My 2 cents on your list: - Sehr: love it! To me it smells like Italian Confetti which are almonds covered with sugar, we use to give them to guests at weddings and other important events, can’t detect the suede note, for me it’s a 7/10 cause I can’t smell it on myself 😭; - Leen: not interested; - Her Confession: didn’t liked it, it’s so boring to my nose however I adore His Confession, so for me is a 2/10; - Teriaq Intense: thanks God it’s different from the OG! To me it smells like Khamrah with fruits, I prefer this to Khamrah, excellent performance on me, 10/10; - Angham: I have to try it 🤤, does it smell similar to Opulence of Dubai? 🤔; - Khair Confection: I like it but don’t love it, it’s quite boring on me, way better than Yara Candy for sure, packaging is beautiful tho, 6/10; - Black Cherry: I have to try it 🤤; - Fursan White: I’ve ordered a sample; - Musk Pour Amber: I ABSOLUTELY have to try it 🤤; - Musk Couture: not interested even if I loved your description; - Exotic Flowers: interesting scent, can’t stand the packaging so, only for that, it’s a no for me 😭; - Passion de Night: not interested; - Miraj: ordered yesterday, can’t wait to get it and try it 😫; - Sweet Paradise: need to try it; - Sweet Heaven Extreme: need to try it, does it smells similar to Teriaq Intense? 🤔. Never wrote a comment as long as this, I’m hating myself rn 😂
Hehehe my two cents on your scents 🤣First of all thank you for the long comment coz I really love sharing perfume interpretations ❤ - Sehr: Oh we have those here as well. Especially used in wedding here too. Tiny pouch giveaways with nuts and candy. This perfume is so weird. Everyone getting different notes in it. - Her Confession: I do agree that it is quite plain. I think its that mystikal note with lactones that gets me - Teriaq Intense: I was so scared going into it lol coz you know my experience with the OG - Angham: Not at all. It has that poshy vibe but think of it as a Vanilla with Lavender. More in the lines of Libre Intense but sweeter. - Khair Confection: Yea its quite plain to me as well but the child in me craves it lol - Exotic Flowers: They did that perfume dirty with that packaging. Justice for Exotic Flowers. - Miraj: I cannot wait to know what you think about Miraj Exclusif - Sweet Heaven Extreme: Very close the Angels share but that Cherry Liquor gets me every time. Redundant if you are sick of that DNA. You need to start reviewing perfumes hun ❤
My comfort channel!!!! I’d love perfume awards!! I’m already buying all your favorites because we like similar scents, but I’d love to have a list of all your favorites so I can know what’s actually good to buy
You are my beautiful hun! I am working on a separate favorites list for the coming videos ❤ I do have a few haul videos that I need to do first though ❤❤❤ Hopefully I will film them on time ❤
Omgg the colour combination soo unique 😮 pink and gray i never thought could look so elegant and cute but it's definitely youu ❤❤❤❤❤I'll try out tooo ❤ lobe you
Hehehe you are the sweetest. So I love contrast wear in winter. In summer I am mostly in light colors lol ❤ Greys with pinks, greens and browns with yellow, Blue with silver etc. I cant wait for you to try it out ❤ Love you moooooooore ❤❤❤
Lattafa Angham has turned out to be my best perfume this year. It lasts through my entire 12 hour shift at work. It projects so well for me, and I get compliments every single time I wear it. I appreciate that I can still smell as good at the end of my shift as I did at the beginning. It has become my signature scent and I do not ever want to be without it in my collection.
Yesss would love to see awards videos 😍❤️ ‘Lattafa is becoming tacky city’ had me cackling 🤣 But yeah I also really like the bottle of Sehr, even if it is over the top😆 Also love when you call out the additional notes which you can smell that are not actually mentioned in the fragrance notes. It’s super helpful❤ Mango fragrances have been really hit or miss for me lately but if I can find a decant of Leen, I’ll definitely try it! And I can’t wait to get my hands of Her Confession or Lactea Divina, whichever is easier to acquire 😆❤️
Hey beautiful Angel ❤ Hahahaaa I am glad I made you laugh but they keep getting worse by the day lol. I do adore the Sehr bottle as well ❤❤❤ I could not agree more with the Mango perfumes. While I love the note, it can be very challenging for me as well ❤ I think our noses are very similar like that. Leen is definitely not a safe blind buy. Lactea Divina and Her Confession both are equally awesome ❤❤❤
Oh yessss I will definitely make a video on fantasy notes, I am so excited as well! Saaaaame! When I heard Mystikal in Her Confession I was so intrigued.
Right?! I could not agree more my hun ❤ I am so glad that middle eastern perfume houses are finally getting the recognition they deserve and people getting a bang for their buck!
Thank you my hun ❤️ The lipliner is NYX Cold Brew (I always wear the same one). And the lippie is a Korean brand called DillyDilly in shade "Crush". Hope this helps ❤️
Hi Simin. I love tops ❤❤❤. It is so interesting, watching other scent enthusiasts' favourites gives me different perspective. We do not have to agree with everything, but I feel such an admiration when someone describes their feelings towards different scents. One of those people is you, of course. Thank you❤❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ First of all I thank you for not taking offense with any of the reviews I make. Perfumes can be so subjective and you said it s beautifully. Everyone scattered opinions make learning about perfumes so much more interesting ❤ Thank you for your kindness hun ❤ xo
❤❤❤ Love, love Sehr, Ophidian Black Cherry, and Teriaq Intense, lovely compilation, Simin 😊 I am so glad you mentioned the inability to fully smell milder fragrance if you are very accustomed to more traditional ME fragrance DNA's. I thought my nose was broken 😆 That does happen to me at times. ❤❤❤ Blessings and I don't know about you, but I am pretty excited about 2025, just around the corner 🎉 Here's to New Beginnings!
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤❤❤ I know right?! I also thought my nose was broken till Ali begged me to stop reapplying my perfumes lol. Also, weirdly the best place to test how long my perfumes last is my laundry room, when I put the clothes for wash 😆 Me tooooo!!! I am super excited to turn the page and step into the new year ❤ To new beginnings 🥂🎉 Happy Holiday in advance my hun ❤
@SiminShaikh Simin, I have a trick to share. An actual perfume designer shared this with me. "The Snap Test", this only works off clothing. Snap your garment while you are wearing it several times and inhale as you are doing it. Something about the movement of the oxygen mixing with your fragrance that usually helps momentarily overcome noseblindness. That way, you know if you need to re-apply or hold off.
Waiting for my order for black cherry! I agree with her confessions and could wear it daily! Do you think Lactea divina is another dupe for b bete? Thank you again beautiful lady Sim!
Hey my hun ❤ Pls pls lemme know what you think when you receive it. I am so excited for you. Pls dont forget to spray it out a little. Lactea Divina is an inspo for Blanche Bette but with an interesting twist. I had recently posted a review for it babe ❤
@ I received my black cherry and I agree with 10/10. I sometimes have difficulties picking up cherry notes but this one is there from the beginning and love it even more when the darker notes become more present and I prefer it over modest deux. I did watch your review of lactea, possibly had to take a call or interrupted and think I’ll have to get it too! I’ve watched many other reviewers and think our noses are more aligned in likenesses for sure! I obtained ghality awhile back and learning I love some of these notes I feared I would dislike but has set me on fire for middle eastern scents! I also received Angham, I love it after the dry down, becomes absolutely beautiful with that vanilla, I’m still learning how to distinguish specific notes and can see how lavender may come across masculine in fragrances. I’ve been wearing antique by lattafa recently and have received more compliments from this than any others, stranger yet I’m more anosmic to it than others, what can one do to make improvements on this? Also can you recommend an orange chocolate scent that smells like good chocolate candy 😊hope you have a terrific day dear lady Sim and happy for this scent journey!
Hi Simin 👋🏻!!! Great video. Love all of the suggestions. Could you do a video this coming year for the girlies that don’t like the typical floral or too sweet summer perfumes? It’s hard to find a good spring summer scent that fits the not too girlie girls.
Hey my hun ❤ Thank you gorgeous angel. Someone here suggested I make a tropical perfumes and Coconut perfumes list ❤ I think that will fit the bill for you. I will start working on it soon ❤
Hey my hun ❤️ I really need to try this one. The notes sound so intriguing ❤️Love me my pink pepper with orange blossom and it also has ginger wowwwww! ❤️❤️❤️I will get it soon my hun ❤️
I own and love rasasi ebhar. I've tried Burberry goddess in Sephora and I can't stand the lavender. I have not tried or purchased angham because of my dislike of Burberry goddess. Is angham really similar to ebhar?
