I use fragrance oils to make more concentrated sprays by combining them with an EDT or EDC in a decant bottle, usually of 10ml or 20ml.. But I have 2 oils that I love wearing without "editing" them : Al Haramain - Mashkhor (flowery, spicy amond) and Swiss Arabian - Attar Mubakhar (leathery, smoky, smooth oud)
That's such a great tip!! I will pin your comment so other people can see it and it might inspire them to try that! 💕 Thank you for your recommendations, I will look them up 😊 now I wanna try mixing them as well haha
@@AFragrantGlance be sure to put 35% or more the edt or the edc, else it will spray like a balsamic vinegar (with a linear burst instead of a mist) :)))
Swiss Arabian Hayaa is beautiful - it’s amber Rose white flowers with musk and oud - I blind bought it and it was love at first opening Thank you for the advice on how to apply
I use mine on my wrists, behind my ears, and around the base of my neck. I find swiping them on with the stick lasts longer than the plastic roller for some of them. Abu Zari’s Oud Yamaguchi got me compliments at work, but I prefer his Oud Zanzibar.
I also prefer the stick insted of the roller ball, I find the stick more luxurious and it's almost like a ritual when you apply it! ❤ I've never heard of the brand but I just looked it up and it has some very interesting offers with great presentation! Thank you for watching 🤗
Wow! What a great video! I'll definitely going to do that! I have ASALA, by Asgharali. Is a super floral, super powerful attar. I never put on my hair. I'll do it today. My husband will love it! 💗 Thanks for the tips! 😊
I'm happy I could help! 🤗Fragrance oils in my hair usually lasts for entire days and whenever I more I get beautiful wafts of the scent. Let me know how that works for you! Thank you so much for watching and for your support ❤️❤️
Even also u should buy al haramain forever, million , dhahab they r excellent as well .. Specially get the million one , comes in 15ml bottle cost arround $10 or may be less
Try Maison Anthony Marmin, used to be called Maison Abdul Karim Al Faransi. He blends the most amazing attars. My favourite is Nedjma. Try Arabian Oud, kalemat. But any Kalemat smells delicious and comforting. I love Sultan by Arabian Oud but you might find it too masculin. Abdul Samad Al Quraichi is also a great house. Safari extrême and cedar of Libanon are lovely.
Thank you for all your recommendations, I've added them to my "to try list" 😊 Abdul Samad al Qurashi has ben on my wishlist for the longest time but unfortunatelly I can't find them locally to try their fragrances. Thank you for watching ❤
Great review, thanks for the tips, I’m starting to explore middle eastern fragrances and I blind bought most under your recommendations. They’re good..i’ll review them soon ❤️😘
@@RobertLaTuso I don't have many pure oud oils in my collection, but for start you could try some of Swiss Arabian's oils or Al Haramain's oils, they have great quality and you can find them easily (if you live in Europe check out Notino). If you travel to the Middle East look for an Ajmal store, Ajmal has oud oils as well😊
I started using parfum in my hair a few months ago and that is how I test intensity, duration and projection. I do not have that many oils (we need to readdress this lack ;) but of the few that I have are as follows: the more therapeutic are (in no order) a) Nag Champa, b) frankincense c) anti stress activator from a Just Laboratory (Argentina but Swiss inspired; use at night to sleep or if you need to be awake or just feel something zen :) From the fragrants: l'air du desert marocain by Andy Tauer (decanted into a roller ball bottle and superb companion to a peaceful 🚶♂️ hike), Poésie brand (Innocence, Versailles, and Madar -très gourmand) and finally Esraa from Rasasi (floral beauty and people loved it). I want the one with name Mecca something that you forgot but I guess fragance #5 from Swiss Arabian would do ;) such a lovely platform, much welcomed. Have a pretty morning or evening.
What a great collection you have here! ❤️ When I want to feel relaxed I use patchouli essential oil, it's so grounding I love it, makes me very calm. I'd love to give you a website where you could purchase that fragrance oil, but I have no idea where he got it from. But as a reference look for something very dry, woody with animalic musk and cinnamon. I'm happy you feel welcomed here dear! Thank you so much for your support 🤗 Have a great day as well!
