"I don't wanna be dramatic... But it nearly killed me" 😂😂😂
Haha I held back as much as I could lol
You know what’s the saddest part of that description? They don’t sell Magnum Tonic Wine in the US and I’m here being melodramatic that I have no idea what it smells like so I can get the reference. 😭
Hahaha it's a heavy molasses drink and there's seriously nothing like it.
Hi how r u? Wondering are you still in possession of that killer fragrance I would like to check it out if you care to sell it let me know thx 🤎
Yes
Finally someone doing a review of Arabian perfumes. My favorite category of perfumes. LOVE!!!
Now that I've tried them, I'm hooked! I don't know what took me so long lol
I'm jamaican and your description of tobacco vanille is spot on I laughed so hard😂. It reminds me of christmas time because of the spices and the vanilla. I love it but the opening has a lot of tobacco but the dry down is amazing! I layer mine with lost cherry in the winter and the amount of compliments i receive is crazy!!
Hahaha I feel seen! I wasn't sure if anybody would get my fruit cake/magnum reference lol. I didn't even make the Christmas connection but you're totally right. I'm glad you're able to enjoy it. Maybe it can grow on me? Probably not lol
I love how elaborate and expressive you are, I am going to pick up the Imperiale!!
Haha thanks! Let me know what u think!
Great video! I love middle eastern fragrances! I have several of these fragrances on your list. I look forward to trying more of these fragrances. Thanks for the review.
Ugh they are so good. Now that I've tried them I can never go back! And thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it
I love the honesty!! I am glad to find reviews that also say what sucks lol. New subscriber! :)
I appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching!
One minute in and I already love your personality! Great review!
Lol thanks sis!
I so love your commentry!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!!
Love your reviews!!! Obsessed 🤩
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and enjoying lol
I just started getting back into perfumes. I used to love perfumes in my younger years, up until my 30s, and then when i had my son, i stopped purchasing designer perfumes, well, because kids expensive. Lol its been 9 years since no purchase of purfumes, and then i stumble up this video, and im like yessss, this girl i want to follow, she says it like it is. Lol I will have to deep dive into the world of the arabian perfumes, something im not familiar with. Thank you, i will be following your channel.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. And yes to Arabian fragrances. Once I fell into that rabbit hole, I didn't wanna get back out. So many great fragrances for a fraction of the cost of the designer ones. I just did an update video where I shared my top 10 Arabian fragrances for the year. Check it out to see where I ended up 6 months after this video lol
Girl this is my first video of yours and I love you already... 😂😂😂 Instantly subscribed
Thanks so much sis. I really appreciate that
I absolutely loved this video 😊
Thanks so much and I appreciate you watching
“ It was a near death experience “. 😂😂😂😂 Lovely video sis!
Thanks sis! And seriously, I'm still recovering 😂😂
I am Jamaican and I had to subscribe. Thank you for the review.
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it so much 🥰
Love your descriptions.. new subscriber!
Thanks so much for subscribing!
I love Imperiale - it is truly amazing!
I can't say enough how impressed I am by it
Loved this video so I subscribed. I actually ordered the Aventus dupe so I’ll see how it compares. Hope u get tons of subscribers to come 😊
Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it. And let me know what you think about it once you try it
And yup fingers crossed I can grow this channel lol
I love Tobacco touch so much. It reminds me of a spicy chai latte.
Now I wanna go smell a spicy chai latte! Too bad it smells like a drink I've always had issue with. So is my problem about me not liking the drink, the perfume or both lol
I enjoyed your video very much! ❤️ I have Afran Modest Deux . I didn’t know it was supposed to be a dupe of anything but it’s fun to find out. I really enjoy it. I just ordered the Ana Abiyedh Rouge Lattafa . I haven’t smelled BR 540 before but I was given In the Stars by BBW ,,which I love ,and I read that they smell similar. I’m planning on using them together. I hope I like it because it had a lot of bad reviews on Amazon but this review was encouraging. I own over 35 perfumes but none of them are high end or expensive. I don’t really spend a lot of money on my perfumes because I’m on a budget. I really appreciate these fun dupe videos. 😊
Thanks so much for watching. I'm happy you got something out of it. Let me know what u think of Ana Abiyedh. I'm shocked it has bad reviews on Amazon because it's so so lovely. Different strokes I guess. Keep enjoying Modest Deux. I feel like it just keeps getting better over time
@@jeanique ❤️
Is modest deux long lasting ?
