Simmie! Gorgeous girl, oh my goodness. You know that I love your clothes. What you're wearing now is my absolute favorite! So beautiful! The colors are magic on your skin. I saw the surgeon today. I'm having a minor procedure in a few weeks as a diagnostic tool. It's all terribly complicated but I'm in good hands. Keep me in your prayers.❤ It was a hectic day but I saved this video for when I put on my pajamas and got into bed with my electric blanket. It's officially Fall and I'm finally getting to wear my new sweaters and use my blanket on my sore joints!🍂🍁😂 I'm going to watch this now. Sending so much love and support.❤❤
Hey beautiful ❤ I am smiling again seeing you message here. Your beautiful soul shines across the globe. Thank you my hun ❤ I wanted to look special for Diwali at work ❤❤❤ Oh babe. I promise I always keep you in my prayers. I dont ever want any of my friends to be in pain. I hope this procedure reveals a path to the cure. I could actually feel you pain and the relief you feel with the heated blanket. I hope the sun shines its warmth on you and takes away all your pain. Babe, please dont feel compelled to comment when you are keeping unwell. I love you for what you do, but I really want you to get better first ❤ Sending healing energy, love and warmth your way my Angel ❤❤❤
Shaghaf Vanilla toffee is so beautiful, I got it on the launch day in Dubai before the beauty exhibition and it has already changed! For me the burned caramel note was too strong but still decided to buy it as strangely I got quickly addicted to it. In the first days I was getting this burned note even in the dry down but few weeks later now it has dicreased a lot and it's more creamier and I got a stronger walnut as well. It's a beauty. I layer it with Shaghaf oud azraq to get a toffee / cinnamon combo or with shaghaf oud tonka to associate it with almonds. These combos are 🎉 I love Banana bliss 😍 it's a banana pudding from magniola bakery! But you are right obviously you need to love banana to be able to enjoy this scent profile. For me it's a 10/10, it's so realistic and gourmand. I don't get the cilantro note that you said but in voux pâtisserie I get a very very strong cilentro/cardamom note. Thank you again for these great reviews! Can't wait to see the lineup for the amazing releases!
Hey my hun ♥️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience with me babe. A couple of people have told me how much Vanilla Toffee changes in just a week or two. Of it just gets a little creamier, I know I will love it. Omg I can’t wait to layer it with Azraq and Tonka now 😍 Yessssss! The banana pudding from Magnolia! Wasn’t sure if everyone would get the reference ♥️ Unfortunately for me banana just does not cut it. Oh yes surprisingly the cilantro note only kicks in for me at later stage. Weird. Thanks my hun for sharing such a detailed review. I love it 🥰 🤗♥️
It is always a beautiful day when it starts with Simin! I'm so glad you pointed out fragrances at the show that other people didn't mention, especially the Khadlaj oils. I love the Tiramisiu fragrance so much, it does make me hungry though. :)
I love Vanilla Toffee and I'm glad that it's not a Basic perfume, I feel toffee with coffee and the spiciness of kardamom with dattes and then Madagascar vanilla comes after🍭🍬🥰❤️
Hey gorgeous! I love how clear you are with communicating your experience with perfumes ❤ The date-cinnamon-coffee combo is usually something I vibe with but what I am getting is like an animalic honey (which someone in comments kindly make clear to me). I am confident however that in a week or two it will change coz many people faced the same issue as I, but now love it coz it got much creamier. Do you like to Tobacco 01?
Glad to see you😊 I have slowed down on buying because everyone has jumped on the middle eastern fragrance train, prices are no longer affordable for me😢 but I will still watch your videos ❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤️ I am so upset with the ME frags prices going out of hand. Anything above 60USD is just insane. The whole idea was to be worthy and accessible to everyone. Thats unfortunately not the case anymore. Babe, thank you for still supporting me ❤️❤️❤️
Then I will definitely look out for Musk pour Amber, I've already been obsessed with Bayn Al Asrar it this whole autumn and I would love a variation on this awesome unique theme! Btw I'm glad you're getting PR to talk to us about, and hearing it straight up from honest creators actually makes it more so I think.
Hey gorgeous! ❤ I have been overwearing two perfumes off late, ok maybe more than two but lol. One is Musk pour Amber and the other is Nobel Blush by Lattafa ❤ They both are straight up pretty girl perfumes ❤❤❤ Thank you for you faith in me babe. I hope I always like up to it ❤ xo
@@SiminShaikh Thank you, that's great to read! The moment I heard comparisons of Noble Blush to Yara I internally noped out 😅 but then I heard Guidance and I'm in.. Excited to hear the opinions on it that will surely be coming. Much love to you as always ❤❤❤
Dear Simin, love your honest reviews 🤍 my Vanilla Toffe is on the way and after your description I’m sure I will like it! it’s just a kind of fragrance that I’m looking for 🙏 big hugs from Croatia 🇭🇷
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤ Can you please lemme know what you think about it when you get it? I will also update in a week or two since everyone is saying it gets creamier ❤
Ciao bella! ❤️ Sono così felice di stringere amicizia con persone in tutto il mondo. Questo è enorme per me. Grazie mille per avermi mostrato gentilezza, mio caro tesoro. Tanto amore da Dubai ❤️
Super video Queen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 . Slowly they have to reduce all new releases perfumes that smells like foods . I love sweet and dark gourmand perfumes , but like pudding , bread , cookies come on now
Hey beautiful hun ❤ I totally agree! I have started using more of my old perfumes now coz I am kinda overdosed on gourmands. So I realized that anything that smells like a bakery or patisserie, I usually dont like. Coz they are a little heady and Dubai is always hot lol 😅
@@vypanchy i personally do not find it comparable to another perfume. It's a creamy, feminine, gourmand almond rose. Its not a heady rose. This is definitely gourmand and you dont need to love rose to enjoy it. It literally smells like the color pink. It's what I had hoped Yara wouldve been.
The fact that you always give your honest opinion on fragrances is what I value the most about you ❤ Thank you so much Simin hon for talking about Vanilla Toffee. I hope it gets better with time but I think I’ll wait for your maceration/maturation update video before investing in this one. You’re always helping us make the best perfume decisions 😘😘 Edit: hahahahah I hate banana everything too 🙌🏽 im so so happy I waited for your review before deciding on Banana bliss. You always always steer me right! ❤
You’re always welcome, my gorgeous! Vanilla Toffee definitely needs time to settle so it's good you're holding off for now! ♥️ Also, even after maceration, I don't think it will be a sweet toffee perfume. It is very complex. I will post an update for you soon hun ❤ Thank you for appreciating me. I know my first priority is to give my honest thought. Karma is real and I reaaaally believe in it ❤❤❤ I dont want anyone spending their hard earned money on anything that is not worth it.
Hey my hun You are always welcome ♥️ Me tooooo! I love tobacco in perfumes. Thank goodness it’s not just in men’s perfumes anymore lol. Do test the Banana bliss babe. I really am interested to know what everyone thinks of it ♥️
@@SiminShaikh in general - I see folks on our facebook perfume group - rather disappointed with Banana Bliss, saying same as you - that it's banana bread smell
Hey my hun ♥️ Pls do lemme know what your experience is like with it. It is such a unique fragrance and I would love to know how different noses perceive it ♥️ xo
Hey Simin. My Vanilla Toffee arrived. It's a love for me as it's very tame/feminine in comparison to my strongest coffee scent. I know what you mean about something that's bothering you in the mid. It becomes almost like an animalic honey note, comparable to a stage that Teriaq goes through, and I seem to recall you weren't fond of that? I got a few free samples, including Tobacco 01, and that reminds me very much of Side Effect. Hope you enjoyed your time at Beauty World, despite any challenges.
