I'll let you in on a not so secret "secret". Those brands who "worked so hard" on their "original" fragrances are absolutely not giving a crap about you. So little do they care about us that if you knew what it costs to make your average high quality fragrance (on average $6 for a 100ml bottle and that includes the price of a world renowned perfumer to come up with the actual scent) compared to the disgustingly inflated retail price they charge, you'd understand why Middle Eastern brands can afford to make high quality fragrances, with great performance in high quality (usually) packaging. They're still making a killing on each bottle. Designer and Niche companies know that perfumery is #1 in cost to retail markup...in 1988 The LA Times did an article about how a $100 bottle of perfume only cost the company about $1.50 to make. AND THAT WAS 1988. It's so much worse now!! So, please, don't say how unethical clones are. We all know who's REALLY UNETHICAL. 😳
right lmao. all these designers and (big) niche brands aren't as ethical as you think they are. if you REALLY want to support people who work hard, go purchase from actual indie niche brands. don't understand the hate towards dupes when it comes to fragrances at all
Where I live, a 10ml decant of the Yum and a 100ml of the Khair are the same price. Let that sink in. This is no time to play brand snob. It’s ME fragrances all the way for me
Hey fellow Jersey Girl! Love your reviews! I didn’t care for Yum Pistachios but I’m really curious about this fragrance. I just bought Rifaaqat and was blown away. It’s so good. Side by side to Babycat it’s near identical. Just got 2 compliments in One day…really impressed with this house. They’re putting out great fragrances…
I have khair and affection by lattafa. Khair is much closer to the kayali version with the freshness . Affection by lattafa is a creamier lactonic version of the kayali. I prefer the khair one for spring and summer and can go ham because it's cheaper. Affection is still in perfume jail waiting for fall to use her. Good video.
Yeah I have affection from lattafa too and it’s amazingly spot on to kayali imo. Idk about you but I had to let mine sit and macerate for a few weeks. And OMG it’s the most delicious marshmallow sweet pistacho now! It’s amazingggg! And lasts forever. Chi chi gurllll, you will love affection!
Hi Chi Chi! Yum Pistachio is still one that surprises me each time I smell mine lol. I think I will get this bottle next bc the Lattafa one I have is so horridly ugly lol. Thanks for your review 💚
I just spent a nice coin on Kayali so yeah I’m testing a few scents. The Yum pistachio is my lease favorite. It’s something about how all Kayali fragrance smell better layered. The scent reminds me of soap from a hotel. It’s not bad it’s just….I’m glad I bought my own. I might try the middle eastern version simply because I’m loving their fragrances as of lately. They project have longevity and fit my pockets. Thanks for the suggestion
The soapy scent from Yum Pistachio is most likely from the Lily of the valley and aldehydes note which is not present in Khair. Very often if you see Lily of the valley in a fragrance, it's going to have a 🧼 smell
Also sis hear me out. Im a middle Eastern fragrance Queen..... With that being said you have to get zimaya hawwa pink which is a great beautiful dupe for good ol Delina la rosee. My la rosee won't last thru the spring so I'm glad i bought hawwa
I layer devotion and yum all the time. It's so good. I always put devotion on first. I also do fenty and yum, commodity milk and yum, princess and yum, and last but not least Oriana and yum
I think upon spraying both they smell similar. when you really compare them the khair is a more fresh take on kayali. I find kayali is more creamy more whipped cream to my nose. However it’s a really good dupe tho. My only gripe with kayali fragrances is in the beginning when you 1st get them the longevity sucks. It only gets better when you let them macerate. Cause after 3 months the kayali got really strong and I find that to be with all her fragrances.
My kayaking yum did not start preforming well until after a month. After 2 months it is my second best preforming fragrance , my first being kayaking vanilla
Hey Chi Chi - Your video has got me Googling Khair Pistachio. Of course it is sold out at so many places but I don’t really need it. I still have 90 ml of Yum Pistachio. So I am not going to go down the rabbit hole to find a bottle. I can wait like you did and purchase Khair Pistachio when my Yum gets low.
