Just so you know, with Middle Eastern fragrances, you really need to let them sit and macerate for a couple of weeks to settle before you wear them. Also, clear out the atomizer with 8-10 sprays to clear it out.
Thanks for your reviews. I’m new to Lattafa, I’m obsessed with Khamrah. I get compliments everywhere I go on it. I also wanted to say that you’re so beautiful, I’m sure everyone tells you, but never bad to hear!😂
Heya Love ❤ It is a close dupe to Erba Pura. And it definitely shines during summer. You can also use it for layering to add a fruity touch to any of your fragrances. And you can mix it with vanilla to give it more depth for evening wear ❤❤❤
I totally understand what you mean about Ansaam gold. That first spray smells like paint to me.. Nebras is the most gorgeous perfume. I would never want to be without it! So nice to see you again.
Everytime I smell Nebras Gold, I like it even more. I wanna get a back up bottle but it is super expensive right now due to shortage of stocks. With Ansaam, I am at a stage that it irks me the wrong way. Very sad.
First day watching your videos as a new subbie and I have to say I ADORE your personality and reviews. And you're so gorgeous! I'm super late to the middle eastern fragrance game and fragrance game in general in my mid 30s. Khamrah just arrived in the mail yesterday and it blows away the majority of many western fragrances I've smelled. I've lost count of how many perfumes I've purchased and returned to Macy's. I hate fragrance shopping because as someone who gets migraines I'm easily triggered so I'm super selective. I go to stores and sample and my reaction to 95% of western fragrances in store is BLEH! I'm hoping middle eastern fragrances are just what I need to build a quality collection of maybe 20-30 fragrances. Definitely going to binge watch your videos and put a list together so thank you!! 💖
Thank you for the amazing video. I am a perfume collector in the U.S. I have recently been adding Middle Eastern fragrances to an ever growing collection. I have fallen in love with Lattafa to say the least. I also am addicted to Ansaam Gold. I like Kilian's, Love Don't be Shy, but am in love with Ansaam Gold. I wear it alone, layered with other fragrances and yes when I walk by I sniff it on my dresser. It is also displayed with my other favorite loves. I own fragrances that are high end, designer, niche, indy, celebrity and outright cheapies. Lattafa rocks it out! Amazing company with quality fragrance.
Khamrah is thus far my favorite Middle Eastern perfume- I love the boozy, almost smoky, spicy warm, cozy, slightly sweet… it’s so funny I read so many reviews were people were describing is being so sweet and I don’t really pick up the sweet-it is there but it’s not overwhelming. I pick up the spices and I had to look twice to see if there was a sweet tobacco smoke in it’s composite -
Isn't it?! ❤❤❤ The first time I smelled it I was hooked. I was a little late to the party and when I smelled it, I was like why did I take so long getting it. Winter in Dubai are going to be my Khamrah days ❤❤❤
I finally got Khamrah, and I feel like I shouldn't even tell people about it when they ask, i want to own it 😭. I will always have it. Now I have to try Nebras 😊, thank you ❤
Fakhar has become my favorite summer scent. Its so beautiful. NOT a blinding floral. I do not like Florals typically. Im definitely a gourmand girl. I never pay attention to what Middle Easter fragrances are "duping" its just so good. ❤❤
@@yucarina7698It has a sweetness to it without being a gourmand. If nothing else is smells incredibly fresh without being blinding. It smells like you soaked in a hot spring full of rose petals with a hint of incense in the air.
I would love to see a general Middle Eastern summer fragrance video. Also a video on frangrances you dont like could be fun. Fakhar is my favorite Lattafa, so far. Even when I'm not wearing it, I will stop and smell it. The scent is so uplifting and dreamy.
I know I am super late for the Summer Fragrances. I want to buy the L'aventure set from Al Haramain, which in my opinion are the best for the summer if you like stronger and longer lasting fragrances. I am waiting for my Salary end of the month to buy it LMAO! I agree Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold is one of the most addictive perfumes out there. What a beauty ❤😊
@@SiminShaikh You're not late for summer recommendations. It's the very start of summer in Wisconsin. We even had to turn the heat on, last night. I would love a video comparing the L'aventure fragrances. I'm curious about the rose one (I have the gold bottle). I understand waiting for payday. Inflation has been crazy.
Beautiful hun sometimes I love to re-watching your Videos. ... because it brings me back to your older good perfumes. Hope you fell better❤. Get well soon 🍀🙏. Much greetings ❤.
Hello beautiful Soul ❤...I buy this week Fakhar Rose on Amazon, because you mentioned it in a few of your Videos. Blind buy....and Ilooove it ❤❤. Beautiful and feminine Scent. Thank you ❤. Much greetings from Germany 🥰
Hey gorgeous!!! ❤ You just reminded me to circle back to Fakhar Rose. Its hidden somewhere on the shelf and now I miss it sooooo much ❤❤❤ And I am so happy you liked it coz some people find it mature. I personally think it is a soft feminine ❤ Sooooo much love to you from sunny and hot Dubai xo
Hi simi you're my perfume guru my scent fairy I trust every word you say. I got khamrah and it's my forever repurchase perfume. I recently got fakhar and all I smell is laundry with a bit of a grandma vibe. I have never been disappointed by your suggestions so I think I'll let it macerate for a bit. Hopefully it'll grow on me.