I enjoyed your video! Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Love your accent and your very honest reviews❤😂
Thanks so much. I really appreciate you watching
such a great review love your information greetings from the netherlands
Thanks alot. I appreciate the love and support.
Now you made me want Imperial
It's so good
I subscribed cause you are just get to the point with great review .I'm from middle east
Thanks so much for subscribing! I appreciate that. And welcome.
I agree Le Venture is a distant distant cousin to AFH. That perfume is so masculine and screeching!
I totally agree with you! I was so confused because of how often it had been recommended to me as a dupe of AFH. I cut out a whole rant about how LAventure reminds me of an 80s white floral that's been slightly updated but not really. I sometimes wanna give hairspray and shoulder pads but not most of the time lol. I like it but I have to be in the mood. So not a dupe lol
Tobacco touch is like one of my most favorite fragrances
I think I have ptsd from the magnum and so there's no way I can really get into it lol
Love your videos
Thanks so much!
Modest Deux Pour Femme is GORGEOUS. It's sexier than LNT, although both are very nice fragrances.
It's so lovely. You can't help but feel good when you wear it. It was such an amazing find for me.
Thank you for sharing 🌸
Thanks so much for watching!
My favorite are l'aventure femme, club de nuit imperiale. Both are long lasting and beast. I like modest deux but not long last on my skin.
L'Aventure is just ok for me but I love the other Armaf fragrances. I enjoy Modest Deux so much but I definitely prefer the original
I have a large bottle of Aventus for Her and the funny thing is from one genuine bottle to the next the resin/tartness ratio changes so much. I actually prefer a bit more resin but this bottle is very apple heavy even into dry down. Imperiale also is a miss on the fruits & opens WAY more citrusy than the original Delina Exclusif. However the drydown of Imperiale on fabric is so close to Delina Exclusif on skin. I use the real DE on my skin & boost the scent with Imperiale on my clothes because it’s such a bargain.
Yh Imperiale opens very tart. It was so much closer to Delina than Delina Exclusif, I was initially worried I wasn't going to get the dry down I wanted. But after more than a few wears Imperiale has become a fave for the price and the longevity. I hadn't realized Aventus was so different from one bottle to the next. When I tested L'Aventure next to the original, I couldn't understand how anybody would mistake the two. But your explanation makes sense.
Just subbed from this vid…you are hella funny my fellow yardie 🇯🇲💖
Haha thanks Lois! Really appreciate it.
Im in love with Imperiale ❤❤❤ im just waiting for cdn women is on the way
It is so incredible. Love it. And CDN women does such a great job of duping Coco Mademoiselle that it deserves its shine too
😂😂😂😂 yu mad ennuh LOL definitely subscribing! ❤love your reviews
Haha thanks fren!
Club de nuit woman: it’s the exact same as the original. i am someone who dislikes patchouli but this is truly beautiful. For the price? Get it!
Right? Such a steal for the quality juice you're getting
Thanx for the detailed review. I hv modest duex nd imperial. I enjoy both of this. ❤
You're so welcome. And I'm glad youre loving them!
@@jeanique ❤️
@@jeanique hi dear will u pls tell me which type of patchouli is there in lovely cherry becoz i generally hate patchouli nd cant tolerate it in my fragrances. I hate dry , dusty, earthy patchouli which is in Awaan lattafa nd my burberry black. I can tolerate patchouli in modest duex . So pls tell me it will be helpful. ❤️
The tonka and cherry really cover it up. You get most of it in the first 5 minutes and then it slowly disappears. It's close to the type of patchouli in modest deux versus what you'd find in club de nuit for women which is super heavy on the patchouli
@@jeanique thanks dear for ur reply its really helpful to me . ❤️
“It was a near death experience” 😂 “Maybe someone was eating a fruitcake IDK” 😂😂😂 Love it!!!! LOL!!!!!!
Hahaha I still can't get over how overwhelming it is haha
😂 You crack me up I swear!!! 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
Club de Nuit Imperial is amazing!
It really is!
