Girl - you have turned me on to so many beautiful fragrances so I wanted to return the favour now that you’re getting into middle eastern fragrances ❤ If you haven’t already, get your nose on Maison Alhambra’s Niche Royal Rouge! It’s a beautiful dupe of Armani’s Rouge Malachite and it is beyond sexy and long lasting 🥰
My bottle of Berlinetta arrived just hours ago and I'm SO HAPPY that I ordered it! You sold it to us so wonderfully so THANK YOU! It's so beautiful, so alluring. This perfume doesn't shout but speaks in hushed tones, so elegant! Thank you so much!
Ok, you completely sold me on Berlinetta! It's in my cart right now. You have such a beautiful and realistic way of describing fragrances. I feel like I'm right there smelling it, too, with the pictures you paint. And I completely agree with your descriptions for the fragrances I'm familiar with. You definitely have a gift for this.
I have Byredo Oud Immortel. It's ok. I picked it up a good number of years ago. I enjoy Immortel in perfumes. I have a vintage bottle of Aniick's Sables along with New Haarlem. I got these a while back at a discounter. I like their Eleventh Hour or Elevator, I think that's what they're called from Byredo. I'm not the biggest fan of Bryedo or Le Labo, MFK as well as others. The price point for what you are getting is silly. So I'll have to check these out. Going to try Lataffa's Karamah. I had some Rasasi's. La Yuqawam was good, but it became like Red Tobacco from Mancera. After a while, it became exhaustive to wear. The others like Al Wisam All day was good, but it kind of went flat after the 3rd hour. Like the name, it lasted All Day. I do like Ajmal Products, ASAQ some from Swiss Arabian. Keep coming out with videos till the magic happens, Ally. You fly way way too low under the radar here on UA-cam.
This was great! Had no idea Maison Alhambra was doing Byredo! Have Emir’s Vibrant Vetiver and it’s an amazing Bal D’Afrique dupe! Biblioteque is my all time favorite Byredo so will be picking up Berlineta, appreciate you!
Hi there, I appreciate your reviws super helpful. I have the fragrances you mentioned in this video. I have a few comments on my experience. By Saffron on 1st sniff smells of dill pickles lol did you experince that? Berlinetta is easily in my top 10, and getting better everyday. Orange Neroli to me smelled of toliet freshner, even after I let it sit for months so I gave it away. Vetiver delight for me is summer freezer pop in a bottle, and getting better everyday. Thank you for all the time you take putting this content together.
I can totally see how you would smell pickles. By Saffron had a green vegetal vibe that mixes with the leather and it can resemble a pickle note to some. Santal 33 has the same effect with the leather note and earthy green notes. Neroli to most can smell a bit like air freshener. I don’t experience the smell of neroli in that way but I could totally see the resemblance to it. The dua fragrance version of sundazed gave me hardcore air freshener and iron vibes and I couldn’t stomach it. Glad you are enjoying the content and thank you for watching ❤️
I have vibrant vetiver. Total summer banger. The extra mula compared to the others is totally worth it for the quality. Love your vibe/energy and your pokemon top. Made my Friday.
Hi Aly I received Saffron, Berlinetta and Vibrant Vetiver approx. 5 days ago. Saffron is wonderful right away. Berlinetta smells super on paper - will wait a month or two for maceration. Vibrant Vetiver is super citrus. Not impressed yet. Absolutely LOVE the Black and White Maison Alhambra packaging for Saffron, Berlinetta, Matiere, Immortal and THE TUX. In addition all the above are very nice fragrances except still on the fence for Vetiver. Prefer some of Zara fragrances more than majority of my other Middle East purchases. Especially ones obtained while traveling through Spain.
When I let my Fragrances Macerate I dim the lights put on some Netflix and let them Chill. lol. 😂 it’s better to lay them on their sides so they get more Oxygen on the surface. Some put them in the fridge for a few
Aw, I'm really sorry you went through divorce. That's super tough. Thank you for bravely sharing that with us. I hope you're in a way better place now. On a positive note; check out Pink Fame, its meant to be a dupe of Angel Goddess. Love your reviews as always.