I'm so glad to have discovered your channel. Lately, I've been into middle eastern fragrances and the review channels I've been watching are only two: A Fragrant Glance and Top Notes by Tope. Now there's three and I'm so happy. You're like the Paulina Scharr of middle eastern frags and I do mean that as a compliment. You're both such stunning ladies with such strong and bubbly personalities, it's inspiring. Thank you! 💖
OMG Hun you have made my day! ❤ I love Paulina, and I would always take being compare to her as a compliment. She is such a darling. I absolutely also love A Fragrant Glance. I can relate to all her perfumes description ❤ We have such beautifully talented ladies in the fragrance community. I'm living for it ❤❤❤
I regretted my purchase of Ansaam Gold at first spray. I came back for round 2 and every time I wear it I am more addicted. To me, it’s multicolored powdered marshmallow with a dryer sheet dry down. However strange that is, I’m obsessed. It may be my favorite of all time, even though I was not a fan at first. Truely has me in a chokehold.
Oh how I wish I liked mine. I kept it for over a year till it finally got decluttered. It was that same interesting note in the background that was stopping me from decluttering it. And you are right. It is the dryer sheet comforting smell ❤ I am so happy you are enjoying your my hun ❤❤❤
Thank you for your thorough reviews- I’ve come to love my ME perfumes more than my 3 faves that I’ve worn for 25+ years- My husband is enjoying them too💜
@@SiminShaikh so far Khamrah and Nebras- I also picked up an Oil; Layali Rouge and love it- Fruity soft floral- Tomorrow, I have a haul arriving- I’ll let you know if they are hit or miss- although I love many that are being talked about on TH-cam, I picked some unique and different ones that I haven’t really heard about, but were favorites on Triple Traders
@@SiminShaikh I currently have La Belle original but my next purchase will be the le parfum…they share the same dna but le parfum is more intense. You can’t go wrong with either.
Till now Khamrah remains my absolute fafourite.Had high hopes for Nebras but dont know why it make me slightly nauseous 😢. I am letting it sit for some time n try again later.i really dont want to hate it😅
Just got my bottle of Khamrah and love it. I had to blind buy and hesitated for a long time. Many reviewers were raving about dates and I have no idea how dates are supposed to smell. I was afraid that I was not going to like it. I also read some reviews on Fragrantica which said that this is leaning masculine or a masculine take on Angel's Share. My worst-ever blind buy has been Khashabi (by Lattafa) which to me smelt like some cheap vintage aftershave although most of the reviewers said this was "perfect" unisex. After this disaster, I think a thousand times before blind-buying any fragrance. But Khamrah is amazing: sticky sweet richly oily boozy tonka-beanish :) and resinous. Nothing masculine about it.
Dates smell like caramel and taste strongly of toffee and caramel. I think the "date" note is probably referring to how they taste which is incredibly sweet, gooey, and caramel/toffee. You should taste dates, they are better than any candy and will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Yea, as much as how popular that DNA was, it just got too old too soon. Every other perfume smelling like that just made me sick of it. I absolutely dislike generic perfumes. Unfortunately all the dupes are to blame :(
I am so happy we found each other and I hope your ME Fragrance Journey will be an epic one. Discovering new fragrances and the joy of smelling them for the first time is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world ❤
I love Fakhar ❤ Ameer al Oudh and Oud mood are my other favorites, but I haven't tried a lot from the Lattafa yet. Great review. You've just given me great tips 🙂
Hi :) That Ansaam Gold from Lattafa ... I will check . People say on fragrantica that smell like Raid ( A bug spray killer ) ... This sound bad, but interesting :) You are so beautiful 🌻🌻🌻
Nooooooo Stop! Don't blind buy it. I am not reaching for it at all. It is quite awful. I don't know what it reminds me off, but it is nothing good. I hope this message reaches you in time 😂😂😂
You are so beautiful, your makeup is so classy that I cant help but trust everything you say. This is what they mean when they say presentation matters because you look so classy that it seems like you have good taste which makes it easier to believe what you are saying and trust your taste, you are a stunning lady, keep up the good work
Thank you for your detailed review of I Am White because I have Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition and it suffocates me with the heavy heavy musk… I have avoided all Erba Pura and Kirke type scents because I’m scared of the choking screechy musk… but I crave the fruits in these perfumes🙃. Maybe I’ll try this A White as it is calmer and more fruity ? ❤
Heya Babes! Ooooh no! Then you should not go for Ana Abiyedh. I think you should go for Badee Al Oud Sublime. Thats a beautiful fruity and is unlike Erba Pura and Kirke. I know exactly what you mean by that heady musk feeling ❤
