I love Niche Royal Vert! When I got a chance to try the OG Rouge malachite after seeing lots of mentions plans reviews, I also tried the vert malachite that was next to it and I realised that was more my style. I have since picked up a couple of dupes of vert malachite, first was Riiffs and then the Niche Royal Vert. Even though I already had the Riiffs one, when I smelt the niche Royal vert in a store I just could not leave without it!

I like Lataffa's Rave Now Black. it's a pineapple fragrance, which I love. They say it's for men, but I can't see it at all for men, the dry down is so feminine.....it's a real summer fragrance.

I have a decant of Vert Malachite and fell in love with it. So last year I was on a mission to find an inexpensive alternative. I blind bought Niche Royal Vert but to my nose it over-emphasized the jasmine while the ylang-ylang was underrepresented compared to the original. I gave my bottle to a friend, and bought Emper Luxe Verde, which I love and it mirrors the proportion of jasmine and ylang-ylang in the OG. It's super inexpensive too.

Bade oud sublime also on the list only because I’m mad at Mona atm I thought a gal from Dubai would get things to last? But Mona is amazing at the blends!! 😢 shagaf tonka as I have no tonka scent. (As far as the Serge Luten dupes? He’s my fav perfumer after Ropion!I love him too much to buy dupes. No one can get close to him.) the cacao one is also on the list as I have no chocolate scent, and choco musk? That everyone recommends, I can’t smell it 😢 and the rouge malachite dupe, on my list as well as Khair as well.and I’m soooo excited for Khair pistachio!! Because I’m saving money by not getting pistachio gelato!! I can get a tiny pre owned soleil blanc on Mercari ha I think these middle eastern scents are great for when you see a perfume 200$ and up…. If things are 100 to 150$ I still prefer the original! Anyway I love your reviews alone of designer and niche as your nose is very similar to what I love 💕 and I also love when Val comes on it’s just like double mint gum!! 😂thx Marie!!

Niche Royal Rouge is the one that is like rouge malachite. Rouge malachite is similar to the only one intense in the black bottle.

I don’t think Gris charnel or Liam is masculine but it isn’t feminine either. It’s unisex. Unisex to me means that it’s not feminine or masculine. It smells slightly cold, tea and sandalwood. I believe that you can get samples of LIAM on perfume online so maybe that would be a good way to go! 😀

I ordered a travel-sized Gris Charnel and to me, it smells very sophisticated. I have 4 other full bottles of BDK fragrances that I like better, but I would not be opposed to Liam at a better price point. (I bought Velvet Tonka...and then turned around and bought Shaghaf Oud Tonka because I didn't know it was a dupe. The notes in Velvet Tonka are already mature. The Shaghaf Oud Tonka smells "new and fresher" so I cleared the straw and am letting it age. It probably will smell more like Velvet Tonka in a few months...but then, when I made my own almond extract, it took a LONG time to take on flavor. I expect this will be the same.

How's it now? You need to spray few sprays in the air. Let it rest in the dark for a couple of weeks and then come back to it. I know it's a like a whole process! 😅

@@manuka7313I did what you said and it worked just great! Then, because of some reviews, I bought another Lattafa Yara Tous because people said it smells like mango, and I am very disappointed. The product is good, nice smell, lasts long, but there is no mango smell in there.

Hello, can you tell me if Liam Grey has saffron or oud in it?

@mariacollettlife 4 ай бұрын

It doesn't have either. It has black tea and fig...it does have cardamom though.

@mariacollettlife thank you for your response. It's very helpful and I appreciate it. Now, if I only knew what cardamom smelled like in fragrances...🤣

Do you think that “khair pistachio” would work well on a man? Would it be nice for a woman to smell it on a man?

Everything IS NOT a dupe. I get so tired of hearing that. Let the fragrances stand on its own.

I'm with you. I don't care if it's a dupe or not. I just appreciate the scents as stand alone as long as they are gorgeous

Cut the crap, Maria! Is this video sponsored? Did you know that you have to pay tax on your PR and sponsorships?

@mariacollettlife 5 ай бұрын

No it’s not sponsored.

I’m sorry you are having a bad day but your tone and message are quite rude. Apparently you don’t follow Maria or you would know better. I pray things get better for you. Now, try going back and watching the video that Maria referenced throughout which explains her choices. I pray brightness and happiness enters your heart.
