I have Tiger Lily and I really love it. It's summery but there's depth. It doesn't just fade away into nothing in an hour.

Just received my bottle of Ajayeb Dubai Portrait and sprayed it on me for the first time, and I can say this is a winner! First I get soft tobacco and green mango in the background - very soft in me, but still there to give it that special touch and it’s such a beautiful combination. Smells old money to me. I can see a lady with saffron or bronze colored dress with long pearl necklace around her neck or a gentleman with mustache and three piece beige summer suit sitting in their summer estate, sipping tea and wearing this (definitely unisex). It’s Instant love! I can’t speak of longevity or projection since I’ve sprayed it less than half an hour ago but there is a lovely scent bubble around me. I say it’s a definitely worth a buy.

100% Yesssss to the Flower Bomb TigerLily. It’s so pretty to me❤

I have been obsessed with the Musk # 3 from BBW. Desperately looked to see if it was a dupe of a fragrance. It is spot on the Diptyque’s L’eau Papier. Not sure what about this scent has me blown away. I cannot get enough!!!

I really love the Musk 02! I also was wondering if that particular one had been inspired by something but I have yet to figure it out! I'll have to see if I can get my nose on The Diptyque one and the 03!!! If anyone has any recommendations for long lasting Musks that aren't super soapy I'd love to hear. I have and LOVE Afnans Mystique Bouquet and can not stop wearing that one, definitely want more in that department! ❤

Hi Maria, I totally agree with you on so many scents. #1 I bought and even let Ayeb Dubai sit and I sold it. Now I'm kicking myself because when I sold it I did one last sniff and it was amazing but the oud dry down confused me. I never bought a daisy scent because of the bottles 😅 I just think of the top of a teenage girls dresser when I look at those bottles. Flower bomb tiger lily is a powerhouse scent. I have it and when I spray it I feel overwhelmed with fragrance 😅

just went to Nordstrom and sefora, and I saw sandal vanilla and smelled it - it very nice! I can see why you can't stop thinking about it :)

I see Dubai portrait in the thumbnail. I went to sleep in it and loved waking up to it. can't wait to see your thoughts!

Ha ha ha, yeah I understand what you mean by the Legally Blonde persona re MJ perfumes 😂. I am obsessed with Estée Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia. It’s such a beautiful white floral and super classy. I don’t own it…yet 😂

Hi Maria,the first to times I tried ayaheb dubai it was to masculine to me and to woody and i didnt smell the mango either,but by the third time i really smelled the mango and stayed with me all day long and i love it now.I am glad that you are giving it a second chance.Take care Maria,love your reviews🥰

All sound good! And welcome to the 7V “Santal Vanille”club! 😎

I have Dubai Portrait and adore it. At first I thought it was too green. After six months though, it has transformed into a gorgeous creamy mango. Love it!

Wow...I've had mine for about 2 months and it's still giving too much maturity for me. I do smell the green in it so maybe mine has to macerate a lot longer.

Yes, I’m starting to love it but it has taken time!

For some.reason i can hear other channels videos but not it this one. Its the first time this has happenned and it seems its a me problem lol since others are commenting as usual. I wa😢s looking forward to this vid.

lol 😂 I’ve always been like-minded about Daisy until I smelled the latest. It reminds me of the 90s and make me smile 😀

Go go go for Santal Vanille! 😉 A firm favorite here! ❤

Yes I try the daisy wild Marc Jacob is such a beautiful fragrance. I sniff it when I went to Sephora the other day and I can’t get it out of my mind too.

I love watching your videos, for the perfume reviews, but also because I love how you do your makeup. I wish you did a makeup tutorial especially with the purple smoky eyes. Love from USA ❤️

Just sprayed santal vanille with vanilla candy RS and it's so good, thank you!! Gives it so much more depth. ❤❤

Hi Marie! I bought a bottle of Caprice de Julie from Chabaud. I love this house! Their gourmands are so yummy and their fruits smell so ....natural. I adore the Blueberry and Watermelon combination in Julie. Plus, I love the fact that you can purchase these in 30ml sizes.

