You guys are gonna make me cry ❤❤❤ Kindness has become so rare in this world and I am so happy that I am a part of a group who absolutely nails it with humanity, love and passion. Thank you my Angel ❤
Thank you for your comments about oud bouquet. It can drive me crazy how often Arab perfumes are called dupes of European perfumes, when the truth is the opposite. Angel, LaBelle, oud bouquet, I could go on and on, they were called groundbreaking but these are all dupes of classic Arab scent profiles. And almost every ingredient in French perfumery was taken from a colonized country. This is a subject I am passionate about and glad to hear it spoken about.
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤ I am glad I am not alone in this! The more we talk about this, the better ❤ With the recent boom in Western Fusion perfumes, it is even more vital to raise such awareness.
Love Shaghaf Oud Tonka and Azraq ❤ I haven’t tried Shaghaf Oud Elixir, but I definitely want to! I know I’ve said this before but I love how you educate us about the meanings of names of these perfumes as well as the base and other middle eastern cultural facts. Listening to you calms my soul and puts me in my happy place. Absolutely adore you darling ❤
Thank you so much my hun ❤️ May you always stay blessed and loved beautiful soul xo Oh yes! Tonka, Azraq, Aswad and Elixir are prolly my favs from the lot ❤️❤️❤️
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ I am so happy this will aid your purchase decision. I know it can be very overwhelming to select from these many options from a range ❤
I’m new to middle eastern perfumes. I first bought Night Oud in a little clothes boutique in Türkiye and have been obsessed since. I wish I could send you a sample to get your analysis of the notes. It’s divine and I’ve never found it since. However since subscribing to your channel since December I have bought several of your recommendations. Much to my husbands chagrin. More ordered and waiting their arrival. The first I ordered was Lattafa Badee Al Oud Amethyst given your reaction to it. When it arrived I thought it was disgusting. After a few weeks macerating I tried again. OMG it’s the most beautiful scent and I’m obsessed with it. Your videos are wonderful, thank you for your hard work ❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ First off, thank you for subbing to the channel babe. It really means a lot to me. I really wish I could try Night Oud out. Oh nooooo, lol. Ali was also quite surprised initially when I started collecting perfumes. But its just another day, another perfume for him lol Oh yes, that was my experience as well with amethyst. First spray I was like oooookaaaayyyyyy... But then sheer obsession. I feel like an Arabian Queen when I wear it ❤ Thank you soooo much for your kindness babe ❤ xo
I ordered Azraq immediately after hearing your description!!! You look absolutely Stunning today and always. Love from Fairhope Alabama. Thank you for the video
Hey my hun ❤ Oh pls pls pls lemme know what you think of it babe ❤ I get so excited every time someone tried Azraq for the first time lol ❤ Thank you for always supporting me gorgeous ❤
Hey queen Amidala, what’s up? 😂 Love me some Shaghaf 🥹 I have only 3, the OG (which I have finished, bought another bottle), Tonka and Vanilla Toffee, each one is so delicious in it’s own way! I get what you mean talking about the “burnt sugar” in VT, I can smell that too and I like it! It reminds me of the slighty bitter sauce on top of a crème caramel… Have you tried it in combination with Opulence of Dubai?! 😋 It’s crazy how OoD can be layered with almost anything and makes everything better!
Simin honnn! You’re sooo stunning and radiant in those shades of gold, like a treasure chest! You would put the most priceless pieces in a Queen’s jewellery case to shame! 😍❤️ Swiss Arabian is such an amazing brand! Love that you did this video! It makes everything so comprehensive and easy to come back and reference anytime I want to know how you feel about a scent from this brand❤ Also gonna go follow Prince Fazza now! 😆 Edit: Not a fish creature from Star Wars 🤣😂 You’re absolutely hilarious Simin. Love your sense of humour. P.S. I just remembered this pick up line about fish and I just had to mention it! “Darling, are you a fish? Because you’ve got me hooked and floundering.” 😆❤️
My Beautiful Hun ❤ You are literally a ray of sunshine in my life ❤ Yea those earrings got to go 😂😂😂 While they look absolutely stunning on their own. On my ears, just weird 😂 Swiss Arabian is definitely one of the most reliable Middle Eastern Brands. I have so many favorites from them. I had so many requests to make this video and I am so glad I did it finally. Oh yessss! Prince Fazza is an absolute joy to watch ❤ He is the coolest prince ever! Hahahaa thats all I could think of when I saw myself in the monitor. It bothered me so much that I forgot to take the Thumbnail picture lol. I had to use an old one 😂 You floored me with the pick up line 😂😂😂
I love the OG Shagaf Oud, but I really want to try Shagaf Elixir now. Just lost my job, so I need to wait on that. Thank you for your videos, I always find them a calming, interesting space.
