polls: favourite boutique colognes - amouage dia and gold, musc ravageur, royal oud

[jeremiahjames]

on these forums, i read about your standards like cool water

or D and G, or Creed git, and then your boutique, expensive fragrances and exquisite arabian royal ouds. and then of

course the 200 dollars bottles of Amouage Dia or Gold....so do ya sepnd 200 for boutiques or 70 for commercial or 70

on samples of the above boutiques? lol...very confusing

so poll ya favourites please, - ie. whose had great

successes cvering any of the boutiques with there mones?

1. Amouage range
2. Musc ravaguer
3. Body Khouros by

Yves St. Laurent
4. Royal Oud by Montale
5. Montale Black Oud
Montale Black Aoud This scent creation by Montale

from Kambodscha is made of patchouli-oil, tangerine, musk and fine rosenotes. Alltogether another masterpiece by

Pierre Montale. Oud is a precious oil from bark resin of Aquilara - known as Ud (also Ouf or Aoud) - oil. Only trees

of a certain age (50 years) deliver this essence.

so these r ya 200 dollar a pop products, but r there 2ml

samples for 30 dollars for 5 ouds or 4 amouages worth getting from the parfumraffy site?

7. Sexual by Michel

Germain....keep hearing amazing things from these forums about this product
8. Pheros of course.
9.Issi Miyake all

day roll on oil l'eau d'issey
10. Burbery Weekend -"TE/NPA 50/50 with burberry weekend or I. Miyake make young

women twitch..." to para-phrase Gegoji
11. Gucci Envy
12. Marc jacobs
13. Helmut Lung
14. guerlain

vetiver


My Conclusion? im obsessed with DST's opinion on Amouage Gold and the claim that Amouage Dia is "the

worlds greatest perume ever created" then again, wasnt this the company shpiel?

to para-phrase DLW : "Amouage

gold, 5AE, 1 PI, 2 wagg" and basically, if that dont work, then nothing will. cant remember his words but thats was

the sentiment.

and if Ouds smell anything like a314, then that'd be amazing as i love the smell of a314.

This whole cover scent matter

keeps coming up, and I'm glad. There are so many out there, and everyone has favorites. I like hearing about them

all.

As to the greatest perfume ever, that is purely personal. Amouage Gold and Dia are nothing less than

perfect, but there are other perfect fragrances. Pheros is a fragrance designed to work with pheromones, and is

just right with certain mixes and is very flexible, and is great on its own.

I may jump in with some favorite

covers later, but I think the best strategy is to experiment on your own and find out what works best for you, and

with the people you hope to influence. I think its important to blend the -mones with complimentary covers. Its

kind of an art form, but then so is using -mones effectively.

Let's not underestimate the importance of cover

scents. I had a woman sniff me out because she recognized the scent I was wearing, that led to a conversation and a

lot of sniffing on her part, during which she inhaled a lot of A7 and SoE. I was with a date that night, but had I

not been....

From my personal pheromone

diary:

6 drops SOE (U) + 1 drop A7 (U)+ Amouage Silver Colongue. The babe in front from where I

was standing plus the one beside looked like they wanted to grab me. The female Indian lady customer too were in

trance. Anonymous went into trance too! Most customers were rude though.

Amouage Dia in the morning

(without 'mones). Boobed like crazy! Lots of women turning towards me & smelling the magick!

The score

of triple pentacle. For a mix that truely delivers it's magick. IRM + Amouage CIEL. Was on a standby in ...

The women were super helpful. And when I was at the counter, a group of ladies were already staring at me. The girl

next booth invited me to lunch. Her name was anonymous We had a lot of laughs.

I think Amouge has

natural 'mones in it. Don't need any synthetic mones. Though they can still enhance the potion. I haven't any

luck with Amouge Gold though.

Amouage silver is the only one I

liked , I found all the others a bit over powering for me. But then I tend go very light on any fragrance.

Amouage is an Omani house and I think their scents reflect the middle eastern sensibilities of

fragrance. They will be heavier, richer and deeper in their overall wearing experience. In terms of popularity in

the west, they're the antithesis of the modern trend towards "light". Personally I like that. I like all of the

Amouage range, with a preference toward Gold.

Again, its all about preference, and there's no right or wrong,

with exceptions.

Interesting about the "natural mones" comment. The high cost of Amouage includes a high

natural ingredient percentage. The whole point of fragrance is attraction, and before synthetic pheromones that's

all we had. Historically (pre-1860 or so) perfumes were all natural, and wearers were dependent on the natural

attractants, "pheromones" if you will.

Yep, I get that.
Maybe I should have

written that I liked the others but "silver" was the one that grabbed me and made me think "now why can't other

fragrances have this sort of depth and originality." Seriously, when I'm a bit more cash friendly I intend to get

myself a bottle of it. (and the Doc's pheros!)

The one that grabs

you is the best.

Get your hands and nose on Pheros, you won't be sorry, and its very limited. I think you'd

like it, its so unlike anything else but so like every scent you always wanted. Its so darned comfortable and easy

to wear.

Speaking of... has anyone tried

the new Amouage Jubilation XXV?
