Hi Harsh Rao, firstly, many thanks for the suggestion. I was totally unaware that my videos are in low resolution. watching from my computer they seemed OK , but I'll definitely look into it going forward. Honestly, Thank you for letting me know. Also, thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it. I'm glad you like this review. I certainly have enjoyed wearing Qaa'ed by Lattafa and I truly recommend. All the best.
@@Anna36936 Hi there! Many thanks for your comment and support. I honestly appreciate it. Although being such a small channel is hard, I thoroughly enjoy doing it; to know that you enjoyed one of my reviews gives me huge satisfaction. Once again, thank you so much for your support, and feel free to give me your feedback on whatever you see I need to improve or could do better. All the very best.
Nice review. For me this is a 'tribute' to Gucci Intense Oud. Smells almost identical. Lattafa don't really make originals, they're nearly always clones - Asad Zanzibar being one recent original they made by getting Fanny Bal in to create one, before that it's nearly all clones. This being one of their early ones, it's definitely gonna be a clone. Elite Gentleman by Avon is another that's very Gucci IO like. Mancera Aoud Exclusif is another, albeit the same price as the Gucci unlike the other two. The Gucci came out in 2016, this was 2018. Clone or not, it's a staggeringly good winter scent for £20 per 100ml. I own all the scents above so I've compared them, and they're all very much in the same scent space, just the Gucci has more rose, and the Mancera has the signature Mancera oudiness they tend to utilise to give their juice a punch. You could wear any and get roughly the same scent bubble though. The Avon one is likely the most surprising given it's the cheapest, and Avon aren't known for making anything half decent usually.
Hi there! Many thanks for your comment. I honestly enjoyed reading it and getting the names of the fragrances you mentioned, many of which I didn't know, but now I'll have a look at them including the Elite Gentleman by Avon especially because I haven't ever properly experience an Avon fragrance, I mean, I never worn one to test. Also, I can see that you know your stuff. I mean, you have these fragrances and have compared them, and built your own opinion, and experiences with these scents. You're right, Lattafa don't really make originals, but they seem to be masters in reproducing good smells! Wow! this is news to me! I didn't know that Asad Zanzibar is Lattafas first original! I had a quick look online and found out that it's just about £21, and it was launched this year, 2024!! I feel like I must try it! Its notes got me now thinking: Top notes are Lavender and Black Pepper; middle notes are Coconut Water, Iris and Salt; base notes are Vanilla and Incense. Looking at these notes I feel a bit dubious regarding its smell, but it makes me even more excited to get a bottle!!! I don't know if you've seen my review of Asad Lattafa Unisex Eau de Parfum - I'll add the link here as I'd love to know what you think, if you don't mind, of course: ua-cam.com/video/qI3Cbp0czJs/v-deo.html Once again, many thanks for your comment. It's much appreciated. 👍
@@forscentssake no worries mate. Get Zanzibar, I'm sure it'll surprise you, it's an absolute beast performance wise, just goes on and on and on. I think people knocked it as it was an Asad, and they were expecting another clone like Sauvage Elixir, but for me it surpasses that - it's just a cracking scent for £20 especially for summer. Good luck with the channel, you're enjoyable to watch and that's half the job done on UA-cam.
@@forscentssake oh, and I'll check your review on Asad. It's not my kind of scent as I don't like Sauvage Elixir to begin with, but I'll be interested to see if you get the same vibe from it that I did. I didn't dislike it, just thought it was a bit of lazy Sauvage meets PdM smell. But then it's aimed at the mainstream so it fits what Dior wanted perfectly, that stepping stone between designer and niche. Dior definitely know what they're doing as they could have released Sauvage in the Prive line and named it anything, but they stuck the Sauvage label on as they knew it'd sell like hot cakes. And it did.
Hi Grim Singmuf! So you're about to put your hands on Qaa'ed Al Shabaab?! I've seen it online and was wondering what the smell of it may be like. I've been trying to get Bella Vita CEO, but it's been hard to find one on a reliable and trustworthy website. I just can't find it anywhere but only on Ebay, and I'm a bit sceptical of buying things on Ebay (I've heard some many bad stories) but I can't find it available anywhere else. Anyway, I'm glad you like my review. If I'm not being too cheeky could you let me know what you think of Qaa'ed Al Shabaab's smell once you got it? if you don't mind of course. Once again, many thanks for your comment 👍
Thanks WhatsThatSmel. You're right, Lattafa normally offers very good longevity, so if you get a scent that you enjoy wearing you're then a winner as you can spray it in the morning and it'll stay with you throughout the day. By the way, thank you for your comment. It's always a pleasure to get your opinion. 👍
@@GrimSingmuf I'm surprised to hear that because Lattafa, as you know, still pretty new to me. I'm still discovering their scents. But it's great to know that you're well acquainted with Lattafa's fragrances. I hope my next Lattafa review is one that you like, however if it's not it'll be, as always, lovely to hear your opinion and get you feedback. Hope you're doing well. 👍
@forscentssake I love the quality and affordable of Lattafa Perfumes. I just received Khanjar from their Niche Emarati line. It has a great presentation, very heavy metal, comes in a display case, and it looks like a dagger. Supposedly, it is a clone of Ganymede. However, I have never smelled that fragrance.
I must try this one! Sounds like it's one of those smells that everyone craves for! Thanks for the suggestion. Am adding it to my next purchase list. 👍
Hi there 👋 I haven't yet tried Qaa'ed Al Shabaab, but so far I've heard mixed opinions about its smell, so I'll soon get a bottle to find out for myself and, of course, I'll review it here. Let's see how that goes for me! But as I normally say, it's all about likes and dislikes. Find a fragrance you like and enjoy it, the ones you dislike avoid them. By the way, thanks for your comment 👍 I honestly appreciate it. All the best.
@@Sleezy.Design hello there! Qaa'ed intense is another one I feel I must try. You see, Lattafa fragrances are new to me. I'll add this one to my list of fragrances to buy and share my review on this channel. Thanks for your suggestion. It's much appreciated. I Hope to hear from you again. All the very best 👍
Hi Ca, I understand what you mean. I tried Ana Abiyedh Rouge also by Lattafa and didn't like it at all. I wore it and tested its longevity like I normally test all the fragrances to make sure I'm fair to every fragrance I review, but must confess that it was a hard work. In the end I washed my arm as it was giving me headache but it wouldn't come off easily! So, just like you said about Qaa'ed Al Shabaad, Rouge is also strong! I made a full review video and after that had to get read of the fragrance. That one certainly isn't for me!!
Most Lattafa perfumes are Awesome, Unlike Western perfumes in which it doesn't last and cost a lot PS: Don't forget Afnan perfumes they have the best perfume in whole the world👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Mountana Rivera! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at Afnan fragrances and review on thia channel. Lattafa still pretty new to me, but I must confess I've been enjoying their scents. Longevity wise it's also great. All the very best and hope to hear from you again. 👍
I have tried it!
And, Even got a 10 ml decant of Qaeed.
Smells so good - spicy and creamy fragrance.

Can I say I’m loving your longer videos? It’s lovely to see a bit more of you 😜
As always you're very kind Jane! Many thanks for your lovely words.

There's a new Flanker called Qaa'ed Intense and it's a clone of Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée
I must try this one! Sounds like it's one of those smells that everyone craves for! Thanks for the suggestion. Am adding it to my next purchase list. 👍
I just tried Qaa'ed al Shabaab it was disgusting to me when I tried to wash it off it didn't so atleast its strong