Hey beautiful ❤ Here is to a brand new, better, more fulfilling start to the new year babe ❤ Career wise, Health wise and just generally happier 2025 for all of us. Thank you my hun. Thank you for always being so kind and generous in your comments. P.S. If I can just make one person laugh, my day is successful ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you for this super accurate and interesting tour on the Shagaf Oud scents! Your example of the extreme sweetness in the opening of Shagaf Vanilla Toffee followed by the bitterness reminded me about the japanese matcha tea, a fabulous powder tea that has a very bitter taste so it's always served with the omogashi, a little super sweet round waffle that you put in your mouth before seeping the tea, and it instantly melts; yes it's a strong contrast but also seductive in some ways. I already have the classic Shagaf Oud and the Tonka one and I like them very much, so now I will explore the Blue One... thank you shining Simin🌟
Hey Beautiful Soul ❤ Your description of the Japanese Tea Ceremony was so vivid that I could almost feel like I was right there experiencing it. Now, I’m really eager to visit Japan and try it for myself! So many beautiful traditions all over the world to explore. I have a feeling you will love the Blue One (Azraq). Thank you for always sharing your experiences and for all the support you give me my hun ❤❤❤ Love & Light to you ❤ xo
I layer Shaghaf Oud Aswad with the OG Shaghaf Oud. Beautiful! Aswad on my skin turns into a nuanced soapy rose which I adore. Shaghaf Oud I also layer with Edict Amberythme. Stunning!
Yessss!!! OG and Aswad are one of my fav layering combination ever! ❤ So beautiful and changes into a completely different perfume. I have yet to get my hands on Amberythme ❤ I will note this combo for future, thanks my hun ❤❤❤
YEAAAAYYYY 🎉🎉🎉🎉 finally all shaghaf oud ❤❤❤ I gave my date shaghaf oud aswad & azraq and he really loves it and he is german. You are right queen it is intimidating i love also shaghaf oud aswad , OG and elixir. Oud tonka i gave it away to my friend because its sadly not my tea
Hey beautiful ❤❤❤ Yassss!!! Aswad and Azraq are perfect to smell on our significant others aren't they? ❤ Oh nooooo :( I think for some people the missing sweetness in Shaghaf Oud Tonka is a deal breaker.
@SiminShaikh you are soooo right queen. They smells so gorgeous with those 2. I cant tell why i dont really enjoy it , oud and sugar is missing perhaps. But the classics and elixir are masterpiece
Happy Monday Sim! It was so good to see you after a rough weekend. Shaghaf Oud Tonka-Fresh toys, soooo true, brings me back to a happy place. I have the red scent too. Fruity, strong. I’m intrigued by vanilla toffee but too expensive for a blind buy. You named one after Ragnar Lothbrook. Did you watch Vikings? Keep up your excellent reviews where I learn so much💗
Hey gorgeous ❤ I hope everything is ok at your side and that you have a beautiful rest of the week. I am so glad Shaghaf Oud Tonka brought back happy memories for you ❤ I am glad you are not blind buying Vanilla Toffee. It is best to sample it first. I am a huge Vikings fan! The new one (Valhalla), not so much but the OG was insane! Love it ❤❤❤
Gorgeous girl, what perfect timing for this video because now that I'm an oud girly, I want more! I was look at all the Shaghaf Ouds over the weekend and didn't know where to start. I ended up getting Maison Alhambra Baroque Satin Oud until I talked to you about the Swiss Arabians. I'm so excited about watching this!!! Thank you, for putting this bit of content together.❤❤❤ Guess what I did over the weekend??? I WENT OUD MOOD CRAZY!!!😂😍😂 I'm already making a dent and wear it at night to go to bed in. It's SOOOOO cozy! Thankfully it's just myself and my son who is a police officer. He's gone a lot or catching up on sleep so I'm not bothering anyone with my excessive spraying!!!!😂😂😂 You look absolutely like a queen.😍😍 Those earrings are everything!