Heya hun ♥️ I cannot thank you enough for letting me know it’s the animalic honey! It’s been driving me mad to describe it. Now I can be at peace. You are absolutely right. It’s the same feeling I get from Teriaq. I had a feeling that it needs to settle coz my bottle definitely feels too segmented if you know what I mean. I really need to smell side effect again but do like Tobacco 01 more than the Vanilla Toffee. I did my hun. It was a great experience. I prolly will carry back up filming devices next year lol 🤗♥️
Ohhh so many perfumes here that I’ve been hoping you’ll talk about ❤ Thank you so much for always bringing the best content to us Simin darling! Just a few minutes in and I’m already LOVING the video! So happy you got another bottle of opulence of dubai 😍❤️ You absolutely deserve it!
Thank you my Angel ❤ You have supported me for such a long time. You have no idea how much that means to me and how much I love you for it ❤ xo P.S. I was over the moon receiving that additional Opulence of Dubai bottle lol
Sim, you described Vanilla Toffee perfectly! I found it incredibly sweet and thick at the opening, with tons of toffee and caramel. It lasted about 15 minutes. It then settled into coffee, as you said not prominent but present. It's opening reminds me of Surrati Royal Musk Caramel Toffee. It also reminded me of holiday candles, smokey caramely toffee and woods. I will let it sit for a bit. I start enjoying it at about the 45 minute to one hour mark.
Babe! Thank you! When you mentioned the candles I realized it was bath and body hand wash. I don’t remember the name. That’s the weird smell i thinking of! I will try and remember the name for it. It was from the holiday edition. Many people have commented that Vanillla Toffee gets much creamier within a week. So jury is still out for this one ♥️😍
Hola Simin !!! Oooohhhhh que lindos perfumes !!!! Pero estoy de acuerdo contigo, yo como banana pero no me gusta nada con sabor ni olor a banana 😅 Has visto Yum Yum de Armaf ?? Es una copa de helado, parece infantil pero a mí me gusta esa botella 😍 Besos desde el otro lado del mundo, Chile 🇨🇱😘😘😘
Hola mi cariño ❤ Gracias hermosa. Estoy entusiasmado con todos estos nuevos lanzamientos pero espero que vengan en Installaments jajaja. Exacto, nunca podría usar un aroma a plátano en mí 😅 Mucho amor a tu manera, cariño ❤❤❤
Simin, I got that black sugar note at the top, too. Oxygenation helped mine. I love the way they did the butterscotch in this Vanilla Toffee. It is one of the most complex gourmands in my collection. I am finding mine smoothing and blending together. This one does need time, unusual for Swiss Arabian. About Tobacco 01, is it similar to Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition (love that one)? ❤❤❤ Thank you for reviewing these, Simin 😊 Blessings
Hey gorgeous ❤ So glad we are on the same page regarding the black sugar! I can’t wait for mine to smooth and blend together, coz it is definitely is a very complex perfume which we need for a change in the gourmand category. Tobacco 01 is completely different from Amber Oud Tobacco, which is good news. I had the same initial expectation lol. Funny how we think alike. But this Tobacco 01 is as elevated and unique as the Vanilla Toffee and I like it more ❤ Hope this helps babe xo
@SiminShaikh I am glad to hear that about Tobacco 01. I put off ordering until I got some reassurance it was not too masculine or redundant. 😊 Blessings ❤
Hi Simin, I’m so happy you reviewed Tiramisu! I was waiting for a full review because I trust you and feel like I can blind buy. In your opinion, do you like Tiramisu or Eclaire better? For reference, I love Cheirosa 71!
Hey Gorgeous! ❤ Thank you my hun. If you like Cheriosa 71, you will enjoy Tiramisu more in my opinion. While Tiramisu smells like a wearable Cinnamon Roll, Eclaire smells straight up like Toffee.
Vanilla Toffee smells like burnt sugar to me and it stays, I get maybe 25 seconds of toffee in the beginning which was delicious, after that only burnt sugar for hours. I got rid of it, didn't want to wait for it to macerate 😂. I'm waiting for tiramisu speculoos to arrive, I'm excited about that one 😊. I happen to just buy Treaclemoon cinnamon bun shower gel, I think it would go with Tiramisu speculoos perfectly 😊 Have you tried Eclat de lune from Maison Alhambra? I bought it for the pretty bottle without knowing any of the notes but I actually really like the scent, I just don't know what I'm smelling 😂 it's a soft sweet perfume
Heya hun ❤ They perhaps chose the wrong name for the perfume. Lol. I know what you feel babe. Some comments here have indicated that it gets better and creamier within a week, so I will do a maceration update for it. I hope it looses that burnt something and that weird fruit smell. Ooooooh I love the layering suggestion here. Fall season ready for sure! ❤❤❤ Unfortunately, Maison AlHambra is not sold here in UAE. So i have not tried many perfumes from this brand.
Banana Bliss totally smelled like banana bread to me too! In the area I live, we don't have Cinnabon shops. But our Pizza Hut serves their rolls, so I order a box every Friday night. That fresh-baked smell is something special 😂
Haha! I am so glad we are on the same page. I do think a lot of people will enjoy it. In the meanwhile, I shalll enjoy my Tiramisu Speculoos hehehe! ❤️
Sim, so glad to have you back❤!!! Your review of vanilla toffee was very helpful, I think many people think it’s girly girl sweet and are disappointed, I will wait. It’s expensive in US. I love banana bliss and tiramisu speculos, but I have never seen such a horrendous cap. The bottle and cap represents the brand, so that’s a big fail. Can’t wait for more Khadlaj
Hey my hun ❤️ I too thought it will be a unique edible gourmand. I think the name choice is very poor. I like that it is unique but it i soooo polarizing. The good news is a lot of users claim that it got much sweeter and creamier after maceration. I hope my bottle does the same. I will keep you posted hun ❤️ Hahahaaa, i feel you about the cap 😂
Hi Simin! I've been watching your videos since last year and I always come back to your reviews whenever i'm interested to buy a certain ME fragrance. I actually bought my first one (bint hooran) because of your review ❤️ My fiancè and i will be getting married next year and i'm looking for the perfect perfume for the both of us to wear on our special day. Perhaps you have recommendations on what we could try? Thanks! 🫶🏻
Hey gorgeous! You are getting married next year! That's so exciting! Tell me about your fragrance preferences and I'll see if we can find something that works for both of you ❤ I know you have a lot on your plate and I will do my best to help love ❤️
Hey dear Simin !! 😊😊 I also can’t stand the banana smell 😅 and those banana bubble gum 🤢 I just can’t . I am waiting for my Shaghaf Toffee to arrive in the mail … now I don’t know if I will like it … we’ll see 😅 It’s always a pleasure to see you !! Love your personality and authenticity ❤️🫶 Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 💋
Hey gorgeous ♥️ Someone relates with me! Yayyyy! It’s weird coz I used to love bananas as a kid. Babe, I hope you like the Vanilla Toffee. Do lemme know what your experience is though coz I really feel mine need to mature a little. Someone else commented that hers is so much better now in just a week. And now for her it’s soft feminine. Can’t wait for mine to be the same way. Thank you gorgeous ♥️ I am so happy I have so much kindness around me and I love you for that! So much love from Dubai ♥️ xo
@@SiminShaikh I really hope your shaghaf Toffee will improve and you will be able to love it ! Fingers crossed I will love mine...I will be giving it time to macerate of course 😊 Love you ❤ My name is Sónia and I also have a perfumes channel 😊 I would be so grateful if you could subscribe 😊🙏🏻
Thank you so much for enquiring about my travel dates hon. I’m afraid my trip already ended 😭 it was a very short trip of 2 days and my dad fell really sick once we landed so we didn’t do much. I just spent the entire time being super anxious, running to pharmacies and worried sick about him, but thankfully he’s doing much better now. I would have so LOVED to have met you. It would have made my entire year. But I know if we visit Dubai again, the thing I would want MOST would be to see you hon ❤ It’s something I look forward to.
