I have been very surprised to see Middle Eastern perfumes pop up in Burlington. It might be worth it for us Americans to check out your local Burlington. I've seen Layali, Qaed al Fursan, Casablanca, Shaghaf Oud, and Oud for Glory at mine!
Oh gosh! I hope a looooot that they are at the same prices are in the UAE. How cool it will be to just go down to your local Burlington and grab your fav ME perfumes 🖤🖤🖤
Sehr, Masa and Amethyst are officially added to my wishlist 😫😫😫💸💸💸 You are like a lil devil on my shoulder that whisper to my ear: buuuy this, buuuy that! 😂 Lattafa should pay you big money! 💜
Hahahaha babe....Im so sorryyyyy.... ❤❤❤ Now every time I will sit in front of the camera to film, I will picture myself as the little perfume devil on everyone's shoulders 😂😂😂
Thank you for saying it out loud, Simin! Oud Bouquet is a beautiful fragrance. However, that DNA is traditional ME, generations old. The Middle Eastern fragrance market owns that DNA. I was able to trace its history going back around 300 yrs. I'm sure more research could take me back further. I think some credit is due here! 😊 ❤ Thank you, Simin ❤❤❤
Wow babe ❤ Thank you for this info. 300 years wow. I was thinking maybe 100 years or so. I learn something new everyday. And you are so right. I have been smelling this DNA since childhood. In different variations, but the original "Mukhallat" (Blend) remains the same. So much love your way my hun ❤
@SiminShaikh, that's around the time a more commercialized 1920's, or so market really appeared (give or take). These various DNA blends were used in oils/attars from what I was reading and later in Parfum... . Anyway, it traveled East to West very late Renaissance.
The history of perfume in the Middle East dates back to around 7000 BC, when the first vases that could be considered perfume and cosmetics appeared. The Arab world was among the first to refine the art of extracting oils from flowers, herbs, and woods, and by the seventh century, Arabs were using scented oils and ointments on their bodies. Perfumes were used for many purposes, including: Personal hygiene and health Spiritual devotion Cultural expression Religious ceremonies Improving appearance Attracting the opposite sex Hospitality The use of incense, which was rich in resins like frankincense and myrrh, was especially important in religious ceremonies. Arab doctors also prescribed perfumes for medicinal purposes by the ninth century. The Crusades (1096-1291) were a key time for the introduction of perfumes in the West, as soldiers returning to Europe brought perfumes and essences with them. These perfumes reached European courts through Al-Andalus in the west, and with the crusaders in the east. For example, returning crusaders brought eggs and floral perfumes to Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries. The arrival of the Arabs in Spain also led to perfume traveling to France, where it could be industrialized. Granada and Seville became important perfume centers, comparable to Baghdad and Damascus.
My top three favorite perfumes are: Versace Crystal Noir, Mugler Alien and Armaf Club de nuit intense... and the way you described Amethyst, I know it will be my fourth favorite perfume! 😍 I'm already obsessed hahah btw... I just ordered it, thank you Simin! 😃🤗🖤❤🥀
I do LOVE this video!!! Thank you. And I have to say that thanks to your reviews I already have Amethyst , that I adore, Liam, gorgeous scent, Oud Mood, a perfect classic oud. Now I'm gonna buy for sure Sehr and Musamam white intense.Looking forward for your next video, blessings!
OMG!!!! I am so excited for you. Everytime anyone says they will buy Musamam White, I get happy as though I am making money from it lol. But I just feel happy coz I miss the feeling of smelling it the first time ❤❤❤ Veryyyyy excited for you. Sehr is also an excellent buy. So much love your way babe xo
I adore seeing you talk about perfumes you love! Your excitement over the scents is infectious and always puts me in a great mood, making me want to go raid my perfume stash and put a bunch of them on at once 😆❤️ LOVE Musamam, Mohra, Amethyst and Khamrah Qahwa 😍
Very much enjoy this deep dive into your collection. Would love to see more videos like this, with your own categories. Looots of fun. Wishing you all the very best!!!!! ❤
Thank you so much my hun ❤ I will make more of these collection style videos. I really need to pause on all the purchases lol (akh... who am I kidding). Have a beautiful fantastic day babe ❤❤❤
Hey beautiful. I purchased the lattafa oud mood few weeks back and I must say it’s a winner. I’m new to the oud fragrance world and I went for this one because I remember you saying it’s a great oud perfume for beginners. When I smell it, it reminds me on you because I know you love this perfume. Thanks simin. Keep shining beautiful. Sending you loads of love and blessings from UK 🇬🇧 Paula xx
❤ Hi Sim, I have and love Liam, Ameer al Oud Intense and Khamrah Qahwa. I want to take a break with buying new perfumes, but all the others you showed sound so great... 😂 Lots of Love to you! 😊
Just found your channel and I'm very pleased I did! Enjoying your absolute honesty and knowledge, I adore ME fragrances but some are definitely oudy/animaly/spice overload - and you point this out. Also I never knew anyone else who used the word "barnyardiness" as a descriptor! Middle East fragrances are beautiful, I cant remember the last time I bought French fragrance, and you caprure their magic so well.
Hey my hun ❤ Thank you so much for subbing! Every sub means so much to my tiny channel and this beautiful fragrance community. Hahaha coz I dont like using the words Fecal or Poopy hahahaaaa. I am trying to be Demure lol. I hope more people discover ME fragrances. They deserve so much love xo
I just love your reviews! Thank you so much for them. Oftentimes I get headaches from some fragrances, however, so far none of the Middle Eastern perfumes I have bought have given me any so I am so excited about buying more and more.
Hey, my hun, thank you for this oh so lovely video, just when I needed this. You are so lovely and I love watching you talk about these perfumes as you show your passion for these so clearly and explain and describe them perfectly. I woke up with a stiff neck, stiff spine and shoulders as winter has re appeared with a vengeance 😂and coughing has become a sport for me 🤣😅so I was so sore, cold and with a neck migraine and for the first time ( since I have bought Middle Eastern perfumes ) I felt too ill even to decide which perfume to wear. ( So unlike me to do something like this !) I watched you with heating packs and felt warm and comforted when you mentioned Ameer Al Oud Intense and thought , I have to wear this now (!!!!!!! ) and I paused your video and sprayed it. I felt warm and it was as if the universe gave me a hug and I felt comforted 😀💜. Then I kept watching and you talked about it being warming and comforting ! You are so right. ❤ I truly love this perfume and agree a rose note in this would have been terrible as it would have lost the special feel and just been another rose oud ME scent. The juice has changed into a darker tone and it even looks comforting. Is is strange that I go to sniff this even in summer? 😂 I LOVE 💜 Amethyst sooooooo much. I have worn this in every season and it is my shield to make me feel invincible and on top of my game. It is a perfume for a femme fatale Queen just as you said. Gerry really loves me wearing this. I love Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends so very much, I think I do wear it not as often as some of my other perfumes but like you I actually get cravings for this perfume. I love how it gives me scent memories of wonderful times. I know I will wear this on the anniversary of the day we arrived in Tasmania. I need a perfume like this one for that date as I miss my loved ones and it comforts me as well. To me it is a truly classy scent. I have had people stop me and ask what I was wearing. I always smelled plum in this one. The dry down, oh the dry down is magical. I wish I had not gotten a bad batch of Oud Mood. I am sure I would love it otherwise. I love Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian , it was the 3rd ME perfume I bought and yet I do not wear it often at all but do sniff the bottle when I get the urge and when I am in the mood to wear it, the dry down is what I adore the most. Liam is sooooo beautiful, not sharing this one with Gerry 😅, that is mine , mine and mine 😂. He loves it on me and so far thinks it is a feminine scent 😃 so it stays mine. 🙂. Ok, back to the heat packs and rest. Sending smoochies to Markus, and purrs from our 2 felines.Poor Pushkin and Sunti has been having a lot of fur balls as spring is getting close. I did buy some special treats to help with this. Wishing you a wonderful week and hope you are feeling better. So much love❤💜❤ to you and light💫, yours always, Tia ❤
My beautiful hun 🖤 I was just thinking about you 🖤 You know what's funny? Ameer Al Oudh and Amethyst remind me of you now. Everytime I wear them, I think of you. Its a memory of you which we have not even shared yet. Weird no? Babe how is the medicine detox going? Your symptoms sound worse. I am not sure if it is getting better or worse. Did you manage to get a closer date for that new docs visit? Your experience of perfumes and mine are nearly identical. Esp with Royal Blends which not many people get. I am pretty certain you have got a bad batch of the Oud Mood, coz knowing you, it was right up your alley. If you like Shaghaf Oud there is no way Oud Mood will not be liked 🖤🖤🖤 I think temperature control during shipping might be the culprit. Hahaha Ali got to my Liam as you can tell and he bathes in it lol. He asked me to tell Khadlaj to bring back the old Trust DNA as he is in love with that as well. I had a stress overload reaction this weekend and i shut down both mentally and physically. I slept most of the time as my blood pressure for the very first time was quite high. I somehow need to stress less and get more physical activity (big woop). Markus has been aloof off late, I need to give him a lot of attention this weekend 🖤I think he was upset that I was asleep. Oh nooooo... He is wishing Puskin and Sunti a super happy and healthy life 🖤🖤🖤 Love & Light babe...