😍😍 Have a fantastic week and I hope you'll laugh when you picture me going Oud Mood crazy.😂 All my love and support, dear friend.❤❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ My Oudy Girl! I am really so happy that you finally getting to enjoy Oud as a note. It is such an acquired taste but once you start liking it, you cannot ever go back. I am so glad I put this video out first although I have so many new perfumes to review. I hope you find some good ones at good prices. Oud mooooood!!! I love it so much as well. Especially now since in Dubai we have our "Supposed" winter lol. Oud Mood and Ameer al Oud are my go to right now. Wowwwwww your son is an officer. That is sooooo cool! You must be a proud mama ❤ Thank you my Angel ❤ Thank you for always being such a beautiful human being ad friend ❤ Yesssss!!! Now every time I reach for Oud Mood I will remember you 😂😂😂 So much love to you my hun. Love, Sim ❤
Yes, Simin, we need to give the Shaghaf Oud OG and all her ME fragrance sisters built on that DNA footprint their well-deserved merit as a traditional ME DNA! It's generational. It's not a dupe of any Western fragrance, and it's absolutely beautiful 😍 This line is so awesome 👌 The only one I don't like is Abyad 😞 I have it, but in my own defense, I do dust it off occasionally 😅 I confess I wear Azrad and love it! That cinnamon note is addictive to me. Ahmar has such a beautiful dry down. I have received so many compliments on this one (not Erba Pura). Royal is one I don't have. Elixir is Queen 👸 😍 💖 ❤️ So perfectly blended, no rough edges at all. Tonka is perfection to me 😊 I have 2 backup bottles 😅 Now, Vanilla Toffee has matured perfectly for me, and I love the complexity and the entire olfactory journey of this fragrance. It is definitely for those who like serious complexity in their fragrances. I love Aswad ❤️ sometimes the cumin note will get to me. That's short-lived, and the other notes take over. It's a love 😊 Thanx Simin. This review was spot on! Have you tried Areej Al Sheila and Sehr Al Sheila?
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Absolutely! I could not agree more. These DNA's have been around for ages and passed down for generation to generation. Ever since my nose can remember, I have smelled these since my childhood. Hahaha I get it with Abyad being quite challenging. It is very masculine. Azraq is probably one of the very few honey perfumes I love. I don't reach for Ahmar once but I agree, it s a crowd pleaser! I too get compliments when i wear it. I am currently obsessed with Tonka, Azraq, Aswad and Elixir ❤ I really hope my nose adjusts to Vanilla Toffee. It is a very complex perfume indeed and I would love to be able to wear it. I did try Areej and Sehr Al Sheila in their shop. They are usually also available at very good prices. But unfortunately for me, they just don't do it. They are too generic traditional if you know what I mean. Babe, thank you for taking time and sharing your thoughts with me ❤
What a beautifull outfit, you look like a goddess to me. Thanks for your video, always so happy to watch. Hug from oversees, Holland dutch perfume-lady. 🥰
Hi Simin, happy New Year. Thanks for reviewing this line, I’m definitely interested in the Shaghaf Elixir (I love the OG Shaghaf too) and the Oud Tonka sounds interesting. Have you tried the Arabiyat Prestige Aariz Absolu? I’m told it’s a really good dupe of Velvet Tonka too. I’m very curious about how they compare as I’m thinking of getting that one. The performance of the Arabian version is supposedly very good… I’d love your opinion on it. Thanks 🙏🏼!
That colour suits you Simin. I love Shaghaf Oud line.I got Ahmar Azraq and Tonka. Abyad and Aswad find them muscling . Next I will get Vanilla Toffee when prices come down.
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Thank youuuu ❤ Shaghaf Oud line is probably the only one I will ever collect and never declutter. Its a weird obsession lol. Is there any chance for you to sample Vanilla Toffee first?