Oh no hun ❤ How is your dad? I hope he is all well now and you are not under any stress. It is the scariest thing when parent get sick. My mom broke her wrist and they have installed 4 metal thingies to keep her wrist stable. They are sticking out of her skin. It is so painful to watch. Yes I would have loved to have met with you but under better circumstances. I am glad you went back but I know you will return one day and I will give you a proper Itinerary for it ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikhOh my gosh! I’m so so sorry to hear Simin hon. That must have been so hard for her and for you to see her that way. Sending so many prayers and get well soon wishes to your dear mom. Hoping and praying she makes a speedy recovery. How is she doing now? My dad is entirely recovered hon. Thank you so much for asking! I look forward to the time I can visit Dubai and God willing meet you in the future ❤
Hey my lovely hon. You look so stunningly beautiful. So lovely to watch your new video. I am so sorry that it was so exhausting for you and that your Rode microphone is damaged. I know these are not cheap but wonderful microphones. Gerry just bought himself one for his music ( for vocals). I hope it will be fixed soon without much cost. I felt overwhelmed just watching coverage from the Beautyworld Exhibition and I was watching from the comfort of my own chair. So many people, so many fragrances, it is so easy to get overwhelmed. Such interesting perfumes. Gerry has some holidays now and needs relaxation pretty badly. My blood test results were pretty concerning, to say the least but I am hoping they will ( magically perhaps .... 😅) improve, with rest and doing all the right things ( started on the heathy life style changes ) and not get worse. I was shocked how much my results had worsened within 8 months or so. I also was diagnosed with Anemia , which explains why I am so pale ( I have gold olive skin and a tan but am actually very pale compared to last year) and so extremely fatigued. At least that can be helped with a script of high dose iron treatments. But the other results not so much, except for trying to drink a lot more water for my poor kidneys. I am taking things a lot slower right now and not going online as much. But just wanted to say thank you and I love your video as always, smoochies to dear Markus, purrs from Pushkin and Sunti and so much love ❤and light 💛💫to you dear friend. Forever yours, Tia ❤🧡❤
Hey my hun ❤️ Thank you so so much my babe ❤️ How much I have missed you. I was wondering how you must be holding up in the cold weather conditions. Yea my mic got busted. I had to buy new ones. This time I got the DJI Mic 2 coz I don't trust Rode anymore. I did a software update and the mic stopped working after that. Yes my hun. You know me so well. I was so overwhelmed despite taking anxiety meds. I will try and plan it better next year hopefully lol. Oh no :( babe I think you and Gerry should go for a mini break somewhere. Just to relax and unwind. Oh my word! I am so sorry to hear about your blood results babe. This is why I am so afraid to do them. I just know I will find issues lol. Ignorance is bliss :) No no I will get mine done soon as well. I just hope the iron meds help because low iron can wreak havoc and cause so many complications. My hun, please take care of yourself and if you need anything from me, please lemme know my love ❤️❤️❤️ So much love to Pushkin & Sunti ❤️ The furbaby angels ❤️ Forever your fried and sis, Sim ❤️ xo
@@SiminShaikh Hey, my hun ❤❤❤. Thank you for your so warm words. The weather is sloooowly warming up. 23 C tomorrow and next weekend will have real warmth with 29 or 30 C. I actually love the temperatures under 25 C the best. But so glad it looks as if the weather will stabilize a bit more ( as best it can on an island that says " next stop Antarctica " 🤣). We have had some shockingly cold winds, they are called the Southerlies and come from the very south 😂. We went for a walk along our bay and I was so cold that I tried to run rather than walk as I could not shiver fast enough 😅, it was 16 degrees and warm in the sunshine (if you were sheltered from that icy wind) but today on Gerry's first official day of his vacation, it has been a perfect day. Peaceful, calming filled with so many birds. It was incredible. Gerry put a huge amount of bird seed out and they spent all day here with us and of course Pushkin and Sunti were so excited to see them all so close up. I think Sunti will be so exhausted as he ran from the sunroom to the lounge, from window to window, chirruping and doing his chuckle sounds. I was worried for you as I wondered how tough the Expo would be for you with all the crowds and noise and so on. Please look after yourself , my angel. I am so sorry the Rode has given up the ghost. I think Gerry loves his Rode as it suits his vocals so much ( with singing and recording his music) , hopefully there will not be such an issue with it. I am so sorry you had to purchase new ones. I think if we can have nice relaxing days like today and also we have day trips planned and I want to drive my new car to the midlands of Tasmania ( a really great drive, mostly highway) into this lovely little town that has such delightful cafes. Such happy memories from that place as it is almost half way to the city we used to drive to for concerts from international bands. Memories of times with our best friends as we would drive there in the afternoon and drive back home that same night. I am learning to drink water as the results of my tests really scared me and still make me feel anxious. I really must admit I did not ask for the blood tests etc , I just wanted to know why I am so pale and so shockingly fatigued, worse than I have ever been even with bad fibro, I knew something was different. Hopefully most if it is caused by the anaemia and my iron count will improve quickly. ( I was told it can take up to 6 weeks until I feel the benefits , I hope that I feel better sooner). I am glad it is anemia that seems to be causing my shaking and trembling as this came on suddenly and really is no fun, especially if you are trying to create a video or montage 🤣. Our little furry angels are so loved and show so much love, I am sure they know I am not well right now. I hope dear Markus is giving you also lots of love, please give him smoochies 🙀from me and our babies. 😻😽 Purrs from our darlings to you. 😻😸. So much love ❤💝❤and light to you. 💛🧡💛🧡 Forever your fried and sis, Tia xx😘
Hey gorgeous ❤️ I feel you, I'm not really getting the sweet toffee vibe vibe either 😭 Hoping it will acerate into something more wearable for me. But I'm so glad the Tobacco is working out for you, it's a real winner for me as well ❤️ Love!!!
Hi, Sim! ❤ Despite technical difficulties, I hope you still enjoyed Beauty World UAE. Tiramisu Speculoos sounds delicious! My sisters and I love Cinnabon. ❤ It hurts my diabetic self when I found out how much sugar is used for it. 😭
Hey gorgeous!!! ❤ I know right?! Cinnabon is the best! But not for the waistline for sure. I have insulin resistance and I know what it does to me lol. I do however share a bite or two from Ali ❤
Oh interesting! I blind bought Banana bliss based off of other reviews I had seen, it sounded perfect for me. Your review is completely different from the others! Curious to see if I resonate more with you or the other women once it arrives
Hi Sim! Thanks for honest review on Vanilla toffee...just so weird to see this hype around it. Its definitely not a girly girl perfume. I wanted to buy it blindly and good that didn't do so, and tried it first in one of malls. I sprayed it generosly all over myself and after...couldn't wait to reach home to remove my cloth and put to laundry. To me it smelled bad. Like something sweet got spoiled or expired ,definitely wont like to smell so, very artifical smell and not typical perfume with vanilla.....
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Babe! I am so happy to know that you tried it before buying it! I did the exact same thing during beauty world. I over sprayed it. But was not sure which perfume is bothering me. It was only at home I realized it was this one. I am still having hopes that it will change within a week or two coz there are parts of it which I really enjoy, just not that strange note I am also getting like you ❤
Hi Simin, I've been waiting for your review on "Vanilla Toffee" and "Ministry of Gourmand collection"!!! I cant wait for Tiramisu Speculoos & Banana Bliss to be released in India as I've been searching for a good realistic gourmand perfume. Also I thought "Vanilla Toffee" would be a realistic gourmand based on the promotions but I still plan to invest in it!!! Please do a maceration update on these 3 after few months!!! 😊
Hello beautiful, I hope all these beautiful babies are available to you soon ❤ I will definitely try and do an update on these perfumes after maceration! People have commented that Vanilla Toffee changed for them within just a week. So maybe I will make a short for the update ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh Thank you Simin, I also think it will change as it macerates cause i have a perfume oil that smells like toffee/caramel popcorn. when i first got it, it smelled soo synthetically bad i cant describe the smell. But after you told me the burnt sugar + coffee smell i thought thats the same smell i got. But now its been almost 6 months and that smell is almost gone, now its pure buttery toffee. I think they might be using the same perfume chemical here also so there is a hope it will be better!!! But also since swiss arabian perfumes dont need maceration I'm not 100% sure 😅.
