Ramsey, I think your channel would improve with some time-stamps. Hour long episodes are a bit daunting.

Hehey! The video i was waiting for. Good timing as well before the single bottle release tomorrow. Great informative review! Thank you 🐏!

How did I miss this live stream?!!!!!! lol this why you're the goat. Or rather the Ram.

I wish Adam went back to 30ml bottle personally, firstly they would be cheaper which I’m sure everyone would appreciate, also he would have more juice to go around meaning more people could get them, I understand the production cost are more but I would happily have a plan bottle in a plan box if I could have more bottles. This collection was the first time I missed getting a sample set as they sold so quickly. I know blind buying ALD isn’t really risky as I’m sure I’d love them all but it’s still better to sample first 😢

AMAZING REVIEW 🔥💥🔥

Sorry I wasn't able to catch the live stream, Ramsey. I did listen to it to hear your thoughts on the Musk Collection. Great review for initial impressions. I was able to score the Full Set, and anxiously awaiting UPS to deliver it as I type this. Looking forward to the next live stream!

Ngl, I like the smell of skunk oil. I'm in the PNW and it's a pretty common thing to smell in the fall and winter. It's weirdly nostalgic to me. The hemp would seemingly go well with skunk as they share some notes.

Ahhggg. Yup,that's how I do people like that too. Civet de Nuit had vintage civet in it. I thought it would have been more like Kouros. Now we know. Honestly, if Russian Adam came out with an uber civet, musk and oud, people would complain because it was unwearable. Going to pick up Cuirtis.

I got Cuirtis and it does remind me of War and Peace. In the dry down of Cuirtis, maybe you didn't get there in your review, the Animalic castoreum becomes heavy. Even more than War and Peace. I'm getting a 1.5 ml of Antiquity. Glad I will be able to finally try it.

I've been studying Creme de la Creme for a possible purchase in the future. Thanks for your review, as I feel it's accurate, and makes me lean towards a purchase, Ram. I love the heavy hitters, but I have War and Peace, Curtis, Ottoman Empire... But t I like great herbal frags as well. Dior Granville us my signature for Summer and #1 green frag. I liked Al Majmua the best from Attar collection. So I am shopping for a great Areej that's not one of the heavy hitters. Would like Indolis or Whalima. Maybe Creme de la Creme, would fit as, "now for something completely different", as Monty Python used to say .. I like a great sandalwood, Creed Boise Portugal is my #1 sandalwood.

Missed the stream but thanks for doing an overview. Hope I can get Curtis since I love leather. I am excited to hear more about the new Papillon fragrance and the interview with Liz Moores! I got Anubis after listening to the first interview and loved it. Now I own two other ones and can’t wait to try the new one.

I'm glad I ordered the forbidden flower when it came back on sale, sounds awesome.

I can see the use of heavy florals in paradise soil , forbidden flower ! But I believe that’s the way it should be ! His goal was to do a complete composition and not just to make animalic bombs ! Musk collection is a true winner for me 🤩 Cuirtis & Royal Barn being my favourites ! I’m happy you’re getting those 2 👌✌️and also waiting for individual detailed reviews my brother

I have the full set of bottles and Creme de la Creme seemed soft and underwhelming on my wrist, but when I wore it it completely blew me away...surrounded in a cloud of bliss all day and the dry down is so complex because a cherry cola tobacco vibe comes out all in this mystical aura of salt . It is similar to Roja's Kingdom of Bahrain in that it combines sage, Ambergris and Oud and has a semi-gormand dry down, although KB has a lot of citrus in the opening.

Already sampled Cuirtis, absolutely loved it, 10/10 in my books. Now i have Royal Barn on the way, i hope i like it just as much :)

Happy to report, made the order for Royal barn 👏🏻 I had planned on getting Creme da la cream bec I love ambergris but the feedback didn’t motivate me about. This time I made sure to order on the first minute not the third 🤣 I still can’t believe how fast the sample set was sold out

Cheers Rams, delighted for your wonderful gifting bottles,really deserved. Now so much mixed review comments on this line is a little disconcerting?? . I was just going to grab a bottle of Forbidden Flower but on listening to this live and the comments I may do a switcharoo to Royal Barn as it is a go to genre and wheelhouse scent for my taste, appreciate the heads up my friend bravo 👏🏻 great honest and fair impression of the line 🙏✌️👍

