Great video, so much effort put and very informative. One noteworthy mention in this category could be Rasasi’s Boruzz line. Asrar Indonesia, Roh al Assam, Abeer Malaysia and Atheer Cambodi. All of them are unique and beautiful. This set can easily compete with The Spirit of Dubai range in complexity and quality of the materials. Unfortunately, not easy to acquire them in the Us.

Pure. gold... your content, Ramsey. Insane. The trove of information, each and every one you put out. I still need to get to the prior oud overview. Happen to also share a simliar view as you on Saffron for Ok-ness, for starters. Do you by chance notice any (slight) similarities between Nuit de Fau and Falkar? Some of Cavallier's work between both lines (espessially the ouds) remind me of each other too (bwdiknow🤷🏼♂), but I do appreciate them as I do the crafter ND. And have you tried Prolixe from Hist.dParfums? Another from them that's muy 👌- I've been hunting Ambrarem haha.

So I would like to think that Amouage uses natural oud oil because it would be pretty disappointing if not. Reminds me of how that overly sensitive ATH gay boy marketed dragon oud, which I never heard of either.

AHH I took it as Top Ten fakiest of fake ouds, how dare you call yourself an Oud fragrance. To which I would have said anything Oud by Tom Ford. As for what these fake ouds should be termed as I think anything with the name of Aoud! Once they start playing around with the ingredient name you know it's on a downward spiral. Best line I heard recently (Courtesy of Les Oderants). "It's the kind of fragrance that when I get a whiff of....I expect a twat to appear in my eyeline". 🤣🤣🤣 That's Tom Ford's for me!😆 Oud for greatness.....well I remember when I first started watching fragrance YT channels and wasted my time watching Fragmental...you know the guy that loves everything ( I wonder why)?🤔 He hyped that stinker to no end. The name was enough for me. It's really interesting that this topic comes up, Oud would never be mentioned before, now here we are. I wonder what will be the next 'in' accord? Cheers.