The swiss Arabian vanilla toffee is $80. For that price it needs to be fully macerated at purchase. The fact that it still needs to macerate is insane and asinine. I can buy other perfumes for that price that are developed and ready to use. Swiss Arabian has lost their mind charging that much 🙄.
Hey my hun ♥️ Someone else here commented that just within a week her perfume got more smooth and feminine. I hope mine does soon as well. I am spraying out regularly so that it does. On a different note, i do feel the prices are getting too steep. I miss the good old days ♥️
New releases are overpriced especially the overhyped. I never buy them from the beginning. I’m waiting. Confession her is in Germany now available between 50-90€!!! That’s insane. I’ll never buy a ME perfume for that price.
I think it is a little late for that. Lol. Babe when I first started reviewing, the perfumes were soooo reasonable. Now the prices are just escalating :(
Yo era de las que pensaba que iba a ser un perfume dulce caramelizado y goloso. Menos mal que vi esta reseña. Quitado de mi lista de compras y más que no está tan barato.
Hola mi cariño ❤️ Sí, creo que mucha gente pensó que sería dulce como un caramelo por el nombre. Así no es. Estoy feliz de poder ser de ayuda mi ángel. Tanto amor a tu manera ❤️
@SiminShaikh hello, even the Opulence of Dubai? I've been searching for that specific fragrance. Either it's out of stock or being sold at a ridiculous price.
it reminds me of a soft cookie spicy base, I love it! When i first spray it i can barley smell it. This is a soft scent to me. Reminds me of Bath and body mocha cafe mist mixed with bbw Christmas cookies mist!
Hey my hun ❤ It’s definitely a very complex fragrance. Let’s hope it mellows out to be a gourmand dream ❤️ I have high hopes coz many commented that their got much creamier in just one week ❤
Noooooo just the thought of loosing my babies lol. Thats a great video idea babe. I filmed one already for y current selections from the new ones. But I will make one based on your question as well ❤️
Happy Thursday my Beautiful Friend!❤❤❤ Thank you for your review on these great fragrances! I must tell you, I am the most excited about Khadlaj and their new Gourmand line of scents, oh my!!! There is one in particular that I'm most excited about, but the chocolate and strawberry are super pretty, and because they're Khadlaj perfumes, I know they are going to smell Fantastic!❤❤❤
Hey Gorgeous! ❤ I always get a smile when I see your comment. Khadlaj never disappoints, I love how they always have such unique blends and the gourmand line is going to be insane! 😍😍😍
Vanilla Toffee is a love. It did not smell strong at all , It smells very soft and light to me especially when you first spray out. Its not a loud scent.
Hey my hun ❤ I am letting mine rest for bit, coz it is still very harsh after a week. I know it will get better for sure and I cannot wait to start using it
Yes, Sim!!! I hate bananas!! The texture, the smell, all of it. My niece was addicted to mashed banana and cereal when she was a niblet and I had such a hard time feeding her. You know how babies spit out, like, half of their bit and you have to stick it back in their mouth?? Well that...with mashed banana...was my WAKING NIGHTMARE 😩🤢🤮🤮🤮
Oh no hun! I just got a visceral reaction hearing about your experience. I am sooooo sorry lol. So weird how some smells are so repulsive to us right? ❤️
Woaaaaaahhhh!!! And we all here are complaining about it being USD80. That is just not ok. There has to be MRP control across all countries with distributors. Sorry hun ❤
So with you on the banana thing - banoffee pie is the biggest abomination in the world of desserts! Why would anyone want to smell of banana, unless you're under the age of 5! 💕
Tiramisu bottle is completely WRONG. They should have used that bottle for a fragrance that had something (anything!!) to do with an alcoholic beverage note, or accord. The bottle makes absolutely no sense as it relates to this fragrance. Some people should not be in the marketing field. 😳
Simmie! Gorgeous girl, oh my goodness. You know that I love your clothes. What you're wearing now is my absolute favorite! So beautiful! The colors are magic on your skin.
I saw the surgeon today. I'm having a minor procedure in a few weeks as a diagnostic tool. It's all terribly complicated but I'm in good hands. Keep me in your prayers.❤
It was a hectic day but I saved this video for when I put on my pajamas and got into bed with my electric blanket. It's officially Fall and I'm finally getting to wear my new sweaters and use my blanket on my sore joints!🍂🍁😂
I'm going to watch this now. Sending so much love and support.❤❤
Hey beautiful ❤
I am smiling again seeing you message here. Your beautiful soul shines across the globe. Thank you my hun ❤ I wanted to look special for Diwali at work ❤❤❤
Oh babe. I promise I always keep you in my prayers. I dont ever want any of my friends to be in pain. I hope this procedure reveals a path to the cure.
I could actually feel you pain and the relief you feel with the heated blanket. I hope the sun shines its warmth on you and takes away all your pain.
Babe, please dont feel compelled to comment when you are keeping unwell. I love you for what you do, but I really want you to get better first ❤ Sending healing energy, love and warmth your way my Angel ❤❤❤
Shaghaf Vanilla toffee is so beautiful, I got it on the launch day in Dubai before the beauty exhibition and it has already changed! For me the burned caramel note was too strong but still decided to buy it as strangely I got quickly addicted to it. In the first days I was getting this burned note even in the dry down but few weeks later now it has dicreased a lot and it's more creamier and I got a stronger walnut as well. It's a beauty. I layer it with Shaghaf oud azraq to get a toffee / cinnamon combo or with shaghaf oud tonka to associate it with almonds. These combos are 🎉
I love Banana bliss 😍 it's a banana pudding from magniola bakery! But you are right obviously you need to love banana to be able to enjoy this scent profile. For me it's a 10/10, it's so realistic and gourmand. I don't get the cilantro note that you said but in voux pâtisserie I get a very very strong cilentro/cardamom note.
Thank you again for these great reviews! Can't wait to see the lineup for the amazing releases!
Hey my hun ♥️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience with me babe. A couple of people have told me how much Vanilla Toffee changes in just a week or two. Of it just gets a little creamier, I know I will love it. Omg I can’t wait to layer it with Azraq and Tonka now 😍
Yessssss! The banana pudding from Magnolia! Wasn’t sure if everyone would get the reference ♥️ Unfortunately for me banana just does not cut it. Oh yes surprisingly the cilantro note only kicks in for me at later stage. Weird.
Thanks my hun for sharing such a detailed review. I love it 🥰 🤗♥️
It is always a beautiful day when it starts with Simin! I'm so glad you pointed out fragrances at the show that other people didn't mention, especially the Khadlaj oils. I love the Tiramisiu fragrance so much, it does make me hungry though. :)
Hahaha I know right! Cinnamon Roll cravings activated!
You are always welcome beautiful ❤ xo
I love Vanilla Toffee and I'm glad that it's not a Basic perfume, I feel toffee with coffee and the spiciness of kardamom with dattes and then Madagascar vanilla comes after🍭🍬🥰❤️
I think the combination of dattes and cardamom bothers you🤔🤔😘
Great video, Simin ❤ . PS I have Tobacco 01 ,also
Hey gorgeous!
I love how clear you are with communicating your experience with perfumes ❤
The date-cinnamon-coffee combo is usually something I vibe with but what I am getting is like an animalic honey (which someone in comments kindly make clear to me). I am confident however that in a week or two it will change coz many people faced the same issue as I, but now love it coz it got much creamier.