Honestly angham and ebhar smell so much alike that it would be redundant to own both in my opinion. I can't choose which one I like more though since the differences are so small. Once I finish Angham I will replace it with ebhar. I will take turns swapping them lol@@brittanyb5293
Hey my hun ❤ Unfortunately, I don't find them alike at all babe. Ebhar is very apple pie vanilla with citruses and Angham is an aromatic Vanilla ❤ I wont be able to choose between the two even if I had a gun pointed to my head 😂
My favorite ME scents that I picked up this year are: Her confession Ophidian Black Cherry Shaghaf oud tonka Emir Vibrant Vetiver North stag quatre Nudo exotic Flowers Teriaq intense Gentle Gold Qissa Delicious Bayn al asrar
Such a great compilation Sim , I am tempted to try Pour Amber , but not sure I will enjoy it as much , once I got a sample from one brand which is called Barret (Athena) which is claimed to be 1:1 dupe for guidance,but I have mixed feelings about it , I find this scent profile a bit challenging 😊
Hey my hun ❤️ You are so right, these notes can be quite challenging to work with. Especially coz of the opening with the weird fruit mixed with the aromatics ❤ I have the Guidance sample, and Musk Pour Amber is the same DNA but not alike ❤️
Oh, my Angel Sis, you look sooo very beautiful, love this video and so many tempting perfumes , like Her Confession, Teriaq Intense, Miraj Exclusive , Passion De Night ( which I cannot see here yet) and so many more. But I will not be tempted right now. 😅 Too much to do before Christmas and too little time. We had a very warm day and such storm, I am sick of hearing the wind but Oz is experiencing a heat wave right now and I feel for the places with high 40s right now. I have been wearing Blueberry Musk as it somehow makes me feel cooler. Sending smoochies to Markus and purrs from our kitties, Sending so much love and light to you, my Angel sis ❤ Always yours, Tia ❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤ Sheesh we are on opposite end of the spectrum weather wise. It is getting quite cold here in The UAE slowly. You are the strongest, I would be a puddle of sweat if I was in Oz. Please be careful with the storms. I remember your stories from last year and it is a little scary. I know you have tons to do before Christmas. I wish I was there to lend you a helping hand ❤ Blueberry musk is a great choice. It has such a calming and cool vibe. I need to revisit that ❤ Love and light to you my sister and dear friend. Please give Sunti and Pushkin big hugsies ❤❤❤ Love & Light babe. Always yours, Sim ❤
@@SiminShaikh Hey my beautiful angel. I saw your photos of Dubai looking quite cold in those photos. I was in a puddle of sweat today, not so much heat, but humidity and such strong sunrays, ( our skies are so clear with no pollution so the sun is so much stronger here) and I was trying to put on new cotton sheets and the darn fitted sheet refused to fit and our mattress is wonderful but pretty heavy and thick. I then ( over achiever 🤣😂) decided to rotate that heavy beast of a mattress by myself ( I used to be pretty strong) & I was proud to say I did it, very SLOWLY and said to myself "Still got it" 😁😅 when I but when I put the fitted sheet on ( several tries) my back and neck went to pieces, well, not really but now I can hardly bent down. I will recover in this weather as the warmth is better than cold with aches and pains. I feel a sense of achievement but to the detriment of leaving so many other chores undone today. 😂 Tomorrow is wrapping Christmas Gifts day and it will be pretty warm so the sunroom may feel like a sauna 😆😂 but I know our kitties will still love being in there. Today was beautiful , just a perfect sea breeze. I still get confused about the seasons 😂as I told Gerry I was getting things ready for Easter... 😅😆. But I also decided to try and enjoy every bit of warmth I can since I disliked the cold in winter so much. I wore Sacrifice yesterday when I went to get some new glasses and everyone was asking me what I was wearing, it is a huge compliment getter but tomorrow will be Blueberry Musk day again. I think it has maturated even more and the dry down is now much more interesting but exactly like you said it has a calming and cooling vibe. ( I needed it for my eye check up as I had several surgeries years ago BUT all is well now thanks to the wonderful surgeons). You are such a kind and caring angel, you truly are. I wish you such a lovely cosy winter filled with purrs, love, harmony , great perfumes and all you wish for, my hun. Big hugsies to dear Markus🙀🐱 and purrs from our orange kitties 🐈😻😽 and so much love and light💛 to you, always , your Tia ❤🧡♥
Hi Sim......I just bought Lattafa Perfumes Khashabi Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 3.4 Ounce Lattafa Perfumes Khashabi Eau de Parfum Spray. It is truly unisex and comes in a beautiful palm silver bottle byh Lataffa. I blind bought it and it is wonderful. I think you should try it because you have liked a lot of unisex ones. I love your channel!
Oh my gorgeous hun ❤ That sounds amazing ❤ I just saw the notes lol. I will try and get my hands on it as soon as possible! You are a gem for thinking if I would like it or not. So much love your way Angel ❤ xo
Hi Sim, I have a request. If it interests you, could you do a video about Middle Eastern Coconut forward fragrances that can be worn in any climate? Or even just the best coconut forward Middle Eastern fragrances? Coconut is my favorite note but it's difficult to find coconut forward ME fragrances because testing them first is difficult. You could maybe even start a series (example - best Marshmallow forward fragrances, best caramel forward fragrances, best passion fruit/tropical fruit forward fragrances, etc., etc,) if it interests you, at all. XO's from Fairview Oregon USA 🩷
Hey my hun ❤ Absolutely. I think that is a brilliant idea. I myself have been loving coconut in my perfumes and am sure I have a few to make a decent compilation. Just allow me a wee bit of time to make this one for you my hun ❤ The series idea is also great. Makes sense to do categories as I have never done that on my channel before ❤ Thank you so much gorgeous for these idea. Love & Light always, Sim ❤ xo
Thank you, Simin. I've just ordered Musk Couture, since it's 15€ here. I adore earthy, petrichor perfumes ❤ when I hear "forest" I buy, and I've never been let down. I'm very curious about your opinion on YSL Elle. I've never tried Midnight Poison, but I love Elle. However, people say Midnight Poison is nighttime perfume. For me, Elle is definitely daytime and office friendly. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Hey my hun ❤ You got it at such a good price. Please do lemme know what you think about it ❤ I find myself gravitating towards earthy/ petrichor perfumes too. Even when it comes to shower gels etc. It just gives me a sense of calm. I do need to get my hand on Elle asap. But I can second Midnight Poison being a night perfume ❤
Hey my hun ❤ Thank you for trusting me with this decision. I will be careful to give her a good variety. 1. Hekayat Attar - Latte Abyed (Bianco Latte sorts) 2. Paris Corner - Lactea Divina (Blanche Bette sorts) 3. Rasasi Qasamat Ebhar - Beautiful Fresh Gourmand
Hey my friend ❤ To be very honest, I do not have the confidence with masculine fragrances but I can try. Can you please tell me the ones you would like me to review?
My beautiful Angel ❤ Some people quite like that one babe, so you might love it. Is there anyway to sample it? I tried revisiting it coz its much cooler now here in Dubai, but its still bothering me.
Hey my hun ❤ So the first ever perfume I bought from SA was Kashka, am trust me, it is as middle eastern as it gets lol. Honestly, it was a little challenging for me and I would not purchase it again. I will try the Rasheeqa for you though soon babe ❤
Hi, Sim! ❤ From your list, I'm only curious about Musk Couture and Musk Pour Amber, and maybe Khair Confection (probably because of packaging). I'm thankful that I'm not one to quickly jump into the trends, especially with perfumes. Otherwise, I'll end up literally broke. Also, I want to take time with my full bottle perfumes. Off topic again, I finally have a decant of Sotoor Seen. I think you're right about it being a Capricorn perfume. I hope I'll be able to buy the full bottle next year. ❤
Hey my Hun ❤ I am so happy that you are mindful of your purchases and enjoy your perfumes thoroughly before jumping on to the next one. To be honest I miss that but it is my job to review them as quickly as I can co everyone is always interested in different kinds of perfumes. I will however try and showcase the underdogs more often now ❤ I could not agree with Sotoor Seen more ❤
Patchouli is very tricky. Sometimes it can be the element that makes an incense like "three kings" sing (think old world cathedral). At other times it can smell like a cigarette shoppe (not great). I think if it is mostly Frank, Myrrh, and then like 5% patchouli that works. I do love the ancient smelling perfumes. I am waiting for the Khadlaj Le Fede Opera. I am tempted by Ophidian.