I just found u and you sealed the deal for me with Berlinetta. I was on the fence. Thank u! Cross My fingers....i bought bright peach in July and it still smells weird, it's probably not done macerating. Montaigne Coco is better every day..... i got Khair pistachio in August, and truly all i smell is a suede note....i like suede, but i want what everyone has described. I don't get any sweetness or ice cream.... marshmallow.... nothing🥺🤷♀️ I'm still new to all of this ME. After reading some other comments, I'm going to go lay some of them down in the fridge. Or should it be freezer? So far I've found you have great taste! I like a lot of the same smells. So happy to meet you 😊
Where did the wood walls go, Ally? I loved your room! I love the bags on your shelf- what are they, pls???😊 Edit: I also wanted to tell you that i adore your features- go watch the video "Father Figure" by George Michael- you remind me so much of the gorgeous women in that video!
Hi Ally, may i ask what are those bags you have behind you? They look nice and similar style to the other..so I'm curious what is the story there. I checked if you had a video about them and I don't think there is. Thanks❤❤
They are vintage Stella Page handbags. I use to wish when I was younger to own one. They were made locally in my hometown and I use to see them in local boutiques. They have a special place in my heart ♥️
I just bought Vibrant Vetiver Delight, so I am looking forward to that! I also bought Narissa Ambre on your recommendation and I love it - thank you!❤ I am wondering if you've tried the Narissa by Maison Alhambra that is supposed to be a dupe for Narciso Rodriguez For Her, as I am quite interested in that one!
New sub here! Love these vids! You describe the scents so well. I wanted to ask, is the sundazed Byredo dupe, do you feel it’s feminine?! I hate masculine citrus scents on me !!!
Byredo bottle is very iconic tho' Emir's bottles are not aesthetically pleasing and not versatile look for every vanity. As for the dupe claim, I will receive my orange and neroli today, hopefully it can complemented my Byredo Sundazed, I have tried so many arabic clone brands but usually the turned into stinky rubbery synthetic smell. If it is really smell like sundazed, I can use it for my underwear spray while layer sundazed on my skin and outer layer of my clothes 😊
I haven’t tried the Oakcha dupes but I have tried the dossier ones. The Dossier dupe for Bal D’Afrique is one of my favorites from the Dossier line. I’m a big fan of Dossier and the fragrances are definitely quality ☺️
Both are long lasting, orange neroli sticks on my skin a good 6-7 hours and last over 24 hours on clothes. It’s definitely gotten stronger the longer it’s macerated. Vetiver Delight was softer in performance but last a good 6 hours on me and also klings on clothes. It’s definitely gotten stronger since I got it but I haven’t worn it because it’s been so cold out. I’m waiting till spring / summer to bring them back out again. Both are amazing but Vetiver Delight is my favorite of the two 😊
Check out ALT fragrances, they have a fragrance callled White and it’s a dupe for Blanche. Also Dua Fragrances has a dupe of Blanche called White Beauty and it’s also an Extrait de parfum so it last a lot longer ❤️
I want to gift a fruity ME fragrance to my female friend which is not unisex or leaning more feminine, which of these vibrant ones is a good option and if you have anything else in mind with good performance n projection please suggest, Thank you ! :)
Vetiver delight would be the one to gift. It’s really beautiful and feminine, and would be your safest bet in gifting ☺️ also another amazing one to look into would be Sensuos Night by Khadlaj it’s very feminine and long lasting which is rare for that style of feminine fragrance that has a sparking clean sexy vibe.
i ordered by saffron from maison alhambra right after watching this video and omg it's like 95% similar to black saffron. i'm obsessed tysm!!!

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Adding it to my cart right now 😍❤️
I wish they’d do a version of G-water!
