@Mamabearperfumechannel Yes, thank you so much for being honest because everyone on TikTok is saying something that Vanilla Toffee is not. So I was expecting a sweet gourmand something close to sticky dates. No, I got coffee, then a burnt Toffee for about 15min , then it dried down after about an hour. It friend down to a bitter musky earthly scent. The sweetness of Toffee and coffee was not in the dry down, plus it was faint. No one is getting the sweetness throughout the dry down. These people say things to please the makers and the people. Vanilla Toffee needs to sit and macerate for weeks. It will never be sweet. It will dry down to an earthy musky scent. I say ask of that to say, No, it's not you, and it's not your fault, you are just telling the truth about the perfume
Definitely agree with the Vanilla Toffee, thank god I only got a decant of it. But I dont smell black opium, I do find some note in it that puts me off and I find it a bit leaning more masculine. I also want to get my hands on the Zimaya Tiramisu line
Aww I feel like the only one who loves the banana bottle. It's like art. Reminds me of the style of that one discontinued JPG perfume with the water in the cap
I completely understand. Normally I’m really into wacky fun packaging but for whatever reason I’m just not a fan of that one🙈🙈😂😂 but I’m really glad you guys enjoyed the bottle design🤗🥰🥰🥰
Thanks, I also wanted to order the SHAGHAF VANILLE TOFFEE, but thanks! the scent combination as you describe it is exactly what I don't like, I go for the banana!
I was expecting vanilla toffee to be more of a buttery toffee sweet treat with a little coffee in the background🤷🏻♀️ but all I get is a bitter dark coffee mix with spicy cardamom🙈🤣 I think I wanna try the tiramisu perfume from Paris corner😋
Hi Jamie. You’re hilarious 😂 The Vanilla Toffee is a killer indeed. I just did 1 spray and hangs around forever. It reminds me of Mahni Cassonade from Navitus. I feel like in the older bottles the coffee settles a bit but you still get a burnt brown sugar scent that’s pretty strong. Just to let you know, the Zimaya perfumes are dupes for Amore Caffee and Bianco Latte. They’re delicious 😛. I smelled them at the Dubai show. There’s soooo many perfumes coming out it’s actually scary 😂. Hold onto your cash for now. Spoiler alert 😝 Loads of Blanche Bete and Bianco Latte dupes. And of course new Khair, a dupe for Wedding Silk Santal 👍 and keep an eye out for Zimaya Anhaar Dune, inspired by Devotion, you’ll probably enjoy it
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much for sharing. I didn’t know that they were supposed to be a dupe for anything, but I’m very excited to try them🤓 and I can’t wait for Khair to come out with some new🙌🏻😵 I’m so glad that vanilla toffee seems to be working out for you but yes, I completely agree that it is a beast 🤣🤣🤣 just not my cup of tea….i mean coffee🤓🤣🤣🤣
@@VBMPeI have tiramisu coco. It smells like bitter coffee with some cream and sweetness and a little spicy but very toned down. I got my bottle 1 week ago so it seems a little weak, soft and feminine but long lasting. It smells like a milder version Of tiramisu speculoos. I don’t like the harsh strong opening of speculoos.
I absolutely love the lattafa noble blush it's not too sweet not too rose or vanilla it's a perfect soft powder clean scent that smells even better after the dry down. It's a pretty clean scent in it's own category.
I agree with you on Vanilla Toffee, it also didn't work for me. I hoped I would like it even love it based on the notes and marketing. I received it on Saturday and let it sit before spraying it out then tried it again, but all I got was strong black coffee and spice possible from the cardamom. I didn't mind blind buying it because if I didn't love the scent profile, I was just going to gift it to friends or family but I'm not sure anyone would enjoy it. Hopefully, I can find someone to gift it to because I don't resell fragrances I don't enjoy. And for any that enjoy Vanilla Toffee, I wish I picked up on all the creamy, sweet descendant notes you do. Great review!
Thank you so much friend!🥰🥰🥰 I’m so glad I’m not the only one here😅🤷🏻♀️ I was starting to think it was just me. I was really hoping for a more sweet buttery toffee gourmand.
How do you "rinse out" the old fragrance if you're going to repurpose a travel size? Should we use soap and water? Rubbing alcohol? Or do you just dump in a new fragrance and create a new blend? Oh Jamie, I love your videos!😊
Thank you friend!🥰🥰🥰 I usually use just soap and water and then just let it dry completely before I put the new perfume in. If it is a perfume, that’s in the same scent profile then sometimes I won’t even bother washing out the empty bottle. I’ll just put the new perfume inside. It just kind of depends🤓
I’m currently trying to cancel my order for Vanilla Toffee. I’m hearing the same thing in my perfume groups that I’m in. I hope it’s not too late. I haven’t received a notification that it’s shipped. Going to get Eternal Coffee instead. Fingers crossed.
I really hope so🙏 But I am really glad to know that it’s not just me 🤷🏻♀️ I was starting to think I was going crazy😂😂😂 I’ve been hearing some people say that it’s so sweet and delicious but all I get is bitter black coffee, and spice.
Hey Jamie!😁😁😁 I've never seen those little decant bottles they're brilliant!! AAAAAA, puppy is escaping, that IS dangerous!!! Our neighbor didn't tie his dog up because the dog was usually good and never left the yard but then one day the dog decided to go for a walk and got killed on the road. Sooo sad, people really need to make sure their animals are secure like you! I can't stop noticing your Squishimal.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes Penelope is our little escape artist🤣🤣🤣 I never have to worry about the other two dogs because they are too big to fit through any of the little holes in the fence. But hopefully now the fence should be secure for all of my puppies😅
I totally agree that the After Effect is way too masculine. Tobacco and Tonka Bean Banana Republic is really nice if you want smokey plum. So so good and feminine leaning for sure. Especially layered with a vanilla lotion ❤️ I stopped liking oud and woody type of fragrances as well so i totally get you!
@@Mamabearperfumechannel it was a blind buy for me from Burlington, never heard of them before but it turns out it's a strike because then i found out this Tobacco and Tonka perfume in particular is actually their best one and it lasts forever. 😀 Now people are buying it like crazy from Burlington and reselling it for a lot more which is ridiculous of course. 😆
Interesting on the black opium comparison. I have 2 versions. The original and the le parfum (which I love love). But yes I wouldn’t pay $80. At that price I’ll stick to YSL one. I really want the confection one (not sure name right) but I don’t like the price 🫣. I also finally got the original Yara and I don’t like it. It’s like meh. I’m letting it sit and try again. Because Tous I enjoy more after letting it sit. If not I’ll be packing up for our little Christmas table for the teens’ prizes. I did that with the Britney midnight fantasy and it was snatched up. (FYI it was too young on me). Love your videos!
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 out of all the Yara’s the candy is my favorite🤗🤓 I’m willing to pay $50 and under for any Middle Eastern perfume but $80 was just ridiculous🙈 technically it was like $72 but plus tax and shipping It ended up being 80 something dollars. Khair confection is my favorite Khair out of the line🙌🏻🥰
tip! if you happened to have a sprayed a perfume you dont like on your skin, please dont use loofah. u might end up hurting your skin from srubbing hard. use micellar water or skin cleansing oil and then wash with dawn dishsoap or just soap and water. it works
You don't have to like every perfume, nobody does. That is why there are so many, so everyone can pick something they really love and vibe with. I love how your kitty sleeps on the terrarium, notice him/her for the 2nd time Update about arabian frags in Europe, we already have Khair Confection (even cheaper then previous Khairs - only 34 euros), but Yara Candy still is mostly unavailable (there is one site, where you can buy it, but it costs over 50 euros, I will wait for the price drop after the hype dies down).
Thank you friend!🥰🥰🥰 I completely agree🤓 and yes I’m sure the price of Yara candy will go down once some of the hype dies down😋 Finely my cat loves hanging out in my room now so I guess he’s going to be in the majority of my videos from now on🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
Glo used to be my signature scent. It’s insane how long it’s taking for your perfumes to come. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the new Lataffa perfume.
