This is a great one to try if you don't know if this type of scent family is your thing. Valaya and fleur narcotique are very similar, and I think mystique bouquet comes very close
I’m so glad I just watched two of your last fragrance videos. I’m so impressed with this classy, well spoken woman that I just watched. I’m now subscribed to your channel and so glad!!!
I got mystique bouquet today and as soon as i sprayed it omg!! If this is what Valaya smells like. I’m dropping my coin on the OG. it smells so good even for a dupe. I didn’t want to blind buy it just because people are hyping it so much but hell yeah PDMV add to cart 😂
Hey babes! That's why I love dupes! They give us an idea of how we want to proceed. I had the same experience with the dupe for MFK Grand Soir (Amber Grand). I ended buying the original. lol Let me know what you end up doing.
Omg I got this one today and oooooh this might become my signature scent! I’m not familiar with perfumed Marley valaya, but Afnan mystique is beautiful! This is my type of scent
Good evening Ker-leen😊. Great review, I'm very interested in both fragrances. But the 'dupe' sounds fantastic to me. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great review! I have a small sample of Valaya; I really like it, but I don't love it enough to get a full bottle. I think I'll get Mystique Bouquet instead.
This is the best fragrance review ever because I love vayala but it was also an unexpected and beautiful encouragement I needed at the end. Thank you so much and God bless.
First of all you look so stunning… absolutely love the eye look. I have a sample of Valaya and it’s so pretty. I think i want to invest in the size one of these days but i would love to try the so called dupe as well. Great video.❤
I’m waiting for Mystique Bouquet and it will arrive tonight. I’m so excited! As always your videos are the nicest. They calm me down after a hectic day and makes me feel better. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and encouragement 😘
Hi Jessica! Than you so much for watching and for sharing such sweet feedback. 🥹 You are so welcome. 🥰😘💞 I'm glad my videos could be a source of peace and calm for you. We all need that at the end of a long day. 🙏🏾 Please do check back in with your thoughts on the fragrance when you have a chance.
Valaya has 4 different synthetic molecules (notes) to its composition. Givaudan owns the Akigalawood synthetic (not 100% on the others), so only perfumers that work for Givaudan have access to that molecular scent. Yes, I went down a rabbit hole 😂
Hi Ker-leen. You do an excellent job of describing frangrances. I just know i need Valaya in my collection. I am waiting till my New York trip next month, where I'll pick her up from the PDM store. I own Delina and Cassilli, and they are lifers for me. Please know that your inspirational, faith based messages are highly appreciated💛
Thank you so much, Queen! Picking it up during a trip will make it even more special. 🥰 I really want to add Delina de La Rosé to my collection. I am so grateful that the messages are an encouragement to you. Thanks so much for watching. 🙏🏾💞😘
I don’t personally have any fragrances with nympheal in it but when I type that note into Fragrantica only two perfumes pop up as having it. The one you have and another perfume called Floratta Flores Secretas O Boticário. The Middle Eastern perfume bottles are just amazingly beautiful.🤓🤓🤓
wow that's crazy! Quentin Bisch has created a few scents for O Boticário👀! what if? haha! O Boticário is a huge brazilian brand, they can be compared as a brazilian Avon, they're veeeery mass market and they have at least a shop in basically every city here in Brazil. They do an excellent job making very good quality fragrances and their social work is amazing
I can only watch side by side comparisons now...I watched someone who didn't have the original, and their review was opposite those who did😂😂. This is the true way to give us that %of accuracy🙌🏿🙌🏿
just got mine and it's beautiful! I was expecting woody notes so I know what you mean. Maybe I'll go for the OG eventually, but it's an amazing fragrance. I layered with musamam white intense and woooow! pure luxury
I liked Valaya, but always got a headache, every.single.time. I wore it. I have Mystique Bouquet and do not get a headache. I think the aldehydes in Valaya were giving me the headaches. I prefer MB over Valaya because it doesn't't give me a headache.
Thanks for sharing that. I think the aldehydes might be troublesome for a lot of people, so that's important to know. I'm glad you found one that works for you. 🥰 Thanks for watching, beauty. 🙏🏾
I have La Fleur Bouquet from Afnan in similar bottle which suppose to dupe Fleur Narcotique (it has also peach note). I wonder how close these 2 are and if you have one would the other be redundant 🤔
I just got Mystique bouquet. Valaya is still king in my book. I think the spiciness in MB is throwing me off, but it smells more like Valaya in the dry down. On me it doesn't last long and it made my hubby and daughter sneeze 🤧 😅.
Hey friend! Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience. It's quite beautiful and definitely makes a statement. I can't wait to wear it more in the Summer. That's when it shines for me. 🥰😘♥️
I really enjoyed this review. You are very well spoken and give great specific details about the actual fragrance notes. I’ve watched others say stuff like “it smells like luxury “ “it smells like that feeling when everything is going your way”. WHAT??!! I have no idea what that smells like so thanks for keeping it straight and to the point! 😂
Awww thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I lol'ed at “it smells like that feeling when everything is going your way” 😂 Your feedback means a lot tot me. Have a beautiful week. 💞
Gorgeous comparison! I have both and I absolutely love Valaya. It’s one of a kind. This alternative is beautiful as well and gives a more feminine touch. Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman is also very close, but more unisex. You should try it! 😊
Thank you for watching, beauty! And thank you so much for sharing that fragrance recommendation. I will definitely check that out. I agree...the dupe is def. more feminine. 😘💕
I’m on my second bottle. Its beautiful and to me, mystic bouquet is spot on.
Wow! Second bottle? That says a lot. I'm glad you are loving it, beauty. xoxo
Where did you purchase
@@Imblessed2day ebay
Love this necklace, especially juxtaposed with the jacket.
Thank you, love. 😍😍😍
This is a great one to try if you don't know if this type of scent family is your thing. Valaya and fleur narcotique are very similar, and I think mystique bouquet comes very close
Thanks for watching and for adding that, friend. ❤❤❤
I think both fragrances have the same " nose", Quentin Bisch.
Thanks for sharing that beauty! I was unaware. So interesting! ♥️

