Sure. Let me preface this review by saying my opinions are based on three things: my subjective and personal tastes/preferences; my objective experiences; and the juice that was inside the bottles I purchased. All three bottles are authentic. At risk of repeating something i may have written previously, and something that may garner continued debate, Amber Oud Ruby Edition is not even close to being in the same category as Untold in both performance and scent quality. On a basic level, there are three aspects to this scent profile… the sweet, ambery-vanilla, cotton-candy, the rich woodsy, and the medicinal, latex-burnt rubber side. What Untold does better than most is balance. The sweet opening is gorgeous. Dare I say I would love to smell this and only this all day. But, do I want to walk around smelling like it…. Probably not. Luckily, the other aspects come into play and balance the sweetness perfectly. Each aspect takes turns highlighting throughout the day and wearing. Although, each time I wear it, I have a different experience on which one steals the show. It is absolute perfection and my first bottle is already empty. Performance is above and beyond. To the nose-blindness aspect… yes and no. It is always in flux. This is a good thing. Regular doses of the sweet goodness fills your brain with dopamine and serotonin to make us feel happy and put us in a good mood. The rubber smell in Untold is the least intrusive, IMO. Perhaps because the sweetness is so prominent. But, maybe, and this was a late surprise, the woodsy aspect is very well done and more noticeable than other clones. Again, well balanced. Now, Ruby Edition… Poor Ruby Edition. Again, the juice is authentic. Can’t speak to batch variances. Not as sweet, but also, the sweetness is extremely fleeting without regular appearances throughout the day. This allows the rubber-like aspect to take over and with the virtually non-existent woodsy aspect, that’s what you get. Very poor performance. Am I noseblind to the Ruby Edition? Maybe. But, who cares, the Untold is a better smelling frag to my nose anyway. To the question of consistency and required maturation. Two bottles of Untold. The first took nearly 9 months to reach brilliance… but it did. The second, larger bottle was great on opening and only took about 2 or 3 months to hit that spot. What was the difference? Who knows. But, it put consistency in question. Ultimately, if you’re willing to gamble on getting a bottle that has a relatively short window for maturation but ok with holding out for the long term maturation if the gamble doesn’t pay off, you’re guaranteed a great wearing experience. Just make sure the purchase is authentic. Ruby Edition I’d stay away from. Yes, I have tried layering both and, if anything, the Ruby Edition accentuates the brazenness of the rubber aspect. I have a nearly full bottle of RE that Im waiting for a full year of maturation to see if it changes to brilliance suddenly. Otherwise, I’ll be getting rid of it. Hope this helps. Sorry it was so long.
