About three years ago I got rid of my entire 250+ full bottle fragrance collection. I just recently within the last three months started collecting again so this video is very fitting for me! First I got my favorite designer fragrances back but I have focused much more on Middle Eastern fragrances these last two months now. My collection is well over 100 bottles already, mostly Middle Eastern. I'm obsessed. Seriously cannot get enough. My favorite in my entire Middle Eastern collection is Ajayeb Dubai, the black bottle. It's so sexy on me, especially on my skin. I get the gourmand but also florals shine big time on me, making it more feminine leaning as opposed to unisex, or even masculine leaning, as others have claimed. I've got four backup bottles since they're only $20/each right now and I'm sure the price will go up as we've seen with many of our favorite Middle Eastern fragrances over the last few years (looking at you Casablanca!). 😂😂

Dang, you got me thinking about it. I didn’t like the yellow one too much though. I got a chemical smell from it. But I might look into this one. I did hear one KZfaqr talk about it only because they gave her the wrong bottle when she ordered the yellow one.

How are people loving Mohra Silky Rose? I live in the UAE so I know I didn't buy a dupe coz I ordered if from Lattafa directly. It's smells like any bubble gummy Britney Spears or JLo kindda fragrance, I got absolutely no rose and trust me I love my rose scents (I gravitate towards rose by default) I had to use the Silky Rose as a room freshener just to finish it 🤦🏽‍♀️ And don't get me started on Oud Tonka 😅 it's like a medicinal almond massage oil that Indian moms use to massage infants with 😂 again, I love Tonka, but Oud Tonka is straight up medicinal sickly sweet almonds. The dry down is pleasant, but you gotta wait for a good 30 minutes and I have neither the patience nor the will to buy a perfume that I can't enjoy from the get go, first spirtz, first sniff 😅 I've noticed people in the West enjoy Lattafa fragrances more, could be that I grew up in the Middle East and used to such overly sweet scents, and oud and bukhoor in home incense to perfumes, that I don't enjoy them as much. Swiss Arabian has some awesome gems like Rose 01 (fresh rosy, very Delina like), Amber 01 (cold, almost frozen yet fresh amber) Amber 07 (gourmand deeper amber) Hamsah (a beautiful splash of orange blossom with sweet honey) Inara (softer version of Chanel Allure), Inara Oud (a starter Oud for anyone just stepping into oud scents, good for summer) which in my opinion are far better than Oud Tonka.

I had almost given up on my bottle of Silky Rose. However, after around 2 months on my dressing table I gave it another 'try'. OMG the change was amazing. I now love the fragrance when just a few weeks ago, I hated it. Perhaps it is the weather, perhaps it is my mood or maybe it is all those things. I now get it. I too love the fragrance.

Nice list, Maria! I have a decant of Gris Charnel and own Liam. I would say they are about 90% similar. I don't feel like it's masculine, but rather unisex.The opening is a bit different in Liam, but other than that... Definitely classy. A great, easy reach fragrance for me is Shaghaf for Women ( not Shaghaf Oud). A summery, citrusy opening with praline in the base. It's so much more than just a grab and go fragrance. I dont understand why C.A.C.A.O. isn't more popular. It's divine. Perhaps people were expecting something more gourmand. I am not normally someone who likes patchouli, but this is done so well with a suggestion of chocolate. I would also include Swiss Arabian's Casablanca. Caramel apples and grapes...yum! Finally, I also would include Lattafa's Nasheet which is duping Nishane's Ani. I love this vanilla. I find it comforting, but the opening isn't for everyone. Still, I need this. Always!

@dawnyakathem5374 2 ай бұрын

I love ME fragrances videos. They are so informative and trust me when I say I have no guilt in blind buying them. If I had to start over I would def start with ME fragrances: From Lattafa: infini rose, infini musk, yara tous, leen, so candid, reyna, and narissa (her). From Orientia, Amber Rouge. From Afnan Mystique Bouquet. From Emper, Rouge Prive. These are some of the best long lasting and projecting fragrances in my collection. and they are the cheapest priced for sure. I have had the originals at one point and decided to sell them because it was exactly the same or pretty close.

I feel like Gris Charnel and Liam are very similar with Liam maybe being a tad more vanillic in the dry down. Liam seems more masculine at first spray, but not in the dry down. Considering the price difference, it’s a no brainer to me. If you want it sweeter, layer it with a sweet vanilla oil or lotion.