@@SiminShaikh My beautiful angel, I got all misty eyed reading your warm words about Ameer Al Oudh and Amethyst. Oh, how lovely, but you know what, my hun? Every time I wear Rare Passion or even look at it ( which I do and then I have to sniff it 😅) I see you , I think of you and smile. I see you and feel this is my scent memory also of you wearing it. 😍How incredible is that? I do think of you so often, when I feed the possums, when I experience Tasmania I think oh, Simin would love this, when I see something to do with House of Dragons, Vampires etc. or when something makes me laugh , I think you would also laugh. You are truly in my heart. ❤ I think the colder weather that returned caused pains and the cough got worse. Coming off some meds is not fun at all. I do feel ( or hope) once things settle down, weather wise and medication wise , I will feel better. I am seeing my new doctor in about 11 days again to discuss if I should make an appointment with one of the associates as 18 months is far too long. Still concerned though in regards to all the diets, been through all this many times in the years gone by ( rotation diets, no gluten, no sugar, no this, no taste diets ) without any success. I hope they are not too strict and possible without throwing all the pantry items out. I must admit I do feel anxious about the whole thing, plus the expense involved for tests, supplements and consultations which are not refunded or insured by my or any health insurance. I also am sure my Oud Mood has gone off. I cannot remember now where I got it from. I knew that loving Shaghaf Oud meant I would have to love it or at least like it a lot. Oh, poor hun, that sounds terrible. I had the feeling you were not doing well, this last weekend, you must have been so exhausted and really needed that rest and sleep. ❤ I am sorry about your blood pressure, that is not good at all. I used to have low blood pressure and then suddenly it became high after another illness and refused to come down so sadly I am on medication for this. Mind you I have bad genes as far as this is concerned. I hear you about stressing less and getting more exercise. At the moment this seems ludicrous as every movement hurts 😂 but I will have to start again with baby steps. Poor baby Markus, he missed you, I know ours do this with me when I go MIA due to extra sleep, unless I snooze in the sunroom and am covered in the cats 😻😸😹, but I still need to play with them 😀. I think the new anti fur ball treats are helping a lot, Gerry bought in grass for the babies and Sunti gave us an oh so stinky grass fart, whilst we were watching a TV series and I had to hold a scented candle in front of my nose 🤣😂, it was that bad. Gerry said it was impressive 😂and some other funny things, lots of laughter and it seemed inconceivable that a small beautiful silky creature could have caused such a shocking stench. He looked so innocent but when we started laughing he looked a touch embarrassed and not happy 🙀😼 so I had to explain we were NOT laughing at him 😅🙀😹. We had 3 possums one night here, they were so funny, they come walking right up to the window and Sunti loves watching them but Pushkin does ignore them completely. Sending healing vibes to you, look after yourself and try and relax ( easy to say, I know ) , so much love and light, always, yours Tia ❤💜❤
Hi Sim, fantastic selection of fragrances :) Oud Mood was my first ever oud perfume added into my collection and an absolute love at first sniff - never want to b without it :) x
Hey my hun ❤️ Same. Oud Mood was my gateway into Lattafa perfumes Prior to that i used to use western perfumes mostly. And now all that is behind me lol xo
@@SiminShaikh It was the same with me - oud mood was closely followed by sheikh al shuyukh and it just snowballed from there :) Thanks again for your lovely content - my wishlist growing lol :) x
OMG! I am soooo happy. I get a little worried when people buy it on my rec coz it can be polarizing and you have no idea how good I feel someone loves it ❤❤❤
I received Royal blends gold today! It's a total pineapple bomb to me and i love it! So nice. The 2 only fruit perfumes i have is Ajwad pink. Which i call Nuclear Guava. Haha. And the apple in dylan blue pour femme 😅 Ajwad pink layered with Royal Gold is amazing! But the Ajwad has to be added from a *distance* because it's so insane.
Heya hun ❤ Ooooh enjoy the pineapple opening coz it macerates and changes quite a bit but will remain on the top of your wear list. I am really trying to get with both Ajwad and Ajwad Pink to Pink. They both ahve macerated a bit. But still wayyyy too much for my nose. One with the metal note and the other being the mother of all guavas lol
I have a year old bottle, and Royal Blends gives me a grilled pineapple, slightly boozy, spicy, and delicious scent bomb. Can't wait to wear this fall. Layered with Qaa'ed al Fursan unlimited this summer on vacation,I received lots of compliments, especially on the unique aroma.
@@SiminShaikh I haven't smelled the original Ajwad. Have you reviewed it? I only got the pink one as a large order gift selection. I like it but don't LOVE it. My partner does though so I wear it for him sometimes and I spray it on his pillows 🥰. That guava just beats your ass all freaking day right!? 😂😂 I love strong relentless perfume, but not like that. I must say though, for an absolute beast of a fruit frag it's got an excellent rich base. Just not quite for me either. My all time favorite perfume it's Si intense by Armani. My bottle is 3 years old and it's so rich and dark now 😍
Hola Simin 🙋🏻♀️, me encanta tu canal y tus recomendaciones de perfumes, gracias a ti me inicié en los perfumes árabes y ahora ya no compro ningún perfume occidental, solo los que tu recomiendas, he adquirido algunos y todos me gustan mucho! 🤗❤ Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Simin, this video was just charming.❤ Love all your recommendations and reviews; you and I have similar taste in fragrances on most fronts.🥰 You should do a video on “femme fatale” fragrances! That would be so fun! Thanks for the work you put into your videos; you’re an absolute ray of sunshine.☀️❤
Late to the party here but your videos are *amazing!* I've been searching for scents that suit me for so long, these sound so interesting and luscious. I love your perfume cabinet too, it looks like a magical apothecary 😍
Love Ameer al Oudh Intense and also use the Mohra and Royal Blends. Love me a beast mode ME fragrance! Simin, have you by any chance tried Zikra by Lattafa? I am so close to pulling the trigger on it as the notes look beautiful. Looking stunning as always..your skin is so flawless! Big love to you from the UK.xx
Great video Sim!! I have to ask, have you tried Rose Mystery Intense by Al Wataniah? It's supposed to be an Atomic Rose dupe and people are losing their minds over it on UA-cam and Fragrantica. I ordered it but its not here yet. I'll keep you updated. Have you tried much from this house? Looks like they've got some interesting things. Take care 🤟🏻💜
Thank my hun ❤ I have not ordered something quicker lol. I got it at a very decent price too (USD20). I was not aware of it but have been looking for something that smells close to Atomic Rose, so thanks a bunch babe ❤❤❤ I recently reviewed a few perfumes from al Wataniah. I quite likes Sabah Al Ward, it is a grape jasmine perfume. I also tried Ameerati which is just Ameerat al Arab packed in another bottle, so I was a tad bit disappointed. If you try other from this house, can you please share your experience with me? Much love babe xo
Happy new week my hun ❤ Mondays suck but I am trying to stay positive lol. Babe before you buy Sehr, please remember that it has that suede note. But some people are not getting it. So I wonder what's going on. I wish you could try it somewhere before you buy it ❤
@SiminShaikh The suede and the amount of almond that it has is the reason for the hesitation. I generally don't care for almonds, but I do have one scent that I like with an almond note. I'm going to try to find a decant, I suppose. I'm lazy about it 😆 🤣 😂
I'm not always so sure if I love beast mode. I mean like we came on Saturday to s summer cottage for a week. Ever since arriving I've been wondering about the pleasant but strong kind of smell in my room. Strong enough that my friend mentioned that her dog was smelling of it after visiting my room for awhile. I finally hunted down the item. My light summer coat. I was wondering what and when I've used something smelling anything like that. Must have been couple weeks back at least when I chose to try one evening how strongly oud mood smells on warm summer evening. Too strong to my taste on summer. But the scent sure lasts. Even though I didn't spray straight on the cost, I bet it last couple washes and some. But thank you for the lovely video, I have and love many of these, some I will try in time.
You read my mind! I was thinking, f all these "clean", "unisex", "fresh" scents. I wanna know what Akasha smelled like! What Catwoman smells like. What Morticia smells like. What Stevie Knicks smells like when she turns into the White Witch. What Elvira smells like. And you just said Akasha smells like Amethyst! Lol thats so random, I'd consider it a sign from the fragrance goddesses that I NEED to get it, but I wasn't gonna buy Amethyst because I blind bought Infini Rose already. Instantly, my signature. When another reviewer gave it a 10/10 and said "I imagine this is what Morticia Addams smells like." She sold me and did NOT let me down, and I LOVED it right out of the box, without any maturation/oxidation at all yet, and ordered a backup bottle immediately. I've only ever done that with one other perfume of my whole countless collection--Acqua di Gioia. But Amethyst, according to the notes on Fragrantica, is just IR with oud in the middle and base...and I'm a bit scared of so much oud because I'm told it's kind of an "acquired taste". I blind bought Khamrah and think it smells like...if Santa Claus had a baby with a Christmas tree car air freshener, and they gave birth to it in the dates/spices isle of the local grocery store. It smells cologneish, too, yet I'd not like it on a man. It's too sweet. I should've got the one with coffee. I like coffee notes, but I read it smells even more masculine than Khamrah, so I backed out. But I'll be wearing Khamrah every day in November-January. Lol, I knew it wouldn't be my favorite. My scent profile is obviously very different, but that's why I got it. Because it was something I don't have in my collection, and perhaps it will oxidize well by November, and I'll get that crispy cinnamon apple pie everyone described it as smelling like. I DO like the dates note though. That's not something I've ever had in a perfume before, nor praline so detectable, so I do like that part. Anyway...do you think having both Infini Rose and Amethyst would be redundant? Perhaps not...I'll smell that one 1st before buying but I loved your description of it! Gives me very good expectations and I'd like to add an oud perfume to my collection. Thanks for the reviews! 🖤
Oh my gosh!!! Are we twin souls? 🖤🖤🖤 In my head, Akasha - Amethyst Catwoman - Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold Morticia - Lattafa Emaan Stevie Nicks - Infini Rose Elvira - Club De Nuit Intense Amethyst definitely has a strong oud which makes her a little villainous. Not a blind buy either I reckon. Hahaha I laughed so hard at your description for Khamrah. This is the best yet! The imagery will forever be embossed in my mind lol. In my opinion Inifini Rose and Amethyst are way apart. Amethyst could be Inifini Rose with added Oud, Vanilla and that pink pepper magic. Do try and get a decant though. I have a feeling you will like, this one. You are always welcome babe 🖤
Hi Sim! Have you tried Oud Al Layl by Arabiyat? I have tried to get my hands on it and it lasted for days on my clothes. Longevity was indeed eternal. Hope to see your review of it. More power to you ❤
No kidding about beast mode.! I got musamum white intense on my watch band and it stayed there for two weeks even after washing it. 😅 so basically it’s perfect.
