I love Liam Grey. It's such a stunning scent, I have nothing else like it in my collection. It gives cool girl vibes (or cool guy, as it's perfectly unisex to me), lasts forever and projects nicely. It's perfect for anyone who is not a fan or fruity florals for summer.

Casablance is a masterpiece. Definitely one of my top tier perfumes.

Agreed! I love tracking my own repeat choices throughout the month because we can totally show trends. The data tells a story about our life that month, in a way! There are so many factors going into what we choose to wear...weather, mood, season, activity, schedule, novelty, tradition, memory, cravings, etc. It is an art, a science, a product, and a symbol. I think that those creative and personal aspects of fragrance are what make videos like this one enjoyable and thought-provoking.

Hi Sim, First time posting on your channel. Please dont ever think that fragrances are talked about too much. I love your channel, and no matter what other KZreadrs have to say on their channels, i always come to hear what you have to say. You turned me on to Casablanca toped with Rare Passion. Oh my gosh, I am in love. This combo has me in a choke hold. Keep doing what you are doing. I love it all. Thank you.

Noooo, Miss Simin, don't tell us you make the simplest makeup because that is far from simple! Your eye makeup is soooo gorgeous always! 😍😍😍 I envy your eyelining skills because I have shaky hands. 😅 Can you tell Khadlaj to create a discovery set for their perfumes? Haha! Also, I'm really going to buy a decant of Shaghaf Oud Tonka in the next few months, maybe add Liam Gray too.

Hi Sim! I have almost all of these fragrances .I think you and I are fond of the oddball ones. I LOVE The Proposal...bring on the PlayDough! 😂 And Ghality from Lattafa (pencil shavings. Yeah!). I am waiting on my Opulence of Dubai...I have full confidence in your review. And Rare Passion. Lordy, how I love this one. I am on my second bottle. That orange blossom is just beautiful. I am surprised that I didn't see Khadlaj's Empire Victor here, as you have been raving about this fragrance too, although it is quite new. I have a question about this fragrance. First off, I own it and adore it, but it wasn't love at first sniff, but your description was sooo intriguing , I bought it. And your description was spot on. You are one of the reviewers whom I trust implicitly. Another content creator I trust just as much is Cee Chronicles with her reviews of ME scents. Last week, she reviewed Victor and described it as a vanilla bomb with a lemon cookie vibe and she did not detect any oud. You both love the fragrance, but are describing it entirely differently with different notes. So this has obviously been reformulated, yes? Which is the new version? Based on the comments in her video, it would appear that I am not alone in my confusion. Since Khadlaj works with you, I thought you would be the best person to ask!

Lamsat Harir es deslumbrante y Rare Passion es una obsesión para mí. Te encantarán estos perfumes mi cariño hermoso ❤

Hi my beautiful Hun, thanks for this wonderful video, love it so much. I somehow forgot about Rare Passion this winter, perhaps because I put some of the newer perfumes in front ( Rare Passion is always upstairs in the wardrobe as I consider this a perfect magical 10 out of 10 forever love) as soon as you mentioned it ,on this dark oh so cold day of 8 degrees, I moved the perfumes so it would be back in the front and sprayed it and OMG PERFUME COMA happened to me. I could not think ,just smell, it has become even more magical ( do I say this every time? If so forgive me but I actually feel it has become stronger and even more magical, impossible you say 🤣, I hear you ). How can one perfume have so much magic and still be also so wearable ( by this I mean I adore Amethyst and it sends me into a perfume coma but it is not something you could or would wear every day) but Rare Passion you could wear this ( with consequences, as you mentioned , about Ali's words 😅) every day everywhere and no one would object ( unless the beloved becomes too passionate in public 😅). But seriously that juice is magical and again I cannot find the words to describe this scent to someone. I tried for my best friend who has blind bought 4 of the perfumes I love and I could not find the right words no matter what as the notes do not do its magic justice, I feel. So with you on this perfume, my angel. Liam is a big love especially in muggy warm humid weather, a true life saver for me. I adore the scent profile as to me ( or in my fragrance wardrobe ) is unusual but always gets compliments even from the delivery guy who on a warm day delivered parcels and asked me what I was wearing, his wife's birthday was coming up. He said how expensive is this, she would adore this and he was amazed at the price as it was about $60 Oz dollars then and he bought it for her. He said he loves it so much on her. I do not have any of the others, sadly. I would one day most definitely like to own one of the beloved Khadlaj perfumes , sadly there are only a few in Oz so far and I am on my no purchase rule for a while until later when I can get a Khadlaj perfume that I know will be a ten out of 10. Funny thing happened, Gerry finally started wearing the Middle Eastern scents I bought him , one in particular, and said ( he had forgotten what I told him about maceration ) how different it smells now and that he truly loves it. But being the way things sometimes go, it has been discontinued so I was very lucky to find the last one in Oz ( wrote to several suppliers and shops) , they found it just the day before I wrote to them and they offered me another one for such a low price to go with it for me and I am thinking of getting that one. Sentimental reasons as the name is Summer 69 and the scent profile is different and unique and I would love to own this but I would not have done this except for this offer but still have not pulled the trigger but have bought the Desert Oud by Nabeel for Gerry. OK I must be brave and go and have a shower. Why brave, I feel soooo cold I do not wish to get undressed , only I know the warmth of the shower will help the Fibro pains. I would love to see you for your Eid this June. So much love my angel, light and healing vibes, always, your Tia ❤❤💫❤❤