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ So Oud Mood and Shafhaf Oud OG are too similar to purchase both. Owning both would be redundant. On the other hand, while Elixir passes off as a flanker to Shaghaf Oud OG, it has a lot of added aromatics and complexities. Definitely worth a buy even if you own Oud Mood ❤ I hope this helps ❤
Thank you for the Shaghaf Oud collection review, Sim! ❤ I love Shaghaf Oud Tonka. The sweetness is just enough for my liking. I really, really want to buy it, but the price! Is there even a chance they'll lower them now? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I still haven't bought a decant of Azraq because the decants are expensive as well. 😅 But its bottle is the most beautiful out of the entire line. I think you earrings are pretty. I get what you're saying though. 😂 I won't wear them myself because I have small ears. I love wearing long, dangling ones, but not ones that will cover my ears. 😅
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤ Oh yes! Shaghaf Oud Tonka is definitely one of my favs. You need to catch them during a sale babe. The prices are definitely high for ME fragrances comparatively. OMG the Azraq bottle is so stunning! I remember when I first got it, I could not stop touching it lol. Hahahaaa right?! 😂 You know my ears are super tiny as well. Like tiny tiny! So we share the pain with large earrings Hahaha!!! 😂😂😂
I have Lancome Oud Bouquet and Shaghaf Oud. I obviously love the DNA! Is the difference between Shaghaf Oud Elixir and the others mentioned, make it worth getting it? Or is it superfluous?
Hey beautiful, In my opinion yes, it is worth it. Because of the aromatics in Elixir, the perfume is quite different. But it is definitely a flanker to the OG, so there will be similarities ❤ I must admit I barely wear OG after I received the Elixir though.
Hi Simin. Please can you suggest for me an introductory oud (for woman or even unisex). I'm not familiar with oud and I want to get to know it and add it to my collection. People say to start off gently lol. I'd love suggestions for any middle eastern brands thank you so much! 🎉🎉
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Oh yes! Oud can be a hit or a miss for first time users lol. I am so glad you asked this question. I would start with Shaghaf Oud Elixir as a starter Oud. It has enough oud for it to be noticed but not obnoxious or animalic to cause an aversion. I hope this helps babe xo
Hey beautiful, Shaghaf Oud line can be quite challenging for a lot of people, so you are not alone in it. I reviewed Shaghaf Woman and Man perhaps over a year ago and they were pleasant as well ❤
Thanks for sharing! The Vanilla Toffee I got a month ago and I still have that burnt (almost like burnt rubber) smell on me 😢 I might wait another few months ?
Oh babe! I know that feeling. I hope that it settles soon because mine smells burnt as well till date. I will not declutter it and keep trying to add it to maceration update videos for you.
I'm keeping that vanilla toffee shagoff veeeeery far away from me. I could not do burnt sugar. By the way, you look stunning. Remember, positive affirmations in 2025. ❤
It's not just you, sis. I have two Vanilla Toffees directly from Swiss Arabian, same dates and batch codes. One smells like a hot burnt mess, the other one smells... different, but I could see how someone might like it. Make it make sense 🤷🏾♀️
I have noticed a lot of batch inconsistencies lately. I'm so sorry this has happened to you! ❤ Thanks for letting me know, coz even I kept wondering what was up with my nose. Also, can I pls copy "Make it make sense"? It is such a good way to describe how sometimes we convince ourselves into liking a perfume ❤
Hey beautiful ❤ Thanks for noticing. I did loose a ton of weight. Around the same time last year I was almost 80kgs and I've dropped 15kgs less now. Still a few extra kgs to loose to reach my ideal weight. I was scared or my life last year lol ❤
This may sound weird but I LOVE watching your videos. It’s become my safe space. Thank you Simin❤️
I told her the same thing couple of days back. I can watch her for hours talking about perfume ❤
Same. I re-watch her videos a lot and just listen to her talk about perfumes. ❤
❤100% the best fragrance presenter❤
You guys are gonna make me cry ❤❤❤ Kindness has become so rare in this world and I am so happy that I am a part of a group who absolutely nails it with humanity, love and passion. Thank you my Angel ❤

May you always stay blessed and loved beautiful soul xo
Oh yes! Tonka, Azraq, Aswad and Elixir are prolly my favs from the lot ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Lovely Angel, thank you for the video as always! 💐✨️🖤
You are so kind my angel! I hope you enjoyed the video ❤
I’m new to middle eastern perfumes. I first bought Night Oud in a little clothes boutique in Türkiye and have been obsessed since. I wish I could send you a sample to get your analysis of the notes. It’s divine and I’ve never found it since. However since subscribing to your channel since December I have bought several of your recommendations. Much to my husbands chagrin. More ordered and waiting their arrival. The first I ordered was Lattafa Badee Al Oud Amethyst given your reaction to it. When it arrived I thought it was disgusting. After a few weeks macerating I tried again. OMG it’s the most beautiful scent and I’m obsessed with it. Your videos are wonderful, thank you for your hard work ❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
First off, thank you for subbing to the channel babe. It really means a lot to me.