I have the same sentiment about Ansaam gold. I've been trying it again and again at the shop. I didn't like it at first but it grows on me. I like it but there is no desire to own it but when I get home I keep smelling the tester paper.. if you know what I mean😂
Hahahaa I know exactly what you mean! Its some sort of childhood nostalgia that I cant quite put a finger on. However, I no longer feel attracted to it :( I will test it again during cooler months ❤
Hi my love! I love your reviews of fragrances! Could you possibly review opera noir by maison alhambra next?? I hear it’s a dupe for ysl black opium but not sure if it’s a good dupe! Much love 💕
JHaG Pear Ink has a nice pear note in the opening and later it turns into a clean musky scent... at least on my skin. So I suggest getting a sample first 😉
Expected to see at least 1 of the Bade’e al oud. But lovely video, I have 4 out of this list and love them😍 Ps Ansaam gold is a dupe of Oriana not Ldbs they are very similar perfume dnas but not the same
Hello❤ great review, thank you❤ i have the same feelings about my asaam gold, it's like floor cleaning tipe of perfume or perfumed trash bags or something...😁 It smells good, but i don't know if i want to wear it on my me 😀
Fakhar lattafa is really pretty. Fruity white floral. Affordable also. I Love Kamrah. Glad I purchased it. Smells like a boozy Apple pie or Apple turnover.with cinnamon. My favourite So far. I am also enjoying Nebras. Very similar to Eilish yes. A Dupe. Great winter scent . Layered it with Vanilla 28. Very nice.
Hey my Hun! ❤ Sure thing! Below are all unisex, long lasting with strong sillage. 1. Lattafa Ishq Al Shuyukh 2. Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory 3. Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco 4. Shaghaf Oud and Shaghaf Oud aswad 5. Khadlaj - Intoxicate
You look gorgeous Simin! Now that I have Ansaam Gold I can tell you that it smells like an old anti-bacterial liquid soap that was in the bathrooms of many petrol stations/fast food restaurants/national parks/campsites and public toilets of the US, South America and New Zealand! It was a pink liquid that smelt exactly like Ansaam Gold! It also smells a bit like an old school soap detergent that my mother would use on cleaning rags and such... I'm so heartbroken, I honestly don't see how this could become a nice perfume because right now it smells so bad :(
@@chaca500 For me , its an all year scent . But this is not a light scent . Its strong and i like it because people around me can smell it and even i can smell myself for long time . Very classy & matured scent . If i have to recommend one good perfume from lattafa specially for ladies that will be Fakhar rose . Its not a daytime light scent or nighttime sexy scent . It sits well inbetween. I can imagine a classy , sophisticated, beautiful Woman wearing it . ❤️
@@rachelbegmusic Thank you for your response, it definitely sounds like something up my alley. I've had it in my watchlist for a while but warm weather doesn't last for long in the Highlands so I've been reluctant to purchase it.
Oh Fakhar Rose Gold like my ride or die for life! ❤️❤️❤️ I cant believe that a beautiful perfume like that exists and that price! Stunning is an understatement!
Just bought Khamrah and was disappointed. It was so abrasive and musky. Then I sprayed it in the air and walked through it. I never had so many compliments. People love it. I think it needs to mascerate. What are your thoughts on applying Middle Eastern vs Designer perfumes? How do you apply oils? Do you experience the need to mascerate certain scents? Enjoying your channel
Hey my Hun ❤ - I expect many people not to enjoy Khamrah because the opening can be very abrasive when not fully macerated. I think Lattafa has been pumping production fir Khamrah due to its popularity. - To be honest, I do not put too much thought into the application process. I just overspray just about all my perfumes. By the time I rach my office, the perfume reached a point where it is supposed to be. I mostly spray one or two prays on myself and the rest on my clothes. - I barely use oils. I think it is so time consuming and I do not like the medium as it can stain the skin and clothes and might even cause an allergy due to its potency. I did however try and mix oil with my lotion and it feel very nice for layering. It stays much longer as well. But I do not dump the entire oil bottle into my lotion. Just add a few drops to the amount of lotion I am planning to use. - Most of the fragrances I get are not fully matured. So I do leave them in a dark cool place for a month or two. It is not uncommon for economical brands to send out perfumes that are not fully macerated ❤ Phew! I just gave an essay answer for you to stay busy 😂😂😂
Nebras reminds me of La Vie est Belle. They are not identical just distant cousins. I like it but I have a 6 oz bottle of LVEB 😅. I’ll be good for a while
Nice review as always, Paris corner emir line has clones of creed called opulentia, they cloned aventus, silver Mountain water, millisime imperial and vikings. Could you please review some of them and compare them with existing clones from other houses?
Heya ❤ Thank you so much for that :) I most definitely will. I finally found a page that has them at good prices. Amazon is mostly sold out or is overpriced.