So I have issues with tobacco fragrances in general…that one you spoke about sounds horrendous 😩🤣🤣 But I need to get my hands on Club de Nuit Imperiale and Untold. I’m behind girl lol 💕💕
Haha I even went back and tried it earlier this month and it's as bad as it was when I first reviewed it. And I enjoy a good tobacco fragrance and even I couldn't stand it. And I still love Imperiale and CDN for women, especially Imperiale. Thanks so much for watching!
You review is very detailed thank you 🙏🏾 ❤. Could you provide the links to the perfume in the description
Thanks so much for the love. I'll figure out how to add those asap lol
I am in love with Imperiale, Club de Nuit Woman and the one duping Creed Aventus
See I should totally have gotten my Creed Aventus dupe from them. I knew the men's version was a gem. I should have guessed that the women's version would also be amazing lol. Damn.
I love club de nuit impériale!! Which of their dupes is for creed aventus for her?
Which Club de Nuit is the dupe for Aventus?
@@divatress81 LAventure Femme
Oh my gosh Lovely Cheri stays on my clothes forever!! but I am an oversprayer. and believe me the complements are unbelievable. I can afford to overspray with this price. It last way longer than Tom Ford lost Cherry.
It really does last so much longer. And obviously I need to overspray more lol! I love watching overspraying tiktoks but I hadn't gone for it myself. It's time
I love ana abiyedh it's my signature scent.
It's so good!
Also since the Lovely Cherie was sold out I ended up getting Lush Cherry which I enjoy a lot but it does dry down fast.
So I guess all of them do that??? Is there no perfect Lost Cherry dupe?
@Jeanique Loves I've heard the ALT dupe is the closest and lasts the longest but I haven't tried it personally
Hmmm I'll keep my eye out for it lol
This is why it's important to listen to more than one review. I have NEVER heard someone say Adventus for her dries down to a "rose" fragrance. I encourage ppl to listen to other reviews of Femme by Al Haramain.
I unreservedly disagree with literally every review that say they are alike. I have both and I wear both regularly and Femme is a far crisper, more chypre leaning fragrance than Aventus for Her. It reminds me of an early 2000s white floral. All power, very little nuance. I like it fine but Femme isn't a dupe of Aventus and I'm confused by all the people saying otherwise. I'm convinced one person said it was a dupe and it's spread based on hearsay. Cause ain't no way. Anyway. Clearly you think they smell alike. Good on you for that.
Thank you! You had me laughing so hard this morning 😂. So ya hate the tobacco touch? 😅
Hahaha maybe just slightly? Ugh. It really is the worst. The internet bamboozled me lolol
Facts bring the dupes
Bring all of em lol
Hey, could you do a video on BR540 dupes?❤
I'll definitely work on that video
@fitfatbrittrny8947 ana abiyedh rouge is a great dupe for BR540
Another great dupe is Bardoque Rouge from Maison Alhambra 98%
@@kimlee3163 thanks!
I prefer the original club de nuit over CoCo. She is stronger and a tad sweeter IMO but Coco last longer. I have both.
So basically you just talked me out of wanting Coco cause if it isn't as good as Club de Nuit, there really isn't any point lol. Thanks for giving me the heads up
@@jeaniquemany people have now said they prefer club de Nuit better than chanel lol
First minute in and you open with “First fragrance is duping a notorious underperformer”. OMG! You sounded like you had a personal issue with Tom Ford himself. Just dying of laughter! 🤣👏
But no seriously…….. what is he charging for? Or the company he sold it to. What are they charging for?
I’m a new subscriber and I feel like I’m going to have to make sure I’m not drinking anything because I might spontaneously bust out laughing or choke on my drink. And it was only the first minute. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha see I do take it personally because why does it cost so much but disappear so fast! Lol. And thanks so much for watching. I appreciate your support.
@@jeanique I know what you mean. The reason for the super price hike is because they want to differentiate themselves from the other designers in perfume. You know how not just anyone can walk into Hermes and get a Kelly or Birkin? They’re going for the Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel exclusivity vibe. And the only way to do that is to hike the price up. The mentality is, if you can afford it then the 2 hour lasting power should be of no issue.
