I 100% agree with your whole lineup! Also the way you describe each fragrance is exactly as it actually smells. One of my favs of 2024 was Her Confession also💞🙌
Thank you so much for this vote f confidence babe ❤ It means a lot to me ❤ I could not agree more. Her Confession is such a stunning unique perfume. I think we all needed a perfume like that in our lives ❤
I love your taste in fragrances. Based on your recommendations, I have around 25 fragrances just waiting to mature for 4-6 months. It is so hard to wait that long for it to develop- but it is so worth it. Many Thanks!!
How do you know it is worth it? Many will be ready with in days! Some are usable right out of the box. There is no 'rule' that they must mature that long. Don't wait! if your fragrance smells good to YOU.....WEAR IT. Some, will never smell good. Just the way it is when you blind buy. We all go through it and honestly I love the gamble!
Gosh, I don't have any of those! Great to hear about them! And always great to see you. Bright blessings to you and yours in 2025. We're going to need it!
Thank you my hun ❤ It feels great to be back. I missed everyone so much ❤ May 2025 bring you all things good an beautiful hun ❤ Wishing you the most successful and blessed 2025 ❤
O I'm so late today I'm just not well and have soo much stress going on apart from that I hope you're having a wonderful year and thank you always for putting so much work on videos I love to see you always on my feed such a wonderful lady ❤❤
Oh my hun ❤ I don't know what you are going through, but know that I am thinking about you. Please do not ever feel obligated to leave a comment. Take care of yourself first ❤ Thank you for always being such a great supporter here ❤ Love you loads! May 2025 solve all your problems and leave you with everlasting peace and happiness. So much love your way ❤ xo
Thank you for your accurate descriptions and your positive wishes. I agree as to discovering more clean, citrus and woody scents in the future. Every blessing be yours.
You are so kind, thank you so much for your beautiful words and support! ❤ As much as I love them, we need a break from gourmands for sure. Here is to many freshies our way. May 2025 be a year of blessings of love, success and happiness for you hun ❤ xo
Great list, Simin.I just recieved empire Victor and it is absolutely delicious, I'm tempted to buy a backup bottle but im trying not to do that anymore. I havent pulled the trigger on Sehr yet, something keeps holding me back. I'll give it a few more weeks 😅. I hope you had a restful time away, it's great to have you back ❤
Thank you, Simin, for curating such a beautiful collection of fragrances-truly hidden gems. While most fragrances are generally unisex, it would be helpful if you could specify whether a particular fragrance leans more masculine, feminine, or remains unisex. Keep up your brilliant work!
Hey my friend ❤ Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I usually add the statistics in the haul videos but will at least try to incorporate the inclination of a perfume in every video. It is a great idea because it will help a lot of people ❤
I agree her confessions and empire victor have been my best finds this year, I purchased antique by lattafa which I heard smelled close to Liam and received the most compliments! Thank you Beautiful lady Sim for all your great reviews and because of you have have the most amazing scents!
Yasssss!!! So happy that you are enjoying them all, especially the Victor ❤ After my Liam botte finishes, I might just as well get the Antique. At least i will get to try it. Coz I've heard only good things about it ❤ Thanks for letting me know hun ❤ Love & Light to you my hun ❤ xo
Thanks: Excellent 2024 perfume awards❤. Can relate: Invisalign takes time. Awkward and sometimes painful. The results are encouraging. Feel better, lovely angel. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much my hun ❤ OMG I love to hear the experiences of others with Invisalign. It is sooooo awkward! Especially coz I have rubber bands on both sides lol. The pain is not bothering me much but the sensitivity. OMG! I dont see much results yet coz its been less than 20 days :P But I am sooooo looking forward to finally having a better set of my sparklers lol ❤ xo
Thank you my beautiful hun ❤ Right?! ❤❤❤ This is my fav video to film. This year were better categories (19) but next year I might revise them to 25 lol.
@ you are one of many people that got me into fragrances, specifically middle Eastern. if I ever decide to make a channel you are one of my inspirations!! Simin what is you make a tag video with those 25 categories? 💁🏾♀️
I LOVE year end favourites videos sooo much! Doing my best at guessing which perfumes have won before you reveal them 😆❤️ I’m getting so excited everytime I guess something right! So happy to see many of my favs here! 😆 And i absolutely agree, 2024 was definitely the year of gourmands! P.S. As always LOVE you for mentioning which perfumes have Ambroxan 😘
Me tooooooo!!! It is probably my fav to film every year! ❤ So much fun. Nerve wrecking, but fun! Hahahaa I am sure you git most of my picks right. You know my choices too well. Right? We wished for gourmands in 2023 and they delivered in 2024. Lets now wish for freshies hehehe. I mentioned you in this video my dear Meg ❤ I will always be thankful to you for telling me about Ambroxan headaches ❤ Saved me a lot of misery lol.
Wishing you a wonderful, magical and healthy 2025 😊 Thanks for brightening our lives with your beautiful presence, earth angel! 💜 PS couldn't agree more with your wish for woody and citrus fragrances, they are right up my street!
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤❤❤ Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Wonderous 2025!!!! Hehehe I love your wishes ❤ You are too kind my hun, really. Yes to the Freshies, Woody and Earthy perfumes for 2025! All fingers and toes crossed lol ❤ Love & Light my Angel ❤
Great video! I used to wear Invisalign’s and they take a little bit to get used to. If you hadn’t said you were wearing them I never would have noticed! Happy New Year!!!
Thanks my hun ❤ I was really self-conscious about them! Lol. Its getting better but I might just not wear them while filming. Happy new year gorgeous! May 2025 be the year you have all your dreams come true!!! ❤❤❤
Happy New Year my Gorgeous Hun ❤ OMG I have missed you so much! Sorry I was AWOL for a bit. I hope this year is filled with love, blessings, success and happiness for you and your loved ones my angel ❤ Me toooooo!!! I already have a bunch of perfumes I need to test and then review ❤ So much love your way hun ❤ xo
I am not surprised at all by the ranking of Her Confession and Liam Grey! You've spoken so highly of both. My husband recently picked up Coconut Lagoon - have not tried it yet, but I am eager!!
You gotta let me know what you think of the Coconut Lagoon. I am sooooooo curious! This year I found a lot of 10/10 scents for myself ❤❤❤ I have a feeling 2025 is also going to be the same ❤
Good to see you Simin. I wish that there is coming a beautifull lilacs perfume. I love the dreamy soapy smell of lilacs. Thanks for your always entertaining reviews of all the perfumes in 2024. All the best wishes for 2025.
It is great to be back my hun ❤ Oh you know, I agree with you... We have not seen a good Lilac perfume in ages. Lilac is such a timeless note. Lemme try suggesting it to some brands here lol. Thank you for all your love & support babe ❤ xo May you have the best good things in 2025 and beyond!
Oh bless my hun ❤ Thank you for being so very kind to me. I hope this year I do justice with good descriptions and sound choices ❤❤❤ Happy New Year angel ❤
Happy New Year my gorgeous babe ❤❤❤ I am so happy to be back. I think there will still be a little lag in my uploads but before the end of Jan, I will be regular again ❤ Missed you so much!