Do you like to Tobacco 01?
@@SiminShaikh oooo yessss 🤪😋😘❤️
@@SiminShaikh I generally like strange, out-of-the-box perfumes🤪😉😁😁❤️
Glad to see you😊 I have slowed down on buying because everyone has jumped on the middle eastern fragrance train, prices are no longer affordable for me😢 but I will still watch your videos ❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤️
I am so upset with the ME frags prices going out of hand. Anything above 60USD is just insane. The whole idea was to be worthy and accessible to everyone. Thats unfortunately not the case anymore. Babe, thank you for still supporting me ❤️❤️❤️
@@SiminShaikhit’s ok! I have a nice stock that will last me😊 if you review something that really stands out to me, I will add to my Christmas list😂. ❤
Hi Simin. With so many releases, a trustworthy and honest person is a must have❤. Luckily, we have you❤. Thank you❤❤❤
My hun, thank you ❤
Thank you for trusting me. You have no idea how important that is for me ❤ xo
Then I will definitely look out for Musk pour Amber, I've already been obsessed with Bayn Al Asrar it this whole autumn and I would love a variation on this awesome unique theme!
Btw I'm glad you're getting PR to talk to us about, and hearing it straight up from honest creators actually makes it more so I think.
Hey gorgeous! ❤
I have been overwearing two perfumes off late, ok maybe more than two but lol.
One is Musk pour Amber and the other is Nobel Blush by Lattafa ❤ They both are straight up pretty girl perfumes ❤❤❤
Thank you for you faith in me babe. I hope I always like up to it ❤ xo
@@SiminShaikh Thank you, that's great to read! The moment I heard comparisons of Noble Blush to Yara I internally noped out 😅 but then I heard Guidance and I'm in.. Excited to hear the opinions on it that will surely be coming.
Much love to you as always ❤❤❤
hi simin, i blind bought the khair confection😄would love a maceration update video. in the meantime, so excited for this one💗💗
Heya hun ♥️
Omg! Plssss lemme know what you think of it coz it’s one of my current go to perfumes ♥️
@SiminShaikh definitely! i'll let you know as soon as it arrives🤍
Thanks and I always looking forward to your review. I also didn't like eating banana let alone wearing it. 😊
I feel ya hun ❤ Its the smell isnt it? Thtas what bothers us.
Dear Simin, love your honest reviews 🤍 my Vanilla Toffe is on the way and after your description I’m sure I will like it! it’s just a kind of fragrance that I’m looking for 🙏 big hugs from Croatia 🇭🇷
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤
Can you please lemme know what you think about it when you get it? I will also update in a week or two since everyone is saying it gets creamier ❤
I will 🙏 can’t wait 😇
You make it easy for us to understand what is happening and make a decision
Thank you my hun ❤ I used to feel I over explain but thanks to you all I feel it is necessary sometimes ❤ xo
Adoro le tue spiegazioni! E ti ho scoperta da poco! Ho comprato silkyRose di lattafa e me ne sono innamorata!!! 🤍 grazie per le recensioni
Ciao bella! ❤️
Sono così felice di stringere amicizia con persone in tutto il mondo. Questo è enorme per me. Grazie mille per avermi mostrato gentilezza, mio caro tesoro.
Tanto amore da Dubai ❤️
Super video Queen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 . Slowly they have to reduce all new releases perfumes that smells like foods . I love sweet and dark gourmand perfumes , but like pudding , bread , cookies come on now
Hey beautiful hun ❤
I totally agree! I have started using more of my old perfumes now coz I am kinda overdosed on gourmands. So I realized that anything that smells like a bakery or patisserie, I usually dont like. Coz they are a little heady and Dubai is always hot lol 😅
@SiminShaikh right?? And why we want to smell like cakes ? It has to be perfumes and not bakery
Hi Sim❤thank You for this wideo 😘
My gorgeous hun, my angel! You are always welcome 🤗♥️
Honestly the only new release I was excited about was Lattafa Noble Blush and it did not disappoint. It's not even mascerated yet and it still lovely.
I got it and I absolutely love it too! Such a pretty perfume ♥️
Yo estaba animada con ese perfume pero ya varias me han dicho que se parece mucho a Yara. Me gusta Yara pero no quiero otro parecido.
Hey how does it smell? Is it comparable to something?
@@vypanchy i personally do not find it comparable to another perfume. It's a creamy, feminine, gourmand almond rose. Its not a heady rose. This is definitely gourmand and you dont need to love rose to enjoy it. It literally smells like the color pink. It's what I had hoped Yara wouldve been.
@@Plusdeplacenyc sounds right up my alley! I hope it becomes available in my country soon!
Oh wow! I need a bottle of Musk Pour Amber as I love Guidance ❤
Oh babe ♥️ you gonna love this one then ♥️ it’s not exactly the same though but it gives me the same comfort 🤗
I love guidance too
Hello hie,thank you so much for taking your time to explain
Oh hun, you are so sweet! It was my pleasure! 😘🥰❤
The fact that you always give your honest opinion on fragrances is what I value the most about you ❤ Thank you so much Simin hon for talking about Vanilla Toffee. I hope it gets better with time but I think I’ll wait for your maceration/maturation update video before investing in this one. You’re always helping us make the best perfume decisions 😘😘
Edit: hahahahah I hate banana everything too 🙌🏽 im so so happy I waited for your review before deciding on Banana bliss. You always always steer me right! ❤
You’re always welcome, my gorgeous! Vanilla Toffee definitely needs time to settle so it's good you're holding off for now! ♥️ Also, even after maceration, I don't think it will be a sweet toffee perfume. It is very complex. I will post an update for you soon hun ❤
Thank you for appreciating me. I know my first priority is to give my honest thought. Karma is real and I reaaaally believe in it ❤❤❤ I dont want anyone spending their hard earned money on anything that is not worth it.
Thank you fo review
Hey my hun
You are always welcome ♥️
Me tooooo! I love tobacco in perfumes. Thank goodness it’s not just in men’s perfumes anymore lol.
Do test the Banana bliss babe. I really am interested to know what everyone thinks of it ♥️
@@SiminShaikh in general - I see folks on our facebook perfume group - rather disappointed with Banana Bliss, saying same as you - that it's banana bread smell
Welcome back Simin I bet you get more goodies.I cant wait Vanilla Toffee to hit here. it is selling $70 US.
Hey my hun ♥️
Pls do lemme know what your experience is like with it. It is such a unique fragrance and I would love to know how different noses perceive it ♥️ xo
Hey Simin. My Vanilla Toffee arrived. It's a love for me as it's very tame/feminine in comparison to my strongest coffee scent. I know what you mean about something that's bothering you in the mid. It becomes almost like an animalic honey note, comparable to a stage that Teriaq goes through, and I seem to recall you weren't fond of that?
I got a few free samples, including Tobacco 01, and that reminds me very much of Side Effect.
Hope you enjoyed your time at Beauty World, despite any challenges.
Heya hun ♥️
I cannot thank you enough for letting me know it’s the animalic honey! It’s been driving me mad to describe it. Now I can be at peace. You are absolutely right. It’s the same feeling I get from Teriaq.
I had a feeling that it needs to settle coz my bottle definitely feels too segmented if you know what I mean.
I really need to smell side effect again but do like Tobacco 01 more than the Vanilla Toffee.
I did my hun. It was a great experience. I prolly will carry back up filming devices next year lol 🤗♥️
Hello lovely angel! Thank you for the video. Take care :)
Thank you my darling! ❤️❤️❤️ I wish you the most beautiful day ever!
Ohhh so many perfumes here that I’ve been hoping you’ll talk about ❤ Thank you so much for always bringing the best content to us Simin darling! Just a few minutes in and I’m already LOVING the video! So happy you got another bottle of opulence of dubai 😍❤️ You absolutely deserve it!
