I appreciate this video so much. I love fragrance but right now I’m trying to improve my relationship with money, so knowing that there’s quality dupes of fragrances from someone who loves the original’s is really important for me. Sometimes I feel bad that I can’t afford the full bottles of the originals but now I can be more confident in smelling good and being financially responsible! Please do more of these. Especially for my vanilla & gourmand fragrances !
Girrrl same! Due to perfume UA-cam ( I don’t do TikTok ) I’m now spending money monthly on perfume! And sadly after Covid sooo many new perfumes out there charging $300 400 500 😅 heck no! I use to buy two expensive perfumes a year one for fall winter ( Dior poison ) and one for spring summer ( Chanel 5 Leau ) But now I’m trying gourmands and vanillas and ehh so it’s good to have some dupes! 😅saves my wallet! I am loving Italian houses like Toscana, Firenze, merchant of Venice etc they have really good performers and usually are around $150! Love Kayali for ex but after my pistachio yum? I won’t buy anymore from her as they don’t last 🤷♀️ 😢and it’s a shame I love kayalis blends she makes great perfumes I want to buy them all! But they are weak 😢
Yeah sometimes you can find some great reviews but everything seems to be hyped on there so I just take it all with a grain of salt and try to get recommendations from those whose perfume collection is a bit more similar to mine lol. That way I know we at least speak the same language lol.
LOL…. I have a rule… if any influencer gushes over the Yara triplets like it’s part of the second coming… I gotta go…✌🏾. Lord help them on their journey… 🤣
Thanks for this video. I was such a niche snob and would not dream of buying a dupe. I thought middle eastern fragrances would mess with my skin. I tried the Casamorati Dama Bianca dupe Haramain Junoon Noir and I was shook!! I couldn’t believe it and it was a 1:1! Then I got Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold and again was shook that it was thee exact scent 1:1! I still love my OG’s but when I run out these dupes will go into full effect. I do re-up with the dupes during the day.
Girl, This was me!!!! I was like ewww dupes...never lol. BUT there is no denying the quality of these ME houses and I love the fact that I can serve my audience better with dupe recommendation for my favorite niche frags. I am a niche girl at heart 100% but so many people are just not interested in spending thousands of dollars on perfumes like I do lol. I just want to show everyone there are options for us all to smell amazing. So glad you decided to be open and try them as well! 💞
Wow Sharida! I totally agree with you about everyone of these dupes! I just received the Guidance dupe and am blown away! It’s stunning and super long lasting!! Thank you for keeping us informed about these incredible dupes!! 🥰😘
Good morning sister❤ Yeah baby that Amber Oud Gold by Al Haramain is SPOT ON for Erba Pura. My sons wore it to school at the beginning of the year and had the teachers asking... had to text me for the name so Coach Jones could write down! They call it "Holla Man" because we learned about it from a guy from Yemen and he pronounced it "all hadda mah een" which turned into "Holla Mane" 😂 and now it's "Holla Man". Lemme holla atcha...😂 holla holla holla iykyk
Hey Sharida! I’m so happy you ended up loving the Guidance dupe. I also love it too. I totally agree with you. It’s a more light fresher take on guidance. But so feminine and sexy. Great for Summer. It’s honestly making want to buy the OG. For the fall and winter time.
They did a phenomenal job with this perfume! I actually like thats its a bit lighter because I feel like I can wear it in a place where I may be afraid to wear a powerhouse like Guidance. THANK YOU for telling me about it Sherrine!
Rifaaqat is intoxicating! I immediately purchased a back-up bottle after trying it. Sharida, thank you for showing her love. Paris Corner has some fantastic Middle Eastern fragrances.
Paris Corber is defintely blowing everyone else out of the water at the minute. It’s a great house and their quality is amazing. I’ve bought a few from here and there hasn’t been one I’ve disliked!
I need a back up too, and i need plenty other fragrances , there are so many I ve spotted. Loving Paris Corner, so far I was not disappointed. Girls, I'm totally into vanilla and gourmand, but I really want that Guidance dupe, should I give it a try ?
It’s not the same. Maybe 75-80%. It’s more nutty than the pear rose notes and it the beginning there’s a hard smell that resembles to me to rhubarb. It’s not bad but to me it needs to grow on me.
I know I have probably said this before, but thank you! Thank you for being diverse on your channel. It is kind of funny how some youtube fragrance snobs didn't even purchase 80 percent of their collection. How can they be too good to buy a ME perfume..but they got all perfumes for free? IJS 😂
That is correct that I stopped making my videos in English trying to belong paying for perfumes I can’t afford became too much they thend used to make us believed they purchased 🤦🏽♀️
Affection by Lattafa Pride is so good and affordable, I bought that over the Kayali and do not regret it one bit! Amazing performance in comparison. Also, Liam from Lattafa is an AWESOME Gris Charnel by BDK dupe, highly recommend and super affordable!