The dedication of getting banana bliss in a bottle you like better with a name tag 😍😍 I love obnoxious bottles like that 😅 The price of vanilla toffee is insane. I was thinking about getting it after looking at the notes and was like nope 😂 not marinating pee 😂😂 I love tiramisu too 😍 I used to eat it all of the time when I worked at OG back in the day. Before my celiac diagnosis lol. I've heard amazing things about the speculoos. I might grab it. Loved this video 💕
Noble Blush by Lattafa is what I wanted Yara to be. I decluttered my Yara (the pink bottle) because there was something in it that started to make me nauseous. 😬 However, Noble Blush satisfied that pink, sweet, comforting, pretty, soft, yet a little sexy feel that I was craving in a perfume. I'm very moody so my perfumes match my moods. Lol 😅 My husband loved it on me too. I really think you'll like it. It's nothing out of this world but definitely a "pretty in pink" kinda fragrance. Can't wait to hear your thoughts when you receive it! ☺️💕
I have the Tiramisu Speculoos and find it to be heavy on the cinnamon. Letting it sit for a while in hopes that will chill out a bit. Cinnamon is nice but I wasn't expecting that much of it and for it to smell like a scratch and sniff sticker. The third one you mentioned does look quite interesting.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just sold it at a loss but that’s my own fault🙈🙈🙈 blind buying is the only gambling I participate in🤓 sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose😂😂😂😂
I’m so nervous for Vanilla Toffee. It should arrive tomorrow and after watching a few reviews I don’t even want it anymore. Thank you for sharing your review. I want to try the cookie butter fragrance and the banana scent as well
If you want a good tobacco that’s not too masculine I highly recommend Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka Bean it has a plum note at the top that keeps it sweet! It’s gorgeous!
Thank you so much, friend! 🥰🥰🥰 There was another person who told me I should try banana Republic tobacco and Tonka Bean! I will definitely have to give that one a try🤓🤗
Even $40 for ME fragrance is double what it was a few years ago. I’m stubborn, and don’t want to pay more than $30, though I will on occasion. Right now I’m not buying perfume, and these prices are making me feel better about that. Of the Shaghaffs, I have Shaghaff women ( okay), Shaghaff oud ( like) and Shaghaff Tonka(like). Thanks for the review. I enjoyed it. If I ever consider this, I should probably get a sample first.
I did a no buy over the summer and it felt useful but then when it ended, I went a bit crazy 🤣 I made some bad decisions. 😂 I am never sure it's the way to go or not. I recently got a vintage bottle of Fantasy in a bundle I bought, for the first time ever, I do actually detect something that could be described as cupcake 😂I really like the opening with the kiwi 🥝
Love you channel Jamie. I always look forward to you videos ❤. I hurt my nose yesterday. Sprayed a new perfume on and smelled just like kerosene. I was terrified to light my candle 😂. Unfortunately for me it is one of the longest lasting perfumes I own. Titiana Terenzi Tyrenum and I blind bought on the Jomashop sale. I hope I have learned my lesson about blind buying 😂
I have been getting such mixed reviews with this perfume so I think it’s gonna be one of those that will act differently on different skin chemistries. Some people are saying that it’s really sweet gourmand and others like me are saying they pick up mostly black bitter coffee, and spice. So it could work out for you, but I would proceed with caution🤓
I have Noble Blush on the way too!!! I can’t wait to smell it. I love all of the notes. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Back to the video! 😊 I also got Her Confession and Peace and Love yesterday. I loooooooove Peace and Love. Gorgeous black currant with a hint of hazelnut and creamy sandalwood. I’ve been loving sandalwood that’s creamy and not the dry kind lately. So gorgeous! Haven’t tried Her Confession yet, but I have a decant of Blanche Bette, so I’m familiar with the profile. Also got Liquid Brun in and that’s supposed to be a warm and delicious vanilla. Lots of fun goodies to play with!😊
No problem, friend🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I meant to mention that sometimes once you get done pumping the perfume into the container, it will drip a little bit, so you just want to get a paper towel and dab the hole a few times and then it should be fine🤓👍🏻
Whaaat! Those travel size bottles 🤯 I have a decant kit that runs off a similar system but you use a syringe ton the nozzle to move from bottle to travel size but these cut out the middle man! Nice for fragrances you know you'll want to keep refilling.
I used to have the Swiss Arabian oil. I loved it but my niece came to visit and loved it so I gave it to her. The oil reminds me of Si Passione. What a nice birthday tradition
Hey, Jamie. Okay, so I subbed to your channel in my sleep or something because when you popped up on my homepage I was so excited to have another fraganista to follow. I was surprised to find that I was already a sub but am THRILLED that even in my sleep, I have good taste. Okay, I hear you on the oud thing. Like Oud Mood, I just can't. The only thing I smell is the out because it's a really barny oud. But I also have Raghba Wood Intense which is oud-forward, but I love it. It's less animalic and blends beautifully with the other wood notes. For me, I think it depends on the quality of the oud. It can be really beautiful if done well. Just my thoughts on that.😇❤ Again, so excited to have found you a second time.❤
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I’m glad I can even get subscribers while they’re sleeping 😂😂😂 yes I completely agree with you. I think it kind of depends on the quality of the oud itself🤓
Omg After Effect waaaaay too masculine for me too! The booze note was so strong! After a month & half it's so much better. I like it now but don't love it. I layered with vanilla 28 & it was so much better
It’s a very pretty scent. I pick up more of the pineapple, jasmine, sweet vanilla and musk to my nose. But maybe as it sits longer I’ll be able to pick up on the apple and caramel🤓
Hi Jamie! I am very curious with these Zimaya perfumes, not much the pink one, because looks like it is a dupe for Bianco Latte. Festive fantasy is amazing, i love it. I am very curious with this Noble Blush too. I wanted to try Vanilla Toffee, but with this price point, no thank you very much.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I could definitely see some people really enjoying vanilla toffee if the price ever goes down. It just does not work for me😂🙈 I just got Noble blush in and it smells so creamy and pretty🥰🥰🥰🥰 instant love at first sniff🤓 I’m still waiting on festival fantasy to come in the mail😂😂😂
@ Does Noble Blush remember Yara in any way? And does it smell too much of roses? Waiting for your review. 🙂 I bought Lattafa Artisan Ethnique last week, did you try it? It was such a disappointment, waiting to see if it gets better.
@ I just got it in an hour ago so I don’t wanna make any claims just yet but as of right now it just smells lovely. Pleasant creamy, sweet very feminine. I don’t feel like it’s an extreme amount of Rose. It reminds me of the perfume that Molly Ringwald would wear in pretty in pink🤓 I would like to do a comparison between this and Yara before I make my review video😋
As far as jlo glow.. You aren’t missing much it’s dove soap 🧼 in a bottle . Thank you for that visual 😂 Top Tier ( so sorry about your nose) . Just in the future for the unknown with Arabian perfumes one spray for testing purposes / outside/ garage etc. It seems like it would be divine with a milk heavy perfume on the top half of my body/ spray pants leg lightly with the stronger one. I’ve experienced Bellevita baccarat dupe it can knock you out … I’m very curious 👀/ cautious. Talking about Black Opium I just smelled the new vanilla one Le Parfum … perfection 👌🏼
Hey friend! 🙋🏻♀️🤓 I figured that the original JLo glow is probably not gonna be anything groundbreaking, but I was just so curious to try it out😋 from now on I’m definitely going to be testing anything from Swiss Arabian outside in the garage just in case😂😂😂
I get so many compliments on the after effect! unfortunately some people if it has a tobacco note, it seems to be extremely enhance if you smoke! makes you smell terrible.. but if you don't smoke like myself, I get a ton of compliments on that one!
I like Black Opium, but I do have an Arabian oil fragrance roll-on that’s called French Coffee… That coffee note is obnoxiously prominent… I’ve tried mixing it with vanilla. It’s still just overwhelms everything.
Swiss Arabian is a prestigious perfume house with 50 years experience . It’s not a dupe house like Lattafa or Paris corner. The statement that “80 dollars is too much for a middle eastern perfume is ridiculous” sounds wrong. The Middle East does the best perfumery and I’m not talking about dupe houses.