I am surprised anyone would find Liam Grey too masculine - I think it is right in the middle and not masculine leaning at all. I love it! So many great picks, and I have many of them (Shaghaf Tonka, Liam Grey, Bois de Vanille) and I actually bought Barakkat Gentle Gold and Atlantis based on your recommendation!❤❤ I do also have C.A.C.A.O, and I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle, but my bottle smells very oud-y almost on the edge of a barnyard oud, which I do not enjoy. As a result, that one was a big disappointment! I absolutely love Middle Eastern fragrances though, so thanks for this video and can't wait to see the upcoming one with you and Val!

Hi Maria, long time viewer here, I just love your reviews. I really love the Baroque Satin Oud. Fantastic! I can't wait to get the Atlantis as I love lemon or Linden blossom with hyacinth. Currently I am wearing Shafaq by Ard al zaafaran which is supposed to be a dupe for Britania by Roja Dove. It's a citrus coconut fragrance. Love it. Nobody is reviewing it right now. Have you tried it? I know the OG Roja is like $1200, but I wouldn't pay more than $30 for this because although I love it, it's not very complex and doesn't blow my socks off. I couldn't even imagine paying for the OG! I have Sondos by Lattafa and Pose as Rose by Fragrance World (dupe for Rose Cherie by Guerlain) coming in the mail this week. I love these middle eastern perfumes! The affordable price points have totally spoiled me.

I own both BDK Velvet Tonka and SWISS ARABIAN Shaghaf Oud Tonka. And Shaghaf Tonka is definitely a dupe for Velvet Tonka. They are like 90% similar imo. ST is louder, has more almond and more gourmand-leaning, but other than that they are very similar.

Le Monde Gourmand Fraise Fouettée Eau De Parfum It reminds me of strawberry milk or strawberry Quik. Also Coach Love. It's a beautiful wild strawberry. I totally forgot about that one.

How can I learn to love MFK Oud Satin Mood DNA? All I smell is powdery candied violets / old grandma 😵‍💫 it’s nauseating for me

Same. I hate it. I keep going back to it to see if it changes or my nose changes but nope. Hate it every time.

I know this is going to sound a bit strange. The first time I sampled it, I mistakenly oversaturated my hand and it was quite screechy and a 'no'. I washed a sink full of dishes and then cleaned my tub. Dried my hands and was met with a beautiful rosy, woody fragrance 🙃 sooo when I sampled it the next time I sprayed it from a much greater distance from my skin (and sparingly)and then I was like ooooh okay. I've heard the oil version is more, um, tolerable

I tried Atlantis on your video recommend. I smelled it when I first sprayed it but then nothing after that. It smelled good but it did not last at all. After about 5 minutes I smelled nothing. Either I got a bad bottle or because I have been sick my smeller is off or maybe that is just how it is. Way to light for me

That’s too bad. Maybe give it some time to see if your sniffer improves. The fragrance may need to mature for a month too…sometimes that helps with middle eastern. I found it to be quite potent, that said sometimes people will go anosmic to certain fragrances. I hope it ends up working out for you!

@@mariacollettlifeso it is quite possibly my nose and being sick cuz I am not smelling anything even my strong perfumes so I will smell it after I am 100% well. It also could be how it shipped as when I got it the bottle was quite hot. Not shipped in AC.

Maria, I have a question for you. Do you know of any clones of Narcisso Rodriguez fragrances? Specifically, the Musks? I really love the black bottle Narcisso for her and Rose Musk Noir but, unfortunately, I can no longer pay upwards of $100 for fragrances. I'm try to find a clone for something similar to those 2 and thought if anyone knew, it would be you (or Val! Lol) I have been into fragrance for a very long time. I was hit head on by an uninsured driver and am now disabled. I have no financial recourse because he doesn't have a pot to piss in, so I've essentially lost everything. I love that Arabic fragrances are becoming mainstream and that these brands are cloning really amazing scents because I've missed out on so many things because of my accident. At the very least, I can get a $20 perfume every so often. Family will even get me one for Christmas, or Birthday. It's nice to not feel bad if someone gets you a gift you can't afford to get for yourself. I miss being able to buy something just because I need/want to. Clones give a tiny bit of that freedom back. Have a wonderful day! 💗🤟🏻🌸

DUA has a dupe of Rose Musc Noir for $33. I haven’t tried it but they usually do a really good job. Free shipping as well.