My bottle of Berlinetta arrived just hours ago and I'm SO HAPPY that I ordered it! You sold it to us so wonderfully so THANK YOU! It's so beautiful, so alluring. This perfume doesn't shout but speaks in hushed tones, so elegant! Thank you so much!
Hope you enjoy it!❤️❤️❤️
It’s only going to get better the longer you have it! ❤️
Omg I’ve been WAITING on someone to discover some Byredo dupes and you did it!!!🎉🎉 Thank you, you are the best and your whole energy is so cool☺️💙

I feel like I'm right there smelling it, too, with the pictures you paint. And I completely agree with your descriptions for the fragrances I'm familiar with. You definitely have a gift for this.
Gypsy water is my favorite, I want a clone of that. I have the hair fragrance by Byredo and OMG.
I have Byredo Oud Immortel. It's ok. I picked it up a good number of years ago.
I enjoy Immortel in perfumes. I have a vintage bottle of Aniick's Sables along with New Haarlem.

The price point for what you are getting is silly.
So I'll have to check these out.
Going to try Lataffa's Karamah.
I had some Rasasi's. La Yuqawam was good, but it became like Red Tobacco from Mancera.
After a while, it became exhaustive to wear.
The others like Al Wisam All day was good, but it kind of went flat after the 3rd hour.
Like the name, it lasted All Day.
I do like Ajmal Products, ASAQ some from Swiss Arabian.

Vetiver delight smells amazing and it lasts so much longer than the original on my skin.
I really want to try the two emir ones. I got their dupe of feve delicieuse and it is incredible. Also I absolutely love your shirt!❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 ❤️
Good honest opinion, love from Glasgow, x
I wish they had some of the ones I really like! You gave a really good review! Thank you for sharing. Be blessed and a blessing ❤

Thanks Ally! Thumbs up to a young Rachel Weisz! 🤭
Love your insight for these parfumes❤.and also for those *beautifull ethnic hand bags behind you *...is that batik pattern💜?
Thank you. ❤️Some definitely have a Batik style to then.
I just found u and you sealed the deal for me with Berlinetta. I was on the fence. Thank u!

I would definitely try the fridge but not the freezer 😊
I love this 💗💗 thank you for sharing! 🌹
After the mummy comment I had to right away follow you haha
What a beauty!😢
Where did the wood walls go, Ally? I loved your room! I love the bags on your shelf- what are they, pls???😊 Edit: I also wanted to tell you that i adore your features- go watch the video "Father Figure" by George Michael- you remind me so much of the gorgeous women in that video!
I miss my old place too, but I since moved after my divorce, and thank you for the compliment ☺️❤️
Hi Ally, may i ask what are those bags you have behind you? They look nice and similar style to the other..so I'm curious what is the story there. I checked if you had a video about them and I don't think there is. Thanks❤❤
They are vintage Stella Page handbags. I use to wish when I was younger to own one. They were made locally in my hometown and I use to see them in local boutiques. They have a special place in my heart ♥️
I would love mojave ghost dupe.
Dua fragrances has a Mojave ghost dupe, I use to own it a couple years ago ☺️
I just bought Vibrant Vetiver Delight, so I am looking forward to that! I also bought Narissa Ambre on your recommendation and I love it - thank you!❤ I am wondering if you've tried the Narissa by Maison Alhambra that is supposed to be a dupe for Narciso Rodriguez For Her, as I am quite interested in that one!
Yes, Narissa is a dupe for the OG Narciso Rodriguez fragrance ❤️
New sub here! Love these vids! You describe the scents so well. I wanted to ask, is the sundazed Byredo dupe, do you feel it’s feminine?! I hate masculine citrus scents on me !!!
It’s definitely unisex with a heavy feminine lean because of the cotton candy note ☺️
Byredo bottle is very iconic tho'
Emir's bottles are not aesthetically pleasing and not versatile look for every vanity.
