Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad to hear you resonate with my videos! ❤️🌠 I will talk more about masculine fragrances in the near future, I'm currently testing some 💫
Araak is such a beautiful fragrance. You are right it smells like a designer perfume but the longevity is so much better. Reminds me of the Caroline Herrera Blush scent accords
I'm glad to hear you enjoy it as well! 💫 Indeed, the performance is amazing, this is one of the many reasons I love this house - scent inspirations with their own unique twist and the majority have amazing performance. What other fragrances from Ahmed al Maghribi do you enjoy? Thank you for watching dear 🤗🌹
I love layering qaed al fursan unlimited with fruity perfumes. For example with Victorias Secret Bombshell. It mixes perfectly with yellow fruit and adds creaminess and debth / heavy vanilla to more linear fragrances. Absolutely beautiful!
Such a great tip, I appreciate it a lot!💫 I'll look into my collection for something with a similar vibe. Thank you for watching dear and thank you for the layering recommendation! 🌹❤️
I loved, loved, loved Qaed al Fursan Unlimited... I think it will definitely be one of my favourite fragrances! 😍 Finally a perfume with a realistic coconut in it, not too sweet but creamy and full.
I haven't even started to watch the video but I just have to say that you're my favourite perfume reviewer! I've tried two of your recommendations and they are my absolute favourite EDPs from my collection. Keep doing what you do, love 🌷💛 Edit:- I haven't tried QAF unlimited but from the description, it reminds me of the "Pastel Skies" range from Bath & Body Works. You can try pairing them.
Thank you so much my dear for your kind words, this means a lot to me! ❤️🤗🌹 What are the two fragrances you bought and love? I haven't tried anything from Bath & Body Works yet but I will look up Pastel Skies. Thank you for watching, much love to you as well 💓
I'm young so I enjoy sweet and feminine fragrances. I bought Eternia Armaf and Thulooj by Junaid and they're lovely. 💛 I've gotten so many compliments when I wear Eternia.
Uuuh, the Araak fragrance sounds right up my alley for casual, easy reach summery tuberose🥰 I adore fragrance like Good Girl Gone Bad by Kilian Paris (Good Girl by CH, is not my yam, guess you ment that one;), and also the spot on clone (it's just not a dupe anymore, to close;) of Good Girl Gone Bad by Kilian Paris, Maison Alhambra's Kismet for woman, ufff, I wore the OG and Kismet for woman 2days in a row side by side, bc I couldn't get how identical they are, it's literally the same juice serious 99% of a dupe, at least to my nose.......
Absolutely ❤ al fursan. A fabulous coconut lactonic that develops like a dream. TRUE compliment getter at work. Keep a decant in my desk at all times. Have 2 back up bottles in my collection. A forever top for me 😊
I have musk&roses and I really love the smell.. and bought rose noir for my colleague hope she will like it .. Btw you’re sooo pretty and I love how u do reviews😍
Happy to hear you enjoy it, Musk & Roses is such a classic timeless feminine fragrance, you can never go wrong with something like this. ✨I'm sure she'll enjoy Rose Noir, I received a lot of positive feedback on it so far. Have you tried any other fragrances from Ahmed al Maghribi? Thank you for watching my dear, I appreciate your kind words 🤗🌹
I caved in and bought Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited because I got it for under £8 on a tiktok shop offer. It immediately made me think of Alien Goddess (similar coconut and vanilla). I feel it will work well in summer as a body spray with Goddess or Goddess Intense.
I'm glad to hear you enjoy it my dear!🥳 I agree, in the summer it will work so beautiful, I can't wait till the warm weather comes so I could try to include it in more layering combos. Thank you for watching 🤗🌹
Buenos días, Loredana and fellow viewers. Lactonic notes can be so comforting, just a must in a perfume collection. I am so glad your are exploring this new facet:) This one sounds a bit like Sintra?
I love discovering it more! What are some lactonic fragrances that left an impression on you? 💫 Haven't tried Sintra unfortunately so I can't compare them but I looked up the notes and from the notes breakdown Sintra seems more complex and multifaceted. Thank you for watching my dear 🤗🌹
@@AFragrantGlance Sintra has a powdered milk dry down as in powder baby fórmula which I find so comforting! The bottle is beautiful as well. Let me see what other lactonic ones I own...
I don't really have an issue with the longevity/projection of Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited, but I thought I would try layering it with a couple other scents to see how they work together. I decided to focus on amping up the musk, and tried Opulent Musk first. It didn't mesh with Qaed, so I won't repeat that one. Next I tried Nemat Vanilla Musk oil under Qaed, and I feel this combo improved both scents! My next test is going to be layering Qaed with Mancera Coco Vanille, since the coconut in Qaed reminds me of the note in Coco Vanille. I'll let you know how it goes.
Great ideas! How did the layering with Coco Vanille go? Did you enjoy it? I feel like because of the citrusy aspect in the opening followed by all the lactonic nuances it clashes with lots of scents, but I was surprised about this cause it's quite a simplistic DNA and in my mind it would've worked layered with so many other scents haha. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
Qaed Al Fursan unlimited is quite lovely, soft creamy coconut..i appreciate the burst of citrus in the top..it's very beautifully paired with tropical fruit scents..Dolce Shine, Fame and Yara Tous..also wonderful with pineapple and mandarin/orange..also Olympea😊❤ it's an amazing layering scent..i adore it and will likely order a backup.
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤️ I'm glad to hear you enjoy Qaed al Fursan Unlimited, it's such a beautiful scent! How do you find it compares to Yara Tous? I've had my eyes on that one, I can't find it locally yet but the notes look so beautiful. 💫
I like Rose Noire ,but I prefer Gardenia. It's such a different scent! It's green ,fresh and floral and I think it has some kind of barnyard oud which makes it very sexy. Love your reviews !