Personally, I think all these designers need to be brought to their senses. Pay-per-view wrestling match with all the annoyed customers, last one standing in the fight wins. No holds barred and no you can’t hire someone to fight the match for you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm just picturing designers going at in a ring and I can't breathe. See I'd pay good money to see that! It's seriously getting out of hand so I'm more than happy to snap up these Arabian perfumes lol
@@jeanique I think people would rather pay the price of a Tom Ford fragrance to see these matches than for the bottle of perfume. The experience would last longer. And truly thank GOD for Arabian houses. But there’s some indie brands too that are giving designers and niche a run for their money, with unique scent profiles. And they are reasonably priced according to some others.
I have a handful of niche houses that never do me wrong but finding indie houses I love takes a bit more searching and experimenting but that's part of the fun right?
So glad I bumped into your channel. Love the reviews. Which one is better between imperial and orientica bellisimo romantic in duping delina?
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching. It isn't even close for me. I prefer Imperiale. Bellisimo leans a little spicy for me. And I prefer the punchines of the rhubarb in Imperiale.
Which Club de Nuit is the dupe for Aventus for her?
A friend of mine had said that Club de Nuit Intense for women is a feminine leaning version of Creed Aventus rather than a faithful dupe of Creed Aventus for her but I havent tested it myself. There's also supposed to be a Rasasi perfume that's a dupe named Qasamat Rasana. The notes seem promising but I don't know if it'll be closed to Light Blue than Aventus for Her
😂😂😂 it’s the magnum tonic wine for me!
I swear! The smell hit me out of nowhere lolol
Hello. Thank you very much for the video. I gladly subscribe up. What is your favorite dupe for Baccarat rouge 540 EXTRAT ? ❤
Definitely the one from Oakcha but I wanna try even more dupes
@@jeanique 👍 cool. Yesterday I received a new package with Aura Lattafa. This is amassing long lasting dupe for extrait of BR540 🥰🥰🥰
Ooo I'll definitely add it to my list cause can you have too many BR540 dupes?
@@jeanique I have only Thomas Kosmala 4 .This fragrance needs to be given a year's rest after being opened.
And I need to buy
Armaf
Club de Nuit Untold,
Afnan Violet Bouquet .
The fragrance from your video will arrive on Tuesday. And it will be a good addition to my collection.❤️
@@jeaniqueI loved Sweven too until I tried baroque rouge frm Maison Alhambra 💣
Hi I got Armaf imperial and I love it so much I was over the moon the first time I tried it, but after 3 4 sprays it turned Alcohol literally all I got very strong alcohol, I gave it 10 days thinking that maybe it needs some time to set but nothing change 😢 is that normal?! Or something wrong with this patch ?!
I'm not getting alcohol from it at all. I just sprayed and ill report back and let u know if it changes after a few hours. Maybe I missed the alcohol smell?
I meant the juice in bottle turned into Alcohol,everytime I tried it after the first time I got only alcohol
Oh shit! I thought you meant the smelled turned on your skin after a time. Mine smells the same as when I first got it. That's terrible! You must have gotten a bad bottle.
I love you’re channel and reviews! We have the same scent profile preference 😍🫶🏼. I too 100% prefer the Club de Nuit Imperiale over both OG delina and delina exclusif . It’s beautiful!
I'm glad I'm not alone! It was love at first spray. And im happy we found each other. Because I can't get enough hidden gem recommendations from people who love the same kinds of perfumes I do.
CDN imperiale is the BEST .. I bought 2 bottles. Bcz maybe price became high...high and high.
I'm here rewatching the tobacco touch review😂😂😂😂....pon de rewind
Hahaha thanks for the rewatch. I'm glad you're getting a keekee lolol
Hello gorgeous new subbie here. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching and I can't wait to check out your vids!
Hello Jeannie, have you try Afnan souvenir desert rose and Afnan historic doria is so so close to delina I am telling you
Hey Elemzy! I haven't tried either of those! Should I add them to my wishlist??? Are they that good? I love the souvenir bottles. They are so pretty
@@jeanique please do, you we love it, I spray the Afnan historic doria on my hand since morning I still smell it and is just one spray ,
@@jeanique please buy the 2, the Afnan historic doria is really dupes for delina you we love it
I'll keep my eye out for both. Thanks so much the suggestion!
....and somebody is eating a fruitcake... I'm dead. The hate for that Tobacco Touch is very specific. LOL.