I sent Mohra to my sister who is actually an Explorer! She told me it is so interesting smelling. I cannot even be bothered by the mass produced western perfumes anymore. I do love one of the Santa Maria Novella perfumes and will always buy that one.
Hahaha I love this comment because I can totally relate to it ❤ Did you order the Noir one? Or the Rose? If you like a wine smelling powdery oud, you will love Black Cherry ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh Sim, I got both of them. 2 of the noir because I have come to trust you so completely. It was you who encouraged me to give Amethyst a chance. My first impression was that I did not love it. But then it settled, and became kind of an obsession. I think your nose is beyond cultivated. I like that you require a certain perfumer's genius before you will like something. Since ordering from Khadlaj is expensive and they aren't really well represented Down Under, I also bought the musk by Monsieur Iqbal. I figured if he is the founder, it might be worth while to have his signature creation. If its not precisely up my alley, I get the feeling that if I let it mature, it might be something that ages well.
Hello, gorgeous friend. Do you know what I love about your channel? So many of the girly girls that follow you and leave comments love the kind of fragrances that I love too!❤❤ Your channel is unique because of your knowledge and perspective. I think the girls that leave comments are really invested in getting to know Middle Eastern scents and aren't so much about FOMO'ing the latest TikTok trends. Its fabulous!❤😍 Have an absolutely beautiful day. All my love and support.❤❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ I could not agree more. It helps me from the filming bit till the videos are out online. I feel like I am talking and sharing my love of perfumes with friends ❤❤❤ And everyone is so kind and knowledgeable. I learn everyday from them ❤ My hun, thank you for all the support and love you give me. I know it is challenging to comment on every video but you still do ❤ Please know you have my love and respect always, Sim ❤
Hi Simin! Looking lovely as always. What a great list! I love Black Cherry, too. I wonder if it is similar to Duchessa from Gritti. 🤔. I have a sample somewhere...I am going to check that out, but have you heard any rumours like that through the fragrance grapevine? I own both Bayn Al Asrar and Musk Pour Amber. Nothing can dupe Guidance, but that's fine because I find it too heavy for me.😂 I prefer Pure Amber. It feels more complete, the performance is better, and I feel it's a bit smoother and of higher quality. Exotic Flowers was such a wonderful surprise! The bottle does not represent the fragrance at all. This is more feminine leaning than Initio's Narcotic Delight. Beautiful.
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Oooooh can you pls lemme know if it does smell alike when you find it pretty please? People were comparing it to the Kayali Burning Cherry and I think they are miles apart lol. I agree with the Guidance review. It was a bit underwhelming. maybe coz I was expecting something spectacular coz it was so hyped up. I am very happy with my fresher Musk Pour Amber ❤ (Cant afford the OG anyways lol). Right?! They did Exotic Flowers dirty by putting it into that bottle. Poor perfume is living in shame for now 😂 #justiceforexoticflowers 😂
I couldn’t stand the OG Teriaq, on my skin it was giving bug spray. But the intense version sounds sooo promising. Angham is going to fly off the shelves the minute it becomes available here I’m sure. Thank you so much for always mentioning that the Jasmine is not indolic. Appreciate your attention to detail so much Simin hon!! ❤️ Musk Couture sounds absolutely heavenly! I love the smell of petrichor. The note of Vetiver is hit or miss for me but the way you describe Musk Couture, I’m sure I’ll love it! 😍
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ I agree! Teriaq Intense is so much better ❤ My OG Teriaq is catching dust on the shelf lol. Hahaha 100%. Angham is sooooo anticipated right now. The same as Opulence of Dubai. The stock comes in and disappears for some reason. You are always welcome my hun. If I could, I would correct my lingo to the best of my abilities to explain the perfumes better. Oh yes I remember you told that vetiver can bother you sometimes. I love all earthy/ forest notes. Living in the desert, we crave it lol ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh I need to say this, I do prefer Athena over Angham. It fresher, more energizing and not as thick and dull as Angham. For some reason, Athena is two times cheaper in Poland than Angham? Weird. I am waiting Simin for Your review and I am curious of Your first impression. :)
Some people say Black Cherry is similar to Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry. Somehow Burning cherry to my nose smells like bournvita but with an added cherry note 😅 i have no idea why. I don’t mind it but I don’t love it either. But I do love your description of Ophidian Black Cherry. It sounds incredible and I’d love to try it. How similar would you say Lovefest Burning Cherry and Black Cherry are to each other?
Hey my hun ❤ Ok, when I get home, I will try my 10ml of Burning Cherry just to smell the bournvita Hahahaaaa 😆😆😆It is also not a love for me. Its nice but I never pick it up to wear it or even think about it. Black Cherry is veryyyyyy different. Not a dupe in my opinion. It smells like Wine, wine cork and powdery cherry with incense and oud. Just a beautiful goth perfume ❤❤❤
Simin, I need to try Musk Couture and Musk Pour Amber. I love musks. I didn't like Blanche Bete but Her Confession is my favorite. So happy I have a bottle now. I layer it with Afternoon Delight and other lactonic scents.
Hey hun! You are gonna love Musk Couture, it's absolutely divine ❤ Veryyyyy unique but pls beware that it is a super earthy perfume. Not musk dominant at all. Musk Pour amber is a softie though ❤ Pretty nutty floral musk ❤ I need to try out Afternoon Delight ❤
Hi darling!! I wanted to ask your opinion on Taskeen Láctea Divina, have you smelled it yet? ☺️ blind purchased a few days ago and I would love to hear your opinion about it
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ I have posted a review already for it. I think it is the video before this one ❤ Do lemme know what you think of Lactea Divina ❤❤❤
Athena by Maison Alhambra has me in an absolute choke hold right now. I'm almost through with my bottle after such a short time, which is not something that happens to me ever. I'd be so curious to hear your thoughts on it since you like Angham.
@ Actually Nudo and Forbidden Sugar was phenomenal, love from the first sniff and Nudo didn’t need much maceration as it was produced at the beginning of the year, Miraj is a very unique take on Jasmine, definitely smells rich , like Penhaligons scents , I think the incensy note is something that I struggle a little, but I think with time I will get to appreciate it . Thank you for all recommendations ❤️
Hey my hun ❤ Trust me its there. Even I get nose blind to it but Ali literally tells me to stop topping it off lol. Weirdly I can smell it when I put my clothes in the laundry.
Hi if anyone has been looking for her confession in the uk ..ive today found it on pre order from a site called soghart 😊 ive been searching for weeks and finally i have a bottle secured cant wait to receive it .. i love sehr . And confection is nice . Ive also got all the nudo collection. But let exotic flowers sit and after a few weeks its definitely got better . At first I found it quite weak . I had a great find ive got riffs Angelique extrait of vanilla. Its the really strong and a dupe for royal sugared pattchuli..cant imagine what this will become given time . Its cheap and im really impressed. Ive never tried the og ..but upon first spray i immediately bought a back up bottle.. miraj exclusive is really spot on dupe for bewiching yasmine its lovely. Leen is also a 10 out of 10 its a beautiful perfume. Its similar to jadore lor but nicer with that touch of mango .ans sweet paradise has also been back up bottle for me to it is amazing..has anyone tried fragrance world ambrose ? Its a dupe of geurlain cherry oud it is also really unique. And anyone looking for penhaligans halfetti cedar then fragrance world have a great one called historic cedar. Its really good much better than moyrah .
Hey my hun ❤ So sweet of you to let the girlies know. People have been anxiously waiting for Her Confessions to be available ❤ I could not agree more. Nudo Exotic Flower does need to mature. Mine is just right now. Riiffs has many new perfumes coming up which look promising. Miraj Exclusive is an obsession for me. Love it to bits ❤ I absolutely love you choices babe. You gave me convinced that I need Ambrose by FW, lol. I will get the Historic Cedar as well while I am at it. These underrated perfumes need to be bought forward ❤ Thanks for the very helpful comment babe ❤ xo
Omg I'm going to sound SOOO annoying but can you tell us your lipstick/lip combo here 😭😭 btw great video I hope at least half of these perfume would be brought to my country
Nooooo babe. You cannot be annoying even if you tried my Angel ❤ The lipliner is NYX Cold Brew (I always use the same one) and the lippie is from Dilly Dilly a Korean brand and the shade is "Crush"
Mujhe luxury smell wala perfume chahiye jiski smell bakhoor and powdery type ki ho aur jiski smell like a heavan bahut ccreamy type ki ho aur compliment mile
There's not likely to ever be a 1 to 1 dupe of Guidance. Amouage is one of the .0111 percent of perfumers who continues to create their fragrances with natural ingredients (absolutes, extractions, distillation, etc., etc.) The whole of perfumery, 99.9%, uses chemical compounds and synthetics. Which they've been using for decades but with IFRA and the rise of the allergen, naturals are becoming extremely rare. They're too volatile, expensive and it is highly difficult, as well as expensive, to attempt to ensure the natural ingredients were procured/sourced ethically, then there are over harvesting and sustainability concerns, not to mention shelf life is longer and batches are more consistent with synthetics/chemical compositions. It's just a little unlikely that there will be a spot on dupe but an "inspired by" is likely. I'd be surprised if Alexandria Fragrance doesn't have one, already! 😂
Hey my hun ❤ I learn so much for you. See I was not aware of Amouage's production methods. Respect to the brand for being so authentic when literally everyone is just thinking of how to make a little more money and lower production costs ❤ For some reason I feel like having a perfume detox week after reading your comment lol ❤❤❤ Thanks my hun for taking the time to share the insights ❤ I know so many people will learn so much ❤
I don't think khair confection reminds La Belle. To be honest, I ordered a sample of Guess Bella Vita that has cherry and tuberose..... it is more on that vibe, with the sweet of the tuberose.