@@SharidaM they look so much fuller even than the “ten reasons why you shouldn’t get sisters locs” video. i have brotherlocs ™️ and i’ll be hitting the sixth month mark july 3rd! and i keep looking at your length so jealous because i want it now. lol. and i kept thinking ugh i want them now. but before my installation your video said that no two heads are the same it’s going to look completely different
Hi Sharida I bought a travel size of Guidance last yr . I didn’t care for it . I thought it was to strong. I packed it along with Vibrato and Tibit for my Chicago trip to see Queen Nicki Minaj. I picked Guidance to wear for the concert. I went down to the lobby and everyone was telling me how good I smelled. I went to the concert and when I started moving around I started getting wisps of something that smelled so good. I was like what’s that smell. I realized it was me 😂 I love ❤️ it now . I definitely bought the dupe yesterday. 🤷🏾♀️
I just got BAYN Al ASRAR yesterday and I’m pretty disappointed. It’s possible that mine needs to macerate for a few weeks- but it just wasn’t giving Amouage Guidance at all. I’m gonna let my juice “marinate” and think about what it’s done, for a little bit. And if it decides to change its ways and be the scent I know it CAN be, then I’ll forgive it for putting me thru all that disappointment 😂 I’ll keep y’all updated if it macerates well and becomes more defined in its notes!!❤
@@rea2725 exactly 😭 I will say, I sprayed it on a tester swatch first thing this morning and after sitting ALL day, I can almost see a 50% match But it’s more fruity, not NEARLY as creamy, deep, woodsy and sensual as Guidance. BAYN is more of like a pear musky cheaper smell, there’s no depth to it, NO creaminess, you definitely don’t get the woodsy notes at all. It did smell better today than it did 2 days ago when I sprayed it fresh out of the packaging after it arrived in the mail, so maybe it just needs time.. but idk I’m so over buying TikTok viral perfumes because those girls will literally tell you whatever you want to hear in order to click their link and get them commission by buying it. And I’ve only liked 1 out of the MANY viral Arab perfumes I’ve bought. I forget that not everyone has integrity or morals these days, especiallllly on the tik tok. Every video they make has some type of link for you to buy something that they get commission for. They just be lying on us , sis 😭
Okay..i just received bayn al asrar today. This is a stunner. On my skin this is a Gorgeous, slightly spicy, sweet, woody and deeply mysterious scent. I AM IN LOVE❤❤❤Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I have spent thousands of dollars on fragrance because I love it but I refuse to pay these inflated prices!. Middle Eastern fragrances calmed my spirit and allows me to shop on! ❤❤❤❤
This was phenomenal! Thank you for sharing these with us ♥♥♥ Middle Eastern perfumes are THE BEST! I feel like a fool for dropping money on expensive perfumes all these years. A Middle Eastern dupe I have enjoyed and have gotten tons of compliments on is Armaf Club de Nuit Imperiale, which is a dupe for Delina Exclusif. It is a beast! So, don't have a heavy hand when spraying.
I just got chased down in a doctors office by a tech asking what I was wearing.... I had the Guidance dupe on... Bayn Al Asrar. It smells so much better on me than the original. Had to come here and give my testimony!
IM LOVING Italian perfume houses!! Why? Good performing scents unlike Ms Kayali ha and they’re usually around $150!! That’s a fair price for a monster performer!! Love it !! Just got Vaniglia De Madagascar by Firenze omg what a vanilla! But I’ve got some great dupes like my khmarah omg and the one for my way is amazing!!
I love my niche fragrances but it’s nice to have a dupe to make the OG bottle last longer. However, I will always repurchase Bianco Latte and I’ll never buy its dupes. At $150 it’s less expensive than some designer fragrances. Great video Sharida and you look lovely in that lip color! Spring vibes!❤
Yesssssss! I've been waiting for this! Approved by the Queen 👸🏾 Aroma Concepts better thank you now because that Guidance dupe is about to be sold out.
Yum Pistachio dupe KHAIR leans more masculine. Affection is right there in the middle, much more creamy and sweeter. I have both, and in cold weather i mixed both.
My Khair pistachio is super sweet- it’s like an airy cotton candy. I certainly do not get a masculine feel. Is it possible you’re trying Khair instead of Khair Pistachio? It does take about 4 weeks to develop into the really sweet scent that I have.