I value your opinion, friend🥰🥰🥰 but I’d have to disagree🤔 I thought Shaghaf oud tonka was supposed to be a dupe for Velvet Tonka BDK. I’ve never smelt that one, but that’s what I had heard🤷🏻♀️ and I don’t understand the price differences between their perfumes. Like for instance the 7 virtues. All their perfumes are right at the same price but Swiss Arabian has some perfumes for $19 and some perfumes for $80. The drastic inconsistency with their pricing logic is what confuses me🤔 but I’m really glad you enjoy their perfumes so much🥰🥰🥰
@@Mamabearperfumechannelallow me to clarify dear: 1) Shaghaf Oud Tonka isn’t a dupe of Velvet Tonka. It is from the same scent profile, and because of that misperception that Middle Eastern brands are clone houses, people have been speculating that Oud Tonka is cloning Velvet Tonka. Swiss Arabian isnt a clone house. Other Middle Eastern brands that are, like Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, Zimmaya and Paris Corner (and even they have recently been creating their own spin, not identical dupes). 2) Some Middle Eastern brands can go up to over $300 and are totally worth it - unmatched material. Amouage and Arabian Oud for instance. Look up Madawi by Arabian Oud - it’s Sophia Vergara’s signature scent, and that one retails for $250 approx. 3) The comparison against 7 Virtues isn’t valid - within Swiss Arabian’s portfolio there are multiple lines / collections (Shaghaf, Heritage, Harmony, Cities, Sawalef, etc), and within each line the prices are similar, but not across all collections as some of them are extraits and the others are EDP. The Sawalef and Cities extrait for example are the most expensive, while the cheapest are Harmony. The entire collection of The 7 Virtues is the size of a single line from Swiss Arabian. It’s like expecting Dior to price their Ambre Nuit the same price they charge their J’Adore! 4)Older items might be sold for cheaper from third party sellers who snag big quantities during the annual sale, so even with their markup the price is still lower than the official website. Shaghaf Toffee is new, so hasn’t been on sale yet. Hope that helps gives you a better idea why it’s priced as such.
@@estherraei4518 I think Shaghaf oud smells a whole lot like Oud Bouquet. They actually have a few that are quite similar to some others and more often than not, you can find Middle Eastern fragrances less than $80. So, for some of us that is on the higher end of the middle eastern fragrance spectrum. There are actually many in the fragrance community that would agree with that🙂.
I had one very very expensive perfume break by removing the spraying nozzle, and so I’ve never done it again 😂 So I just spray spray spray to fill up my travel sizes instead of
@ No, I was able to remove it but not put it back on my so my perfume was useless 🥲 Still had half left, it was truly traumatising, so I never touch the lil sprayer caps 😂
Hi Jamie! Could you please comment a bit about Narissa Rose Musc... I am about to buy it but couldn't find any information about its longevity. It matters to me if the perfume lasts or fade too soon. What are your thoughts? Do you need to respray along the day? Can you wear it at work? Does people Notice the scent? Thank you 🙏🏼
I definitely don’t have a problem with longevity at all with that perfume. It should last your whole workday. But I will also say I am a pretty big oversprayer. When it comes to this perfume, I usually put around eight sprays on each arm and then 10 to 15 sprays on my chest, neck and shoulders. Also, if I’m dehydrated, I can’t get any perfume to last on me. So I always have to drink lots of water🤓😋
u are so right about coffee scents are dangerous lol they have to made just right or else its a disaster. im a coffee lover and so far all my coffee perfume blind buys are disasters. I wanted to order tiramisu coco but im scared of wasting money
Your Banana Bliss bottle change looks so much better. Those awful bottles saved me from buying. I haven't tried After Effect, but I did find Side Effect too masculine for me. I got Maison Alhambra version, Infini Elixir, and it's sweeter/more feminine. I'm not at all offended by your reaction to Vanilla Toffee, and nor should anyone else be. I found it funny and ordered anyway. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I’m glad that you enjoyed the video friend🤓😋 I really think that I’m gonna be the minority. I think that the majority of people are really gonna love this perfume. It’s just for whatever reason not working out for me🙈🤣🤣🤣
They do drip right after I get done pumping in the perfume. So what I’ll do is take a paper towel and dab the bottom where the hole is and then it’s good🤓
I have stopped blind buying because of all the excess and decluttering. I have bought Middle Eastern perfume samples/decants from Hyggescent on the shop app and also trusted buyers on Mercari. It is soooo much better for my wallet. With all the reviewers, you just never know who smells the same things you smell. Everyone is different. This is what currently works for me.
Yes, most of the time I have been trying to get into the habit of buying travel sizes first. But with vanilla toffee, I was just so sure I was gonna love it🙈 that’s what I get for assuming😂😂😂 Hopefully, I learned my lesson😋
Yes, I definitely feel like the majority of people really love that perfume but for me I just felt like it was lacking something. I’m glad to know. I’m not the only one😂
Glow by J Lo is a really different fragrance and once you experience it and you get past what you think it was going to smell like…… it is quite amazing…. at least that’s the way it was for me.
Hi Jamie 🤗😘 I know the panic when the little doggies escape, oh my gosh it's awful!! 😭 My Yorkie mix got loose in a Petco parking lot one time and was a few feet away from running onto a main road before I caught her 😅 Another time (days after I had a hysterectomy, so I couldn't run) she got out the front door when I opened it to get a package. I live in Florida and drivers are crazy here, they speed through neighborhoods all the time so I was terrified. Luckily she just ran out to the driveway and looked around and stopped 😅😅 Yesterday we went to a flea market near us that we had never been to and much to my surprise, there were several Arabian perfume shops and pop ups with testers. Oh my gosh, I was like a kid in a candy store 🤣🤣 I smelled Yara Candy and it smelled soooo good! I had already gotten a different perfume though so I didn't get it, but next time I'll try to get it.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes! Sometimes our puppies do scary things and it gives me so much anxiety🙈🙈🙈 That is really cool that they had a bunch of Middle Eastern perfumes out to try! I wish they had something like that here🤓🤗
Hiii Jamie! ❤ I love those little pump travel atomizers, so handy! Oh no Penelope! Our last dog could only go outside on leash for the entire time we had her because she'd be the same way- run off and forget we were even her family.. freedom! 😄😆🤣 hahaha (at least I got on a lot of walks every day while we had her) 😂 Just smashed the top off with a hammer!! 😅😂 love it! Did you use a funnel to pour it in? I think it would be hard to get it in there! Guess what, the lady just received her bottle of the Vanilla Toffee, and she has my sample ready to ship 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I really think it'll be either a love or a hate for me and I have no idea which! 🫣😬😁
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes! Penelope is our escape artist😂😂😂 my other two dogs are too big and they can’t fit through any of the little cracks in the fence so I never have to worry about them. I’m so excited for you to get your vanilla toffee in 🤗🤓 you may really love it🤷🏻♀️ I really think I’m gonna be the minority here when it comes to this perfume😂😂😂
Still here listening to, and I was going to tell you that someone said to rub unscented deodorant on your skin if you can't get the smell of a nuclear perfume to come off, I've tried it and it works! I don't care for the mustard yellow bottle either 😅 When my sample gets here I am going to spray it OUTSIDE and only ON PAPER to start with, I do not want burning nostrils and/or a headache!! 🥴🤣🤣
Wow. Thanks so much for this honest review. I thought it was inspired by Guerlain Tonka Imperial which I have and Iove but it does not sound like it. I see they are already reducing the price here😢.
It could be just my nose, but I am mainly picking up a dark, bitter, earthy coffee mixed with very spicy cardamom🤷🏻♀️ I was hoping for more of a buttered toffee sweet treat with maybe a little coffee in the background😋
I had A crazy quite expensive October, I purchased Khair Confection, frenetic Delixieuse, dior Addict, Ophidian Black cherry (love It) Devotion Intense, la vie est Belle l'elixer, angel muse and angel fantasm ,junoon Rose and Voux patiserie I really had high hopes for the newest shaghaf...but now I will wait till the prices drop a bit. Also I think I need to do a serious declutter before buying new fragrances Maybe 1 or 2 for christmas, but then I am Done and wait for 2025
Hi Jamie! Next time lay a dark t shirt on table so you don’t waste any juice. What keeps me not purchasing is the tacky bottle. I want to enjoy the juice perfume and the bottle to get a full excitement LOL❤
I'm sure many many people love gourmand perfumes since they keep making them but I'm not really a fan. Just a few I have liked. I which there would be more sofisticated unique combinations bc I really don't like to smell like food or dessert 😂
I completely understand that🤓 there are some days where I want to smell anything but food😂😂😂 I feel like I enjoy a nice variety of different scent profiles. It just depends on what mood I’m in😋
@ yup, they are in perfume time out! They are lovely fragrances but I can smell the vanilla. I am a fruity, light, airy, scent lover. They are too rich for me.
I got Fenty by Fenty and I had a bad experience. Many people love it. For me it was a scrubber. A shower. All the things. I smelled like an incense shop in a bad way. It happens. Take care ❌️ ⭕️
Instead of selling the whole bottle of Vanilla Toffee, you should consider selling 5ml decants. I know alot of people would love to sample before purchasing. I bet you would do better because with all the fees on Mercari for buyers, you would be selling at a major loss for the full bottle.
Beware of the perfume decanter things....mine leaked terribly and I swear one of them completely evaporated somehow. Maybe don't put your most precious perfumes in them until you're sure you have a good set.