So happy to hear you enjoy Gardenia, it's a unique one for sure, I haven't tried anything similar to it! 💫 Thank you for watching my dear, I always appreciate your support 🌹❤️
Gardenia has beautiful rich blend with oud, vanilla,fresh aquatic ,little hint of Jasmine , moreover it's totally unique fragrance and unmatchable top notch
Hi. If you like lactone notes, maybe try Jeanne Arthes: Tea Time a Paris Macaron Amande Boum do Brasil (Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 Sol de Janeiro clone) Tea Time a Paris by Pavlova I'm curious about your review of them
My 2cts on Tea Time>> to my nose and on my skin Macaron Amande smells like a macaron. Actually, they smell identical to kokosmakronen or kokoskrans - a very Dutch cookie you eat with tea ;) They're soft and have edible paper attached. Due to the name I think they're inspired by Macaroons. I unfortunately miss the amande part, even though I've had it for a year now and it has macerated plenty. It is very coconutty, but not lactonic at all. I know chemistry and our brain react all differently, but it's not in the notes I get despite milk being a base and coconut isn't. (Edit: See below). Then again: while I wouldn't combine coconut with coconut that quickly- as said in my own tips in the comments - it might be a good layering tip because of the other notes and especially if you get what it is promising. I bought it blind due to the pyramid, but I get mostly Heliotrope and vanilla if I'm really trying to distinguish. ( The blend is well done though, after decent maceration). It's the ultimate gourmand. Plus: Jeanne Arthes is sooooo cheap (it is here, most are between 6 and 8 euros), so a blind buy isn't such a miss when a fail. Edit: Macaron Amande pyramid >> Almonds, Plum Orange Blossom, Heliotrope Milk, Vanilla
My friend has rose noir whichi really do like , to me it's much better quality than , Lataffa .. and I have many from both them and Paris corner.. .. Great video..
Indeed, Ahmed al Maghribi have amazing quality , not only they're extremely oily but the blends are much smoother to me as well. Thank you for watching 🤗🌹
@@AFragrantGlanceYou're very welcome!! I tried layering it with 3 different fragrances... 1ts was Ajayeb Dubai Portrait and it was very nice. Next, I layered with Montaigne Coco and that's so lovely!! But I think my favorite combo is layering it with Club De Nuit For Women and it was gorgeous. 🥰 I'll keep looking 🩷
I did just buy the Fursan fragrance today actually! I LOVE lactonic perfumes! And so of course I needed it. I would love to hear any of your lactonic perfume recommendations 🙏 especially Middle Eastern, but also any affordable or just ANY (niche, indie, designer lol). I NEED THEM ALL! 😄😄
How do you feel about Qaed al Fursan Unlimited? I'm starting to love lactonic scents as well, I find them very intriguing! 💫 From what I've tested lately - 9 AM for Women by Afnan has a beautiful creamy facet; Vanille Exclusiv from Mancera & Floral Blend by Parfumane (they're very similar) both have a beautiful whipped cream type of lactonic accord (it's cloud like and very fluffy) mixed with some peachy facets and a dusty chalk like nuance; Orchidee Rouge by Sora Dora has a very interesting and unexpected milky lactonic facet, almost came out from nowhere; Sacred Palace by Parfumane has a delicious lactonic undertone combined with rose and melted caramel; Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme is also a gorgeous fragrance with a beautiful milky undertone - smells like sweet condensed milk with spices, some sweet citruses and a dusty feel in the background. And as for creamy accords that don't lean necessarily lactonic (some go lotiony) - Yara by Lattafa (this smells like strawberry cake frosting, a hint of tuberose and some powdery nuances), Swar al Dhahab by Bait al Bakhoor (mandarin orange, a cold body lotion like feel and some coconuty almondy nuances) & Araak by Ahmed al Maghribi. These are the ones that I could remember at this moment but I'm sure I'm forgetting some, look up some samples of these if you see anything that catches your interest. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
@@AFragrantGlance girl I am LOVING it! So much so I've been thinking I need a backup bottle in case the price goes up. I also turned my friend onto it as well. She hasn't received it yet and don't live close to eachother** But we have boyh been on a coconut & lactonic - buying from niche, designer, and (I have) from Middle Eastern. And I am SO IMPRESSED with Fursan! It is on par with Dolce & Gabbana Garden (another fantastic Coconut fragrance*)... and it is BETTER than Versace Crystal Noir edt (haven't received the edp yet*)... of course niche is niche and wonderful lol but I love Fursan so much more than I thought I could! I also want to order the black one too. I'm convinced I will love it. I don't have any of those pineapple/freshie dupes in my collection... But yea for lactonic OR coconut fragrances - I would love to hear about more! I am waiting for my order of the new* M.E. coffee fragrance that's supposed to be sweet/lactonic (NOT the Intense Cafe dupe*)... I am hoping that is great too! Also, do you have recommendations for a creamy/lactonic mango fragrance? The stronger the projection - the better. I've also been into finding great mango fragrances too. 😃 TYSM for your videos! 😘😘
@@AFragrantGlance Omg Thank you for all of the recommendations! I will be getting some of them ASAP... I've also been looking for peaches n cream (vanilla/lactonic/creamy) types of fragrances too, so this is perfect! 🥹
@@AFragrantGlance My favorite truly lactonic fragrances I've tried: • Etat Libre D'Orange - The Ghost In The Shell (super lactonic, more lactonic than milk, sweet but not too sweet - but also not too thick*) • Giardini di Toscana - Bianco Latte (sweetened condensed milk vibe! - projects/lasts amazingly too! Sillage is 🥰💃) • Commodity Milk Bold (sort of the more smoky*, almost Middle Eastern vibes version of Bianco Latte. Worth having both, they're not dupes, but similar-ish) • Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Amyris Homme EDT (a freshie lactonic fragrance, starts off with citrus but then soon goes into a lactonic phase and dried down like that. Lasts forever on skin it seems) • Carolina Herrera - Good Girl Legere (the lactonic version of GG, sorta basically... not quite as lactonic as the rest of this list though) • Burberry - Her Elixir (strawberry milk vibes 😋) ... these are the most lactonic fragrances I've tried so far... I would love to find more affordable lactonic fragrances. I've found some "creamy" ones, but truly lactonic are harder to come by it seems. I love creamy tho too lol Have you tried these?
