Hey Arahi! Yes! I love maceration videos! Can’t wait for part 2! Tbh, December Vanille changed so much for me, when I first got it the hit of patchouli was unbearable 😵💫, it smelled like a hippie/yoga store, now its much more soft and the creme brûlée is more noticeable… I saw that you mentioned the Kayali one is much more boozy so I ran and layered my December Vanille with Mixed Bar Vanilla Bourbon and 😱😱😱 I am not decluttering it anymore! Just what I was missing!
Yassssss! OMG loving that you did a full circle on declutterring that fragrance but using your creativity! That layering combo sounds like 🔥🔥 As much as we all don’t like to be patient and go through a maceration process…. It is a must as you know with there fragrances! I is a true game changer! I am so so glad you are now enjoying these gems! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jill! I had been planning to do this for several weeks but there is always other content that takes priority because there is so much going on! But I needed to do this because maceration does make a difference! Part 2 is even more interesting because O have some heavy hitters from the niche side that I can’t even believe the inspired by fragrances have been able to emulate so nicely! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Arahi, I love your videos, thank you for showing me so many facets that perfumes have. I love them so much, for me perfume is an essential accessory ❤️ Big hug 🤗🥰🌹
Hi Mercy! Sending you a big hug right back! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I too can't imagine not spraying myself every day with a liquid that makes me feel good! It does not have to be expensive but it has to do the trick of lifting my spirit and making me feel beautiful! 😂 😂 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was such a great, satisfying video! I really appreciate the time, love and care that you put into these reviews, I leave feeling empowered about my fragrance choices! ❤❤❤
Yayyyy! That is exactly what I love.... knowing that the Fam is growing more and more confident in their fragrance choices!! We are all learning together! Have a great evening and don't miss the Short I just published because oh boy! 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
I'm here Arahi❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much for the review. I have Lataffa Teriaq and when I bought it I like it but I let it sit for a month and then oh my I love it. It's an exquisite fragrance and love the leather that it has in it. Really loving it. Love all the Middle Eastern fragrances. Can't wait for part 2. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello! 👋🏽 I think you are wise to keep your money in your pocket 😂😂 because to like this fragrance you have to at least like rhubarb because it comes through clear! Did you ever get your nose on La Belle? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have both Kayali and a decant of December Vanilla and leaning towards Kayali, not by much but somehow it seems sweeter, deeper to my nose. They are veryyy close though, maybe I am picky because it’s my signature scent for cooler months.
Hi Malika! I don't think you are being picky! I just think you are getting truly what your skin chemistry is doing with the fragrance! And like you said... these 2 are just so close to being 100% 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hello hello! You're welcome! And I am definitely loving these nails! This is the first time I do this shape and am loving it! Welcome Summer! 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
Hi Arahi !!! I so enjoyed this video and info !!! You are right on point !!! Teriaq ....I like better than Le Belle. Love Ajayeb ! Never have been a fan of Oud fot Greatness...;-(.......My bottle of Eclaire...boy ! has it gotten "better"...quickly...lol....I really like it now. i am still "on the fence" about trying Pink to Pink,,(?). I just ordered the new Lattafa- Sehr (supposedly a "male gourmand" (?)..and the new Armaf Club de Nuit Precieux 1...I will keep you posted !!!
