    Great video, thank you as always. I bought Super Crush early this year (23). It seemed authentic but was so weak it was like bottled water with a drop of fragrance added, which makes me think Paris Corner might have some quality control issues (I also had performance issues with Vibrant Vetiver). To make things worse I then bought Instant Crush and despite it being legitimate its performance was even worse.

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  7 місяців тому

      Thank you for watching dear! 🌹❤️ Vibrant Vetiver indeed doesn't have the best performance, but Super Crush and Instant Crush are fragrances that pack a punch, perhaps try to give your nose time and see if anything changes in the next few months. Have you been recently cold? Let me know if they get better. 💫

    An aside: Loredana, today I wore the BKR540 oil from Abul Alamin Attar with Minuit et Demi. I applied the attar at 700 am and when I arrived to work at 800 am, I was told I left a scent trail from about 15 meters! I did use about 10-12 little dots of oil with my finger :) as a blotter. What a beautiful recommendation, thank you! Ciao, Loredana.

If you have the possibility to test Magic Oud in Kalimath it would be great, the opening is a tad harsh but the dry down is beautiful! Reminds me of Golden Sand by Al Rehab a bit.

    Marin - the way you describe - is exactly what I don't want from a fragrance. A generic fruity fragrance... is exactly what I don't want. Unless it has something special or even interesting in the base or something.
    I swear you have to try King Bharara. It is a Unisex fruity fragrance, that is similar to Xerjoff Erba Pura, but there's a touch of oud in it. And I'm not big on oud at all but this fragrance is ADDICTIVE and so beautiful! 🥰 would love to see what you think of it. It's also pretty beast-mode too 😏😏

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  8 місяців тому

      Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere in Romania, it's not available here. Oud and the DNA of Erba Pura sounds amazing! ✨️ Have you tried Jasmine Wisp by Rasasi? Do you find it similar to the one you recommended? So far from all the fragrances I've tried in this scent family Jasmine Wisp and Little Hearts for are my favourites.
      Thank you for watching dear! 🌹❤️

      @@AFragrantGlance I have not tried Jasmine Wisp yet. I was looking at buying but because I already have my favorite EP dna I was wondering if it would be a waste or not? Maybe I can find a sample somewhere. I am really interested! I ended up getting a Xerjoff EP sample and was so surprised by how much I disliked how they did the fruits in it. King B is so much better. Not sure if it was meant to be a dupe really but def in the same family. I wish I could send you some samples! I would hook you up. Not sure what shipping would be or if you would have to pay duties & taxes tho??

    Hi there beautiful,,, can you recommend a good dupe for Resala, sehr al Sheila. Also any good affordable middle eastern cherry 🍒 dominant fragrance?

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  10 місяців тому

      Hi dear, thank you for watching! ❤️🌹 For an affordable cherry scent I have two recommendations depending what you enjoy in general, if you want something in the vibe of Lost Cherry then Boozy Cherry by Paris Corner is a beautiful option, smells like cherry compot with almonds, quite simplistic but works amazingg for layering. If you want more of a decadent cherry scent look up Kaheela Lux by Paris Corner (I have reviews for both) this is their take on Invite Only Amber by Kayali but with added cherry, it's so beautiful! Sehr al Sheila I haven't smelled unfortunately, but if you want something similar to Resala to my nose Shaghaf Oud is pretty very similar (to me Resala, Shaghaf Oud, Riwayat al Oud and Oud Bouquet from Lancome have a very similar vibe). Oh what a shame it didn't last on your skin, the L'Interdit line used to have such great performance! 🌠

    • @AFragrantGlance
      @AFragrantGlance  6 місяців тому

      I can sense some similarities between them however to me they're still different, Oud Mood might be a bit more similar. When I first sampled Ser al Malika I didn't like it at all but it got better with time, better look for a sample first if you have the chance, I still prefer Sheikh al Shuyukh Luxe & Shaghaf Oud in that scent family. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️

    I was very curious about the last one, but I was hoping that it will smell like coffee, I don’t know why. 😅 I already have Lattafa Lahdath that is similar to Mancera Roses Vanille, so I don’t think I will buy it. Maybe I will look for a sample of it. Thank you, my beautiful. ❤❤❤

      @AFragrantGlance  11 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for watching my dear🌹❤🤗🤗 To me the coffe doesn't shine as much, if it would've shined more it would've been be a tad more unique. Better look for a sample of it to test it cause if you already have an inspiration of Roses Vanille it might be redundant to have both even though the scent itself it very nice.🌸