True , Ansam gold smells like dettol rose handwash😂, when i sprayed it ,i was like ,i know this smell ,what is it and then it hit me, its good i like it, but cannot take that handwash out of my mind
I am on the fence with Ansaam Gold. I am so happy with your review. I don't want to get all wrapped up in hype and then be disappointed. Ansaam Gold's price is higher because of all the hype. I bought Precious Gold and it is horrible and smells nothing like the reviews. Thanks Sim for your honesty!
Hey my Hun ❤ I really wish decants or samples were available to everyone by brands. It would make purchases so much easier right? I have not yet decluttered Ansaam. I all honesty I doubt I will like it, but also was trying to understand the hype and was like "is something wrong with me". But then so many people enjoy it as well. Personally I dont like perfumes that smell like cleaning products or detergent, but I am hoping this one will macerate and get better especially because I paid a pretty penny for it 😂😂😂
yes i want too try all of lattafa i have the lucky number 7bottles and would for you to do a full lattafa collection your so knowledgeable and beautiful ty for the great content you... bring❤❤❤😊😊😊
Just discoveres you and middle eastern perfumes...thank you for your videos, so good for beginners! What fragrance would you recommend for a sweet chocolate, cakey warm gourmand perfume? Im thinking to get Nebras but unsure if thats it!
Heyaaaaa! and welcome to the middle eastern perfume world! In this case Nebras and only Nebras!! The best choclate perfume out there. If you want a pure chocolate though, try and get Al Rehab's Choco Musk ❤ ❤ ❤
Heya my Hun! ❤ That ring is a custom made ring. The stone is a "Aqeeq" also known as Agate in English. The ring was made by a local shop in Dubai. Most of my purchases are from amazon or local online stores babe.
I highly suggest u to buy Infini rose asap. Its really very nice rose fragrance. Alhambra might discontinue so ... Buy this on priority basis😂😂 Love u dear nd take care ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 😘
Heya hun! I just bought the Badee Al Oud Amethyst. Is it still worth buying Infini Rose if I have that one? I think the review for Badee Al Oud is coming tomorrow on my channel. Do lemme know coz I really trust your choices ❤️❤️❤️ Much love xx
@@SiminShaikh ya I also HV Amethyst but definitely Infini rose is totally different smell. Worth having both. Amethyst is very rubber type artificial rose sweet smell. But Infini rose is really fresh rose with lemon type smell. U should get Infini rose for sure. Hope this helps.
Hi pretty..i am from indonesiann people..i always follow ur video if want blind buy in online shop 🤣..and i get many parfume lattafa now..from ajwad, la vita belle intensa, ameerat al arab red, prive rose, shiaka for women , and fyi aromatic rouge same like armand basi in red hahahhaa..and top best my fav 2023
Your recommendations have helped me build my own little but varied collection of oud fragrances. I enjoy your videos and you give very detailed descriptions. Lol on Ansaam Gold! You just about hated it at first! That was my first Arabic fragrance and I was in love.
Same!!! Someone in the comment mentioned an orange Lux soap. I am going to try and find that soap, because Ansaam is making me very uneasy. I need to find what it smells like.
Watching from Philippines! Just curious of these viral frags, love watching reviews and hoping to have at least 2 in the future. I love fresh scents and those a little mature and boss lady perfumes. Any recos?
Not that I know of my hun ❤ But I am planning getting the sample pack for Kilian so I can be more thorough. Kindly bear with me till I do. Much love to you xo
Hello Simin, I hope you are doing well :) thank you for this video! I'm curious about the summer perfumes because I'm in the process of looking for one. A middle eastern summer perfumes video would be great! Kisses from France
Heya Hun! I need to give priority to the Summer Video. The thing is, I wanna buy this set from Al Haramain, which I can only do when I get my Salary end of the month. Because those are proper summer favs for me. Much love to you from Dubai my hun xoxo
@@SiminShaikh Oh okay then no worries! Take the time you need I'm not in a hurry at all and I'll be happy to know you're doing things on your own time! Much love
I really need to get my hands on Oriana and Love dont be shy decants. Because many perfumes are claiming to dupe them but I wanna test them first hand. I will try and get them this month babe ❤
Hi dear I really loved ur video .. I’m glad I found it . I wanna blind buy lattafa but don knw wr to start . I like long lasting and floral perfumes like pure poison . Plz suggest
Ana Abiyedh is a fantastic smelling frag. I wish I would get better performance from it. I bump it with the long-lasting Lattafa (can) perfume and its companion Lattafa CPO, and it does great.
Hallo, ich stimme zu, ich mag „Good Girl“ von Carolina nicht, aber „Qimmah“ ist ein Duplikat, aber irgendwie besser für mich. Alles Liebe für Dich, mein Freund ❤
@@SiminShaikh I was living in Florida, USA at the time. It’s summer all year long there and hot. Those dates in praline were too much. Now that the weather is cooling down where , I’m ready to try oud fragrances.
Just so you know, with Middle Eastern fragrances, you really need to let them sit and macerate for a couple of weeks to settle before you wear them. Also, clear out the atomizer with 8-10 sprays to clear it out.