Hi John Carlo! Ohhh I am very interested in hearing about Club De Nuit Precieux! I just want to make sure it is not really masculine! And be sure not to miss the Short video at 6 today! I really think you would enjoy Ajwad Pink to Pink but must say it would be taking a chance because it is close to Oud for Greatness for sure! Have a great evening! ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
Hi Arahi, and happy Thursday! I love that you came back to these fragrances to tell us more about how they compare to the originals. I can't wait for part 2! Now that the weather has been getting warmer, I've really been wearing Ajayeb Dubai Portrait a lot - it is so good! I also have to tell you that I picked up Caramel Oud, Rabab Gems, and Voux Elegante based on your recommendations, and I love them all - they are really great additions to my collection! Thanks so much, as always! ❤❤❤❤
Hi Erin! Oh I am so happy you are enjoying that incredible lineup of fragrances because they are really special! Voux Elegante has me on a chokehold for sure and I have been testing one today that is coming to the channel soon that OMG! I can't wait to tell you all about it! In part 2 of this video you are going to find comparisons that could be considered very controversial!! 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
@@ArahiWorld Oooh, I can't wait to find out what new fragrance you are obsessing over! Yes, I think Voux Elegante might be my favorite out of my recent purchases - there is something so special and unique about it, as I definitely don't have anything similar to it. I also can't wait for your upcoming controversial opinions - looking forward to some juicy content! 😲😂❤❤
Love this comparison❤ I definitely commented about the how similar mango kiss is to its ME counterpart. I couldn’t tell the difference, but I also didn’t love either of them although I did just spray mango kiss but I sold to Dubai Portrait.
I appreciate the “after maceration” videos!! Yes Middle East scents can rock!! But letting them sit for several months or spending money on something that is just a mess? Well those cheapies can add up to a big mistake!$$ ha 😅
Hello and happy Friday! Totally valid point there.... so that is why I decided to add ME fragrances to the content of the channel because it is all about Purpose in what I do.... and you are right these fragrances do add up! So I am hoping I can help the Fam make well informed decisions on their fragrance purchases even if they only cost $20! At the end of the day.... hard earned money is hard earned money regardless of a price point! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Arahi! Thank you for another great review. I've been curious about the fragrances left macerating, you read my mind. I've been contemplating a few of the fragrances you mentioned in this video but you've helped me make the right choices. Thank you for creating and sharing ❤❤❤
Hi Angela! As you know maceration is key! I am so glad you had the self control to wait for me to come with updates! Please let us know what you end up picking up and your thoughts! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Arahi, great video I always love how you come back to the fragrances, and let us know how it is. Watching your videos is always so soothing and relaxing. Thank you ! blessings to you and you family 💛🩷💛
Good morning and happy Friday! Thanks so much for the Blessings as we can never have enough of them! And of course, thanks so much for the kindness of your words! Have a great rest of this day and see you soon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I also love teriaq more than la belle! I didnt initially but after it sat for a few months the leather note became much smoother, and I also like the apricot in teriaq more than the pear in la belle
Hey Samantha! I am right there with you in the Apricot! I don’t know… there are so many things that could have gone wrong with this one but I am so happy Teriaq came through! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi sweedie ❤that colour looks amazingon you 🤗...I finally got 2 recommendations frm one of your ME videos awhile back. Because of living in the Caribbean and all 🇹🇹 it took me soon time. I am pleased with BOTH. Ajayeb - Portrait🥰 (sooooo unique-to me and I haven't smelt something like it before) and Andaleeb - so sweet but nice and loving the bottle. Sprayed them out and have put them to macerate 😉...I also picked up the one in the black bottle @ Ajayeb. I bought Spell Bound in the brown and black box for my husband....I can -NOT stop 'sniffing it' - to me it smells delicious. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with me (us❤️) keep safe sweedie and take care❣️
Hi Joy! So glad to hear that you are enjoying all these awesome fragrances! And you will just love them more and more as time goes by..... Thanks so much for the compliment! I am just trying to bring on the Summer vibe already as where I live we still have days in the 40Fs and 50Fs! Take care! ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hi Charlotte! I am glad you like it I am just sorry I had not had the chance to do it sooner because it was truly overdue! The changes in these fragrances after maceration are real! 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
Hi Arahi! I agree that Teriaq has similarities to LaBelle, if you swap out the pear with apricot. But I prefer the leather in Teriaq which, to my nose, comes off more like suede. I feel like you and I are in the minority when it comes to Lattafa's Pink-to-Pink. I love it, but so many folks seem to hate it. You have to love guava and tropical fruits. I think its a fantastic summer scent! December Vanilla is not quite as strong as Kayali. I love that fragrance, but Kayali's just overwhelms me. December Vanilla I can wear without getting a headache.🙃
Hi Ami and happy Friday! Oh wow.... I bet you it is the florals in the Kayali that give you that headache... 😮 🤔 Had not heard that before! I am glad though that you are enjoying that scent profile with December Vanilla.... it is such an awesome fragrance! Soo 😂😂😂😂 my controversial opinion on La Belle is one I kept to myself for a long time and I knew most would not agree! Now that Teriaq has had a good chance to sit I am just in happy land! Now you now how radical my love is for Ajwad Pink to Pink!!! I could wear it every day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂
Hello. I smelled Plur today at Sephora and Mango wood gives pink to pink a run for her money. But Toleen Leen and Pink to Pi k are on my Summer list. I have Ajayeb. And I look forward to wearing it this summer.
