Val is a queen of a blind buy will love to see her on KZread or perfumetogether 😂😂 Great energy ladies🎉

These Middle Eastern videos are my favorite! I have and love Pistachio Khair, Francique 63.55, and Shaghaf Oud Tonka - all such great fragrances! Lately I have also been loving Lattafa's Nasheet and Rasasi's Qasamat Ebhar - so, so beautiful. Rave Now women was also quite good. I am excited to try out a few of your recommendations, particularly the C.A.C.A.O one and Bois de Vanille - neither of which I can find online. Can you share where Val found them? ❤❤

Vert Malachite is better than the Rouge. My eyes rolled back when I first sampled it. Not sure why it's not hyped more.

I have been on the Middle Eastern train for a few years. Liam is my favorite! It’s so lovely and easy to wear. I prefer it to Gris Charnel. My second favorite is probably Club De Nuit for women, which is somewhere between Coco Mademoiselle and CM Intense. My 3rd favorite is Ana Abyedh Poudree, very light but so pretty.

Hello Maria :) I love when Val comes in! You are great together and it shows that you have a lot of fun :D I have some of those fragrances. Khair Pistachio is BEAUTIFUL! Really love it, definetly worth every money. CACAO is also great, I have a 10 ml decant, but I think of a full bottle. My favourite is also Cherry Cola from Emir - it just smells like cherry cola (Inspiration is Mancera Tonka cola) :D Love it! I want to buy Liam and Shaghaf oud Tonka - those are my next buys hopefully :) I am really intrigued by Niche Royal Vert.

Love middle eastern scents, thanks for part 2. I have affection. I really enjoy it. I wouldn’t say it’s the most long lasting.

Khair pistachio is closer to yum pistachio than affection by Lattafa. I have all 3 and can smell the differences. I love yum more as I’ve had it since the release date so it has oxidised beautifully. However I feel khair will out shine yum once it has sat in the collection longer. Love the video ❤

@@Kettlebelle.e wow I didn’t even know those were apart of the notes. I definitely don’t get any of that. Khair is sweet but sharp bergamot, pistachio cream (not gelato), a fluffiness like marshmallows when it dries down you get more of the creamy woody nuance with candy and pistachios ice cream. (I recall Yum smelt like this too when I got it on release) I have had khair for just over 2 weeks so I suspect it will change just like Yum did

@AnittaBlackk

5 ай бұрын

@@sashugh sniffing side by side ( as I type lol) Affection is heavier on the sweet notes like marshmallows, cotton candy, pistachio ice cream. The bergamot goes away fast (a min after spraying) whereas with Khair it is there for the top and mid dry down. I don’t detect any rum like Yum and Khair. All other notes are similar in presence. To be fair both Affection and Khair are quite close to Yum’s top and mid but Yum is very different in the full dry down

Maria, your reaction to C.A.C.A.O got me so freaking intrigued, I went ahead and ordered it and OMG!!! I am blown away by this majestic scent! It smells so yummy and expensive! The packaging is stunning too, so chic (that magnetic cap tho). Thank you so much for this recommendation, I can't believe no one's talking about this gem!

Oh my gosh- love these w/ y’all!! The Shagaf Azraq is so amazing on my hubs. He loved it so much we just ordered a back up because it’s limited edition. It becomes a spicy sweet honeyed tobacco … gets better the longer he wears it. The Tonka is such a love too🩷. My fav version of the Herba Pura DNA is Orientica Royal Amber- so fruity and vanilla forward w/o that harsh musky dirty heaviness of Herba Pura (Amber Oud Gold 🤮)… ❤❤❤

I prefer Infini Elixir to Side Effect, it is sweeter and less masculine than SE. It seems to be a theme with dupes. I have all those Shaghafs. I only bought the red one for the bottle because I dont like Erba Pura dna but I actually like Ahmar, it's smoother than the OG or other dupes I've tried. Azraq... I am that person that goes out with 8-10 sprays of it and now so is my daughter. 😂 Tonka is addictive for sure, I really notice the orange blossom in it but not rose. Great haul 👌

Love this it’s so informative and interesting. Please please try vintage radio by Lattafa, it’s amazing!

I have only 7 Middle Eastern fragrances in my collection. Many have gone as I don’t enjoy the musk base that is in a lot of them. Think Erba Pura. I also don’t enjoy heavy florals or heavy rose. That being said. The ones I have are fabulous. Tonka is new to my collection and I find the almond more soapy than edible, but I like it even though I don’t love soapy fragrances. I am letting it rest before I try it again. I also love Modest Deux, Golden Sands(oil), Junoon Noir, Eternal Oud, Honor and Glory, and Love Apple(oil).

And I find Khair superior in terms of longevity and I prefer the sweeter take on the pistachio. I bought the Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Tonka as soon as I saw it. Gorgeous mix of almond and Tonka. I love it. The Azraq one seems a bit two masculine for my taste.