As for the dupe claim, I will receive my orange and neroli today, hopefully it can complemented my Byredo Sundazed, I have tried so many arabic clone brands but usually the turned into stinky rubbery synthetic smell. If it is really smell like sundazed, I can use it for my underwear spray while layer sundazed on my skin and outer layer of my clothes 😊
Hi Ally 😊have you tried Finery’s Magnetic Candy? I’ve heard that is a dupe for Sundazed as well. Can you compare that one to Orange & Neroli?
I have not tried it out but I’m definitely going to look into that one ❤️
M&S do a 100% dupe of Sun Daz by Byredo, it is called Amongst the Orange Groves.
Do you know a dupe for La tulip, is my favorite for Byredo
I haven’t found one yet, but if I do find one I’ll keep you posted 😊
you have SOLD me on the paris corner neroli and the green frosty bottle one pear potion?
The green one is Vetiver delight
Have you tried Dossier and/or Oakcha's dupes of Bal d'Afrique? just curious how they might compare to the houses you featured here. ☺
I haven’t tried the Oakcha dupes but I have tried the dossier ones. The Dossier dupe for Bal D’Afrique is one of my favorites from the Dossier line. I’m a big fan of Dossier and the fragrances are definitely quality ☺️
Aaah have you ever found an Arabic version of Blanche by Byredo?
Not yet ☺️
Does anyone know a dupe for house of bo rosario? Its the most exquisite rose perfume I've ever smelled.
Not that I’m aware of, but I just bought Casa Blanca and I have a sample of Rosario on the way as well. Can’t wait to get my nose on it 😊
Does vibrant orange neroli have neroli portifino similarities? is it the same as zara sunray? I have both
It’s a similar vibe but vibrant orange is more candy-floss sweet
In Dubai it’s 20 dollars per bottle
Lucky❤️🍀
What is the longevity for orange neroli and vibrant vetiver
Both are long lasting, orange neroli sticks on my skin a good 6-7 hours and last over 24 hours on clothes. It’s definitely gotten stronger the longer it’s macerated. Vetiver Delight was softer in performance but last a good 6 hours on me and also klings on clothes. It’s definitely gotten stronger since I got it but I haven’t worn it because it’s been so cold out. I’m waiting till spring / summer to bring them back out again. Both are amazing but Vetiver Delight is my favorite of the two 😊
Great video! Do you know if they have a dupe for Mojave Ghost?
Dua fragrances has a clone of Mojave Ghost called Mojave sand, and it comes in an extrait de parfum 😊
I wonder how by saffron compares to emir vibrant sensual saffron. Have you tried emir one?
Not yet, but I am curious about it
Hi there❤Thanks for the Video! I am on the hunt ,for a good BYREDO BLANCHE dupe...If anyone can give some ideas - Thank you so much ❤
Check out ALT fragrances, they have a fragrance callled White and it’s a dupe for Blanche. Also Dua Fragrances has a dupe of Blanche called White Beauty and it’s also an Extrait de parfum so it last a lot longer ❤️
Hola es más Femenino o masculino saludos desde C. R
Los dos primeros son unisex con una ligera inclinación femenina. Los dos últimos son unisex pero con un corte más femenino. ☺️
I want to gift a fruity ME fragrance to my female friend which is not unisex or leaning more feminine, which of these vibrant ones is a good option and if you have anything else in mind with good performance n projection please suggest, Thank you ! :)
Vetiver delight would be the one to gift. It’s really beautiful and feminine, and would be your safest bet in gifting ☺️
also another amazing one to look into would be Sensuos Night by Khadlaj it’s very feminine and long lasting which is rare for that style of feminine fragrance that has a sparking clean sexy vibe.
Does anyone know any dupes for Byredo Rouge chaotique
Your top is so cute 😭. Where is it from?
I got it at Hot Topic almost a decade ago when they had a Pokemon collection of clothes in stock
Ugh you are so attractive
Which 1 do you like more ? Berlinetta or saffron?
Both are amazing but personally I adore Berlinetta 😍
📝