I'm glad that you changed your mind about Ana Abiyedh. I remembered when you first reviewed it and said you wouldn't repurchase.
Yea, as much as how popular that DNA was, it just got too old too soon. Every other perfume smelling like that just made me sick of it. I absolutely dislike generic perfumes. Unfortunately all the dupes are to blame :(
So glad I came across your channel. Thank you for the recommendations. I ordered 2of them.
I am so happy we found each other and I hope your ME Fragrance Journey will be an epic one. Discovering new fragrances and the joy of smelling them for the first time is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world ❤
I love your rose series, can you please do a jasmine series.
I love Fakhar ❤
Ameer al Oudh and Oud mood are my other favorites, but I haven't tried a lot from the Lattafa yet. Great review. You've just given me great tips 🙂
Ooooh finally someone who appreciates Oud! Lattafa oldies like Badee Al Oud "Oud for Glory" is wonderful to try (non Barnyard dry Oud) ❤😊
Oud mood is classy
Just found your channel after discovery Arab perfumes recently and it’s everything I wanted a more ❤❤
So many mixed reviews on Ansam Gold that I'm torn. I have ordered to test for myself - hopefully I wont be disappointed!
Hi :) That Ansaam Gold from Lattafa ... I will check . People say on fragrantica that smell like Raid ( A bug spray killer ) ... This sound bad, but interesting :) You are so beautiful 🌻🌻🌻
Nooooooo Stop! Don't blind buy it. I am not reaching for it at all. It is quite awful. I don't know what it reminds me off, but it is nothing good. I hope this message reaches you in time 😂😂😂
@@SiminShaikh :)) I will stop ! Thank you ! 🥰
Wow, just found your channel, and im literally blown away from your beautiful energy👌🤌🫶
Oh babe ❤ You are so kind. I hope to keep you entertained with my content ❤ Much love to you xx
You are so beautiful, your makeup is so classy that I cant help but trust everything you say. This is what they mean when they say presentation matters because you look so classy that it seems like you have good taste which makes it easier to believe what you are saying and trust your taste, you are a stunning lady, keep up the good work
There's something so emotional for me about Nebras 😄 I'm not sure why but it gives me warm fuzzies
Its the warmth right? Almost nostalgic. It just puts a smile on my face too ❤❤❤
yes, very warm. but also minty to my nose! It smells like an Andes Mint chocolate candy
To me, d opening of Ramz gold is sharp but d dry down is quite pleasant. Will allow it macerate n see.
I absolutely agree! The opening might throw some people off. To me it was super weird, like a new fruit I discovered lol.
Anna Abbiyedh is an amazing pick. I'm a big fan of musk and AA does justice to this scent like anything! ❤
It's the most underrated perfume!
I absolutely agree with you. I will bring it back on my channel and give it the screentime it deserves ❤
@@SiminShaikh, I trust you with that!
Thank you for your detailed review of I Am White because I have Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition and it suffocates me with the heavy heavy musk… I have avoided all Erba Pura and Kirke type scents because I’m scared of the choking screechy musk… but I crave the fruits in these perfumes🙃. Maybe I’ll try this A White as it is calmer and more fruity ? ❤
Heya Babes! Ooooh no! Then you should not go for Ana Abiyedh. I think you should go for Badee Al Oud Sublime. Thats a beautiful fruity and is unlike Erba Pura and Kirke. I know exactly what you mean by that heady musk feeling ❤
@@SiminShaikh thank you so much!
I have the same sentiment about Ansaam gold. I've been trying it again and again at the shop. I didn't like it at first but it grows on me. I like it but there is no desire to own it but when I get home I keep smelling the tester paper.. if you know what I mean😂
Hahahaa I know exactly what you mean! Its some sort of childhood nostalgia that I cant quite put a finger on. However, I no longer feel attracted to it :( I will test it again during cooler months ❤
You made me blind buy The rose gold fakhar! I love it so much, so so beautiful! Subscribed.
does the fakhar rose have a bubblegumish smell??
Hi my love! I love your reviews of fragrances! Could you possibly review opera noir by maison alhambra next?? I hear it’s a dupe for ysl black opium but not sure if it’s a good dupe!
Much love 💕
JHaG Pear Ink has a nice pear note in the opening and later it turns into a clean musky scent... at least on my skin. So I suggest getting a sample first 😉
Oh noooo Musk lol. I will get a sample first for sure then 😉
Just came across your channel and I already love it! Great reviews ❤️
All middle eastern would be fantastic! ❤️
Thank hun ❤️❤️❤️ I will try and get other brands after my next salary. Maybe Al Haramain and Armafs
Time to go perfume shopping!!!!😊
Hehehe Yayyy! 😊❤ I think I should do some store visits on my channel. What do you think? :D
Expected to see at least 1 of the Bade’e al oud.
But lovely video, I have 4 out of this list and love them😍
Ps Ansaam gold is a dupe of Oriana not Ldbs they are very similar perfume dnas but not the same
Heyaaaa!