Not to enable but it’s available at Frag Bar right now. I just picked it up. I have Lattafa Affection and love it. So I’m curious as to how this one compares. Many are liking this over the Lattafa and that one is good! I’ve tested the Kayali and they are super similar in my opinion.
Nah, I fell for all the influencers saying how good Pistachio Khair by Paris Corner is and I packed it right back up in the box to take to UPS to return. It STANK like bathroom cleaner and chemicals. Not at all gourmand or sweet or yummy. I let it sit on my skin for hours to let it settle and all it did was give me a headache. Terrible. Avoid at all costs if you want something sweet and dessert-like. It is NOT that.
I have two lovely bottles, love the scent! Unfortunately though, it don't last on me.... BUT imma let her sit, IMMA KEEP HER, give Her a Chance... Cuz SHE, honey she smells like she be worth the wait a 1001%
I purchased Khair not to dupe but for affordability and love it! It's the best fragrance I've smelt and so damn edible. I wanted to eat my arms😋🥰I don't own any of the kayalis
Great Video!!! I’ve semi falling victim to a few dupes! The thing with me is it’s an added expense like you mentioned, because any dupe I have I also have the authentic original! Khair is one of my favorite dupes!!
Read somewhere that they smell like pear/pistachio icecream with playdoh and aftershave. The original cold icecream, the dupe melted icecream. And they're a 100% right.
@christinavanmeter5034 I used to loop dupes and counterfeit in the same bag when it came to fragrance but I'm more open to dupes but I also know I'm still gonna want the original 🤣
Honestly tired of these so called "dupes" they are NOT - most have a medicinal odd bothersome smell that is different from the original.. every time I get one of these I instantly hate it and give it away... I bought this very one and it has an awful twang
You should have let this in maceration ..idiot...Middle eastern perfumes should need to saturated for 3 or 4 weeks...otherwise like you don't have any patience for perfumes so give it away
I'll let you in on a not so secret "secret".

Agreed! I've been trying all the ME fragrances and they're so worth the price! Especially if you don't have "brand name" to compare to.
Where I live, Paris corner is way cheaper than 10 ml kayali pistachio lol
Hey fellow Jersey Girl! Love your reviews! I didn’t care for Yum Pistachios but I’m really curious about this fragrance. I just bought Rifaaqat and was blown away. It’s so good. Side by side to Babycat it’s near identical. Just got 2 compliments in One day…really impressed with this house. They’re putting out great fragrances…
Jersey in the house 😆. I keep hearing about the babycat dupe and I haven't smelled either one so hopefully I'll get it
I have khair and affection by lattafa. Khair is much closer to the kayali version with the freshness . Affection by lattafa is a creamier lactonic version of the kayali. I prefer the khair one for spring and summer and can go ham because it's cheaper. Affection is still in perfume jail waiting for fall to use her. Good video.
I wanna try affection but I love the freshness of khair
Yeah I have affection from lattafa too and it’s amazingly spot on to kayali imo. Idk about you but I had to let mine sit and macerate for a few weeks. And OMG it’s the most delicious marshmallow sweet pistacho now! It’s amazingggg! And lasts forever. Chi chi gurllll, you will love affection!
Just got it and to me it smells exactly like yum which is a good thing given the price!
Yeah with inflation I'll definitely save a few dollars
I don’t care for the opening of Yum Pistachio but the dry down is what sold me. I’m totally interested in this.
I think it's worth a sniff
I was waiting for an honest review! I have a travel size of Kayali that’s almost gone. I’ll get this one for the longevity! Thank you 😊
It's a pretty good dupe
Hi Chi Chi! Yum Pistachio is still one that surprises me each time I smell mine lol. I think I will get this bottle next bc the Lattafa one I have is so horridly ugly lol. Thanks for your review 💚
What do you think of love cuz I don't need or technically but I'm still curious lol
Just bought it. So excited. I’ve had my eye on kayali but this one I’ll pick up instead. Better for my wallet
I just spent a nice coin on Kayali so yeah I’m testing a few scents. The Yum pistachio is my lease favorite. It’s something about how all Kayali fragrance smell better layered.