Try Sunnamusk London’s Youth Spirit- and Egyptian Musk perfume oils - I have them, wearing them either individually or together, and they both smell like you want to bang your head against a wall repeatedly kind of good 🙈 Sunnamusk London is an Arabic perfume brand, offering both perfumes and perfume oils, originally based in London, now with multiple stores in the city. But has now expanded to multiple stores in the UK, as well as internationally, but only Sweden (Stockholm, where I’m from), France, Scotland, and the Netherlands. With the Swedish, French, and Dutch, it’s at the Westfield shopping centers, just like the two in London. Hopefully they sell internationally from their website, for those who don’t have access to a store🤞🏻
Thank you for watching Deborah🌹❤️ I haven't tried this oil but I'm glad to hear it's working so well for you, do you use it on its own or do you layer it with other fragrances? 💫
Okay, so I ordered a fragrance oil called Jannet el Firdaus by Swiss Arabian and ohhhh my goodness it smells BEAUTIFUL! It's the first and only attar that I have at the moment and I absolutely love it. I have several Arabian eau de parfum, but i definitely want to give more fragrance oils a try.
Thank you for watching dear! ❤️ Someone recommended this oil to me as well if I remember correctly but unfortunately I can't find it locally. I have some oils from Swiss Arabians that I want to test as well 🌟
Thank you so much for your recommendations gorgeous! ❤️❤️ I will think about a way to explain how I do it cause for small eyes it's a different technique that works really well 🤗
I have an oud ul Hind organic 24ml in a glass bottle 40 years old. Once Indian friend of mine father gave him a gift at Doha Qatar since in 1983. Very rare wild animalic... I really don't know how much that oud older. It's smell like pure mature old tree middle part. Very pure.... Oud is my all time favourite Than I like attar MAHBOOB. Than tobacco, musk, coffee, chocolate lavender fragrances in concentrated as well as organic oils.
Thank you for watching❤️ Ohh what a beautiful and precious gift. I never got the chance to smell something like this but I am sure it's very special and it smells amazing🌟 I enjoy tobacco, coffee and chocolate in fragrances as well
@@AFragrantGlance Thanks for the awesome reply..... I have the organic oud oil smell like pure middle dark piece of wood. It's smell feeling like fresh cutted wood by axe in middle of wood in snowing rainy day. When somebody puts that wood piece in fire the pure smell of wet burning wood of middle smell.....like that. Hope u get the feeling of my oud.
Golden Sand is on my to try list as well! ❤️ How is the scent? Do you enjoy it? From the notes looks like it would layer amazing with other gourmand fragrances
@@AFragrantGlance no problem, i love your videos! about the oils from nabeel, i'm not getting any of them anytime soon as i'm trying to limit my frag bottle count, lol! But i do have a few in my shopping cart for when i'm ready to checkout. Not sure if these are your taste tbh, perhaps the ones from Swiss Arabian, but just for your information anyway: From Nabeel: Nabeel (flagship. yellow-ish juice in a thin bottle with star engravings. looks like it's a sweet-floral-woody scent), Al-Ghadeer (seems like a citrus-floral-woody scent. no idea how to describe this bottle, lol. Looks orange and has little green bling-blings around it), and Nasaem (aldehydic-floral-sandalwood? it's a thin, kinda curvy gold bottle). From Swiss Arabian: Dehn El Oud Mubarak (leathery-oud, possibly sweet. It just sounds like it could smell rich. Might be to your preference) and Noora (floral-sweet/creamy-saffron-sandalwood)
Hi L, this was lovely and so in depth, are you familiar with makhmaria? Do you use them? And if so, would love to see a video on some of your favourites xxx
You should try Sama by Al haramain. I also recommend lak by Al haramain the oil or perfume. It's divine . If only you can do a review on lak perfume I will really love it.
