ALSO I did some digging and found out "maceration" is not the correct term -- it's maturation. Maceration refers to the process of exposure during manufacturing! Maturation refers to aging after bottling. the base notes get deeper and the lighter notes/alcohol evaporates (roughly).
Sometimes perfumes have a particular season where they shine the best…. Maybe hold off until it gets a little cooler out to see if the Nebras perfume will work for you! Best wishes ~
Hi Cre! Love your approach to fragrances you describe them just fine as a realist. Glad you're enjoying Qawha vs the OG. I didnt care for the OG and gave it to my bf but i enjoy Qawha as well its more vanillic to my nose. I think the coffee tones done that woody note in the OG.
It’s that last one you mentioned that has me interested. I’ll wait to hear more about your thoughts on it throughout your videos. I already have Casablanca and I like/ love it depending on the day lol. But something different might be in store for me when I do finish that bottle.
Great video. I love Gold Couture as well. I also don’t like Eilish so when I got Nebras, I just got a 20ml tester lol. I was afraid I wouldn’t like it but I’m enjoying it and I found the Eilish body spray at Walmart and actually like it as well. I really like Casa Blanca so I haven’t gotten the Essence one yet because I figured it would be too redundant. I’m glad you’re enjoying it and can’t wait to hear your thoughts after a wear test. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend. 😊
@@ScentSquirrel Hey love! Thanks for watching. I saw that Eilish body mist also and contemplated getting lol 😅 I do have to agree the Essence of Casablanca would be redundant if you have the OG. I recommend you maybe get that one once you finish the Og. It’s equally as beautiful.😍 I think you will enjoy it.
Lot of hit/miss with ME for me but the hits are SO good. I love Armaf Imperiale, Khair Pistachio, Yara/Qissa/Nuha. But did not like Casablanca, Badee Sublime, Choco Musk is OK but I will let them mature.
I love Nebra’s and can’t stand the original. I love Casablanca and let it sit for a year and get so many compliments. I might consider getting the essence of Casablanca.
Oh wow! Where have I been? This is my first time hearing about Essence of Casablanca. I can't wait to hear your thoughts after it has macerated a bit. I've been back and forth about Casablanca for a while. Thanks for sharing, Cree!
@@evrytingkriss Hey boo. Thanks for watching. I feel like it’s been around a while, but you don’t see many reviews on it. I’ll definitely come back and update you guys after a few months 😉
Alot of people say they prefer the Qawa over the original ❤I actually have never smelled either...also as for the pear potion its giving almost nothing...it seems watered down, more like a body mist....which i just dont wont my perfumes to smell like a dang body mist.
@@YummyGummy77 Lol exactly why I decluttered it! I have body mists that gives the feels that was trying to give. KHAMRAH is polarizing! Proceed with caution. ⚠️
Thanks for sharing 😊 I'm interested in a few of the products you showed today. I think i'm gonna try the essence of casablanca. I'm on a low buy also 😅
I wanted to try that Afnan Gala Supremacy..it’s actually still in my cart..there isn’t too many reviews on it. I’m glad u did one and idk..I might pass on this one😂😂
I hear a lot of persons mentioning a minty smell in Nebras but I get none of that. I don't get the red berries either but I wish I did. I love it so much though! 😊 I like Khamrah but I don't love it. I will just take up the bottle and sniff it but I don't really wear it. I would love to smell the flanker.
It's not really mint it's basically just aromatic. You know that unique note, unique touch that it has that u can't quite pinpoint? Yeah that's the aromatics😊
I’ve had Soft since January and I’ve been trying soooo hard to like it but I may declutter it! I loved it more when i first got it but now that it has sat and changed I don’t care for it now 🤷🏽♀️ I have and love pink sugar so I may just give soft to my daughter lol
It's interesting that Montaigne Coco reminds you of a hair product. Could it be the coconut? I got that same hair product vibe from Qaed Al Fursan when I purchased it.
@@evrytingkriss lol girl it reminded me of like that generic tropical coconut vibe lol from like the old school blue magic with the clear grease or something 🤣 it’s nice but I was like na I’m not gone where this. I heard others say it does smell similar to coco vanille though.