Lily of the Valley is an actual flower with a very specific fragrance. It's definitely NOT a "fantasy scent" or not. Amber is an accord, resinous, warm and oriental. I wouldn't call that a fantasy note, either, considering it's been used in perfumers for about a century. Wouldn't a "fantasy note" would be cupcake, cashmere or sunshine?
So basically what this Perfume Technician friend of mine mentioned that for example Lily of the Valley has a perfume of its own. But it is too volatile or weak, so perfumers create an accord and call it "Lily of the Valley" and it gives us what we smell in modern day perfumes. The same with Amber. We can actually buy the amber in the UAE from the local markets but it barely smells of anything. But the sweet resinous smell we get in a perfume is an accord they create for us and not actually how the amber smells of. I am trying to get this friend to join me for the Fantasy Notes video with me ❤ Fingers crossed! I hope this helps ❤
WOW dear Sim, we truly have some scent preferences in common, I already have 6 of the fragrances you mention in this lovely video - Leen,🤩 Angham,💖 Her Confession😍😍😍 Black Ophidian Cherry 😍😍😍 Fursan White🥰and yes I do have Blooming Bliss🥰 and Passion de Night 💓-due to your " passionate " review💖and I'm waiting to receive Nude Exotic Flowers 💖💖💖- again I got it after your enthusiastic review and I 100% agree about the bottle😱- I also have ATHENA that I find slightly different from Angham , the opening being more lavender-ish and the drydown more vannillic, currently you can get ATHENA for 28 euro on ORIENTAL DREAM site. I'm very curious about MUSK COUTURE I love how you describe it and sooner or later I'm gonna get it😋and perhaps I will like Sweet Heaven Extreme more than Khamra that I got only 2 weeks ago in a good discount but I was hesitant about it as I do not like apple scent -nor raw nor even cooked😁- and I'm very picky on boozy-ness meaning it has to be a charming stylish background one in order to like it, and infact after some sprays ....I put the Khamra bottle to maturate hoping I will like it in the future😃may be the cherry - a scent that I do love- in Sweet Heaven Extreme will make the difference to me. And about cherries do you like 1505 Lattafa Pride La Collection d'Antiquites? I love it very much after some maturing time. One last word about MIRAJ, I'm ipositively mad of Miraj Absolue💝💝💝 I got it first before the Exclusif because I was intrigued by the notes and 💝💝💝to me it's a masterpiece💥💥💥Thank you again for another shining&inspiring video, all my blessings💫💫💫looking forward for your next one❣
Hey my hun ❤ I absolutely love your selections as well ❤ I love you have different types of fragrances. I am gonna make an assumption here and say you easily get bored of perfumes as well lol (like yours truly 😁). In UAE Athena is retailing for about 40USD and it s wayyyy overpriced. But I have full intentions of owning it hehehee 😁😁😁 Musk couture is veryyy unique and I've not smelled anything like it. But it is nit a safe blind buy (I hope I mentioned this in the video). If you already own one of the angels share perfumes then Sweet Paradise extreme is a little redundant unless you absolutely love that DNA. I need to get my hands on the Lattafa 1505. I might get a 20ml bottle that is currently available on their website ❤ Oooooh is the Miraj Absolue Unisex? You think I can pull it off? Coz I am super tempted now ❤❤❤ Thank you for engaging me in this brilliant conversation babe ❤ So much love & light your way ❤ xo
My 2 cents on your list:
- Sehr: love it! To me it smells like Italian Confetti which are almonds covered with sugar, we use to give them to guests at weddings and other important events, can’t detect the suede note, for me it’s a 7/10 cause I can’t smell it on myself 😭;
- Leen: not interested;
- Her Confession: didn’t liked it, it’s so boring to my nose however I adore His Confession, so for me is a 2/10;
- Teriaq Intense: thanks God it’s different from the OG! To me it smells like Khamrah with fruits, I prefer this to Khamrah, excellent performance on me, 10/10;
- Angham: I have to try it 🤤, does it smell similar to Opulence of Dubai? 🤔;
- Khair Confection: I like it but don’t love it, it’s quite boring on me, way better than Yara Candy for sure, packaging is beautiful tho, 6/10;
- Black Cherry: I have to try it 🤤;
- Fursan White: I’ve ordered a sample;
- Musk Pour Amber: I ABSOLUTELY have to try it 🤤;
- Musk Couture: not interested even if I loved your description;
- Exotic Flowers: interesting scent, can’t stand the packaging so, only for that, it’s a no for me 😭;
- Passion de Night: not interested;
- Miraj: ordered yesterday, can’t wait to get it and try it 😫;
- Sweet Paradise: need to try it;
- Sweet Heaven Extreme: need to try it, does it smells similar to Teriaq Intense? 🤔.
Never wrote a comment as long as this, I’m hating myself rn 😂
Hehehe my two cents on your scents 🤣First of all thank you for the long comment coz I really love sharing perfume interpretations ❤
- Sehr: Oh we have those here as well. Especially used in wedding here too. Tiny pouch giveaways with nuts and candy. This perfume is so weird. Everyone getting different notes in it.
- Her Confession: I do agree that it is quite plain. I think its that mystikal note with lactones that gets me
- Teriaq Intense: I was so scared going into it lol coz you know my experience with the OG
- Angham: Not at all. It has that poshy vibe but think of it as a Vanilla with Lavender. More in the lines of Libre Intense but sweeter.
- Khair Confection: Yea its quite plain to me as well but the child in me craves it lol
- Exotic Flowers: They did that perfume dirty with that packaging. Justice for Exotic Flowers.
- Miraj: I cannot wait to know what you think about Miraj Exclusif
- Sweet Heaven Extreme: Very close the Angels share but that Cherry Liquor gets me every time. Redundant if you are sick of that DNA.
You need to start reviewing perfumes hun ❤
My comfort channel!!!! I’d love perfume awards!! I’m already buying all your favorites because we like similar scents, but I’d love to have a list of all your favorites so I can know what’s actually good to buy
You are my beautiful hun! I am working on a separate favorites list for the coming videos ❤ I do have a few haul videos that I need to do first though ❤❤❤ Hopefully I will film them on time ❤
Sim, thanks for a great video - I love the way you describe the fragrances.
You are so welcome my gorgeous hun ❤
Omgg the colour combination soo unique 😮 pink and gray i never thought could look so elegant and cute but it's definitely youu ❤❤❤❤❤I'll try out tooo ❤ lobe you
Hehehe you are the sweetest. So I love contrast wear in winter. In summer I am mostly in light colors lol ❤ Greys with pinks, greens and browns with yellow, Blue with silver etc. I cant wait for you to try it out ❤ Love you moooooooore ❤❤❤
@SiminShaikh I'll definitely try out nd sounds sooo I treatingggg love you infinity ♾️
Lattafa Angham has turned out to be my best perfume this year. It lasts through my entire 12 hour shift at work. It projects so well for me, and I get compliments every single time I wear it. I appreciate that I can still smell as good at the end of my shift as I did at the beginning. It has become my signature scent and I do not ever want to be without it in my collection.