I still don't know how I feel about Qaed Al Fursan unlimited. It's not bad but there's something weird, even after maceration. I want to try it with Confidential Private Gold (think Kirke but with lots of peach, good one!) , Amber oud gold or something around those lines. Hoping for a creamier version of Jasmine wisp perhaps. And I like the Yara idea below. 👒
Ohh that's such a good idea!💫 I absolutely love Jasmine Wisp, I'll layer it with some of my samples of Amber Oud Gold and Little Hearts, I appreciate the idea. Thank you for watching dear and let me know how the layering combo goes, I hope it will work out for you 🌹❤️
I can see the similarities, to me they took those DNAs as inspiration and added their own magic twist to them.💓 I have fallen in love with Araak even though Good Girl is not my favourite fragrance but Araak has something so special about it. Rose Noir is a very unique scent to me, it stands out without being too much. Thank you for watching my dear 🌹❤🤗
Happy to hear you enjoy it my dear, thank you for watching🌹❤️ If you are looking for a sample I think you can find it on Maison d'Orient website, they sell lots of Ahmed al Maghribi samples there. Wishing you a beautiful weekend 🌠
@AFragrantGlance I just finished a 10ml of Oud Touch. It's boringly nice, it's not checking my boxes sadly. I had high hopes, but 3 days in, and I don't think I will purchase a full bottle. I do love Oud Pearl and Shiakha. I need to get the correct spelling on the second frag. The spelling on my 6ml sample is messed up. ARAAK, Oud Pearl, and Marin I do have full bottles of and love. Unfortunately, Ahmed Al Maghribi has limited availability in my area 😞 Oud Touch is your typical lightly citrus, non funky, oud based, slightly sweet, and aromatic. It is very nice but a DNA I've smelled before. To me, it's of its own, not necessarily a dupe, but more traditional.
Ahmed Maghribi very good long lasting perfume brand. You nexts try oud & roses, haam, malyoun, camelia garden, shy, oud classic, durri, hirfah, marin,waad, etc I already has these mentioned perfume. So why I suggested
I appreciate the recommendations, from the ones you mentioned I have samples of Oud & Roses, Malyoun, Shy, Oud Classic, Hirfah, Marin & Waad - I will test them and talk about them in future vidoes. Thank you for watching ❤️
Welcome, thank you for watching ❤️🌠 I bought it from Parfumas.ro , if you're based in Europe I highly recommend you this website, they have a wide variety of brands & fragrances at amazing prices and they ship almost everywhere in Europe
How salty is Rose Noir? I didn't love Olympea for that note, I like it, but I couldn't see myself wearing it. If RN is less salty than Olympea, I might be interested to seek out a sample
I don't have Olympea in my collection and it's been a while since I smelled it it's hard to compare them just by memory, perhaps someone who tried both could give you their feedback. 💫 But if you find a sample of Rose Noir it's worth testing it out. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
Was wondering the same. Hopefully my comment "ups" yours. I really disliked Olympea, all I got was salt. I don't mind 'different', but smelling like I took a dive into the ocean and didn't shower afterwards...nope!
@@misssunnydee I know! The saltiness of Olympea really took me by surprise. I can see the beauty of the other notes, but I sure as heck won’t ever wear this in this year-round humid tropical place I live in
This sounds like an amazing combo, I don't have This is Her in my collection but I've smelled it few times and they would definitely mix together so well. 🥳 Thank you for watching! 🌹❤️
Thank you for watching! 🤗🌹 Some I received them from other fragrance lovers, some I've purchased them from Vivantis & Parfumas.ro and others I received them when I've purchased different fragrances online. Are you interested in a particular fragrance?
Thank you for watching ❤🌹 You can get them from Parfumas.ro, they're a romanian website but they ship everywhere in Europe, they have the best prices I've seen on Ahmed al Maghribi fragrances here and they also sell samples of some of them.
Thank you for watching 🌹❤ I think the name for the scent is deceiving, I get no rose honestly and definitely nothing deep & dark. If possible look up a sample of it to test it, it's a very beautiful scent 🌸
@AFragrantGlance oh wow I totally appreciate it. I'm not a huge rose girl but I just look at your link and think I'll blind buy and if I like it I'll keep it or gift it. You make it sounds very beautiful. 💓
If you have a chance try Olympea by Paco Rabbane in a fragrance store, if you enjoy that one then most likely you'll enjoy Rose Noir as well. Let me know how it goes 🤗
If you find a sample of Qaed al Fursan Unlimited it's worth testing it 💫 I haven't tried Cry Baby Milk but now I'm very curious about it. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
@@AFragrantGlance ... Burberry Her Elixir, Burberry Goddess, Carolina Herrera Good Girl Legere used to be one but I think I am falling out of love with the scent profile, Dolce & Gabbana Garden, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Guerlain Robe Noir (the blueberry one), Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, Prada Pardoxe, YSL Black Opium Extreme ... these are all I can think of atm.
@@AFragrantGlance Received Kalemah. For me its very similar to Afnan - Not only intense but much darker. Oud not fecal for me.Its a little creamy and floral. Love it!
I'm so so happy to hear you enjoy it! 🥳 I think I have a sample of Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan, I'm curious to smell it, I don't think I've smelled it yet.