Hello! Are you talking about Phlur Mango Mood because if you are I own it and do enjoy it but it does not give me a similar vibe at all to Ajwad Pink to Pink... Ajwad is quite intense and has notes that are quite different then Mango Mood. Let me know as now I am curious! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your video! I absolutely love La Belle, was one of the first to get it when it was first launched. But im sufferring with even liking Teriaq. I just can't, so many annoying things are there for me
Great update video thanks looking forward to part 2. Would love if you reviewed Gissah the truly popular arab fragrances in the UAE. One and only sora and ellora are beautiful for spring summer
Good morning and happy Sunday! I actually have a dedicated video on the channel where I am speaking and reviewing Gissah fragrances. It is under the title of Middle Eastern luxury fragrances! Check it out and let me know your thoughts!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorldi didn’t mean you weren’t detailed, I was complimenting you on how detailed you are in your descriptions. I appreciate it because most reviewers are vague. You did a great job.
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Thanks so much for taking the time to clarify and for the kindness in your words! I do very much appreciate it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Arahi! This is a great video. I absolutely love Teriaq. I don’t get any similarities between Tribeca and Honor and Glory. Two totally different fragrances to my nose 💜
Good morning and happy Sunday! Thanks so much! I am so glad you too see what I mean about Tribeca and Honor & Glory because OMG! I just don’t know where that comparison came from! 🤷♀️ 🤷😂❤️❤️❤️
Good morning and happy Friday! I really encourage you to give Teriaq a chance.... this is just another one of those ME fragrances that really needs to sit! Let us know how this all goes between you and Teriaq! 😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi beautiful Arahi.I feel the same ,about Teriaq..when i sniff first time,the leather was so prominent and I was disappointed! Now ,after macerate i like it.The same with lataffa/Ajayeb Dubai,same fragrances we..have to give some time to be more nice or worst!😂 ❤
Hi Isabella and happy Friday! I totally agree that we always need to give these fragrances time no matter how hard it may be play the patience game! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorld Happy Friday ,my dear Arahi!Have a good time with your family and I' m all ready impatient 😁 to review the new Lataffa perfume.I trust you ...🥰❤
Unfortunately ajwad pink to pink did not work for me. I get a juicy guava but the leather in it is soooo strong on my skin and it's not a quality leather at all to me. And I usually love leather in my perfumes but I had to away my bottle. I haven't tried Oud maracuja yet
Hi Betty! So good to hear from you! I do understand the issue with the leather on skin.... but I suspect that you may also not like Oud Maracuja! Maybe you could get a sample and see how you like it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Arahi 😊 spot on about Tariaq! I much prefer that over La Belle. I've had my eye on Royal. I haven't taken the plunge yet. I'm concerned it might be a bit too masculine for me. Have a wonderful week. What's left anyway ❤❤❤
Hi Denise! I really think you should get a sample of Royale because that is one of those fragrances thatis really not a crowd pleaser! But for those who love that scent profile it is an absolute must! Have you tried Initio's Oud for Greatness? I would say that if you love the one you will love the other despite their differences! ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
@ArahiWorld Thank you, Arahi, yup, that is why I have put it off. I know you are right. I have the entire Shaghaf collection except Royal. Do you know where I might buy a sample? I checked Swiss Arabian USA, nope. I'm going to call Maison d' Orient tomorrow, they are so good. If they can help, they always pull through. Can you think of anywhere else? Thank you 😀
Hey arahi do you have a video on middle Easter fragrances that do not contain oud ? And a video on middle eastern ( beast mode) fragrances? If so can you provide the link for me? Thank you! Love the nails by the way and the look!
