This series is perfect! I love how fearless your reviews are. Thank you for this.
Love your video as always. I have both Delina and Delina Exclusif and did look at the Orientica dupe but it was quite expensive in the UK (£80.00 for 100ml) So after watching a review on YT about it I bought Emir's Elania, which turned out to be amazing...slightly softer than Delina so between the Exclusif and original ,it is beautiful and for only £33 for a 100ml it is a close as you could get to the originals.
Great tip! Orientica is even more expensive in my country (€160 isn't a strange amount, sadly), which is why I wished Paulina wouldn't use that brand as often. It is way above budget for me and many others. Anyway, I've been eyeing the Paris Corner one, but wasn't sure. I've been wanting to try the Exclusif, well a dupe😂. I'm going to try and see if I can acquire a sample. While I love rose and incense, I'm not easy to please with these 2 notes. Paris Corner rarely disappoints me.
I blind-bought Haya and Khamrah (and a few others) on Black Friday based on fragrance notes only. I LOVE both of them, but was very happily surprised with Haya!
Your blouse is gorgeous, your makeup here is on point, you look amazing ❤
I speak Afrikaans and German, and the Germans don't associate "lekker" with "cool". For them, "lecker" means delicious or yummy only. In Afrikaans, "lekker" means both "yummy" and "cool".
Exactly, lekker is like nice, jummy, delicious and i reckon its use mostly refers to food
My German exchange student would say “mmmm lecker” whenever she would eat something my mom made. 😊
Not really true. In Kölsch, lecker also means cool
A lecker Mädsche ist eine schöne junge Frau.
I felt the same way about Rose 01 when I got it. I was like its like Delina Xclusif and Atomic Rose had a fun weekend together.
A random and pleasant surprise to hear you say lekker 😁🇿🇦
Great video, as always! But OMG Paulina, I gifted my CDN Untold to my boyfriend, as it smelt a bit too gasoline/masculine on me (I ordered myself Amber Rouge, so I'm covered), and he LOVES it and wears it all the time... When he discovered CDN Imperiale in my collection he sniffed it and loved the scent too! I told him he's NOT having that one as it's still macerating and it dupes a GIRL perfume!!! A day later he shows up at my place, calls me a liar (in a nice way), and shows me Imperiale's Fragrantica review where it says that all CDN perfumes are unisex... he's STILL not having my frag, but I like that he's taken an interest in a passion of mine haha.
Paulina, the infini line by Alhambra also has a musk therapy dupe called inifini musk. I have it it’s amazing and the bottle is white and gold it’s to die for!
I’ve been trying to find this fragrance but not having any success.
A couple of years back I got a Tom ford body spray in a mystery box from Estée Lauder . The bottle was bright aqua and it smelled absolutely divine! I just found out that it’s called Neroli Portofino and there’s a perfume of it too. However, as much as I loved the body spray I would never spend above $300 on a perfume. So I was looking for a dupe of it and found your channel: and I am literally binge watching you! I can’t wait to try the Arabian perfumes as I was under the impression that they were too strong and overwhelming. I will buy your top favorites as I have only ever tried a handful of the more niche perfumes all my life ( Chanel no.5, guilty, jadore Versace etc). Thank you so much for introducing me to the world of Arabian perfumes
I absolutely love Khamrah as well!
Love the Middle Eastern fragrances! So affordable and amazing! ❤
I'm in love with middle easters brands too...und I love this series... please stay tuned 🙏for us!
CDN Imperiale was my scent of the year - totally incredible powdery vanillary rose : I've never owned or smelt Delina but this is masterpiece ❤
You haven't missed much.
I own both delina exc and CDN imperiale and only first moment they are different after a few minutes smell exactly the same
I wore this tdy, yes, it blows me away. I enjoy the creaminess.
Can you please do a tutorial on this make up look
Am in love with armaf club de nuit imperiale am actually wearing it now 😊😊😊😊
I discovered Infini Rose by chance while looking for another dupe for a different fragrance about a year ago. I’ve never smelled original but the scent notes and reviews intrigued me. So I ordered it and omg I loved it!