Hi! Love your reviews and descriptions! What are your thoughts on Maison Alhambra versus lattafa? Are they the same quality? Thanks for opening my eyes to the amazing world of Arabic fragrances! 🤩
Hey my beautiful hun ♥️ Unfortunately, in UAE, Maison AlHambra does not sell. There are a few old perfumes in the market that I am not keen on. However, from what I’ve tried Lattafa is now setting off to be more premium compared to the latter and it shows. You are always welcome gorgeous! I hope to keep bringing you some new ones soon ♥️🤗
@SiminShaikh a random follow up question. I blind bought azeezah from lattafa. At first I got grandma vibes, but I warmed up to it and actually really enjoy it now. I'm surprised it's not talked about more. What are your thoughts on it?
Simin hi. I can’t agree with you more about Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud and By the Fireplace being not dupes. I have Ameer and went to a store got a sample of the Fireplace perfume and I get two completely different scents. The Fireplace is undoubtedly burning wood scent and Ameer is not so intense and in your face. It’s simply wearable and yummy to me.
Heya Hun ❤️ Ameer Al Oudh is soooo comforting right?! I am getting a craving for it as we speak lol ❤️❤️❤️ I could not have described them better babe. You have literally said what's been my mind ❤️
Hello beautiful soul. As always I thoroughly enjoyed your video and looking forward to part 2. Waiting for my delivery of Liam, Oud Mood & Mohra Silky Rose...thanks to you! 😊 Love my Musamam White Intense & Ramz Gold also thanks to you. 😊 And of course, I have several from this video & many others from your other videos added to my wishlist lol Blessings & wishing you a wonderful week! ❤
Love your video ❤ I have almost allof this perfumes. You forgot Amir .i just got it for my hobby. Love all of them. specially Sahir Masa and Amethyst. ❤
Hey my hun ❤️ Yea I thought to add Emeer but I really wanted to add the ones I am obsessed with you know. I have given my Emeer to my husband as well ❤️
Would love a vid on layering combos, especially of ME fragrances, but also those with designer/niche. If, of course, you do that. (Remember Musamam WI and Infini Rose!) PS - I so wish MWI had a refill available for that bottle.
If I could show you my notes on layering combos lol. Your suggested combo is on top of my list lol 😂😂😂 I will make the video soon hun. I know it is long overdue. You know you are on to something with refill bottle. I wonder which brand will make the concious effort on this ❤❤❤
@@angelamaiyo2524 It does but I've begun to be less fond of Infini Rose in general. I did layer it the other day with Chloe Lumineuse and that was amazing!
I’m still obsessed with Musamam White Intense. It’s sooo good. I had two women stop and smell me in Walgreens and they made me pull up the link on Amazon 😂
Thanks Sim!! I freaking love your channel so much!! You're my absolute go to Frag sister ❤xx ✅ I received Mohra today! First wear i really struggled with. But my gosh, every time i spray her she seems... Different!? I'm really liking it and it's now reminding me of boss the scent for her parfum edition. ✅ Oud for glory is 10/10 to me 😍 I bought it for my bf and he loves it and i love to wear it too! Absolutely must have ❤ ✅ Oud Mood. Oh my God ❤ fave!! Can anyone tell me how she agrees? I want to wear it more but want her to age. It's only been 3 months and hasn't noticed much difference yet. Speaking of coffee, my bf chose eternal coffee by Paris corner in today's package. Oh my gosh it's utterly DEVINE. It's so lovely and sweet and the coffee is 😘👌🏻 I also received Eclair. The fuss is real. I was worried when the caramel now faded as quick as it did but then sinking into that fluffy sweet vanilla milkshake/icecream was to die for. Never smelt anything close to how utterly lactonic it is. So happy that note stays sweet and fluffy on me! It turned sour on my bf pretty quickly unfortunately. For him 😆 Eclair + eternal coffee layered is INSANE 🎉 TOMORROW i receive Teriaq and Khamrah ❤😭❤️😭 I'm so freaking excited!!!
You are a goth girlie like me aren't youuuu!!! My perfume taste is very dark as well. All the perfumes you listed are my forever frags. Thank you my hun xo Thank you for your kindness ❤❤❤ Just give Mohra a bit room to settle. It gets more and more beautiful. Should I try Eternal Coffee lol. I am so nervous after the coffee trauma of 2023 lol. Ok you know what? I will get it. Just coz of your suggested layering combination as well hehehe. OMG!!!! I am so excited for Khamrah for you ❤❤❤ It will also layer very well with rose perfumes and vanilla ones. I am still trying to get with Teriaq. I hope it macerates into something I like. I am excited for youuuu!!!!! xo
@@SiminShaikh I am my sister! 😁🖤💅🏼 Hehe I can't wait to watch Mohra evolve! I had a good idea recently and would love to know what you think! Which is to decant 5/10ml into little labeled test sprayers and use those for perfume which need to age. Because 1: decanting speeds up oxidisation as it's sprayed into the vial. 2: More air in the actual perfume bottles apparently helps with aging. 3: I can see how much is in it which (might) prevent me from using them too much prematurely 😂. The sprayers are on their way 😁 As for Eternal coffee, it's a lovely sweet almost boozy coffee. To me it actually smells like the liquor called Khalua which I quite like. But, I must warn you, even for a brand new only opened two days ago perfume, performance is abysmal! Literally skin accent in 30 minutes. Very sad. Hopefully it will mature and darken and strengthen it's grip! Oh!! I'm going to layer Eclair with Intense Cafe tomorrow 😯 I will report back! And as for Teriaq. You can't get with it quite yet. Have you figured out why that is yet? It certainly is different! I like her a whole lot. She's very strange, but for me, in a very lean into it way. Here's the crazy thing. I thought myself mad at first but last night I caught a waft off myself and it immediately made me think of Mon Guerlain intense 🤔 So I put it and Teriaq on each hand and... What the heck!? They do not smell the same. However somehow they do!? Seriously, Teriaq is the too cool, side smirk, dark humor, moody but sexy "don't talk to me" caramel sister. The other is the mature sweetheart, ride or die, hot housewife floral sister. Mum immediately smelt what I was seeing! Amazing!
My beautiful Simin looking so fresh and radiant, like you’re about to go for a vacation and walk down the lovely streets of a city in Europe 😍❤️ I’m always so obsessed with your looks!
U made me buy Amethyst and when i worn it i felt overwhelmed and didnt like it but 2 people at my work place asked me about what im wearning. Now im kinda loving it😂❤
Hey my hun ❤ Oh yes! Amethyst is quite heady and dark. Just let it sit for 2 months and I promise you will like it even better. Everyone around loves it on me ❤ And I am obviously obsessed with it xo
Hi, Sim! I'm still not using my Ameer al Oud Intense decant after testing it. Apart from not being used to oud scent, the Philippines is still too hot despite typhoons. Pretty sure these kinds of perfumes will be overwhelming for everyone. I'm really going to buy a decant for Liam Gray. Perhaps you can make a summer edition of long-wearing perfumes? And also, are there oriental perfumes out there that do not have oud in them? Take care always, Sim. ❤
Hey Beaurtiful ❤ Yea, that is the same reason why I dont use Ameer al Oudh often, although sometimes I sneak it into my nighttime routine lol. Sure my hun ❤ I will try and make one video on "Oudless Glories" lol ❤❤❤ You too my hun and have an awesome day ahead xo
I love that you love Anne Rice! The Queen of the Damned is a complicated character. What would Lestat wear? Oooh, Merrick or Merrique? I want to know what you think she would wear... She is rum and coffee and candles and pearls, French and Africaine...
One can pay an absolute fortune for Oud. I made Bakhoor (which took only TWO years to cure). Its lovely, but it just would not dry out. I was looking everywhere for ouds.
Hello Simin. This is my first time watching you and can’t take my eyes off the video. You are impressively knowledgeable and beautiful. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your time
Hey beautiful my hun! Welcome to the fam, so happy to have you here ♥️ You will come across so many amazing like minded people here. Thank you for subbing babe ❤️ xo
Hi queen, you describe amethyst just like I love it 😂😂😂😂 . It is sadistic and demand respect for very dominant people . Nabeel irth and amberley oud are the same , queen of femme fatale perfumes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Heya babe 🖤🖤🖤 Oooooh I am on it!!! I am searching here for Irth and Amberley Oud. Found Irth but no Amberly Oud sigh... Lemme see how I can source them ❤
I was scared to try Amethyst, but to my surprise it’s not that loud at all. To me, it’s a deep, dark red semi sweet rose with a vanilla background. After I did one spray, I added two more and no one was choked out 😂 Definitely a night time scent for me though. It’s lovely ❤ I’m going to try layering Liam with Crystal Noir. That sounds like it will be amazing! I’ve been stalking Musamam White Intense. It’s been sold out in Canada for a while.
Amethyst makes me feel certain ways and I cannot even describe it. It is very dark indeed ❤️❤️❤️ Yea whats up with the supply of Musamam White. But babe pls don't buy it at 60USD. Thats too high of a price.
I'm loving Sehr, great for layering with other almond or cherry fragrances too when it gets colder. I'm nearly half way through my Musamam White Intense.
