    Thanks again. For gourmands I’d recommend trying Lolitaland - it’s truly addictive I find, with orange/peach bellini top notes. It reminds me of a bakery in a fairy tale. I’d love to try Afnan Rare Tiffany but a couple of reviewers in Fragrantica swear it’s changed.
    I can also add my voice to recommending Amber Oud Tobacco edition for layering: the dried fruits in it are so beautiful and it will stay on for day - clothes: forever!
    I just managed to get hold of Junoon Oud - first chance in my country - and bought it for my daughter for Christmas. It sounds beautiful for summer.
    Mancera and Montale are going through some serious quality issues at present with myself having been subject to fraud in a (authentic) purchase of Instant Crush so weak it's almost nothing. An increasing number are complaining on Fragrantica on both brands. I've sworn off the Montale and Mancera till they deal with it - perhaps they never will. You might find a decent one but it really is the luck of the draw.

      Heya hun ♥️
      Lolita Land is coming home next month. And I could not be more excited.
      I was a victim of a next for nothing Instant Crush. I fought to have it returned because they were not accepting it back.
      So far my experience with Momtale has been good. Amber Oud Tobacco is also coming home next month hehe ♥️♥️♥️

      Maybe that is why I do not like the Rare Tiffany because I bought it wanting to love it. I so hate when perfumers change the formulations. Thank you for warning us about the Mancera, I had one in my cart so glad I had not purchased yet.

    • @sueseverin1871
      @sueseverin1871 Рік тому

      I don't know - I think a lot are still posting good reviews on Fragrantica about Instant Crush but I have definitely noticed a pattern with some others (which prompted me to check out reviews of other Manceras and Montales). I really do hope it's temporary - maybe bad batches or something. I'm in Australia if that makes any difference.@@cynthiamitchell2442

    • @sueseverin1871
      @sueseverin1871 Рік тому

      Great to hear about Lolitaland - I look forward to your opinion here. Also I just got Junoon Oud: it is EVRYTHING you say - and more!! A summer stunner for sure. Very unusual.
      We don't have rights to returns and it's unfair but keep pushing for your right. It's definitely not acceptable to pay this much for something that lasts 15 or 30 minutes at most and by their definition fragrances should reasonably be expected to last even a bit longer. Also I don't believe with some weak reformulations you're getting all the notes so you could emphasise false advertising perhaps. @@SiminShaikh

    Hello my beautiful friend, love this video , love your warm words, I totally understand how you would feel about your community, from all I can see and read they are lovely. I think in my case due to Fibromyalgie and also been told I look as I have Long Covid I have become so fond of my community of friends on social media. I have my loved ones outside social media but I treasure my friends on social media as I have become close to quite a few. I think we react to someone who is genuine ( which you are ❤) passionate and excited about whatever they are sharing, and I think most of us realize how much time, energy and effort ( and money) is put into your wonderful reviews. Thank you dear Simin 💜. I am really looking forward to get my Armaf Ego Exotic as I loved Fragile. Now I have to check the other scents out, I do not know how you chose but I am impressed that you were able to choose 5. If I had to choose 5 ( if someone FORCED me to do so ) right now it would be ( do not judge, all I can say it smells really lovely on me and always a compliment getter) is Opulent Red, AMETHYST as this is my shield or armour when I feel I need it, Khaltaat Gold Al Arabia Royal Blends , I seem to pick this up a lot, Infini Rose when I feel in need of gentleness, OK struggling to narrow it down now.......since the weather warmed up it would be either Ameerat Al Arab or Mohra Silky Rose, but I feel Rare Passion will be amongst the 5 as well as Ego Exotic, but again it depends on seasons. You looks absolutely beautiful hun, lots of love to you and purrs to 😻😽 Markus, Tia 😘

      Hello my Angel ❤
      It always puts a smile on my face when I see your comment. I have friends here in Dubai (Just enough to count finger on one hand lol) but we all have become so anti-social after the 2020 fiasco and us getting used to being home bodies. I also think, we all want to feel loved, which is why someone who you have not met ever, can form such close bond with you. I wish the whole world were this way. Just being kind, spreading positive vibes and living a happy life ❤
      Oh man! I could have done a spring/summer and fall/winter so I could manage to get 10 perfumes in lol.
      Your choice is amazing babe! I need to get Opulent Red. It is about time I tried that collection. I didn't add Amethyst just because I cannot wear it everywhere. My brain was hurting making the selection lol.
      Lots of love and kisses to you Fur Babies and of course a whole world of love and tight hug to you my Angel ❤❤❤