Hello! So there is a new fragrance from Paris Corner that is supposed to be pretty much the same! But let see…. I am planning to have it on the channel… I can’t remember the exact name but I know it is like Zephyr… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello hello! Yes it is! When I first heard about the comparison of those 2 I quickly ordered the Lattafa one because I was in complete denial! That actually happens to me a lot! 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
Good morning and happy Sunday! I did not compare Karus because I had already picked up another fragrance that is supposed to be inspired by Rose D’Arabie. As you know I own the OG and I try not to pick up fragrance after fragrance of the same! I have a limited budget so have to be cautious in my choices…. I do understand your request so let’s see…. If find a great deal out there! Have a great Sunday! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know why my honor and glory doesn’t give me Gormont at all it doesn’t give me sweet pineapple or sweet caramel it’s almost green and semi masculine and I keep waiting for it to macerate and I keep hoping it will become what everyone describes it ours but I’ve had it for at least five months and it still does not reach the description that everyone talks about. I really wonder if I got a bad bottle? I’m so tempted to buy it again but I don’t know if I’m just getting something different with my nose
Hello and happy Friday! I do understand how frustrating this is for you as we just want to enjoy our fragrance once it arrives! I would encourage you to let it sit for maybe another month before spending on another bottle as we want to rule out the possibility of it just not working well with your skin chemistry! In addition, it's not like you have to rush to pick up another bottle as this is not a limited edition fragrance! Just my opinion! But... please let us know how your fragrance continues to evolve! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a heads up, it’s not macerating the perfume it’s Maturating. The maceration process is done while making the perfume and maturation is whenever you have purchased and start using it. It matures while your spraying it.
Good morning and thanks for jumping in to clarify. While you are correct about the terms and their meaning please note that as it relates to Middle Eastern fragrances I am eluding to both terms: Maceration and Maturation. It is my understanding that the reason some Middle Eastern fragrances can be offered at such an affordable price is because the standard production time, which includes Maceration, is cut short. Therefore, in most instances when you receive an affordable Middle Eastern fragrance you have to allow time for it to Macerate and then also go through the Maturation process. This is definitely in line with my experience as a consumer and collector of ME fragrances. This has not been the case with my high end ME perfumes though. Maturation actually happens with any fragrance in my collection weather it's Western Niche, ME, Designer, etc. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How does junoon noir compare performance wise to dama bianca? (Performance is sometimes why I would prefer a ME fragrance if it is better and they are 85%+ similar )
Hi Sally! Junoon Noir has a tad bit better performance in the area of projection which is the first 2 to 3 hours compared to Dama which tops at 2 every time. Otherwise they both give you a full day of wear without a problem! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh pls pls tell me do you have something close to a soleil blanc duper? For me? Most of the Arabic dupes are very strong better suited for. Fall winter!? I have yet to find one coconut! ( NO pineapple or mango!)!
😂😂😂 Believe me!!!m The day I find a Soleil Blanc dupe I will probably be picking up 5 bottles because it is one of my favorite fragrances Period!.... but that price point is not an easy one! As far as the Coconut one.... have you tried Asad Zanzibar? You do have to enjoy a Unisex fragrance though! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorld girl right!!! I’ve looked and looked for over a year!! I just find it sooo odd that Alhambra I believe has like six of the TF dupes but not that one 🤦♀️
Does the Junoon Noir have the Ambrette like dama bianca, to your nose? I know fragrantica doesn’t list it..but I’m hoping it has that note? To me it helps give an airy quality?