Siminnn😍❤️My fav perfume creator is backkk. Loving seeing you having an amazing time with your family on Insta*. You’re looking BEAUTIFUL. That lip shade is sooo stunninggg on youuuu! Happy New Year (belated) hon 🎉🎊 May this year bring you nothing but the best blessings, growth, prosperity and so much joy! Loads of loveee❤
My Hunnnnnn!!!!! ❤❤❤ I missed you so much!!!!!! Thanks for the love and happy new year to you as well my beautiful hun! ❤ Yea I have been super busy with my nieces. It is whole lot of fun but comes with a whole array of exhaustion symptoms lol. I am also kinda sleepless :P Wishing you all the best in love, career, friendship and self care in 2025. I always want to see you happy babe ❤ Soooo much love your way ❤❤❤ xo
Hi Sim! 🙋🏻♀️ I've been waiting for this video! Interesting categories, too. I was surprised at your cherry pick! I thought for sure Paris Corner's Ophidean Black Cherry, but it did make best dark femine..😊. For me, that fragrance slightly edges out Mystic Cherry. Best Vanilla was a no-brainer. Not even close! Best soft feminine....I think my pick would be Lattafa's Peace & Love. I so love this fragrance. ❤
Heyyyyyy my hun ❤ Missed you so much! Hahaha to be honest, I first picked Black Cherry but then when I thought about Dark Feminine, I was like yea no "Black Cherry" Lol. Which worked out fine coz I love my cherry Bouquet as well ❤ I got my Peace and Love so recently and have not gotten used to it yet but I do quite love it. And agree, it would make a beautiful Soft Feminine ❤❤❤
Hey my Hun ❤ Wasn't this year just amazing? I feel every year ME perfume houses manage to one up themselves. I am soooo looking forward to 2025 releases ❤❤❤
Thank you for your well wishes into the new year. I needed to hear what you about laying out pathways for success and paths for creating healthy boundaries. I really like how you talk to your audience. Maybe you could share a couple seasonal lists from Ali this year. Which 10 perfumes do you share. Top spring-summer, fall-winter. Just for fun. (Chris, from the Perfume Nest, occasionally talks about her husband "picky Pat", and it's so fun. All the best to you in 2025!
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ I wish everyone will have a super blessed and loved 2025 and we look back at it in 2026 and think "Wow! That was a good year!" Hahahaa Ali is also so "Picky" and I wish he would come on my Channel because he is such a natural entertainer. Everyone will just love him I know. I will try and convince him to, fingers crossed lol. Wishing you the best in love, blessings, health and career my hun ❤
Thank you for the recommendation of Empire Victor. It's so lovely alone or in combination for me. I'm going to try Liam next because I have been looking for a tea scent. 😊
You are always welcome gorgeous ❤ I am the same as well. I can wear Victor with everything or alone. I think you will love Liam Grey. It is very unique and crowd pleasing at the same time ❤
Right?! I think we all can move past thick gourmands and have some freshness bought into our lives. Happy fresh perfumes all the way. And yesss! Sandalwood perfumes please lol ❤❤❤
Could you do a video for beginners? Like things to take into account when selecting a middle Eastern fragrance? I have trouble finding descriptions of how pronounced or well blended the oud is, or recommendations for someone that's never worn oud and want to have an intro, and definitely information about harsh openings, if a scent has those. You are the Queen! 🎉
Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for making this video. You just gave me ideas on which fragrances to try next for the rest of 2025 😂 On my to-buy list right now has: Sehr, Angham, Empire Victor, Liam Grey and Teriaq Intense. I want to put Her Confession as well but I’m not a fan of white florals. Tuberose and jasmine just turn me off 😅
Happy New Yar my Angel ❤❤❤ Oooooh I love your picks! I am sure you are building an amazing collection for yourself ❤ Hahaha my younger sister is just like you. She cannot tolerate Jasmine and Tuberose. So much love your way hun ❤ xo
Great list. My favs are fursan white and coconut lagoon. Coconut Lagoon surprised me, and the freshness of it is just amazing. Best wishes to you as well. ❤
Yasssss!!! Finally someone who tried Coconut Lagoon. It is so good right? It was the same for me as well. I was surprised how fresh it was. Such a welcome change ❤❤❤ Thanks for letting me know hun ❤ xo
@@SiminShaikhOh that's fine , I'm just happy now because I know you have very good taste and now know what is good to purchase.. love you Sim ❤ your the best
Love your picks for the 2024 awards! I thought it was just me but I’m getting a lot more florals from Her Confession too now. She’s still a beautiful perfume though 🤍
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤ Right?! What a beauty and I love that it switches to what you want it to smell like. Lactonic vs Floral lol. Happy New Year beauty! ❤❤❤
Hey my very gorgeous hun ❤❤❤ Happy New Year!!! Wishing you loads of love, happiness and success this year Angel ❤ Thank you for bringing such beautiful content to us. Keep shining babe ❤ xo
Happy New Year my beautiful hun! ❤ I am soooo happy to be back. Although not fully (family is still here), but at least I am talking to everyone again. I missed this so much! ❤
Fabulous Video dear Simin and I mostly agree wih your preferences even if I was expecting Nudo Exotic Flowers to shine on one podium🥰 and ....WOW🥰 I already have in my collection 11 of the 19 winner🤩🥰‼👑🎉 I'm expecting Cherry Bouquet and Musk Couture to be delivered so they will become 13 🎊and I'm thinking to get Opulence of Dubai in the future. About Rose Mystery I'm sure you would Love a 2006 Lalique creation called LES PERLES DE LALIQUE, it's a one of a kind rose parfum, very unique with a wonderful opening with Rose and Black Pepper, here's it's notes : Rose - Black Pepper, Iris and Powdery notes - Patchouli,Vetiver, Oakmoss, Iris rizhome and Cachemere Wood. It's rosy, peppery and earthy, all blended in a very unique and classy way,I'm sure you will love it. The coconut water mocktail could it be the Lemon Spritz : Coconut Water, Lemon Juice, Mint and Club Soda? Many blessings🌟🌠🌟
Heyyyy my gorgeous hun!!! Happy New Year!!!! ❤❤❤ Oh trust me Exotic Flower was in and out when I was setting this up lol. You know how much I love it. I am sooooo excited for you! Please do let me know what you think of them when they get delivered. I have soooo many new perfumes that I am testing out right now to review properly. Oh yes! I wanted to get Les Perles because it is supposedly a dupe to Midnight Poison which I absolutely adore. The notes sound even better than Midnight Poison to be honest lol ❤❤❤ Lemon Spritz!!!! Thank youuuuu!!! Hahahaa my ADHD brain cant 😆❤️
Hey simin really enjoyed this video ive pretty much got all of your top picks and agree there the best of the best. The only ones I dont have on your list are the cherry ones and mystic bouquet. Oh and lactea divina ..mmm just as i was about to go on a strict no buy as ive far to many and want to enjoy what ive actually got . But i dont have much will power 😮
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ I love that you are not just buying into hypes and temptations. Be strong, you can do it, lol (says the most loose-willed person ever). I miss enjoying a few perfumes at a time, cherishing every bit if it, creating signature layering combos. I think that is the down side of reviewing perfumes.