I really wish I could try Night Oud out.
Oh nooooo, lol. Ali was also quite surprised initially when I started collecting perfumes. But its just another day, another perfume for him lol
Oh yes, that was my experience as well with amethyst. First spray I was like oooookaaaayyyyyy... But then sheer obsession. I feel like an Arabian Queen when I wear it ❤
Thank you soooo much for your kindness babe ❤ xo
I ordered Azraq immediately after hearing your description!!! You look absolutely Stunning today and always. Love from Fairhope Alabama. Thank you for the video
Hey my hun ❤
Oh pls pls pls lemme know what you think of it babe ❤ I get so excited every time someone tried Azraq for the first time lol ❤
Thank you for always supporting me gorgeous ❤
Hey queen Amidala, what’s up? 😂
Love me some Shaghaf 🥹
I have only 3, the OG (which I have finished, bought another bottle), Tonka and Vanilla Toffee, each one is so delicious in it’s own way!
I get what you mean talking about the “burnt sugar” in VT, I can smell that too and I like it!
It reminds me of the slighty bitter sauce on top of a crème caramel…
Have you tried it in combination with Opulence of Dubai?! 😋
It’s crazy how OoD can be layered with almost anything and makes everything better!
❤😂 creature from starwars....😂😂😂..... loved to watch your Video. Greetings from Germany
Hahahaaa oh gosh. I got one glance of myself in the monitor and my brain went for a toss 😂😂😂
So much love your way from Dubai my hun ❤ xo
Simin honnn! You’re sooo stunning and radiant in those shades of gold, like a treasure chest! You would put the most priceless pieces in a Queen’s jewellery case to shame! 😍❤️ Swiss Arabian is such an amazing brand! Love that you did this video! It makes everything so comprehensive and easy to come back and reference anytime I want to know how you feel about a scent from this brand❤ Also gonna go follow Prince Fazza now! 😆
Edit: Not a fish creature from Star Wars 🤣😂 You’re absolutely hilarious Simin. Love your sense of humour. P.S. I just remembered this pick up line about fish and I just had to mention it!
“Darling, are you a fish? Because you’ve got me hooked and floundering.” 😆❤️
My Beautiful Hun ❤
You are literally a ray of sunshine in my life ❤
Yea those earrings got to go 😂😂😂 While they look absolutely stunning on their own. On my ears, just weird 😂
Swiss Arabian is definitely one of the most reliable Middle Eastern Brands. I have so many favorites from them. I had so many requests to make this video and I am so glad I did it finally.
Oh yessss! Prince Fazza is an absolute joy to watch ❤ He is the coolest prince ever!
Hahahaa thats all I could think of when I saw myself in the monitor. It bothered me so much that I forgot to take the Thumbnail picture lol. I had to use an old one 😂
You floored me with the pick up line 😂😂😂
Shaghaf heaven! ❤🎉 thank you
Right?! Beautiful Fragrances ❤ And the bottles are a huge plus plus ❤❤❤
You looks gorgeous. Those earrings are stunning. ❤
Thank you my beautiful hun! And here I thought it was looking super awkward on me ❤
I love the OG Shagaf Oud, but I really want to try Shagaf Elixir now. Just lost my job, so I need to wait on that. Thank you for your videos, I always find them a calming, interesting space.
Also, the Star Wars comment, girl I am LIVING! You crack me up!
Hey beautiful ❤
Here is to a brand new, better, more fulfilling start to the new year babe ❤ Career wise, Health wise and just generally happier 2025 for all of us.