One hundred percent yes! Although they are the same genre, they are different from each other. I would suggest getting one and if you like it then get the other coz you will know for sure if you like the DNA

I can’t smell the similarity between the two, is it my nose? I love musamam, but it’s nothing like Liam to me. Liam just smells like a man’s perfume, and I’m one that’s also happy to wear masculine and unisex perfumes. Is it just me? What’s similar about them? What am I missing? Simin help explain please😅

Does Casablanca smell anything like Lattafa Sublime? Both Apple based….

No not at all babe! Sublime is a fruity fragrance and Casablanca is more like an apple pie 😍

I like how you describe the fragrances, but our styles are completely opposite. You like the fresh and fruit and tropical, and I love the dark, the heavy and the Gothic. Will you ever make a dark Middle Eastern list?

Heyaaaa! I had a video on Vampire Perfumes hehe. Coz I am obsessed with Gothic Perfumes as well. I am sure you will love that one. I too love dark perfumes but it switches during the Dubai heat ❤

Do you feel Musamam White changes with maturation?

100% but it only take like a month to macerate. Or at least mine did. And it is getting better by the day since ❤❤❤

@@SiminShaikh sounds great! It is one of my first middle-eastern fragrances alongside Khadlaj La Fede Lavish Rouge (which smells right now like the original Libre) and I opened both just a week ago. So not much experience with the maturation process….

Is Casablanca headache inducing or strong

@hexasus

Ай бұрын

It gives me a headache, and sadly, it's not worth the headache for me. I don't think it smells particularly great. I don't get the gourmand, caramel, or apple pie that everyone speaks of. I get green apple with a note in the back that's very sharp and 'perfumey', which is the best way I can explain it. That hurts my head, lol

@SiminShaikh

Ай бұрын

Oh no thats so sad. So for the longest time, I avoided Casablanca coz I hate the Apple note in perfumes. It makes me gag. But then one day Casa was on discount and lo and behold Sim bought it. So weird that I don't find it too sweet and that apple just disappears in a bit. It is insane how different perfumes smell on everyone no? ❤

I don’t wear perfumes for compliments, but I’m so surprised that the only compliment I have ever received is for Nasheet. And I have about 12 middle eastern perfumes.

@SiminShaikh

Ай бұрын

Yea Nasheet would do that! It is so uniquely intriguing. I would ask a person what they were wearing if I smelled it on anyone ️♥️

I wish I got all the loveliness in Musamam. I don't. The sandalwood smells like pickle juice and that's all I get. No coconut at all.

Babe you might have got a bad batch. It is supposed to be a spicy coconut vanilla perfume. Is there anyway you can return it?

@MyKitchen12

Ай бұрын

I must say it is the same for me. My husband and daughter, who are very patient with my fragrances, find it repulsive. There is no vanilla, no coconut. It is extremely woody, quite plasticky and with citrus notes. 😕 I don't find that it matches any descriptions on youtube.

Musamam started out smelling quite animatic to me. Give it some time and you’ll discover the beauty. Leave it for a month or two and come back to it. It becomes so beautiful, unique, an all round smooth blend… very opulent too.

My nose does not smell like your nose, i know every ones nose smell perfumes different, greetings from the Netherlands

I really don't like Gris charnel, both extrait and the original. I always get headaches from them. Musamam white for me is also in the same family and I can't stand ii too😮. Just adding this comment to higlight that scents are very subjective.

@AnaLaura-meowsofgreece

I didn't like Liam too, very repellent and cheap smelling for my taste that's why I haven't bought Musamam white. Indeed our noses are very subjective to perfumes.
