Sim, I love when you share bits of your fascinating culture. ♥️ thank you and blessings 😊

Hi! Simon. Thank you for all of the fragrance review videos especially the one's on the new perfumes. I will definitely be adding some of them to my collection your videos are the best❤

Qawha sounds lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Casablanca was my signature scent. I absolutely love her and I get so many, many compliments when I wear it.

I’m so excited for Khamrah Qahwa!!! Mine arrives Sunday/Monday 😊😊😊 Khamrah was a love at first sniff for me and I know this will be amazing ❤

I have Hareem al Sultan (oil) and I'm so glad to see that it now comes in a spray. I love that gragrance and a spray would be much easier for me to use. As always, great content and thank you for sharing!

I pre ordered Qawah in the states and paid $50 for it. IMO it’s worth every penny! I love it! Reminds me a lot of the OG, but once it’s dried down I get the creamy coffee. It’s beautiful to me! I reviewed it on my ig as soon as I got it! 😍

where did you order it from?

Thank you tremendously Simini, all of these I must try and probably buy as they sound very nice. May I say I love the Arabic culture of the coffee, which I had some while visiting some students in Newcastle upon Tyne UK, from Dubai and Saudi Arabia..they were the most kindest, and interesting people I have ever known to be fair, and shared their love of great fragrances, we were in heaven....oh by the way Arabic coffee is out of this world for those who has not tried..I must go to the Middle East and thank them. Many thanks again Simini and kind regards.

I appreciate the 'vibe check' as I quite like Middle Eastern vibes for what I would consider fall/winter scents. Khamrah and Kismet Angel are delicious, looking forward to trying Qahwa if I can get it for a good price in the US!

I don't mind the length of the videos. I appreciate the lessons you share about things like the coffee ritual, it helps my understanding of the perfume. I'll be getting the original Khamrah very soon.

We've been anticipating this video! Great job! My Qahwa should be arriving any day now! I preordered and paid 42€ for it.. too much perhaps, but not as much as other places are charging. Yikes. Taking advantage of the holiday shopping mood I guess. I am so pleased to hear that it is not redundant to the original Khamrah! Today I received my bottle of Lattafa Musamam White Intense. Omg.. Just stunning. One of the best presentations for sure, but the fragrance is soo unique! I was thinking thick tropical scent. Yes, that is there, but it is so much more complex than that. I love it. Thanks for the recommendation!

I just love watching your videos ❤.

Great review! I was interested in purchasing Montale Mukhallat so was floored to find Hareem al Sultan is similar.

Oooh! I just ordered Khamrah Qahwa, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Looking forward to hearing your take on it!

I found your channel last week and have been watching your videos. I love it 😁. I subbed and will be going back to watch older videos. Btw, you are absolutely beautiful.

I’m here alway love you ❤😂

I adore khamrah.. and I will get this one toooo

I got my Qahwa yesterday and I’m super excited! I love coffee scents so much. Coffee combined with the Khamrah DNA sounds amazing. I also have Lattafa Affection (Dupe for Kayali Yum Pistachio) on the way too. Excited!!

Hi Tina, how did you like them? I have Lattafa Affection and it needed looooong maturation. When it arrived it barely smelled like anything (so you'll know, if it's not there yet: travel hurts it a lot). After a week I only got mandarin at first. After a month it was absolutely delicious, but that changed again two weeks after. Really, I got olfactory whiplash, lol. I think it has calmed down now, 3months after arrival. I wish the pistachio note was a tad stronger, as it was after 4wks, but it's nice. Strangely floral as opposed to the pure gourmand I expected but I managed to pay €40 for it (which is low in my area) and it's worth it. What did you think of Khamrah Qahwa? Does it have, like, Black Opium vibes?

@tina_smt

@@misssunnydee Affection smells fantastic! It’s not really a gourmand, but neither is the actual Yum Pistachio. I prefer it, as it’s perfumey with a hint of nutty pistachio. It’s a winner. Qahwa is really similar to the original Khamrah. I can’t really detect any coffee, but I think with maceration, it might help to bring it out the coffee notes more.

I found qahwa at 35€ and I'm so happy since the original went up to 60, definitely going to buy it!!

Thank you my dear❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi ! As usual I enjoyed your reviews . I Know I will purchase Qahwa ASAP. It is funny , I'm originally from Poland ( in Eastern Europe ) and we say kawa = coffee . Greetings from Paris ❤

I'm glad people like Hareem El Sultan because I gave it as a gift before it was hyped and didn't smell it long enough to recall how it smelled or what it dried down to except that it reminded me of Waswashah.

update on khamrah + french coffee?