Thank you my hun. Thank you for always being so kind and generous in your comments.
P.S. If I can just make one person laugh, my day is successful ❤ ❤ ❤
Simi you look stunning!
My hun ❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you so much! I hope you had an awesome weekend! xo
I love the earings.
Thank you gorgeous. But I dunno why I feel they look awkward on me ❤️
Love your video ❤❤❤

Your description of the Japanese Tea Ceremony was so vivid that I could almost feel like I was right there experiencing it. Now, I’m really eager to visit Japan and try it for myself! So many beautiful traditions all over the world to explore.
I have a feeling you will love the Blue One (Azraq).
Thank you for always sharing your experiences and for all the support you give me my hun ❤❤❤
Love & Light to you ❤ xo
My favorite of them all is oud tonka.
It is in my top 3 as well ❤❤❤ Love it ❤
Thank you so much Simin!!! I feel like this was specially made for me❤❤❤❤
Oh bless ❤ I am so happy you found this video useful babe ❤ Have a beautiful week ahead! xo
I layer Shaghaf Oud Aswad with the OG Shaghaf Oud. Beautiful! Aswad on my skin turns into a nuanced soapy rose which I adore. Shaghaf Oud I also layer with Edict Amberythme. Stunning!

Much love from Dubai ❤️
YEAAAAYYYY 🎉🎉🎉🎉 finally all shaghaf oud ❤❤❤
I gave my date shaghaf oud aswad & azraq and he really loves it and he is german. You are right queen it is intimidating i love also shaghaf oud aswad , OG and elixir. Oud tonka i gave it away to my friend because its sadly not my tea
Hey beautiful ❤❤❤
Yassss!!! Aswad and Azraq are perfect to smell on our significant others aren't they? ❤
Oh nooooo :( I think for some people the missing sweetness in Shaghaf Oud Tonka is a deal breaker.
@SiminShaikh you are soooo right queen. They smells so gorgeous with those 2. I cant tell why i dont really enjoy it , oud and sugar is missing perhaps. But the classics and elixir are masterpiece
Exciting earrings ! Thank you for your excellent descriptions.
Exciting is one word for it lol. I just thought it looked super awkward! Thanks a bunch for the love my hun❤
Look at that earrings ❤
Hehehe I really thought I looked like a creature from star wars lol ❤ Thanks my hun ❤
Happy Monday Sim! It was so good to see you after a rough weekend. Shaghaf Oud Tonka-Fresh toys, soooo true, brings me back to a happy place. I have the red scent too. Fruity, strong.

You look absolutely like a queen.😍😍 Those earrings are everything!😍😍
Have a fantastic week and I hope you'll laugh when you picture me going Oud Mood crazy.😂 All my love and support, dear friend.❤❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
My Oudy Girl! I am really so happy that you finally getting to enjoy Oud as a note. It is such an acquired taste but once you start liking it, you cannot ever go back. I am so glad I put this video out first although I have so many new perfumes to review. I hope you find some good ones at good prices.
Oud mooooood!!! I love it so much as well. Especially now since in Dubai we have our "Supposed" winter lol. Oud Mood and Ameer al Oud are my go to right now. Wowwwwww your son is an officer. That is sooooo cool! You must be a proud mama ❤
Thank you my Angel ❤ Thank you for always being such a beautiful human being ad friend ❤
Yesssss!!! Now every time I reach for Oud Mood I will remember you 😂😂😂
So much love to you my hun.
Love, Sim ❤
Simin you look radiant darling 😍😍😍 I just ordered some more Lattafa fragrances
You are so kind my hun! Let me know which ones you ordered and which ones you recommend to me ❤
Yes, Simin, we need to give the Shaghaf Oud OG and all her ME fragrance sisters built on that DNA footprint their well-deserved merit as a traditional ME DNA! It's generational. It's not a dupe of any Western fragrance, and it's absolutely beautiful 😍
This line is so awesome 👌 The only one I don't like is Abyad 😞 I have it, but in my own defense, I do dust it off occasionally 😅 I confess I wear Azrad and love it! That cinnamon note is addictive to me. Ahmar has such a beautiful dry down. I have received so many compliments on this one (not Erba Pura).
Royal is one I don't have.