Thank you for your honest opinion ❤❤❤. I have some of those Arabic fragrances and I absolutely love them. Bottles are stunning, great performance, affordable prices = perfection ❤
Hi Paulina ❤ great picks 😊 when expectations are set right, affordable dupes can give satisfaction 😊❤
Paulina I really trust you with your reviews, I got rose 01 and infini rose both beautiful I can't be more happier..
I bought Baroque because of your review. I paid about $18 on amazon. I can’t believe that MFK OSM smells like this. When I see the word “oud” I think - this is a heavy and woody fragrance. To my surprise this smells so powdery sweet to me and I get absolutely NO oud at all. If it’s there, I can’t even smell it. I do like it and am trying to find something to layer it with. Nonetheless, I’m pleased with the fragrance. Thank you for the recommendation🖤
Talking about Delina dupes I’m so surprised you’ve never mentioned Maison Alhambra’s Delilah!
I can't wait for MORE Middle Eastern dupes!!! ❤❤❤
I agree about Khamrah. I personally like it better than Angel Share. Longevity and projection is also better on me!
Love these dupe videos keep ‘em coming
Amazing video Paulina!!!!! ❤️👍🏽❤️ I have EVERY fragrance you mentioned except for the Oud 07/ Rose 01 and the Bellissimo Romantic I think that’s what it’s called? 🤔
But you are sooooooo right about all of them!!!! No matter which one I wear, I get complements from men, women, and children!!!! 🥰 I believe it’s been years now, but I can’t remember exactly when I discovered Middle Eastern fragrances, but let me tell you I am hooked and haven’t stopped since!!!!!!! 🤪 And in my opinion most of them are BETTER then the OG’s, last longer on my skin, and they are all a good bang for your buck!!! Keep these reviews coming Sis! 🌹
Thank you Paulina. I love a good niche fragrance but sometimes spending 2-3,000 US dollars a year is difficult for a single woman with a car, house and travel costs all by herself. So, I o find a reasonable price and quality pricing for a fragrance is essential for me . I can get more for less and still afford Mercedes maintenance😊
Not the random horse noises 😂😂😂😂 Love it!!
Arte bellissimo romantic I have and I wore it yesterday 😊 I love it
Loving this series of videos! Please keep them coming ❤
Great video! Baroque is great, but IMO is closer to OSM extrait, Barakkat oud and Ministry of oud are both closer to OSM. Love Khamrah ❤, but a good dupe for Angel's share is Kismet Angel from Maison Alhambra . Baroque Rouge and Barakkat rouge are as good as the Orientica dupe at a fraction of the price. And since you love Gentle fluidity gold, get your hands on Barakkat gentle gold. Best dupe yet.👌 I also have Barakkat version of Grand soir in the mail....oh I could go on and on . I own the OGs but I'm having soooo much fun comparing the cheapies to see how they score against the $$$ ones. 😂😂😂.
Love that you're showing great alternatives for those who can't or don't want to spend an arm and a leg on perfumes, thank you. ❤
You just spared me a whole lot of writing 😂. I completely agree, so I hope she sees this. Or others that want to know. The Fragrance World dupes and Paris Corner inspirations are often amazing. Not sure if you like Dior Ambre Nuit or Dior Feve Delicieuze, but those dupes are fantastic too. I now have my eyes on the Fragrance World dupes for BDK Rouge Smoking and Petite Robe Noire Rose as well as the discontinued Scandal by Night.
Khamrah simply isn't a dupe for AS. It was great marketing from Latàffa to use that bottle, but it is its own fragrance. Kismet Angel is indeed better than Cocktail Intense, both in scent and longevity.
You're going to looooove Barakkat Ambre Eve! One tip: it's great from the start, but it will initially be a tad closer to Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens (maybe you didn't know, but dear Francis K completely duped the Lutens). After maceration, the medicinal accord decreases a lot and the Vanilla becomes stronger. My bottle now smells like a €300 fragrance. So incredibly smooth and delicious ❤. I just ordered a 10ml decant of their Oud Satin Mood as a result. Gentle Fluidity Gold seems like more of a spring/summer frag, so I'm waiting with that one.