I think you have a werry sofistikated nose and that I why you had that reaction. I mean that in the bedst way, I have a friend and her nose are amazing when we are trying perfume together 😊. Big hugs from Denmark. 🥰💝🌹
You lost 5 mils of the Banana Bliss!!! TRAGIC! Black Opium makes you nauseous?!? Wow!! I don't remember you saying that about any fragrance before!😮😮😮 "The angry coffee came back to murder my nose".Oh my gosh "marinating pee", You're amazing!!🤣😂🤣 YOU GO TO OLIVE GARDEN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY TO EAT BIG PLATES OF PASTA ALONE!?! We're definitely some sort of kindred spirits!!!
I can’t speak for everyone, but I feel like most people were most excited about these Middle Eastern perfumes when they were first coming out because they were so inexpensive unlike most designer and niche perfumes. So they were more obtainable for people that couldn’t afford expensive perfumes but still wanted to smell nice😋🤗
@@MamabearperfumechannelI disagree but it’s not my intention to be argumentative and we know how written word can be misunderstood. My intention is not to come across as rude. I am sorry you are disappointed in your blind buy, to be honest I am not sure how I am expecting this one to smell😂. I guess we’ll see in a few weeks. Thank you for the video and love your style of delivery 😂
@@jusblack_thabi no no not rude at all🥰🥰🥰You brought up a really good question and I had to think about it for a minute. But I think that’s the answer as far as I know🤷🏻♀️ but if someone else would like to comment and weigh in I would love to know what their answer might be🤓
@@jusblack_thabi I’ve been thinking about it a little bit more and I think one of the other reasons is that a lot of these perfumes are supposed to be duping a more expensive perfume. But if that dupe starts to become just as expensive as what it’s supposed to be duping then you might as well buy the real thing. But that’s just my opinion. Never feel bad for disagreeing with me. I respect all peoples opinions and they are very welcome here🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Jaimie. Loved that preview.😂 Swiss Arabian is one house that I will pay a bit more for. 80 is a bit steep, but I am guessing that the prices will go down in a bit. 80 is the "hype" price. Here in Europe, I paid 55. Still high, but worth it, IMO. 😊
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes, I completely agree🤓 I was looking at some of their other perfumes on the website and I was thinking that when vanilla toffee came out, it would be around the $50-$60 range so the $80 was a bit of a shock🤣🤣 I’m glad you got it for a better price 🥰🥰🥰
Seem like the only ppl that Love Vaniilla Toffee are the ones who went to party in Dubai. Every review I’ve watched is the same.. something in it that is strong & wrong 😂Despite all that I’m still gonna blind buy now at $70. I too am the problem 🤦🏾♀️
It’s not just you with the Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee. I actually love strong coffee scents, but when I spray this, I don’t get coffee at all. I don’t get vanilla. I just get spoiled, sickly sweet dates I think, and it’s a real turnoff. In fact, I hate it, and am very disappointed that I spent so much money on a perfume that, frankly, smells gross to me. I was so excited for it, that I got it as soon as it released. This has to be the biggest disappointment in a perfume I have ever felt. It did teach me a valuable lesson not to blind buy perfumes that just sound good without watching and reading many reviews beforehand.
I am really glad to know that it’s not just me, but I am sorry at the same time that it’s not working out for you. I completely agree with you. It was just a huge disappointment and I was really expecting this to be so good. But I guess better luck next time🤷🏻♀️😅
I was able to sell mine for $45 so at least I got some of my money back🤷🏻♀️ I heard another subscriber say that if you have a perfume that you want to sell just split it up into 5ml decants and then sell them all individually and you would make more of your money back🤷🏻♀️
Your cat lounging in the background is everything❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I appreciate you being honest about any perfume.
Thank you friend!🥰🥰🥰🥰
@Mamabearperfumechannel Yes, thank you so much for being honest because everyone on TikTok is saying something that Vanilla Toffee is not. So I was expecting a sweet gourmand something close to sticky dates. No, I got coffee, then a burnt Toffee for about 15min , then it dried down after about an hour. It friend down to a bitter musky earthly scent. The sweetness of Toffee and coffee was not in the dry down, plus it was faint. No one is getting the sweetness throughout the dry down. These people say things to please the makers and the people. Vanilla Toffee needs to sit and macerate for weeks. It will never be sweet. It will dry down to an earthy musky scent. I say ask of that to say, No, it's not you, and it's not your fault, you are just telling the truth about the perfume
@@qtee2518 thank you so much for that🥰🥰🥰
@Mamabearperfumechannel You're welcome Sis 💕
Tiramisu Speculoos is SOOO delicious! I think I get more sweet coffee cake more than tiramisu but it’s delicious nonetheless
I would love to give tiramisu a try. I think I would really really enjoy it🤓🤗
Omg, coffee cake? I wanna smell it so bad now
It’s so so so good. My fave of the 2. Sweet almond cake soaked in rum with thick milky cream and coffee dusted in cocoa. It’s to die for.
Definitely agree with the Vanilla Toffee, thank god I only got a decant of it. But I dont smell black opium, I do find some note in it that puts me off and I find it a bit leaning more masculine. I also want to get my hands on the Zimaya Tiramisu line
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the vanilla toffee🤣🤓 I still haven’t tried tiramisu yet, but I would like to😋
Aww I feel like the only one who loves the banana bottle. It's like art. Reminds me of the style of that one discontinued JPG perfume with the water in the cap
I love it so much! Tbh I love wacky bottles. I bought both because they spoke to me. The tiramisu is sooooooo lovely
I'm honestly all about the packaging as well
I completely understand. Normally I’m really into wacky fun packaging but for whatever reason I’m just not a fan of that one🙈🙈😂😂 but I’m really glad you guys enjoyed the bottle design🤗🥰🥰🥰
I like the bottle too. I thought it was so cute 😊
Thanks, I also wanted to order the SHAGHAF VANILLE TOFFEE, but thanks! the scent combination as you describe it is exactly what I don't like, I go for the banana!
I was expecting vanilla toffee to be more of a buttery toffee sweet treat with a little coffee in the background🤷🏻♀️ but all I get is a bitter dark coffee mix with spicy cardamom🙈🤣 I think I wanna try the tiramisu perfume from Paris corner😋
I received my bottle today, and I love it♥️ I actually like the cardamom in it
But I agree, it does smell more masculine to me as well
@@AvA-lu8hd I love that it’s working out for you🥰🥰🥰
The kitty in the background❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Blind buying is a thrill until they are a fail 😂❤
Yes, it’s the only gambling I participate in. The steaks are high and sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.😂😂😂😂
@@Mamabearperfumechannel yep 😅💕
Hi Jamie. You’re hilarious 😂 The Vanilla Toffee is a killer indeed. I just did 1 spray and hangs around forever. It reminds me of Mahni Cassonade from Navitus. I feel like in the older bottles the coffee settles a bit but you still get a burnt brown sugar scent that’s pretty strong.
Just to let you know, the Zimaya perfumes are dupes for Amore Caffee and Bianco Latte. They’re delicious 😛. I smelled them at the Dubai show. There’s soooo many perfumes coming out it’s actually scary 😂. Hold onto your cash for now. Spoiler alert 😝 Loads of Blanche Bete and Bianco Latte dupes. And of course new Khair, a dupe for Wedding Silk Santal 👍 and keep an eye out for Zimaya Anhaar Dune, inspired by Devotion, you’ll probably enjoy it
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much for sharing. I didn’t know that they were supposed to be a dupe for anything, but I’m very excited to try them🤓 and I can’t wait for Khair to come out with some new🙌🏻😵
I’m so glad that vanilla toffee seems to be working out for you but yes, I completely agree that it is a beast 🤣🤣🤣 just not my cup of tea….i mean coffee🤓🤣🤣🤣
@@thefragranceconnection how is the smell of Zimaya Tiramisu Coco?
@@VBMPeI have tiramisu coco. It smells like bitter coffee with some cream and sweetness and a little spicy but very toned down. I got my bottle 1 week ago so it seems a little weak, soft and feminine but long lasting. It smells like a milder version Of tiramisu speculoos. I don’t like the harsh strong opening of speculoos.
@@acapellaz1 thank you so much ☺️
Have a nice day 💝
Festival fantasy is amazing!!!
@@jenniferstanley6833 yes, I agree🤗🤓
I absolutely love the lattafa noble blush it's not too sweet not too rose or vanilla it's a perfect soft powder clean scent that smells even better after the dry down. It's a pretty clean scent in it's own category.