@@AFragrantGlance They sent me samples from Ahmed Al Maghribi. Oud Afghano, Mauzoon, Bombay Oud, Couture Noir, Touch Oud and Tanuf. I think i should buy all of them 🤣
help me pick one please. i am a man. AL HARAMAIN Unisex Portfolio Imperial Oud EDP Al Haramain Golden Oud Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud. thanks i want a the true ME experience
Oud is something very personal, hard to give you just one recommendation without knowing more details - do you want something that is wearable also? Do you want something only for special occasions? Imperial Oud by Al Haramain smells luxurious and high quality but is very strong, not the most wearable one and def not a safe blind buy, it's a rich raw resinous balsamic oudy scent, polarising but beautiful. Golden Oud I haven't tried it myself. Ameer al Oudh Intense Oud is a great one for an affordable option but the quality of Lattafa fragrances doesn't match the quality of Al Haramain fragrances. I'd go with one of the two Al Haramain ones but try them before and see what works better for your needs. Thank you for watching ❤️
I saw the other notes breakdown that includes patchouli, birchwood, rose, green apple and few others and smelling lots of fragrances with these notes & accords - this one has none of those, this is a creamy lactonic fragrance, light and bright without any deep dark notes, def nothing herbal. Thank you for watching ❤️🌹
@@AFragrantGlance Yes , I have it. I too was drawn in by all the hype and false notes on Fragrantica and a few other websites. Only a small handful of sites are claiming the Coconut, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla notes. Its creamy and lactonic for sure. But nearly every site I have seen that sells it - give the same note breakdown I'm talking about. I believe the coconut people are smelling is a nuance. Anyhow we can agree to disagree. I love your channel and you have such a soothing voice. I relax totally when listening to you. From what you like - I believe we have similar tastes in perfume. I really want to try the fragrance you bought the full bottle of. Its sounds gorgeous. Love your channel ❤
I have Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited and have been wearing it repeatedly at night. It definitely has a coconut note similar to Mancera Coco Vanille! I suspect some people may be anosmic to the notes, based on the complaints about longevity. I don't have a problem with it's longevity at all, although it doesn't project much and stays close to the skin.
I can definitely smell what seems to be coconut. I just don't think its coconut. That's why I think it's a nuance. Some notes coming together to smell like coconut. Coconut is one of my favs fragrance notes.
Then yes, you might enjoy it, it's definitely not too sweet, and if you enjoy Supreme then you might enjoy Eros as well, it's a delicate floral scent with some depth.
I dislike this perfume actually, it was a love from the first sniff but then I started disliking it. It is not that it turns on me or something, it is just I don't find this scent appealing anymore 😢
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤️ Are you talking about Qaed al Fursan Unlimited? I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you anymore, sometimes our taste just changes and what we used to enjoy during certain times we don't enjoy anymore. 💫
Ps do you tried the TF Soleil Blanc body oil? Could imagine that it would match the fragrance you mentioned, the milky, coconuty, powdery one, I don't own this fragrance (yet;), but the oil and it sounds like a fragrance, I would layer with this body oil, or maybe a Sol de Janeiro body cream? The BumBum cream is maybe not that matching, but the new "Radiant" (ufff, such a stunning scent, my favorite of their creams and my second fave of their body mists and I own every single one🫣;) cream and body mist, guess that one would match so many kinds of summery fragrances, and lifts them up, gives them as the name says, radiance........👌🤌😘
@afragrantglance My thoughts + a layering tip 😊: I thought Shaheen Gold (I bought a 2ml decant from a ME shop fast after release) had something quite interesting. The fig and pineapple didn't last, but they sweetened the lavender so it didn't become "cologne like". And then there was some aromatic freshness on top of that. It leans a tad more masculine, but I did like it on me as well. Especially in the height of summer. The reason why I didn't buy another decant, let alone a full bottle, is because the SPL was sooooo disappointing! It was skin scent from the beginning and it was gone within the hour. (And then you say fragrances don't last on you 😂). I've wanted to try the Qaed Al Fursan *Unlimited* for aaaages. But it is incredibly hard to find in a bottle, let alone as a sample or decant. I've heard the unlimited is really creamy and sweeter than the OG. Much more feminine. What you describe sounds so nice! And I think it could be an amazing layering scent. I'll try to get it from Romania, because here it definitely isn't 15 bucks when I càn find it. RE layering: I think you should find another type of gourmand. Not a similar one, but opposite in the core. So think fruity or caramely. Doubling down on two differently made coconut fragrances can become overly synthetic. So my recommendation is to use the creaminess and coconut as a base. And what would be nice with that? I think fragrances with a strong strawberry, a strong cherry, a luscious pear (basically most fruits or tropical booziness), a creamy Cacao, a nice caramel. Maybe even honey. From my own collection that would be: OG Yara, Pendora Boozy Cherry (or other Lost Cherry dupe), JPG La Belle, Pride Nebras, Pride Ansaam or Jazzab Gold. Kim k-Pure Honey could be an option, too, but only if you get it the same way I do: strong beeswax with very dark honey. I don't get the other notes, but for a whiff of soft Rose (which is why my fave combo is Chopard Love + Kim kardashian Pure Honey). If you want to be "out there" try something like Dahaab Saafi Bait Al Bakhoor. You'll have a true latte macchiato then with some coconut and a hint of rose. Maybe it is disgusting, but coffee + lactonic is always good. Vanilla fragrances seem like a good match, as well. Another "out there" option might be to mix with powdery fragrances that have one other strong note/accord - preferably not a typical flower. I have Paris Corner Frenetic Delicieuze, a dupe for Dior Feve Delicieuze, which is a delicious powdery, sweet, grungy* fragrance with...tadaaa a lactonic base too. I'm now wondering if this wouldn't be an epic layering combo 😮🎉❤!! (* it has Benzoin and a few other heavy base notes. It's blended to perfection. I can't make out most of the notes and get a cinnamony note without there being any. If you look at the pyramid it's astonishing what you actually smell. But, it does indeed have vanilla and milk. It came into my collection in the beginning of this winter and it is now in my top 10 favourite fragrances! Such a comforting, but also yummy and sexy at the same time perfume. Absolutely genderless as well. Hmmm, now I also wonder if Yara mixes well with it. On its own it is a disappointing scent alas). Oh, if you wanted to try a floral perfume with it: Florals like tuberose and Jasmine suit creaminess well, I think, and only these two often used flowers match with coconut (okay, maybe Frangipani). I'm not sure about other flowers, but then make sure it's a relatively simple and linear perfume or you get a jumble of notes. BUT another edible gourmand in the dessert or fruity perfume vibe direction is probably the best option when it comes to layering Qaed al Fursan Unlimited. Perhaps I'm weird, but I approach layering like cooking 😅. Example if you didn't know enough yet 😂: The Araak you described could be an option too. I don't know the fragrance myself, so I could be super wrong, but I'm simply explaining how I match notes. Apparently it has creaminess, which will fade away into the lactonic part of Unlimited and match it w/out being the same. Then it has strawberries and other fruits. What's nicer than yoghurt with strawberries 🍓 (red fruits)? Can't remember the rest, but I believe it has a strong tuberose too. Well, that'll suit creaminess & coconut easily, so it'll give it an extra touch. Can you let me know if any of them worked? Or other fragrances that match my general tip? It might help me decide, because Unlimited has to be a blind buy for me.