You are absolutely right. So basically I didn't own the Badee Al Ouds when I made this video. Hehe. Time to make a new one I feel
Adore you!!!!!!! I ALWAYS trust your opinion Simin
What a pretty Abaya. You need to show me the masculine ones at home please 🙃
Babe! The ones on the right are all men or unisex lol.
Hello❤ great review, thank you❤ i have the same feelings about my asaam gold, it's like floor cleaning tipe of perfume or perfumed trash bags or something...😁 It smells good, but i don't know if i want to wear it on my me 😀
Lovely presentation all these perfumes are so so lovely & not breaking bank and smells very expensive 😜💕
Fakhar lattafa is really pretty. Fruity white floral. Affordable also. I Love Kamrah. Glad I purchased it. Smells like a boozy Apple pie or Apple turnover.with cinnamon. My favourite So far. I am also enjoying Nebras. Very similar to Eilish yes. A Dupe. Great winter scent . Layered it with Vanilla 28. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing the layering idea babe! You just named all my favs! So happy to have tried and loved these 0perfumes by Lattafa ❤❤❤
I just can sit here listening to you talking and I laughed at cinnamonny nutmeggy etc! Yes yes it’s a word for me you can continue 😆😆😆
Hahahaha right? You know when I film, the brain just spews out words to describe the perfumes. In about 2 years I will have my very own dictionary 😆😆😆
Thank you for this video. Loooove it , I will order ana abiyedh because i love fruity perfume
Heya babe! The best 3 Fruity Lattafas for me are
1. Badee Al Oud Sublime
2. Ramz Gold
3. Ana Abiyedh, original
@@SiminShaikh thaaaaannnk you, order them asap. Sublime and the 2 New shaghafs Arent available yet in Germany. Loveeee your videos
I love your descriptions. I may try some of those because your descriptions make me want them.
Dear Simin, could you please suggest me 5 Middle Eastern long lasting perfumes with strong sillage for man and for women as well?
Hey my Hun! ❤
Sure thing! Below are all unisex, long lasting with strong sillage.
1. Lattafa Ishq Al Shuyukh
2. Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory
3. Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco
4. Shaghaf Oud and Shaghaf Oud aswad
5. Khadlaj - Intoxicate
@@SiminShaikh Thanks for your answer
You look gorgeous Simin! Now that I have Ansaam Gold I can tell you that it smells like an old anti-bacterial liquid soap that was in the bathrooms of many petrol stations/fast food restaurants/national parks/campsites and public toilets of the US, South America and New Zealand! It was a pink liquid that smelt exactly like Ansaam Gold! It also smells a bit like an old school soap detergent that my mother would use on cleaning rags and such... I'm so heartbroken, I honestly don't see how this could become a nice perfume because right now it smells so bad :(
Maybe it needs time to macerate.
I have Fakhar rose gold🌹 . Its so classy fragrance. The best blind buy middle eastern perfume for me . Its a beautiful floral sweet classy perfume . ❤
I'm so curious about it now. Is it suitable to wear all season or just during the warmer months, do you think?
@@chaca500 For me , its an all year scent . But this is not a light scent . Its strong and i like it because people around me can smell it and even i can smell myself for long time . Very classy & matured scent .
If i have to recommend one good perfume from lattafa specially for ladies that will be Fakhar rose . Its not a daytime light scent or nighttime sexy scent .
It sits well inbetween. I can imagine a classy , sophisticated, beautiful Woman wearing it . ❤️
@@rachelbegmusic Thank you for your response, it definitely sounds like something up my alley. I've had it in my watchlist for a while but warm weather doesn't last for long in the Highlands so I've been reluctant to purchase it.
Oh Fakhar Rose Gold like my ride or die for life! ❤️❤️❤️ I cant believe that a beautiful perfume like that exists and that price! Stunning is an understatement!
@@SiminShaikh I agree 💯☺️
Just bought Khamrah and was disappointed. It was so abrasive and musky. Then I sprayed it in the air and walked through it. I never had so many compliments. People love it. I think it needs to mascerate.
What are your thoughts on applying Middle Eastern vs Designer perfumes? How do you apply oils? Do you experience the need to mascerate certain scents?
Enjoying your channel
Hey my Hun ❤
- I expect many people not to enjoy Khamrah because the opening can be very abrasive when not fully macerated.
I think Lattafa has been pumping production fir Khamrah due to its popularity.
- To be honest, I do not put too much thought into the application process. I just overspray just about all my perfumes. By the time I rach my office, the perfume reached a point where it is supposed to be. I mostly spray one or two prays on myself and the rest on my clothes.
- I barely use oils. I think it is so time consuming and I do not like the medium as it can stain the skin and clothes and might even cause an allergy due to its potency. I did however try and mix oil with my lotion and it feel very nice for layering. It stays much longer as well. But I do not dump the entire oil bottle into my lotion. Just add a few drops to the amount of lotion I am planning to use.