Hello, I wish I knew your name. Anyway, I store my oils in a cigar box and it's full of fragrance oils from Abdul Karim Al Faransi. One of my favs is his Mukhallat di Corleone, along with soooo many others of his. I apply them just as you do. And I have just a regular box where I keep other brands that I've purchased from other vendors such Universal, Oil Perfumery, etc. One problem I have is that I live in a very hot & humid S. Texas. Second problem is that there are some oils that are too thick and I do NOT like the stickiness of the oil left on my skin. Any recommendations on how to avoid the "stickiness" .... like how would I thin down the oil without removing the fragrance? Nonetheless...I am so glad I found your channel. Seems we have the same tastes in fragrances. I love very bold, incense, spicy, Middle Eastern fragrances. This fall I will purchase a bakhoor burner and incense. Thank you~ Becca.
Hi Becca and welcome, my name is Loredana ❤ I would say that it's hard to dilute the oil without changing the performance of the oil. You could dillute them with with "carrier oils" I think they're called in the cosmetic industry (usually oils that have a very neutral scent profile, like almond oil) but I don't think it would help. With those sticky oils you could try to lightly massage them in your skin. Apply them to your pulse point/ everywhere you want and try to lightly massage the oil into the skin, this way you'll loose the sticky factor but the scent and the performance won't change that much. Ohh I love a good spicy incense fragrance 🥰
Thank you for watching ❤ I am happy to hear you're enjoying my videos. Never tried any oils from Swiss Arabian, will look these up thank your for the recommendation 🌟
Hello, please try al rehab sultan oud, oud rose the quality is very good, long lasting powerfull . I like al rehab nebras, al rehab classic al rehab balkis al rehab choco musk. Think you
Thank you for watching dear! ❤🤗From Al Rehab I've tried so far Golden Sand, Choco Musk and Dalal which I enjoy a lot, I will look up your recommendations as well 🌟
I picked up a perfume oil Musk Silk Perfume oil by Ajmal Pure White Musk. Have you heard of this one before? I ordered it for layering with my other perfumes. 🥰🤗
Haven't heard of it, how do you feel about it? 🥳 Here in Romania I haven't seen any Ajmal oils online, just their perfumes. Thank you for watching dear 🤗🌹❤
I was cleaning out my closet today and found a really old bottle of lavender fragrance oil. The label was turning yellow with age and had a lot of French words, and the only thing I understood on the bottle was “lavender” and in English on the bottom of the label it said made in France. If I get sick using it, that’s gonna suck
Ahaha sick I don't think, at most some skin rashes but most likely as long as the scent hasn't changed (even though the color did) it's still safe and good to use 🎊
Thank you for watching!! 🤗 This depends where are you from. Try to look it up on websites that sell middle eastern fragrances, or even contact the sellers and ask them if they can bring it from their suppliers. Hope it helpes!
Finally, after a recent Lanvin Vintage purchase (which I am insane about) it spilled during mailing but I used wet box (original box grrr!) As a sachet for lingerie drawer. Will hunt down another bottle.
