Thank you so so much for sharing your honest thoughts and review of our Oudgasm Collection! We're so grateful for your support! Enjoy every last spritz, and don't forget to layer them all with love 😍💖
Thanks you jusderose. I like you "cool" attitude and you do not hesitate to tell what you feel even if the brand will not be happy. Please keep this freedom. It will be complex because some brands will put some pressure even indirect.
Why I am such a fan of Kayali is because they DO have a great range of fragrance profiles, (There's something for everyone) and I have never had a problem with their longevity and projection...I, in fact feel that they fall into the Niche category - BUT, Mona and the team have kept the prices so reasonable for the quality! Kayali is an affordable, niche fragrance house..that makes niche quality fragrances available to everyone! For that- I will always love and support them!
I was very nervous about Kayali Oud releases. I wasn’t sure if I liked Oud in perfumes. I ended up getting the Rose and Cafe. Both are very beautiful to me and I’m so glad I got them.
I really enjoy Kayali. Its different. I love that they are layerable. Vanilla oud and the cafe oud are amazing. I have a big collection and appreciate these fragrances for what they bring to the table.
I’ve been so curious about the new Kayali fragrances so thank you! The vanilla and the tobacco one sounds like they’re right up my alley. Josephine I love your blouse and the color is gorgeous!! Could you share where you bought it? ❤
Wow, what a fantastic video! You really made me want to try all these amazing fragrances. The ‘powdery vanilla’ note of the BDK perfume sounds so warm and cosy, like a hug in a bottle. I might switch from my Insolence to this one for the winter season 😊. I’m definitely going to experiment with burning oud chips at home and create my own scent atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us! Now I'm off to watch Part 1 that I missed last week 👀.
I think Kayali is one of the most easy reach niche fragrance brand for people who want to get into niche fragrances. Most of them are easy to understand, amazing to layer and a great value for money. Moreover if you look at the latest designer releases most of them (full sized bottles) are priced almost the same as niche but you don’t get that uniqueness.
Vanilla Oud was a scrubber for me. Ugh. So sickly sweet. I couldn't get it off my hand... even after multiple washes. In the end Cafe Oud was the one for me from that collection. Rose Oud was nice but I have other rose/oud fragrances and I feel like I don't need another. I appreciate Tabacco but not for me, I know I won't reach for it. Thanks for the video!
I missed you so much! Thanks for all content that you bring. I think that you are the most incredible fragrance influencer "on the market" and I'm so happy that I subscribed your channel. You bring knowledge but also joy and I've learnt so much with you. Perfumes are a passion for me, since ever and you made me put that passion to a next level. Thank you so much. Please, you need to come to Portugal❤
Sister you're looking too too gorgeous and I really really enjoyed watching this type of videos so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you have a best Monday 💫💖💓
Came back home after trying out Althair Parfums de Marly and have to say I am simply impressed. Even tough I agree smell is not something unique, but really warm,with just eight ammount of spice. Perfect going out perfume. And I can still smell it the next day on the clothes.The only thing i struggle with is either is this perfume I want to be smelling on my self or my boyfriend😅. Appreciate you new release videos,since I dont have same access in my country.
As a Muslim, I’m glad that Mona is making oud (and amber) mainstream. But at the same time, because oud and amber are such common ingredients in arabic perfumery, it kinda just reminds me of…. My old Muslim aunties and uncles 😂😂😭😭😭 I actively avoid frags with oud and amber now because of that association lol
I’m not Muslim but my husband is Pakistani and that’s what he always says about my perfumes that have too much oud or Amber in them 😂. I like them but I don’t wear them as much because it’s weird for him when I smell like that
Love your videos, and you speak so beautifully! Ysl myself is a pass for me, very synthetic. Althaïr surprisingly good, Especially in Dry Down. And I agree with you on Flora by Gucci, the Jasmine one smells better
Love your style & recommendations. Please do a vid on alternatives to discontinued gems. Still looking for an alternative to my fave le feu d'Issey light - would be delighted to have your recommendations!!
I got a sample of Al Thair with a recent purchase. I found it a bit too much - maybe because it's especially hot where I live? I also got my nose on the new Guerlain Tobacco Honey perfume. I personally struggle with the tobacco note, but I can say that this is one is elegantly done and doesn't punch you in the face.
Can you do a rose oud guide ? I do love Rose Oud from Kayali and I agree it is a good beginner perfume but I was expecting more from her. But I have to say, if you live in a humid climate that can get warm it is really nice because it doesnt get too sticky or animalic.
I’m not a fan of Pas ce Soir extrait but I’m curious with the original Pas ce soir. Btw, what is your opinion about imperial tuberose and Tonka Bean? I’m intrigue to buy either one of them and still can’t decide 😅❤.
