love Val as a guest. I like that her taste is diverse. She loves a "cheapie" but also goes for things that fit her vibe even if they aren't as popular. There's always something I feel the need to check out no matter how many videos on fragrances I watch. Prive Rose, Voux patrisserie, shaghaf oud toffee have me curious as well as olivia and coastal but i'm less of a freshie girl so i'll try to get a deal or sample.
Omg, let me get a pen and paper for this cuz Val is here!!!! Maria, Val, had to tell you that when you talked about Forbidden Sugar I decided to buy it. It was on my Wishlist anyway. Okay, the scent was AMAZING but the longevity was not so great. Which made me sad. It's been sitting on a shelf for two months now and I decided to give it another try recently. It still smelled amazing but I was shocked when I didn't need to respray after a couple of hours. I can't get enough of it! I end up smelling my wrist constantly. Even in the grocery store which got me a strange look from someone the other day.😁 So, YEAH! Love, love, love when Val visits.
I love you ladies together! The energy you both create in the videos is everything. Please make videos more often! Val, you need to try Taskeen Lactea Divina. It is really good. I would love your opinion on this one! Love you both!❤
Coming into summer here in Australia, I’m desperately seeking bright clean summery fragrances that don’t have coconut! Immediately went and pulled the trigger on Shahd and Coastal Pour Femme. These both sound PERFECT! Also, I bought Voux Patisserie a couple months ago and HATED it. As your video played I dragged it of my bottom drawer and gave it a spritz into the air. It’s much improved! It won’t be any good to me in this summer heat, but once the seasons become cooler again, this might just be one that I revisit. Thank you both!
I’m so glad to see you posted! And with Val!! I definitely needed a video from you two to cheer me up! Thank you for coming through 😊 You are a blessing 🙏
I’ve been wanting Liquid Brun for like 2 months now and been adding it, removing it, from my cart a few times. THISSS sent me over the edge and I ordered it during Black Friday!! Got it for a really good deal($37)
Loooove ya girls !!! Maria I always love your facial expressions and honesty ❤❤❤ And my sweet Val I have missed u my fragrance sister!!! Ps just added coastal to my cart say less !!! I love smells like this and I’m soooo excited never even heard of it !
I'm watching the video and taking notes when my husband walks in and says y'all remind him of NPR Delicious Dish!!! It's an SNL. 😂 Great video by the way! 💜
The Dynamic Duo. I so enjoy watching you two...and the dogs playing in the background is the icing on the cake. 😂 Like Val, I am not the biggest rose fan, so my ears perked up at her description of Prive Rose. That sounds intriguing, sort of a gourmand rose? Would that be accurate? Plus I see it is on sale here for 14€! I'll risk it..😊. I really enjoy Shaghaf Oud Vanille Toffee, but the name is misleading. This is not for beginners; it's a gourmand for grown-ups. And this makes it stand out, in a good way, from the mountains of gourmands currently being released. ❤
I can’t express how much I love you too together talking about fragrances (or anything really). The “I can't stop sniffing” podcast has to happen soon !!! 🥰🥰
My favorite duo on UA-cam!! Whenever Val comes on, I know I'm going to be spending money, lol! I'm about to buy Maison Alhambra Coastal thanks to this video. I guess im entering my demure era, lol!
Hi ladies, love your honesty and energy. I really enjoy you two together, lots of laughter! I have Paris Corner Pistachio and Paris Corner Minya Green coming soon. Thanks for your reviews! Cheers from New Brunswick.🥰
I just picked up Costal with a black friday code for £11.98! Couldnt resist! I know I like the Lacoste pour femme dna though. Thanks for the tip ladies! ❤
I would so love a collab with you both and a middle eastern perfume House. Like a discovery set, or a pair of fragrances that capture your tastes. That would be sumthin.... Very very happy to have found this lovely channel.❤
I also have a passion for the Middle East perfumes and can’t wait to try a few of the ones mentioned. I will try Coastal, the first Rose one and will probably get liquid brun. I thought the prive rose was a Delina dupe but maybe not? That is why I never got it. Thank you for your review of them!
@ Hi Val! Yes, thank you for clarifying that for me. I do like Delina dna but do not love it and already have the Maison Alhambra version of it. I can’t wait to try this one now!