Yes!!!! Obsessed!! It’s sooo pretty 🙌🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰
I agree with you on Vanilla Toffee, it also didn't work for me. I hoped I would like it even love it based on the notes and marketing. I received it on Saturday and let it sit before spraying it out then tried it again, but all I got was strong black coffee and spice possible from the cardamom. I didn't mind blind buying it because if I didn't love the scent profile, I was just going to gift it to friends or family but I'm not sure anyone would enjoy it. Hopefully, I can find someone to gift it to because I don't resell fragrances I don't enjoy. And for any that enjoy Vanilla Toffee, I wish I picked up on all the creamy, sweet descendant notes you do. Great review!
Thank you so much friend!🥰🥰🥰 I’m so glad I’m not the only one here😅🤷🏻♀️ I was starting to think it was just me. I was really hoping for a more sweet buttery toffee gourmand.
How do you "rinse out" the old fragrance if you're going to repurpose a travel size? Should we use soap and water? Rubbing alcohol? Or do you just dump in a new fragrance and create a new blend? Oh Jamie, I love your videos!😊
Thank you friend!🥰🥰🥰 I usually use just soap and water and then just let it dry completely before I put the new perfume in. If it is a perfume, that’s in the same scent profile then sometimes I won’t even bother washing out the empty bottle. I’ll just put the new perfume inside. It just kind of depends🤓
Hi Jamie have you tried the coffee collection from paris corner think there are 5 in the collection
@ the only coffee perfume I tried from Paris corner is eternal coffee, and I really enjoy that one🤓
I’m currently trying to cancel my order for Vanilla Toffee. I’m hearing the same thing in my perfume groups that I’m in. I hope it’s not too late. I haven’t received a notification that it’s shipped. Going to get Eternal Coffee instead. Fingers crossed.
I really hope so🙏
But I am really glad to know that it’s not just me 🤷🏻♀️ I was starting to think I was going crazy😂😂😂 I’ve been hearing some people say that it’s so sweet and delicious but all I get is bitter black coffee, and spice.
Did you get your order cancelled? I am trying to do the same with Aroma Concepts.....
Hey Jamie!😁😁😁 I've never seen those little decant bottles they're brilliant!! AAAAAA, puppy is escaping, that IS dangerous!!! Our neighbor didn't tie his dog up because the dog was usually good and never left the yard but then one day the dog decided to go for a walk and got killed on the road. Sooo sad, people really need to make sure their animals are secure like you! I can't stop noticing your Squishimal.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes Penelope is our little escape artist🤣🤣🤣 I never have to worry about the other two dogs because they are too big to fit through any of the little holes in the fence. But hopefully now the fence should be secure for all of my puppies😅
I totally agree that the After Effect is way too masculine. Tobacco and Tonka Bean Banana Republic is really nice if you want smokey plum. So so good and feminine leaning for sure. Especially layered with a vanilla
lotion ❤️ I stopped liking oud and woody type of fragrances as well so i totally get you!
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much for sharing that. I’ll have to look into banana Republic🤓
@@Mamabearperfumechannel it was a blind buy for me from Burlington, never heard of them before but it turns out it's a strike because then i found out this Tobacco and Tonka perfume in particular is actually their best one and it lasts forever. 😀 Now people are buying it like crazy from Burlington and reselling it for a lot more which is ridiculous of course. 😆
Apparently Tiramisu Coco Zimaya is a dupe for mancera amore cafe! I haven’t tried the zimaya one but amore cafe is so so good!!
I didn’t know they were duping anything. thank you for letting me know😋 I’m so excited to try them🤗🤓
Ohhh Penelope 🙈 Our pup would also search for his escape route after we fixed it. LOL. Little rascals!
Yes!🤣🤣🤣 they don’t understand we are just trying to keep them safe!🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
I can’t wait to see your celebrity fragrance video. 😊
I definitely have some plans for that🤓🤗
Interesting on the black opium comparison. I have 2 versions. The original and the le parfum (which I love love). But yes I wouldn’t pay $80. At that price I’ll stick to YSL one. I really want the confection one (not sure name right) but I don’t like the price 🫣. I also finally got the original Yara and I don’t like it. It’s like meh. I’m letting it sit and try again. Because Tous I enjoy more after letting it sit. If not I’ll be packing up for our little Christmas table for the teens’ prizes. I did that with the Britney midnight fantasy and it was snatched up. (FYI it was too young on me). Love your videos!
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 out of all the Yara’s the candy is my favorite🤗🤓 I’m willing to pay $50 and under for any Middle Eastern perfume but $80 was just ridiculous🙈 technically it was like $72 but plus tax and shipping It ended up being 80 something dollars. Khair confection is my favorite Khair out of the line🙌🏻🥰
I bought 3 britney spears fragrances. Including festive fantasy. You are going to enjoy it. All three of them smells so good.
I love the Britney Spears perfumes🙌🏻🤓 I can’t wait to get festival in🙌🏻😋
tip! if you happened to have a sprayed a perfume you dont like on your skin, please dont use loofah. u might end up hurting your skin from srubbing hard. use micellar water or skin cleansing oil and then wash with dawn dishsoap or just soap and water. it works
Thank you so much for that tip🤓🥰
After Effect Plus any Coconut Vanilla scent will be amazing. A way to bring your summer coconut into the fall/winter
I love being able to bring my coconut perfumes into fall and winter🤗🥰🥥
You don't have to like every perfume, nobody does. That is why there are so many, so everyone can pick something they really love and vibe with. I love how your kitty sleeps on the terrarium, notice him/her for the 2nd time
Update about arabian frags in Europe, we already have Khair Confection (even cheaper then previous Khairs - only 34 euros), but Yara Candy still is mostly unavailable (there is one site, where you can buy it, but it costs over 50 euros, I will wait for the price drop after the hype dies down).
Thank you friend!🥰🥰🥰 I completely agree🤓 and yes I’m sure the price of Yara candy will go down once some of the hype dies down😋
Finely my cat loves hanging out in my room now so I guess he’s going to be in the majority of my videos from now on🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
Glow by J.Lo is amazing. I'm not a fresh girly, but that perfume has my heart!
I’m so excited to get it in🤗🤓
Glo used to be my signature scent. It’s insane how long it’s taking for your perfumes to come. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the new Lataffa perfume.
I’m so excited to get my perfumes in🤗🤓 I’m waiting by the window every day👀😂😂
The dedication of getting banana bliss in a bottle you like better with a name tag 😍😍 I love obnoxious bottles like that 😅 The price of vanilla toffee is insane. I was thinking about getting it after looking at the notes and was like nope 😂 not marinating pee 😂😂 I love tiramisu too 😍 I used to eat it all of the time when I worked at OG back in the day. Before my celiac diagnosis lol. I've heard amazing things about the speculoos. I might grab it. Loved this video 💕
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes! I definitely want to try out the Paris corner tiramisu perfume🤓🤗 I hope you are your baby are doing well!🥰🥰🥰
I love vanilla toffee it is strong all I need is two sprays. I smelled like toffee like a mature caramel all day. Compliments everywhere. ❤
I’m so glad it’s working out for you🥰🥰🥰 I wish I picked up on the toffee. But all I get is coffee and cardamom😋
Noble Blush by Lattafa is what I wanted Yara to be. I decluttered my Yara (the pink bottle) because there was something in it that started to make me nauseous. 😬 However, Noble Blush satisfied that pink, sweet, comforting, pretty, soft, yet a little sexy feel that I was craving in a perfume. I'm very moody so my perfumes match my moods. Lol 😅 My husband loved it on me too. I really think you'll like it. It's nothing out of this world but definitely a "pretty in pink" kinda fragrance. Can't wait to hear your thoughts when you receive it! ☺️💕
That’s exactly what I was looking for. Just a very feminine pretty in pink type of scent🤓 I can’t wait for it to come in🙌🏻 thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰
@@Mamabearperfumechannel 💕💕💕
I have the Tiramisu Speculoos and find it to be heavy on the cinnamon. Letting it sit for a while in hopes that will chill out a bit. Cinnamon is nice but I wasn't expecting that much of it and for it to smell like a scratch and sniff sticker. The third one you mentioned does look quite interesting.
Thank you so much for sharing that🤓 I’ll have to take that into consideration before purchasing🤔
Hey Jamie! 🥰🥰🥰 Been there, done that, with the house expenses. Whew! Gotta keep the animals safe. I would be terrified and having panic attacks, too!
