    Default The World\'s Greatest Perfume

    You all wanted an answer to the question of the finest perfume, and here mine is.

    Amouage.

    I\'m almost finished saving my money for it, but have already gone through a few samples. This perfume, whether the men\'s or women\'s formula, is to die for.

    A perfume of kings and queens, speaking literally, it is devastating as a romanic attractant. It is virtually flawless.

    It is almost purely natural, if not absolutely so, and contains all the finest and rarest substances of perfuming, including the finest and rarest silver frankincense, myrrh, rock rose, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood, peach, and lily of the valley. It contains real civet, ambergris, and deer musk (the ancient, mystical aphrodisiac combination), and the finest versions of these! The animal fixatives give the perfume incredible lasting power.

    Its powdery, musky finish is the perfect complement for all pheromones. For those of you that think there is some kind of magic to the baby powder scent, this is sorcery indeed!

    It is in a different class altogether than any of the perfumes or colognes discussed in this forum (not that some of those aren\'t excellent). The formula was 2000 years in the making. The new Dia version (which is not even my favorite version for men) has been called \"the greatest accomplishment in the history of perfuming\" by experts, partially because it took 200 years just to get this certain kind of rose into it in just the right way when the prized rose was a certain number of minutes old. Many of the finest cathedrals and temples use it for ceremonies.

    Amouage, which means something like \"waves of emotion\" in French, was commisioned by the Sultan of Oman to revive the lost perfuming tradition of the region. The Sultan told one of the greatest French Masters, who had created perfumes fo Chanel, Hermes, and others, to \"spare no expense.\" So he didn\'t.

    At $200.00 a pop, it is a bargain. The company loses money on it at this price, but continues to offer it out of respect for the tradition. For men I like the original version for attracting women, and for women I like either the original version, or the \"Dia\" version; which is for day wear and has a more prominent rose note.

    The original bottles are made of gold. It is for the most special of occasions. You will smell very rich, in both senses of the word.

    By the way, since this the phero forum, I should note that the first time I wore it, a 38 year old woman I never met before invited me back to her house after an hour long conversation. She mauled me with sloppy kisses as soon as we walked through the door, and told me she wanted to lick me all over. She kept jamming her nose against my wrists swooning over the smell (\"Ooooohmygaaaawd!\"), so I think the perfume had a lot to do with it. I left with my pants intact out of not wanting to hurt her feelings down the road, but she had already left a message on my machine by the next morning asking me out. By the way, I discovered later I was wearing the women\'s version.

    Oh, and here is the link, in case anybody is interested:

    You are correct. Gold and Dia are on sale. 90 Eu for the

    ladies purse sizes and 282 Eu for the ladies 50ml bottles. Sadly, I don't see anything for us guys.

    On a

    related note, I did manage to score a 10 ml decant for Silver Cristal for some $10 a few months back. The stuff is

    like heaven in a bottle, to my nose. I didn't care for Gold, but then, I'm a 30 year old. I have class and

    sophistication coming out the butt when I need it, but even I can't pull that one off at my age.

    I'll say it again "NOTHING" can beat

    this stuff.
    I used it two weeks ago on a blind date and got some action the same day.
    Thats 3 for 4 if anyone

    is keeping score, added 2 drops of SOE she was sniffing me like a police dog.
    I used it last week with and old

    friend and she started to joke asking me if I was available for booty calls.
    I have a date with a Vietnamese girl

    on Saturday and you can bet your life that I will be wearing Amouage in my panty dropper mix.

    The box said Silver Men, but I have a feeling it was Gold EDT because it smells very similiar

    to the Gold that I already have. It was a new tester that I bought at half price so there was no lable

    markings.

    perfumeries are now offering Amouage products.

    scents as they're probably not used to the limited exposure as opposed to those heavily advertised scents. I will

    try to get the samples for my own collection though. It's pricey but worth it.

    I think

    Amouage Dia would be welcomed even in Southeast Asia.

    I'm not so sure. I searched

    for hours looking for a cheaper price for the Dia version. I couldn't find it for less than $205. I ended up buying

    it from www.parfumsraffy.com for $215. Got it in the mail today, and I must say the scent is absolutely

    godlike. This is going to be a real attention getter from the ladies

    So, I'm getting ready to break

    down and buy some Amouage this week (probably tonight if I can get out of work early enough to make it to Parfums

    Raffy before they close).