      @@SiminShaikh My Angel, when I see a new video notification from your channel I literally stop WHATEVER I am doing and sit down and watch it. Am I the only one that sometimes replies to what you say ?😅 If so then I will still admit to this. I just love your videos so much. 😍 Love, I have always felt, is the most important thing in life. Life is the antidote to fear and whether it is epic romantic love, love for friends, love or passion we feel for what interests us, love for our fur babies, it is what enriches our lives. We respond to your beauty, inner and outer beauty, kindness ,war, sense of fun and humour and feel close to you. ❤You are so right , if only the whole world 🌎 was this way. 👌 I hope so much you will love Opulent Red or at least like it, I realise that on some people it smells different and of course we all smell things differently. To me it is like a grand passionate ❤, irresistible. I have to force myself (honestly) to stop reaching for it EVERY day, yet I sniff on the cap every day. I would say I am addicted to this like I am to the music of Barry Ryan 🎶. Amethyst is also one I have to smell if I do not wear it. Sending so much ❤ love to you and Markus, big hugs, ❤ Tia

    What a fun challenge! Your enthusiasm is so contagious. So much so, that I ordered Amraf Ego Exotic before your video was even completed. 😂 You haven't steered me wrong yet, Simin! Afnan Rare Passion? Yep. Nebras? Yep. Junoon Oud? Yep. All of them are bangers! 😊. If I had to choose my 5 most used fragrances this year, I would choose: 1) Jasmine Wisp by Rasasi 2) Casablanca by Swiss Arabian 3) Khamrah by Lattafa 4) Amber Oud Gold by Al Haramain and 5)Rare Passion by Afnan. That's a pretty big mix. I am very excited about Ego Exotic.

    I watch a few channels but your channel is by far my favorite!! My list looks a bit different from others, I think my body chemistry has something to do with some fragrances not smelling right on me. I wish I could put Rare Tiffany on my list but it does not last at all on me and does not mix well with my chemisty but the beautiful bottle will last forever on my vanity.
    1. Oud Mood - my longest lasting fragrance and I always get compliments on it such a lovely fragrance. This is a true beast on me.
    2. Fakhar for women - my husband's favorite on me and I love it too
    3. Khamrah - no need to explain lol
    4. Bint Hooran - although this is a skin scent on me I LOVE it so much! I go around holding my arm to my nose and place my arm next to my nose when I sleep at night
    5. Asdaaf Andaleeb - very soft floral I can't smell it but those close to me can so it is good for work so as not to offend anyone plus the bottle is so beautiful

    The reason why Arabians Tonka doesn’t stand at more points on Fragrantica is that Montale house itself gets so much hate (on Fragrantica) 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure why because they are the most potent perfumes I’ve ever tried - considering they’re beast mode scents, I find the price actually quite decent.

    Great video ❤ question for you. Have you heard of or tried any of the Afnan Edict line? I want to know about Amberythme because I heard it’s similar to BR540 with a twist. I am on the hunt for something similar to BR540 with more sweetness than the dupes are giving me😞

      @SiminShaikh  Рік тому +1

      Heya Hun ❤ Thanks a bunch. It was super fun filming it. I wanna get my hands on that line but as of now it is super expensive, so I am buying time lol. But I recently came across Amber Wave by Matin Martin which fits the bill of BR540 DNA with deeper soul warming notes ❤

    Omg i love this list❤ simin can you review the dupe for versace crystal noir. I'm trying to search for crystal noir dupe but its hard. The ameerat al ehsas one not my cup of tea and the performances is poor. I saw another dupe but i hesitate to buy it and need an opinion because it's not that well known. I think the dupe is from maison alhambra called versencia noir.

      Trust me I know what you mean. A good starting point would be Silky Rose by Lattafa. It’s fresh and airy. Club de nuit is beautiful but not rose forward. Other rose perfume I absolutely love is Oscar Dela Renta Bella Rosa. Now that is how a rose should smell ♥️

    Of the rare Tiffany and nebras I already have samples, but I've not had time to test them properly yet. I have sample of french portrait by fragrance world, dube for portrait of The lady. That is on my top list to get full bottle. Lovely Cherie by Maison Alhambra is one of my top 5 for sure.
    That armaf got me interested, I'll need to add it to my get-a-sample list.
    And by the way, as others also mentioned the green colour absolutely suits you.