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 now that we have the fence up and fixed it seems to be safe and working good😋
“I don’t even want this in the house” 🤣🤣🤣 I totally get it, I also agree with you on Tonka oud 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just sold it at a loss but that’s my own fault🙈🙈🙈 blind buying is the only gambling I participate in🤓 sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose😂😂😂😂
I’m so nervous for Vanilla Toffee. It should arrive tomorrow and after watching a few reviews I don’t even want it anymore. Thank you for sharing your review. I want to try the cookie butter fragrance and the banana scent as well
I really hope it works out for you🤞🏼🥰🥰🥰
I love Olive Garden and pasta too 😋😋 Olive Garden is always my first choice for my birthday dinner 😂
Yes!🙌🏻 I look forward to it every year🤓🍝
If you want a good tobacco that’s not too masculine I highly recommend Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka Bean it has a plum note at the top that keeps it sweet! It’s gorgeous!
Thank you so much, friend! 🥰🥰🥰 There was another person who told me I should try banana Republic tobacco and Tonka Bean! I will definitely have to give that one a try🤓🤗
Or…. The Paris corner one called charuto , tobacco vanille !! It’s gorgeous
Even $40 for ME fragrance is double what it was a few years ago. I’m stubborn, and don’t want to pay more than $30, though I will on occasion. Right now I’m not buying perfume, and these prices are making me feel better about that. Of the Shaghaffs, I have Shaghaff women ( okay), Shaghaff oud ( like) and Shaghaff Tonka(like).
Thanks for the review. I enjoyed it. If I ever consider this, I should probably get a sample first.
Yes! I completely agree that the Middle Eastern perfumes are really getting up there with their prices😅
at least we can admit that we are the problem. that’s the first step 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I did a no buy over the summer and it felt useful but then when it ended, I went a bit crazy 🤣 I made some bad decisions. 😂 I am never sure it's the way to go or not.
I recently got a vintage bottle of Fantasy in a bundle I bought, for the first time ever, I do actually detect something that could be described as cupcake 😂I really like the opening with the kiwi 🥝
My middle name is bad decisions🤣🤣🤣🤣
😵I love the fantasy perfumes🙌🏻🤓
If you can get Fantasy Stage Edition….that is the DNA of the original Fantasy when it first came out. Definite cupcake.
Love you channel Jamie. I always look forward to you videos ❤. I hurt my nose yesterday. Sprayed a new perfume on and smelled just like kerosene. I was terrified to light my candle 😂. Unfortunately for me it is one of the longest lasting perfumes I own. Titiana Terenzi Tyrenum and I blind bought on the Jomashop sale. I hope I have learned my lesson about blind buying 😂
I’m so glad you enjoyed the channel, friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰 Yes, the hazards of Blind buying are real😳👃🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh nooooooo😮 I hate black opium too. I was so excited for this new Shagaf. Thanks for the heads up.
I have been getting such mixed reviews with this perfume so I think it’s gonna be one of those that will act differently on different skin chemistries. Some people are saying that it’s really sweet gourmand and others like me are saying they pick up mostly black bitter coffee, and spice. So it could work out for you, but I would proceed with caution🤓
I have Noble Blush on the way too!!! I can’t wait to smell it. I love all of the notes. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Back to the video! 😊
I also got Her Confession and Peace and Love yesterday. I loooooooove Peace and Love. Gorgeous black currant with a hint of hazelnut and creamy sandalwood. I’ve been loving sandalwood that’s creamy and not the dry kind lately. So gorgeous!
Haven’t tried Her Confession yet, but I have a decant of Blanche Bette, so I’m familiar with the profile.
Also got Liquid Brun in and that’s supposed to be a warm and delicious vanilla. Lots of fun goodies to play with!😊
Hey friend! 🥰🥰🥰 Those all sound amazing🤗🤓 I can’t wait to try Noble blush😋
I love those travel decant bottles. I use them often. I have a little decant set that is different with a tiny funnel for rollerballs etc.
Yes! I think they’re great🤗 I love to keep some of them in my purse🤓
Thank you for you answering my question! 😊 I am going to order the travel size containers. Looks so easy.
No problem, friend🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I meant to mention that sometimes once you get done pumping the perfume into the container, it will drip a little bit, so you just want to get a paper towel and dab the hole a few times and then it should be fine🤓👍🏻
Whaaat! Those travel size bottles 🤯 I have a decant kit that runs off a similar system but you use a syringe ton the nozzle to move from bottle to travel size but these cut out the middle man! Nice for fragrances you know you'll want to keep refilling.
Yes, it’s so much easier🤗🤓
I used to have the Swiss Arabian oil. I loved it but my niece came to visit and loved it so I gave it to her. The oil reminds me of Si Passione. What a nice birthday tradition
My daughters love to steal my perfumes🤣🤣🤣
Yes you’re right! It does smell similar to si Passione 🤓
Can not wait to 2 new Zimaya release. I really like coffee scent☺️
Yes, I’m very excited to try them out🤗😋
Hey, Jamie. Okay, so I subbed to your channel in my sleep or something because when you popped up on my homepage I was so excited to have another fraganista to follow. I was surprised to find that I was already a sub but am THRILLED that even in my sleep, I have good taste.
Okay, I hear you on the oud thing. Like Oud Mood, I just can't. The only thing I smell is the out because it's a really barny oud. But I also have Raghba Wood Intense which is oud-forward, but I love it. It's less animalic and blends beautifully with the other wood notes. For me, I think it depends on the quality of the oud. It can be really beautiful if done well.
Just my thoughts on that.😇❤ Again, so excited to have found you a second time.❤
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I’m glad I can even get subscribers while they’re sleeping 😂😂😂 yes I completely agree with you. I think it kind of depends on the quality of the oud itself🤓
Omg After Effect waaaaay too masculine for me too! The booze note was so strong! After a month & half it's so much better. I like it now but don't love it. I layered with vanilla 28 & it was so much better
I’m glad I’m not the only one🤣🤓 layering it with vanilla 28 sounds amazing🤗😋
Amaali Swiss Arabian is one I wanted for a long time. That one I might get now.
It’s a very pretty scent. I pick up more of the pineapple, jasmine, sweet vanilla and musk to my nose. But maybe as it sits longer I’ll be able to pick up on the apple and caramel🤓
Hi Jamie! I am very curious with these Zimaya perfumes, not much the pink one, because looks like it is a dupe for Bianco Latte. Festive fantasy is amazing, i love it.
I am very curious with this Noble Blush too.
I wanted to try Vanilla Toffee, but with this price point, no thank you very much.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I could definitely see some people really enjoying vanilla toffee if the price ever goes down. It just does not work for me😂🙈 I just got Noble blush in and it smells so creamy and pretty🥰🥰🥰🥰 instant love at first sniff🤓 I’m still waiting on festival fantasy to come in the mail😂😂😂
@ Does Noble Blush remember Yara in any way? And does it smell too much of roses? Waiting for your review. 🙂
I bought Lattafa Artisan Ethnique last week, did you try it? It was such a disappointment, waiting to see if it gets better.
@ I just got it in an hour ago so I don’t wanna make any claims just yet but as of right now it just smells lovely. Pleasant creamy, sweet very feminine. I don’t feel like it’s an extreme amount of Rose. It reminds me of the perfume that Molly Ringwald would wear in pretty in pink🤓 I would like to do a comparison between this and Yara before I make my review video😋
@ cool! Thanks for sharing. 😘
As far as jlo glow.. You aren’t missing much it’s dove soap 🧼 in a bottle . Thank you for that visual 😂 Top Tier ( so sorry about your nose) . Just in the future for the unknown with Arabian perfumes one spray for testing purposes / outside/ garage etc. It seems like it would be divine with a milk heavy perfume on the top half of my body/ spray pants leg lightly with the stronger one. I’ve experienced Bellevita baccarat dupe it can knock you out … I’m very curious 👀/ cautious. Talking about Black Opium I just smelled the new vanilla one Le Parfum … perfection 👌🏼
Hey friend! 🙋🏻♀️🤓 I figured that the original JLo glow is probably not gonna be anything groundbreaking, but I was just so curious to try it out😋 from now on I’m definitely going to be testing anything from Swiss Arabian outside in the garage just in case😂😂😂
I get so many compliments on the after effect! unfortunately some people if it has a tobacco note, it seems to be extremely enhance if you smoke! makes you smell terrible.. but if you don't smoke like myself, I get a ton of compliments on that one!
I’m so glad that after effect is working for you🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m curious to see what you think about Festive Fantasy. I’ve not tried that one yet.
I’m so excited for it to come in🤗🤓
I like Black Opium, but I do have an Arabian oil fragrance roll-on that’s called French Coffee… That coffee note is obnoxiously prominent… I’ve tried mixing it with vanilla. It’s still just overwhelms everything.
Yes! Iv heard that French coffee is veryyy potent🤣😋
Glow by JLo is my comfort scent for when I feel crappy. It just smells clean and fresh and soapy. I adore it. I will always have it.