    My last question is do I get Dia or Gold? I like the smell of Dia better, but if

    women like Gold better I should probably get that. Gold is too soapy and powdery for my taste, but I'm not buying

    it for me but for women (and I'm not expecting any life changing experience).

    You know, honestly, I might like

    the woman's gold the best on me. So I'd just try them all and pick the one you like on yourself, but also

    solicit feedback from others.

    People generally favor DIA. Gold may

    have more pheromone analogs in it. Tough choice.

    I may buy the Gold after I get my

    samples in the mail. Dia will blow you away. It's definitly the most sophisticated and enchanting fragrance that's

    ever graced my nostrils. I'm certain the ladies are going to love it. I bought this exclusively for parties and for

    social events where I'm going to be around a lot of girls. But I'm going to test it out at work tommorow. Thanks

    for introducing this to us, Doc.

    Amouage recently sent out a press

    release which mentioned how it has become a hot topic on internet forums. All do to Doc. The man got his gold

    nabbed from his car and doesn't even have it anymore, but he certainly started a revolution.

    Dia has become my daily staple

    and I am constantly getting comments about the fragrance. If you can spring for the expense - it's definitely

    worth it.

    Krypto.... How many sprays do you use

    and where do you apply?

    Default Fuse

    2-3 sprays. One on the

    wrists rubbed together; one on the chest and/or the neck. It tends to linger a long time - although I have freshened

    it (one short spray) after a long day of work.

    BTW - for those looking to buy, the salesperson remarked that the

    GOLD lasts longer. It has a much fuller/heavier scent.

    Interesting. I can still smell the Dia when I get into the shower the next day, so Dia (at my

    usual 4-6 sprays) lasts at least 24 hours on me. And it seems to spread itself around. I have been told a number

    of times that my baby niece smells like me whenever I wear the Dia.

    My wife said something

    similar the first time I wore it - but it has definitely grown on her.

    I went to Parfums Raffy and

    sprayed Dia on one wrist and Gold on the other. Hours later the Gold didn't loose any of it's strength but the Dia

    was somewhat diminished.

    I was actually trying to get the Gold off (because I like Dia better) with a paper

    towel and water and it still didn't seem to lessen.

    Gold has heavier notes, more basenotes.

    That is the reason why it appeals to less people I guess. Dia is lighter. I think young women - and men - much

    favor the dia.

    There's never much talk about the silver or the ciel or the others. I'd like to hear more

    about those.

    I didn't mean to imply I

    thought the Dia would last as long as or longer than the Gold. I just meant to point out that Dia lasts a very long

    time. I can imagine Gold would be a very strong scent on the basis of the comparison.

    Well, a young

    sales girl at Etoile in Houston kept trying to get me to buy the Ciel this year, but I stayed with Dia because I do

    like it better and because Ciel reminded me of Creed, which I already have.

    This sure has been an

    interesting read ...I see many people from the forum here have sent for and received samples. Did any of you ever

    pay for your samples or did you all get them for free? even no shipping costs?

    On the

    www.amouage.com site I see the samples cost from 18 to 25 Euro.. I will not be buying the fragrance this

    year, because with such a high price I would have to add 24% norwegain taxes to it.. which would make it even more

    expensive If I've understood it correct the Australian customs aren't as bad as in Norway, so I will

    consider buying it when I get down under, but until then it would be great to get a sample and see if it really is

    to my liking.. I really don't have much experience with perfumes and my nose isn't really good, but I do love the

    smell of Chikara

    Anyways, did everyone get the samples for free and is there some way to still

    get them for free, or is my best shot to order the samples at 18 Euro? (if so I will wait till I get to Australia

    and don't have to pay extra taxes on it..)

    They stopped shipping free supplies

    because of the demand.
    At least that's what I'm lead to believe.

    Oki

    Guess I'll wait

    till I travel then, and if possible I'll get to the shop in london and smell it (i've got 9 hours waiting on

    the airport or something).