I wasn’t supposed to be buying a thing…. But I’ve been wanting Guidance and I’m definitely not paying almost $400. Yep I ordered the paris corner dupe… tfs!!!❤❤
What are your thoughts of house of MIRIS? They have a lot of dupes of big brand perfumes, I bought the MJ Daisy and a co-worker said it smells exactly alike!
Sharida!! Look what I was writing to you when you started talking about Guidance.… “Sharida!! Please, please get your nose on Paris Corner’s dupe for Guidance. It's called Bayn Al Asrar.” Sisssss!! I need a back-up!! Hubby LOVES it, but he doesn't care for our OG 😭 I’ve been using Bayn Al Asrar for the last two days - yes, since I've got her. I love it, and the fact that it smelled beautiful at first spray threw me off!! And you're right; it doesn't match the OG performance, but she go!! I’m so happy to have it. Also, I don't care much for dupes, but Paris Corner is bringing it!! As always, great video! Have a great day ❤
I think everyone who owns Guidance will appreciate also owning Bayn! It's going to be my go to for summer because I won't have to worry about it being "too much" in 90 degree weather lol! But can still enjoy the lovely smell of my beloved Guidance. They did a wonderful job with this scent!
Incredible video, Sharida, it's now my go-to reference for dupes! I've already gotten a bottle of Bayn Al Asrar thanks to you, and can't wait to wear it for summer! Thank you, my beauty! 😍🙏😘
Great video Sharida! The best dupe to BR540 (in my opinion) is called Amber Rouge by Orientica! It’s such a good dupe that when I wear it, everyone around me thinks I’m wearing the OG. I have the extrait version so tbh, Amber Rouge may be more of a dupe to the extrait, but it’s SOOO GOOD, even the longevity is amazing. ☺️
I’ve got a lot of dupes right now my favorite houses are Dua and Julianna’s Perfumes. The Guide by Dua is probably more powerful than the original Guidance so I have to spray lightly that one will stay in my clothes in the wash. Oakcha is decent but they seem to have a consistent DNA that makes it hard to see it as a dupe house. ALT dupes are also decent but open with a lot of alcohol I own the Alien dupe, the Thorned Rose dupe and the Delina Exclusif dupe. Arabian dupes I own that are good are Lataffa Ansaam Gold (Oriana), Paris Corner Pistachio Khair and Lataffa Tharwah Gold (Libre Intense).
😃Thank you so much for this video. I absolutely love Vibrato, every time I were it I get complements all day and it lasts forever. I am definitely going to buy the Junoon Oud dupe for this because Vibrato is pricey! Subscribed!
Have a request. Really enjoyed this review of dupes for high end fragrances. However, I get confused trying to sort out which is which when I go back to look at your list of fragrances mentioned. Is it possible for you to put the OG name next to the dupe for us to reference? Would really appreciate it. Thanks so much for educating us
Hi😊Enjoyed your video. You are spot on with your Middle Eastern scents. Im making my list. I do have Love Affection and Rifaaqat and I really enjoy them both. I have heard influencers say some you may have to let it sit for a while to allow it to mature in the bottle. And I have experienced the difference in the smell. It gets bolder😊 Looking forward to adding more.
Ugh my Paris Corner list is growing. I love Vetiver Delight so much, bought Cedrat Essence for hubby. But I also got him Suqraat which I love so that got me to get some Lattafa for myself - Tamima (D&G L'Imperatrice 3 dupe) and Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited (TF Solein Blanc dupe). But for Paris Corner, Pear Potion will be my next purchase and will definitely try the ones you recommend
For a great Bianco Latte dupe, Dapper Fragrances. I own it. It smells like the OG & lasts, it’s strong. BL has this thing that stings your nostrils on the initial spray and in the Dapper version they somehow got rid of that. To me that’s the only difference. It’s worth mentioning that I’m not a crazed fan of that dupe house, as many people are. For example, I was severely disappointed in their Minnie Mouse dupe. The raspberry note is gross. Makes me queasy. But the BL is divine! Probably the best Dapper dupe of the 15ish I’ve tried
Finally! Somebody that recommends my beloved Amber Oud Gold! I was about to pull the trigger on Erba Pura, blindly, but a friend of mine owns it and gave me a small decant... I really liked it but it was a bit too citric-forward, and I was looking for more of a melon/peach forward musk... after searching on Fragrantica I came across Amber Oud Gold and I just ordered it, blindly... To say I'm in love with the fruity musk is an understatement, because I absolutely adore it and my summers wouldn't be the same without it.
Thanks for the dupe video! It’s nice to have options! I’m new to perfume and want to try out different perfumes but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to try out multiple fragrances! ❤
Hey Sharida🎉 Great video. I had fire ur desire but i found myself overspraying cos d lasting power wasn't it for me. I replaced it with Sharaf blend from Zimaya.