Hi! I'm more of a tea person, so I wasn't so fond of Khamrah Qahwa... I prefer to smell it on someone else for a short period of time. You're right, it smells like coffee and dates... They should have drawn a dallah in the box. Luckily, I got it for only 80 dhs. Today I tried a lot of lattafas at a discounted price at the mall, but I didn't fall for any of them... I'm always looking for a good deal! Thanks for your insights and look forward to watching the next haul!

I literally read 5min ago that Khamrah had a flanker and I immediately went onto YT to see if my girl Sim @Simin Shaikh had reviewed it! (I haven't been well, missed you). I love the explanation of the Qahwa coffee! Especially because Khamrah OG has dates, your story gives the pyramid something extra. Like, the why of the creation. But just because coffee would mix nicely with it scent wise, but the cultural aspect ❤. Sigh, I miss traveling and talking to people from other countries so much! So, yeah: don't say sorry for giving the story. It was welcomed by me. Lol, I'm just thinking if I go to the florist when wearing this (they have special cat grass that makes sure they can't choke on it, which can happen with the fully grown grass that has pointy ends). One of the women working there keeps asking what I'm wearing and I've already written down Khamrah for her, as well as Khadlaj La Fede Intoxicate and Kismet Angel (yeah, I was seeing the vibe there, too hihi). She's definitely going to go broke from me buying cat grass 😂😂😂.

I The way you describe Fragrances, so beautiful. I’m loving these Middle Eastern fragrances.. I need to slow down..So if you know anything is like Dior Prive Rouge Trafalgar.. I love it,but longevity isn’t good also it’s $380 or so..Thata a no for me.. I have a KDJ inspired.. love it too

Hey Simin😊

Ok I live in Brooklyn, NY and you can find almost any fragrance in the world here. In particular there is a shop on Flatbush Ave that has the strongest golden sand oil fragrance I have ever experienced and trust me there are some contenders. I want to know how can I stretch that fragrance in a tincture? Should I add alcohol? And if so what kind?

Hi Sim!💛 I love Khamarah! So cozy and warm!! I will probably try this new one after the hype dies down. Hype drives prices up…..and UP! When I first tried Casablanca, I couldn’t believe it was the same fragrance people were describing! I forgot about it for 6 months. When I tried it again, I couldn’t believe the difference 😮 And I loved it! I’m interested in trying the Essence. I hope that one doesn’t have to sit for 6 months also!😂 You look exceptionally beautiful today….🤩 I forgot to congratulate you on 10K subscribers. People know quality when they see it 💛💛

Hi, Miss Simin! Have you tried the ones from Ard Al Zaafaran, the pistachio, mango, and cotton candy? I just saw them on Instagram.

I love you ❤❤❤

Have you tried ameer al oudh by lattafa? I mean classical vestiib, not intense one. Tha latter is very hyped whereas there is barely anything on this version. It is marketed for Man but i think it is unisex. My skin makes fragrances more sharp but i can wear this one and enjoy a lot. It reminds me of black cashmere by donna caran which had been long gone off the market. Could you review this version? Cheers Magda

Hello, for my cousin brother's wedding gift, I am confused between Lattafa Maahir (Gold) and Khamrah Qahwa, considering their good presentation and both being unisex.

Because I’m on a ME perfumes kick, Amazon suggested I buy Khadlaj Nuh. It isn’t listed on Fragrantica and this is the only review on the perfume that I have found on YT. To say that information about Nuha is sparse is putting it lightly. Prior to purchasing this perfume, it wouldn’t have occurred to me to scour the comments here for info and takes on the fragrance but maybe you’re different. Maybe this can stop you. For whatever reason, I thought Nuha would be similar in scent profile to Alien Goddess; that perfume is my soulmate. Nuha and AG don’t belong in the same room together. Sure, they’re both sunny tropical fragrances but their similarities abruptly end at that point. Don’t get me wrong- Nuha is likable but in the most forgetable of ways. There’s no artistry to its composition. If it conjures images of a vacation, then Nuha is one of the non playable characters in the background. Some people might call this an “easy reach” because it’s creamy and fruity and sweet. But, honey, be inspired by life. Don’t spend it dumbly reaching for uninspired, vapid, fragrances. There are tons of beautiful tropical fragrances out there that say something. You’re better than Nuha. Go get something magical.