Great video. I tested the Shagaf oud vanilla toffee the other day, its smells just like treacle toffee that we used to get here in the uk when I was I child, I remember my grandad eating it. I don’t think I want to smell like that really 😆
OK, best way to wear vanilla toffee in my experience is spray the clothes you wanna wear for the next day and they’ll be ready for you to smell freaking bomb all day🧡🧡🧡🧡
Shahd is such a pretty fragrance - I love it! But the longevity isn't the best for me. I wonder if that will improve once it has sat for a little while.
Omg!I love your reviews with Val!You bring out so much humour from each other 🎉😂 I would love to find a middle eastern dupe for Byredo Blanche at least as good as Dossier's Musky Aldehydes...I live in Europe where it's not available 😔 thank you for such entertaining yet explanatory reviews!!!!
Hi love watching you both ..if you love the yum pistachio you really need to try thr french avenue one. Its in the same bottle as liquid brun ..the green 💚 and the pink bottle is amazing thats duping scarlet poppy intense by jo malone ..
The best from Mamlakat Al Oud is Cotton Abyed. You must try it. Such a good vanilla. Another amazing ME perfume that no one is talking about yet is JC Perfume Oud Caramello. It’s like Burberry Goddess with caramel. A must try
Thaaaaank you for reviewing Hayat! Literally no one talks about it! And apparently she's got a sister, Tibyan, that I'd love to see a review on. I love that you do reviews on obscure ME fragrances. A good review on a lot of these is really hard, if not impossible, to find. I thank you (my wallet doesn't however 😉) for the wonderful videos!! 🫶
My VIBRANT ORANGE & NEROLI needed to macerate a bit. I find it closer to Afternoon Swim by LV, than Sundazed. I also have the green vetiver one, that people say is a dupe for Bal d'Afrique, but I don't think so, even though it is nice.
Speaking about Kamarah the best similar fragrance I have come across is Zika by lattafa which in fact smells similar the Gallagher fragrances rose all Dae.
I'm really curious about Rose of dreams and Olivia now. I had Vanilla toffe and thought it was awful, and I almost never straight off hate a fragrance, it was delicious for the first 3 seconds and then heavily burnt sugar, definitely not a safe blind buy that one!
What could be better than hanging out with my girls after the joy of Thanksgiving!!!! (Ha ha)I got right out of the tight clothes into my PJs. And the growling in the background is priceless❤ Love Vibrant Orange, thanks for the recommendations!!!
Liquid Brun and Vanilla Toffee are my kind of scents...dark, rich, and a bit complicated. Vouz P is too candle-like. I adore Alexandria's dupe of Italica.
Al Wataniah has another perfume in the same bottle as hayat but pink in color, it's called Tibyan and it's a beautiful soft sweet solar, tropical scent with zero oud/spice
*sighs as I get my pen out. I'm glad to get a different perspective because I have only ever heard that the Prive Rose does not smell good. And I also enjoy the clean girl aesthetic so I'm going to look into Coastal
Omg I want to smell coastal. I see a blind buy in my future. The nutmeg in a clean scent seems very bizarre to me so that is the only thing that makes me wonder how it plays together. Interesting...always appreciate vals reviews.
Lacoste pour femme was one of my absolute favorites. So clean. My ex ruined it for me because now the scent is tied to his memory because I wore it every night before bed.
Can you go again over Orientica perfumes, please😢. There are so many of them now and I am not sure which one to choose. Prices went up on them too, so would love to hear your opinion before choosing.❤
Liquid Brun is a dupe for Althair by PDM
Yes just as Val said in the video..
@ the on screen text said Layton
She said that in the video, just a mistake in the name shown on screen.
Oh thanks for catching that! I had Layton on the brain!! Can’t fix it now but I’m glad that you caught it!!
@@mariacollettlife have a blessed day!
Yay! Val teaches us about all the secret greats from theMiddle East collections. Iam very interested in two them. Thank you so much!!!!!!❤️🌹
I just started the video and my wallet went into hiding. I can't find it. 😂😂😂😂 I love you guys and thank you for the video.
Smart one, I lost the war for this one😔
Always look forward to your reviews ladies!

I love voux . Currently wearing it while watching the video ❤
OH MY GOSH! I was just going through the playlist and i spy "uploaded an hour ago" you really heard my prayers 😂❤
🤣 glad you were happy!
*Val, I also have Shahd by Lattafa and when layered with Montaigne Coco by Maison Alhambra it is FANTASTIC!!!* 💜💜💜💜💜
Oh my goodness GRACIOUS will I ever be trying that out next summer!! Thank you!
I actually really adore Shaghaf Toffee Vanilla! The smokey note is done so well - I find it very addictive!

I love you two! Thank you for helping me select lovely Middle Eastern Fragrances.
Dang it! I want 90% of those! Great video!!!
Yay! I love watching you two together 😊
I can’t express how much I love you too together talking about fragrances (or anything really). The “I can't stop sniffing” podcast has to happen soon !!! 🥰🥰
That would be so fun!! Imagine the four of us doing a fragrance podcast!! 🤣💕
Omg the dream team!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good to see you both!!!! 🎉
Ive been wearing Coastal for over a year. I definitely knew about Coastal.
My favorite duo on UA-cam!! Whenever Val comes on, I know I'm going to be spending money, lol! I'm about to buy Maison Alhambra Coastal thanks to this video. I guess im entering my demure era, lol!
Great choice!! 🤣🤣🤣
Finally ❤️ I have been waiting for another gem from you guys ❤️
Hope you enjoy!
I love shahd. It’s so pretty!