Hey Sharida! Thank you for the fragrance dupes. I have some of the Middle Eastern fragrances. I get my dupes from Be Layered. They have lasting power also they are so spot on to the niche scents.
Sharida, first let me say you look radiant. Now down to the smell goods, B&BW Covered in Roses, I picked it up for my everyday go to, spray like you craycray Delina alternative because yes I have Delina but did you see? PDM prices are like my lord and savior Jesus, they rose again. It’s like red light, green light 🚥 123 out here with the price hikes. I am taking it easy on my bottle of Delina, and Valaya, Oriana and Cassili for that matter. The longevity is not the best but if you zhuge it up with some Karma Sutra or Karma Sutra Crystal from Skinpotion you may get a good 4 to 5hrs. Thank you for an informative video, you are truly appreciated.
Thank you for this video! I know that it is an Arab fragrance review, but I just wanted to mention these to you. Orena Fragrance oil in Caramel Vanilla and DUA Sugary Fantasy Of Cotton Candy are excellent replicas of Bianco Latte. The Orena oil is very concentrated- I love layering it with Bianco Latte :)
The two first Mid Eastern fragrance I’ve purchased were disappointing to me but I’ve never tried anything from Paris Corner and I’m really loving the bottle. I can’t wait to try a few of these! Great video as always! 🙏🏾💕
Hi Sharida I’m one of the ones who can’t be on Niche buy all the time I do sometimes when there’s a Very Good Sale but other than that I’m gonna look for something that’s for a fraction of the price but Smells Good and performs Well so I come to my UA-cam Ladies for Help Thank You So Much 👍🏾😊
I wear all sorts of fragrances, if it smells good on me I will wear it😍😍. I love my Guidance however I will ask my stockist if he can source Bayn Al Asra🤔🤔. I wore Affection to death this past summer 💚💚and I find Khair Pistachio to be a tad green🤔🤔. I would love to hear your thoughts on Khair Fusion Lychee 🤔🤔. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Girl finally someone who loves ishq al shuyukh Gold too❤❤❤❤ . I am obsessed with it , and my opinion it is rifaaqat on Steroid 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I have both and it is just amazing
You are so welcome! These dupes really have to come correct to be featured so trust I will alway give you nothing but the bangers lol. So glad you all are enjoying!
Girl! I’m on my 3rd bottle of Rosendo 5 and I bought the dupe as well based on your recommendation and they smell exactly the same ❤ Just bought the Guidance dupe right now , thank you for your recommendation 😊
Thanks for this video! ❤Getting Affection Love, Ishq al Shuyukh gold, Mystique Bouquet, Bayn Al Asrar, Rifaqaat, Junoon Noir and Oud, Fire your Desire and Eclaire ASAP😭😭
Thank you for your transparency. I know you’re a guidance girl so I wonder how you think afnans supremacy pink compares because I think it’s an amazing dupe to guidance for $25 and it lasted 12 hours on my skin.
I have stopped buying Middle Eastern fragrances like it’s my job. I have about 35-40 and probably will give 20 of them away. But Rifaaqat is good! Mystique Bouquet is a very pretty scent too. And now I may have to try the Guidance dupe, the OG was too strong and made me nauseous. You look amazing in this video! Perfect makeup and I love that top.
Amber Oud Gold.... yasss! It's so powerful and beautiful for a fraction of the cost. TFS! I'll be picking up a few of these 😊 especially the one for Guidance
I have a full bottle of Rosendo Mateu No. 5 and I’ve tried it 3 different times… it smells like plastic on me. I blind bought it and wanted to love it. But it does not mesh with my chemistry. I think I’m gonna have to let it go.
Does anybody have a middle eastern dupe for 1- wood sage and sea salt (Jo Malone) and 2- soleil blanc? Please o please.... i'd love a salty- woody- with a little sweetness. Doesn't it sound good?
I love your review on RUA… the dupe for Delina…ordered it from your link provided from Aroma Scents… I haven’t heard from them, but the payment went through. Help!!!
I bought the Amber Oud Gold edition and loved it (got a lot of compliments on it) and had no idea it was a dupe for something, lol. I'll have to check out the dupe for Vallaya...I just have to get through my back up bottle (I love that fragrance).
One thing I will say about Amber Oud Gold, it is one of those M.E. fragrances you need to spray out and let it sit. Ended up giving it my son because on me I found it too masculine. It’s definitely a beast mode fragrance, no doubt.