Hey BAD GAL, hope you’re 2025 started better than mine 😢! I can’t choose my fav like you did cause I don’t have many bottles as you do, so I’ll choose some by brand: Lattafa: - Art of Arabia III; - Khamrah Qahwa; - Amethyst; - Eclaire. Swiss Arabian: - Opulence of Dubai; - Shaghaf Oud; - Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee; - Tobacco 01. Paris Corner: - December Vanilla; - Rifaqaat; - Frenetic Delicieuse; - Dubai Cosmopolitan. French Avenue: - Liquid Brun; - Luscious; - Miraj Exclusif. Khadlaj: - Cashmere Warm Oud; - Empire Victor. Maison Alhambra: - Infini Elixir. If I have to choose just one of these… I’ll probably go for Shaghaf Oud, it’s not my favorite but it makes me feel good, clean and happy! Have a great afternoon 💜
@@MaameAnnAmoahit’s literally delicious! When you spray it, for the first 2/3 minutes, it has something aromatic that I don’t like but past that… Oh gosh, it makes me drool 😂
Hey BAD ANGEL ❤ Lol Oh nooooo... I hope whatever it is, it gets better soon and you have an awesome rest of 2025. I have high hopes for this year but the news channel says otherwise lol. Listen, I will say it again. Start reviewing perfumes if you can. So many people will benefit from your reviews. You have a great nose and choice. As for your picks: Lattafa: - Art of Arabia III - It is not even available here yet :( Only I & II) - Khamrah Qahwa; - Oooooh yes! - Amethyst; - My baby ❤❤❤ - Eclaire - I just found an alternative which I will review soon ❤ Swiss Arabian: - Opulence of Dubai - Oh yes, Always and forever ❤ - Shaghaf Oud - Classic beauty ❤ - Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee - Unfortunately not for me :( - Tobacco 01 - Sexy beast ❤ Paris Corner: - December Vanilla - Hella Yea! ❤ - Rifaqaat - Cant believe I slept on this for so long :( - Frenetic Delicieuse - I know I need to get this lol - Dubai Cosmopolitan - Ooooooh super curious... This never even came on my radar. Now it has. French Avenue: - Liquid Brun - I really wanted this on this list ❤ - Luscious - Best ❤ - Miraj Exclusif - Again! hella Yasssss!!! ❤ Khadlaj: - Cashmere Warm Oud - Oooooh someone is naughty lol ❤ Love it ❤ - Empire Victor - Gimme all day everyday ❤ Maison Alhambra: - Infini Elixir - I have the Rose Intense Instead ❤
Hy beautiful ❤ I am obsessed with the Coconut Lagoon. It is still quite cold here in Dubai (for a change). But I am excited for warmer weather just to wear these new freshies ❤
Oh my dear Simin. Happy New year. I share love and light to all of you❤. One small question, any powdery fragrances? f something close to baby powder, even better 😂❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Happy New Yeaaaaaar!!!!! ❤❤❤ Love & Light all the way babe. Unfortunately I did nit come across any powdery fragrances. Like proper powder not just nuances. When I do, I will be sure to share it with you ❤
Right?! I am totally in love with it. Angham is anther daily wear perfume that smells gorgeous and non-generic ❤ I will try Athena soon too for comparison ❤
Simmie! My gorgeous friend.😍❤😍 Oh my goodness I REALLY need to get Fursam White. I'm so into musks at the moment. It has been so cold here, -16!, and we had a blizzard over the weekend. The cold has me craving musks and deep woods. Even animalic musks which were so popular when I grew up in the 70s to mid 80s.❤ I'm wearing Estée Lauder Aromatics Elixir right now which has TWO animalic musks in the blend: civet and beaver, synthetic of course.❤ Are there any Middle Eastern chypres? I've also been craving oud! Can you believe that??😂😍 I told myself a few days ago that I was going to enjoy oud and the change in my mindset has opened my mind to the beauty of oud. I get it now. Oud Mood is still a bit too much for me and I think I need to continue to let my bottle mature, but I'm able to understand what you smell now and why oud is so popular.❤❤ Does Islam have a different calendar than the normal Gregorian. We do in Judaism. Our new year is always sometime in September or early October. But, of course, we celebrate January 1st too. I just wasn't sure if it was appropriate to say happy new year to you or not. I hope you have the happiest and most joy filled 2025.❤❤ And could you send some heat from Dubai so that I can warm up?😂🌨❄☀❤❤ All my love.❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Oh I have missed you! Minus 16!!!! Woah! That's too cold! Its 16 here and people are going nuts with layering clothes lol. I could not agree with you more. Warm, cashmere, animalic woods are best for winters ❤ So cozy inducing. Hahahaa I love how you mentioned "Synthetic if course" lol. I loved Aromatics Elixir back in the days. Maybe I need to get a small size again ❤ A lot of new Chypre fragrances will launch this year I reckon babe ❤ Ooooooohhhhhhh! You just crossed the bridge babe! Now there is no coming back lol. Once an Oudie, always an Oudie! It is like a Kundalini awakening lol. Sorry for my silliness ❤ I am just so happy for you ❤ I think both Judaism and Islam follow the Lunar Calendar if I am not mistaken. Our New Year will fall in June sometime I think. But we celebrate the Gregorian New Year too! More the merrier lol. If it was up to me I would celebrate the festivals in all religions ❤❤❤ Hahahaa I am manifesting warm weather for you. Slowly warming up your clothes, then muscles an then to the bone. Lovely Angel ❤ I wish you nothing but the best in health, love and prosperity ❤ Love & Light, Sim ❤
Hello, may I just say that creamy biscuit by Ministry of gourmet is now a new fave, it’s similar to tiramisu, but I didn’t purchase that one only the banana bliss so I am so happy to have creamy biscuit and it’s beautiful sparkly cupcake bottle💖
Hey my hun ❤ So I just received the new Ministry of Gourmand perfumes and I am sooooo excited to test and review them ❤ I am even more excited coz you love it ❤
Happy New Year, Sim! ❤ I missed you. I am with you with wishing there will be more Middle Eastern perfumes focusing on citruses and other freshies. I'm leaning more towards the fresher ones recently and I want to find something for my best friend. This year, I'll be buying Mystic Bouquet and Luscious, then try Musk Pure and Musk Couture. Also, Mocha Latte, since I love mocha as a drink. Also, can you recommend a perfume oil that will not affect much on the smell of perfumes but will boost the longevity? Sometimes, it's the smell of Hareem Al Sultan Blue left on my skin after work and not the perfume I layered over. 😅 But all the more reasons I love that oil. 😂 I wish you a healthier and a happier year ahead. 2025 is a year for both of our zodiac signs so I am more hopeful as compared to the past years. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy New Year my beautiful hun ❤ I missed you more!!! I feel empty when I am not connected with everyone. This video was also filmed in Dec 2024 but posted now lol. Ooooooh there are a lot if new freshies coming up soon babe ❤ I have a bunch of new ones that i will review soon after testing. But I agree, we need a lot more fresh perfumes. Your picks are spot on babe ❤ I know you gonna love them all. I am happy you dont just jump on trends and carefully curate your collection. Oooooh oils. The thing is that I am not very confident with oil suggestions especially coz I dont reach for them so much. But Johayna Green is an amazing Pistachio for fall/ winter. Lasts a lot but as per usual does not project too hard. I also quite love Haneen Pink by Khadlaj. Makes all perfumes smell pretty. Hahahaa are you a Cardinal sign as well? I know we had it rough for 15 years and we need a break!! ❤ Wishing you all things beautiful. Wishing you love and blessings. Wishing you success and prosperity. Here is to all things good in 2025 babe ❤❤❤
I Absolutely ❤ your videos! I don't always leave a 👍, but I will make sure I start from this day forward! This is also because most of the time, I watch your videos on my TV and I am under a different name… I believe 🤔 today, is my very first comment!(?) I can't express to you “Enough” how much I value your reviews and opinions, and don't let me forget the entertainment! Lol! I have had “SWEET PARADISE” in my cart for a month, wondering whether I should purchase it and you just answered that question for me! “Coconut Lagoon and her sister(Mango) are 2 I will be purchasing for sure! “EMPIRE” is GORGEOUS! “Cherry Bouquet” is a Chef’s 😙! I can go on and on! So, I leave you with this…(?) I am SEEKING a Good Berry dominating fragrance for any season(prefer it to go with w/every season). I also prefer it to have vanilla, but it's optional. Can you please give me some suggestionssss?! I already have “RAVE”(Burberry Her elixir). Unless you know of something like that DNA, but better… Please Help!! THANK YOU! I Greatly Appreciate it! :)
My beautiful Hun ❤ It is very kind of you to be so considerate. I know you don't have to leave a like and comment, so I really appreciate you. Hahahaa yessss! I love the silliness on my channel and like to keep things light. Everyone has enough stressors in life to add a boring video to their day lol. Oh my word! Your picks are sooooo good! ❤❤❤ When I looked at my table while filming this, I was so overwhelmed on how good they all were ❤ Oooooh berry perfume! I dunno why Sensuos Night by Khadlaj came to mind. Although it is not a Berry forward perfume but has a prominent blackcurrant I think. Lamsat Harir also just with Black current but OMG beautiful. Ahmed Al Maghribi Cherry, super fresh Strawberry. Lattafa Sakeena but it has a metal note that throws some people off. Gosh I hope this helps, coz nothing proper berry is coming to mind ❤❤❤
@ Thank you so much! Black Currant is perfect! I love that note! I will definitely be looking into these! I do have Sakeena and I do like her! Keep doing what you are doing because you do it GREAT! :)
I would love to see a Mid East coconut gourmand fragrance! I've tried all the coconut-forward perfumes like Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited (which I love), but they're not as gourmand as I would like.