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy Ambre Eve as much as I do! I'm now in my second Autumn/Winter season for it, and besides the fact it gets better and better, I still have sooooo much left. My skin is Saharah dry & perfume eating, but the quality is such that I don't need much. So, one bottle lasts you ages too. Great investment if you like this kind of fragrance (I'm a huge amber fan, and I also love to use it to up the base in some other perfumes. Ambre Eve + CK Euphoria suddenly makes Euphoria the perfume I needed it to be, especially when I add some Lalique Amethyst to it. Like I said: perfume eating skin, so I can layer 5 fragrances 😂😂).
How would you differentiate barakkat oid satin mood, baroque oud satin and ministry of oud ? And which one would be more wi ter appropriate.
@@helloworld-zc1bx hi ! All 3 are perfect for cold weather, and in the air you cannot tell the difference between the dupes and theOGs. I find Baroque closer to the OSM extrait which is a tiny bit more masculine than OSM. Ministry is a tiny bit smoother than Barakkat for the first 30 minutes or so -nothing bad, cheap or wrong with Barakkat, this is just smelling them up close and looking hard for differences. But after that, they smell the same. They both last forever and have great projection, Barakkat being a bit stronger. But all in all, to be honest, I don't think the differences are worth paying more for one over the other. I'd say go with the one you can get for less. 😉 Here, Ministry is sold for over 3x the $ of Barakkat, ridiculous, don't fall for that lol !
@@misssunnydee hi !
We seem to have similar tastes lol ! Thank you for that description, I can't wait to get my B. Amber eve !!! ❣️ I have both Feve delicieuse and Frenetic delicieuse, great dupe indeed ! 👍 I also bought PC's Frenetic tobacco honey and later got Tabac from M. Alhambra, dupes for Tobacolor. Both are good options but I do like Tabac a bit better. I haven't seen the Amber Nuit and BDK ones you mention, but now I'm intrigued lol. I'm also curious about Gris by M. Alhambra and looking for a dupe for Vanilla Diorama. It's a rabbit hole ! 🫣🫢💲💰😂.
Other great dupes worth checking out:
PCs When Soul gets high = Back to black by Kilian (if you like Feve D., you might like this),
Forbidden sugar = Franck Boclet sugar,
You're drugged= Intoxicated by Kilian (leans masculine),
Wayward Charlie = Franck Boclet Cocaine. This is a good but weird scent. If you like the OG, Wayward charlie is a great dupe!
There are sooooo many good ones ! ME companies are really knocking it out of the park ! ♥️🌟♥️
Thank you for this video (promptly bought the oud satin dupe).
Rehab is one of my absolute favorite perfumes - I so, so hope one of your future videos will feature a dupe for that 🙂
Oud bouquet dupe I love the orientica oud saffron .. amazing 😊
Got the khamrah due to you and it was a hit! And the Paris corner Horsie! Loves!
These reviews are amazing! So detailed, thank you!
Amazing. Thank you soo much! Also love that shirt it looks so pretty on you!
I was hoping for a dupe of Musk Therapy. Great video, can’t wait for part 2
@@aesinam Thanks! I just got it in the mail last week… it’s really good, but I think I might have to get the real MT. I can’t stop thinking about it.
I found a new favorite because of you! I always buy a backup for a favorite so a backup is on my way! Lol Soooo good and I’m afraid it will be so popular it’ll get too expensive 😢
Thank you so much for sharing these. So glad I saw this video before pulling the trigger on Shaghaf Oud. ❤ Do you know of a good dupe for Jasmins Marzipane from Maison Lancome? 😢 I need me that fragrance on a budget 😭
O Matko. Wyglądasz fenomenalnie 😍😍😍
Yesterday I received the Lattaffa Khamrah beautiful bottle and box. I tried it and loved the beginning and middle. About six hrs later I smelled it an I swear it was BR 540. I put it in a dark drawer for maceration and will be back in a month. 🎉 What I smelled I liked. Has anyone gotten the BR 540 at the end? Thanks Paulina.❤ can I get the best Angel Nova dupe now? My batch is from 7/2023.