You need Ajayeb Dubai portrait! You have to macerate about 2-3 weeks then it’s amazing. I love it. I sometimes layer it with Montaigne coco (coco vanille/ holidays dupe).

Great video Maria. Your makeup look flawless like always! Maybe it’s time for an Ajayeb Dubai Portrait decant, so you have proper time to experience the scent. I agree with you about the dry-down it is a bit masculine and also herbal to my nose, but I love it! Hope you add Daisy Wild to your collection soon, it smelles awesome on you 😘🥰😘🥰

When I first got ajayeb Dubai portrait I wasn’t sure if I liked it but I wore it the other day and found out that I really really like it.

Ayayeb Dubai it’s a Love. Saludos desde México!

I’ve just added Chanel coco Mademoiselle intense. I used to own the original years ago and I just had a craving for it. I’ve also got Guerlain Petite Robe Noir intense on the way so I hope it’s a good one. I’m really enjoying sweet fruity patchouli scents at the moment 🎉 I also own Tiger Lily, I love it.

I just layered Ajayeb dubai with Alhambra Bright Peach. They are both rich and delish.

I just finished a 10mL bottle of Santale Vanille. I find it has a definite fig note on me. I don’t have anything quite like it in my collection and I think I will buy a full size bottle as I’m missing it. Like you, I love to layer it with a variety of perfumes ; it’s really lovely with Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco

I've been into combining lately! I recently sprayed Amber Rouge over Ajayeb Dubai Portrait. To be honest, I'm more on the fence about ADP than I'd care to admit but the sweet, saffron-y addition cut the one harsh bit I get from it. Who knew?

I have ajayeb dubai portrait. At first it was just okay but after macerating 3 months I am in love.

I am on my second bottle of Ajayeb Dubai Portrait.

Ajayeb Dubai Portrait smells like mango and moth balls to me lol. I love the bottle but can’t get into the fragrance 😬

Ajayeb Dubai Portrait is addictive and I don't understand why. It's definitely not a scent I would say fits my profile, but damn, whenever I wear it I cannot stop sniffing myself. And anytime I walk by the bottle I have to smell the atomizer lmao. So I totally get you 😂

I feel the same way. I have had it macerating for a couple months because I didn't like it at first, I pulled her out yesterday and I was in love. I sprayed it on me 4x throughout the day. It's the only "tropical" scent I enjoy.

I love blueberry too. I know Ebk Deep n Desire isn't blueberries but it's what I smell. So yummy

I'm struggling with Ajayeb Dubai Portrait. I get the green mango but within seconds it turns into a mish-mash of men's cologne. Insanely masculine, no orange or lemon or jasmine. I've had it sitting in a windowsill for days hoping the sun and some warmth will help transform the fragrance into something wearable. At least it was dirt cheap!

My current wishlist is: Byredo Animalique, Parfums de Marly Meliora and Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. ❤~ Chelsea

AJAYEB DUBAI PORTRAIT is mango served in an ashtray, for me. I threw the tester strip in the bin, and when i next walked into the room, I could still smell the stale smoke from the doorway, and had to take out the bin. I really don't understand the hype. The mango would be lovely... if you could separate it from the ashtray repulsiveness... or is it just me

I never understand how someone can buy arabic perfume and really smell a thousand nuanced notes right away, sounds like a boloney to me, first of I bought that first perfume exactly because of the blogger hype, some nieshe loving bloggers like it, I thought It must be good, - NO! it is not, first of the smell of mango didn't open up after it sat for two days after being transported, and even then it doesn't last as mango - all you have is very incense-like sandalwood, which is not feminine at all, I do not like it on me, it makes me think of mans colones, like I must have left my sweater on top of my bf sweater and his cologne transfered, but that is exactly why my bf loved it right away, and no he didn't love it on me for me, he loved it for himself to wear, - so yep , its very masculine because its pure sandalwood! now im glad he liked it so much, at least its not gonna sit around , and who knows may be in a year it will become sweeter and more floral, I figured im gonna smell it on him till I like it enough to take it back but its not gonna be happening any time soon, so ladies if you want a perfume to enjoy right away and not in a possible year or two - DO NOT BUY that Ajayeb Dubai, because you not gonna like it and your bf may not like it either