The Vanilla Toffee is a banger. It's not the same as Sticky Dates to me either, but I do love to use VT over the SD body cream.
Great video. I tested the Shagaf oud vanilla toffee the other day, its smells just like treacle toffee that we used to get here in the uk when I was I child, I remember my grandad eating it. I don’t think I want to smell like that really 😆

Wow 😂
@@spiritcloud5883 ☺️
I spray clothes and shoulders and each arm and back of neck and between bosoms
I just ordered Voux Patisserie, I have never smelled Italica but always wanted it but will settle for this:))
Noses are so different because the reviews I have heard feel it is very close to Italica, I shall see, as long as I love it I will be good:)
I love that vanilla toffee. I think it’s going to be one of my fave buys eventually
Hey Maria and Val!! ❤😘
Helioooooo! 💕
Awesome reviews ladies! Always happy to see Maria and Val. Now I'm very curious about coastal...
Aaaaaaaah... Another Video!!!!!! Thank you ladies ❤❤❤
this video has been here almost 43min and I already had ordered "Coastal"....🤣so funny!
You will love it!
love you two together
I love shahd! It reminds me of aerie’s hibiscus palm.
Love Val❤❤❤❤
You need to check out Lattafa Peace and Love. It’s a stunner and lasts forever. So good. 😊
Shahd is such a pretty fragrance - I love it! But the longevity isn't the best for me. I wonder if that will improve once it has sat for a little while.
Thank you for this review. You collab well together!
Omg!I love your reviews with Val!You bring out so much humour from each other 🎉😂 I would love to find a middle eastern dupe for Byredo Blanche at least as good as Dossier's Musky Aldehydes...I live in Europe where it's not available 😔 thank you for such entertaining yet explanatory reviews!!!!
Definitely like these videos
Hi love watching you both ..if you love the yum pistachio you really need to try thr french avenue one. Its in the same bottle as liquid brun ..the green 💚 and the pink bottle is amazing thats duping scarlet poppy intense by jo malone ..
Thank you for the recommendations!! The pink one is next on my list
Coming back later I need to carefully listen to this! Driving my daughter back to college
I love this videos about middle eastern perfumes ❤❤❤
Love your video ❤❤❤
Hi Maria and Val! is Rose of dreams anything like Morah silky rose? I’ve also heard that Prive rose smells like delina? Thank you for this video.
The best from Mamlakat Al Oud is Cotton Abyed. You must try it. Such a good vanilla.
Another amazing ME perfume that no one is talking about yet is JC Perfume Oud Caramello. It’s like Burberry Goddess with caramel. A must try
That’s sounds amazing!!!
Ward means rose. Wardi I think then means pink. Love your videos together 🥰
Wardi means pink 😊

I have a few from Al ard zafaran and love the quality 😊in Miami we get very good offers from local stores 😊
Valllll!! ❤🎉😂

Coastal beats postal! The dogs agree!
The thought of buying the perfume y’all like makes me nauseous but y’all have personality for days.
Well thanks for hanging out with us regardless! 💕💕
How does Rose of Dreams compare to Delina La Rosee? I would love to know!
I love Val! She seems like such a lovely lady, I wish I were your guy's friend, too!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Great recommendations
Great video ❤️ does anyone know of a dupe for Olympea Legend? 😘
Wardi means pink in arabic
Love videos with you two kooks 😂
They have the prive rose at Fragbar and it is in my cart.
It’s gorgeous!!
Came to 22 with tax + shipping. I won’t be too surprised it needs to sit and macerate for a while. Still looking forward 💗
Where can I purchase in Canada? 🇨🇦
How’s the performance on prive rose thanks
Original Kayali was vanished in 15 minutes 😢
😊😊❤️❤️
Prive Rose smells a little like Delina Exclusif to me.
No! I literally just bought 8 middle eastern ones across all the black Friday sales. 😂
Love it!!
@@mariacollettlifeactually, identity Oud crescent & kaheela lux are part of that haul! I got liquid brun earlier
@jjwood32 I bought Kaheela Lux also in Black Friday sales after seeing on Maria's videos. I adore that one.
@@jesscox1775I can't wait!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Zimaya is a sub brand of Afnan.
Oh that’s great to know!!
Does Val have her own channel?
No- she has an instagram but no channel 😀
black friday I bought 6. 😂😭
💕
Can you go again over Orientica perfumes, please😢. There are so many of them now and I am not sure which one to choose. Prices went up on them too, so would love to hear your opinion before choosing.❤