Hi Sim! Can you please try the Absolute collection by French Arabian please? I have the absolute candy and it’s so good. I want to know if it smells similar to Khair confection and Yara candy as the notes are very similar. 😊
Hey Simin. I removed my comment as my aim is never to hurt or make one sad but to encourage to keep moving forward. I appreciate you and your content and my thoughts were the same as other TH-camrs on the same manner as once they get a certain amount of subscribers they forget to engage with them. I hope you had a lovely time off and I will continue to support your channel. Keep shining beautiful. Sending loads of love and support and a big hug for my last message. Apologies sweetheart. Stay blessed 🩷🧡
No :( He does not. But I found a seller on amazon, I might just pay a few extra bucks and get it. Especially if you are saying it is better than Angham, I just know it will floor me ❤❤❤
Hey my Hun ❤ Thank you my Angel. I did compare it to BG in my haul video. Its is very very close. I wear it all the time summer/ winter, day/ night, in my sleep lol ❤
Hey beautfiful ❤ Thank you so much. I just get them from their website babe (look out for the discounts). Khadlaj also has a shop in Moza Plaza Dubai. Great place to check out all the brands and try before you buy them ❤ I hope this helps.
Happy New Year Sim and I missed you so much. I have so many of the award winners thanks to you helping me learn. I love her confession, lactiva divina, cherry bouquet, mystic bouquet (it is now beast mode, I wore it this week), coconut lagoon, thank you Sim, your reviews are on point. Did you try Cream Velvet yet (Khadlaj)? It is similar to Eclaire but seems a little stronger, more delicious
Happy New Year my Angel ❤ Trust me I missed you more. It is my happy time here when we are sharing our passions ❤ Yasssss!!! I just got it yesterday and it is Divine!!! Cream Velvet is definitely super Buttery and Caramel heavy and just what the doctor ordered! Cant wait to review it ❤❤❤ Have the most blessed year babe! Love & Light ❤ xo
@@sowmyab506 to my nose it’s like if Versace Crystal noir and Liam grey had a daughter and her grandparents are le labo santal 33 and Gris Charnel. Basically it’s a whole different experience and I love it.
Just today I was googling "Soapy Middle Eastern fragrances" and found NOTHING. I am SO sick to death of the gourmand fragrances. I just don't want to smell like food! Much less food that children crave! I have found a total of 3 soapy fragrances (which I LOVE) and I have over 80 ME fragrances! I fear the Houses are following the Tic Tok little girls and ignoring the grownups. The three soapy scents, none of them new, were: Rasheeqa (Swiss Arabian) ~ Chanel No 5 L'Eau., Gabrielle Canal (Fragrance World) ~ Inspired by Chanel Gabrielle but with no sillage and even less longevity. Fragrance world did not do good work with that one! But, it smells great. Inara (Swiss Arabian) ~ Chanel Allure.
😂😂😂no such luck…the perfume prediction for 2025 in America anyway is lactonic/milky😂😂😂your fave😂😂😂oh & I heard there was one better than Liam grey as a dupe for bdk…it’s called Nyla by arabiyat prestige…have you smelt it??? I have not…but that’s what the buzz is🤷🏼♀️
I am still waiting for an explanation from Khadlaj about the different scents in the same bottles with the same names- most confusing brand of the year for sure.
hey Simin Shaikh your content is good but the thumbnail is bit boring...I can help with a good thumbnail... let me know if you are interested after seeing my portfolio.... Looking forward for your positive response
I 100% agree with your whole lineup! Also the way you describe each fragrance is exactly as it actually smells. One of my favs of 2024 was Her Confession also💞🙌
Thank you so much for this vote f confidence babe ❤ It means a lot to me ❤
I could not agree more. Her Confession is such a stunning unique perfume. I think we all needed a perfume like that in our lives ❤
I freaking love your sense of humor.. Sehr smells like a beautiful dragon! Perfect description 😆
Great video, Sim ❤
I love your taste in fragrances. Based on your recommendations, I have around 25 fragrances just waiting to mature for 4-6 months.
It is so hard to wait that long for it to develop- but it is so worth it. Many Thanks!!
How do you know it is worth it? Many will be ready with in days! Some are usable right out of the box. There is no 'rule' that they must mature that long. Don't wait! if your fragrance smells good to YOU.....WEAR IT. Some, will never smell good. Just the way it is when you blind buy. We all go through it and honestly I love the gamble!
Gosh, I don't have any of those! Great to hear about them! And always great to see you. Bright blessings to you and yours in 2025. We're going to need it!
Thank you my hun ❤
It feels great to be back. I missed everyone so much ❤
May 2025 bring you all things good an beautiful hun ❤ Wishing you the most successful and blessed 2025 ❤
O I'm so late today I'm just not well and have soo much stress going on apart from that I hope you're having a wonderful year and thank you always for putting so much work on videos I love to see you always on my feed such a wonderful lady ❤❤
Oh my hun ❤ I don't know what you are going through, but know that I am thinking about you. Please do not ever feel obligated to leave a comment. Take care of yourself first ❤
Thank you for always being such a great supporter here ❤ Love you loads! May 2025 solve all your problems and leave you with everlasting peace and happiness.
So much love your way ❤ xo
@SiminShaikh 🥰🥰🥺🥺💋♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️💘💘💘
Lovely awards and interesting categories ❤🎉
Happy new year !!!
Thank you my beautiful angel ❤
Happy New Year! May this year bring you the best and most beautiful things ❤❤❤
Thank you for your accurate descriptions and your positive wishes. I agree as to discovering more clean, citrus and woody scents in the future. Every blessing be yours.
You are so kind, thank you so much for your beautiful words and support! ❤
As much as I love them, we need a break from gourmands for sure. Here is to many freshies our way.
May 2025 be a year of blessings of love, success and happiness for you hun ❤ xo
@@SiminShaikh Thank you so very much.
Great list, Simin.I just recieved empire Victor and it is absolutely delicious, I'm tempted to buy a backup bottle but im trying not to do that anymore. I havent pulled the trigger on Sehr yet, something keeps holding me back. I'll give it a few more weeks 😅. I hope you had a restful time away, it's great to have you back ❤
Thank you, Simin, for curating such a beautiful collection of fragrances-truly hidden gems. While most fragrances are generally unisex, it would be helpful if you could specify whether a particular fragrance leans more masculine, feminine, or remains unisex. Keep up your brilliant work!
Hey my friend ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement.
I usually add the statistics in the haul videos but will at least try to incorporate the inclination of a perfume in every video. It is a great idea because it will help a lot of people ❤
I agree her confessions and empire victor have been my best finds this year, I purchased antique by lattafa which I heard smelled close to Liam and received the most compliments! Thank you Beautiful lady Sim for all your great reviews and because of you have have the most amazing scents!