Thanks you Simin for the review .. I have most of these fragrances .. I like Musamam white intense however I can barely smell it on me, does it needs to macerate? I go completely anosmic to it .😢
Hey my Hun ❤ Musamam White is quite potent. So I am making an assumption here that you are getting anosmic. Try and ask people around you if they can smell it. After maceration the perfume does get stronger and smoother ❤❤❤
Thank you for your videos, Simin. I bought Mohra some months ago and I was so dissappointed when it arrived that I thought about decluttering it. Luckily enough I was patient and after 4 months maceration it has become fenomenal. Looking forward for winter to wear it.
Hey my hun ❤ Oh gosh yes. I remember, Mohra initially was not one of my av, but like your experience, mine macerated into something so wonderful as well. Stunning beauty for winter for sure ❤❤❤
Thank you, Simin! What would you suggest for me to buy my hubby for his bday as his first Middle Eastern cologne? Sauvage and Boss Number One are his current favorites.
Hey my hun ❤️ Happy Birthday to your husband and how sweet are you to get him some ME beauties. While I might not be the best person to advice on men's fragrances a few I think he would like are Lattafa Fakhar Black, Club De Nuit Urban Man, Al Haramain Detour Noir. I hope this helps hun ❤️
Hello my beautiful Sim, you convinced me to get Sehr and I love it❤ The bottle fits with the juice, over the top, can’t be ignored. I Love Amethyst and Khamrah Qahwa. My nephew smelled my Liam grey and loved it, so I had to give it to him. Thank you for teaching me and guiding me❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤️ Yayyyy!!! I am so happy you liked it, I think Sehr is an easy like plus the whole packaging experience is undeniably enjoyable ❤️ You are always welcome babe. We learn everyday from each other. Soooo much love your way hun xo
Hi Simin please advise me if it is worth buying Oud Mood if I already have Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition? Are they really similar? Which one has better parameters? Best regards 😊
Hey my hun I’ve asked Khadlaj and they are working hard on keeping the stocks up to date. Just keep a watch for it ♥️ Think prime day for discounts too ♥️
Liam was such a surprising fragrance to my nose. I mean I knew it resembles Gris Charnel which is way out of my budget, but Liam, wow. Economical, long lasting and unique ❤️
I cant find musamam white anywhere in my country :( do you think i could layer liam with a crystal noir dupe (maison alhambra) to get the same effect?? i generally love gourmand or girlie perfumes like nebras and haya, but liam has completely changed my outlooks on perfumes. Do you have any other middle eastern recommendations like liam? xx
Oh no. I am so sorry. I wonder why these perfumes have such poor logistics ❤ The layering combo sound good hun but it wont smell the same as Musamam White coz of the lack of citrus. Musamam smells like a tropical version Crystal Noir. I myself used to feel I am a goth perfume lover but recently found myself gravitating toward girlie-girl and Oriental fragrances like Liam. If I find something in the same Genre, I will share it for sure xo
I don't think Sehr has two formulations, but that some people only get vanilla, others get the other notes as well. My friend managed to get a bottle before it sold out, and she gets the vanilla bomb, while I clearly smell the othes notes on her as well.
Question ⁉️ Any layering that anyone can recommend to make Liam Grey less masculine? It does pull very masculine on me , I just want it to smell slightly sweeter? IDK. For reference I own , Vanilla 28, eclair, Nebras and love don't be shy as my go to sweet fragrances. I still like Liam, I just want to make it work better for my tastes.❤❤
Hey hun ❤️ Since it has fig and black tea, citrus and woods will make it more masculine. Florals will clash but you might want to try adding a soft rose. But I think what would work best is a milky perfume like Eclaire. Lemme try them out for you at home and reply back.
@@SiminShaikh ahhh ❤️❤️ didn't think you, yourself would reply!! So excited 😆😆😂😂🥰🥰. Thank you! I'll be waiting for your experiment results. I'm not as brave 😂❤️❤️❤️
I am in LOVE with Musamam White Intense!! This was a blind buy for me and it was so worth it!! ❤️ I am currently stuck between purchasing Sehr or Khamrah next. Which would you prefer for someone who absolutely loves something like Musamam White Intense?
Hey my hun ❤️ I am so happy you like Musamam White. It is one of my favs ever. Unfortunately you cannot compare Sehr or Khamrah with it. they are two different genres. In my humble opinion Sehr is more of an easier blind buy though.
Oddly, my bottle of amethyst has been leaking around the atomiser recently. I find honour & glory has a better atomiser but, to me, that smells quite medicinal. Amethyst is a fragrance that at time, I love but often it is too much
Oh noooooo!!!I hate it when such things happen :( Just let the Honor & Glory macerate a bit and see the creamy magic happen babe. Can you somehow decant the Amethyst? My OCD just flared up ❤
@@SiminShaikh I was just going to leave the amethyst, since it isn’t *too* bad. I think Honour & Glory is macerated but I have a scent association of the pineapple/turmeric with medicine. It is the only perfume I own that my brother likes but he doesn’t use them.
@@SiminShaikh owww!! I asked because i have heard that rifaqat is a much better dupe of babycat, i have rifaqat & absolutely love it.. one of my friends hated ishq al shuyukh & was hesitant to buy rifaqat but she finally caved after seeking how much i like it & she loved rifaqat too.. i think ishq al shuyukh has some batch discrepancies that's why some love it others hate it 🤔
Oh no ❤ Babe, just try and spray out three sprays every week for it to macerate faster. I have heard many people sharing the same experience as you, so you are not alone.
@SiminShaikh I just got Al Watinah Rose Mystery Intense. Similar design of bottle to Amethyst. Shocked that it smells so close to Amethyst without the gasoline note.
I have been very surprised to see Middle Eastern perfumes pop up in Burlington. It might be worth it for us Americans to check out your local Burlington. I've seen Layali, Qaed al Fursan, Casablanca, Shaghaf Oud, and Oud for Glory at mine!
I’m going to have to check out Burlington near me here in DFW
That’s good info thanks!
Oh gosh! I hope a looooot that they are at the same prices are in the UAE. How cool it will be to just go down to your local Burlington and grab your fav ME perfumes 🖤🖤🖤
They are ranging from $20-$30 so pretty much the same as Amazon prices
Thanks so much for sharing❤. Now I need to make a Burlington run.😂
Sehr, Masa and Amethyst are officially added to my wishlist 😫😫😫💸💸💸
You are like a lil devil on my shoulder that whisper to my ear: buuuy this, buuuy that! 😂
Lattafa should pay you big money! 💜
Hahahaha babe....Im so sorryyyyy.... ❤❤❤
Now every time I will sit in front of the camera to film, I will picture myself as the little perfume devil on everyone's shoulders 😂😂😂
@@SiminShaikh you really are, in each and every video I'm convinced to buy all the perfume you recommend 💰
Thank you for saying it out loud, Simin! Oud Bouquet is a beautiful fragrance. However, that DNA is traditional ME, generations old. The Middle Eastern fragrance market owns that DNA. I was able to trace its history going back around 300 yrs. I'm sure more research could take me back further. I think some credit is due here! 😊 ❤ Thank you, Simin ❤❤❤
Wow babe ❤ Thank you for this info. 300 years wow. I was thinking maybe 100 years or so. I learn something new everyday.
And you are so right. I have been smelling this DNA since childhood. In different variations, but the original "Mukhallat" (Blend) remains the same.
So much love your way my hun ❤
@SiminShaikh, that's around the time a more commercialized 1920's, or so market really appeared (give or take). These various DNA blends were used in oils/attars from what I was reading and later in Parfum... . Anyway, it traveled East to West very late Renaissance.
The history of perfume in the Middle East dates back to around 7000 BC, when the first vases that could be considered perfume and cosmetics appeared. The Arab world was among the first to refine the art of extracting oils from flowers, herbs, and woods, and by the seventh century, Arabs were using scented oils and ointments on their bodies. Perfumes were used for many purposes, including:
Personal hygiene and health
Spiritual devotion
Cultural expression
Religious ceremonies
Improving appearance
Attracting the opposite sex
Hospitality
The use of incense, which was rich in resins like frankincense and myrrh, was especially important in religious ceremonies. Arab doctors also prescribed perfumes for medicinal purposes by the ninth century.
The Crusades (1096-1291) were a key time for the introduction of perfumes in the West, as soldiers returning to Europe brought perfumes and essences with them. These perfumes reached European courts through Al-Andalus in the west, and with the crusaders in the east. For example, returning crusaders brought eggs and floral perfumes to Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries. The arrival of the Arabs in Spain also led to perfume traveling to France, where it could be industrialized. Granada and Seville became important perfume centers, comparable to Baghdad and Damascus.
My top three favorite perfumes are: Versace Crystal Noir, Mugler Alien and Armaf Club de nuit intense... and the way you described Amethyst, I know it will be my fourth favorite perfume! 😍 I'm already obsessed hahah btw... I just ordered it, thank you Simin! 😃🤗🖤❤🥀
Please tell your experience, I'm also planning to buy it😅
Oh em geeee!!! I think I am your twin soul. Everything you listed here are my absolute must haves! Goth at heart for life!!!! 🖤🖤🖤
@@SiminShaikh I own and love Club de nuit intense, would it be redundant to have Amethyst as well in a small / modest collection?
I do LOVE this video!!! Thank you. And I have to say that thanks to your reviews I already have Amethyst , that I adore, Liam, gorgeous scent, Oud Mood, a perfect classic oud. Now I'm gonna buy for sure Sehr and Musamam white intense.Looking forward for your next video, blessings!
OMG!!!! I am so excited for you. Everytime anyone says they will buy Musamam White, I get happy as though I am making money from it lol. But I just feel happy coz I miss the feeling of smelling it the first time ❤❤❤ Veryyyyy excited for you. Sehr is also an excellent buy.
