    I absolutely loved my bottle of Ajwad. It was a total compliment-getter! at first, it definitely has a metallic/alcoholic opening note. It settles into a basket of berries and dries down to a pure floral vanilla scent. It lasted me throughout the day pretty well

    I don't get a metal smell at all. When I first put it on, I wasn't impressed, but after a few months of sitting on the shelf, I love it. I think this is one of those scents that smells different on every person.

    I’ve always been curious about this fragrance, not the pink to pink, but the original because I see it pop up in my feed all the time. So I’m very glad that you reviewed it. And I don’t understand what it is in the ingredients that makes a perfume smell metallic, but I have experienced that with some Dua perfumes as well. Also, if you don’t want to use them as perfumes, you can pop the top of them and use them as a room scent by adding some reeds into them so that you can use them as a reed diffuser.

    I love this! Thank you for the honesty and your expressions! ❤ you are absolutely correct. Neither are blind buy scents for sure. I have both, when I purchased the Ajwad OG, I couldn't get past the metallic note. I've had it for over a year, and that has calmed down immensely, still ozonic, but way better. The Pink is awesome to me, Summer wear only. I'm like you, I live in the extreme heat 🥵 🔥 ☀️ and I'm curious on how it will do. I have no idea what the Ramadan Salad is, but it sounds delicious 😋 you made a great point about what is common, the nothing special. I've never smelled a fragrance like Ajwad Pink before. It's new, it's intense, it's realistic, and it blew me away. Would I take it on my next trip to Dubai 😅 not after the heads up 😅 great review, Sim, and thank you.

Got a compliment as soon as I walked outside to our letterbox from someone walking their dog 😅. To me it is just as you said completely new and special. I have nothing like it in my perfume wardrobe.

It smells fantastic on me and my sister wasn’t as impressed. Or maybe it has been reformulated, or maybe it hasn’t macerated yet. Who knows… I’m not offended. Its ok. More ajwad for me. It is like opening a suitcase full of piggy banks of pennies and scented dolls and leaking body sprays. Reminds me of childhood. Keep pink to pink tho….. lol

Then I wore it to bed one night a few months after first sniff, and became nauseated. It was on my chopping block (the ONLY one out of my way-too-extensive collection that I literally cannot stomach, and that says a LOT because I am quite tolerant and have never gotten rid of anything), but… I remembered A Fragrant Glance saying that it was such a chameleon and changes completely with age, so I will leave it. Just re-sniffed it while watching your video (I’m a month or two out of the nausea episode), and it smells like it miiiiiight be evolving 🤔 🤞

This fragrance smells amazing on my friend, also I got compliments but it’s strong and lasts all day. This metallic not disappears later. I personally don’t like roses vanilla alone but I mix it with Al Rehab Choco Musk and than it’s amazing. Also Ajwad with Nebras or Choco Musk is much better.

    Hi my beautiful hun, oh you made me laugh and my day started wonderfully watching you with this review. It is housework day and I am having a bad flare of fibro so this video came for me at perfect timing. I also went outside to feed the birds and our baby, Pademelon, called Paddy Bub was there in our back garden, I went and gave him half of my banana ( I was about to have breakfast) and this was the first time ever he walked right up to me to get the treat. He is such a darling, so now I had my great moments and it is time to start the housework, no matter how I feel. I can do it 😅. We are meant to going into another heatwave with 36 C on the weekend. Now as far as Ajwad is concerned I am so glad I never bought it, I read some positive reviews but felt something was not for me however I had a special offer from my perfume shop and they sold me Ajwad Pink to Pink for such a great price and yep, I snapped it up and it arrived and I actually love it. Mind you I have never smelled the fast breaking fruit salad and I totally understand why you would not want to smell like this. However, some people said it has a gasoline blast and stinks, well to my nose is reminds me ( the opening) of AMETHYST as I can smell some leather and the sharp , sour note of citrus and my beloved pink pepper and then it becomes magical on my skin. I can smell some really nice florals ( the rose, magnolia , which I adore, peony) and the true darker side of this perfume starts appearing about 25 to 40 minutes with the wonderful leather note, the musk of course was there present but gets more musky almost slightly animalic on my skin ( in a good sort of way, sensuous ) , the ambergris and moss start doing this sort of dance with the other notes and the vanilla is also there but on me it is the dry down combination that has me under a spell. I went out to the letter box and a lady was walking her dog, she said hello as she walked past , and then turned around and said "Oh my goodness, you smell incredible, what are you wearing? " & she mentioned she had never smelled a perfume like this and it smelled exotic ( so there is the quirky and exotic you mentioned) which was a first for me ( being at the letterbox and being stopped, not the compliment about a perfume 🤣) so that made my day yesterday. Gerry came home ( I had a shower , about 40 minutes before with my oud and flowers shower gel and used my oud and flowers body lotion which I buy in Oz but it is made in Dubai) and had put on Pink after all this, and he said I smelled incredible. So fruit salad is a favourite . I do not mind smelling like a fruit salad as long as it has this divine darkish dry down. 😁😅. I promise I won't wear it when you come to visit one day so you won't need to smell this on me 😀. I love the bottle and the pattern sort of reminded me of our First Nation's art, perhaps the colour of the red earth of the outback. So for me this perfume is a 10 out 10 especially on a warm day. So once again we see how our memories shape what we love to wear or would hate to wear. I have been reading comments about this perfume on some sites and they really hate it and say the gasoline smell is so bad , I was careful when I got it and sprayed it 3 times or so into an empty room , loved what I smelled , then walked back in about 40 minutes later and thought what is this? As it somehow changed, so then I sprayed it and that was it. It stays on my clothes even though I did not spray it there but it is the dry down that you can smell or I can smell on my clothes. My beautiful angel, this was one of my favourite videos ever as I really want to watch your expression again for the OG Ajwad, this must be the first 0 rating for you, or did I miss one? Much much love and light to you always, purrs and smoochies to Markus 😻, and head bumps from our kitties and purrs😽😻 , your sis from another miss, Tia ❤💗❤