I can’t wait to try it!🤗🤓
Lol the way you describe things is hilarious (the mustard yellow pee thing and the horror movies)
@@simplygenesisOvO 😂😂😂😂😂
Swiss Arabian is a prestigious perfume house with 50 years experience . It’s not a dupe house like Lattafa or Paris corner. The statement that “80 dollars is too much for a middle eastern perfume is ridiculous” sounds wrong. The Middle East does the best perfumery and I’m not talking about dupe houses.
I value your opinion, friend🥰🥰🥰 but I’d have to disagree🤔 I thought Shaghaf oud tonka was supposed to be a dupe for Velvet Tonka BDK. I’ve never smelt that one, but that’s what I had heard🤷🏻♀️ and I don’t understand the price differences between their perfumes. Like for instance the 7 virtues. All their perfumes are right at the same price but Swiss Arabian has some perfumes for $19 and some perfumes for $80. The drastic inconsistency with their pricing logic is what confuses me🤔 but I’m really glad you enjoy their perfumes so much🥰🥰🥰
@@Mamabearperfumechannelallow me to clarify dear:
1) Shaghaf Oud Tonka isn’t a dupe of Velvet Tonka. It is from the same scent profile, and because of that misperception that Middle Eastern brands are clone houses, people have been speculating that Oud Tonka is cloning Velvet Tonka. Swiss Arabian isnt a clone house. Other Middle Eastern brands that are, like Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, Zimmaya and Paris Corner (and even they have recently been creating their own spin, not identical dupes).
2) Some Middle Eastern brands can go up to over $300 and are totally worth it - unmatched material. Amouage and Arabian Oud for instance. Look up Madawi by Arabian Oud - it’s Sophia Vergara’s signature scent, and that one retails for $250 approx.
3) The comparison against 7 Virtues isn’t valid - within Swiss Arabian’s portfolio there are multiple lines / collections (Shaghaf, Heritage, Harmony, Cities, Sawalef, etc), and within each line the prices are similar, but not across all collections as some of them are extraits and the others are EDP. The Sawalef and Cities extrait for example are the most expensive, while the cheapest are Harmony.
The entire collection of The 7 Virtues is the size of a single line from Swiss Arabian. It’s like expecting Dior to price their Ambre Nuit the same price they charge their J’Adore!
4)Older items might be sold for cheaper from third party sellers who snag big quantities during the annual sale, so even with their markup the price is still lower than the official website. Shaghaf Toffee is new, so hasn’t been on sale yet.
Hope that helps gives you a better idea why it’s priced as such.
@@estherraei4518 I think Shaghaf oud smells a whole lot like Oud Bouquet. They actually have a few that are quite similar to some others and more often than not, you can find Middle Eastern fragrances less than $80. So, for some of us that is on the higher end of the middle eastern fragrance spectrum. There are actually many in the fragrance community that would agree with that🙂.
Layali rouge is sweet, and i really like it. I found it at Marshall's. ❤
I’m glad I got that perfume oil with my purchase so that it wasn’t a total loss😂😂😂 I can’t wait to try some of the others🤗😋
LOL LOL. You crack me up! That darn angry coffee.
😂😂😂😂
I had one very very expensive perfume break by removing the spraying nozzle, and so I’ve never done it again 😂 So I just spray spray spray to fill up my travel sizes instead of
Oh my goodness, I’ve never heard of the top of the nozzle not being able to be removed😵 It must be some specific type of atomizer that they use🤔
@ No, I was able to remove it but not put it back on my so my perfume was useless 🥲 Still had half left, it was truly traumatising, so I never touch the lil sprayer caps 😂
Hey, I got the the same perfume oil with my vanilla toffee though that was so nice.
Yes, I definitely want to pick up some of those other perfume oils now. I really enjoy them.🤗🤓
Hi Jamie! Could you please comment a bit about Narissa Rose Musc... I am about to buy it but couldn't find any information about its longevity. It matters to me if the perfume lasts or fade too soon. What are your thoughts? Do you need to respray along the day? Can you wear it at work? Does people
Notice the scent? Thank you 🙏🏼
I definitely don’t have a problem with longevity at all with that perfume. It should last your whole workday. But I will also say I am a pretty big oversprayer. When it comes to this perfume, I usually put around eight sprays on each arm and then 10 to 15 sprays on my chest, neck and shoulders. Also, if I’m dehydrated, I can’t get any perfume to last on me. So I always have to drink lots of water🤓😋
As far as people noticing the perfume, I haven’t got any compliments on it, but I can definitely smell it throughout the day on me🤓
Thanks Jamie! It's taking FOREVER for your purchases to arrive! Hang in there❤
Yes, I’ve got three different perfumes that are supposed to be coming in here soon🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
u are so right about coffee scents are dangerous lol they have to made just right or else its a disaster. im a coffee lover and so far all my coffee perfume blind buys are disasters. I wanted to order tiramisu coco but im scared of wasting money
I’m a big coffee lover as well but it is so hard to find a coffee perfume that works out on me🤣😋 I am very curious about the tiramisu perfume🤔
Your Banana Bliss bottle change looks so much better. Those awful bottles saved me from buying.
I haven't tried After Effect, but I did find Side Effect too masculine for me. I got Maison Alhambra version, Infini Elixir, and it's sweeter/more feminine.
I'm not at all offended by your reaction to Vanilla Toffee, and nor should anyone else be. I found it funny and ordered anyway. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I’m glad that you enjoyed the video friend🤓😋 I really think that I’m gonna be the minority. I think that the majority of people are really gonna love this perfume. It’s just for whatever reason not working out for me🙈🤣🤣🤣
Do you find those travel sizes leak? I’ve heard they can but they seem so convenient. Especially if you’re actively trying to use something.
They do drip right after I get done pumping in the perfume. So what I’ll do is take a paper towel and dab the bottom where the hole is and then it’s good🤓
I have stopped blind buying because of all the excess and decluttering. I have bought Middle Eastern perfume samples/decants from Hyggescent on the shop app and also trusted buyers on Mercari. It is soooo much better for my wallet. With all the reviewers, you just never know who smells the same things you smell. Everyone is different. This is what currently works for me.
Yes, most of the time I have been trying to get into the habit of buying travel sizes first. But with vanilla toffee, I was just so sure I was gonna love it🙈 that’s what I get for assuming😂😂😂 Hopefully, I learned my lesson😋
Thank you! I haaaaaate Shaghaf Oud Tonka. Everyone loves it and I feel left out😢
Yes, I definitely feel like the majority of people really love that perfume but for me I just felt like it was lacking something. I’m glad to know. I’m not the only one😂
Glow by J Lo is a really different fragrance and once you experience it and you get past what you think it was going to smell like…… it is quite amazing…. at least that’s the way it was for me.
I’m very excited to experience it🤗
Hi Jamie 🤗😘 I know the panic when the little doggies escape, oh my gosh it's awful!! 😭 My Yorkie mix got loose in a Petco parking lot one time and was a few feet away from running onto a main road before I caught her 😅 Another time (days after I had a hysterectomy, so I couldn't run) she got out the front door when I opened it to get a package. I live in Florida and drivers are crazy here, they speed through neighborhoods all the time so I was terrified. Luckily she just ran out to the driveway and looked around and stopped 😅😅
Yesterday we went to a flea market near us that we had never been to and much to my surprise, there were several Arabian perfume shops and pop ups with testers. Oh my gosh, I was like a kid in a candy store 🤣🤣 I smelled Yara Candy and it smelled soooo good! I had already gotten a different perfume though so I didn't get it, but next time I'll try to get it.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes! Sometimes our puppies do scary things and it gives me so much anxiety🙈🙈🙈
That is really cool that they had a bunch of Middle Eastern perfumes out to try! I wish they had something like that here🤓🤗
I got electric fantasy and it smells like Donna born in Roma !
Thank you for sharing, friend!😯🤗🥰🥰🥰
Hiii Jamie! ❤ I love those little pump travel atomizers, so handy! Oh no Penelope! Our last dog could only go outside on leash for the entire time we had her because she'd be the same way- run off and forget we were even her family.. freedom! 😄😆🤣 hahaha (at least I got on a lot of walks every day while we had her) 😂
Just smashed the top off with a hammer!! 😅😂 love it! Did you use a funnel to pour it in? I think it would be hard to get it in there!
Guess what, the lady just received her bottle of the Vanilla Toffee, and she has my sample ready to ship 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I really think it'll be either a love or a hate for me and I have no idea which! 🫣😬😁
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes! Penelope is our escape artist😂😂😂 my other two dogs are too big and they can’t fit through any of the little cracks in the fence so I never have to worry about them.
