I am not a women of colour but can agree that women who comment passive aggressively about perfume or elevated style are usually insecure and jealous. I allowed them to intimidate me for years, and now I’m all about celebrating life. Thank you for your energy and advice.
Myrrh is actually a regal substitute for Oud if you are on a budget, worn by kings for centuries and you can find an authentic Arabic seller on eBay or Amazon
Great tip of adding some oud oil to a ‘young’ perfume as that is often my problem. They seem too childish compared to how I come across. My favourite perfume house is Guerlain and I love almost everything from them. Especially Mitsouko, L’Heure Bleue, and Apres l’Ondee. I have a soft spot for anything violet scented even if it edges towards old lady but it just suits me so well. I’m a regular reader of Fragrantica and so far it’s the best site to get an idea of how a perfume would smell and what notes they have in case of allergies
Violet is very Grasse. A lot of women who complain something is “old lady” simply haven’t had the privilege of having their nose properly trained and would rather wear Britney Spears. Add oud or misk or Boukhour to your perfume and bam it’s sexy & expensive
@@mariaalmasaniroyalhouse9214 agree. I actually laughed when you mentioned your mother getting a lancome perfume because my mother wore those when I was a child and I grew up on them too. Still have a soft spot for Poeme
Just a comment because there are some liars spreading fakes and rumours. Lancôme wasn’t common in the USSR in the 1950s and 1960s. It was available in the Breyozkas. And my mother’s Lancôme perfume isn’t the one pictured. My grandfather was not gay and went to the party store, for party elite after work to get Chanel No 5. It was sold out. He then asked what French perfumes they have and he found a Lancôme he liked and got that, as a military man. It would not occur to him to order Chanel No 5 in advance. He got it for her after they restocked it. Then Chanel No 17 that she liked more. To understand heterosexual men, American Wall Street brokers love La Vie Est Belle, which is the best selling perfume in France. Personally I find it too common like Baccarat Rouge and would get Trésor if one is going for a Lancôme perfume. Ladies Lancôme makeup aside from mascara & foundation is trash. Their mascara is not bad but their foundation is okay. Elite women get different things from different brands. MAC is the king of effective eye makeup but their foundation is trash. Lower class women only care about brand but elite who can easily get brand focus on quality. Brand obsession is a sign of a lack of taste. The brand obsessed gossipers are losers who are too lazy to create a UA-cam channel and too unattractive and scared to show their real face.
Your recommendation of Oud was a gamechanger for me. Unfortunately now I am hooked on the marvelous smell and it’s not the most affordable, but you only need a tiny bit
Myrr which is frankensense oil, Misk also and rose oil also drive men wild but are affordable. Mixing oud with your perfume is definitely a game changer. It elevates your perfume and drives men insane. You only need a touch .. one on your fingers on a date and one on your neck. Your date won’t know what hit him if you apply oils like that
Thank you again Maria, I appreciate the information you provide for us. You are so right, I find that I am always complimented on my scent but when men are around I’ve noticed women say what’s that weird smell or something smells off.
I've just discovered your whole channel, it's wonderful, you're way better than anyone else ! I would like to follow your advise by asking a professional my color season, what to wear, etc... But I feel some people called "professional" just don't know their stuff like you or just apply what's trending (especially for me that is in my early twenty's). How do you know you're dealing with someone that's for real a professional ? Where can I find one ? Thanks a lot and keep up with this good work !
Thank you. I am a professional colour season consultant as I have gone to the Richard Robinson Haute couture academy. Now when it comes to professional not everyone is talented. My clients all find me precise and usually find me after they did a colour season consultation elsewhere. Basically what school did they go to. Also if you look through my videos you can tell I am in my season’s colours. I am sadly booked in advance… so find out where they got their training and look at their results.
@@malenamatisse I get mine from friends who travel to the Middle East . I recommend checking Facebook groups on fragrance and TikTok for reviews. As Arabs we get bakhour with a little oud in it
I have become a perfume collector & can attest to that Annick Goutal perfumes are amazing. I have Tenue de Soiree & Rose Pompom. I may add Nuit & Confidence. I purchase the travel sprays that I tuck into my purse or evening clutch so I can reapply. Perfume vibes with your body chemistry, so what smells fabulous on one lady may be horrid on another. Parfums de Marly Delina is delightful & the newest addition to Chanel Les Eau Paris is a sultry scent. I would definitely struggle to only have one signature perfume 🙂thank you for such great content as always. ❤️
It’s real amazing. Apparently Oprah & Celine Dion have the Eau Hadrian from her. Travel sprays are the best! I agree that what smells fabulous on one lady doesn’t work on another. I basically put up in the beginning of a library so ladies can get a sample on Amazon or eBay and hone their taste buds and pick something they like.
If you struggle then pick a small bottle until you finish then onto the next. Try to get Arabic rose oil and add it to any rose base perfumes and you will see it sparkle. With oil just let it barely touch you neck and touch your hand once if you are on a date.