Haha i know my reaction to this fragrance is totally irrational but I just can't.
Does anyone know a good dupe for Chloe that lasts longer than the original?
The only dupe I've tried is Dossier's Floral Peony but ill keep an eye out for an Arabian dupe as well.
Thx 😊
Ok, I'll be wathing you because I hate Tobbaco Vanille/Touch too... 😅
Hahaha I'm glad I'm not alone!!!!
i do prefer club de nuit imperial to delina. it lasts FOREVER.
It really does!
totally agree on this BR 540 dupe, It is my favourite because of the femininity : it is not only airy-woody(not in a masculine way) but also seems to have a red fruit (berry?) note :) and there is fresh element and airyness , it lasts 2 days!
It's wonderful. I was shocked by some of the negative reviews I came across. Because it's so lovely for day to day wear. Thanks so much for watching
I dont like tobacco vanilla either, at all...HOWEVER...when you have a perfume you think you dont like bc its too sweet, but if it was less sweet you might like it...a little tobacco vanilla will totally transform a teenage scent into an adult fun mature (not not granny) scent.
So basically you're sending me off to give it another chance? That feels risky but I'll give it a try lol. Thanks for the suggestion.
Damn…you went to Magnum tonic wine..I’m dun🤣😂🤣😂
Haha imagine my confusion and horror when I smelled it! Lol. Took me all the way out lolol
Soooo are you saying it smells like Sky Dock back in the day? Lol im screaminggggh
😂😂😂😂 basically!
Tom Ford costs too much to be wearing off so quickly and Im not a fan of the Tom Ford Lost Cherry alone… It’s too light and I love my Cherry/Almond smells… The Tabasco Vanille smells nice BUT… Only for the fall.. I would probably only wear it October-December …. I love the Oakcha Miss Girl which is a dupe Bacarat + Lost Cherry mixed and it smells wonderful.
Ooo lost cherry plus baccarat? I gotta check that out. Cause I love both. And I agree with you about how light Lost Cherry is. I wish it projected more and lasted longer. Which is why I'll always stick to dupes. Just not worth it for me otherwise. I still can't get into Tobacco Vanille but I've come to be obsessed with Vanille Fatale which is similar vibe to me
U know seh it smell like magnum tonic wine fi true 😂🇯🇲 every man at the dance lol …. you are hilarious
I had to subscribe perfume and fuckery ah dat ah gwaan 🙌🏽 yes
Hahaha I'm glad someone agrees with me cause ppl keep telling me how it nice and how smelling like magnum can nice? Lol
“It is not even a cousin!” 😂
People keep telling me they smell alike lol. I don't know what they're smelling!😭😂
@@jeanique do you have a video about layering scents?
I made a whole video about layering but I never ended up posting it. But I will. Maybe it'd be helpful. I dunno lol.
I agree about the Tobacco Vanille. It is awful. I don't get the high ratings either.
I'm still confused by how much people love it lol
I want to try Emperial soooo bad but I’m not a rose fan so I’m sceeeerd😂😂😂
I get that! I've bought a few rose duds in my day because not all types of rosey smells work for me. But this is a really fresh green rose especially once you get past the opening. It's nothing like Kayali Elixir or Chloe EDP that I have a hard time wearing on their own because of how old school and intense the rose is. It's like the rose you get in Lancome Idole or Ralph Lauren Romance but even fresher. The thing that I think will turn most people off is the heavy rhubarb note which is a love for me but most ppl can't stand it.
@@jeanique thanks 😊 maybe I’ll give it a try, I can always return it right??? 😆
Haha that's how I justify alllll my blind buys. But it's so good I have no reservations recommending it to anybody who loves a fruity floral. It's pretty close to perfect.
@@jeanique same 🤣🤣🤣I do enjoy those!!! Maybe I’ll give it a go and report back to ya!!! Thanks for the replies!!! Great channel and content ❤️
There's no way you can try this without telling me! I have to know lol. And thanks for the love 🥰
Libbra by Maison Alhambra
What's Libbra like?
Most people ask am I wearing creed when I’m wearing La’venture than when I’m actually wearing it😂
Hahaha seriously what is happening??? Is everyone just confused about what it smells like?
Not sure but it’s close to my nose