Ohh what a shame, I hate when that happens!! You very very creative, you found a great way to turn your loss into something more positive. That's great! 🥳
To be honest if you wear Oud 24 h most people will think you're wearing Black Orchid (unless someone is a die hard fan of Black Orchid then it might spot few differences). But the problem with Oud 24 H for me was the performance, it was weak. So if you want something similar to Black Orchid that has the depth and the performance I would advice you to layer Royal Orchid by Al Aneeq with Oud 24 H, this way you'll get better performance! Scent wise they're not exactly the same but they're really close🤗
Hi my dear 🤗❤ The usual perfumes project better and have a stronger sillage (the eau de parfum) but fragrance oils have a better longevity. But this depends on brands as well, but in general fragrance oils stay closer to the skin and don't project that much
Thank you dear ❤️🤗 Can't remember exactly but I use a lot of Nyx products, most likely it's a nyx lip liner (mauve or natural) and a pinky nude toned lipgloss over it
Thank you for watching! 💕 Florence by Swiss Arabian is suppose to dupe Roses Vanille by Mancera, so I will recommend you some fragrances that dupe Roses Vanille. If you want an oil version then look for Tanasuk by Al Haramain. There is also the parfume version of this oil as well. Another one that has that same vibe is Extreme Rose by Louis Varel, smells identical to Roses Vanille by Mancera. One that I haven't tried but people here on TH-cam say it's very good is Rose Gourmand by Zara, smells very similar to Roses Vanille/Intense Cafe. I will add fragrantica links to make it easier for you 🤗 🔸 www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Al-Haramain-Perfumes/Tanasuk-46253.html 🔸 www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Louis-Varel/Extreme-Rose-58260.html 🔸www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Zara/Rose-Gourmand-For-Her-63268.html
@@atesharamjit91 Ok so right when you spray it, it can be a little bit synthetic, but wait 1 min and the scent will open up. It starts sweet, I mostly get sweet florals and a bit of rose on a light incense base. To me it's a bit aery, it not that dark concentrated fragrance, it has some brightness to it. As it stays on ur skin, it gets warmer and sweeter, you get a sweet caramel vibe, with some rasinous accords on a base of incense, but again, it's a bit aery. It's a very happy kind of scent and it is a safe blind buy if you're just starting out with middle eastern fragrances. It has a middle eastern vibe for sure but just enough to get a taste of this style of parfumery without it being too much. Performance it not the best, lacks the projection and the longevity (on me). Some people get better performance but I think Lattafa did something to their fragrances in the last few years, they watered down their fragrances. To me this is a sweet warm rosy incensy fragrance that has some lightness and britghtness/aeriness to it. Personally I don't find it very heavy because I'm usually used to these kinds of parfumes and I like in general heavier fragrances. Most poeple have great things to say about it, only few people said it's heavy and headache inducing. It's a great one to have in your collection, the smell is very nice and you could layer it with many other fragrances, it can easily become your everday fragrance. Hope it helped!
I have learned that you musn't rub perfume spray, but you must rub perfume oil so that the perfume smells as it supposed to smell. I don't know how to explain it better in English.
Ahmed al Maghribi is an amazing house, so unique and the fragrances that I've tested from them perform so well ❤ I'll def try more in the future. How do you find Oud Cafe, is it similar to Intense Cafe by Montale or their own creation?
There is a brand called al rehab, they make such a beautiful fragrances oil at a very low price ...check one that brand specially al rehab golden sand ( not golden it's golden sand ) which is so beautiful gourmand fragrance , al rehab choco musk which is chocolaty vanilla gourmand fragrance ...al rehab soft ( pink sugar clone) ...al rehab sandra ( britney spears fantasy clone) n much more ... check this brand u will not regret at all
You are so lovely, thank you so much dear for all your recommendations! ❤️🤗 I will look into them and I will look up the brand. I just looked up Golden Sand and it looks like something I would really enjoy! 😍
Incidentally, I have another parfum problem. I do not wish to dispose of pretty bottles and many I cannot re-open to re-purpose. Many little tears (and bottle accumulation!). Ay!!
I totally get you! I have a hard time throwing away fragrances that I've used as I always leave a few little drops on the bottom of the bottle to remind myself from time to time of the scent 😂
I think it all depends on how you store them, if you keep them in the direct sunlight or in a very humid place (like the bathroom) all fragrances will go bad faster. Keep them in a dark and dry place and they will be fine. I've had Royal Orchid by Al Aneeq in my collection for more than 4 years and it smells great, it didn't change the scent, and this one I've carried it in my purse everywhere. Hope it helped!
Hi dear, the oil is by the brand Al Haramain, it comes in a set of 5 (I will leave a link here) and the set is called "Al Haramain Concentrated Perfume Oils Oriental", the oils don't have a name. This is how the set comes 👉 www.notino.co.uk/al-haramain/concentrated-perfume-oils-oriental-gift-set-ii-unisex/ ❤️
Thank you for watching ❤ You could look them up on Amazon, Ebay or even some websites that are based in the US and sell middle eastern fragrances, like intense oud, fragrance.net, fragrance arabia, depends what brand you are looking for 💫
Thank you for this video. I look forward to trying some of these. However your skin is a sponge and applying perfume and oil directly to skin can be hazardous to your health. Applying oils and perfumes to dark clothing is much safer. Please google for the research.