Elixir is Queen 👸 😍 💖 ❤️
So perfectly blended, no rough edges at all.
Tonka is perfection to me 😊
I have 2 backup bottles 😅
Now, Vanilla Toffee has matured perfectly for me, and I love the complexity and the entire olfactory journey of this fragrance. It is definitely for those who like serious complexity in their fragrances.
I love Aswad ❤️ sometimes the cumin note will get to me. That's short-lived, and the other notes take over. It's a love 😊 Thanx Simin. This review was spot on! Have you tried Areej Al Sheila and Sehr Al Sheila?
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Absolutely! I could not agree more. These DNA's have been around for ages and passed down for generation to generation. Ever since my nose can remember, I have smelled these since my childhood.
Hahaha I get it with Abyad being quite challenging. It is very masculine.
Azraq is probably one of the very few honey perfumes I love. I don't reach for Ahmar once but I agree, it s a crowd pleaser! I too get compliments when i wear it. I am currently obsessed with Tonka, Azraq, Aswad and Elixir ❤
I really hope my nose adjusts to Vanilla Toffee. It is a very complex perfume indeed and I would love to be able to wear it.
I did try Areej and Sehr Al Sheila in their shop. They are usually also available at very good prices. But unfortunately for me, they just don't do it. They are too generic traditional if you know what I mean.
Babe, thank you for taking time and sharing your thoughts with me ❤
Lovely ❤
We need more of specific brand entire range perfume reviews !!!
You're right my hun! It's fun to see all the different variations of a set, I will do this more often for you ❤
What a beautifull outfit, you look like a goddess to me. Thanks for your video, always so happy to watch. Hug from oversees, Holland dutch perfume-lady. 🥰
Thank you for showing me so much kindness my hun ❤ You have truly beautiful soul ❤
Sooooo much love from Dubai xo
Hi Simin, happy New Year. Thanks for reviewing this line, I’m definitely interested in the Shaghaf Elixir (I love the OG Shaghaf too) and the Oud Tonka sounds interesting. Have you tried the Arabiyat Prestige Aariz Absolu? I’m told it’s a really good dupe of Velvet Tonka too. I’m very curious about how they compare as I’m thinking of getting that one. The performance of the Arabian version is supposedly very good… I’d love your opinion on it. Thanks 🙏🏼!
Hey my beautiful hun ❤️
Happy New Year!!!
Unfortunately not yet. Lemme try and get my hands in it and review it for you.
That colour suits you Simin. I love Shaghaf Oud line.I got Ahmar Azraq and Tonka. Abyad and Aswad find them muscling .
Next I will get Vanilla Toffee when prices come down.
I'm waiting too...that price is a lil pricey... especially considering the reviews
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Thank youuuu ❤ Shaghaf Oud line is probably the only one I will ever collect and never declutter. Its a weird obsession lol. Is there any chance for you to sample Vanilla Toffee first?
@
Hard to get sample
Thank you, so much, for this wonderful review video! I'm so excited about some of these!! lol @myself
My hun ❤ I am so happy that you are getting ready to welcome them into your collection! Mindful purchases save so much future regrets ❤
Sim! I imagine you've tried Lattafa's Oud Mood. How do you think it compares to Shaghaf Oud or Oud Elixir? Mine just arrived and it's so gorgeous!
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
So Oud Mood and Shafhaf Oud OG are too similar to purchase both. Owning both would be redundant. On the other hand, while Elixir passes off as a flanker to Shaghaf Oud OG, it has a lot of added aromatics and complexities. Definitely worth a buy even if you own Oud Mood ❤ I hope this helps ❤
UP !!!
Thank you soooo much my friend ❤
Thank you for the Shaghaf Oud collection review, Sim! ❤
I love Shaghaf Oud Tonka. The sweetness is just enough for my liking. I really, really want to buy it, but the price! Is there even a chance they'll lower them now? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I still haven't bought a decant of Azraq because the decants are expensive as well. 😅 But its bottle is the most beautiful out of the entire line.
I think you earrings are pretty. I get what you're saying though. 😂 I won't wear them myself because I have small ears. I love wearing long, dangling ones, but not ones that will cover my ears. 😅
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤
Oh yes! Shaghaf Oud Tonka is definitely one of my favs. You need to catch them during a sale babe. The prices are definitely high for ME fragrances comparatively. OMG the Azraq bottle is so stunning! I remember when I first got it, I could not stop touching it lol.