Kayali is a layering house for sure. There's not too many that I will wear alone
The soapy scent from Yum Pistachio is most likely from the Lily of the valley and aldehydes note which is not present in Khair. Very often if you see Lily of the valley in a fragrance, it's going to have a 🧼 smell
Great review as always 😍 I need to check out the dupe, maybe I’ll fall in love with the scent profile.
If like a fresh cotton candy version you'll probably vibe with it
Also sis hear me out. Im a middle Eastern fragrance Queen..... With that being said you have to get zimaya hawwa pink which is a great beautiful dupe for good ol Delina la rosee. My la rosee won't last thru the spring so I'm glad i bought hawwa
Imma add it to the list
I just purchase that perfume as soon as I smell it, i smell all the sweetness. I will test it out more next week so far I like it
How are you liking it so far
yea. i’ve given up on dupes also. but 👀👀 it’s bout time for me to get another bottle so let’s see which one i should choose 😂😂😂
I mean 40 gets you 100ml lol
I layer devotion and yum all the time. It's so good. I always put devotion on first. I also do fenty and yum, commodity milk and yum, princess and yum, and last but not least Oriana and yum
That combo is the reason yum is living in its final moments 😆
@@LavishlyChiChi 😂😂😂😂
please try Nebras by lattafa, they say its 100% dupe for eilish by billy eilish for much less of price and better projection + longevity
Yes, it is, but with some hint of fruits
Hey bestie! This is my favorite smell now!!! I’m stealing it from you!! Love ya sis 🩷
I gotta get you a full bottle
I think upon spraying both they smell similar. when you really compare them the khair is a more fresh take on kayali. I find kayali is more creamy more whipped cream to my nose.

Glad your review came up in my recommendations....just ordered because my Yum Pistachio is yeah about done 😂 and you're a Jersey girl!!!
Jersey in the house 😆. I still can't believe how quickly I went through yum.
@@LavishlyChiChiSo Miss Lady! My Khair Pistachio came in and yes ma'am it's a Win!
@thisnaturalgirlislocd yasss I love to hear it. I don't know how they did it but I'm not complaining lol
@@LavishlyChiChi Facts! 🤣 have you tried the Sand & Fog Pistachio perfume oil? Smells just like the perfume...I picked it up at Marshalls
@@thisnaturalgirlislocd I'm gonna go to tjmaxx to find that one and the amber one
My kayaking yum did not start preforming well until after a month. After 2 months it is my second best preforming fragrance , my first being kayaking vanilla
Yum wasn't love at first sniff for me but it ended being my most used kayali perfume.
The dupes are better tbh
So far so good
A lot of times they really are better.And I will be honest if I find a dupe that’s better or close I’m definitely going to keep purchasing the dupe.
Hello Chi Chi, That sounds amazing 👏🏾 I am definitely interested in trying. Thank you for this..adding to chart!! 😊
I think you'll like it
Love your reviews. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
I agree 💯 with this review. Same experience! ❤❤
It's so good
I wonder how this one compares to Affection Love by Lattafa? That was the "it" girl dupe for the Kayali a min ago,lol! Great review!!
From what hear on the streets love is a bit creamier and khair is fresher
@@LavishlyChiChi ohhh creamier is right up alley!!! #decisionmade!
Since I saw this in your last video, I have it sitting into my cart. 😩 You're gonna make me spend my money 😩
Sooooo you buying it or nah 😆
haha can't believe you used "mona". Did I heard it right? I thought that was a brazilian portuguese slang for like "guuuurl!". I love it!!!

Definitely no need to run out and get it since you have yum and by the time you finish yum khair won't be as hyped
Not to enable but it’s available at Frag Bar right now. I just picked it up. I have Lattafa Affection and love it. So I’m curious as to how this one compares. Many are liking this over the Lattafa and that one is good!