Yesss would love to see awards videos 😍❤️ ‘Lattafa is becoming tacky city’ had me cackling 🤣 But yeah I also really like the bottle of Sehr, even if it is over the top😆 Also love when you call out the additional notes which you can smell that are not actually mentioned in the fragrance notes. It’s super helpful❤
Mango fragrances have been really hit or miss for me lately but if I can find a decant of Leen, I’ll definitely try it! And I can’t wait to get my hands of Her Confession or Lactea Divina, whichever is easier to acquire 😆❤️
Hey beautiful Angel ❤
Hahahaaa I am glad I made you laugh but they keep getting worse by the day lol. I do adore the Sehr bottle as well ❤❤❤
I could not agree more with the Mango perfumes. While I love the note, it can be very challenging for me as well ❤ I think our noses are very similar like that. Leen is definitely not a safe blind buy.
Lactea Divina and Her Confession both are equally awesome ❤❤❤
Enjoyed your review Simin.😊
Thank you my hun ❤
Hi Simin, its always a joy to see you!! please make a video on fantasy notes, it sounds intriguing. I had the same doubt about the note mystical.
Oh yessss I will definitely make a video on fantasy notes, I am so excited as well! Saaaaame! When I heard Mystikal in Her Confession I was so intrigued.
Just STUNNING choice. Elegant and sophisticated scents for great price❤❤❤❤❤ . Your make up is so pretty
Right?! I could not agree more my hun ❤ I am so glad that middle eastern perfume houses are finally getting the recognition they deserve and people getting a bang for their buck!
Really enjoyed this video, thank you. Please share what lipstick you are wearing.
Thank you my hun ❤️
The lipliner is NYX Cold Brew (I always wear the same one). And the lippie is a Korean brand called DillyDilly in shade "Crush". Hope this helps ❤️
@ Thank you 😊
Your eyeshadow is blended so well. You look gorgeous mashaAallah 😍
Thank you beautiful hun! ❤❤❤ I literally just rub them together lol. I dont think I am skilled at all but I have huge lids which help ❤️
Such a beautiful lady, thank you for your honest reviews. I have purchased several, and am loving them!!
You are so sweet my hun! I am so glad you are enjoying them, also, I love seeing your feedback! 🥰 ❤
You have an excellent top 10 list. ❤
I am so glad you liked the list babe. My 10/10 lists are so long thats why I made this one just for the new babies ❤
Hey simin please update us about lattafa kingdom her !!!
Did it get better? Did the vanilla get prominent?
Hey my Hun ❤️
It is getting better every time I try it. I will make a maturation video soon for you ❤️
Muchísimas gracias por tus recomendaciones y trabajo!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷😘
Siempre serás bienvenido mi ángel. Les deseo una muy agradable semana por delante ❤
Hello Lovely Angel, thank you as always for the video! 🖤✨️ always a treat to watch these while I work
Thank you my angel, glad you enjoyed the video! I always love making these 10/10 compilations ❤ Challenging but oh so good ❤
Looking perfect with the earrings ❤
Thank you so much my love! I love getting to accessorize with my outfits for these videos 🥰
Hi Simin. I love tops ❤❤❤. It is so interesting, watching other scent enthusiasts' favourites gives me different perspective. We do not have to agree with everything, but I feel such an admiration when someone describes their feelings towards different scents. One of those people is you, of course. Thank you❤❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
First of all I thank you for not taking offense with any of the reviews I make. Perfumes can be so subjective and you said it s beautifully. Everyone scattered opinions make learning about perfumes so much more interesting ❤
Thank you for your kindness hun ❤ xo
Thank you beautiful Sim for your hard work on this ❤❤❤
You are so welcome my beautiful Hun! ❤ Trying to bring content that helps everyone make better purchase decisions ❤
Oh now I need a sample of Ophidian Black Cherry. I really enjoy wine/sangria scents. Sangria Oak is divine 🍷
Right? I'm dying to get my hands on it.❤❤
Babe you gonna love it if you like sangria perfumes ❤ So so good ❤
One of the most beautiful person ive ever seen. Effortlessly gorgeous and amazing ❤😊
My hun ❤ Your kindness radiates. Thank you for being such a beautiful soul ❤
@@SiminShaikh ❤️❤️😊🥰
Have recently ordered a few decants, looking forward to Teriaq Intense!
Oh I have a feeling you will love it. It is a very generally nice perfume ❤ I have not come across anyone who didnt like it yet ❤
❤❤❤ Love, love Sehr, Ophidian Black Cherry, and Teriaq Intense, lovely compilation, Simin 😊
I am so glad you mentioned the inability to fully smell milder fragrance if you are very accustomed to more traditional ME fragrance DNA's. I thought my nose was broken 😆 That does happen to me at times. ❤❤❤ Blessings and I don't know about you, but I am pretty excited about 2025, just around the corner 🎉 Here's to New Beginnings!
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤❤❤
I know right?! I also thought my nose was broken till Ali begged me to stop reapplying my perfumes lol. Also, weirdly the best place to test how long my perfumes last is my laundry room, when I put the clothes for wash 😆
Me tooooo!!! I am super excited to turn the page and step into the new year ❤
To new beginnings 🥂🎉 Happy Holiday in advance my hun ❤
@SiminShaikh Simin, I have a trick to share. An actual perfume designer shared this with me. "The Snap Test", this only works off clothing. Snap your garment while you are wearing it several times and inhale as you are doing it. Something about the movement of the oxygen mixing with your fragrance that usually helps momentarily overcome noseblindness. That way, you know if you need to re-apply or hold off.
hi simin! love this!! pls make a video on best Arabian musky, powdery perfumes
You are so sweet hun! I am working on that one! I have a few favorites to try before the video though. ❤
@@SiminShaikh thanks simin!! no rush, will be waiting for it hehe happy holidays
Waiting for my order for black cherry! I agree with her confessions and could wear it daily! Do you think Lactea divina is another dupe for b bete? Thank you again beautiful lady Sim!
Hey my hun ❤
Pls pls lemme know what you think when you receive it. I am so excited for you. Pls dont forget to spray it out a little.
Lactea Divina is an inspo for Blanche Bette but with an interesting twist. I had recently posted a review for it babe ❤
@ I received my black cherry and I agree with 10/10. I sometimes have difficulties picking up cherry notes but this one is there from the beginning and love it even more when the darker notes become more present and I prefer it over modest deux. I did watch your review of lactea, possibly had to take a call or interrupted and think I’ll have to get it too! I’ve watched many other reviewers and think our noses are more aligned in likenesses for sure! I obtained ghality awhile back and learning I love some of these notes I feared I would dislike but has set me on fire for middle eastern scents! I also received Angham, I love it after the dry down, becomes absolutely beautiful with that vanilla, I’m still learning how to distinguish specific notes and can see how lavender may come across masculine in fragrances. I’ve been wearing antique by lattafa recently and have received more compliments from this than any others, stranger yet I’m more anosmic to it than others, what can one do to make improvements on this? Also can you recommend an orange chocolate scent that smells like good chocolate candy 😊hope you have a terrific day dear lady Sim and happy for this scent journey!
Hello, Love from India. 🇮🇳 Will definitely purchase one for my mom's Birthday.
Hey my beautiful hun! You are so sweet! I hope your mom loves the one you choose. ❤
Hi Simin 👋🏻!!! Great video. Love all of the suggestions.
Could you do a video this coming year for the girlies that don’t like the typical floral or too sweet summer perfumes? It’s hard to find a good spring summer scent that fits the not too girlie girls.
Hey my hun ❤
Thank you gorgeous angel.
Someone here suggested I make a tropical perfumes and Coconut perfumes list ❤ I think that will fit the bill for you. I will start working on it soon ❤
Your description of Black Cherry and its comparison to a wine cork is spot on. It's a beautiful perfume.
Finally someone answered this question. Thank you my hun ❤ I feel at peace now lol ❤❤❤
Hi Simin 👋😊 Try Fall in Love Orange, I'd like to hear what you think about them ❤️
Hey my hun ❤️
I really need to try this one. The notes sound so intriguing ❤️Love me my pink pepper with orange blossom and it also has ginger wowwwww! ❤️❤️❤️I will get it soon my hun ❤️
Angham smells like Qasamat Ebhar by Rasasi. The difference is the apple note. Which one do you prefer from the two?
I own and love rasasi ebhar. I've tried Burberry goddess in Sephora and I can't stand the lavender. I have not tried or purchased angham because of my dislike of Burberry goddess. Is angham really similar to ebhar?
Honestly angham and ebhar smell so much alike that it would be redundant to own both in my opinion. I can't choose which one I like more though since the differences are so small. Once I finish Angham I will replace it with ebhar. I will take turns swapping them lol@@brittanyb5293
Ebhar has nothing to do with Angham.
