be episode 11 of give me five i'm gonna
share with you and highlight my five
favorite fragrances from amaze if you
guys want to know what they are
stick around the video is coming up next
and today we're talking about the house
of vanuage in the give me five series
where i'm going to share with you guys
the five or the top five fragrances
within amwaj in my opinion of course
my personal taste what i love about
these give me five videos is because you
guys also enjoy them
which is like a mini gbu which is the
top requested video on this channel
which is a good bad ugly of a particular
brand where i highlight pretty much the
whole fragrance collection
but these are like mini gbu so i'm going
to give you guys a quick background on
the house of amwaj which happened to be
the first brand that i came in contact
with back in 2009 2010
as far as niche goes that's when i
really started my journey into the niche
world of fragrances and
there's a fragrance here within this top
five that's very near and dear to me
because it was my first experience
within a niche fragrance
so let's start with the background of
amwaj amawaj is a fragrance brand that's
been around since 1983 they are
originated from the umand
middle east currently they have over 95
fragrances in their portfolio starting
back dating in 1983 with first
fragrance that was called amwaj gold um
they had a very big and very important
uh you know brand director or creative
director as it were here in a fragrance
community called christopher shawn which
was their director for 12 plus years
and gave us extraordinary iconic
fragrances
within the last you know 10 years or so
but now the brand has
restructured and they now have a new
creative director of the creative
uh of experience direction which happens
to be renault salmon that i had the
pleasure
to interview for you guys and i'll pop
that up here so you guys can check out
that interview if you haven't yet
to really get to understand and find out
in depth
about the house of homage but in today's
video it's going to be all about
the five fragrances that i do love and
do enjoy from this particular brand so
let's get into that just so you guys
understand if you're really
clicking on an emulation video for the
first time the the scent profile
characteristics the main characteristics
the main character of amwash fragrances
is pretty much
extracting elements from the middle east
stuff like
agarwood of course the ood is very
present in these fragrances
frankincense which is they're very well
known in the oman region
for having the best frankincense so
that's pretty much that
what you will find within their
fragrance genres and classification it's
going to be
an abundance of those oriental spicy
middle eastern
components and elements and the first
fragrance that they created which was
called amawaj gold was created by
ghee which was a great perfume a master
perfumer
in 1983 and he also had work just so you
know the nose of this guy he worked with
armaz
and he worked also with dior so needless
to say they definitely made an impact in
the niche world from 1983 up until this
point
and i consider unwise to be one of the
pillars one of the
pinnacle of great niche fragrances
as it were all right so this is in no
particular order all five fragrances are
amazing they are my favorite fives that
i reach out for the most within
the amaze collection or platharot
fragrance starting with this first pick
here which is
reflection man released in 2007 this
particular fragrance is definitely
my first niche experience as i talked to
you guys about in the beginning of the
video
released in 2007 i purchased a bottle of
this in late 2009
absolutely felt head over heels it's a
great woody floral musky fragrance
tremendous note of jasmine here
beautiful if you like jasmine you're
gonna love this stuff
it's fruity it's floral it's woody and
it's also spicy
i like to describe this as a superstar
fragrance that's very sensual and very
becoming it's a very elegant and
sophisticated scent one that you can
dress up and dress down but one thing is
for sure
you're going to smell like a million
bucks reflection man here's my first
pick
next up here at this point is the
fragrance really growing on me i did a
full review for you guys i'll pop it up
here so you guys can check out that
review
and it's actually a fragrance that is
the first flanker that amwaj has ever
produced
i do enjoy the original interlude man
but i think black iris is really growing
on me
i think interlude man is really a beast
it's very strong it's very bold it's
very smoky
very resonance this stuff here is also
very bold and very resonance and very
smoky but
if this when they added this black iris
to the composition it just added this
really beautiful facet that's almost
nutty give me like a hazelnut type of
type of a vibe to the scent it becomes
more creamy more nutty and definitely
more wearable so i'm really looking
forward to wearing this fragrance
this coming winter i think it's
definitely going to be in my top 10.
and at this point interlude will take a
back seat to this fragrance just because
i'm saying this is a little bit more
wearable and it's also in the same
vicinity in the same vein like they
could be twin brothers there's a
minute differentiation here again with
that black iris that adds this
nuttiness to the fragrance and also
creaminess i think this is more creamy
it's more
nutty but it's also more wearable it's
still a great scent it's still beast
at the second half the second spot
interlude man
black iris third pick here is a
fragrance that's fit for a king a lot of
people love this fragrance it makes a
tons of top niche lists
not so much as of late but i absolutely
love this as you can see here i wore a
lot of this juice i do have a
newer formulation with the magnetic cap
this is a vintage formulation with the
ivory cap
love the stuff this is a fujier but an
oriental take on the fujier they took
the fujier
you know fragrance you know character
and added all these beautiful resinous
dried fruits there's a note of plum in
here
blackberries obviously the frankincense
a little bit of food added
all these middle eastern components that
i talked about in the beginning making
this an outstanding
superstar and a scent fit for a king
jubilation 25 or jubilation man
definitely one of my favorites from a
mirage one that i cannot do without
this fourth choice here in my opinion
happens to be
the most underrated fragrance from
homuage
and the reason why i say that is because
it doesn't really get much talk but in
my opinion it's definitely a masterpiece
and the fragrance is going to be of
course memoir man a memoir man is going
to be as
dark as they come you have a gorgeous
boozy note of absinthe up top
this is a leather base scent which also
encompasses incense
spices of course an absinthe up top
which just makes this into like
next level leather guys incredible it's
resinous it's spicy
it's it's very leathery this is beastly
as beastly as it gets it's going to be
up there like your inner lewd man
it's definitely another beast the black
beast but definitely one that will
make you smell like a million bucks i
love that leather and the spices
with the absinthe booziness to it it's
just very unique very intriguing
very mysterious juice at that at the
fourth spot
memoir man next up at the fit spot the
final pick here is a fragrance that i
remember very vividly in 2014 when it
was first
released how much buzz it got in here in
the fragrance community everybody wanted
to get a bottle everybody wanted to
review and wear this stuff because
the juice is just magical and the
fragrance we're talking about here is
journeyman it'll literally take you on a
journey just a gorgeous scent
that everywhere at the base it's spicy
it's fruity it's definitely smoky
but it's definitely very wearable and
it's very very elegant guys you guys
know how much i love vetiver this one
here has done
very well not to say you know reflection
also has some vetiver and cedar at the
base
and sandalwood but the vet over here it
really pops it's very smoky but it's
also very elegant very sophisticated
all in all journeyman is going to be a
tobacco-based scent that's woody and
spicy with vetiver
spices dried fruits of course there's a
little bit of food here
just a great scent very elegant very
sophisticated as well
as all of the unwashed fragrances i
think you can attach the fact that
they're going to be long-lasting they're
going to be powerful scents
and they all going to have this really
mysteriousness about them this very
uh daring aspect about them that really
makes them a standout niche fragrance in
my opinion definitely sits in the top
10 favorite niche fragrances of all time
in my opinion if you haven't gotten into
this fragrance
brand reflection is a great segue into
the brand or journeyman i think it's a
more wearable scent of course
jubilation if you want something a
little more dark on the other end of the
spectrum
you can look at stuff like interlude man
black iris or
memoir man which will take you to that
really dark and resinous and
very extraordinary daring and very
mysterious kind of a facet
if you like smoky scents these guys will
definitely do the job but
outstanding fragrance brand one that i
really urge you guys to check out