I’ve tested the Kayali and they are super similar in my opinion.
@@tina_smt oh no I am getting tempted. 🤦🏼♀️
thank you for your review,i wanted to but Yum but it’s too expensive,i will try this dupe,love from Paris😘

Please do a review of Nexa Musee, they say it is a dupe of Prada Paradoxe with YSL libre. Thank you!
I'll try
I happy with my fragrantbodyoilz version. Happy ❤
Ooo what's that
I am interested also. 😊😊
Where did you purchase from?
Tiktok but it's sold out
Have you tried the Lattafa dupe, Love Affection?
I have two lovely bottles, love the scent! Unfortunately though, it don't last on me.... BUT imma let her sit, IMMA KEEP HER, give Her a Chance... Cuz SHE, honey she smells like she be worth the wait a 1001%
Hopefully it'll get it's lasting power once it sits
Hey Chi Chi!❤❤ Happy Sunday!😊
Hey!!
Thank you for your review!
I purchased Khair not to dupe but for affordability and love it! It's the best fragrance I've smelt and so damn edible. I wanted to eat my arms😋🥰I don't own any of the kayalis
"Eat my arms..." That's hilarious.😂
A new Khair Fusion is out now, a dupe for Kayali Lychee
I may have ordered it and it's on the way 😆
What do you prefere: yum kayali, lattafa affection or khair pistachio ?
Yess I’m starting to love this one too, I really don’t like dupe either unless it’s done right like this one.
They really did a great job
Great Video!!! I’ve semi falling victim to a few dupes! The thing with me is it’s an added expense like you mentioned, because any dupe I have I also have the authentic original! Khair is one of my favorite dupes!!
I've been trying to avoid dupes but if they're done like this sign me up
I just heard about it yesterday. People also says is a dupe for Sol de Janeiro 62.
I'm glad to my nose it's not because I didn't like body spray
first spray
like a
root beer smell❤❤❤
I'm sold .... I'ma try it
So should I get this as a gift for my mother inlaw ???
Baby this perfume smells amazing 🥴
Oie linda tem perfume arabe inspirado no devotion dolce cabana
شكرا على عرضه .. كنت أبحث عن بدائل .. وجدت أنها من عندنا 😅
Ugh another product sold out before i can get to it!!😭
It'll be back
Because Mona is bit too greedy 😅 too overpriced not long lasting. So i just buy khair it's amazing!! Confection and fusion are gorgeous too ❤
I feel like you wore white for me 🤍
Yall told me I look good in white so now I'm showing out lol
Read somewhere that they smell like pear/pistachio icecream with playdoh and aftershave. The original cold icecream, the dupe melted icecream. And they're a 100% right.
Anddddd there’s now another dupe 😂
Ard Al Zafaaran Forever Blue!
Chileee I can't keep up 😆
I bought it and don’t care for it. I’ll stick to the original from Kayali… 😏
Sometimes the dupes be better.
For real. Some of my Dossier perfumes end up being better and lasting longer than the original fragrance.
I love dupes! You lost me at “I don’t like dupes”
@christinavanmeter5034 I used to loop dupes and counterfeit in the same bag when it came to fragrance but I'm more open to dupes but I also know I'm still gonna want the original 🤣
does really cap matters 😅😅😅
What about lv imagination and this
Can a man rock this?
Rock what you want it is more feminine leaning
Honestly tired of these so called "dupes" they are NOT - most have a medicinal odd bothersome smell that is different from the original.. every time I get one of these I instantly hate it and give it away... I bought this very one and it has an awful twang
I agree! It’s HORRIBLE. Smells like soap and chemicals. Nothing like what the fragrance notes are described as. So disappointing.
You should have let this in maceration ..idiot...Middle eastern perfumes should need to saturated for 3 or 4 weeks...otherwise like you don't have any patience for perfumes so give it away
Smells terrible! Reminds me of a bathroom cleaner. Soooo disappointed!
I had the same experience. Immediately returned. So gross.