Yes you do get BR540 at the end of Khamrah in the beginning but it goes away after maceration.
A lot of people are referencing Mayar from Lattafa as an Angel Nova dupe (this is one of favorite fragances) but I'm a bit hesitant of ordering it
Love your dope videos.
I have cocktail intense from Fragrance World which is said to be a spot on dupe for Angel share. With lots of Arabian fragrances, you have to sprit a few sprays out and let it sit to maturate, then that gasoline smell will fade.
Infini Rose is my 1st Middle Eastern perfume. I love it!
I just recieved Baroque Satin Oud. I have never smelled the MFK original but Baroque blew my mind. I I love it and am shocked because I only ordered because it was only 18 dollars. I will be ordering more to gift and as a back up.
Thank you for the awesome suggestions! I have several of these and all are fabulous suggestions. 😊
Yyy así ya otros dos perfumes comprados 😂 gracias a ti! ❤
Ohhhh i just looovvee this kind of videos😍 please do more of niche perfume alternatives videos🙏🏻
Great video! Love your fragrance choices. I have a few of these fragrances and plan to order more! Thanks for the review.
Please do a makeup tutorial with this makeup look! 🥰
Paulina you are so much right, ruby edition is not a good dupe, scratchy. Saying the same in my video. Still looking for a better one, I am also not satisfied with Am er rouge by Orientica. I am looking for the extrait dupe though!
Hi love your content. I have Infini Rose. I agree it’s a beautiful scent. I’ve had mine for over a year and it gets better with age. 😊
I really wish someone would do a good clone of Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac. I love that scent but definitely can’t get with the price.
Thanks so much for breaking everything. I love your channel 😊
We do need a full and detailed review of baroque satin oud. After i saw your video i tried to find more info and there is almost nothing!!! please! We are waiting for that review of oud satin mood dupes!
Bc i have the OG Baccarat's EdP and Extrait de Parfum, i enjoy Baroque Rouge by Maison Alhambra more, Amber Rouge is 100 Euros plus, and Baroque Rouge about 30, and besides the fact i just like Baroque Rouge more, the quality difference is not big enough for the price difference.....
For people like you and me it smells the same. For the ones who have more experienced noses, will say things like; it's better blended, more rounded, smooth, etc etc. For me as long as it smells good in the air, and performance. 😊
Love these dupe videos. Would appreciate your opinion on the fragrances from Barakkat
Love your haircolour/highlights🌟✔️
Love these videos. We need more of these videos please 😊
Like when you compare across dupes and make your preference. It guides us in making similar perfume. Choices. I love must fragrance. Are the Swiss Arabian musk 01 0r musk 07 any good?
Blind bought Baroque Satin Oud..luv luv luv it. I don’t have the OG, but don’t need it now.. luv your vids
Me too ingot it since she mentioned it in anotber video, i layer it alot! And loove it
I’m crazy about your blouses 😍😍😍😍
I’m having such issues with Kayali! I’m wondering if you feel the same Paulina?? I love all her perfumes actually! I love the notes and how they’re blended! Yes I’m a bit older ha and my nose 👃 isn’t what it used to be 😢! But I find all the kayalis lovely but they don’t project or last on me!! 😢am I the only one?? I honestly feel? Instead of popping them out soooo quickly she should work longer on making them protect and last ? Or is it my nose?
I love Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud/Orientica. Should my next purchase be Nebras or Kaheela?
Your reviews are so engaging relatable and convincing😅. Could you please recommend a setting where you would wear Maison Alhambra Satin Oud. Like season, casual/formal, crowded/intimate place, dress code.
I need to picture it before I get it. I cover up like arabian ladies do and would like to imagine using it. Thanks so much.