Good evening Ker-leen😊. Great review, I'm very interested in both fragrances. But the 'dupe' sounds fantastic to me. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hey beauty! It really is fantastic. The dupe is enough to satisfy that space in my opinion. It’s super close. Thanks for watching. 🥰😘💕
Great review! I have a small sample of Valaya; I really like it, but I don't love it enough to get a full bottle. I think I'll get Mystique Bouquet instead.
That's the perfect reason to get the dupe. You can experiment with little risk. 🥰🥰
Same here, I think I'll go with the dupe for sure
Mystic Bouquet had a recent price drop on Amazon..I grabbed it yesterday!
Thank you so much for dropping the tea, sis! I'm glad you were able to grab it. 😘😘😘
How much was it?
How do you like it?
Thank you so much for that ending! That was an unexpected and much needed message!❤❤
You are sooo welcome, lovely. 🫶🏾🙏🏾💕
Fragrance aside this look is gorgeous!
Wow! Thank you so much, beauty! 🥰😘🥰
This is the best fragrance review ever because I love vayala but it was also an unexpected and beautiful encouragement I needed at the end. Thank you so much and God bless.
Oh wow! What a wonderful compliment!! Thank you so much, beauty! I am so glad I could be an encouragement to you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰😘 God Bless, sis!

Aww...thank you beautiful! Yay! Glad to hear you love it. I heard there are other dupes as well, so I might be reviewing those soon.

Oh wow...thank you sooo much for sharing that. That makes sense. No, please share more...I would love to learn. 🥰 Do you work in the industry?
I felt exactly the same way you did about the afnan perfume. I love how you say Valaya is eternity. It will stay on your clothes forever.
It's so good! Thanks for watching, friend.
Hi Ker-leen. You do an excellent job of describing frangrances. I just know i need Valaya in my collection. I am waiting till my New York trip next month, where I'll pick her up from the PDM store.

Just got mine today. I like it better than Valaya, smells slightly sweeter which I love.
Hi beauty! That's awesome. I love it when I prefer the dupe more...saves me some coins. 🥰🥰🥰
You encouraged Me Greatly! Thank You for sharing You an Your Testimony! You're appreciated 🎉😊
Wow! That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much for being here. 🙏🏾🥰😘
no PDM is beast mode on my skin but I love this . To my nose they are spot on and I love them both.
Oh, ok. lol I was like wow! I need to go back and do another wear test. 😆😘 Have an amazing weekend, friend. 🥰😘
I really enjoyed your presentation, your description of both scents were so well done and helpful!

