    Lattafa has been putting pressure on some middle eastern perfume houses, other houses have stepped up their perfume game. They are all serving topnotch quality nowadays

    I ordered Eclaire when it came out and it did not need maceration. It stayed on my skin until I washed it off. (Ten hours) Very very very happy with this purchase. I am a person that judges vanillas very harshly and this is amazing!
    I even like the bottle because it’s supposed to be melted caramel.
    Feel better Sim 💛

      Thank you my gorgeous hun.
      I will wear Eclaire tomorrow on both my skin and clothes. Another user asked me to wear it on clothes coz it lasts longer? Regardless, I do love the scent so much!
      P.S. Your DP is inspiring me to get fit asap! ❤

    I think that Bayn Al Asrar has that funky note in the opening... I'm hoping that a few weeks of maceration will do for this fragrance to be at least similar to Guidance which is lovely, nutty, creamy.... a dream!

    Eclaire is the closest I’ve found to Bianco Latte, lasts ages too. £50 here in UK and It’s worth every penny - longevity was there immediately upon opening and actually may even have the potential to become better than the OG as it’s a bit sweeter!
    Thank you for the video despite being in pain - always appreciate your hauls!!

    I need all of these! Been trying to get Mystique Boutique and will add cherry Boutique when it’s available in Canada. I already have Bianco Latte, so May pass on Eclaire. I thought Guidance was too strong so the dupe may be better. 😊

    So I saw a couple of La Fede perfumes at the neighborhood supermarket and passed them over thinking they were the usual lousy offerings we tend to get in supermarkets. Now that I know it is a Khadlaj brand and I don't know of any local retailers who stock their fragrances, I will check them out.

    Hi, I have 2 bottles of Bayn Al Asrar, Both my bottles are BEAUTIFUL from beginning to end… (which is why I have 2 bottles)… I do Not Smell any “bad note” or rotten fruits in the beginning, I think you may have a bad batch… It didn’t even need maceration, BUT, I agree it only lasts for 7-8 hours, so I am currently trying to macerate my 2nd bottle for a few months & will see if there is any difference in the lasting power after that. Thanks for reviewing Cherry Bouquet, I have been wanting that one.

    • @SiminShaikh
      @SiminShaikh  4 місяці тому +1

      Hey my Hun ❤
      Thank you for that ❤ I think one of their batches has a problem, coz so many people feel the same way as me. It does smell like the perfume went bad and it take 40minutes for that sour/ pickle bad smell to go away :( It is sad coz I really wanted this one. I might reach out to them and figure this out.
      Oh Cherry Bouquet is the Queen! ❤ I'm obsessed ❤❤❤

    love the video, I have been trying Eclaire and I find it slightly better than Bianco Latte. I find 'something' in Bianco Latte a bit screechy or just 'something' that I don't like. Eclaire doesn't have that 'something' lol
    I found Eclaire lasted and lasted on clothes. I sprayed on a sweater and I could smell it 2 days later. I did get Bianco Latte lotion and I layer Eclaire with that.

And I definitely know the clean girl vibe isn't really my fave either (I don't like really soapy or fresh things, more of a woody gourmand spicy sweet girly) so that's why I was a little hesitant on Mystique Bouquet but I love ambroxan so that's the secret sauce I believe! But, now I'm on the hunt to find something else that is like that, haha. Interested to try more Afnan, only other I have now is Cherry Bouquet 🍒 💐 Thanks for the reply! Sending love and good vibes!

    I was waiting for this review of Eclair. I had been starting at and wondering if I should get it. In the end I decided not, but I'm interested in your thoughts.
    I looooove the Afnan bouquet bottles, I have the other 2 and really like them side from longevity 😔
    Lately, I've been wanting more interesting and abnormal scents rather than traditional. And I've found I don't like honey in perfume.

    • @SiminShaikh

      Hey lovely,
      Yea Eclaire is not something you can wear all the time. You have to be in a mood to smell like Toffee lol. Should I buy and review the other two from Afnan's Bouquet line? ❤ I am intrigued but at the same time its florals so I am a bit reserved about it.