So much love your way babe xo
@@SiminShaikh 😍😍😍
I adore seeing you talk about perfumes you love! Your excitement over the scents is infectious and always puts me in a great mood, making me want to go raid my perfume stash and put a bunch of them on at once 😆❤️ LOVE Musamam, Mohra, Amethyst and Khamrah Qahwa 😍
Very much enjoy this deep dive into your collection.
Would love to see more videos like this, with your own categories. Looots of fun.
Wishing you all the very best!!!!! ❤
Thank you so much my hun ❤
I will make more of these collection style videos. I really need to pause on all the purchases lol (akh... who am I kidding).
Have a beautiful fantastic day babe ❤❤❤
Hey beautiful. I purchased the lattafa oud mood few weeks back and I must say it’s a winner. I’m new to the oud fragrance world and I went for this one because I remember you saying it’s a great oud perfume for beginners. When I smell it, it reminds me on you because I know you love this perfume. Thanks simin. Keep shining beautiful. Sending you loads of love and blessings from UK 🇬🇧 Paula xx
❤ Hi Sim, I have and love Liam, Ameer al Oud Intense and Khamrah Qahwa. I want to take a break with buying new perfumes, but all the others you showed sound so great... 😂
Lots of Love to you! 😊
Hey my Hun ❤️
You are all set for the winter lol. And just as well hun, the prices are very escalated right now.
Soooo much love your way xo ❤️❤️❤️
Always happy to see a new Sim Post!!!
Hehehe thank you so much my hun ❤❤❤
Yeay to "modern oud video"!!!!!!! That sounds so much fun. ❤🎉
Just found your channel and I'm very pleased I did! Enjoying your absolute honesty and knowledge, I adore ME fragrances but some are definitely oudy/animaly/spice overload - and you point this out.
Also I never knew anyone else who used the word "barnyardiness" as a descriptor!
Middle East fragrances are beautiful, I cant remember the last time I bought French fragrance, and you caprure their magic so well.
Hey my hun ❤
Thank you so much for subbing! Every sub means so much to my tiny channel and this beautiful fragrance community.
Hahaha coz I dont like using the words Fecal or Poopy hahahaaaa. I am trying to be Demure lol.
I hope more people discover ME fragrances. They deserve so much love xo
I just love your reviews! Thank you so much for them. Oftentimes I get headaches from some fragrances, however, so far none of the Middle Eastern perfumes I have bought have given me any so I am so excited about buying more and more.
Hey, my hun, thank you for this oh so lovely video, just when I needed this.
You are so lovely and I love watching you talk about these perfumes as you show your passion for these so clearly and explain and describe them perfectly.
I woke up with a stiff neck, stiff spine and shoulders as winter has re appeared with a vengeance 😂and coughing has become a sport for me 🤣😅so I was so sore, cold and with a neck migraine and for the first time ( since I have bought Middle Eastern perfumes ) I felt too ill even to decide which perfume to wear. ( So unlike me to do something like this !) I watched you with heating packs and felt warm and comforted when you mentioned Ameer Al Oud Intense and thought , I have to wear this now (!!!!!!! ) and I paused your video and sprayed it. I felt warm and it was as if the universe gave me a hug and I felt comforted 😀💜. Then I kept watching and you talked about it being warming and comforting ! You are so right. ❤ I truly love this perfume and agree a rose note in this would have been terrible as it would have lost the special feel and just been another rose oud ME scent. The juice has changed into a darker tone and it even looks comforting. Is is strange that I go to sniff this even in summer? 😂
I LOVE 💜 Amethyst sooooooo much. I have worn this in every season and it is my shield to make me feel invincible and on top of my game. It is a perfume for a femme fatale Queen just as you said. Gerry really loves me wearing this. I love Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends so very much, I think I do wear it not as often as some of my other perfumes but like you I actually get cravings for this perfume. I love how it gives me scent memories of wonderful times. I know I will wear this on the anniversary of the day we arrived in Tasmania. I need a perfume like this one for that date as I miss my loved ones and it comforts me as well. To me it is a truly classy scent. I have had people stop me and ask what I was wearing. I always smelled plum in this one. The dry down, oh the dry down is magical. I wish I had not gotten a bad batch of Oud Mood. I am sure I would love it otherwise.
I love Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian , it was the 3rd ME perfume I bought and yet I do not wear it often at all but do sniff the bottle when I get the urge and when I am in the mood to wear it, the dry down is what I adore the most.
Liam is sooooo beautiful, not sharing this one with Gerry 😅, that is mine , mine and mine 😂. He loves it on me and so far thinks it is a feminine scent 😃 so it stays mine. 🙂.
Ok, back to the heat packs and rest. Sending smoochies to Markus, and purrs from our 2 felines.Poor Pushkin and Sunti has been having a lot of fur balls as spring is getting close. I did buy some special treats to help with this. Wishing you a wonderful week and hope you are feeling better. So much love❤💜❤ to you and light💫, yours always, Tia ❤
My beautiful hun 🖤
I was just thinking about you 🖤
You know what's funny? Ameer Al Oudh and Amethyst remind me of you now. Everytime I wear them, I think of you. Its a memory of you which we have not even shared yet. Weird no?
Babe how is the medicine detox going? Your symptoms sound worse. I am not sure if it is getting better or worse. Did you manage to get a closer date for that new docs visit?
Your experience of perfumes and mine are nearly identical. Esp with Royal Blends which not many people get. I am pretty certain you have got a bad batch of the Oud Mood, coz knowing you, it was right up your alley. If you like Shaghaf Oud there is no way Oud Mood will not be liked 🖤🖤🖤 I think temperature control during shipping might be the culprit.
Hahaha Ali got to my Liam as you can tell and he bathes in it lol. He asked me to tell Khadlaj to bring back the old Trust DNA as he is in love with that as well.
I had a stress overload reaction this weekend and i shut down both mentally and physically. I slept most of the time as my blood pressure for the very first time was quite high. I somehow need to stress less and get more physical activity (big woop).
Markus has been aloof off late, I need to give him a lot of attention this weekend 🖤I think he was upset that I was asleep.
Oh nooooo... He is wishing Puskin and Sunti a super happy and healthy life 🖤🖤🖤
Love & Light babe...
@@SiminShaikh My beautiful angel, I got all misty eyed reading your warm words about Ameer Al Oudh and Amethyst. Oh, how lovely, but you know what, my hun? Every time I wear Rare Passion or even look at it ( which I do and then I have to sniff it 😅) I see you , I think of you and smile. I see you and feel this is my scent memory also of you wearing it. 😍How incredible is that? I do think of you so often, when I feed the possums, when I experience Tasmania I think oh, Simin would love this, when I see something to do with House of Dragons, Vampires etc. or when something makes me laugh , I think you would also laugh.
You are truly in my heart. ❤
I think the colder weather that returned caused pains and the cough got worse. Coming off some meds is not fun at all. I do feel ( or hope) once things settle down, weather wise and medication wise , I will feel better. I am seeing my new doctor in about 11 days again to discuss if I should make an appointment with one of the associates as 18 months is far too long. Still concerned though in regards to all the diets, been through all this many times in the years gone by ( rotation diets, no gluten, no sugar, no this, no taste diets ) without any success. I hope they are not too strict and possible without throwing all the pantry items out. I must admit I do feel anxious about the whole thing, plus the expense involved for tests, supplements and consultations which are not refunded or insured by my or any health insurance.
I also am sure my Oud Mood has gone off. I cannot remember now where I got it from. I knew that loving Shaghaf Oud meant I would have to love it or at least like it a lot.
Oh, poor hun, that sounds terrible. I had the feeling you were not doing well, this last weekend, you must have been so exhausted and really needed that rest and sleep. ❤ I am sorry about your blood pressure, that is not good at all. I used to have low blood pressure and then suddenly it became high after another illness and refused to come down so sadly I am on medication for this. Mind you I have bad genes as far as this is concerned.
I hear you about stressing less and getting more exercise. At the moment this seems ludicrous as every movement hurts 😂 but I will have to start again with baby steps.
Poor baby Markus, he missed you, I know ours do this with me when I go MIA due to extra sleep, unless I snooze in the sunroom and am covered in the cats 😻😸😹, but I still need to play with them 😀. I think the new anti fur ball treats are helping a lot, Gerry bought in grass for the babies and Sunti gave us an oh so stinky grass fart, whilst we were watching a TV series and I had to hold a scented candle in front of my nose 🤣😂, it was that bad. Gerry said it was impressive 😂and some other funny things, lots of laughter and it seemed inconceivable that a small beautiful silky creature could have caused such a shocking stench. He looked so innocent but when we started laughing he looked a touch embarrassed and not happy 🙀😼 so I had to explain we were NOT laughing at him 😅🙀😹.
We had 3 possums one night here, they were so funny, they come walking right up to the window and Sunti loves watching them but Pushkin does ignore them completely.
Sending healing vibes to you, look after yourself and try and relax ( easy to say, I know ) , so much love and light, always, yours Tia ❤💜❤
I just simply adore all your videos and all recs are exactly what you say ❤
Thank you soooo much my hun 🖤 I try very hard to relay the perfumes exactly how the smell to my nose (without filters lol). I am so happy it helps xo
Hi Sim, fantastic selection of fragrances :) Oud Mood was my first ever oud perfume added into my collection and an absolute love at first sniff - never want to b without it :) x
Hey my hun ❤️
Same. Oud Mood was my gateway into Lattafa perfumes Prior to that i used to use western perfumes mostly. And now all that is behind me lol xo
@@SiminShaikh It was the same with me - oud mood was closely followed by sheikh al shuyukh and it just snowballed from there :) Thanks again for your lovely content - my wishlist growing lol :) x
Got Amethyst on your recommendation and I love it!! 💜
OMG! I am soooo happy. I get a little worried when people buy it on my rec coz it can be polarizing and you have no idea how good I feel someone loves it ❤❤❤
Yes thank you so much for this compilation...I am always looking for long lasting perfumes to wear in office🥰
You are always welcome my hun ❤ I am trying my best to complete all the requested videos xo
I received Royal blends gold today! It's a total pineapple bomb to me and i love it! So nice. The 2 only fruit perfumes i have is Ajwad pink. Which i call Nuclear Guava. Haha. And the apple in dylan blue pour femme 😅
Ajwad pink layered with Royal Gold is amazing! But the Ajwad has to be added from a *distance* because it's so insane.