Yasssss!!! So happy that you are enjoying them all, especially the Victor ❤ After my Liam botte finishes, I might just as well get the Antique. At least i will get to try it. Coz I've heard only good things about it ❤ Thanks for letting me know hun ❤
Love & Light to you my hun ❤ xo
Thanks: Excellent 2024 perfume awards❤. Can relate: Invisalign takes time. Awkward and sometimes painful. The results are encouraging. Feel better, lovely angel. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much my hun ❤
OMG I love to hear the experiences of others with Invisalign. It is sooooo awkward! Especially coz I have rubber bands on both sides lol. The pain is not bothering me much but the sensitivity. OMG!
I dont see much results yet coz its been less than 20 days :P But I am sooooo looking forward to finally having a better set of my sparklers lol ❤ xo
Wishing you a beautiful new year! I would love to see some gorgeous citrus scents, I absolutely adore citrus for the summer.
Hey my gorgeous hun! Happy New Year!!! ❤❤❤
I could not agree more! I want to see some new unique smelling citruses ❤
welcome back. i love seeing these countdowns from everyone because its nice to see what everyone thinks is their top.
Thank you my beautiful hun ❤
Right?! ❤❤❤ This is my fav video to film. This year were better categories (19) but next year I might revise them to 25 lol.
@ you are one of many people that got me into fragrances, specifically middle Eastern. if I ever decide to make a channel you are one of my inspirations!!
Simin what is you make a tag video with those 25 categories? 💁🏾♀️
I LOVE year end favourites videos sooo much! Doing my best at guessing which perfumes have won before you reveal them 😆❤️ I’m getting so excited everytime I guess something right!
So happy to see many of my favs here! 😆 And i absolutely agree, 2024 was definitely the year of gourmands!
P.S. As always LOVE you for mentioning which perfumes have Ambroxan 😘
Me tooooooo!!! It is probably my fav to film every year! ❤ So much fun. Nerve wrecking, but fun! Hahahaa I am sure you git most of my picks right. You know my choices too well.
Right? We wished for gourmands in 2023 and they delivered in 2024. Lets now wish for freshies hehehe.
I mentioned you in this video my dear Meg ❤ I will always be thankful to you for telling me about Ambroxan headaches ❤ Saved me a lot of misery lol.
Wishing you a wonderful, magical and healthy 2025 😊 Thanks for brightening our lives with your beautiful presence, earth angel! 💜 PS couldn't agree more with your wish for woody and citrus fragrances, they are right up my street!
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤❤❤
Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Wonderous 2025!!!! Hehehe I love your wishes ❤ You are too kind my hun, really.
Yes to the Freshies, Woody and Earthy perfumes for 2025! All fingers and toes crossed lol ❤
Love & Light my Angel ❤
We need gourmand edition 🔥🔥❤️❤️ great video sis 😍😍
I have sooooo many new gourmands coming this year! And I cannot wait to compile a fresh new Gourmand video for you babe ❤ Thank you my Angel ❤
Great video! I used to wear Invisalign’s and they take a little bit to get used to. If you hadn’t said you were wearing them I never would have noticed! Happy New Year!!!
Thanks my hun ❤ I was really self-conscious about them! Lol. Its getting better but I might just not wear them while filming. Happy new year gorgeous! May 2025 be the year you have all your dreams come true!!! ❤❤❤
Happy New Year my Beautiful Friend!❤❤❤
I loved your picks for 2024 and I am very excited to see what's coming around the corner for 2025!❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year my Gorgeous Hun ❤
OMG I have missed you so much! Sorry I was AWOL for a bit. I hope this year is filled with love, blessings, success and happiness for you and your loved ones my angel ❤
Me toooooo!!! I already have a bunch of perfumes I need to test and then review ❤
So much love your way hun ❤ xo
You’re honestly my perfume guru!! I absolutely love your videos, the reviews are amazing♥️♥️
Awww sweetheart! I am going to miss you so much!!! I am already sad.... ❤
@ awww me too🥺♥️
Happy New Year Sim🎉..great job on this end of year video❤
I am not surprised at all by the ranking of Her Confession and Liam Grey! You've spoken so highly of both. My husband recently picked up Coconut Lagoon - have not tried it yet, but I am eager!!
You gotta let me know what you think of the Coconut Lagoon. I am sooooooo curious!
This year I found a lot of 10/10 scents for myself ❤❤❤ I have a feeling 2025 is also going to be the same ❤
@SiminShaikh just tried it last night! Coconut Lagoon reminded me so much of a tropical drink with rum, lime, and coconut. Loved the scent bubble. 🥥
Good to see you Simin. I wish that there is coming a beautifull lilacs perfume. I love the dreamy soapy smell of lilacs. Thanks for your always entertaining reviews of all the perfumes in 2024. All the best wishes for 2025.
It is great to be back my hun ❤
Oh you know, I agree with you... We have not seen a good Lilac perfume in ages. Lilac is such a timeless note. Lemme try suggesting it to some brands here lol.
Thank you for all your love & support babe ❤ xo
May you have the best good things in 2025 and beyond!
I watch your videos on my long drives! Such great descriptions of the perfumes and I love your opinions! Thank you!
Oh bless my hun ❤ Thank you for being so very kind to me.
I hope this year I do justice with good descriptions and sound choices ❤❤❤
Happy New Year angel ❤
queen, welcome back, we missed your reviews a lot❤❤
My beautiful hun ❤ Trust me I missed you more. I am so glad to be back again. My nieces are still here but after second half Jan I will be at it ❤❤❤
Happy New Year Simin🎉🎉🎉 wishing you all the best in 2025. Lovely to see a video up 😊 I thoroughly enjoyed it 💛
Happy New Year my gorgeous babe ❤❤❤
I am so happy to be back. I think there will still be a little lag in my uploads but before the end of Jan, I will be regular again ❤ Missed you so much!
Excellent compilation Simin! Thank you
You are so welcome my hun ❤ Happy New Year Angel ❤
Siminnn😍❤️My fav perfume creator is backkk. Loving seeing you having an amazing time with your family on Insta*. You’re looking BEAUTIFUL. That lip shade is sooo stunninggg on youuuu! Happy New Year (belated) hon 🎉🎊 May this year bring you nothing but the best blessings, growth, prosperity and so much joy! Loads of loveee❤
My Hunnnnnn!!!!! ❤❤❤ I missed you so much!!!!!!
Thanks for the love and happy new year to you as well my beautiful hun! ❤ Yea I have been super busy with my nieces. It is whole lot of fun but comes with a whole array of exhaustion symptoms lol. I am also kinda sleepless :P
Wishing you all the best in love, career, friendship and self care in 2025. I always want to see you happy babe ❤ Soooo much love your way ❤❤❤ xo
Hi Sim! 🙋🏻♀️ I've been waiting for this video! Interesting categories, too. I was surprised at your cherry pick! I thought for sure Paris Corner's Ophidean Black Cherry, but it did make best dark femine..😊. For me, that fragrance slightly edges out Mystic Cherry. Best Vanilla was a no-brainer. Not even close! Best soft feminine....I think my pick would be Lattafa's Peace & Love. I so love this fragrance. ❤
Heyyyyyy my hun ❤
Missed you so much! Hahaha to be honest, I first picked Black Cherry but then when I thought about Dark Feminine, I was like yea no "Black Cherry" Lol. Which worked out fine coz I love my cherry Bouquet as well ❤
I got my Peace and Love so recently and have not gotten used to it yet but I do quite love it. And agree, it would make a beautiful Soft Feminine ❤❤❤
Fantastic video!!!!
Thank you so much friend ♥️ Happy New Year 🎊
@ you’re very welcome 😊 Happy New Year to you as well 🙏🏿
Love your video ❤❤❤ 😊
You are absolutely gorgeous ❤ and your videos are amazing too! Thank you for your hard work
My beautiful hun ❤ Happy New Year!!!