One of the best reviewers..
Hi Arlene! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
Hey Arahi! Yes! I love maceration videos! Can’t wait for part 2! Tbh, December Vanille changed so much for me, when I first got it the hit of patchouli was unbearable 😵💫, it smelled like a hippie/yoga store, now its much more soft and the creme brûlée is more noticeable… I saw that you mentioned the Kayali one is much more boozy so I ran and layered my December Vanille with Mixed Bar Vanilla Bourbon and 😱😱😱 I am not decluttering it anymore!

I am so so glad you are now enjoying these gems! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s a great idea! Going to add it to some of my favorites!❤
December Vanilla is so beautiful to me. I’ve never smelled the OG.
Hello! Truly beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video is very informative for those that didn't know.
Hey Arahi - great idea to circle around on these, as everyone seems so caught up in maceration these days! Yay for Part 2 🙌🏻 can’t wait!
Hi Jill! I had been planning to do this for several weeks but there is always other content that takes priority because there is so much going on! But I needed to do this because maceration does make a difference! Part 2 is even more interesting because O have some heavy hitters from the niche side that I can’t even believe the inspired by fragrances have been able to emulate so nicely! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
teriaq is like a performance monster, last all day only with 2 sprays
Dear Arahi, I love your videos, thank you for showing me so many facets that perfumes have.
I love them so much, for me perfume is an essential accessory ❤️
Big hug 🤗🥰🌹
Hi Mercy! Sending you a big hug right back! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I too can't imagine not spraying myself every day with a liquid that makes me feel good! It does not have to be expensive but it has to do the trick of lifting my spirit and making me feel beautiful! 😂 😂 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hello gorgeous!❤❤ looking gorgeous as always!
Practical and honest. We need more videos like this because we usually get first impression videos.
Hello! I understand.... because a first impression does not really tell us the entire story! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For me Initio is a must.... I have 9 of their fragrances and am completely in love with each! which one is your favorite? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Madelyn! Thank you so much! Enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would like to try Tariaq, but that rhubarb note is keeping my money in my pocket.
Hello! 👋🏽 I think you are wise to keep your money in your pocket 😂😂 because to like this fragrance you have to at least like rhubarb because it comes through clear! Did you ever get your nose on La Belle? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wanted to love Teriaq so much because of the hype. I am not a fan. I’ve kept it hoping it will get better.
😂😂😂
I don’t get rhubarb in it at all
I get more caramel in teriaq? Apricotty caramel on me
I have both Kayali and a decant of December Vanilla and leaning towards Kayali, not by much but somehow it seems sweeter, deeper to my nose. They are veryyy close though, maybe I am picky because it’s my signature scent for cooler months.

Great update video thanks looking forward to part 2. Would love if you reviewed Gissah the truly popular arab fragrances in the UAE. One and only sora and ellora are beautiful for spring summer
Good morning and happy Sunday! I actually have a dedicated video on the channel where I am speaking and reviewing Gissah fragrances. It is under the title of Middle Eastern luxury fragrances! Check it out and let me know your thoughts!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Detailed comparisons,
much appreciated!!
Hello! Will do! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorldi didn’t mean you weren’t detailed, I was complimenting you on how detailed you are in your descriptions. I appreciate it because most reviewers are vague. You did a great job.
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Thanks so much for taking the time to clarify and for the kindness in your words! I do very much appreciate it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Arahi! This is a great video. I absolutely love Teriaq. I don’t get any similarities between Tribeca and Honor and Glory. Two totally different fragrances to my nose 💜
Good morning and happy Sunday! Thanks so much! I am so glad you too see what I mean about Tribeca and Honor & Glory because OMG! I just don’t know where that comparison came from! 🤷♀️ 🤷😂❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed Teriaq from the first sniff, but I haven’t tried it since the first sniff. I love LaBelle, but need to circle back to Teriaq.