OMFG the Guidance dupe is amazing!! I just got it and you were right. Its spot on to my nose. Thank you cause i was holding on for dear life to my 2nd 10 ml decant of Guidance. I love it ❤
I appreciate this video so much. I love fragrance but right now I’m trying to improve my relationship with money, so knowing that there’s quality dupes of fragrances from someone who loves the original’s is really important for me.

I concur I’m trying to do better with my spending. Blessed that I can afford but I really have to do better about my spending
Kudos to you for trying to be more fiscally responsible and not over extending yourself to get the higher end fragrances
lol the way you said “TikTok” yeah the girlies over there are heavily “obsessed” with everything. I come to my UA-cam OGs for trusted dupes
Yeah sometimes you can find some great reviews but everything seems to be hyped on there so I just take it all with a grain of salt and try to get recommendations from those whose perfume collection is a bit more similar to mine lol. That way I know we at least speak the same language lol.

Mystique bouquet is insanely close to valaya. I own both and can confirm that mystique is so high quality
I bought my bottle once I saw this review.
Is it long lasting?
Am getting this then 😅
@@JAY-su6oc yes
Mine just came in yesterday, and I'm so glad I took the leap and bought it
If anyone is looking for a Dama Bianca dupe, try Junoon Noir. Almost a spot on dupe!
Thanks so much 🙏🏽😃
I have this one too. It’s good. Mine is just a bit more citrus (quince I think) but still smells 90-95% similar
Yes. I have them both and it’s extremely close.
I have this as well and its super close to the OG. Long lasting as well
Trying to luv Junoon Noir😩.. but that musk is sooooo skanky to my nose🤢🤣😂🤣.. but after it settles I love the dry down

Yeah it truly is!
I have both Affection and Khair Pistachio too - and I love both. I feel Affection is creamier or smoother, but proudly wear both!
I agree, something just a little smoother in Affection that makes me desire it over Khair.
The lighting! The quality! Such a well put together video👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much Queen!
Yes, it’s extremely pleasant to the eye❤Well done!
I love the Guidance dupe. All the things that I didn't like about Guidance have been toned down in this and it's pitch perfect for me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I figured a large number of people would like this one even more because of that. So happy you are enjoying it! 💞
I have all these (and the originals) but the Mystique Bouquet. Will be giving it a shot! These dupes are doing it.
I just got BAYN Al ASRAR yesterday and I’m pretty disappointed.

So, don't have a heavy hand when spraying.
I just got chased down in a doctors office by a tech asking what I was wearing.... I had the Guidance dupe on... Bayn Al Asrar. It smells so much better on me than the original.
Had to come here and give my testimony!
YASSSSS Vanessa 😆🙌🏾🙌🏾💞. Thank you for sharing this with me!
No company can beat Barrett Fragrances when it comes to dupes. Just get Athena’s Wisdom it’s the dope for Guidance
Bianco latte is less expensive than most designer fragrances. So might as well save up a little to get the original. It's totally worth it.
I highly agree! I've been eyeing it's sister Bora Bora. Have you tried it?
Totally Agree! Get the original if you can!
Love junnoon oud, mystique bouquet is absolutely gorgeous and I probably won’t repurchase Valaya to save some coins 🥰
Not similar at all, bora bora is a summer Fragrance , celeste is more similar to biancolatte, same vanilla dna wirh a milky violet@@leilani_808
IM LOVING Italian perfume houses!! Why? Good performing scents unlike Ms Kayali ha and they’re usually around $150!! That’s a fair price for a monster performer!! Love it !! Just got Vaniglia De Madagascar by Firenze omg what a vanilla! But I’ve got some great dupes like my khmarah omg and the one for my way is amazing!!
I completely agree with you about Affection! People rarely pick Affection over Khair. It’s a fresh gourmand!
I love my niche fragrances but it’s nice to have a dupe to make the OG bottle last longer. However, I will always repurchase Bianco Latte and I’ll never buy its dupes. At $150 it’s less expensive than some designer fragrances. Great video Sharida and you look lovely in that lip color! Spring vibes!❤
Yes to Bianco Latte hands down. 💯💯
I bought a couple of these and Sharida, you are spot on! I love your recommendations and you never steer us wrong! Love this channel ❤️
Thank you Sandy! So happy you decided to try and my recommendations are working for you! 😊😘
Yesssssss! I've been waiting for this! Approved by the Queen 👸🏾 Aroma Concepts better thank you now because that Guidance dupe is about to be sold out.
Caution! Amber Oud Gold has oil in the fragrance. "PLS DONT SPRAY ON YOUR CLOTHES, IT WILL STAIN"
All fragrance has oil in it.
@@julitakamaki4386 That particular fragrance is more oil that water.