Thank you so much for your kindness and love ❤ I will always strive hard to make the best videos for you ❤ xo
Defiantly agree with you
Empire Victor
Angham is delicious and I love the dry down where Vanilla kicks in
Eclair
Cherry Bouquet
Obsessed with these 4
Hey my Hun ❤
Wasn't this year just amazing? I feel every year ME perfume houses manage to one up themselves. I am soooo looking forward to 2025 releases ❤❤❤
I love your videos and have started building my collection. Plus, you're very pretty
Thank you beautiful! I am so happy you’re enjoying my content ❤ I hope to bring you only the best content this year as well ❤ Happy new year gorgeous!
Happy new year simin 🎉,love your categories and your picks.
Happy New Year my gorgeous hun ❤ Looking forward to sharing many more perfume discoveries with you!
Never clicked so fast!!!
You are my angel hun ❤ Happy New Year and soooooo much love your way ❤
Thank you for your well wishes into the new year. I needed to hear what you about laying out pathways for success and paths for creating healthy boundaries. I really like how you talk to your audience.
Maybe you could share a couple seasonal lists from Ali this year. Which 10 perfumes do you share. Top spring-summer, fall-winter. Just for fun. (Chris, from the Perfume Nest, occasionally talks about her husband "picky Pat", and it's so fun.
All the best to you in 2025!
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
I wish everyone will have a super blessed and loved 2025 and we look back at it in 2026 and think "Wow! That was a good year!"
Hahahaa Ali is also so "Picky" and I wish he would come on my Channel because he is such a natural entertainer. Everyone will just love him I know. I will try and convince him to, fingers crossed lol.
Wishing you the best in love, blessings, health and career my hun ❤
Thank you for the recommendation of Empire Victor. It's so lovely alone or in combination for me. I'm going to try Liam next because I have been looking for a tea scent. 😊
You are always welcome gorgeous ❤ I am the same as well. I can wear Victor with everything or alone. I think you will love Liam Grey. It is very unique and crowd pleasing at the same time ❤
Great review good information greetings from the Netherlands
My hun!!!! ❤❤❤
Happy New Year to you all the way from Dubai ❤ xo
Definitely I am up for Sandalwood and clean , citrusy fresh innovation!! You just told my long time wish!!❤
Right?! I think we all can move past thick gourmands and have some freshness bought into our lives. Happy fresh perfumes all the way. And yesss! Sandalwood perfumes please lol ❤❤❤
@ Absolute ❤️🥰
My favorite video of year too 🎉
Mine tooooo!!! I get so excited to film this one ❤❤❤
Could you do a video for beginners? Like things to take into account when selecting a middle Eastern fragrance? I have trouble finding descriptions of how pronounced or well blended the oud is, or recommendations for someone that's never worn oud and want to have an intro, and definitely information about harsh openings, if a scent has those. You are the Queen! 🎉
Happy New year Simin May all your dreams and goals come truue 💝💝
Happy New Year to you as well my love. Let's make this year amazing! ❤ Keep shining bright beautiful ❤❤❤
💯for each perfume, I ❤ n own 80% of this list n your reviews are on point💎🤩👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Happy New Year!!
Happy new year my gorgeous hun!!! ❤
Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for making this video. You just gave me ideas on which fragrances to try next for the rest of 2025 😂
On my to-buy list right now has: Sehr, Angham, Empire Victor, Liam Grey and Teriaq Intense. I want to put Her Confession as well but I’m not a fan of white florals. Tuberose and jasmine just turn me off 😅
Happy New Yar my Angel ❤❤❤
Oooooh I love your picks! I am sure you are building an amazing collection for yourself ❤
Hahaha my younger sister is just like you. She cannot tolerate Jasmine and Tuberose.
So much love your way hun ❤ xo
Hi I’m new here. So excited I found your channel!🤓 Great choices adding to cart 🛒 Thank You much ❤
Great list. My favs are fursan white and coconut lagoon. Coconut Lagoon surprised me, and the freshness of it is just amazing. Best wishes to you as well. ❤
Yasssss!!! Finally someone who tried Coconut Lagoon. It is so good right? It was the same for me as well. I was surprised how fresh it was. Such a welcome change ❤❤❤ Thanks for letting me know hun ❤ xo
Yes to more fresher/ clean perfumes. Im Jamaican, its sunny all year round, I need clean/fresh. Happy new year!
Amen sis! Same! Dubai is 9 months of hot humid weather lol.
Happy New Year my Angel ❤
I love it ,im sooo happy you made this video ❤❤❤💚💛🩵
My gorgeous hun ❤ Thank you. I filmed this in Dec but could only manage to edit and post now ❤
@@SiminShaikhOh that's fine , I'm just happy now because I know you have very good taste and now know what is good to purchase.. love you Sim ❤ your the best
I really appreciate all your videos, I cannot afford 50 plus perfumes so thanks to you I can pick one or two but best of the best. 😊❤
That means a lot to me hun ❤
I am happy you dont just pick perfumes coz of trends and carefully curate them for your collection.
Hello Lovely Angel, thank you as always for the video 🖤✨️
So grateful you enjoyed the video my gorgeous hun 🖤✨️
Love your picks for the 2024 awards! I thought it was just me but I’m getting a lot more florals from Her Confession too now. She’s still a beautiful perfume though 🤍
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤
Right?! What a beauty and I love that it switches to what you want it to smell like. Lactonic vs Floral lol.
Happy New Year beauty! ❤❤❤
It's Simin's 2024 awards but it's mine 2025 purchase. Tq😄
Hehehee! May 2025 bring you all the best perfumes your heart desires along with all other desired blessings ❤❤❤
Happy New Year🎉❤
Happy New Year my beautiful hun ❤

Thank you for bringing such beautiful content to us. Keep shining babe ❤ xo
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year beautiful ❤ May you have many beautiful things come your way in 2025! ❤❤❤
I’ll be getting Liam grey this year, Empire Victor is not yet available in my country but it’s on my list. Great list Simin
Yayyyyy happy new year! And I’m going to so late for work because I have to watch lol
Oh nooooo ❤❤❤ My hun, I feel you. I get late ever so often due to filming lol . Have a super year filled with success and love beautiful ❤
Hi Simin, was waiting for your new video!!! Happy New Year!!!!❤
Happy New Year to you too hun! Finally, it's here! ❤
Sorry for the leave of absence. This time of the Year is always fun but super hectic for me.
Hey sweet Simin ! 🤗 I love a lot of these perfumes !! ❤️❤️❤️
My very beautiful hun ❤ Happy New Year!!! I am so glad we share the same taste yayyyy!!!! ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh 🤗Yes ! 🥰Happy New Year, Simin 🙏🏻
Hi Sim!! I have been waiting for you to be back. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year my beautiful hun! ❤
I am soooo happy to be back. Although not fully (family is still here), but at least I am talking to everyone again. I missed this so much! ❤
Fabulous Video dear Simin and I mostly agree wih your preferences even if I was expecting Nudo Exotic Flowers to shine on one podium🥰 and ....WOW🥰 I already have in my collection 11 of the 19 winner🤩🥰‼👑🎉 I'm expecting Cherry Bouquet and Musk Couture to be delivered so they will become 13 🎊and I'm thinking to get Opulence of Dubai in the future. About Rose Mystery I'm sure you would Love a 2006 Lalique creation called LES PERLES DE LALIQUE, it's a one of a kind rose parfum, very unique with a wonderful opening with Rose and Black Pepper, here's it's notes : Rose - Black Pepper, Iris and Powdery notes - Patchouli,Vetiver, Oakmoss, Iris rizhome and Cachemere Wood. It's rosy, peppery and earthy, all blended in a very unique and classy way,I'm sure you will love it. The coconut water mocktail could it be the Lemon Spritz : Coconut Water, Lemon Juice, Mint and Club Soda? Many blessings🌟🌠🌟
Heyyyy my gorgeous hun!!! Happy New Year!!!! ❤❤❤
Oh trust me Exotic Flower was in and out when I was setting this up lol. You know how much I love it.
