rupesigogo]

I own Fidelis and I love it!❤

[@RamseytheRam]

Gonna try and review it soon ... thanks for watching 🍻

[@dorianducker4802]

My preferences sit in between yours (more niche, discountinued, etc.) and mainstream frags. Like quite a few PdM when I can get them sub 200 bucks and Tom Ford and Dior as well. Love Amouage, getting a new Amouage for Father’s Day! My point is it’s fun to watch your different perspectives, takes, etc. so I can educate from both sides. A lot of designer stuff is pretty boring but there are some gems. You haven’t yet talked me out of my love for PdM LE, but you tried hard and were compelling. Learning a lot listening to you. Keep it up!!!your Antaeus review should be nominated for some sort of fragrance webby or whatever that is. Enjoy the ride!

[@RamseytheRam]

😂😂😂 I don't know what a webby is but I want one!

[@MrBouncingDeath]

Thanks again, I do not mind the more 'influencer' type videos, BTW summer is approaching, I need to pick your mind: what is your go to summer frag (on a normal summer day not super warm or super cool temps), my search is still going strong but I cannot find anything I really like as a summer fragrance. I do have Colonia Essenza that one is nice, but I would like to get something more niche. And that lasts a little longer on my skin, AdP is known for short lasting frags. Let me guess your top: beachhut man, sunshine man. Just curious so I can sample some more.

[@RamseytheRam]

Well summer in Texas is always Hot mate... I like wearing my Creeds in summer like Erolfa or GIT

[@MrBouncingDeath]

@@RamseytheRam no creeds for me, will not give them any money! The search will continue. SOTD Bel Ami, in the heat. Smells way different compared to wearing it in the winter months. Way more leather! Love it!

[@RamseytheRam]

That is fair

[@DaveNYC]

Fun AND informative. Good times! Last winter I put on Epic at 10 am and the girl who was ringing up my dinner at 7:00 across a large counter and me under a winter coat said, “You smell good. Like, REALLY good!” I was floored because I’d stopped smelling it. So, yeah, epic!

Ram - maybe you should film an introduction video for your channel? You could give an overview of what people can find on your channel and how they can navigate it to find some new things etc! I think you can put that up as a video that's on your starting page then, so people see that first 😊

[@RamseytheRam]

That's an interesting idea... I have no idea how to do that but I like the idea lol

[@ndhaon91]

[@kevinfessler6831]

I've never considered Ram or his channel as an "influencer", but rather a gent who loves fragrances and classic fragrances in particular......as I do. I think all of us who watch this channel know that it's a labor of love, and not a means of making income. No shade on those who do this for a living, but in the rare instances I watch those channels I do feel like they're "selling", which they have to do. Ram is "sharing".....there's a difference.

[@RamseytheRam]

Yeah I think of it that way too ... thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts Kevin 🍻

[@clemoore682]

Looking forward to the designer version… it would be lovely if you can get the names of the fragrances listed on the screen. Seasons they are best suited for

[@RamseytheRam]

I won't take the time to do names on the screen .. but they are in the description of each video 🙂

[@SeanHH1986]

i really want to try arso or papillon (either anubis or spell 125). ill have to sample them first before i drop 200+ bones, but they by all accounts sound worth it. p.s. got the unutamam lol...yeah dude its totally bizarre. best way to describe it is that its sort of an ode to oregano...i mostly just get super concentrated oregano. i dont think it projects enough to be on this list, but some people act like its the strongest thing ever made lol.

[@RamseytheRam]

Unutumam is like oregano caramel on a fougere with Lavender and strange dirty leather lol it's a hillarious fragrance but it's just weird

[@saabreplay7553]

I like big bottles and I cannot lie

[@RamseytheRam]

😂😂😂 TRUTH

[@Spicybasilleaf]

I'm not sure if the formula has changed, but my new bottle of man 2 (bought last year) last noticeably shorter than my 2009 bottle. Hopefully it just needs more air in the bottle, otherwise it's a shame as man 2 was my low key party/going out/at the club scent for decades!