The original pas ce soir is a pretty scent. I’m not completely mine blown by it either but much better than the extrait. Haven’t tried the tuberose one so couldn’t say
Love these videos! I completely agree with your assessment of BDK Pas Ce Soir Extrait which to me smells like a mess as well as Prada Paradoxe Intense. I prefer the original release.
Awww I love pas ce soir 🩷🩷🩷🩷 it’s crazy how noses are so different! It’s in my top 10 🩷 Absolutely haaaaaate the new Kayali range 🤢 Maybe the oud … smells dirty on my nose … and I can smell so much of the oud and zero vanilla 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Love ur channel 🥰
I found the orange blossom in Althair to dominate from top down and rather off-putting. I guess if you enjoy Orange Blossom, you’ll like this. I expected more from PDM.
Loved it, and really want to try the tea and food fragrance that sounds amazing as well as the oud machine! That looks really cool and I think it would be cool to start adding that to the repertoire :-) thank you for the great reviews!
I had sprayed L'interdit Rouge Ultime on my hand and went about my business, around 20 minutes later I started smelling smoke (as if something was burning), so I quickly ran to the kitchen to see if I had forgotten to turn off the stove. I suddenly got a whiff of my hand and sure enough it was the 'dry down' of Rouge Ultime and it smelled like incense burning!!! 🙄I got so grossed out because I really hate the smell of incense, so I went and washed off the stench! So weird!
Thank you for a great review 🥰 What was the name of the Kayali oud wood that you used for the bakhoor in this review? I was hoping to get one that would smell amazing in my home.
I recently discovered your channel and I am impressed 🤗 What is your opinion about Astrophil & Stella Shanghai 1930 Extrait de Perfume? Thank you so much 🙏
Random question, sorry, but I have to: where is your sapphire (?) ring from, Josephine? It kept grabbing my attention for the entire video ✨ Great recommendations as always!
Althair on the dry down smells exactly like Trussardi Passeggiata In Galleria Vittorio Emanuele to me! Has the same exactly smell after the spices in the opening disappear.
You need to review yves rochers perfumes and oriflame Sweden's perfumes !? You will gain another category of people which are Arabian people... Please do it 😊
Kayali is only really good for layering - and to be fair that was the whole marketing ploy, so reimagine what their use is and then you will appreciate them. As a stand-alone fragrance - for me hardly ever, but as a fragrance enhancer to switch things up, sure! Why not, it’s fun!
I really like BDK and was hoping to enjoy the Pas Ce Soir extrait but it really wasn't for me - I think I prefer the original perfumes to the extraits, I felt the same about Gris Charnel. I'm more excited about Kayali now, I can't wait to get a bottle of Cafe Oud!
*part two of my wallet crying* Kayali Tobacco Oud sounds amazing and i have added to my list lol. Also out of curiosity, what is a note in perfumery you cannot stand?
The funny thing about Paradoxe os that I own so many fragrances ranging from high end to Bath and Body mist and Paradoxe is my most complimented next to 540. Lol
I smell YSL Myslf and i was a bit disappointed. It is nice but does not bring something very new and smell breaking. But i did not try on skin. I would be happy to have everyone feedback ?
My favorite perfume (atm) is Empathy by THOO. Are any of the new Oud fragrances similar? Any other recommendations? Santal Basmati is my second favorite. 😊
Love the new PDM but the new MFK is a pass. The fennel comes off like fresh cut celery on my skin. It has the same effect as Malle’s Synthetic Jungle. Celery is ok to snack on but I don’t want to smell like it.
Tell me what to buy!!! I love spicy, peppery,woodsy, earthy, lead me ti one or 2 please!I recently followed the crowd and spent way too much on Baccarat extrat and it goes completely silent after 10 minutes. No scent, no hint of scent, just gone. Don’t want to make that mistake again. Please give me a hint as to watch by.
Kindly note that they share similarities. I never said they smell the same. For me, the patchouli and a sweet fruitiness smell the strongest for me hence the recommendation
Some of my thoughts, I've tried the 2 BDKs, the PDM and the MFK. I did try the Floraiku that came out alongside Lightspeed as well. Pas ce Soir Extrait to me was fine in terms of scent, but it's the lack of originality and the designer copycatting that has to stop. Main accords I got were pear & chocolate aka take any mix of your favorite JPG, Lancome and Mugler. Vanille Leather, arguably even more boring - smelled like a dark woody white floral scent with mild vanilla. As for the new Marly: to me, that scent is a waste - a vanilla scent with a prominent orange blossom note, I can't figure out why they released it in the men's line. Quite feminine leaning from the laundry detergent florals on my skin, reminds me a bit of Silky Woods/Note Vanillee with hints of Safanad. Lastly, have tried Aqua Media and to me, it's just meh. It's a citrusy tea scent, not as sophisticated as Wulong Cha. But it's fine. I haven't smelled Lightspeed, but have smelled Boyish and that one did also have a lemon honey spoon / tea vibe. And dare I say it was quite enjoyable - I ended up doing a 180 on it after the 2nd wear.