I am sooooo excited for you! Please do let me know what you think of them when they get delivered. I have soooo many new perfumes that I am testing out right now to review properly.
Oh yes! I wanted to get Les Perles because it is supposedly a dupe to Midnight Poison which I absolutely adore. The notes sound even better than Midnight Poison to be honest lol ❤❤❤
Lemon Spritz!!!! Thank youuuuu!!! Hahahaa my ADHD brain cant 😆❤️
Happy New Year beautiful girl. 💜🤟🏻
Happy New Year to you too my beautiful hun! ❤❤❤ Sending you loads of love and blessings for the new year ❤
Hey simin really enjoyed this video ive pretty much got all of your top picks and agree there the best of the best. The only ones I dont have on your list are the cherry ones and mystic bouquet. Oh and lactea divina ..mmm just as i was about to go on a strict no buy as ive far to many and want to enjoy what ive actually got . But i dont have much will power 😮
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
I love that you are not just buying into hypes and temptations. Be strong, you can do it, lol (says the most loose-willed person ever). I miss enjoying a few perfumes at a time, cherishing every bit if it, creating signature layering combos. I think that is the down side of reviewing perfumes.
Yesss Ophidian Cherry for Dark Feminine 🖤 it's such a cool vibe!!!
Right?! Hehehe. Did you guess it already when I mentioned Dark Feminine? ❤❤❤ I am so very obsessed with Black Cherry. Pretty Goth perfume ❤ xo

Have a great afternoon 💜
Beautiful....i wanna check out Frenetic delicious
@@MaameAnnAmoahit’s literally delicious! When you spray it, for the first 2/3 minutes, it has something aromatic that I don’t like but past that… Oh gosh, it makes me drool 😂
Hey BAD ANGEL ❤ Lol
Oh nooooo... I hope whatever it is, it gets better soon and you have an awesome rest of 2025. I have high hopes for this year but the news channel says otherwise lol.

Hy beautiful ❤ I am obsessed with the Coconut Lagoon. It is still quite cold here in Dubai (for a change). But I am excited for warmer weather just to wear these new freshies ❤
Simi i want to watch you for longer. I love to get my tea and watch your videos 😅.
Hahahaa babe you are too kind my hun ❤
Soooo much love your way and pray you have the best year filled with love, happiness and success my Angel ❤
Oh my dear Simin. Happy New year. I share love and light to all of you❤. One small question, any powdery fragrances? f something close to baby powder, even better 😂❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Happy New Yeaaaaaar!!!!! ❤❤❤ Love & Light all the way babe.
Unfortunately I did nit come across any powdery fragrances. Like proper powder not just nuances. When I do, I will be sure to share it with you ❤
@SiminShaikh love you Simin ❤️🥰
Empire Victor is amazing! I love Goddess so I want to try Angham
Right?! I am totally in love with it. Angham is anther daily wear perfume that smells gorgeous and non-generic ❤ I will try Athena soon too for comparison ❤
Great video❤❤❤
Thank you beautiful ❤
Simmie! My gorgeous friend.😍❤😍 Oh my goodness I REALLY need to get Fursam White. I'm so into musks at the moment. It has been so cold here, -16!, and we had a blizzard over the weekend. The cold has me craving musks and deep woods. Even animalic musks which were so popular when I grew up in the 70s to mid 80s.❤ I'm wearing Estée Lauder Aromatics Elixir right now which has TWO animalic musks in the blend: civet and beaver, synthetic of course.❤ Are there any Middle Eastern chypres?
I've also been craving oud! Can you believe that??😂😍 I told myself a few days ago that I was going to enjoy oud and the change in my mindset has opened my mind to the beauty of oud. I get it now.
Oud Mood is still a bit too much for me and I think I need to continue to let my bottle mature, but I'm able to understand what you smell now and why oud is so popular.❤❤
Does Islam have a different calendar than the normal Gregorian. We do in Judaism. Our new year is always sometime in September or early October. But, of course, we celebrate January 1st too. I just wasn't sure if it was appropriate to say happy new year to you or not.
I hope you have the happiest and most joy filled 2025.❤❤ And could you send some heat from Dubai so that I can warm up?😂🌨❄☀❤❤ All my love.❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Oh I have missed you!
Minus 16!!!! Woah! That's too cold! Its 16 here and people are going nuts with layering clothes lol. I could not agree with you more. Warm, cashmere, animalic woods are best for winters ❤ So cozy inducing. Hahahaa I love how you mentioned "Synthetic if course" lol. I loved Aromatics Elixir back in the days. Maybe I need to get a small size again ❤ A lot of new Chypre fragrances will launch this year I reckon babe ❤
Ooooooohhhhhhh! You just crossed the bridge babe! Now there is no coming back lol. Once an Oudie, always an Oudie! It is like a Kundalini awakening lol. Sorry for my silliness ❤ I am just so happy for you ❤
I think both Judaism and Islam follow the Lunar Calendar if I am not mistaken. Our New Year will fall in June sometime I think. But we celebrate the Gregorian New Year too! More the merrier lol. If it was up to me I would celebrate the festivals in all religions ❤❤❤
Hahahaa I am manifesting warm weather for you. Slowly warming up your clothes, then muscles an then to the bone. Lovely Angel ❤ I wish you nothing but the best in health, love and prosperity ❤
Love & Light, Sim ❤
Hello, may I just say that creamy biscuit by Ministry of gourmet is now a new fave, it’s similar to tiramisu, but I didn’t purchase that one only the banana bliss so I am so happy to have creamy biscuit and it’s beautiful sparkly cupcake bottle💖
Hey my hun ❤
So I just received the new Ministry of Gourmand perfumes and I am sooooo excited to test and review them ❤ I am even more excited coz you love it ❤
Happy New Year, Sim! ❤ I missed you.
I am with you with wishing there will be more Middle Eastern perfumes focusing on citruses and other freshies. I'm leaning more towards the fresher ones recently and I want to find something for my best friend.
This year, I'll be buying Mystic Bouquet and Luscious, then try Musk Pure and Musk Couture. Also, Mocha Latte, since I love mocha as a drink. Also, can you recommend a perfume oil that will not affect much on the smell of perfumes but will boost the longevity? Sometimes, it's the smell of Hareem Al Sultan Blue left on my skin after work and not the perfume I layered over. 😅 But all the more reasons I love that oil. 😂
I wish you a healthier and a happier year ahead. 2025 is a year for both of our zodiac signs so I am more hopeful as compared to the past years. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy New Year my beautiful hun ❤
I missed you more!!! I feel empty when I am not connected with everyone. This video was also filmed in Dec 2024 but posted now lol.
Ooooooh there are a lot if new freshies coming up soon babe ❤ I have a bunch of new ones that i will review soon after testing. But I agree, we need a lot more fresh perfumes.
Your picks are spot on babe ❤ I know you gonna love them all. I am happy you dont just jump on trends and carefully curate your collection. Oooooh oils. The thing is that I am not very confident with oil suggestions especially coz I dont reach for them so much. But Johayna Green is an amazing Pistachio for fall/ winter. Lasts a lot but as per usual does not project too hard. I also quite love Haneen Pink by Khadlaj. Makes all perfumes smell pretty.
Hahahaa are you a Cardinal sign as well? I know we had it rough for 15 years and we need a break!! ❤
Wishing you all things beautiful. Wishing you love and blessings. Wishing you success and prosperity. Here is to all things good in 2025 babe ❤❤❤
Lactea Divina is the best layering perfume if you love gourmands i wore it with a cherry perfume and it had me smelling like a dessert 🤤
Exactly what I’ve needed.