So does Junoon Oud!!
my body chemistry works with all perfumes, i am blessed with that
Yum Pistachio dupe KHAIR leans more masculine. Affection is right there in the middle, much more creamy and sweeter. I have both, and in cold weather i mixed both.
My Khair pistachio is super sweet- it’s like an airy cotton candy. I certainly do not get a masculine feel. Is it possible you’re trying Khair instead of Khair Pistachio? It does take about 4 weeks to develop into the really sweet scent that I have.
@@Kettlebelle.e I haven't sprayed it in a while. I'll give KP another go. I've had it for a few months now.
I wasn’t supposed to be buying a thing…. But I’ve been wanting Guidance and I’m definitely not paying almost $400. Yep I ordered the paris corner dupe… tfs!!!❤❤
I hope you enjoy it! 💞
What are your thoughts of house of MIRIS? They have a lot of dupes of big brand perfumes, I bought the MJ Daisy and a co-worker said it smells exactly alike!
I LOVE YOUR point of views on these arabic perfumes!! My collection has grown so much and I absolutely love it.
So glad you are enjoying this type of content from me Valarie! 💞
Sharida!! Look what I was writing to you when you started talking about Guidance.… “Sharida!! Please, please get your nose on Paris Corner’s dupe for Guidance. It's called Bayn Al Asrar.”
Sisssss!! I need a back-up!! Hubby LOVES it, but he doesn't care for our OG 😭 I’ve been using Bayn Al Asrar for the last two days - yes, since I've got her. I love it, and the fact that it smelled beautiful at first spray threw me off!! And you're right; it doesn't match the OG performance, but she go!! I’m so happy to have it. Also, I don't care much for dupes, but Paris Corner is bringing it!!
As always, great video! Have a great day ❤
I think everyone who owns Guidance will appreciate also owning Bayn! It's going to be my go to for summer because I won't have to worry about it being "too much" in 90 degree weather lol! But can still enjoy the lovely smell of my beloved Guidance. They did a wonderful job with this scent!
Incredible video, Sharida, it's now my go-to reference for dupes! I've already gotten a bottle of Bayn Al Asrar thanks to you, and can't wait to wear it for summer! Thank you, my beauty! 😍🙏😘
You are so welcome Marie! I am wearing mine all summer as well!
Great video Sharida! The best dupe to BR540 (in my opinion) is called Amber Rouge by Orientica! It’s such a good dupe that when I wear it, everyone around me thinks I’m wearing the OG. I have the extrait version so tbh, Amber Rouge may be more of a dupe to the extrait, but it’s SOOO GOOD, even the longevity is amazing. ☺️
This is one I want to add next because my BR450 is on its last few sprays 😅
Yeah, BAYN Al asrar 😀😀 I can tell you I’ll be layering this with guidance 🤣 more is more
More Dupe Videos Please :)
So nice to see Affection gets some love! Khair gets all the attention but the Lattafa is way better than Khair and Yum Pistachio.
Yes...the bottle for Khair is amazing and think thats why so many flock to it lol.. But the scent and performance of Affection is superior IMO.
Absolutely...it is absolutely gorgeous
True story!
This is the best video I never knew I needed! Thank you!
I’ve got a lot of dupes right now my favorite houses are Dua and Julianna’s Perfumes. The Guide by Dua is probably more powerful than the original Guidance so I have to spray lightly that one will stay in my clothes in the wash. Oakcha is decent but they seem to have a consistent DNA that makes it hard to see it as a dupe house. ALT dupes are also decent but open with a lot of alcohol I own the Alien dupe, the Thorned Rose dupe and the Delina Exclusif dupe. Arabian dupes I own that are good are Lataffa Ansaam Gold (Oriana), Paris Corner Pistachio Khair and Lataffa Tharwah Gold (Libre Intense).
Junoon Noir, is a beautiful dupe for Dama Bianca
That one I want to add next. Everyone speak so highly of it.
It's good!
@@SharidaM You won't regret it. I wore it yesterday, it was good and lasted all day.
😃Thank you so much for this video. I absolutely love Vibrato, every time I were it I get complements all day and it lasts forever. I am definitely going to buy the Junoon Oud dupe for this because Vibrato is pricey! Subscribed!
You are so welcome! You will LOVE Junoon Oud!
I LOVE Rifaqaat! 🥰 Looking forward to trying Rua, sounds like a keeper! Great video! ☺
Have a request. Really enjoyed this review of dupes for high end fragrances. However, I get confused trying to sort out which is which when I go back to look at your list of fragrances mentioned. Is it possible for you to put the OG name next to the dupe for us to reference? Would really appreciate it. Thanks so much for educating us
I was wondering if I should do that lol. Will add that to description! Thank you ☺️
Hi😊Enjoyed your video. You are spot on with your Middle Eastern scents. Im making my list. I do have Love Affection and Rifaaqat and I really enjoy them both. I have heard influencers say some you may have to let it sit for a while to allow it to mature in the bottle. And I have experienced the difference in the smell. It gets bolder😊 Looking forward to adding more.