@@Crebaby_23 yup!!!! I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't want my perfume to smell like that. Walking around smelling like a damn 90s salon. 🤣
Lol not a black girl hair grease! I know exactly what you mean. I had both fragrances Coco Vanille and Montainge and they're exact. I couldn't take that synthetic sun tan lotion note. I gave both away. I thought the ME version would be more tame but its actually stronger than the OG. I'll just keep Mugler Goddess as my coconut summer scent because its not aa synthetic as the majority ive tried.
@@KiraJ717 lol I couldn’t figure out a better way to describe it 😆 Thank you for sharing. I heard others also state it was spot on. I’m glad I didn’t pick it up. ( coco vanille)! I’m with you sticking to my alien goddess I guess.
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🤓 i’m still not sure if I like the original Khamrah or the new one better🤔 I completely agree that gorgeous gardenia smells so good but it just doesn’t last very long😭 I have been so curious about essence of Casablanca🤓 I need to get my nose on that one😋🤗
coco vanille is amazing if you have tried dolce gabanna dolce garden, is that coconut with the vanilla of roses vanille.. i don’t get any florals just like the name 🥥 and sweet vanilla ❤i hope if helps😊
@@marisolsantana5449 Hey love thanks for watching. I have had dolce garden before, I actually let go of that one. I loved it at first and then something changed. I don’t think me and most coconut frags🥥 get a long so well 😅
Hi Cre, when it comes to the Essence of Casablanca, do you still get a caramel scent in the fragrance ( since there is no caramel note listed)? I really liked the apple and caramel in Casablanca but had to give it away because the patchouli and suede were too masculine on me, and they domineered the notes that I liked.
@@latiajohnson2346 Hey there! I felt the same way about the OG. Although the caramel wasn’t listed in the essence, I still got the impression it was present. I’ll be sure to report back after time passes to see if any of those resinous notes we didn’t care for in the OG start to peak through or not 😉
Thanks for replying. I went ahead and purchased the Essence of Casablanca based on your initial review, lol. You have become one of my go-to people to watch because you keep it real and honest. I was thinking about spinning the block on Casablanca to see if I could tolerate it now, but your review came up and saved me. I'll look forward to your update.
@@fatypink I’ll say this. Ebhar is much lighter not as heavy of a fragrance. I like Ebhar better it’s and easier wear, however I wish it was stronger. Essence of Casablanca is more expensive about $70. Between that and the OG I recommend the Og you can get for like $25 now. I haven’t had it long enough to compare those just yet.
I agree the sucre smells almost exactly like gold couture. I agree with almost every one of your thoughts on perfume 😂. But yeah i like gold better than sucre but i mean its definitely not bad by any means..let me quit commenting 8 times on every video 😂😂😂
@@YummyGummy77 lol I appreciate the comments it help me get pushed in the algorithm! 🙌🏾 Sucre is good, I feel it doesn’t last as long as gold couture. I’m definitely gonna get that again soon lol.
I love that we have twin noses...I smell the same thing with Nebras. I'm over the Middle Easterns...too much hit and miss..returning is difficult...resealing annoying and I just plain don't like the quality of them. I can't wait to get my hands on Sucre tho Great video...welcome back girl 🎉🎉

The Nebraska has mint. It’s the mint that you’re picking up on.
Essences of Casablanca is beautiful. I love mines had it over a year and I get so many compliments..

I got rid of Khamrah. It was too spicy for me. I may try Khamrah Quawa.
@@brendaschenk9390 Hey lady! KHAMRAH OG is very spicy, maybe try a decant. I feel the flanker is equally spicy, but it’s not as beastly as the OG.
@@Crebaby_23 maybe I’ll just skip it all together. If it’s equally spicy I’m not going to wear it lol.

the nebras you are probably smelling the musk and amber.
Amazing video like always!!!! Do you happen to know a place that has Akro Bake or Ice lemon pound cake body oil???

Also, if we could get some more laying combos, I'd appreciate it. Just got Dua version of Akro Bake, and I fell in love.
I love that we have twin noses...I smell the same thing with Nebras.

I can't wait to get my hands on Sucre tho
