Finally a video for Mystique Bouquet by Afnan. Is it a dupe?

  • As stated in the video both of these fragrances have similar notes with a couple of variations that are different. I would have to say that Mystique bouquet has a longer top note compared to Valaya. On my skin the Valaya quickly gets to the dry down, unlike Mystique Bouquet, it remains bright and citrusy towards the dry down. Some might say MB is linear, but to me its more of a longer drive🤭. They both have the fruity, fresh, floral, and woody aspects but I still enjoy MB better.
    Please let me know if you have purchased this fragrance, I would love to hear your thoughts 💬

    Thanks for the review and honest truth. I blind bought this for my wife; hoping she would wear it more! It is a close dupe of PDM V, but I REALLY I appreciate the MB a bit more. When I smell the MB, I smell 3 separate & distinct experiences throughout the day. The blossom (opening), the fruit (the mid) and the late harvest (dry down). I love the complexity, the maturity and playfulness. its very alluring with a bit of mystique (no pun intended)
    It is solid 👍🏾 from a guy who appreciates a deeply mysterious and complex, professional woman!! This would be her signature scent most of the year.

    Great review!!! and yes Valaya is beautiful, but the citrus doesn’t stay around ..it dries down to a musk ..

    • @gero1028
      @gero1028  9 місяців тому +2

      Yes it is beautiful. I like musk, but feel if the citrus would have picked back up in the base with the musk and the ambrofix, it would be even better for me. Amber like orange with a hint of musk 🤤. Thanks for stopping by it's always a pleasure 🥰

    Thank you for the review. How does mystique bouquet differ from Fleur bouquet? I have and love Fleur bouquet and am wondering how different they are. I find Orientica Fleur d’oreientica to be a dupe of Valaya, it has the same tea note as Valaya.

    • @gero1028
      @gero1028  9 місяців тому +2

      I haven't tried Orientica, but now I want to get my nose on it to compare. To me Fleur and MB both start out with a citrus blast, but FB quickly dissipates to more of the musk and floral notes. I also think FB is dense and MB is more light, and less green on my skin.

    I wonder about the silage and longevity of Mystique Bouquet by Afnan. Valya lasts forever and follows you and that’s what sets it apart too.

    • @gero1028
      @gero1028  7 місяців тому

      Thanks for asking, I wish I could give you more insight on sillage or longevity. I have another fragrance from this brand and don't have any issues. I've worn this only around the house and of course they smell me in the same room. I think wearing it outside would be a true testament of its productivity. Honestly, I purchased this for less than $40 and don't mind respraying it. But I would never say the original is not worth purchasing if one has the means. I think Creator Paulina made a video on this fragrance as well, but I can't recall if she mentioned the sillage or longevity, but please check out her page. ❣️👋

    Question- do you think the FB smells more like an older mature woman smell?

    • @gero1028
      @gero1028  6 місяців тому

      I think it's more of a sophisticated scent, but it still has that brightness to it in the beginning because of the fruit. The florals and the woody notes balance everything out.