Świetny odcinek! 👍
I bought orientica dupe for B540 and was extremely disappointed in the longevity of it and it was pricier. I think bakkarat 540 is wayyy better in longevity and it's a better dupe and bang for your buck all the way around. U should try it.
Great video! I love those
Wow your pullover ist amazing!! Where did u get it?
osm dupe = Fragrance Worlds Barakkat Satin Oud . Wondering what your thougts are.
Hello Paulina from Bucharest! I am in love with Amouage. Memoire for me is the best in terms of tenacity. By the way, no perfume lasts on me more than 2 hours with a weak tenacity...🤭. I found a dupe for Guidance / Amouage, but it is not good.Its name is Gardens/ Mouj. Only the bottle is ok. It would be interesting if you could gather info related to very niche perfumes like Amouage, MDCI, Pro FVMVM ROMA etc...Thank you for your videos, you are very profi and nice 😉
I have a signature scent which is Mojave Ghost by Byredo. I do love Arabian perfumes and have quite a large collection but I have never been able to find a good dupe for it. Are there any you can recommend? 😊
I have infinity rose of maison Alhambra is deliciuos 😍
Girlll, what eyeshadow is that? It looks gorgeous ❤ (Asking for a friend 😉)
Love these videos!!
OMG!!! IM FROM NAMIBIA AFRICA AND ADORE YOU FOR SPEAKING AFRIKAANS!!! CAN WE ORDER ARABIC PERFUMES TO NAMIBIA?
Between Baroque, Ministry of Oud and Barakkat Satin Oud - which is more masculine leaning?
Wow amazing video❤ you're the best!
Mon dieu le club de nuit impériale is a masterpiece a gem i have a back up of 3 bottles classe long long lasting and unique i love it ❤👌👌👌👌💎💎💎💎💎💕💕💕💕💕💕💋
I hit a like immediately when I saw your lovely eyes ...have a wonderful day
Thank you ❤more please 🙏
Amazing videos!! Can u do a levia cherry lust ? I heard it supposed to be a dupe for tom ford lost cherry. Also jenny glow for jo malone? I heard these two brands under sterling company which also related to armaf
I brought Haya months ago ,i must of got a fake because hardly any smell then after a half hour just a slight off musky smell its awful ,its been macerating for few months too !
Hi, what about dupes for Amouage perfumes?! I saw Guidance already, but not yet in my country...😢
Between Club de Nuit White Imperiale by Armaf and Delilah which one would you say has better performance? and closer to Delina? I love Maison Alhambra but the other brand is intriguing as well🥰🥰🥰
@Paulinaschar have you gotten Bright Peach a dupe for bitter peach well its close and I like it more than bitter peach I use it with Demeter Peach to add more since demeter frags are like a top note addition when layered
Am I creazy? Delina Exclusiv, also Imperial and Roses Vanille are almost the same.
Hi, I really like your videos. I just got the Armaf Club de nuit imperiale and I'm thinking of buying the Armaf Infine rose, hoping it will be a bit more spicy than the Armaf one. Can you please help me if it is worth it? Thank you very much!
You’re the best 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽
Paulina do you have a dupe for Montblanc Signature ? I love that (obcessed actually) perfume, out of stock everywhere and I don't wanna order it from the UK honestly 😅 thanks for the video ! Cheers !
Amber rouge orientica I have and I love 😊
Hello.
Very interested dupes, and thank you for making the effort of showing them to us.
Do you know where we could find online Lataffa Nebras perfume, with the ability of shipping within Europe?
Thank you in advance 💖
have you tried Armaf club de nuit intense woman ( the black bottle with gold cap) ?
As always great job on explaining and detailing and always love your videos and suggestions! Can you or any other of your subscribers such as myself, suggest a dupe for Glossier You EDP? I am absolutely obsessed with that scent, however, something in it does not agree with my skin. I get really red/itchy.....tyia♡
Hi Paulina , is orientica amber rouge still your favorite 540 dupe ? thanks from montreal canada xx
Middle estern dupes content is THE BEST ❤ Like, who ever wants to spend that much for nothing 😂