First of all thank you so much for all your layering tips and for taking the time to write them, I highly appreciate your help! 🤗🤗🌹❤️ When I read creamy cacao and Nebras I had to try this combo, I layered now the two and they work together very beautiful, the slight minty feel from Nebras in the opening worked well with the bergamot in Qaed al Fursan Unlimited and once the top notes faded now I'm smelling this beautiful creamy lactonic condensed milky facet with dry cacao powder and a touch of something slightly fresh, love the idea! I will have to play more with the other scent families you suggested and I will update you but I'm off to a good start, thank you dear 🥳 As a side note, I've noticed the performance aspect with some Lattafa fragrances as well, some smell great but feel dilluted, they could definitely improve the performance.
Love your channel and you’re breath and depth when covering all types of fragrances from many different houses. Awesome work! 🎉 do more for men!

@@AFragrantGlance Sintra has a powdered milk dry down as in powder baby fórmula which I find so comforting! The bottle is beautiful as well. Let me see what other lactonic ones I own...
I don't really have an issue with the longevity/projection of Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited, but I thought I would try layering it with a couple other scents to see how they work together. I decided to focus on amping up the musk, and tried Opulent Musk first. It didn't mesh with Qaed, so I won't repeat that one. Next I tried Nemat Vanilla Musk oil under Qaed, and I feel this combo improved both scents! My next test is going to be layering Qaed with Mancera Coco Vanille, since the coconut in Qaed reminds me of the note in Coco Vanille. I'll let you know how it goes.
Great ideas! How did the layering with Coco Vanille go? Did you enjoy it? I feel like because of the citrusy aspect in the opening followed by all the lactonic nuances it clashes with lots of scents, but I was surprised about this cause it's quite a simplistic DNA and in my mind it would've worked layered with so many other scents haha. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
Later unlimited with the og Qaed al fursan! It’s better than you would think!
@@simmiwarraich1270 I'll try that, since I have both available!
Qaed Al Fursan unlimited is quite lovely, soft creamy coconut..i appreciate the burst of citrus in the top..it's very beautifully paired with tropical fruit scents..Dolce Shine, Fame and Yara Tous..also wonderful with pineapple and mandarin/orange..also Olympea😊❤ it's an amazing layering scent..i adore it and will likely order a backup.
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤️ I'm glad to hear you enjoy Qaed al Fursan Unlimited, it's such a beautiful scent! How do you find it compares to Yara Tous? I've had my eyes on that one, I can't find it locally yet but the notes look so beautiful. 💫
@@AFragrantGlanceYara Tous is more fruity sweet with a hint of Yara Moi.
Hey hey greetings from Germany. I have qaed unlimited and I layer it with porto neroli. And wooow really nice for summer. Try it
Hi dear, thank you for watching ❤️🌹 That's a great layering idea, I will look for something similar 🌠
I like Rose Noire ,but I prefer Gardenia. It's such a different scent! It's green ,fresh and floral and I think it has some kind of barnyard oud which makes it very sexy. Love your reviews !
So happy to hear you enjoy Gardenia, it's a unique one for sure, I haven't tried anything similar to it! 💫 Thank you for watching my dear, I always appreciate your support 🌹❤️
Gardenia has beautiful rich blend with oud, vanilla,fresh aquatic ,little hint of Jasmine , moreover it's totally unique fragrance and unmatchable top notch
Hi. If you like lactone notes, maybe try Jeanne Arthes:
Tea Time a Paris Macaron Amande
Boum do Brasil (Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 Sol de Janeiro clone)
Tea Time a Paris by Pavlova
I'm curious about your review of them
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤ I appreciate all your recommendations for lactonic fragrances, I will look them up ✨
My 2cts on Tea Time>> to my nose and on my skin Macaron Amande smells like a macaron. Actually, they smell identical to kokosmakronen or kokoskrans - a very Dutch cookie you eat with tea ;) They're soft and have edible paper attached. Due to the name I think they're inspired by Macaroons.
I unfortunately miss the amande part, even though I've had it for a year now and it has macerated plenty. It is very coconutty, but not lactonic at all. I know chemistry and our brain react all differently, but it's not in the notes I get despite milk being a base and coconut isn't. (Edit: See below). Then again: while I wouldn't combine coconut with coconut that quickly- as said in my own tips in the comments - it might be a good layering tip because of the other notes and especially if you get what it is promising. I bought it blind due to the pyramid, but I get mostly Heliotrope and vanilla if I'm really trying to distinguish. ( The blend is well done though, after decent maceration). It's the ultimate gourmand. Plus: Jeanne Arthes is sooooo cheap (it is here, most are between 6 and 8 euros), so a blind buy isn't such a miss when a fail.
Edit: Macaron Amande pyramid >>
Almonds, Plum
Orange Blossom, Heliotrope
Milk, Vanilla
Hola hermosa !!! Please someday Zukhruf Pink Zimaya rewiew 😊 Gracias por aromas de verano (summer) ❤ 😘
Try layering the quaed Al fursan with pure honey by Kim Kardashian the dry floral honey should go well with a woody lactonic scent
Thank you for watching dear and thank you for the layering suggestion, highly appreciated! 🌹❤️✨️
My friend has rose noir whichi really do like , to me it's much better quality than ,
Lataffa .. and I have many from both them and Paris corner.. .. Great video..