Good morning and happy Friday! I really encourage you to give Teriaq a chance.... this is just another one of those ME fragrances that really needs to sit! Let us know how this all goes between you and Teriaq! 😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi beautiful Arahi.I feel the same ,about Teriaq..when i sniff first time,the leather was so prominent and I was disappointed! Now ,after macerate i like it.The same with lataffa/Ajayeb Dubai,same fragrances we..have to give some time to be more nice or worst!😂 ❤
Hi Isabella and happy Friday! I totally agree that we always need to give these fragrances time no matter how hard it may be play the patience game! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorld Happy Friday ,my dear Arahi!Have a good time with your family and I' m all ready impatient 😁 to review the new Lataffa perfume.I trust you ...🥰❤
Hellow Arahi catching up with very busy great to see you again much appreciated 🤗
Good morning and happy Saturday! So glad you are able to catch up and hope all is well! Thanks si much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately ajwad pink to pink did not work for me. I get a juicy guava but the leather in it is soooo strong on my skin and it's not a quality leather at all to me. And I usually love leather in my perfumes but I had to away my bottle. I haven't tried Oud maracuja yet
Hi Betty! So good to hear from you! I do understand the issue with the leather on skin.... but I suspect that you may also not like Oud Maracuja! Maybe you could get a sample and see how you like it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Arahi 😊 spot on about Tariaq! I much prefer that over La Belle. I've had my eye on Royal. I haven't taken the plunge yet. I'm concerned it might be a bit too masculine for me. Have a wonderful week. What's left anyway ❤❤❤
Hi Denise! I really think you should get a sample of Royale because that is one of those fragrances thatis really not a crowd pleaser! But for those who love that scent profile it is an absolute must! Have you tried Initio's Oud for Greatness? I would say that if you love the one you will love the other despite their differences! ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
@ArahiWorld Thank you, Arahi, yup, that is why I have put it off. I know you are right. I have the entire Shaghaf collection except Royal. Do you know where I might buy a sample? I checked Swiss Arabian USA, nope. I'm going to call Maison d' Orient tomorrow, they are so good. If they can help, they always pull through. Can you think of anywhere else? Thank you 😀
@@DDH64812 Hi Denise and happy Saturday! I really can't think of another place as I too use Maison d'Orient! 😂❤❤❤
Hey arahi do you have a video on middle Easter fragrances that do not contain oud ? And a video on middle eastern ( beast mode) fragrances? If so can you provide the link for me? Thank you! Love the nails by the way and the look!
Hi dearest Maria! So I don’t have e those 2
videos but they are coming very soon because they are highly requested! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorld yeyyyy! Looking forward to it! Thank you!!
Have you tried a Middle Eastern dupe for Le Labo Another 13?
Hello! So there is a new fragrance from Paris Corner that is supposed to be pretty much the same! But let see…. I am planning to have it on the channel… I can’t remember the exact name but I know it is like Zephyr… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ArahiWorld yes Soothing Zephyr
I ❤ Dubai Portrait
Good morning and happy Sunday! Needless to say, I am right there with you! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg thank ubfor this video !!! I needed to see this !!! You are amazing...❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Good morning Melissa and happy Friday! Thank you so much and remember there is another at 3 PM today! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, love the make-up, love the vid as always✌️❤️
Hello and happy Friday! Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tribeca definitely does not smell like honor and glory. Tribeca is its own gem
Hello hello! Yes it is! When I first heard about the comparison of those 2 I quickly ordered the Lattafa one because I was in complete denial! That actually happens to me a lot! 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️ 😂 😂 😂 ♥️ ❤️ ❤️
Very helpful. Thanks a lot! ❤🙏
Good morning and happy Friday! You're welcome and more to come today at 3 PM EST! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I started to love teriaq more I wear it. La belle is different for me besides the signature touch of Quentin.