Ugh my Paris Corner list is growing. I love Vetiver Delight so much, bought Cedrat Essence for hubby. But I also got him Suqraat which I love so that got me to get some Lattafa for myself - Tamima (D&G L'Imperatrice 3 dupe) and Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited (TF Solein Blanc dupe). But for Paris Corner, Pear Potion will be my next purchase and will definitely try the ones you recommend
Khair Pistachio is an amazing dupe for Yum Pistachio Gelato. 💯💯👌🏽
For a great Bianco Latte dupe, Dapper Fragrances. I own it. It smells like the OG & lasts, it’s strong. BL has this thing that stings your nostrils on the initial spray and in the Dapper version they somehow got rid of that. To me that’s the only difference.
It’s worth mentioning that I’m not a crazed fan of that dupe house, as many people are. For example, I was severely disappointed in their Minnie Mouse dupe. The raspberry note is gross. Makes me queasy. But the BL is divine! Probably the best Dapper dupe of the 15ish I’ve tried
I have heard great things about the Dapper version so definitely interested in trying it!
Finally! Somebody that recommends my beloved Amber Oud Gold! I was about to pull the trigger on Erba Pura, blindly, but a friend of mine owns it and gave me a small decant... I really liked it but it was a bit too citric-forward, and I was looking for more of a melon/peach forward musk... after searching on Fragrantica I came across Amber Oud Gold and I just ordered it, blindly... To say I'm in love with the fruity musk is an understatement, because I absolutely adore it and my summers wouldn't be the same without it.
Thanks for the dupe video! It’s nice to have options! I’m new to perfume and want to try out different perfumes but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to try out multiple fragrances! ❤
I’m so glad your reviewed the Paris corner / guidance. I have it in my cart. gonna def buy it
Where are you buying it?
Hey Sharida🎉
Great video.
I had fire ur desire but i found myself overspraying cos d lasting power wasn't it for me. I replaced it with Sharaf blend from Zimaya.
Hey Sharida! Thank you for the fragrance dupes. I have some of the Middle Eastern fragrances. I get my dupes from Be Layered. They have lasting power also they are so spot on to the niche scents.
Oh wow Sharida I love these dupe videos so much! It’s been a while since anyone has done a dupe video! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome Helen! 💞
Amber Oud Gold....a great one and will get you compliments
It will and I wore as my SOTD yesterday. A fruity powerhouse that garners attention every time!
Thank you for this... such a beautiful woman you are. Btw what lipstick are you wearing? It looks amazing.
That lipstick 💄 is so pretty 🥰
Thank you! Its by The Lip Bar in shade Rich Auntie 💞
I hear Lataffah Eclair is a dupe for Bianco latte. Would love to know your thoughts.
I finally received BabyCat & it reminds me so much of Rosendo 5 without that burning tire note that I get sometimes.
Sharida, first let me say you look radiant. Now down to the smell goods, B&BW Covered in Roses, I picked it up for my everyday go to, spray like you craycray Delina alternative because yes I have Delina but did you see? PDM prices are like my lord and savior Jesus, they rose again. It’s like red light, green light 🚥 123 out here with the price hikes. I am taking it easy on my bottle of Delina, and Valaya, Oriana and Cassili for that matter. The longevity is not the best but if you zhuge it up with some Karma Sutra or Karma Sutra Crystal from Skinpotion you may get a good 4 to 5hrs. Thank you for an informative video, you are truly appreciated.