      It is always such a pleasure to hear from you. You paint such a beautiful picture with your words, making me feel like I am there with you sharing your experiences. Paddy Bub, that is sooooo friggin cute hehehe. I would be a proper Cinderella and have loads of animal friends if I lived somewhere where there were actually animals besides humans lol. Here it is just Markus and me and the occasional pet dogs I see and demand petting (much to the dismay of their owners 😅) Oh and lets not forget get regular pigeons and Laughing Doves (local bird). Nothing much to see here lol.
      So I will give Pink to Pink a further 3 months trial just because of you. Lol. You have convinced me to give it a shot. I am sure it is a super new formulation and probably needs settling down. I wish to experience half the magic you did with it 😅Thankfully, I dont smell any gasoline in it, which means it matured enough before hitting the shelves here.
      OG Ajwad was the first that ever got such a low rating from me. It is just unacceptable as a perfume. I know there are a few out there who like it and their experience is completely different from ours. They smell nothing metallic. So I wonder if it was a different formulation before? I am sure there is an explanation for this. Coz mine is Stinky Metal and Sweet Rose. Wuuckkhhhh!
      So much love your way my beautiful sis from another miss ❤❤❤
      Big Kissies to Sunti and Pushkins and maybe to Paddy Bub? Hehehe. I dont know if Pademelon's bite Lol.
      Always and forever your friend,
      Sim
      Love & Light... ❤

    lol harsh 😂 I actually like this. I know what you mean by the metallic note on opening. For me it dries down to start apple, fruit and flowers. I’m looking forward to how this macerates.

    It's crazy how subjective smell is. I have 15 Arab perfumes in my collection and the original Ajwad is my favorite. The smell is so beautiful on me and I get compliments upon compliments whenever I wear it. It lasts very long on me as well. I was shocked at how much you disliked it. 😂😂

      Perfume is very subjective. I actually like the original Ajwad. Just because the reviewer doesn't like it does not mean it smells bad. It's just her opinion. You should really smell it for yourself and not go by what she says, make your own judgement.

  • @ayeshairfan9605
    @ayeshairfan9605 5 місяців тому

    I was literally just thinking when you will review Pink to Pink and I opened UA-cam and your video was the first thing! My experience with the OG Ajwad was exactlyyy as you described! The metallic note was disgusting and the sickly sweet fruity note was just migraine inducing 🤢 I have let mine sit for about a couple months and now the metallic note and the sweetness is very faint and smells more like a creamy rose with vanilla but it’s still there so I haven’t dared to put it on myself just yet, but I will let it sit for some more and see! Was waiting for your review on Pink to Pink hoping it would be something nicer than the original, but I’d rather not smell like fruit chaat/salad 😅

      I have Paris corner Emir line Vanilla and Roses and also have Roses Vanille by Mancera and i think they are damn close!! I love them both. Only difference is that Vanilla and Roses is lighter and airy while Rises Vanille is dense..However the emir one doesnt have as strong longevity and projection as Mancera one but stull very decent.

    • @angelamaiyo2524
      @angelamaiyo2524 4 місяці тому

      I agree with you on Ajwad..My goodness! I have Roses Vanille and i love it and since it's expensive I was happy to get my hands on a dupe...what?!! It's horrible.
      Thank God i found Vanilla and Roses by Paris corner- Emir line. Smells just like Roses Vanille but is lighter and airy while the OG is denser.. Thats my opinion anyway.

  • @gigimonsterable
    @gigimonsterable 5 місяців тому

    I left my Ajwad in the shelf for almost 8 months and I just went back to it after watching this. And yes, it's still metallic. Lol
    But perhaps Lahdath is the successful attempt of copying Roses Vanille. 😆

    Interesting, I think your association to Pink to Pink is to a food you eat and don’t really like. I think it’s similar to people who didn’t grow up eating Parmesan cheese and only associate the scent with feet and not a delicious meal. As for original Ajwad, many US reviewers love it but say it needs 2 months maceration.

I don't understand why everyone says it's very good... 🤔 Simin please 🙏🏼Can you review Grandeur by Zimaya, I think it's a dupe of Magic by Al Jazeera 🙏🏼and Luxor by Zimaya a dupe of Palace by Al Jazeera.

    Hi Sim ....I have to agree and ajwad was on my list for months
    ..I realy do not like it ... I could smell a fake mentalic , cloying and very poor ., the rose smells like its been rotting. ..almost gummy ..
    The bottle was leaking and cap was marked & I suspect it was returned and then re sold ..however at least I can re claim the money I wasted ..
    0 out of 10 ...
    Strange, because my friend loves it😮😢