Indeed, Ahmed al Maghribi have amazing quality , not only they're extremely oily but the blends are much smoother to me as well. Thank you for watching 🤗🌹
I would layer Qued Al Fusan with a sweeter, nutty lotion, or body spray.
I think the addition of those 2 notes would be lovely.
Amazing idea, I will look into my collection for something like this. Thank you for watching 🌹🤗
@@AFragrantGlanceYou're very welcome!!
I tried layering it with 3 different fragrances... 1ts was Ajayeb Dubai Portrait and it was very nice.
Next, I layered with Montaigne Coco and that's so lovely!!
But I think my favorite combo is layering it with Club De Nuit For Women and it was gorgeous. 🥰
I'll keep looking 🩷
I wonder if Quaed al Fursan Unlimited layered with BBW Margarita Cupcake would be good...😊
I haven't tried anything from Bath & Body Works yet but I will look up Margarita Cupcake, it sounds so delicious! 💫Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
I did just buy the Fursan fragrance today actually! I LOVE lactonic perfumes! And so of course I needed it. I would love to hear any of your lactonic perfume recommendations 🙏 especially Middle Eastern, but also any affordable or just ANY (niche, indie, designer lol).
I NEED THEM ALL! 😄😄
How do you feel about Qaed al Fursan Unlimited? I'm starting to love lactonic scents as well, I find them very intriguing! 💫 From what I've tested lately - 9 AM for Women by Afnan has a beautiful creamy facet; Vanille Exclusiv from Mancera & Floral Blend by Parfumane (they're very similar) both have a beautiful whipped cream type of lactonic accord (it's cloud like and very fluffy) mixed with some peachy facets and a dusty chalk like nuance; Orchidee Rouge by Sora Dora has a very interesting and unexpected milky lactonic facet, almost came out from nowhere; Sacred Palace by Parfumane has a delicious lactonic undertone combined with rose and melted caramel; Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme is also a gorgeous fragrance with a beautiful milky undertone - smells like sweet condensed milk with spices, some sweet citruses and a dusty feel in the background. And as for creamy accords that don't lean necessarily lactonic (some go lotiony) - Yara by Lattafa (this smells like strawberry cake frosting, a hint of tuberose and some powdery nuances), Swar al Dhahab by Bait al Bakhoor (mandarin orange, a cold body lotion like feel and some coconuty almondy nuances) & Araak by Ahmed al Maghribi. These are the ones that I could remember at this moment but I'm sure I'm forgetting some, look up some samples of these if you see anything that catches your interest. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
@@AFragrantGlance girl I am LOVING it! So much so I've been thinking I need a backup bottle in case the price goes up. I also turned my friend onto it as well. She hasn't received it yet and don't live close to eachother** But we have boyh been on a coconut & lactonic - buying from niche, designer, and (I have) from Middle Eastern. And I am SO IMPRESSED with Fursan! It is on par with Dolce & Gabbana Garden (another fantastic Coconut fragrance*)... and it is BETTER than Versace Crystal Noir edt (haven't received the edp yet*)... of course niche is niche and wonderful lol but I love Fursan so much more than I thought I could! I also want to order the black one too. I'm convinced I will love it. I don't have any of those pineapple/freshie dupes in my collection...
But yea for lactonic OR coconut fragrances - I would love to hear about more! I am waiting for my order of the new* M.E. coffee fragrance that's supposed to be sweet/lactonic (NOT the Intense Cafe dupe*)... I am hoping that is great too!
Also, do you have recommendations for a creamy/lactonic mango fragrance? The stronger the projection - the better. I've also been into finding great mango fragrances too. 😃 TYSM for your videos! 😘😘
@@AFragrantGlance Omg Thank you for all of the recommendations! I will be getting some of them ASAP... I've also been looking for peaches n cream (vanilla/lactonic/creamy) types of fragrances too, so this is perfect! 🥹
@@AFragrantGlance which do you prefer out of 9 AM or the Mancera? Which would you say is stronger/last longer?
@@AFragrantGlance
My favorite truly lactonic fragrances I've tried:
• Etat Libre D'Orange - The Ghost In The Shell (super lactonic, more lactonic than milk, sweet but not too sweet - but also not too thick*)
• Giardini di Toscana - Bianco Latte (sweetened condensed milk vibe! - projects/lasts amazingly too! Sillage is 🥰💃)
• Commodity Milk Bold (sort of the more smoky*, almost Middle Eastern vibes version of Bianco Latte. Worth having both, they're not dupes, but similar-ish)
• Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Amyris Homme EDT (a freshie lactonic fragrance, starts off with citrus but then soon goes into a lactonic phase and dried down like that. Lasts forever on skin it seems)
• Carolina Herrera - Good Girl Legere (the lactonic version of GG, sorta basically... not quite as lactonic as the rest of this list though)
• Burberry - Her Elixir (strawberry milk vibes 😋)
... these are the most lactonic fragrances I've tried so far... I would love to find more affordable lactonic fragrances. I've found some "creamy" ones, but truly lactonic are harder to come by it seems. I love creamy tho too lol
Have you tried these?
Layer the fursan unlimited with nuxe Sun, like pina colada, sth ananas-y ;)
This sounds like a dreamy summery combo, I appreciate the idea 💫Thank you for watching🌹❤️
I still don't know how I feel about Qaed Al Fursan unlimited. It's not bad but there's something weird, even after maceration. I want to try it with Confidential Private Gold (think Kirke but with lots of peach, good one!) , Amber oud gold or something around those lines. Hoping for a creamier version of Jasmine wisp perhaps. And I like the Yara idea below. 👒
Ohh that's such a good idea!💫 I absolutely love Jasmine Wisp, I'll layer it with some of my samples of Amber Oud Gold and Little Hearts, I appreciate the idea. Thank you for watching dear and let me know how the layering combo goes, I hope it will work out for you 🌹❤️
Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited smells terrible to me, I will be giving my bottle away
Rose noir reminds me a lot of Olympea, I can Say I like it better than Olympea.