[@RamseytheRam]

I got this older bottles from Anooj at Enchante... If they have changed that would be very very disappointing

[@Spicybasilleaf]

@@RamseytheRam hopefully it’s just a case of needing some maturation - I had a few recent bottles of Tom Ford and Lutens that needed some time to breathe. Will report back.

[@vlad.gorneanu]

Keep doing individual reviews & lists & by genre and... all of it. We realize that it is time consuming but truly , honestly your work is highly appreciated. For me personally watching you is kind of a....masochistic endeavor. Why? Because I love to discover fragrances through your nose but at the same time I fear that most of them I won't ever get to smell as you have a high amount of vintage or discontinued stuff. Thank you, sir ! P.S. Still researching a way to send stuff across from eastern Europe without costing an arm and a leg. Cheers.

[@TheAMVDJ]

I think Jacques Cavallier fragrances are next on my list to own. I love LV fragrances, but have hardly scratched the surface of say Bvlgari's Le Gemme collection or much of his other works. He's got quite the resume going back to Pasha, Opium Pour Homme, M7, just too many I like to not see what else there is.

[@RamseytheRam]

To be fair his early work you mentioned is miles apart from what he is releasing at LV or Bvlgari ... it's like a totally different style of perfumery

Thank you for the video Ramsey. Have you considered reformulations of those perfumes you listed? This can change things drastically; it would be very considerate and kind of you if you briefly recap which batches you have for those most powerful niche fragrances you listed in your next episode. Granted, not a lot of us have an unlimited budget, and going thru the trial and error, especially with niche brands, will end up very costly without having found the fragrances that are long lasting since we don't know the batches. And I think we all collectively agree, powerful fragrances that are worth buying and keeping are becoming more rare by the day. Thank you Ramsey, as always, grateful for having you here.

hi Ramsey! do you really consider Monsieur by Malle a powerfull scent? i'm asking these just because i love the scent but i find it lasts on me just a couple of hours, not much more.... honestly, more of the times, i can barelly detect it on my skin afther1 or 2 hours.. it's very cryptic scent on me, sometimes i think it has a kind of performance like the molecular scents, if you understand what i mean.. PS: epic men, on me, is maybe the weaker scent i ever tryed in my career :D

[@RamseytheRam]

Yes I consider them powerful scents

[@VitaminBeez]

I really hope some fragrance bro finds this video and thinks, "Hell yeah dude, beast mode panty droppers!" and winds up with a bottle of Amouage Gold Man. But then he secretly loves it and strays away from the darkness of Xerjoff and Parfums de Marley.

[@RamseytheRam]

😂😂😂 Stray away from the darkness Bro!

[@waqaskundi]

iam one of them that fragrance doesnt last even as a skin scent, so longevity is very important to me, i know you dont care about it personally, but there is a market segment that needs good scent that will last, longest lasting so far for me has been Oud for greatness 14 hours on skin, Aron terrance hughes OUD 12 hours , Amouage epic man less than 8 hours, and these are beast of fragrances

[@RamseytheRam]

Wow that's crazy... thanks for watching & sharing

[@EdsProlixe]

Enjoyed the list. I'd say it complements the more detailed takes rather than seeming out of place or influencery. Re; Arso. It's oily as Profumum Roma use an in house oil medium rather than alcohol! Personal faboirite from that house is 'Rosae Mundi'. It's a lot of rose, and more patchouli than god, as well as vetiver and cedar. It is, also, absolutely enormous. A simple composition, but the beauty lies in how it shifts as the ingredients develop and the interplay between them changes (and they're of high enough quality for that to be a worthwhile experience).

[@RamseytheRam]

Yes! I would love to smell that Rosae Mundi one day 🙂

[@EdsProlixe]