Thank you for this video! I know that it is an Arab fragrance review, but I just wanted to mention these to you. Orena Fragrance oil in Caramel Vanilla and DUA Sugary Fantasy Of Cotton Candy are excellent replicas of Bianco Latte. The Orena oil is very concentrated- I love layering it with Bianco Latte :)
The two first Mid Eastern fragrance I’ve purchased were disappointing to me but I’ve never tried anything from Paris Corner and I’m really loving the bottle. I can’t wait to try a few of these! Great video as always! 🙏🏾💕
Hi Sharida I’m one of the ones who can’t be on Niche buy all the time I do sometimes when there’s a Very Good Sale but other than that I’m gonna look for something that’s for a fraction of the price but Smells Good and performs Well so I come to my UA-cam Ladies for Help
Thank You So Much 👍🏾😊
I wear all sorts of fragrances, if it smells good on me I will wear it😍😍. I love my Guidance however I will ask my stockist if he can source Bayn Al Asra🤔🤔. I wore Affection to death this past summer 💚💚and I find Khair Pistachio to be a tad green🤔🤔. I would love to hear your thoughts on Khair Fusion Lychee 🤔🤔. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Girl finally someone who loves ishq al shuyukh Gold too❤❤❤❤ . I am obsessed with it , and my opinion it is rifaaqat on Steroid 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I have both and it is just amazing
Can you find dupe for Tmoford soleil neige
I can't wait to have a dupe of Amouage Guidance in UK
Thank you for presenting great quality dupes. It also allows me to smell expensive every second of the day. Great content 👌
You are so welcome! These dupes really have to come correct to be featured so trust I will alway give you nothing but the bangers lol. So glad you all are enjoying!
Interesting, I always heard that Khair was sweeter and was the better dupe. I wear it ALL the time. I’m going to try affectionate now.
My Khair is new so maybe it needs to sit longer. It was the least sweet of the three to me.
Girl! I’m on my 3rd bottle of Rosendo 5 and I bought the dupe as well based on your recommendation and they smell exactly the same ❤
Just bought the Guidance dupe right now , thank you for your recommendation 😊
Where did you get the Rosendo 5 dupe from pls?
I bought Mystique Bouquet because of your review! Whew,the dent! Thank you so much❤
You’re welcome! So glad you love it!
Paris Corner made Cherry Cola, which is a magnificent dupe for Tonka Cola. ❤🎉
This was so awesome. Content was understandable and you described everything so well. Thank you so much for this ❤
You’re welcome ☺️ 💞!
Thanks for this video! ❤Getting Affection Love, Ishq al Shuyukh gold, Mystique Bouquet, Bayn Al Asrar, Rifaqaat, Junoon Noir and Oud, Fire your Desire and Eclaire ASAP😭😭
😊💕
I have searched everywhere for Rua. Where can I get it? Love your list
I have it linked. Aroma Concepts carries it. Use code SHARIDAM for 10% off!
Thank you for your transparency. I know you’re a guidance girl so I wonder how you think afnans supremacy pink compares because I think it’s an amazing dupe to guidance for $25 and it lasted 12 hours on my skin.
I have not tried the one from Afnan, but now interested to see how it wears.
I have stopped buying Middle Eastern fragrances like it’s my job. I have about 35-40 and probably will give 20 of them away. But Rifaaqat is good! Mystique Bouquet is a very pretty scent too. And now I may have to try the Guidance dupe, the OG was too strong and made me nauseous. You look amazing in this video! Perfect makeup and I love that top.
Thank you so much!!💞
Affection Love, another one I need to try
Amber Oud Gold.... yasss! It's so powerful and beautiful for a fraction of the cost. TFS! I'll be picking up a few of these 😊 especially the one for Guidance
I have a full bottle of Rosendo Mateu No. 5 and I’ve tried it 3 different times… it smells like plastic on me. I blind bought it and wanted to love it. But it does not mesh with my chemistry. I think I’m gonna have to let it go.
Ok, I'm watching now and have the first two, and you are spot on!
Anothet great video with good suggestions. Also want to say you KNOW your color pallet. I love the lip color ❤
Oh thank you!! The lippie is by The Lip Bar in shade Rich Auntie if you were interested ;-)
Does anybody have a middle eastern dupe for
1- wood sage and sea salt (Jo Malone) and
2- soleil blanc?
Please o please.... i'd love a salty- woody- with a little sweetness. Doesn't it sound good?
I ordered mine waiting for it to come will not pay almost 400 dollars for Amouage thanks for dupe update I always go off your request
I love your review on RUA… the dupe for Delina…ordered it from your link provided from Aroma Scents… I haven’t heard from them, but the payment went through. Help!!!
I would email them to verify it was not a pre- order. They usually ship out the same or next day in my personal experience.
I bought the Amber Oud Gold edition and loved it (got a lot of compliments on it) and had no idea it was a dupe for something, lol. I'll have to check out the dupe for Vallaya...I just have to get through my back up bottle (I love that fragrance).
Great suggestions ❤
One thing I will say about Amber Oud Gold, it is one of those M.E. fragrances you need to spray out and let it sit. Ended up giving it my son because on me I found it too masculine. It’s definitely a beast mode fragrance, no doubt.
OMFG the Guidance dupe is amazing!! I just got it and you were right. Its spot on to my nose. Thank you cause i was holding on for dear life to my 2nd 10 ml decant of Guidance. I love it ❤
It's so good! I am so glad you decided to try it Mary!!