Hahahaaa right?! 😂 You know my ears are super tiny as well. Like tiny tiny! So we share the pain with large earrings Hahaha!!! 😂😂😂
I have Lancome Oud Bouquet and Shaghaf Oud. I obviously love the DNA! Is the difference between Shaghaf Oud Elixir and the others mentioned, make it worth getting it? Or is it superfluous?
Hey beautiful,
In my opinion yes, it is worth it. Because of the aromatics in Elixir, the perfume is quite different. But it is definitely a flanker to the OG, so there will be similarities ❤ I must admit I barely wear OG after I received the Elixir though.
Shaghaf Oud is one of my biggest blind-buy fails, ha ha. Even after over a year of maturating, I just couldn't warm up to it.
Oh nooooo. Lol. It is a super sweet Oud and definitely not an easy blind buy. I hope you warm up to it someday hun ❤
just a random thought, would you make a fun video about similar(ish) looking perfume bottles but from different brands to see if packaging makes sense
Ooooooh this could be a lot of fun. Thank you for the idea babe. Lemme try and pile some together and see if it will work ❤ So much love your way xo
Ummm I think you've literally read my mind with this video 😅
Yayyyyy!!! I am so glad I posted this video when I did ❤️ It was highly due ❤️
Hi Simin. Please can you suggest for me an introductory oud (for woman or even unisex). I'm not familiar with oud and I want to get to know it and add it to my collection. People say to start off gently lol. I'd love suggestions for any middle eastern brands thank you so much! 🎉🎉
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Oh yes! Oud can be a hit or a miss for first time users lol. I am so glad you asked this question. I would start with Shaghaf Oud Elixir as a starter Oud. It has enough oud for it to be noticed but not obnoxious or animalic to cause an aversion. I hope this helps babe xo
I've found the Shaghaf line wasn't for me except Shaghaf Women, which is nothing like the others, but that's the only one I've kept 😅
Hey beautiful,
Shaghaf Oud line can be quite challenging for a lot of people, so you are not alone in it. I reviewed Shaghaf Woman and Man perhaps over a year ago and they were pleasant as well ❤
Thanks for sharing! The Vanilla Toffee I got a month ago and I still have that burnt (almost like burnt rubber) smell on me 😢 I might wait another few months ?
Oh babe! I know that feeling. I hope that it settles soon because mine smells burnt as well till date. I will not declutter it and keep trying to add it to maceration update videos for you.
@SiminShaikh fingers crossed!! Thanks for all your videos and yes, would be very interested in another update in a few months? 🙈🙏🏽
🧡🧡🧡
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤
Can you review Shaghaf Women by Swiss Arabian? (Clear bottle) I'd like to know your thoughts on it ❤
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤
I did a review on it but like a longtime ago. I remember it was nice but not ground breaking ❤
I'm keeping that vanilla toffee shagoff veeeeery far away from me. I could not do burnt sugar. By the way, you look stunning. Remember, positive affirmations in 2025. ❤
It's not just you, sis. I have two Vanilla Toffees directly from Swiss Arabian, same dates and batch codes.
One smells like a hot burnt mess, the other one smells... different, but I could see how someone might like it.
Make it make sense 🤷🏾♀️
I have noticed a lot of batch inconsistencies lately. I'm so sorry this has happened to you! ❤ Thanks for letting me know, coz even I kept wondering what was up with my nose.
Also, can I pls copy "Make it make sense"? It is such a good way to describe how sometimes we convince ourselves into liking a perfume ❤
@SiminShaikh lol, of course 🥰
❤
Hi dear
I dont know if that is just me, but you look diffent ,maybe your weight has changed. But as always you look awesome❤❤❤❤
Hey beautiful ❤
Thanks for noticing. I did loose a ton of weight. Around the same time last year I was almost 80kgs and I've dropped 15kgs less now. Still a few extra kgs to loose to reach my ideal weight. I was scared or my life last year lol ❤
Bought my sister first 3 the Abyad her husband won't wear it
Oh no why? It is so stunning! Is it too strong for him?