Thank you my Angel ❤
You have supported me for such a long time. You have no idea how much that means to me and how much I love you for it ❤ xo
P.S. I was over the moon receiving that additional Opulence of Dubai bottle lol
If it works for you don’t fix it!. Interested in the guidance dupe. Even though I have the other. Love your review. Take care.
Hey my hun
When you do pls lemme know what you think ♥️🤗
Im here.. Longggggggg waited love...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hehehe thank you gorgeous ♥️ I know took way too long to post this one
@SiminShaikh plz do more review on feminine tobacco and Cardamom based Middle Eastern perfumes.
Sim, you described Vanilla Toffee perfectly! I found it incredibly sweet and thick at the opening, with tons of toffee and caramel. It lasted about 15 minutes. It then settled into coffee, as you said not prominent but present. It's opening reminds me of Surrati Royal Musk Caramel Toffee. It also reminded me of holiday candles, smokey caramely toffee and woods. I will let it sit for a bit. I start enjoying it at about the 45 minute to one hour mark.
Babe! Thank you! When you mentioned the candles I realized it was bath and body hand wash. I don’t remember the name. That’s the weird smell i thinking of! I will try and remember the name for it. It was from the holiday edition. Many people have commented that Vanillla Toffee gets much creamier within a week. So jury is still out for this one ♥️😍
Hola Simin !!! Oooohhhhh que lindos perfumes !!!! Pero estoy de acuerdo contigo, yo como banana pero no me gusta nada con sabor ni olor a banana 😅
Has visto Yum Yum de Armaf ?? Es una copa de helado, parece infantil pero a mí me gusta esa botella 😍 Besos desde el otro lado del mundo, Chile 🇨🇱😘😘😘
Hola mi cariño ❤
Gracias hermosa. Estoy entusiasmado con todos estos nuevos lanzamientos pero espero que vengan en Installaments jajaja.
Exacto, nunca podría usar un aroma a plátano en mí 😅
Mucho amor a tu manera, cariño ❤❤❤
Happy you are back😀
My babe 🤗♥️ I am too! Making such videos is my fav! More than blogging for sure 😂
Simin, I got that black sugar note at the top, too. Oxygenation helped mine. I love the way they did the butterscotch in this Vanilla Toffee. It is one of the most complex gourmands in my collection. I am finding mine smoothing and blending together. This one does need time, unusual for Swiss Arabian. About Tobacco 01, is it similar to Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition (love that one)? ❤❤❤
Thank you for reviewing these, Simin 😊 Blessings
Hey gorgeous ❤
So glad we are on the same page regarding the black sugar! I can’t wait for mine to smooth and blend together, coz it is definitely is a very complex perfume which we need for a change in the gourmand category.
Tobacco 01 is completely different from Amber Oud Tobacco, which is good news. I had the same initial expectation lol. Funny how we think alike. But this Tobacco 01 is as elevated and unique as the Vanilla Toffee and I like it more ❤ Hope this helps babe xo
@SiminShaikh I am glad to hear that about Tobacco 01. I put off ordering until I got some reassurance it was not too masculine or redundant. 😊 Blessings ❤
Love your video ❤❤❤
My love, you are always welcome ❤
Hi Simin, I’m so happy you reviewed Tiramisu! I was waiting for a full review because I trust you and feel like I can blind buy. In your opinion, do you like Tiramisu or Eclaire better? For reference, I love Cheirosa 71!
Hey Gorgeous! ❤
Thank you my hun.
If you like Cheriosa 71, you will enjoy Tiramisu more in my opinion. While Tiramisu smells like a wearable Cinnamon Roll, Eclaire smells straight up like Toffee.
@ Cinnamon buns it is! 💗thank you!
happy diwali simin 🥰
Happy Diwali gorgeous ♥️🤗
Thanks for reviewing these new releases, I’m 🛍️🛍️🛍️🙏🏿😊
Hehehe you are so welcome my beautiful hun ❤
Vanilla Toffee smells like burnt sugar to me and it stays, I get maybe 25 seconds of toffee in the beginning which was delicious, after that only burnt sugar for hours. I got rid of it, didn't want to wait for it to macerate 😂.
I'm waiting for tiramisu speculoos to arrive, I'm excited about that one 😊. I happen to just buy Treaclemoon cinnamon bun shower gel, I think it would go with Tiramisu speculoos perfectly 😊
Have you tried Eclat de lune from Maison Alhambra? I bought it for the pretty bottle without knowing any of the notes but I actually really like the scent, I just don't know what I'm smelling 😂 it's a soft sweet perfume
Heya hun ❤
They perhaps chose the wrong name for the perfume. Lol. I know what you feel babe. Some comments here have indicated that it gets better and creamier within a week, so I will do a maceration update for it. I hope it looses that burnt something and that weird fruit smell.
Ooooooh I love the layering suggestion here. Fall season ready for sure! ❤❤❤
Unfortunately, Maison AlHambra is not sold here in UAE. So i have not tried many perfumes from this brand.
I have been getting banana everything lately so a banana perfume made me laugh I'll proudly get it soon lol ❤
Hahahaa this is a sign lol ♥️🤗
Banana Bliss totally smelled like banana bread to me too! In the area I live, we don't have Cinnabon shops. But our Pizza Hut serves their rolls, so I order a box every Friday night. That fresh-baked smell is something special 😂
Haha! I am so glad we are on the same page. I do think a lot of people will enjoy it. In the meanwhile, I shalll enjoy my Tiramisu Speculoos hehehe! ❤️
I heard it smells similar to Sticky Dates from Lush which I ADORE ❤
Hey my hun
I love sticky dates but they smelled different to me. Waiting for my bottle to macerate for proper experience though ♥️
Sim, so glad to have you back❤!!! Your review of vanilla toffee was very helpful, I think many people think it’s girly girl sweet and are disappointed, I will wait. It’s expensive in US. I love banana bliss and tiramisu speculos, but I have never seen such a horrendous cap. The bottle and cap represents the brand, so that’s a big fail. Can’t wait for more Khadlaj
Hey my hun ❤️
I too thought it will be a unique edible gourmand. I think the name choice is very poor. I like that it is unique but it i soooo polarizing. The good news is a lot of users claim that it got much sweeter and creamier after maceration. I hope my bottle does the same. I will keep you posted hun ❤️
Hahahaaa, i feel you about the cap 😂
Hi Simin!
I've been watching your videos since last year and I always come back to your reviews whenever i'm interested to buy a certain ME fragrance. I actually bought my first one (bint hooran) because of your review ❤️
My fiancè and i will be getting married next year and i'm looking for the perfect perfume for the both of us to wear on our special day. Perhaps you have recommendations on what we could try? Thanks! 🫶🏻
Hey gorgeous!
You are getting married next year! That's so exciting! Tell me about your fragrance preferences and I'll see if we can find something that works for both of you ❤ I know you have a lot on your plate and I will do my best to help love ❤️
Hey dear Simin !! 😊😊 I also can’t stand the banana smell 😅 and those banana bubble gum 🤢 I just can’t . I am waiting for my Shaghaf Toffee to arrive in the mail … now I don’t know if I will like it … we’ll see 😅 It’s always a pleasure to see you !! Love your personality and authenticity ❤️🫶 Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 💋
Hey gorgeous ♥️
Someone relates with me! Yayyyy! It’s weird coz I used to love bananas as a kid.
Babe, I hope you like the Vanilla Toffee. Do lemme know what your experience is though coz I really feel mine need to mature a little. Someone else commented that hers is so much better now in just a week. And now for her it’s soft feminine. Can’t wait for mine to be the same way.
Thank you gorgeous ♥️ I am so happy I have so much kindness around me and I love you for that!