Heya hun ❤
Ooooh enjoy the pineapple opening coz it macerates and changes quite a bit but will remain on the top of your wear list.
I am really trying to get with both Ajwad and Ajwad Pink to Pink. They both ahve macerated a bit. But still wayyyy too much for my nose. One with the metal note and the other being the mother of all guavas lol
I have a year old bottle, and Royal Blends gives me a grilled pineapple, slightly boozy, spicy, and delicious scent bomb. Can't wait to wear this fall. Layered with Qaa'ed al Fursan unlimited this summer on vacation,I received lots of compliments, especially on the unique aroma.
@@SiminShaikh I haven't smelled the original Ajwad. Have you reviewed it?
I only got the pink one as a large order gift selection. I like it but don't LOVE it. My partner does though so I wear it for him sometimes and I spray it on his pillows 🥰. That guava just beats your ass all freaking day right!? 😂😂 I love strong relentless perfume, but not like that. I must say though, for an absolute beast of a fruit frag it's got an excellent rich base. Just not quite for me either.
My all time favorite perfume it's Si intense by Armani. My bottle is 3 years old and it's so rich and dark now 😍
Hola Simin 🙋🏻♀️, me encanta tu canal y tus recomendaciones de perfumes, gracias a ti me inicié en los perfumes árabes y ahora ya no compro ningún perfume occidental, solo los que tu recomiendas, he adquirido algunos y todos me gustan mucho! 🤗❤ Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Simin, this video was just charming.❤ Love all your recommendations and reviews; you and I have similar taste in fragrances on most fronts.🥰 You should do a video on “femme fatale” fragrances! That would be so fun! Thanks for the work you put into your videos; you’re an absolute ray of sunshine.☀️❤
Late to the party here but your videos are *amazing!* I've been searching for scents that suit me for so long, these sound so interesting and luscious. I love your perfume cabinet too, it looks like a magical apothecary 😍
Love Ameer al Oudh Intense and also use the Mohra and Royal Blends. Love me a beast mode ME fragrance! Simin, have you by any chance tried Zikra by Lattafa? I am so close to pulling the trigger on it as the notes look beautiful. Looking stunning as always..your skin is so flawless! Big love to you from the UK.xx
I got myself the Zikra and oh my, it's juts stunning!xx
Great video Sim!! I have to ask, have you tried Rose Mystery Intense by Al Wataniah?
It's supposed to be an Atomic Rose dupe and people are losing their minds over it on UA-cam and Fragrantica.
I ordered it but its not here yet. I'll keep you updated.
Have you tried much from this house? Looks like they've got some interesting things. Take care 🤟🏻💜
Thank my hun ❤
I have not ordered something quicker lol. I got it at a very decent price too (USD20). I was not aware of it but have been looking for something that smells close to Atomic Rose, so thanks a bunch babe ❤❤❤
I recently reviewed a few perfumes from al Wataniah. I quite likes Sabah Al Ward, it is a grape jasmine perfume. I also tried Ameerati which is just Ameerat al Arab packed in another bottle, so I was a tad bit disappointed. If you try other from this house, can you please share your experience with me?
Much love babe xo
Happy Saturday Beautiful Simin❤❤❤❤
I'm still debating on Sehr! It sounds great but I'm still on the fence.
Happy new week my hun ❤
Mondays suck but I am trying to stay positive lol.
Babe before you buy Sehr, please remember that it has that suede note. But some people are not getting it. So I wonder what's going on. I wish you could try it somewhere before you buy it ❤
@SiminShaikh The suede and the amount of almond that it has is the reason for the hesitation. I generally don't care for almonds, but I do have one scent that I like with an almond note. I'm going to try to find a decant, I suppose. I'm lazy about it 😆 🤣 😂
I'm not always so sure if I love beast mode. I mean like we came on Saturday to s summer cottage for a week. Ever since arriving I've been wondering about the pleasant but strong kind of smell in my room. Strong enough that my friend mentioned that her dog was smelling of it after visiting my room for awhile.
I finally hunted down the item. My light summer coat. I was wondering what and when I've used something smelling anything like that. Must have been couple weeks back at least when I chose to try one evening how strongly oud mood smells on warm summer evening. Too strong to my taste on summer.
But the scent sure lasts. Even though I didn't spray straight on the cost, I bet it last couple washes and some.
But thank you for the lovely video, I have and love many of these, some I will try in time.
You read my mind! I was thinking, f all these "clean", "unisex", "fresh" scents. I wanna know what Akasha smelled like! What Catwoman smells like. What Morticia smells like. What Stevie Knicks smells like when she turns into the White Witch. What Elvira smells like. And you just said Akasha smells like Amethyst! Lol thats so random, I'd consider it a sign from the fragrance goddesses that I NEED to get it, but I wasn't gonna buy Amethyst because I blind bought Infini Rose already. Instantly, my signature. When another reviewer gave it a 10/10 and said "I imagine this is what Morticia Addams smells like." She sold me and did NOT let me down, and I LOVED it right out of the box, without any maturation/oxidation at all yet, and ordered a backup bottle immediately. I've only ever done that with one other perfume of my whole countless collection--Acqua di Gioia. But Amethyst, according to the notes on Fragrantica, is just IR with oud in the middle and base...and I'm a bit scared of so much oud because I'm told it's kind of an "acquired taste".
I blind bought Khamrah and think it smells like...if Santa Claus had a baby with a Christmas tree car air freshener, and they gave birth to it in the dates/spices isle of the local grocery store. It smells cologneish, too, yet I'd not like it on a man. It's too sweet. I should've got the one with coffee. I like coffee notes, but I read it smells even more masculine than Khamrah, so I backed out. But I'll be wearing Khamrah every day in November-January. Lol, I knew it wouldn't be my favorite. My scent profile is obviously very different, but that's why I got it. Because it was something I don't have in my collection, and perhaps it will oxidize well by November, and I'll get that crispy cinnamon apple pie everyone described it as smelling like. I DO like the dates note though. That's not something I've ever had in a perfume before, nor praline so detectable, so I do like that part.
Anyway...do you think having both Infini Rose and Amethyst would be redundant? Perhaps not...I'll smell that one 1st before buying but I loved your description of it! Gives me very good expectations and I'd like to add an oud perfume to my collection. Thanks for the reviews! 🖤
Oh my gosh!!! Are we twin souls? 🖤🖤🖤
In my head,
Akasha - Amethyst
Catwoman - Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold
Morticia - Lattafa Emaan
Stevie Nicks - Infini Rose
Elvira - Club De Nuit Intense
Amethyst definitely has a strong oud which makes her a little villainous. Not a blind buy either I reckon.
Hahaha I laughed so hard at your description for Khamrah. This is the best yet! The imagery will forever be embossed in my mind lol.
In my opinion Inifini Rose and Amethyst are way apart. Amethyst could be Inifini Rose with added Oud, Vanilla and that pink pepper magic. Do try and get a decant though. I have a feeling you will like, this one.
You are always welcome babe 🖤
Hi Sim! Have you tried Oud Al Layl by Arabiyat? I have tried to get my hands on it and it lasted for days on my clothes. Longevity was indeed eternal. Hope to see your review of it. More power to you ❤
This video is 10/10❤
Hehehehe I dunno why I ready the "10/10" in my own voice 😂😂😂
No kidding about beast mode.! I got musamum white intense on my watch band and it stayed there for two weeks even after washing it. 😅 so basically it’s perfect.
Thank you for doing this !!!
My hun, you are always welcome ❤❤❤
Hi! Love your reviews and descriptions! What are your thoughts on Maison Alhambra versus lattafa? Are they the same quality?
Thanks for opening my eyes to the amazing world of Arabic fragrances! 🤩
Hey my beautiful hun ♥️
Unfortunately, in UAE, Maison AlHambra does not sell. There are a few old perfumes in the market that I am not keen on. However, from what I’ve tried Lattafa is now setting off to be more premium compared to the latter and it shows.
You are always welcome gorgeous! I hope to keep bringing you some new ones soon ♥️🤗
@SiminShaikh a random follow up question. I blind bought azeezah from lattafa. At first I got grandma vibes, but I warmed up to it and actually really enjoy it now. I'm surprised it's not talked about more. What are your thoughts on it?
Hi Simin, such a pleasant video❤. Thank you❤❤❤
Thank you my hun ❤ I try spend a lot of time editing so that the viewing experience for you is enjoyable xo. I am so happy you like it ❤
Simin hi. I can’t agree with you more about Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud and By the Fireplace being not dupes. I have Ameer and went to a store got a sample of the Fireplace perfume and I get two completely different scents. The Fireplace is undoubtedly burning wood scent and Ameer is not so intense and in your face. It’s simply wearable and yummy to me.
Heya Hun ❤️
Ameer Al Oudh is soooo comforting right?! I am getting a craving for it as we speak lol ❤️❤️❤️ I could not have described them better babe. You have literally said what's been my mind ❤️
Beautiful choices ❤ My Amethyst is still smelling of rubber. Got it last November. It's got a lovely spicy note, so I'm not giving up on it yet.
Thank you beautiful ❤
Oh noooo... There are many people facing the same problem with amethyst. I wonder if it is a skin chemistry issue.
My next full size purchase is going to be Sehr. I love it so much, and I love the bottle as well. It really stands out.