Araak is gorgeous And reminds me of Good girl ❤❤❤
I can see the similarities, to me they took those DNAs as inspiration and added their own magic twist to them.💓 I have fallen in love with Araak even though Good Girl is not my favourite fragrance but Araak has something so special about it. Rose Noir is a very unique scent to me, it stands out without being too much. Thank you for watching my dear 🌹❤🤗

@@AFragrantGlance oh, thank you for the information! I did not know! I will take a peek.
Araak is a beautiful scent. I own it and wear it! ❤❤❤
It's soo beautiful! Glad to hear you enjoy it as well, what other fragrances from Ahmed al Maghribi do you enjoy? 💫 Thank you for watching🌹❤️
@AFragrantGlance I love Marin for a springtime scent, Rose Nior, Sheukh, Oud Touch, and Zuraique.
How do you find Oud Touch? Does it remind you of other fragrances?🤗 Zuraique, Marin & Rose Noir I've tried them as well and all are so beautiful!
@AFragrantGlance I just finished a 10ml of Oud Touch. It's boringly nice, it's not checking my boxes sadly. I had high hopes, but 3 days in, and I don't think I will purchase a full bottle. I do love Oud Pearl and Shiakha. I need to get the correct spelling on the second frag. The spelling on my 6ml sample is messed up. ARAAK, Oud Pearl, and Marin I do have full bottles of and love. Unfortunately, Ahmed Al Maghribi has limited availability in my area 😞
Oud Touch is your typical lightly citrus, non funky, oud based, slightly sweet, and aromatic. It is very nice but a DNA I've smelled before. To me, it's of its own, not necessarily a dupe, but more traditional.
I layered unlimited with the original Yara it was pretty good 😊
This sound amazing, I will try you layering suggestion, can't wait to see how it goes! 🌠 Thank you for watching dear ❤️🌹

How salty is Rose Noir? I didn't love Olympea for that note, I like it, but I couldn't see myself wearing it. If RN is less salty than Olympea, I might be interested to seek out a sample
I don't have Olympea in my collection and it's been a while since I smelled it it's hard to compare them just by memory, perhaps someone who tried both could give you their feedback. 💫 But if you find a sample of Rose Noir it's worth testing it out. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
Was wondering the same. Hopefully my comment "ups" yours. I really disliked Olympea, all I got was salt. I don't mind 'different', but smelling like I took a dive into the ocean and didn't shower afterwards...nope!
@@misssunnydee I know! The saltiness of Olympea really took me by surprise. I can see the beauty of the other notes, but I sure as heck won’t ever wear this in this year-round humid tropical place I live in

Rose Noir I've been wanting for some time but keep thinking it's heavy on the rose scent
Thank you for watching 🌹❤ I think the name for the scent is deceiving, I get no rose honestly and definitely nothing deep & dark. If possible look up a sample of it to test it, it's a very beautiful scent 🌸
@AFragrantGlance oh wow I totally appreciate it. I'm not a huge rose girl but I just look at your link and think I'll blind buy and if I like it I'll keep it or gift it. You make it sounds very beautiful. 💓
If you have a chance try Olympea by Paco Rabbane in a fragrance store, if you enjoy that one then most likely you'll enjoy Rose Noir as well. Let me know how it goes 🤗

I'm so so happy to hear you enjoy it! 🥳 I think I have a sample of Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan, I'm curious to smell it, I don't think I've smelled it yet.
@@AFragrantGlance They sent me samples from Ahmed Al Maghribi. Oud Afghano, Mauzoon, Bombay Oud, Couture Noir,
Touch Oud and Tanuf. I think i should buy all of them 🤣
help me pick one please. i am a man. AL HARAMAIN
Unisex Portfolio Imperial Oud EDP
Al Haramain Golden Oud
Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud. thanks i want a the true ME experience
Oud is something very personal, hard to give you just one recommendation without knowing more details - do you want something that is wearable also? Do you want something only for special occasions? Imperial Oud by Al Haramain smells luxurious and high quality but is very strong, not the most wearable one and def not a safe blind buy, it's a rich raw resinous balsamic oudy scent, polarising but beautiful. Golden Oud I haven't tried it myself. Ameer al Oudh Intense Oud is a great one for an affordable option but the quality of Lattafa fragrances doesn't match the quality of Al Haramain fragrances. I'd go with one of the two Al Haramain ones but try them before and see what works better for your needs. Thank you for watching ❤️
@@AFragrantGlance thank you so much that helped. al haramain is where ill start.
Not a fan of the al furson. that musky smell with the thickness is too much for me
I appreciate your feedback, I can see why it could be too much. ✨ Thank you for watching 🌹❤
The notes you have shown for Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited are wrong. Or should I say Fragrantica is wrong. Coconut is not a note. At all.
I saw the other notes breakdown that includes patchouli, birchwood, rose, green apple and few others and smelling lots of fragrances with these notes & accords - this one has none of those, this is a creamy lactonic fragrance, light and bright without any deep dark notes, def nothing herbal. Thank you for watching ❤️🌹
@@AFragrantGlance Yes , I have it. I too was drawn in by all the hype and false notes on Fragrantica and a few other websites. Only a small handful of sites are claiming the Coconut, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla notes. Its creamy and lactonic for sure. But nearly every site I have seen that sells it - give the same note breakdown I'm talking about. I believe the coconut people are smelling is a nuance.
Anyhow we can agree to disagree. I love your channel and you have such a soothing voice. I relax totally when listening to you. From what you like - I believe we have similar tastes in perfume. I really want to try the fragrance you bought the full bottle of. Its sounds gorgeous.
Love your channel ❤
I have Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited and have been wearing it repeatedly at night. It definitely has a coconut note similar to Mancera Coco Vanille! I suspect some people may be anosmic to the notes, based on the complaints about longevity. I don't have a problem with it's longevity at all, although it doesn't project much and stays close to the skin.
It definitely has a coconut note. You probably can't perceive it. It happens.