I appreciate your concern, I know fragrances in general can be an irritant to the skin and a contributing factor to hormonal imbalances, I try to not exaggerate. Thank you for watching ❤💫
Don't use synthetic oils on the skin, use the organic ones on skin and synthetic on clothes only You may not realize now, but it will harm in the long term
Hi, thank you for watching! ❤️ With the alcohol based fragrances if you rub them then you will damage the top notes of the fragrance, it's almost like you make them evaporate quicker. Best to spray it on skin and let it dry out. As for fragrance oils, some say it's good to rub them some say it's not 🤷🏻♀️
Hey you should definitely try out our Oriental fragrances that we have. I think you would love them, msg us back we would love to send you some as a gift 😊

I recommend trying attars by Sultan Pasha.
Thank you for watching and thank you for your recommendations ❤
Poesie Perfume has a lot of beautiful gourmand fragrance oils :)
Thank you for the recommendation, I will look them up ❤️🤗
@@AFragrantGlance The one I like best from them is Versaille. Good luck :)
Hello, i really like your chanel and content.thanks for that.
Could you please review the swiss arabian oils like amaali,layali,.... please?
Thank you for watching ❤ I am happy to hear you're enjoying my videos. Never tried any oils from Swiss Arabian, will look these up thank your for the recommendation 🌟
Hello, please try al rehab sultan oud, oud rose the quality is very good, long lasting powerfull . I like al rehab nebras, al rehab classic al rehab balkis al rehab choco musk. Think you
Thank you for watching dear! ❤🤗From Al Rehab I've tried so far Golden Sand, Choco Musk and Dalal which I enjoy a lot, I will look up your recommendations as well 🌟
I picked up a perfume oil Musk Silk Perfume oil by Ajmal Pure White Musk. Have you heard of this one before? I ordered it for layering with my other perfumes. 🥰🤗
Haven't heard of it, how do you feel about it? 🥳 Here in Romania I haven't seen any Ajmal oils online, just their perfumes. Thank you for watching dear 🤗🌹❤

I love the Musk Silk perfume oil. I use it along with my fragrances everyday. It is very good. ♥️🌹🥰
I was cleaning out my closet today and found a really old bottle of lavender fragrance oil. The label was turning yellow with age and had a lot of French words, and the only thing I understood on the bottle was “lavender” and in English on the bottom of the label it said made in France. If I get sick using it, that’s gonna suck
Ahaha sick I don't think, at most some skin rashes but most likely as long as the scent hasn't changed (even though the color did) it's still safe and good to use 🎊
@@AFragrantGlance okay thanks. I’ll use it then because it only smells a bit like rubbing alcohol
Again great video but where can we find these. Really want to try Royal orchid
Thank you for watching!! 🤗 This depends where are you from. Try to look it up on websites that sell middle eastern fragrances, or even contact the sellers and ask them if they can bring it from their suppliers. Hope it helpes!
Finally, after a recent Lanvin Vintage purchase (which I am insane about) it spilled during mailing but I used wet box (original box grrr!) As a sachet for lingerie drawer. Will hunt down another bottle.
Ohh what a shame, I hate when that happens!! You very very creative, you found a great way to turn your loss into something more positive. That's great! 🥳
Guys,could you recommend me where to buy oil fragrances in Tehran,Iran?
I love black orchid by TF. In your opinion is oud 24 hours a good dupe?
To be honest if you wear Oud 24 h most people will think you're wearing Black Orchid (unless someone is a die hard fan of Black Orchid then it might spot few differences). But the problem with Oud 24 H for me was the performance, it was weak. So if you want something similar to Black Orchid that has the depth and the performance I would advice you to layer Royal Orchid by Al Aneeq with Oud 24 H, this way you'll get better performance! Scent wise they're not exactly the same but they're really close🤗
@@AFragrantGlance thank you! I am in the US and I can't find Royal orchid here
Hi ya amar
Which projects more and has stronger sillage oil perfumes or the usual perfumes?