@@falsehoodbasher7240 simply one that looks like in the video. It’s the oil not the brand that matters. It’s what brands love to use in their perfume. You can get it for an affordable price because people who use it in developing countries are not wealthy and then it’s repackaged and diluted in elite western perfume. Western perfume chemically dilutes oil. Basically you want a halal rose oil. Now the cheapest ones can be diluted with other oil. In Yemen where we have a war you can buy it now for a dollar but $20 in peace time. Online $20 is a good one, $15, $12… you will find in a small bottle but a little goes a long way. Oman often has some good ones. In India it’s called Attar & that’s the Arabic name as well. If you can’t get Arab - India has a great industry though I am only familiar with their oud.
@@falsehoodbasher7240 find one that looks like they have good customer satisfaction and reasonable price, not cheapest and not most expensive and then from those through a dice and pick one. I like Arabian rose.. it has this beautiful expensive quality. If you don’t have a Lancôme perfume I suggest also getting a myhr or a Misk. In past kings wore myhr and Misk so they are a regal undertone and the rose is a great top note
In my secret group there is the lengthy discussion of oud... to join message me at @maria_almasani on instagram ... and to be honest any of them work... if you let's say don't want to join I recommend Jo Malone's Oud combos... though its not the strength & pyschological power of an Arabian oil... it smells expensive. For online you can get samples of oud inspired western perfumes so that you have a 2D idea. Western perfume is like 2D and eastern is like 3D perfume. Now misk oil can be well priced and you can add a tiny touch of it to your current perfume and it will smell so much more expensive... in our group we discuss in detail. Oud and Misk are different but Misk is like a fainter cousin of oud... I will never say a bad word about Misk because Prophet Mohammed liked it and will never say its inferior because I want to go to heaven... and it smells like Misk... but it has some of the same qualities that make oud sparkle though less intense, though it is different.. also woody but different.

Great job! Speaking of older Lancôme fragrances, I love Tresor but I would love to layer it with an oud or a misk; I would welcome any suggestions. Thanks in advance dear.
Aww thank you. Trésor is lovely and a hint of oud… just let the bottle apply to your fingers works. More than one touch is too much… that stuff is powerful and can knock people out. And a touch on the neck. You can play with misk as well and find something to your personal taste. Mixing things make it unique. I love trésor because you don’t see many women wearing that and it’s very classy and feminine. For trésor you can also play with Arabic authentic rose oil. You can find some under $20 on Amazon or eBay. Real oud is pricey but other Arabic perfume ingredients are not. Many western perfumers buy the oil from Egypt and dilute with alcohol. So lavender and violet are more expensive since they are made in France … oud will always be. Myhr like from the Bible is another interesting wood oil that can make your perfume smell richer and more expensive. I would start with the rose then play around. As for oud you can get samples of western weak imitations on Amazon. I have not seen a good imitation of Misk. I like it’s appropriximation on St Laurent vintage perfumes that Anna Bey fans hate. Trésor is an excellent choice. Mix with Arabic rose oil. A brush on your finger and a brush on your neck
Thank you, I always look forward to your videos. I love the info on the perfumes, unfortunately, like many other people, I became allergic to most of the commercial ones. I find Jo Malone perfumes do not irritate me, especially Basil and Neroli one also Givenchy L'interdit. It's a challenge trying 50 perfumes and finding one that is ok with my allergy. I will look into these natural ones you mentioned, maybe add to Jo Malones since they don't last long. Thank you again dear Maria.
It’s the most effective way to get the attention of a high value man looking for wife. The key like in every style is to make it your own. I wear crinolines and circle skirts because I think they are fun but with modern accessories and men don’t know what hit them plus oud plus my signature perfume… I know how to drive guys insane but I try not to over do it because there are so many creeps and I am already married but yes go for it!
@@tinypablo4920 I will be of course taking a break after I post the videos I filmed because I have to sew my collection & photograph it but after I come back sure.
This is so overwhelming for me. Please excuse me for saying this, but I am the type of person who gets dizzy from perfumes. I am trying to buy one to please my husband, we are both Arab. I have no idea what my problem is as I have no problem with natural oils. However, the oils I use are therapeutic, like Rosemary, which he hates. I tend to tolerate more manly smells while he likes more feminine ones. I am guessing this becuase I bought rose oil once and he did not complain. I really want to make him happy, do you have 1 or 2 suggestions to look into for someone like me?
Personally I believe you should wear the perfume, not the other around. As long as you understand how to deal with the perfume you're wearing, your body chemistry to the perfume, you shouldn't have to be afraid. I live in hot humid tropical country, but I have a lot love for powdery spicy balsamic perfume, and have soft-spot for white floral tuberose old-lady perfume. I love Youth Dew, Diamonds, Boucheron, No.5, Paris YSL....pratically perfumes from grandma's vanity 😂 I learned even in hot humid weather, I can still rock those spicy or old-lady perfumes. Edit: My rule in wearing heady spicy perfume or "old-lady" perfume, restraint. No more than 3 spray for day, and 5 spray for night. Spray from 20cm distance. I love CH No 5 EDT, for me it's a lot more beautiful than EDP. My late grandma had the EDT, in my head it was the epitome of elegant & class.