OMG I've made a note of this layering combo. And I need to try it first thing when I get home from work today lol. Thank you my Angel ❤
Please make a video of combo with empire and thank you an awesome videos ❤️
I Absolutely ❤ your videos! I don't always leave a 👍, but I will make sure I start from this day forward! This is also because most of the time, I watch your videos on my TV and I am under a different name… I believe 🤔 today, is my very first comment!(?) I can't express to you “Enough” how much I value your reviews and opinions, and don't let me forget the entertainment! Lol! I have had “SWEET PARADISE” in my cart for a month, wondering whether I should purchase it and you just answered that question for me! “Coconut Lagoon and her sister(Mango) are 2 I will be purchasing for sure! “EMPIRE” is GORGEOUS! “Cherry Bouquet” is a Chef’s 😙! I can go on and on! So, I leave you with this…(?) I am SEEKING a Good Berry dominating fragrance for any season(prefer it to go with w/every season). I also prefer it to have vanilla, but it's optional. Can you please give me some suggestionssss?! I already have “RAVE”(Burberry Her elixir). Unless you know of something like that DNA, but better… Please Help!! THANK YOU! I Greatly Appreciate it! :)
My beautiful Hun ❤
It is very kind of you to be so considerate. I know you don't have to leave a like and comment, so I really appreciate you. Hahahaa yessss! I love the silliness on my channel and like to keep things light. Everyone has enough stressors in life to add a boring video to their day lol.
Oh my word! Your picks are sooooo good! ❤❤❤ When I looked at my table while filming this, I was so overwhelmed on how good they all were ❤
Oooooh berry perfume! I dunno why Sensuos Night by Khadlaj came to mind. Although it is not a Berry forward perfume but has a prominent blackcurrant I think. Lamsat Harir also just with Black current but OMG beautiful. Ahmed Al Maghribi Cherry, super fresh Strawberry. Lattafa Sakeena but it has a metal note that throws some people off. Gosh I hope this helps, coz nothing proper berry is coming to mind ❤❤❤
@ Thank you so much! Black Currant is perfect! I love that note! I will definitely be looking into these! I do have Sakeena and I do like her! Keep doing what you are doing because you do it GREAT! :)
I would love to see a Mid East coconut gourmand fragrance! I've tried all the coconut-forward perfumes like Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited (which I love), but they're not as gourmand as I would like.
That’s a great idea! I will definitely keep an eye out for one! ❤ I have a feeling we are going to have a blast with ME summer picks this year ❤❤❤
Hi Sim! Can you please try the Absolute collection by French Arabian please? I have the absolute candy and it’s so good. I want to know if it smells similar to Khair confection and Yara candy as the notes are very similar. 😊
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Sure babe. I have added it to my Wishlist and will try and review them for you soon.
Happy 2025 Angel ❤
Got opelence of Dubai and layering but will go for leen next
I don't know why am not liking my cherry bouquet, will give it time to sit
Just let it sit for a bit babe. It gets very boozy and delicious soon ❤
@ oh waw I can’t wait 😛
Hey Simin. I removed my comment as my aim is never to hurt or make one sad but to encourage to keep moving forward. I appreciate you and your content and my thoughts were the same as other TH-camrs on the same manner as once they get a certain amount of subscribers they forget to engage with them. I hope you had a lovely time off and I will continue to support your channel. Keep shining beautiful. Sending loads of love and support and a big hug for my last message. Apologies sweetheart. Stay blessed 🩷🧡
Hey... No candy n choco/coffee perfume category?
Hey beautiful,
Unfortunately, the Candy perfumes did not wow me completely. Coffee and Oud clashed with Miraj Exclusif lol ❤
@SiminShaikh I was thinking of blind buying Khair Confection as there are no stores in India. I am sceptical now 🫣
Oooohhh no, Athena is much better than Angham. I hope you're able to get it soon.
Does your contact have a way to get it??
No :( He does not. But I found a seller on amazon, I might just pay a few extra bucks and get it. Especially if you are saying it is better than Angham, I just know it will floor me ❤❤❤
Plz do compare angham by lattafa to Burberry goddess... love this video!! Is angham for summer?
It can be worn year round. It isn't oppressive or too thick.
@JustSayLette_16 thank u 💓
Hey my Hun ❤
Thank you my Angel. I did compare it to BG in my haul video. Its is very very close. I wear it all the time summer/ winter, day/ night, in my sleep lol ❤
@SiminShaikh oh u did ? I've been travelling !! I got it last week when I was in Dubai and visited Khadlaj too- on your recommendation ofc! 😘
love your videos ❤Can you suggest places from where I can purchase Lataffa and kahdlaj perfumes in Dubai ?!
Hey beautfiful ❤
Thank you so much.
I just get them from their website babe (look out for the discounts). Khadlaj also has a shop in Moza Plaza Dubai. Great place to check out all the brands and try before you buy them ❤ I hope this helps.
Thank you so much ❤
Happy New Year Sim and I missed you so much. I have so many of the award winners thanks to you helping me learn. I love her confession, lactiva divina, cherry bouquet, mystic bouquet (it is now beast mode, I wore it this week), coconut lagoon, thank you Sim, your reviews are on point. Did you try Cream Velvet yet (Khadlaj)? It is similar to Eclaire but seems a little stronger, more delicious
Happy New Year my Angel ❤
Trust me I missed you more. It is my happy time here when we are sharing our passions ❤
Yasssss!!! I just got it yesterday and it is Divine!!! Cream Velvet is definitely super Buttery and Caramel heavy and just what the doctor ordered! Cant wait to review it ❤❤❤
Have the most blessed year babe! Love & Light ❤ xo
😂😂😂no such luck…the perfume prediction for 2025 in America anyway is lactonic/milky😂😂😂your fave😂😂😂
I ordered musamam white because of you but it’s not in this video 🙂
Hi, how do you like it? I’m looking to get it too
Hehehe the only reason it is not here is because it is a 2023 perfume, otherwise Musamam White Intense is my love forever ❤❤❤
@@sowmyab506 to my nose it’s like if Versace Crystal noir and Liam grey had a daughter and her grandparents are le labo santal 33 and Gris Charnel. Basically it’s a whole different experience and I love it.
Just today I was googling "Soapy Middle Eastern fragrances" and found NOTHING. I am SO sick to death of the gourmand fragrances. I just don't want to smell like food! Much less food that children crave! I have found a total of 3 soapy fragrances (which I LOVE) and I have over 80 ME fragrances! I fear the Houses are following the Tic Tok little girls and ignoring the grownups.
The three soapy scents, none of them new, were:
Rasheeqa (Swiss Arabian) ~ Chanel No 5 L'Eau.,
Gabrielle Canal (Fragrance World) ~ Inspired by Chanel Gabrielle but with no sillage and even less longevity. Fragrance world did not do good work with that one! But, it smells great.
Inara (Swiss Arabian) ~ Chanel Allure.
😂😂😂no such luck…the perfume prediction for 2025 in America anyway is lactonic/milky😂😂😂your fave😂😂😂oh & I heard there was one better than Liam grey as a dupe for bdk…it’s called Nyla by arabiyat prestige…have you smelt it??? I have not…but that’s what the buzz is🤷🏼♀️
How do i listen to you without being distracted by the gorgeous eyes.....🙊
Hehehe you are too kind my hun ❤
❤❤❤
Happy New Year beautiful Angel ❤
Assalamu Alaikum Simin 😊❤️
Waliekum Salaams my beautiful hun ❤
I am still waiting for an explanation from Khadlaj about the different scents in the same bottles with the same names- most confusing brand of the year for sure.
Hey my hun ❤
So Khaldaj reformulated 2 perfumes only.
Trust and Empire Victor. All batches from April 2024 are the new ones. I hope this helps.
hey Simin Shaikh your content is good but the thumbnail is bit boring...I can help with a good thumbnail... let me know if you are interested after seeing my portfolio.... Looking forward for your positive response
💗💗💗
Thank you my Angel ❤