So much love from Dubai ♥️ xo
@@SiminShaikh I really hope your shaghaf Toffee will improve and you will be able to love it ! Fingers crossed I will love mine...I will be giving it time to macerate of course 😊 Love you ❤ My name is Sónia and I also have a perfumes channel 😊 I would be so grateful if you could subscribe 😊🙏🏻
Thank you so much for enquiring about my travel dates hon. I’m afraid my trip already ended 😭 it was a very short trip of 2 days and my dad fell really sick once we landed so we didn’t do much. I just spent the entire time being super anxious, running to pharmacies and worried sick about him, but thankfully he’s doing much better now. I would have so LOVED to have met you. It would have made my entire year. But I know if we visit Dubai again, the thing I would want MOST would be to see you hon ❤ It’s something I look forward to.
Oh no hun ❤
How is your dad? I hope he is all well now and you are not under any stress. It is the scariest thing when parent get sick. My mom broke her wrist and they have installed 4 metal thingies to keep her wrist stable. They are sticking out of her skin. It is so painful to watch.
Yes I would have loved to have met with you but under better circumstances. I am glad you went back but I know you will return one day and I will give you a proper Itinerary for it ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikhOh my gosh! I’m so so sorry to hear Simin hon. That must have been so hard for her and for you to see her that way. Sending so many prayers and get well soon wishes to your dear mom. Hoping and praying she makes a speedy recovery. How is she doing now?
My dad is entirely recovered hon. Thank you so much for asking! I look forward to the time I can visit Dubai and God willing meet you in the future ❤
Hey my lovely hon. You look so stunningly beautiful. So lovely to watch your new video. I am so sorry that it was so exhausting for you and that your Rode microphone is damaged. I know these are not cheap but wonderful microphones. Gerry just bought himself one for his music ( for vocals). I hope it will be fixed soon without much cost. I felt overwhelmed just watching coverage from the Beautyworld Exhibition and I was watching from the comfort of my own chair. So many people, so many fragrances, it is so easy to get overwhelmed. Such interesting perfumes.
Gerry has some holidays now and needs relaxation pretty badly.
My blood test results were pretty concerning, to say the least but I am hoping they will ( magically perhaps .... 😅) improve, with rest and doing all the right things ( started on the heathy life style changes ) and not get worse. I was shocked how much my results had worsened within 8 months or so. I also was diagnosed with Anemia , which explains why I am so pale ( I have gold olive skin and a tan but am actually very pale compared to last year) and so extremely fatigued. At least that can be helped with a script of high dose iron treatments. But the other results not so much, except for trying to drink a lot more water for my poor kidneys.
I am taking things a lot slower right now and not going online as much. But just wanted to say thank you and I love your video as always, smoochies to dear Markus, purrs from Pushkin and Sunti and so much love ❤and light 💛💫to you dear friend. Forever yours, Tia ❤🧡❤
Hey my hun ❤️
Thank you so so much my babe ❤️ How much I have missed you. I was wondering how you must be holding up in the cold weather conditions.
Yea my mic got busted. I had to buy new ones. This time I got the DJI Mic 2 coz I don't trust Rode anymore. I did a software update and the mic stopped working after that.
Yes my hun. You know me so well. I was so overwhelmed despite taking anxiety meds. I will try and plan it better next year hopefully lol.
Oh no :( babe I think you and Gerry should go for a mini break somewhere. Just to relax and unwind.
Oh my word! I am so sorry to hear about your blood results babe. This is why I am so afraid to do them. I just know I will find issues lol. Ignorance is bliss :) No no I will get mine done soon as well. I just hope the iron meds help because low iron can wreak havoc and cause so many complications.
My hun, please take care of yourself and if you need anything from me, please lemme know my love ❤️❤️❤️
So much love to Pushkin & Sunti ❤️ The furbaby angels ❤️
Forever your fried and sis, Sim ❤️ xo
@@SiminShaikh Hey, my hun ❤❤❤. Thank you for your so warm words. The weather is sloooowly warming up. 23 C tomorrow and next weekend will have real warmth with 29 or 30 C. I actually love the temperatures under 25 C the best. But so glad it looks as if the weather will stabilize a bit more ( as best it can on an island that says " next stop Antarctica " 🤣). We have had some shockingly cold winds, they are called the Southerlies and come from the very south 😂. We went for a walk along our bay and I was so cold that I tried to run rather than walk as I could not shiver fast enough 😅, it was 16 degrees and warm in the sunshine (if you were sheltered from that icy wind) but today on Gerry's first official day of his vacation, it has been a perfect day. Peaceful, calming filled with so many birds. It was incredible. Gerry put a huge amount of bird seed out and they spent all day here with us and of course Pushkin and Sunti were so excited to see them all so close up. I think Sunti will be so exhausted as he ran from the sunroom to the lounge, from window to window, chirruping and doing his chuckle sounds. I was worried for you as I wondered how tough the Expo would be for you with all the crowds and noise and so on. Please look after yourself , my angel. I am so sorry the Rode has given up the ghost. I think Gerry loves his Rode as it suits his vocals so much ( with singing and recording his music) , hopefully there will not be such an issue with it. I am so sorry you had to purchase new ones. I think if we can have nice relaxing days like today and also we have day trips planned and I want to drive my new car to the midlands of Tasmania ( a really great drive, mostly highway) into this lovely little town that has such delightful cafes. Such happy memories from that place as it is almost half way to the city we used to drive to for concerts from international bands. Memories of times with our best friends as we would drive there in the afternoon and drive back home that same night. I am learning to drink water as the results of my tests really scared me and still make me feel anxious. I really must admit I did not ask for the blood tests etc , I just wanted to know why I am so pale and so shockingly fatigued, worse than I have ever been even with bad fibro, I knew something was different. Hopefully most if it is caused by the anaemia and my iron count will improve quickly. ( I was told it can take up to 6 weeks until I feel the benefits , I hope that I feel better sooner). I am glad it is anemia that seems to be causing my shaking and trembling as this came on suddenly and really is no fun, especially if you are trying to create a video or montage 🤣. Our little furry angels are so loved and show so much love, I am sure they know I am not well right now. I hope dear Markus is giving you also lots of love, please give him smoochies 🙀from me and our babies. 😻😽 Purrs from our darlings to you. 😻😸. So much love ❤💝❤and light to you. 💛🧡💛🧡 Forever your fried and sis, Tia xx😘
My favorite ladyyyyy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My beautiful hun 🤗♥️
I didn’t like the toffee one, it feels really masculine on me. But the tobacco was such a great surprise 🥰 I really love it
Hey gorgeous ❤️
I feel you, I'm not really getting the sweet toffee vibe vibe either 😭 Hoping it will acerate into something more wearable for me. But I'm so glad the Tobacco is working out for you, it's a real winner for me as well ❤️ Love!!!
Hi, Sim! ❤ Despite technical difficulties, I hope you still enjoyed Beauty World UAE.
Tiramisu Speculoos sounds delicious! My sisters and I love Cinnabon. ❤ It hurts my diabetic self when I found out how much sugar is used for it. 😭
Hey gorgeous!!! ❤
I know right?! Cinnabon is the best! But not for the waistline for sure. I have insulin resistance and I know what it does to me lol. I do however share a bite or two from Ali ❤
Oh interesting! I blind bought Banana bliss based off of other reviews I had seen, it sounded perfect for me. Your review is completely different from the others! Curious to see if I resonate more with you or the other women once it arrives
Oh shoot! Now I really wanna know what you think. Babe pls pls lemme know once you do yea? ♥️🤗
I blind bought BB too and hurried to cancel it
Hi Sim! Thanks for honest review on Vanilla toffee...just so weird to see this hype around it. Its definitely not a girly girl perfume. I wanted to buy it blindly and good that didn't do so, and tried it first in one of malls. I sprayed it generosly all over myself and after...couldn't wait to reach home to remove my cloth and put to laundry. To me it smelled bad. Like something sweet got spoiled or expired ,definitely wont like to smell so, very artifical smell and not typical perfume with vanilla.....