Thank you sooo much for this detailed review of both! The way you described the dry down of MB makes me want it even more than Valaya 🤩🙈
You are so welcome, lovely. 💕
You do a great job of describing fragrances. Subscribed. 🩷
Oh wow! And the video came with a message? I think I'm gonna like here??? 😂
Thank you for being here, Queen! I'm so grateful you subbed! 🙏🏾🥰🥰🥰
I'm glad you were encouraged. So happy you're here. 😘😘😘
She nailed it. I Hope the camera quality gets better with time. You are amazing GIRL!!!!!Keep it up!!!
Thank you sooo much! Be sure to adjust your internet/UA-cam settings, because my videos play super clearly and crisp on a 60-inch TV.

New subbie. I love Valaya you’re beautiful great video
Thank you so much for watching and for subbing! I am so glad you're here. ♥️ 🤗
Your comparison is so descriptive. I’d love if you tried Fleur de orientica and see if it’s any better
Hi beauty! I will definitely be doing that comparison in the future. 😘 Thank you for watching. 💕
Thank you, beautifull review..
Thank you so much, lovely. ❤❤❤
agree with you on the packaging of their fragrances at the price point. Very unique
Yes! It amazes me every time! Thanks for watching gorgeous! 🥰😘
Which one is better, mystique Bouquet or La fleur Bouquet?
I don't yet own La Fleur Bouquet, but maybe one of the family members can say...
I have La Fleur Bouquet from Afnan in similar bottle which suppose to dupe Fleur Narcotique (it has also peach note). I wonder how close these 2 are and if you have one would the other be redundant 🤔
I don't know how it smells, but according to the notes it could be redundant, in my opinion.
They are both fresh scents but aren’t close enough to be redundant imo.
This was a great explanation on the fragrances.
Glad it was helpful! 🥰🥰🥰
You have princess elsa vibe, thanks for sharing
Awww...thank you so much. ☺️🥰
I ❤ Valaya. Are there any other Arabian fragrances that may be closer? Great review.
Hi friend. I've heard of one other ones, but haven't had a chance to test them out yet.
I just got Mystique bouquet. Valaya is still king in my book. I think the spiciness in MB is throwing me off, but it smells more like Valaya in the dry down. On me it doesn't last long and it made my hubby and daughter sneeze 🤧 😅.
Kerleen I LOVE your necklace, where did you get it? 🤍
Hi friend! It's a Cult Gaia Necklace that I believe is sold out. Here's a link: rstyle.me/+3PI0oKWfIENFhA-X7YtnOA
Thanks for watching. 🥰🥰🥰
Can you compare it to orienticas dupe of valaya ? 💕
Thank you for the request! I will try and get my hands on that one, too. 💕
Hi please what is the Orientica dupe for valaya called
Fleur de orientica ( I heard it smells like valaya and others say like fleur narcotique)
I don't get beast mode from valaya but i still enjoy it!
Hey friend! Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience. It's quite beautiful and definitely makes a statement. I can't wait to wear it more in the Summer. That's when it shines for me. 🥰😘♥️
great comparison video!
Thank you, beauty! 💞💞💞

Awww thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I lol'ed at “it smells like that feeling when everything is going your way” 😂 Your feedback means a lot tot me. Have a beautiful week. 💞
I found mystique bouquet a lot woodier, more unisex, than Valaya. I think Orientica Fleur d’orientica is a better dupe for Valaya.
That's so interesting! I definitely have to check out the Orientica version. Thanks for watching. ♥️
Great dupe
Yes! Thanks for watching, sis! ♥️
I have 2 backup of Valaya❤❤❤I do not believe a dupe can compete. Thanks for sharing. ❤
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous comparison! I have both and I absolutely love Valaya. It’s one of a kind. This alternative is beautiful as well and gives a more feminine touch.
Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman is also very close, but more unisex. You should try it! 😊
Thank you for watching, beauty! And thank you so much for sharing that fragrance recommendation. I will definitely check that out. I agree...the dupe is def. more feminine. 😘💕
Is Orientica Fleur similar to Valaya?
I'm not sure, as I don't yet have that one. I have been curious about it...
Do u feel a man can pull off Mystique Bouquet?
I find it very feminine-leaning, but it might be perfect on a man in the Summer months when the freshness and juicy notes smell great on anyone. 😃
Girl you are SELLING this thing! They need to give you a job. The musk and woody note throw me completely 😢 I hate peach also
Awww...thank you! 🥰🥰🥰 It's definitely musky and woody but in the most palatable way. 💞
Очень красивая девушка!! Не менее прекрасный аромат! Привет из России!!! ✌️
Thank you, friend! 💕💕💕