Hello, Ramsey. I purchased and received today 1 bottle of Areej le Doré Cuirtis. I just got back at home from work and saw a parcel on my concrete pavement behind the fence (05.04.2024). It was from Omar Le from Netherlands… I have opened the parcel on a video. It’s a bottle of Cuirtis, the black box with letters C&T is damaged from falling to concrete pavement, but the bottle looks good, not crashed. In the parcel box there wasn’t any protection inside, only one sheet of A4 paper. I’m shocked from this DHL delivery, it’s absolutely awful. I will tell this in our video. We’ll try to film it on this Saturday of Sunday. And the tracking number is different than I received in email from Areej le Doré, but the name and address are mine. I have no any notifications on my phone or e-mail about that this parcel is delivered to me, no one called or wrote me from delivery company…

I'm waiting for the full set of five bottles 💥💥💥💥💥

Haha i'm only at the beginning of the video, maybe it was the wrong day to wear a white shirt 🤭 really like your videos, I will enjoy this one!

I love the house but hate their shipping, I am in EU and they struggle to send, and now will have to wait for the full set from Indonesia, its frustrating seeing people get their set in 3 to 4 days in EU and its been 2 weeks for them to only say they cannot ship for wtv reason and need to wait god knows however long.

I really want to pick up the skunk oil one...

I actually like the heavy florals in this collection . I missed your live by 2 hrs

I'd be terrified to spray anything on such shirt or even just move around 🙂lol I was curious to sample this collection, got an email that it's available, casually checked website and it was all sold out and I'm like meh, I'm not playing that game, not ready to sit by the clock and jerk the refresh button. Some (many) things in life are just passing by, can't smell it all. Thinking of splurging on a musk pod though...

Hi Ramsey, I heard this Musk collection was all sold out. But I looked on the Areej le Dore site, and they still have Curtis for $300. I have war and Peace, and I'm not a big leather fan. So I'm passing on it.

Ramsey, I have a question? I have only smelled Russian Oud from Areej. I have a bottle and quite like it. I am very much into ambery scents and don’t mind sweetness mixed with resinous bases. I don’t mind a little animalic, but not an overdose. I’m thinking Crème is the best one of this collection for me. I also Have never smelt real ambergris and am interested in that. I don’t have time to sample(and they’ve sold out lol). With the little description I gave which do you think would best suite my taste? Also do you know if you have to pay any import fees when you buy a bottle from Areej or is that included in shipping cost at checkout? I’m in the USA. I got my Russian Oud back when Luckyscent used to carry some of his offerings. Going to try for a bottle🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

In terms of Jasmine and Oud, how would you rate Oud Jasmine by Royal Crown? The most realistic and opulent jasmine I've ever smelled.

I actually thought Paradise Soil would be the first to sell out. I’m shocked that royal barn was so highly sought after. And then crème de la crème

Enjoying tfs

I tried to order the sample set, it was 3 minutes after releases and it was already sold out because I guess I wasn’t fast enough to put my shipping details amazing lol

Paradise soil is Russian Adam's favorite, that's all I gotta say

Royal Barn > Cuirtis ?!

Creme de la creme is the only one that seems interesting to me.

Excited for this video, thanks! SOTD is Norne by Slumberhouse

Have you decided on getting any of the single bottle release?

Can you please review Casablanca by St Claire?

I love your videos Ramsey. Your passion, charisma, and objectivity always shines through in your content. However, you do seem to lose the objectivity a little when it comes to Areej Le Dore 😉 Fragrance is subjective and I don’t doubt your love and enthusiasm for Russian Adam’s work. However, the way in which his fragrances are marketed and sold is genius from Adam’s perspective but shockingly unfair on customers. If Amouage deployed the same marketing techniques you would crucify them 🤣 Customers should be afforded the time to sample and critique before deciding whether or not to pull the trigger on a full bottle. However, sample sets are in short supply and are usually sold out within seconds. The only way to try his fragrances is via a very risky & expensive blind buy. Even that requires an incredible amount of good fortune. I have blind bought most of Adam’s releases in the last 2-3 years and have mostly been left disappointed. Beauty & the Beast and Siberian Musk are among the few winners but I have arrived at the conclusion that this brand is overhyped and overrated. I would take a mainstream niche house over Areej any day. Cheers!

Ramsey those divorces are killers to the pocket ..

The English king you speak about was Henry VIII.

After saying all that i'm rolling the dice and going for a Cuirtis bottle, ha... my main point was Russian Adam's work used to spectacular, but now it's more like very good, and if you ranked all his work, the last few collections would easliy be at the bottom of the pile for the majority of fans. PS, not wanting to spread misinformation, i got it a little mixed up about the 'musk duck' the scent gland isn't on their head, it's on their rump, and the males rub musk oil onto their head and bill lobe. Now, i just need to find a trapper in Australia to milk some ducks 😂

Ughh Santal 33 has got to be the biggest pile of crap perfume ever