Hey my hun ❤
Unfortunately, I don't find them alike at all babe. Ebhar is very apple pie vanilla with citruses and Angham is an aromatic Vanilla ❤
I wont be able to choose between the two even if I had a gun pointed to my head 😂
Love your video ❤❤❤
Thank you my beautiful hun ❤
Lovely review greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you so much my beautiful hun ❤
My favorite ME scents that I picked up this year are:
Her confession
Ophidian Black Cherry
Shaghaf oud tonka
Emir Vibrant Vetiver
North stag quatre
Nudo exotic Flowers
Teriaq intense
Gentle Gold
Qissa Delicious
Bayn al asrar
Oh my word! I love you list babe ❤ You are tempting me to get Vibrant Vetiver and North stag ❤❤❤ Our list is so similar so I trust your nose ❤
Love top 10 videos 🎉
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤ For me as well, coz these are my absolute favs to spray ❤
Such a great compilation Sim , I am tempted to try Pour Amber , but not sure I will enjoy it as much , once I got a sample from one brand which is called Barret (Athena) which is claimed to be 1:1 dupe for guidance,but I have mixed feelings about it , I find this scent profile a bit challenging 😊
Hey my hun ❤️
You are so right, these notes can be quite challenging to work with. Especially coz of the opening with the weird fruit mixed with the aromatics ❤ I have the Guidance sample, and Musk Pour Amber is the same DNA but not alike ❤️
@ so I actually might like it :)
Oh, my Angel Sis, you look sooo very beautiful, love this video and so many tempting perfumes , like Her Confession, Teriaq Intense, Miraj Exclusive , Passion De Night ( which I cannot see here yet) and so many more. But I will not be tempted right now. 😅
Too much to do before Christmas and too little time.
We had a very warm day and such storm, I am sick of hearing the wind but Oz is experiencing a heat wave right now and I feel for the places with high 40s right now.
I have been wearing Blueberry Musk as it somehow makes me feel cooler.
Sending smoochies to Markus and purrs from our kitties, Sending so much love and light to you, my Angel sis ❤
Always yours, Tia ❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤
Sheesh we are on opposite end of the spectrum weather wise. It is getting quite cold here in The UAE slowly. You are the strongest, I would be a puddle of sweat if I was in Oz. Please be careful with the storms. I remember your stories from last year and it is a little scary.
I know you have tons to do before Christmas. I wish I was there to lend you a helping hand ❤
Blueberry musk is a great choice. It has such a calming and cool vibe. I need to revisit that ❤
Love and light to you my sister and dear friend.
Please give Sunti and Pushkin big hugsies ❤❤❤
Love & Light babe.
Always yours, Sim ❤
@@SiminShaikh Hey my beautiful angel. I saw your photos of Dubai looking quite cold in those photos.
I was in a puddle of sweat today, not so much heat, but humidity and such strong sunrays, ( our skies are so clear with no pollution so the sun is so much stronger here) and I was trying to put on new cotton sheets and the darn fitted sheet refused to fit and our mattress is wonderful but pretty heavy and thick. I then ( over achiever 🤣😂) decided to rotate that heavy beast of a mattress by myself ( I used to be pretty strong) & I was proud to say I did it, very SLOWLY and said to myself "Still got it" 😁😅 when I but when I put the fitted sheet on ( several tries) my back and neck went to pieces, well, not really but now I can hardly bent down. I will recover in this weather as the warmth is better than cold with aches and pains. I feel a sense of achievement but to the detriment of leaving so many other chores undone today. 😂
Tomorrow is wrapping Christmas Gifts day and it will be pretty warm so the sunroom may feel like a sauna 😆😂 but I know our kitties will still love being in there. Today was beautiful , just a perfect sea breeze. I still get confused about the seasons 😂as I told Gerry I was getting things ready for Easter... 😅😆. But I also decided to try and enjoy every bit of warmth I can since I disliked the cold in winter so much.
I wore Sacrifice yesterday when I went to get some new glasses and everyone was asking me what I was wearing, it is a huge compliment getter but tomorrow will be Blueberry Musk day again. I think it has maturated even more and the dry down is now much more interesting but exactly like you said it has a calming and cooling vibe. ( I needed it for my eye check up as I had several surgeries years ago BUT all is well now thanks to the wonderful surgeons).
You are such a kind and caring angel, you truly are.
I wish you such a lovely cosy winter filled with purrs, love, harmony , great perfumes and all you wish for, my hun.
Big hugsies to dear Markus🙀🐱 and purrs from our orange kitties 🐈😻😽 and so much love and light💛 to you, always , your Tia
❤🧡♥
Hi Sim......I just bought Lattafa Perfumes Khashabi Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 3.4 Ounce
Lattafa
Perfumes Khashabi Eau de Parfum Spray. It is truly unisex and comes in a beautiful palm silver bottle byh Lataffa. I blind bought it and it is wonderful. I think you should try it because you have liked a lot of unisex ones. I love your channel!
Oh my gorgeous hun ❤
That sounds amazing ❤ I just saw the notes lol. I will try and get my hands on it as soon as possible! You are a gem for thinking if I would like it or not. So much love your way Angel ❤ xo
Hi Sim, I have a request. If it interests you, could you do a video about Middle Eastern Coconut forward fragrances that can be worn in any climate?
Or even just the best coconut forward Middle Eastern fragrances?
Coconut is my favorite note but it's difficult to find coconut forward ME fragrances because testing them first is difficult.
You could maybe even start a series (example - best Marshmallow forward fragrances, best caramel forward fragrances, best passion fruit/tropical fruit forward fragrances, etc., etc,) if it interests you, at all.
XO's from Fairview Oregon USA 🩷
Hey my hun ❤
Absolutely. I think that is a brilliant idea. I myself have been loving coconut in my perfumes and am sure I have a few to make a decent compilation.
Just allow me a wee bit of time to make this one for you my hun ❤
The series idea is also great. Makes sense to do categories as I have never done that on my channel before ❤
Thank you so much gorgeous for these idea.
Love & Light always, Sim ❤ xo
Thank you for the video Simin. Do you know of any dupes to Tom Ford Tubereuse Nue?
Hey my hun ❤
You are most welcome. I will try my best to find you one ❤
Thank you, Simin. I've just ordered Musk Couture, since it's 15€ here. I adore earthy, petrichor perfumes ❤ when I hear "forest" I buy, and I've never been let down.
I'm very curious about your opinion on YSL Elle. I've never tried Midnight Poison, but I love Elle. However, people say Midnight Poison is nighttime perfume. For me, Elle is definitely daytime and office friendly. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Hey my hun ❤
You got it at such a good price. Please do lemme know what you think about it ❤ I find myself gravitating towards earthy/ petrichor perfumes too. Even when it comes to shower gels etc. It just gives me a sense of calm.
I do need to get my hand on Elle asap. But I can second Midnight Poison being a night perfume ❤
Hi ma'am, could you please recommend the top 3 vanilla perfumes for my 18yr old daughter as she loves vanilla perfumes
Hey my hun ❤
Thank you for trusting me with this decision. I will be careful to give her a good variety.
1. Hekayat Attar - Latte Abyed (Bianco Latte sorts)
2. Paris Corner - Lactea Divina (Blanche Bette sorts)
3. Rasasi Qasamat Ebhar - Beautiful Fresh Gourmand
@SiminShaikh Thank you ❤️.. Really appreciate your thoughtful recommendations.... keep up the great work... God bless.
I love your videos Sim❤. Would you consider making a similar list for men’s perfumes?
Hey my friend ❤
To be very honest, I do not have the confidence with masculine fragrances but I can try. Can you please tell me the ones you would like me to review?
I Simin the beautiful. I didn't buy Teriaq because you didn't like it. I will get Teriaq Intense when the price goes down.
My beautiful Angel ❤
Some people quite like that one babe, so you might love it. Is there anyway to sample it? I tried revisiting it coz its much cooler now here in Dubai, but its still bothering me.
I love your review videos. Can you please do a review on swiss arabian rasheeqa and kashka as well ???
Hey my hun ❤
So the first ever perfume I bought from SA was Kashka, am trust me, it is as middle eastern as it gets lol. Honestly, it was a little challenging for me and I would not purchase it again. I will try the Rasheeqa for you though soon babe ❤
Hi, Sim! ❤
From your list, I'm only curious about Musk Couture and Musk Pour Amber, and maybe Khair Confection (probably because of packaging). I'm thankful that I'm not one to quickly jump into the trends, especially with perfumes. Otherwise, I'll end up literally broke. Also, I want to take time with my full bottle perfumes.