Thank you
Hi my dear 🤗❤ The usual perfumes project better and have a stronger sillage (the eau de parfum) but fragrance oils have a better longevity. But this depends on brands as well, but in general fragrance oils stay closer to the skin and don't project that much
Off topic, what do you use on your lips? Such a beautiful color on you
Thank you dear ❤️🤗 Can't remember exactly but I use a lot of Nyx products, most likely it's a nyx lip liner (mauve or natural) and a pinky nude toned lipgloss over it
Hi, enjoy watching your videos!! Can you recommend more perfume similar to swiss arabia "florence" thankyou!
Thank you for watching! 💕 Florence by Swiss Arabian is suppose to dupe Roses Vanille by Mancera, so I will recommend you some fragrances that dupe Roses Vanille. If you want an oil version then look for Tanasuk by Al Haramain. There is also the parfume version of this oil as well. Another one that has that same vibe is Extreme Rose by Louis Varel, smells identical to Roses Vanille by Mancera. One that I haven't tried but people here on TH-cam say it's very good is Rose Gourmand by Zara, smells very similar to Roses Vanille/Intense Cafe. I will add fragrantica links to make it easier for you 🤗

@@AFragrantGlance Thank you
What are your thoughts on oud mood? How is the opening when sprayed? And the dry down ? Can you describe how it smells ! Thanks
@@atesharamjit91 I've read your comment and I will come back in a few hours with an update when I get to smell Oud Mood again and refreshen my memory
@@atesharamjit91 Ok so right when you spray it, it can be a little bit synthetic, but wait 1 min and the scent will open up. It starts sweet, I mostly get sweet florals and a bit of rose on a light incense base. To me it's a bit aery, it not that dark concentrated fragrance, it has some brightness to it. As it stays on ur skin, it gets warmer and sweeter, you get a sweet caramel vibe, with some rasinous accords on a base of incense, but again, it's a bit aery. It's a very happy kind of scent and it is a safe blind buy if you're just starting out with middle eastern fragrances. It has a middle eastern vibe for sure but just enough to get a taste of this style of parfumery without it being too much. Performance it not the best, lacks the projection and the longevity (on me). Some people get better performance but I think Lattafa did something to their fragrances in the last few years, they watered down their fragrances. To me this is a sweet warm rosy incensy fragrance that has some lightness and britghtness/aeriness to it. Personally I don't find it very heavy because I'm usually used to these kinds of parfumes and I like in general heavier fragrances. Most poeple have great things to say about it, only few people said it's heavy and headache inducing. It's a great one to have in your collection, the smell is very nice and you could layer it with many other fragrances, it can easily become your everday fragrance. Hope it helped!
I have learned that you musn't rub perfume spray, but you must rub perfume oil so that the perfume smells as it supposed to smell. I don't know how to explain it better in English.
Thank you for the advice, I understood it, don't worry! 🤗
Tanasuk-Al Haramain
Thank you for the recommendation, I heard this one is similar to Roses Vanille, how do you find the longevity? ❤
@@AFragrantGlance similar with Roses Vanillie ( Roses V for the begining smell synthetic, unfortunately) more 6 hours longevity .
I found Ahmed al Maghribi as a very interesting fragrances -Rose Nuit; Oud Crush , Oud Cafe. Pearl Oud ... and others, i'll try oils from Maghribi.
I will try combining , but first to find some good perfect oils:)
Ahmed al Maghribi is an amazing house, so unique and the fragrances that I've tested from them perform so well ❤ I'll def try more in the future. How do you find Oud Cafe, is it similar to Intense Cafe by Montale or their own creation?