I think a younger woman can rock a “granny” perfume because it looks super sophisticated on a young woman but for middle aged lady like myself violet is not the best note. Boucheron is lovely
thank you very much for your advice! i will defentely try oud. the next perfume ill buy will be either armani oud royal or armani rose oud. I have at home two perfumes that i like: armani : because its you dior: hypnotic poison i am in my end 20s and i am working full time at an office. do you think its ok for me to finish wearing armani because its you or should I buy a armani perfume witb oud? i love hypnotic poison but i am not sure if it is too much because its more for the night of fore mature woman although i like it... what do you think?
That is so kind of you! Miss Dior has the most fascinating history. It was named after Mr Dior’s sister who was in the French resistance fighting and captured by the Germans. When she returned she was so emaciated and starved she couldn’t eat the meal her brother cooked for her. She was her brother’s war hero and yet an elegant Parisian lady who was Dior’s muse and inspired him
@@goddessglow6996 all. Now oud is the king of Arabian oils. When you combine perfume you have to understand how it works. That is where smelling expensive comes in. Kate Middleton wears Orange Blossom from Jo Malone. The top note, orange blossom, is a traditional Arab fragrance and even a traditional flavour in Arab cuisine like a vanilla. Though less common than vanilla. And it’s mixed with a woody/Smokey bottom note. Bottom notes are unisex & a good one kicks your fragrance into expensive. So good bottom notes are myrrh, oud, Misk. Patchouli smells hippie so I avoid it. So add a bottom note oil, to a top note… which could be a western perfume or rose, jasmine, orange blossom. Lavender might combine well with oud, though it’s French with an Eastern fragrance but it’s popular in the Middle East as is Lavender Musk. So it’s how you combine - sweet even almond oil perfume to rose to any floral on top and oud/Misk/wood on the bottom. You can use a citrus instead of floral if you are very young but then combine with oud to balance the youth of the citrus as oud smells ultra sophisticated and grown up. Play around and see what you enjoy. On a small budget get myrrh or Misk. And add to your perfume. Bigger budget? Add oud. Bigger budget also add a matching top note from your perfume… play around with the different oils and create your own signature fragrance
You are too kind! The next two to three videos are mic free. After my break we will use it. I had a couple other complaints so we ordered it. I am slowly building the channel and improving over time.
Everyone is wearing it… sadly it has become basic but it’s lovely. When it stops being so popular I would. It’s inoffensive, subtle, sexy but ouds & Misk drive men wild especially in combination with a perfume. Baccarat is lovely subtle and classy and when ladies move to something else as the IT perfume I would recommend. It’s quality but overused
out of all the smells, oud and arabic smells make me the most sick. not sure why you recommend this as a safe scent. it’s usually too much especially for day time . For places like hospitals I would recommend Narciso Rodriguez- Pure Musk or Jo Malone fragrances
Hermes & Chanel have a few perfumes that are Meh. Cartier is always spot on and VCF is brilliant. Guerlain depends on taste but if you want gentlemen to think it’s opulent add a little oil. Also having your own perfume made in Grasse in oil is excellent

How do you get out? Is that an oil?
Perfume oils, you take a tiny bit by touching your finger to the bottle the rubbing your finger under your chin on the corner and under Your wrists
I never got Chanel No 5
It's late so I can't watch it now BUT I'LL WATCH IT TOMMOROW!!!
You will really enjoy it as I put a lot of effort into it
Your videos are wonderful, kindly just speak a little louder
I can’t speak louder but after the break I will use the microphone. My videos before the break are prerecorded before the microphone.
@@mariaalmasaniroyalhouse9214 it's OK, have subscribed... 😍
You are too kind! The next two to three videos are mic free. After my break we will use it. I had a couple other complaints so we ordered it. I am slowly building the channel and improving over time.
I’m surprised you did not recommend Baccarat Rouge
Everyone is wearing it… sadly it has become basic but it’s lovely. When it stops being so popular I would. It’s inoffensive, subtle, sexy but ouds & Misk drive men wild especially in combination with a perfume. Baccarat is lovely subtle and classy and when ladies move to something else as the IT perfume I would recommend.
It’s quality but overused
out of all the smells, oud and arabic smells make me the most sick. not sure why you recommend this as a safe scent. it’s usually too much especially for day time . For places like hospitals I would recommend Narciso Rodriguez- Pure Musk or Jo Malone fragrances
All perfumes from the houses of Chanel, M. Micallef, Guerlain, Cartier or Hermès smell very opulent.
Hermes & Chanel have a few perfumes that are Meh. Cartier is always spot on and VCF is brilliant. Guerlain depends on taste but if you want gentlemen to think it’s opulent add a little oil. Also having your own perfume made in Grasse in oil is excellent
@@mariaalmasaniroyalhouse9214 I appreciate the reply Mrs. Maria😍
I wish I discovered this gem of a channel earlier but better late than never I guess. Much love :)
@@KelanJ29534 aww 🥰 Guerlain Imperial was the fragrance of Napoleon’s wife Empress Eugenie so it’s naturally posh
@@mariaalmasaniroyalhouse9214 I would love to know your opinion on Guerlain Mon Guerlain, M. Micallef Pure Extreme and Elie Saab Le Parfum