Off topic again, I finally have a decant of Sotoor Seen. I think you're right about it being a Capricorn perfume. I hope I'll be able to buy the full bottle next year. ❤
Hey my Hun ❤
I am so happy that you are mindful of your purchases and enjoy your perfumes thoroughly before jumping on to the next one. To be honest I miss that but it is my job to review them as quickly as I can co everyone is always interested in different kinds of perfumes. I will however try and showcase the underdogs more often now ❤
I could not agree with Sotoor Seen more ❤
Patchouli is very tricky. Sometimes it can be the element that makes an incense like "three kings" sing (think old world cathedral). At other times it can smell like a cigarette shoppe (not great). I think if it is mostly Frank, Myrrh, and then like 5% patchouli that works. I do love the ancient smelling perfumes. I am waiting for the Khadlaj Le Fede Opera. I am tempted by Ophidian.
I sent Mohra to my sister who is actually an Explorer! She told me it is so interesting smelling. I cannot even be bothered by the mass produced western perfumes anymore. I do love one of the Santa Maria Novella perfumes and will always buy that one.
Hahaha I love this comment because I can totally relate to it ❤
Did you order the Noir one? Or the Rose?
If you like a wine smelling powdery oud, you will love Black Cherry ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh Sim, I got both of them. 2 of the noir because I have come to trust you so completely. It was you who encouraged me to give Amethyst a chance. My first impression was that I did not love it. But then it settled, and became kind of an obsession. I think your nose is beyond cultivated. I like that you require a certain perfumer's genius before you will like something. Since ordering from Khadlaj is expensive and they aren't really well represented Down Under, I also bought the musk by Monsieur Iqbal. I figured if he is the founder, it might be worth while to have his signature creation. If its not precisely up my alley, I get the feeling that if I let it mature, it might be something that ages well.
Hello, gorgeous friend. Do you know what I love about your channel? So many of the girly girls that follow you and leave comments love the kind of fragrances that I love too!❤❤
Your channel is unique because of your knowledge and perspective. I think the girls that leave comments are really invested in getting to know Middle Eastern scents and aren't so much about FOMO'ing the latest TikTok trends. Its fabulous!❤😍
Have an absolutely beautiful day. All my love and support.❤❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
I could not agree more.
It helps me from the filming bit till the videos are out online. I feel like I am talking and sharing my love of perfumes with friends ❤❤❤ And everyone is so kind and knowledgeable. I learn everyday from them ❤
My hun, thank you for all the support and love you give me. I know it is challenging to comment on every video but you still do ❤
Please know you have my love and respect always, Sim ❤
Sim I love your videos thank u for bringing me joy ❤🎉 best wishes for 2025
My beautiful hun ❤
Thank you sooooo much ❤❤❤ You guys bring me joy on daily basis ❤ Here is t an awesome 2025 for all of us ❤❤❤
Hi Simin! Looking lovely as always. What a great list! I love Black Cherry, too. I wonder if it is similar to Duchessa from Gritti. 🤔. I have a sample somewhere...I am going to check that out, but have you heard any rumours like that through the fragrance grapevine? I own both Bayn Al Asrar and Musk Pour Amber. Nothing can dupe Guidance, but that's fine because I find it too heavy for me.😂 I prefer Pure Amber. It feels more complete, the performance is better, and I feel it's a bit smoother and of higher quality. Exotic Flowers was such a wonderful surprise! The bottle does not represent the fragrance at all. This is more feminine leaning than Initio's Narcotic Delight. Beautiful.
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Oooooh can you pls lemme know if it does smell alike when you find it pretty please? People were comparing it to the Kayali Burning Cherry and I think they are miles apart lol.
I agree with the Guidance review. It was a bit underwhelming. maybe coz I was expecting something spectacular coz it was so hyped up. I am very happy with my fresher Musk Pour Amber ❤ (Cant afford the OG anyways lol).
Right?! They did Exotic Flowers dirty by putting it into that bottle. Poor perfume is living in shame for now 😂 #justiceforexoticflowers 😂
Hey love ❤ are thz incence and oud any strong or major notes in miraj exclusif?
Hey my hun ❤
Yes babe. Think of equal parts Jasmine, Qahwa, Oud. The incense is mild though.
I couldn’t stand the OG Teriaq, on my skin it was giving bug spray. But the intense version sounds sooo promising. Angham is going to fly off the shelves the minute it becomes available here I’m sure. Thank you so much for always mentioning that the Jasmine is not indolic. Appreciate your attention to detail so much Simin hon!! ❤️
Musk Couture sounds absolutely heavenly! I love the smell of petrichor. The note of Vetiver is hit or miss for me but the way you describe Musk Couture, I’m sure I’ll love it! 😍
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
I agree! Teriaq Intense is so much better ❤ My OG Teriaq is catching dust on the shelf lol.
Hahaha 100%. Angham is sooooo anticipated right now. The same as Opulence of Dubai. The stock comes in and disappears for some reason. You are always welcome my hun. If I could, I would correct my lingo to the best of my abilities to explain the perfumes better.
Oh yes I remember you told that vetiver can bother you sometimes. I love all earthy/ forest notes. Living in the desert, we crave it lol ❤❤❤
For the Midnight Poison substitutes, have You tried Perles de Lalique?
Hey my hun ❤
Wow I completely forgot about that one. I will try and get it during sale my hun ❤ Thanks for reminding me ❤
Btw I am in love with Angham, and waiting for Athena. Such comforting everyday scent!
OMG! I cannot wait to order my Athena ❤ Its too pricey currently over here in the UAE :(
@@SiminShaikh I need to say this, I do prefer Athena over Angham. It fresher, more energizing and not as thick and dull as Angham. For some reason, Athena is two times cheaper in Poland than Angham? Weird. I am waiting Simin for Your review and I am curious of Your first impression. :)
One video on expensive perfume dupes please 🎉
I am on it my beautiful hun! I am working on some dupe reviews as we speak. Stay tuned! ❤
Some people say Black Cherry is similar to Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry. Somehow Burning cherry to my nose smells like bournvita but with an added cherry note 😅 i have no idea why. I don’t mind it but I don’t love it either. But I do love your description of Ophidian Black Cherry. It sounds incredible and I’d love to try it. How similar would you say Lovefest Burning Cherry and Black Cherry are to each other?
Hey my hun ❤
Ok, when I get home, I will try my 10ml of Burning Cherry just to smell the bournvita Hahahaaaa 😆😆😆It is also not a love for me. Its nice but I never pick it up to wear it or even think about it.
Black Cherry is veryyyyyy different. Not a dupe in my opinion. It smells like Wine, wine cork and powdery cherry with incense and oud. Just a beautiful goth perfume ❤❤❤
Grazie x la traduzione in italiano🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🔝
Sei sempre il benvenuto, tesoro mio. Yiutube ha finalmente lanciato il doppiaggio automatico per me yayyyy ❤️
Simin, I need to try Musk Couture and Musk Pour Amber. I love musks. I didn't like Blanche Bete but Her Confession is my favorite. So happy I have a bottle now. I layer it with Afternoon Delight and other lactonic scents.
Hey hun! You are gonna love Musk Couture, it's absolutely divine ❤ Veryyyyy unique but pls beware that it is a super earthy perfume. Not musk dominant at all. Musk Pour amber is a softie though ❤ Pretty nutty floral musk ❤ I need to try out Afternoon Delight ❤
I’ve been trying to get the sweet paradise, no one has it in the USA. I love how JO Malone Scarlett poppy smells
Hey my hun❤️ It should be on amazon but might be out of stock. Did I add a link for it in the description? Coz i recently saw in it.
Hi darling!! I wanted to ask your opinion on Taskeen Láctea Divina, have you smelled it yet? ☺️ blind purchased a few days ago and I would love to hear your opinion about it
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
I have posted a review already for it. I think it is the video before this one ❤ Do lemme know what you think of Lactea Divina ❤❤❤
Athena by Maison Alhambra has me in an absolute choke hold right now. I'm almost through with my bottle after such a short time, which is not something that happens to me ever. I'd be so curious to hear your thoughts on it since you like Angham.
Hey my hun ❤
Oh yes 100% I am planning on getting the Athena soon ❤ I just have a feeling I will like it since I am head over heels for angham ❤
Does her confession smell coconutty? Because sometimes coconut in perfume can smell cheap.
Not at all babe. It smells more like a milky floral perfume ❤
And I am waiting for my delivery of Nudo,Miraj and Forbidden sugar , can’t wait to smell it :)
You are going to love all three of those hun! 🥰Pls lemme know what you think of them ❤️ Nudo will need a little maturing time though.