There is a brand called al rehab, they make such a beautiful fragrances oil at a very low price ...check one that brand specially al rehab golden sand ( not golden it's golden sand ) which is so beautiful gourmand fragrance , al rehab choco musk which is chocolaty vanilla gourmand fragrance ...al rehab soft ( pink sugar clone) ...al rehab sandra ( britney spears fantasy clone) n much more ... check this brand u will not regret at all
You are so lovely, thank you so much dear for all your recommendations! ❤️🤗 I will look into them and I will look up the brand. I just looked up Golden Sand and it looks like something I would really enjoy! 😍
I have all of these. They are all so wonderful. I love the Al Rehab brand
No one talk about Al Haramain Urbanist Femme intense. Do you think uts good???
Thank you for watching dear! ❤️ Unfortunately I never got the chance to smell Urbanist Femme Intense by Al Haramain 🌟
Incidentally, I have another parfum problem. I do not wish to dispose of pretty bottles and many I cannot re-open to re-purpose. Many little tears (and bottle accumulation!). Ay!!
I totally get you! I have a hard time throwing away fragrances that I've used as I always leave a few little drops on the bottom of the bottle to remind myself from time to time of the scent 😂
I would like to collect it if you ever want to dispose bottles
I've heard these oil rolls don't last long ...is this true.
Is it possible for them to last 5+ years at least. Do these rolls go bad easy.
I think it all depends on how you store them, if you keep them in the direct sunlight or in a very humid place (like the bathroom) all fragrances will go bad faster. Keep them in a dark and dry place and they will be fine. I've had Royal Orchid by Al Aneeq in my collection for more than 4 years and it smells great, it didn't change the scent, and this one I've carried it in my purse everywhere. Hope it helped!
Plz am looking for issey miyake oil perfume plz can you help with it thanks
Hey, I'd love to help but I don't know any oil that smells like issey miyake❤
What is the name of the oil #5 in Swiss Arabian, the one that reminds you of your mystery oil? Thank you :)
Hi dear, the oil is by the brand Al Haramain, it comes in a set of 5 (I will leave a link here) and the set is called "Al Haramain Concentrated Perfume Oils Oriental", the oils don't have a name. This is how the set comes 👉 www.notino.co.uk/al-haramain/concentrated-perfume-oils-oriental-gift-set-ii-unisex/ ❤️

Just one query, do fragrance oils or attar or oudhs turn hair grey ???
Hi, no, they don't 😊
@@AFragrantGlance ohhh goddd. I lived my entire life on this fact that they turn hair grey😑😑😑 not even perfumes ?? Nothing?? N thankyou😊💟
Your Arabic pronunciation is very good
Thank you ❤
Where do we buy these in the states?
Thank you for watching ❤ You could look them up on Amazon, Ebay or even some websites that are based in the US and sell middle eastern fragrances, like intense oud, fragrance.net, fragrance arabia, depends what brand you are looking for 💫
You are so lovely 😍❤️
Thank you dear! ❤️🤗

Thank you for watching and thank you for the recommendation ❤

It was a gift and I don't know the smell or they company it came from, I'm sorry
@@AFragrantGlance thank you

I appreciate your recommendation, thank you for watching! ❤️🌠
Thank you for this video. I look forward to trying some of these. However your skin is a sponge and applying perfume and oil directly to skin can be hazardous to your health. Applying oils and perfumes to dark clothing is much safer. Please google for the research.
I appreciate your concern, I know fragrances in general can be an irritant to the skin and a contributing factor to hormonal imbalances, I try to not exaggerate. Thank you for watching ❤💫
Don't use synthetic oils on the skin, use the organic ones on skin and synthetic on clothes only
You may not realize now, but it will harm in the long term
Thank you for watching dear and thank you for your piece of advice ❤️🌹 What are some of your favourite organic oils you use on your skin? 🌠
Why is it not okay to rub the fragrance into your skin?
Hi, thank you for watching! ❤️ With the alcohol based fragrances if you rub them then you will damage the top notes of the fragrance, it's almost like you make them evaporate quicker. Best to spray it on skin and let it dry out. As for fragrance oils, some say it's good to rub them some say it's not 🤷🏻♀️
Youre sweet as heaven😙
Hey you should definitely try out our Oriental fragrances that we have. I think you would love them, msg us back we would love to send you some as a gift 😊