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Babe! I am so happy to know that you tried it before buying it! I did the exact same thing during beauty world. I over sprayed it. But was not sure which perfume is bothering me. It was only at home I realized it was this one. I am still having hopes that it will change within a week or two coz there are parts of it which I really enjoy, just not that strange note I am also getting like you ❤
Hehe i know this review is coming sooner or later, I'm very interested in vanilla toffee , ❤
I was so excited to smell it too, especially after seeing ads for it everywhere ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Simin, I've been waiting for your review on "Vanilla Toffee" and "Ministry of Gourmand collection"!!! I cant wait for Tiramisu Speculoos & Banana Bliss to be released in India as I've been searching for a good realistic gourmand perfume. Also I thought "Vanilla Toffee" would be a realistic gourmand based on the promotions but I still plan to invest in it!!! Please do a maceration update on these 3 after few months!!! 😊
Hello beautiful,
I hope all these beautiful babies are available to you soon ❤
I will definitely try and do an update on these perfumes after maceration! People have commented that Vanilla Toffee changed for them within just a week. So maybe I will make a short for the update ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh Thank you Simin, I also think it will change as it macerates cause i have a perfume oil that smells like toffee/caramel popcorn. when i first got it, it smelled soo synthetically bad i cant describe the smell. But after you told me the burnt sugar + coffee smell i thought thats the same smell i got. But now its been almost 6 months and that smell is almost gone, now its pure buttery toffee. I think they might be using the same perfume chemical here also so there is a hope it will be better!!! But also since swiss arabian perfumes dont need maceration I'm not 100% sure 😅.
The swiss Arabian vanilla toffee is $80. For that price it needs to be fully macerated at purchase. The fact that it still needs to macerate is insane and asinine. I can buy other perfumes for that price that are developed and ready to use. Swiss Arabian has lost their mind charging that much 🙄.
You are correct. They've lost their minds.
Hey my hun ♥️
Someone else here commented that just within a week her perfume got more smooth and feminine. I hope mine does soon as well. I am spraying out regularly so that it does.
On a different note, i do feel the prices are getting too steep. I miss the good old days ♥️
This is why never buy hyped new Releases. Swiss arabian has so many gorgeous perfumes which is not hyped and the price is normal.
Mine was good from jump.
New releases are overpriced especially the overhyped. I never buy them from the beginning. I’m waiting. Confession her is in Germany now available between 50-90€!!! That’s insane. I’ll never buy a ME perfume for that price.
Please review zimayas - tiramisu too both the variants actually .! Ministry of gourmand tiramisu vs zimayas tiramisu
Hopefully, Middle Eastern perfume will not willy nilly raise their prices because they have become so popular
I think it is a little late for that. Lol. Babe when I first started reviewing, the perfumes were soooo reasonable. Now the prices are just escalating :(
Yo era de las que pensaba que iba a ser un perfume dulce caramelizado y goloso. Menos mal que vi esta reseña. Quitado de mi lista de compras y más que no está tan barato.
Hola mi cariño ❤️
Sí, creo que mucha gente pensó que sería dulce como un caramelo por el nombre. Así no es. Estoy feliz de poder ser de ayuda mi ángel.
Tanto amor a tu manera ❤️
Buklava is a Greek pastry and has walnuts in it. Does it have walnuts notes???
Yessss!!! It does babe. It has Walnut pastry they say ut I feel like it smells like Walnut Baklava ❤
Is Swiss Arabian going to release the Cities Collection again?
hey my hun ❤️
It is still in the market but they keep going out of stock. Generally towards the end of the yea, most fragrances are out of stock
@SiminShaikh hello, even the Opulence of Dubai? I've been searching for that specific fragrance. Either it's out of stock or being sold at a ridiculous price.
You are them best thanks
My beautiful Angel ♥️ Thank you so much!
I got vanilla toffee, I don’t like it. The top notes are very sharp. I’m hoping it will mellow out and macerate and become a gourmand, spicy dream
It is the same for me. Hope it will go sweeter and a bit more feminine with time.
it reminds me of a soft cookie spicy base, I love it! When i first spray it i can barley smell it. This is a soft scent to me. Reminds me of Bath and body mocha cafe mist mixed with bbw Christmas cookies mist!
Hey my hun ❤
It’s definitely a very complex fragrance. Let’s hope it mellows out to be a gourmand dream ❤️ I have high hopes coz many commented that their got much creamier in just one week ❤
You have so many fragrances, what would be your ride and die frags you couldn’t live without if you lost them all and had to repurchase?
Noooooo just the thought of loosing my babies lol.
Thats a great video idea babe. I filmed one already for y current selections from the new ones. But I will make one based on your question as well ❤️
@ ooh Thankyou 😃x
I'm happy I didn't blind buy vanilla toffee. while it sounds really good I don't know I would WANT others to smell that on me 😅
Hey my hun ♥️
Yea I do feel it’s not a safe blind buy. I will wait for a week or two a do a retake video for it hopefully
Happy Thursday my Beautiful Friend!❤❤❤
Thank you for your review on these great fragrances! I must tell you, I am the most excited about Khadlaj and their new Gourmand line of scents, oh my!!! There is one in particular that I'm most excited about, but the chocolate and strawberry are super pretty, and because they're Khadlaj perfumes, I know they are going to smell Fantastic!❤❤❤
Hey Gorgeous! ❤
I always get a smile when I see your comment.
Khadlaj never disappoints, I love how they always have such unique blends and the gourmand line is going to be insane! 😍😍😍
@SiminShaikh I can't wait!!
❤️
Vanilla Toffee is a love. It did not smell strong at all , It smells very soft and light to me especially when you first spray out. Its not a loud scent.
Hey my hun ❤
I am letting mine rest for bit, coz it is still very harsh after a week. I know it will get better for sure and I cannot wait to start using it
You're often a bright spot in my week but this week in the US has been especially dark, so hooray for the Sim Squad!
I feel you hun. Sending you so much love from Dubai! ♥️
Yes, Sim!!! I hate bananas!! The texture, the smell, all of it. My niece was addicted to mashed banana and cereal when she was a niblet and I had such a hard time feeding her. You know how babies spit out, like, half of their bit and you have to stick it back in their mouth?? Well that...with mashed banana...was my WAKING NIGHTMARE 😩🤢🤮🤮🤮
Oh no hun! I just got a visceral reaction hearing about your experience. I am sooooo sorry lol. So weird how some smells are so repulsive to us right? ❤️
👍🏻
My babe ♥️ Thank you xo
Swiss Arabian perfumes in Australia are $150. So basically unaffordable
Woaaaaaahhhh!!! And we all here are complaining about it being USD80. That is just not ok. There has to be MRP control across all countries with distributors. Sorry hun ❤
👋 👍 👏
Thank you Mi Amor ❤

Thank you beautiful ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you beautiful ❤
Al riyan khadlaj attar nice🇵🇰
Hey my hun
Thanks for that! I will try it out soon 🤗
$80 for this Swiss Arabian??? I don't think so. 🤣🤣🤣
Yea the prices are getting ridiculous at this point. Remember when we used to buy them under USD50? 🤣
Simin, you are so beautiful
My hun ❤️ You are so so kind.
So with you on the banana thing - banoffee pie is the biggest abomination in the world of desserts! Why would anyone want to smell of banana, unless you're under the age of 5! 💕
Hahahaaaa!!! I laughed so hard! I absolutely, with every fiber of my being agree with you ❤❤❤ Lol.
Tiramisu bottle is completely WRONG. They should have used that bottle for a fragrance that had something (anything!!) to do with an alcoholic beverage note, or accord.
The bottle makes absolutely no sense as it relates to this fragrance.
Some people should not be in the marketing field. 😳
I absolutely agree. I also thought of the YSL Champagne bottle and that was a boozy champagne perfume ❤️