@ Actually Nudo and Forbidden Sugar was phenomenal, love from the first sniff and Nudo didn’t need much maceration as it was produced at the beginning of the year, Miraj is a very unique take on Jasmine, definitely smells rich , like Penhaligons scents , I think the incensy note is something that I struggle a little, but I think with time I will get to appreciate it . Thank you for all recommendations ❤️
🎉🎉🎉está traducido!!! Es fabuloso!gracias!!!😊
Jejeje, sí, cariño. Edito mis subtítulos casi a la perfección para que Google pueda traducirlos mejor en subtítulos ❤
I got Sweet heaven not Extreme it is nice but is very light.
Hey my hun ❤
Trust me its there. Even I get nose blind to it but Ali literally tells me to stop topping it off lol. Weirdly I can smell it when I put my clothes in the laundry.
Hi, could you please review rasasi
I love Ophidian black cherry but it has 0 longevity and projection.I can't smell it after 30 minutos and I'm an oversprayer
That is so weird. I do top off mine a lot but it lasts quite well. Try and leave it to mature hun. Spraying out every few days or so ❤
@@SiminShaikh gracias Simin por tu respuesta
Hi if anyone has been looking for her confession in the uk ..ive today found it on pre order from a site called soghart 😊 ive been searching for weeks and finally i have a bottle secured cant wait to receive it .. i love sehr . And confection is nice . Ive also got all the nudo collection. But let exotic flowers sit and after a few weeks its definitely got better . At first I found it quite weak . I had a great find ive got riffs Angelique extrait of vanilla. Its the really strong and a dupe for royal sugared pattchuli..cant imagine what this will become given time . Its cheap and im really impressed. Ive never tried the og ..but upon first spray i immediately bought a back up bottle.. miraj exclusive is really spot on dupe for bewiching yasmine its lovely. Leen is also a 10 out of 10 its a beautiful perfume. Its similar to jadore lor but nicer with that touch of mango .ans sweet paradise has also been back up bottle for me to it is amazing..has anyone tried fragrance world ambrose ? Its a dupe of geurlain cherry oud it is also really unique. And anyone looking for penhaligans halfetti cedar then fragrance world have a great one called historic cedar. Its really good much better than moyrah .
Hey my hun ❤
So sweet of you to let the girlies know. People have been anxiously waiting for Her Confessions to be available ❤
I could not agree more. Nudo Exotic Flower does need to mature. Mine is just right now.
Riiffs has many new perfumes coming up which look promising.
Miraj Exclusive is an obsession for me. Love it to bits ❤
I absolutely love you choices babe. You gave me convinced that I need Ambrose by FW, lol. I will get the Historic Cedar as well while I am at it. These underrated perfumes need to be bought forward ❤
Thanks for the very helpful comment babe ❤ xo
Would love to bring my mage self to the doctor's office!
Hahahaa you and me sis! You and me both ❤❤❤
Omg I'm going to sound SOOO annoying but can you tell us your lipstick/lip combo here 😭😭 btw great video I hope at least half of these perfume would be brought to my country
Nooooo babe. You cannot be annoying even if you tried my Angel ❤
The lipliner is NYX Cold Brew (I always use the same one) and the lippie is from Dilly Dilly a Korean brand and the shade is "Crush"
Wow... In Europe Angham is very expensive and Athena is cheap!
Hahahaa exactly the other way round here. I still need to get the Athena fir a side by side comparison :(
Mujhe luxury smell wala perfume chahiye jiski smell bakhoor and powdery type ki ho aur jiski smell like a heavan bahut ccreamy type ki ho aur compliment mile
There's not likely to ever be a 1 to 1 dupe of Guidance.
Amouage is one of the .0111 percent of perfumers who continues to create their fragrances with natural ingredients (absolutes, extractions, distillation, etc., etc.)
The whole of perfumery, 99.9%, uses chemical compounds and synthetics. Which they've been using for decades but with IFRA and the rise of the allergen, naturals are becoming extremely rare. They're too volatile, expensive and it is highly difficult, as well as expensive, to attempt to ensure the natural ingredients were procured/sourced ethically, then there are over harvesting and sustainability concerns, not to mention shelf life is longer and batches are more consistent with synthetics/chemical compositions.
It's just a little unlikely that there will be a spot on dupe but an "inspired by" is likely.
I'd be surprised if Alexandria Fragrance doesn't have one, already! 😂
Hey my hun ❤
I learn so much for you. See I was not aware of Amouage's production methods. Respect to the brand for being so authentic when literally everyone is just thinking of how to make a little more money and lower production costs ❤
For some reason I feel like having a perfume detox week after reading your comment lol ❤❤❤
Thanks my hun for taking the time to share the insights ❤ I know so many people will learn so much ❤
I don't think khair confection reminds La Belle. To be honest, I ordered a sample of Guess Bella Vita that has cherry and tuberose..... it is more on that vibe, with the sweet of the tuberose.
I have not tried that one. I am interested in smelling it now though! I am still looking for a good Tuberose scent ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤️
not all are available in the UK
Hey beautiful. I hope one by one all ME brand are available for you at a decent price ❤
Lily of the Valley is an actual flower with a very specific fragrance. It's definitely NOT a "fantasy scent" or not.
Amber is an accord, resinous, warm and oriental. I wouldn't call that a fantasy note, either, considering it's been used in perfumers for about a century.
Wouldn't a "fantasy note" would be cupcake, cashmere or sunshine?
So basically what this Perfume Technician friend of mine mentioned that for example Lily of the Valley has a perfume of its own. But it is too volatile or weak, so perfumers create an accord and call it "Lily of the Valley" and it gives us what we smell in modern day perfumes. The same with Amber. We can actually buy the amber in the UAE from the local markets but it barely smells of anything. But the sweet resinous smell we get in a perfume is an accord they create for us and not actually how the amber smells of. I am trying to get this friend to join me for the Fantasy Notes video with me ❤ Fingers crossed!
I hope this helps ❤
Mam u have lots of perfume can u give me some as gift away and I'm big fan or ur channel
WOW dear Sim, we truly have some scent preferences in common, I already have 6 of the fragrances you mention in this lovely video - Leen,🤩 Angham,💖 Her Confession😍😍😍 Black Ophidian Cherry 😍😍😍 Fursan White🥰and yes I do have Blooming Bliss🥰 and Passion de Night 💓-due to your " passionate " review💖and I'm waiting to receive Nude Exotic Flowers 💖💖💖- again I got it after your enthusiastic review and I 100% agree about the bottle😱- I also have ATHENA that I find slightly different from Angham , the opening being more lavender-ish and the drydown more vannillic, currently you can get ATHENA for 28 euro on ORIENTAL DREAM site. I'm very curious about MUSK COUTURE I love how you describe it and sooner or later I'm gonna get it😋and perhaps I will like Sweet Heaven Extreme more than Khamra that I got only 2 weeks ago in a good discount but I was hesitant about it as I do not like apple scent -nor raw nor even cooked😁- and I'm very picky on boozy-ness meaning it has to be a charming stylish background one in order to like it, and infact after some sprays ....I put the Khamra bottle to maturate hoping I will like it in the future😃may be the cherry - a scent that I do love- in Sweet Heaven Extreme will make the difference to me. And about cherries do you like 1505 Lattafa Pride La Collection d'Antiquites? I love it very much after some maturing time. One last word about MIRAJ, I'm ipositively mad of Miraj Absolue💝💝💝 I got it first before the Exclusif because I was intrigued by the notes and 💝💝💝to me it's a masterpiece💥💥💥Thank you again for another shining&inspiring video, all my blessings💫💫💫looking forward for your next one❣
Hey my hun ❤
I absolutely love your selections as well ❤ I love you have different types of fragrances. I am gonna make an assumption here and say you easily get bored of perfumes as well lol (like yours truly 😁).
In UAE Athena is retailing for about 40USD and it s wayyyy overpriced. But I have full intentions of owning it hehehee 😁😁😁
Musk couture is veryyy unique and I've not smelled anything like it. But it is nit a safe blind buy (I hope I mentioned this in the video).
If you already own one of the angels share perfumes then Sweet Paradise extreme is a little redundant unless you absolutely love that DNA.
I need to get my hands on the Lattafa 1505. I might get a 20ml bottle that is currently available on their website ❤
Oooooh is the Miraj Absolue Unisex? You think I can pull it off? Coz I am super tempted now ❤❤❤
Thank you for engaging me in this brilliant conversation babe ❤
So much love & light your way ❤ xo
I’ve been trying to get the sweet paradise, no one has it in the USA. I love how JO Malone Scarlett poppy smells
Hey my hun❤️ It should be on amazon but might be out of stock. Did I add a link for it in the description? Coz i recently saw in it.