- Most of the fragrances I get are not fully matured. So I do leave them in a dark cool place for a month or two. It is not uncommon for economical brands to send out perfumes that are not fully macerated ❤
Phew! I just gave an essay answer for you to stay busy 😂😂😂
Nebras reminds me of La Vie est Belle. They are not identical just distant cousins. I like it but I have a 6 oz bottle of LVEB 😅. I’ll be good for a while
Heya hun! You think so. Maybe I need to put my nose on LVEB again. I never felt attracted enough to purchase it but maybe a 30ml wont hurt hehehe ❤❤❤
Nice review as always, Paris corner emir line has clones of creed called opulentia, they cloned aventus, silver Mountain water, millisime imperial and vikings. Could you please review some of them and compare them with existing clones from other houses?
Heya ❤
Thank you so much for that :)
I most definitely will. I finally found a page that has them at good prices. Amazon is mostly sold out or is overpriced.
@@SiminShaikh looking forward to the reviews
True , Ansam gold smells like dettol rose handwash😂, when i sprayed it ,i was like ,i know this smell ,what is it and then it hit me, its good i like it, but cannot take that handwash out of my mind
I am on the fence with Ansaam Gold. I am so happy with your review. I don't want to get all wrapped up in hype and then be disappointed. Ansaam Gold's price is higher because of all the hype. I bought Precious Gold and it is horrible and smells nothing like the reviews. Thanks Sim for your honesty!
You need to stick with your favorite notes. Some of my favorite notes are powdery and floral. Sometimes I like vanilla notes during the winter. 😊
Hey my Hun ❤
I really wish decants or samples were available to everyone by brands. It would make purchases so much easier right? I have not yet decluttered Ansaam. I all honesty I doubt I will like it, but also was trying to understand the hype and was like "is something wrong with me". But then so many people enjoy it as well. Personally I dont like perfumes that smell like cleaning products or detergent, but I am hoping this one will macerate and get better especially because I paid a pretty penny for it 😂😂😂
Nebras gold or December vanilla which one will you recommend, i am only looking for projection.
Khamrah is not a dupe for Angel's Share.
It's a dupe for Date's Delight by The House Of Oud. 💗
yes i want too try all of lattafa i have the lucky number 7bottles and would for you to do a full lattafa collection your so knowledgeable and beautiful ty for the great content you... bring❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hehehe Lucky number 7. I love that! I can make a video for all Lattafas but describing in three words. What do you think? ❤😊
Just discoveres you and middle eastern perfumes...thank you for your videos, so good for beginners!
What fragrance would you recommend for a sweet chocolate, cakey warm gourmand perfume? Im thinking to get Nebras but unsure if thats it!
Heyaaaaa!
and welcome to the middle eastern perfume world!
In this case Nebras and only Nebras!! The best choclate perfume out there. If you want a pure chocolate though, try and get Al Rehab's Choco Musk ❤ ❤ ❤
I love your black ring where did you purchase it and where can I purchase some of these purchase I live in the United states north Carolina
Heya my Hun! ❤
That ring is a custom made ring. The stone is a "Aqeeq" also known as Agate in English. The ring was made by a local shop in Dubai.
Most of my purchases are from amazon or local online stores babe.
I highly suggest u to buy Infini rose asap. Its really very nice rose fragrance. Alhambra might discontinue so ... Buy this on priority basis😂😂 Love u dear nd take care ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 😘
I absolutely love Infini Rose. One of the best
@@magdalenadetoffol6406 ya I agree 💯
Heya hun! I just bought the Badee Al Oud Amethyst. Is it still worth buying Infini Rose if I have that one? I think the review for Badee Al Oud is coming tomorrow on my channel. Do lemme know coz I really trust your choices ❤️❤️❤️ Much love xx
@@SiminShaikh I have both of them and they are very different. I don’t know why people say that both of them are dupes for Initios Atomic Rose.
@@SiminShaikh ya I also HV Amethyst but definitely Infini rose is totally different smell. Worth having both. Amethyst is very rubber type artificial rose sweet smell. But Infini rose is really fresh rose with lemon type smell. U should get Infini rose for sure. Hope this helps.
Can you list the names of all the ones you mentioned in the order you mentioned it?
I had to let my Ramz Gold macerate. Now I can smell the fruit in it. I overspray Fakhar!
Does it smell like pineapple 🍍 ?
Luckily mine came macerated. First I thought it was super weird but I did not know what to think of it. Now I absolutely adore it!
It smells like a ton of fruits, but yes it does have the pineapple smell
Exactly,I. let it sit for a good month for me, and 8-10 sprays to clear out the atomizer
Hi pretty..i am from indonesiann people..i always follow ur video if want blind buy in online shop 🤣..and i get many parfume lattafa now..from ajwad, la vita belle intensa, ameerat al arab red, prive rose, shiaka for women , and fyi aromatic rouge same like armand basi in red hahahhaa..and top best my fav 2023
Heya gorgeous!