I can definitely smell what seems to be coconut. I just don't think its coconut. That's why I think it's a nuance. Some notes coming together to smell like coconut.
Coconut is one of my favs fragrance notes.

Thank you my dear, you are very kind 🤗🌹❤
I dislike this perfume actually, it was a love from the first sniff but then I started disliking it. It is not that it turns on me or something, it is just I don't find this scent appealing anymore 😢
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤️ Are you talking about Qaed al Fursan Unlimited? I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you anymore, sometimes our taste just changes and what we used to enjoy during certain times we don't enjoy anymore. 💫
Ps do you tried the TF Soleil Blanc body oil? Could imagine that it would match the fragrance you mentioned, the milky, coconuty, powdery one, I don't own this fragrance (yet;), but the oil and it sounds like a fragrance, I would layer with this body oil, or maybe a Sol de Janeiro body cream? The BumBum cream is maybe not that matching, but the new "Radiant" (ufff, such a stunning scent, my favorite of their creams and my second fave of their body mists and I own every single one🫣;) cream and body mist, guess that one would match so many kinds of summery fragrances, and lifts them up, gives them as the name says, radiance........👌🤌😘
@afragrantglance My thoughts + a layering tip 😊:
I thought Shaheen Gold (I bought a 2ml decant from a ME shop fast after release) had something quite interesting. The fig and pineapple didn't last, but they sweetened the lavender so it didn't become "cologne like". And then there was some aromatic freshness on top of that. It leans a tad more masculine, but I did like it on me as well. Especially in the height of summer. The reason why I didn't buy another decant, let alone a full bottle, is because the SPL was sooooo disappointing! It was skin scent from the beginning and it was gone within the hour. (And then you say fragrances don't last on you 😂).
I've wanted to try the Qaed Al Fursan *Unlimited* for aaaages. But it is incredibly hard to find in a bottle, let alone as a sample or decant. I've heard the unlimited is really creamy and sweeter than the OG. Much more feminine. What you describe sounds so nice! And I think it could be an amazing layering scent. I'll try to get it from Romania, because here it definitely isn't 15 bucks when I càn find it.
RE layering: I think you should find another type of gourmand. Not a similar one, but opposite in the core. So think fruity or caramely. Doubling down on two differently made coconut fragrances can become overly synthetic. So my recommendation is to use the creaminess and coconut as a base. And what would be nice with that? I think fragrances with a strong strawberry, a strong cherry, a luscious pear (basically most fruits or tropical booziness), a creamy Cacao, a nice caramel. Maybe even honey.
From my own collection that would be: OG Yara, Pendora Boozy Cherry (or other Lost Cherry dupe), JPG La Belle, Pride Nebras, Pride Ansaam or Jazzab Gold. Kim k-Pure Honey could be an option, too, but only if you get it the same way I do: strong beeswax with very dark honey. I don't get the other notes, but for a whiff of soft Rose (which is why my fave combo is Chopard Love + Kim kardashian Pure Honey).
If you want to be "out there" try something like Dahaab Saafi Bait Al Bakhoor. You'll have a true latte macchiato then with some coconut and a hint of rose. Maybe it is disgusting, but coffee + lactonic is always good.
Vanilla fragrances seem like a good match, as well. Another "out there" option might be to mix with powdery fragrances that have one other strong note/accord - preferably not a typical flower. I have Paris Corner Frenetic Delicieuze, a dupe for Dior Feve Delicieuze, which is a delicious powdery, sweet, grungy* fragrance with...tadaaa a lactonic base too. I'm now wondering if this wouldn't be an epic layering combo 😮🎉❤!!
(* it has Benzoin and a few other heavy base notes. It's blended to perfection. I can't make out most of the notes and get a cinnamony note without there being any. If you look at the pyramid it's astonishing what you actually smell. But, it does indeed have vanilla and milk. It came into my collection in the beginning of this winter and it is now in my top 10 favourite fragrances! Such a comforting, but also yummy and sexy at the same time perfume. Absolutely genderless as well. Hmmm, now I also wonder if Yara mixes well with it. On its own it is a disappointing scent alas).
Oh, if you wanted to try a floral perfume with it: Florals like tuberose and Jasmine suit creaminess well, I think, and only these two often used flowers match with coconut (okay, maybe Frangipani). I'm not sure about other flowers, but then make sure it's a relatively simple and linear perfume or you get a jumble of notes.
BUT another edible gourmand in the dessert or fruity perfume vibe direction is probably the best option when it comes to layering Qaed al Fursan Unlimited.
Perhaps I'm weird, but I approach layering like cooking 😅.
Example if you didn't know enough yet 😂: The Araak you described could be an option too. I don't know the fragrance myself, so I could be super wrong, but I'm simply explaining how I match notes. Apparently it has creaminess, which will fade away into the lactonic part of Unlimited and match it w/out being the same. Then it has strawberries and other fruits. What's nicer than yoghurt with strawberries 🍓 (red fruits)? Can't remember the rest, but I believe it has a strong tuberose too. Well, that'll suit creaminess & coconut easily, so it'll give it an extra touch.
Can you let me know if any of them worked? Or other fragrances that match my general tip?
It might help me decide, because Unlimited has to be a blind buy for me.
First of all thank you so much for all your layering tips and for taking the time to write them, I highly appreciate your help! 🤗🤗🌹❤️ When I read creamy cacao and Nebras I had to try this combo, I layered now the two and they work together very beautiful, the slight minty feel from Nebras in the opening worked well with the bergamot in Qaed al Fursan Unlimited and once the top notes faded now I'm smelling this beautiful creamy lactonic condensed milky facet with dry cacao powder and a touch of something slightly fresh, love the idea! I will have to play more with the other scent families you suggested and I will update you but I'm off to a good start, thank you dear 🥳 As a side note, I've noticed the performance aspect with some Lattafa fragrances as well, some smell great but feel dilluted, they could definitely improve the performance.
@@AFragrantGlance Can't wait to hear the rest! Your description of my suggestion in action made me realise I really need to get that Qaed ASAP! 😅