Hello! He certainly has a magic touch! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Could you compare Karus Secret musk with Noir d’Arabie
Good morning and happy Sunday! I did not compare Karus because I had already picked up another fragrance that is supposed to be inspired by Rose D’Arabie. As you know I own the OG and I try not to pick up fragrance after fragrance of the same! I have a limited budget so have to be cautious in my choices…. I do understand your request so let’s see…. If find a great deal out there! Have a great Sunday! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can we have part 2..Loving this video so much..
Good morning! It will be on the channel today at 3 PM EST! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im frm Malaysia..Will watch it tmrw morning..❤
❤❤❤
Hi Nanas! You are the first one today!!! Thank you! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I don’t know why my honor and glory doesn’t give me Gormont at all it doesn’t give me sweet pineapple or sweet caramel it’s almost green and semi masculine and I keep waiting for it to macerate and I keep hoping it will become what everyone describes it ours but I’ve had it for at least five months and it still does not reach the description that everyone talks about. I really wonder if I got a bad bottle? I’m so tempted to buy it again but I don’t know if I’m just getting something different with my nose
Hello and happy Friday! I do understand how frustrating this is for you as we just want to enjoy our fragrance once it arrives! I would encourage you to let it sit for maybe another month before spending on another bottle as we want to rule out the possibility of it just not working well with your skin chemistry! In addition, it's not like you have to rush to pick up another bottle as this is not a limited edition fragrance! Just my opinion! But... please let us know how your fragrance continues to evolve! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a heads up, it’s not macerating the perfume it’s Maturating. The maceration process is done while making the perfume and maturation is whenever you have purchased and start using it. It matures while your spraying it.
Good morning and thanks for jumping in to clarify. While you are correct about the terms and their meaning please note that as it relates to Middle Eastern fragrances I am eluding to both terms: Maceration and Maturation. It is my understanding that the reason some Middle Eastern fragrances can be offered at such an affordable price is because the standard production time, which includes Maceration, is cut short. Therefore, in most instances when you receive an affordable Middle Eastern fragrance you have to allow time for it to Macerate and then also go through the Maturation process. This is definitely in line with my experience as a consumer and collector of ME fragrances. This has not been the case with my high end ME perfumes though. Maturation actually happens with any fragrance in my collection weather it's Western Niche, ME, Designer, etc. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How does junoon noir compare performance wise to dama bianca? (Performance is sometimes why I would prefer a ME fragrance if it is better and they are 85%+ similar )
Hi Sally! Junoon Noir has a tad bit better performance in the area of projection which is the first 2 to 3 hours compared to Dama which tops at 2 every time. Otherwise they both give you a full day of wear without a problem! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you founs any dupe for angel muse mugler?
Hello and hope you had a great Sunday! No not yet but you know it is just a matter of time before we find something! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂❤️❤️
Oh pls pls tell me do you have something close to a soleil blanc duper? For me? Most of the Arabic dupes are very strong better suited for. Fall winter!? I have yet to find one coconut! ( NO pineapple or mango!)!
😂😂😂 Believe me!!!m The day I find a Soleil Blanc dupe I will probably be picking up 5 bottles because it is one of my favorite fragrances Period!.... but that price point is not an easy one! As far as the Coconut one.... have you tried Asad Zanzibar? You do have to enjoy a Unisex fragrance though! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorld girl right!!! I’ve looked and looked for over a year!! I just find it sooo odd that Alhambra I believe has like six of the TF dupes but not that one 🤦♀️
Does the Junoon Noir have the Ambrette like dama bianca, to your nose? I know fragrantica doesn’t list it..but I’m hoping it has that note? To me it helps give an airy quality?
Oh no.... that is one of the key differences... Junoon Noir is a bit more dense in the airiness department! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ArahiWorld ahhh thx sooo much for pointing that out! Love your thorough reviews!! 💕