I’m so excited for you to get your vanilla toffee in 🤗🤓 you may really love it🤷🏻♀️ I really think I’m gonna be the minority here when it comes to this perfume😂😂😂
Still here listening to, and I was going to tell you that someone said to rub unscented deodorant on your skin if you can't get the smell of a nuclear perfume to come off, I've tried it and it works!
I don't care for the mustard yellow bottle either 😅
When my sample gets here I am going to spray it OUTSIDE and only ON PAPER to start with, I do not want burning nostrils and/or a headache!! 🥴🤣🤣
@ thank you so much for sharing that!🤗🥰🥰🥰
Wow. Thanks so much for this honest review. I thought it was inspired by Guerlain Tonka Imperial which I have and Iove but it does not sound like it. I see they are already reducing the price here😢.
It could be just my nose, but I am mainly picking up a dark, bitter, earthy coffee mixed with very spicy cardamom🤷🏻♀️ I was hoping for more of a buttered toffee sweet treat with maybe a little coffee in the background😋
You saved me from Vanilla Toffee
😂😂😂😂😂
I had A crazy quite expensive October, I purchased Khair Confection, frenetic Delixieuse, dior Addict, Ophidian Black cherry (love It) Devotion Intense, la vie est Belle l'elixer, angel muse and angel fantasm ,junoon Rose and Voux patiserie
I really had high hopes for the newest shaghaf...but now I will wait till the prices drop a bit.
Also I think I need to do a serious declutter before buying new fragrances
Maybe 1 or 2 for christmas, but then I am Done and wait for 2025
Wow, those all sound amazing😵 I love Junoon rose and confection and devotion intense🤓🤗 I still need to get my nose on Dior addict👃🏻
Love your video ❤❤❤
Thank you friend!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Jamie! Next time lay a dark t shirt on table so you don’t waste any juice. What keeps me not purchasing is the tacky bottle. I want to enjoy the juice perfume and the bottle to get a full excitement LOL❤
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 thank you for the advice 🤓🤗
Who is the kitty and Lizard in back?🖤💚
Vanilla toffee is a beast 🧡
Yes! A beast!🤣🤣🤣
My cats name is Finley and then I have a western hognose snake in that tank named noodles🤓😋
@ it’s best you let it go, of it for the animals sake at least💜
@@Mamabearperfumechannel I vaguely remember you talking about noodles in a past video?
@@Mamabearperfumechannel I love the name Finley☺️
😮~ A nose torch… 👃🔥 Good to know. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure many many people love gourmand perfumes since they keep making them but I'm not really a fan. Just a few I have liked. I which there would be more sofisticated unique combinations bc I really don't like to smell like food or dessert 😂
I completely understand that🤓 there are some days where I want to smell anything but food😂😂😂 I feel like I enjoy a nice variety of different scent profiles. It just depends on what mood I’m in😋
I blind bought Melon Kiss and also Juicy Melange…. I sprayed them a few times and they are back in their boxes…for 5 months now🤣😂
I have not tried those two perfumes before🤔 That’s funny that you put them back in their boxes, like they’re going to jail😂😂😂
@ yup, they are in perfume time out! They are lovely fragrances but I can smell the vanilla. I am a fruity, light, airy, scent lover. They are too rich for me.
You’re so funny 😂❤
Thank you friend😂😂😂😂
I got Fenty by Fenty and I had a bad experience. Many people love it. For me it was a scrubber. A shower. All the things. I smelled like an incense shop in a bad way. It happens. Take care ❌️ ⭕️
I’ve never tried that one before, but I completely understand what you’re talking about😋 I hope you’re having a great Monday🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰
🎉
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Instead of selling the whole bottle of Vanilla Toffee, you should consider selling 5ml decants. I know alot of people would love to sample before purchasing. I bet you would do better because with all the fees on Mercari for buyers, you would be selling at a major loss for the full bottle.
It’s too late because I already sold it!😭 but that is a genius idea! 🤓 I need to remember that for next time.
Beware of the perfume decanter things....mine leaked terribly and I swear one of them completely evaporated somehow. Maybe don't put your most precious perfumes in them until you're sure you have a good set.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me friend!🥰🥰🥰🥰
😂too much of goodness is coming 😅😅
😂😂😂
17:10 😂 sssst 🫣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m the problem 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Funny, there’s something in Vanilla Skin I don’t like either. I didn’t know it has oud. I must not like that either.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one🤣🙈
Hey those atomizers evaporate like crazy . Use them right away or they will be gone 100 percent in a couple of months
Thank you for sharing!🥰🥰🥰
I think you have a werry sofistikated nose and that I why you had that reaction.
I mean that in the bedst way, I have a friend and her nose are amazing when we are trying perfume together 😊.
Big hugs from Denmark.
🥰💝🌹
Thank you, friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰
You lost 5 mils of the Banana Bliss!!! TRAGIC! Black Opium makes you nauseous?!? Wow!! I don't remember you saying that about any fragrance before!😮😮😮 "The angry coffee came back to murder my nose".Oh my gosh "marinating pee", You're amazing!!🤣😂🤣 YOU GO TO OLIVE GARDEN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY TO EAT BIG PLATES OF PASTA ALONE!?! We're definitely some sort of kindred spirits!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you always make me laugh🤓 yes! Losing 5 ml was tragic!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why shouldn’t Middle Eastern Companies charge $80 for their creations? I don’t understand
I can’t speak for everyone, but I feel like most people were most excited about these Middle Eastern perfumes when they were first coming out because they were so inexpensive unlike most designer and niche perfumes. So they were more obtainable for people that couldn’t afford expensive perfumes but still wanted to smell nice😋🤗
@@MamabearperfumechannelI disagree but it’s not my intention to be argumentative and we know how written word can be misunderstood. My intention is not to come across as rude.
I am sorry you are disappointed in your blind buy, to be honest I am not sure how I am expecting this one to smell😂. I guess we’ll see in a few weeks.
Thank you for the video and love your style of delivery 😂
@@jusblack_thabi no no not rude at all🥰🥰🥰You brought up a really good question and I had to think about it for a minute. But I think that’s the answer as far as I know🤷🏻♀️ but if someone else would like to comment and weigh in I would love to know what their answer might be🤓
@@jusblack_thabi I’ve been thinking about it a little bit more and I think one of the other reasons is that a lot of these perfumes are supposed to be duping a more expensive perfume. But if that dupe starts to become just as expensive as what it’s supposed to be duping then you might as well buy the real thing. But that’s just my opinion. Never feel bad for disagreeing with me. I respect all peoples opinions and they are very welcome here🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Jaimie. Loved that preview.😂 Swiss Arabian is one house that I will pay a bit more for. 80 is a bit steep, but I am guessing that the prices will go down in a bit. 80 is the "hype" price. Here in Europe, I paid 55. Still high, but worth it, IMO. 😊
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 yes, I completely agree🤓 I was looking at some of their other perfumes on the website and I was thinking that when vanilla toffee came out, it would be around the $50-$60 range so the $80 was a bit of a shock🤣🤣 I’m glad you got it for a better price 🥰🥰🥰
I also have allergic reactions to stank. Lol 😆
😆😆😆😆😆
I started off loving Oud Tonka. Now I don’t like it. Pee in the toilet 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤😊
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Seem like the only ppl that Love Vaniilla Toffee are the ones who went to party in Dubai. Every review I’ve watched is the same.. something in it that is strong & wrong 😂Despite all that I’m still gonna blind buy now at $70. I too am the problem 🤦🏾♀️
We can be the problem together!🙋🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I never want to deter buying Anything they might enjoy🤗🥰🥰 it just didn’t work out for me🙈😂
It’s not just you with the Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee. I actually love strong coffee scents, but when I spray this, I don’t get coffee at all. I don’t get vanilla. I just get spoiled, sickly sweet dates I think, and it’s a real turnoff. In fact, I hate it, and am very disappointed that I spent so much money on a perfume that, frankly, smells gross to me. I was so excited for it, that I got it as soon as it released. This has to be the biggest disappointment in a perfume I have ever felt. It did teach me a valuable lesson not to blind buy perfumes that just sound good without watching and reading many reviews beforehand.
I am really glad to know that it’s not just me, but I am sorry at the same time that it’s not working out for you. I completely agree with you. It was just a huge disappointment and I was really expecting this to be so good. But I guess better luck next time🤷🏻♀️😅
I was able to sell mine for $45 so at least I got some of my money back🤷🏻♀️ I heard another subscriber say that if you have a perfume that you want to sell just split it up into 5ml decants and then sell them all individually and you would make more of your money back🤷🏻♀️
