    I recently tried yum pistachio, and I hated the smell. I sprayed it on my skin in the store in left. Why my chemistry mixed with it, oh it was beautiful on my skin. Spraying it in the air was terrible, but spraying on the skin ❤. I learned something new that day.

    Fragrances have TWO weeks to impress me or it’s gone. I don’t care how much a bottle costs, there’s no reason why I should have to wait months before I can enjoy it. It’s like waiting around for a man to change. 😂

    I got myself into fragrances through arabic perfumes this year. I'm loving the community and I'm happy to have learned my tastes through exploring...
    I've learned they don't all smell super high quality. some kind of remind of a canned hamburger. They get so hyped up as sexy, demure, must have, high quality and then when you get them it's like would you really choose this over all the other options you have access to? would you take a canned hamburger when you could have steak or even brunch at a park?
    I want to explore niche in the future and sample more. thanks for keeping it real and showing us your experience

      You could potentially have worked out whether you would like some of the Arabian ones by sampling the OG's of what they are duping. Chances are you wouldn't like a lot of those either.

    Nelija, I've had more miss than hits with these ordered "Middle Eastern Scents". NOW what i realized is that the real top notch Arabian scents are purchased in Dubai or other Middle Eastern Countries. For example, when i smelled Shaghaf Oud in person in Dubai vs the one i got via Amazon, total night vs day.

    I find a lot of Arabic perfumes to have a weird musk that I definitely do not like. And sometimes you don’t smell it until you hop in the shower and all those other notes start to rinse away, then you start getting the musky base in the air. Bleh. I’m not a dupes girl either so really I’ll just stick to my non-Arabic perfumes. I know they’re inexpensive but, maybe I like spending a lil coin to smell good ❤

      I think you are buying the wrong Arabian fragrances, you need to know the type of perfumes you like before splurging/ blind buying and buy from higher quality brands like khadlaj, Swiss Arabian , Al Haramain, Lattafa pride etc , some of the lower quality brands can easily be more misses than hits

    Arabian are the MOST compelling scents. I cant help but wonder if theres not some bias/prejudice behind this. I mean its not like all Arabian scents are similar. And you didnt say "aouds," you said "Arabian" which implies that its not the scent group you object to, but rather the part of the world where it comes from - which makes zero sense.

      I agree. There's a loooot of ignorance in all the comments of the "Arabian" videos from people who couldn't name one country in Middle East (Dubai is not a country!). Like everything, they are hit or miss and just by sheer volume, there will be a lot people don't like. Also these viral ones are their version of TJ Maxx perfumes. "Real" Middle Eastern perfumery has been renowned for centuries!

      Maybe she used the incorrect term, but I don’t think she’s bias or prejudice if that’s what you’er insinuating. Secondly; a lot of the fragrances she mentioned are cheap imitations of authentic Arabic scents… which could certainly disrupt the quality of a fragrance. Don’t just jump to such harsh conclusions; instead use this moment to teach/share your knowledge of Arabic fragrances.