Oh nooooo I dont have a few of these. So you recommend I should get Aromatic Rouge? Pls do let me know hun ❤
Your recommendations have helped me build my own little but varied collection of oud fragrances. I enjoy your videos and you give very detailed descriptions. Lol on Ansaam Gold! You just about hated it at first! That was my first Arabic fragrance and I was in love.
Layer Ansaam gold with Honor & Glory and thank me later. Both perfumes are by lattafa
I also find Ansaam soapy. And am also not sure what I feel about it 😅
Same!!! Someone in the comment mentioned an orange Lux soap. I am going to try and find that soap, because Ansaam is making me very uneasy. I need to find what it smells like.
Watching from Philippines! Just curious of these viral frags, love watching reviews and hoping to have at least 2 in the future. I love fresh scents and those a little mature and boss lady perfumes. Any recos?
Ana abiyedh white and fakhar
Lovely videos, thank you:) Do you have any idea which perfume is the most simillar to perfume Playing with the devil by Kilian ?
Not that I know of my hun ❤ But I am planning getting the sample pack for Kilian so I can be more thorough. Kindly bear with me till I do. Much love to you xo
@@SiminShaikh Thank you I will 🪻
Carolin soap, the white one with Marseille soap in...
Love don't be shy I mean...
You are so beautiful and I want all the perfumes!!!!
Hello gorgeous! I wish the universe sends you all the beautiful perfumes in the world fit for a Queen that you are!
Ansaam Gold is on my list to buy! How do you like it?
Hello Simin, I hope you are doing well :) thank you for this video! I'm curious about the summer perfumes because I'm in the process of looking for one. A middle eastern summer perfumes video would be great! Kisses from France
Heya Hun! I need to give priority to the Summer Video. The thing is, I wanna buy this set from Al Haramain, which I can only do when I get my Salary end of the month. Because those are proper summer favs for me. Much love to you from Dubai my hun xoxo
@@SiminShaikh Oh okay then no worries! Take the time you need I'm not in a hurry at all and I'll be happy to know you're doing things on your own time! Much love
Hello this is Steph from Brooklyn New subbie here 💗
You are so pretty I can’t even take it
I know she looks like a doll 🥹
New subscriber here! Have you tried the Khamrah Qahwa yet?? It’s HEAVENLY!!!! Love this video ❤
Is it more masculine or feminine?
Nebras is sooooo underrated. Kinda hard to get it in my country
I know right?! Not many people talk about it but it is still sold out lol. I wonder if Lattafa is gatekeeping it to keep the prices high 😂😂😂
Wow everybody talking bad about ansaam gold in these comments😢.. I really really want it because apparently it's similar to oriana
I really need to get my hands on Oriana and Love dont be shy decants. Because many perfumes are claiming to dupe them but I wanna test them first hand. I will try and get them this month babe ❤
Get Reyna by Maison Alhambra instead. It’s a more similar to Oriana
@@millionaire9122 how long does it last and project,
Hi dear I really loved ur video .. I’m glad I found it . I wanna blind buy lattafa but don knw wr to start . I like long lasting and floral perfumes like pure poison . Plz suggest
its a shame they don't ship these perfumes to Canada
Nooooooo! That is a shame indeed. Not even on Amazon? :(
Can you please suggest perfume for people with sensitive nose, I have maigrain and sinus, people like me would love it
Ana Abiyedh is a fantastic smelling frag. I wish I would get better performance from it. I bump it with the long-lasting Lattafa (can) perfume and its companion Lattafa CPO, and it does great.
Oooooh thanks for the tip hun! I cant wait to try it your way ♥️
Which libre would you recommend? ❤
Without a doubt Libre Intense for me ❤
@SiminShaikh thank you beautiful 🫶💖🥰
Hallo. Ich finde Qimmah total schön. ❤
Hallo, ich stimme zu, ich mag „Good Girl“ von Carolina nicht, aber „Qimmah“ ist ein Duplikat, aber irgendwie besser für mich. Alles Liebe für Dich, mein Freund ❤
Hello....can you plz recommend lattafa perfume for summer and winter?
Soooo many I want to try 😂❤
I know right?! My bank account is holding on for dear life 😂
How long does ramz gold last
I bought kamrah and found it too sweet and cloying
Heya Hun!
I have not touched Khamrah all summer long. It is best worn in cold weather. Otherwise it will be super cloying
@@SiminShaikh I was living in Florida, USA at the time. It’s summer all year long there and hot. Those dates in praline were too much. Now that the weather is cooling down where , I’m ready to try oud fragrances.
Which one do you prefer the most Ansam gold or Badee al Oud Sublime the red one?
Hands down Bade'e Al Oud Sublime. Ansaam is still a "maybe" for me ❤
I would love links to buy!
Heya Hun! ❤ I am on it along with time stamps ❤❤❤
Which Khamrah do you prefer between the original one and the Khamrah Qahwah?
Lattafa please.❤❤
Hehehee okies hun ❤❤❤ Noted ❤
Where can I buy lattafa perfumes wholesale prices in bulk?