Sehr is definitely something you should have. It is a look at me perfume. Like literally from the bottle to the juice lol ❤️❤️❤️
Hello beautiful soul. As always I thoroughly enjoyed your video and looking forward to part 2. Waiting for my delivery of Liam, Oud Mood & Mohra Silky Rose...thanks to you! 😊 Love my Musamam White Intense & Ramz Gold also thanks to you. 😊 And of course, I have several from this video & many others from your other videos added to my wishlist lol Blessings & wishing you a wonderful week! ❤
As always i enjoyed watching your reviews greetings from the Netherlands
Babe ❤❤❤ I have missed you! I remember you have been with me since over a year xo. Thank you for this really❤
Buen día!!! Gracias por tus recomendaciones!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷😘
Hola mi hermoso cariño ❤
Gracias por estar siempre aquí conmigo. mucho amor desde Dubai ❤
Very good habibi keep it up
Love your video ❤ I have almost allof this perfumes. You forgot Amir .i just got it for my hobby. Love all of them. specially Sahir Masa and Amethyst. ❤
Hey my hun ❤️ Yea I thought to add Emeer but I really wanted to add the ones I am obsessed with you know. I have given my Emeer to my husband as well ❤️
Would love a vid on layering combos, especially of ME fragrances, but also those with designer/niche. If, of course, you do that. (Remember Musamam WI and Infini Rose!) PS - I so wish MWI had a refill available for that bottle.
If I could show you my notes on layering combos lol. Your suggested combo is on top of my list lol 😂😂😂 I will make the video soon hun. I know it is long overdue.
You know you are on to something with refill bottle. I wonder which brand will make the concious effort on this ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh Oh, I'm sure your notes are extensive! That's why I know it will make for a great vid. And you're always fun to watch.
@@SiminShaikh There are some that do, like Dries van Noten. And when you have a super fancy bottle, why not refill it rather than dispose of it?
Hi, does Musammam and Infini rose work well and a layering combo?
@@angelamaiyo2524 It does but I've begun to be less fond of Infini Rose in general. I did layer it the other day with Chloe Lumineuse and that was amazing!
I’m still obsessed with Musamam White Intense. It’s sooo good. I had two women stop and smell me in Walgreens and they made me pull up the link on Amazon 😂
Always lovely to see your face ❤
You're the best my hun ❤
Well, I just bought Amethyst and Khamrah Qahwa LOL. You are a dangerous channel. I always get the must haves watching your videos
Oh noooo!!!I am so sorry babe ❤❤❤ Perfumes are my absolute weakness ❤
Thanks Sim!! I freaking love your channel so much!! You're my absolute go to Frag sister ❤xx
✅ I received Mohra today!
First wear i really struggled with. But my gosh, every time i spray her she seems... Different!?
I'm really liking it and it's now reminding me of boss the scent for her parfum edition.
✅ Oud for glory is 10/10 to me 😍
I bought it for my bf and he loves it and i love to wear it too! Absolutely must have ❤
✅ Oud Mood. Oh my God ❤ fave!! Can anyone tell me how she agrees? I want to wear it more but want her to age. It's only been 3 months and hasn't noticed much difference yet.
Speaking of coffee, my bf chose eternal coffee by Paris corner in today's package. Oh my gosh it's utterly DEVINE. It's so lovely and sweet and the coffee is 😘👌🏻
I also received Eclair. The fuss is real. I was worried when the caramel now faded as quick as it did but then sinking into that fluffy sweet vanilla milkshake/icecream was to die for. Never smelt anything close to how utterly lactonic it is. So happy that note stays sweet and fluffy on me! It turned sour on my bf pretty quickly unfortunately. For him 😆 Eclair + eternal coffee layered is INSANE 🎉
TOMORROW i receive Teriaq and Khamrah ❤😭❤️😭
I'm so freaking excited!!!
You are a goth girlie like me aren't youuuu!!!
My perfume taste is very dark as well. All the perfumes you listed are my forever frags. Thank you my hun xo Thank you for your kindness ❤❤❤
Just give Mohra a bit room to settle. It gets more and more beautiful.
Should I try Eternal Coffee lol. I am so nervous after the coffee trauma of 2023 lol. Ok you know what? I will get it. Just coz of your suggested layering combination as well hehehe.
OMG!!!! I am so excited for Khamrah for you ❤❤❤ It will also layer very well with rose perfumes and vanilla ones.
I am still trying to get with Teriaq. I hope it macerates into something I like.
I am excited for youuuu!!!!! xo
@@SiminShaikh I am my sister! 😁🖤💅🏼 Hehe
I can't wait to watch Mohra evolve!
I had a good idea recently and would love to know what you think! Which is to decant 5/10ml into little labeled test sprayers and use those for perfume which need to age. Because 1: decanting speeds up oxidisation as it's sprayed into the vial. 2: More air in the actual perfume bottles apparently helps with aging. 3: I can see how much is in it which (might) prevent me from using them too much prematurely 😂. The sprayers are on their way 😁
As for Eternal coffee, it's a lovely sweet almost boozy coffee. To me it actually smells like the liquor called Khalua which I quite like.
But, I must warn you, even for a brand new only opened two days ago perfume, performance is abysmal! Literally skin accent in 30 minutes. Very sad. Hopefully it will mature and darken and strengthen it's grip!
Oh!! I'm going to layer Eclair with Intense Cafe tomorrow 😯 I will report back!
And as for Teriaq. You can't get with it quite yet. Have you figured out why that is yet? It certainly is different! I like her a whole lot. She's very strange, but for me, in a very lean into it way. Here's the crazy thing. I thought myself mad at first but last night I caught a waft off myself and it immediately made me think of Mon Guerlain intense 🤔
So I put it and Teriaq on each hand and... What the heck!? They do not smell the same. However somehow they do!? Seriously, Teriaq is the too cool, side smirk, dark humor, moody but sexy "don't talk to me" caramel sister. The other is the mature sweetheart, ride or die, hot housewife floral sister.
Mum immediately smelt what I was seeing! Amazing!
My beautiful Simin looking so fresh and radiant, like you’re about to go for a vacation and walk down the lovely streets of a city in Europe 😍❤️ I’m always so obsessed with your looks!
Ur make up is always beautiful and ur lip color is amazing
Thank you my hun ❤
I forgot to change the image in my Thumbnail lol. My brain is in shutdown mode ❤
U made me buy Amethyst and when i worn it i felt overwhelmed and didnt like it but 2 people at my work place asked me about what im wearning. Now im kinda loving it😂❤
Hey my hun ❤
Oh yes! Amethyst is quite heady and dark. Just let it sit for 2 months and I promise you will like it even better. Everyone around loves it on me ❤ And I am obviously obsessed with it xo
Love love your videos and your makeup always look stunning!
Thank you my hun ❤️ I thought you would get bored of the same boring makeup I do every time lol
Wow wow wow simin thankyouuuu........😊😘
Hehehe you are always welcome beautiful soul ❤❤❤
Hi, Sim! I'm still not using my Ameer al Oud Intense decant after testing it. Apart from not being used to oud scent, the Philippines is still too hot despite typhoons. Pretty sure these kinds of perfumes will be overwhelming for everyone. I'm really going to buy a decant for Liam Gray.
Perhaps you can make a summer edition of long-wearing perfumes? And also, are there oriental perfumes out there that do not have oud in them?
Take care always, Sim. ❤
Hey Beaurtiful ❤
Yea, that is the same reason why I dont use Ameer al Oudh often, although sometimes I sneak it into my nighttime routine lol.
Sure my hun ❤ I will try and make one video on "Oudless Glories" lol ❤❤❤
You too my hun and have an awesome day ahead xo
Please do a lattafa version for the men
I love that you love Anne Rice! The Queen of the Damned is a complicated character. What would Lestat wear? Oooh, Merrick or Merrique? I want to know what you think she would wear... She is rum and coffee and candles and pearls, French and Africaine...
You make me a promise of doing a middle easter tuberose scents video. I'll always wait for it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maison so candid and it’s flankers❤
Maison alhambra
Oh shoooot!!! Im so sorry hun ❤
I have made a note and I will have this for you soon my hun xo
@@SiminShaikh ❤️💙💛🧡💚🩷💜🩵
One can pay an absolute fortune for Oud. I made Bakhoor (which took only TWO years to cure). Its lovely, but it just would not dry out. I was looking everywhere for ouds.
Hello Simin. This is my first time watching you and can’t take my eyes off the video. You are impressively knowledgeable and beautiful. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your time
Hey beautiful my hun!
Welcome to the fam, so happy to have you here ♥️ You will come across so many amazing like minded people here. Thank you for subbing babe ❤️ xo
Liam❤❤❤❤ a top notch fragrance.
I love it so much that I’m contemplating getting a back up before they discontinue it.
Hehehe yasssss!!! I need a few back up bottles before the prices shoot up lol ❤❤❤
Hi queen, you describe amethyst just like I love it 😂😂😂😂 . It is sadistic and demand respect for very dominant people . Nabeel irth and amberley oud are the same , queen of femme fatale perfumes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Heya babe 🖤🖤🖤
Oooooh I am on it!!! I am searching here for Irth and Amberley Oud. Found Irth but no Amberly Oud sigh... Lemme see how I can source them ❤
@@SiminShaikh i feel you will love irth, specially layering it with sweet lattafa
My amer al oud is just wood/cedar. I don't get sweet. Do you think it will sweeten as it ages, or was yours sweet when it started?
I was scared to try Amethyst, but to my surprise it’s not that loud at all. To me, it’s a deep, dark red semi sweet rose with a vanilla background.
After I did one spray, I added two more and no one was choked out 😂
Definitely a night time scent for me though. It’s lovely ❤
I’m going to try layering Liam with Crystal Noir. That sounds like it will be amazing! I’ve been stalking Musamam White Intense. It’s been sold out in Canada for a while.
I was stalking Musamam White intense but I seen one of the Canadian website and it is $60 dollars
@@ekramabdirahman3746 which website?
Amethyst makes me feel certain ways and I cannot even describe it. It is very dark indeed ❤️❤️❤️
Yea whats up with the supply of Musamam White. But babe pls don't buy it at 60USD. Thats too high of a price.
Love you Simin!
Love you more my hun ❤❤❤
I'm fully subscribed now. I love your reviews. Very apt.❤ I thought I was the only one not feelin' French Coffee. Kawha looks promising.
I'm loving Sehr, great for layering with other almond or cherry fragrances too when it gets colder.
I'm nearly half way through my Musamam White Intense.
Ooooh thats a fantastic idea babe!!! ❤ I cant wait for winter to set in ❤
The rate at which I am using my Musamam White, I will join you soon lol
I want all of them! ❤❤❤
They are quite beautiful hun. One perfume at a time ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks you Simin for the review .. I have most of these fragrances .. I like Musamam white intense however I can barely smell it on me, does it needs to macerate? I go completely anosmic to it .😢
Hey my Hun ❤
Musamam White is quite potent. So I am making an assumption here that you are getting anosmic. Try and ask people around you if they can smell it. After maceration the perfume does get stronger and smoother ❤❤❤
Thanks for your review you make it easier for me to create my wush list ❤️
Happy to help my beautiful hun ❤️
Hello lovely Simin. Just ordered qaed al fursan the black one. I hope it's good ❤😊
It's a pineapple bomb and another beast 💯
Heya my hun ❤❤❤
OMG! That perfume is a bomb!!! But remember to be open minded as it leans a little masculine esp in the opening ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh I love me some masculine fragrances too. I'll love it as It's Simin approved 😁💞
@@lizalauda1903 yay 😁
Hi Sim !!! I love your videos. Can you recommend perfume ( if any) with sent of lily ???? Please ❤
My favorite kind of video ❤
My oud mood took many months to fully macerate bought it almost a year ago and now smells just right
Oh yes! Oud Mood is on of them perfumes that age very well ❤️❤️❤️ Mine also smells so well blended and smooth ❤️
You have a new subscriber
Thank you for your videos, Simin. I bought Mohra some months ago and I was so dissappointed when it arrived that I thought about decluttering it. Luckily enough I was patient and after 4 months maceration it has become fenomenal. Looking forward for winter to wear it.
Hey my hun ❤
Oh gosh yes. I remember, Mohra initially was not one of my av, but like your experience, mine macerated into something so wonderful as well. Stunning beauty for winter for sure ❤❤❤
Do you think liam would work in tropical heat weather? I live in Puerto rico! Profile sounds yummy but affraid it may be more a fall winter scent
Thank you, Simin! What would you suggest for me to buy my hubby for his bday as his first Middle Eastern cologne? Sauvage and Boss Number One are his current favorites.
Hey my hun ❤️
Happy Birthday to your husband and how sweet are you to get him some ME beauties. While I might not be the best person to advice on men's fragrances a few I think he would like are Lattafa Fakhar Black, Club De Nuit Urban Man, Al Haramain Detour Noir.
I hope this helps hun ❤️
@@SiminShaikh Thank you!
Would you recommend masa? I have Leen, do you think it will be redundant?
Hello my beautiful Sim, you convinced me to get Sehr and I love it❤ The bottle fits with the juice, over the top, can’t be ignored. I Love Amethyst and Khamrah Qahwa. My nephew smelled my Liam grey and loved it, so I had to give it to him. Thank you for teaching me and guiding me❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤️
Yayyyy!!! I am so happy you liked it, I think Sehr is an easy like plus the whole packaging experience is undeniably enjoyable ❤️
You are always welcome babe. We learn everyday from each other.
Soooo much love your way hun xo
Im about to buy my first lattafa 😊which should i pick for my first try
Please suggest the one last long and doesnt give me headache😃
Awesomeness. ❤
Thank you my super gorgeous hun ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh You're welcome, beautiful!
Love u, Simin, how i love your clarity. ❤
You are adorable, Simin ❤️.your videos relax me 😘💫😌😋
You are so sweet to leave this comment for me babe ❤ It gives me such boost in confidence. Sooooo much love your way xo
Hi Simin please advise me if it is worth buying Oud Mood if I already have Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition? Are they really similar? Which one has better parameters? Best regards 😊
I see you have empire victor on your shelf. Do you know where I can get that from?
Hey my hun
I’ve asked Khadlaj and they are working hard on keeping the stocks up to date. Just keep a watch for it ♥️ Think prime day for discounts too ♥️
If you have rifaaqat paris corner, try it together with mohra lattafa. It smells like a Royal .
In between getting Fakhar Extrait and Liam grey.. which would you pick?
The only one of these I have on my list is Liam to buy!!
Liam was such a surprising fragrance to my nose. I mean I knew it resembles Gris Charnel which is way out of my budget, but Liam, wow. Economical, long lasting and unique ❤️
You look wonderful my love 💜
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤️ I forgot to change the image in my thumbnail lol
I cant find musamam white anywhere in my country :( do you think i could layer liam with a crystal noir dupe (maison alhambra) to get the same effect?? i generally love gourmand or girlie perfumes like nebras and haya, but liam has completely changed my outlooks on perfumes. Do you have any other middle eastern recommendations like liam? xx
Oh no. I am so sorry. I wonder why these perfumes have such poor logistics ❤
The layering combo sound good hun but it wont smell the same as Musamam White coz of the lack of citrus. Musamam smells like a tropical version Crystal Noir.
I myself used to feel I am a goth perfume lover but recently found myself gravitating toward girlie-girl and Oriental fragrances like Liam. If I find something in the same Genre, I will share it for sure xo
@@SiminShaikh that makes sense i'll try to find musamam then! it seems really special! Thank you so much for helping out
Please do a review on all Shaghaf oud collection.. can’t decide which one to go for
I don't think Sehr has two formulations, but that some people only get vanilla, others get the other notes as well. My friend managed to get a bottle before it sold out, and she gets the vanilla bomb, while I clearly smell the othes notes on her as well.
Amethyst is absolutely GORGEOUS! Im a guy, and Imo the oud makes this more unisex leaning feminine,😉
Question ⁉️ Any layering that anyone can recommend to make Liam Grey less masculine? It does pull very masculine on me , I just want it to smell slightly sweeter? IDK. For reference I own , Vanilla 28, eclair, Nebras and love don't be shy as my go to sweet fragrances. I still like Liam, I just want to make it work better for my tastes.❤❤
Hey hun ❤️
Since it has fig and black tea, citrus and woods will make it more masculine. Florals will clash but you might want to try adding a soft rose. But I think what would work best is a milky perfume like Eclaire. Lemme try them out for you at home and reply back.
@@SiminShaikh ahhh ❤️❤️ didn't think you, yourself would reply!! So excited 😆😆😂😂🥰🥰. Thank you! I'll be waiting for your experiment results. I'm not as brave 😂❤️❤️❤️
I am in LOVE with Musamam White Intense!! This was a blind buy for me and it was so worth it!! ❤️ I am currently stuck between purchasing Sehr or Khamrah next. Which would you prefer for someone who absolutely loves something like Musamam White Intense?
Hey my hun ❤️
I am so happy you like Musamam White. It is one of my favs ever.
Unfortunately you cannot compare Sehr or Khamrah with it. they are two different genres. In my humble opinion Sehr is more of an easier blind buy though.
Is Amethyst Oud based??
Oddly, my bottle of amethyst has been leaking around the atomiser recently. I find honour & glory has a better atomiser but, to me, that smells quite medicinal. Amethyst is a fragrance that at time, I love but often it is too much
Oh noooooo!!!I hate it when such things happen :(
Just let the Honor & Glory macerate a bit and see the creamy magic happen babe.
Can you somehow decant the Amethyst? My OCD just flared up ❤
@@SiminShaikh I was just going to leave the amethyst, since it isn’t *too* bad.
I think Honour & Glory is macerated but I have a scent association of the pineapple/turmeric with medicine. It is the only perfume I own that my brother likes but he doesn’t use them.
Of these I want to get Sehr, Musamam white intense & Khamrah Qawah.
All of them my favs!!! Top 10 fore life! ❤️
Love Qawha ❤
Right?! I dunno why the hype died down though ❤
I am also obsessed of Mussan White Intense, i am on my 3rd botlle of it. I considered it as my signature scent.
Woah!!!! Third bottle! I thought I was obsessed lol. It definitely deserves all the love in the world ❤️❤️❤️ What a beauty ❤️
Hey, does sehr & rifaqat have any similarity?
Heya hun ❤ Oddly enough, I have yet to smell Rifaqat (i know, shame!)
@@SiminShaikh owww!! I asked because i have heard that rifaqat is a much better dupe of babycat, i have rifaqat & absolutely love it.. one of my friends hated ishq al shuyukh & was hesitant to buy rifaqat but she finally caved after seeking how much i like it & she loved rifaqat too.. i think ishq al shuyukh has some batch discrepancies that's why some love it others hate it 🤔
I wish Amethyst loved me as much as I loved it. On me its gasoline and rubber. However, on my son it is everything I wanted to be. 😢
Same as me then 😢. I wear it and nope. On my daughter it smells beautiful! Almost jammie in the dry down. I gave it to her and she loves it!
Yeah, I get the rubber too, even on clothes. Interesting that it changes so much on other people. Will give it a few more months.
Oh no ❤ Babe, just try and spray out three sprays every week for it to macerate faster. I have heard many people sharing the same experience as you, so you are not alone.
@SiminShaikh I just got Al Watinah Rose Mystery Intense. Similar design of bottle to Amethyst. Shocked that it smells so close to Amethyst without the gasoline note.
@@lizalauda1903I just bought Rose Mystery Intense. It smells so similar to Amethyst without that smell.