Thanks. I’ve never received pressure and push back from brands for speaking out what I think of their perfumes. And even if I did I wouldn’t care!
Ty so much for all the love!! Enjoy every last drop cutie ❤❤
You pronounced bukhoor really well! ☺️
Layering oud perfumes over bukhoor (clothes, hair etc) makes everything smell even better
Yay! Thank you 🥰

Good stuff Josephine! I'm really interested in that Bakhoor thing, I really want to get one now.
The beautiful Jus.
You are effortlessly gorgeous and your recommendations are the best!
Hello from Ghana 🇬🇭
Hi!! Thank you so much for tuning in 🥰❤️
2 videos in a row… LOVEEEE❤
And many more to come ❤️
Althair sounds like it’s exactly what I’m on the hunt for. Spicy vanilla is my favorite genre.
I was very nervous about Kayali Oud releases. I wasn’t sure if I liked Oud in perfumes. I ended up getting the Rose and Cafe. Both are very beautiful to me and I’m so glad I got them.
I just adore this series!
I really enjoy Kayali. Its different. I love that they are layerable. Vanilla oud and the cafe oud are amazing. I have a big collection and appreciate these fragrances for what they bring to the table.
I love the new euphoria one, so sensual ❤❤❤
I’ve been so curious about the new Kayali fragrances so thank you! The vanilla and the tobacco one sounds like they’re right up my alley. Josephine I love your blouse and the color is gorgeous!! Could you share where you bought it? ❤
Thank you Jill! The satin blouse is from Zara ☺️

HAHAHA girl you chose VIOLENCE on Prada! So funny and refreshing

Love the dominant energy you're exuding in this vid
Great video as always😍
I have to say that green color looks great on you 10/10

@@marcellalees8292 yes!!! Only Muslims or Arabs will understand lol
Can’t wait for the vanilla perfume video!I managed to get a decant of Babycat and I looove it! I need recommendations for a more affordable dupe!
I’m glad you like Athair I just picked mine up yesterday from Scent Bar/Lucky Scent I get big compliments from both Men & Women
Both BDK’s are stunning in my honest humble opinion.
agreed!
Love your videos, and you speak so beautifully!
Ysl myself is a pass for me, very synthetic.
Althaïr surprisingly good, Especially in Dry Down.
And I agree with you on Flora by Gucci, the Jasmine one smells better
lolol i trust your nose my friend! when you said pas ce soir extrait was bad, i took it off my 'want' list. $ saved for something else :D
Love your style & recommendations. Please do a vid on alternatives to discontinued gems. Still looking for an alternative to my fave le feu d'Issey light - would be delighted to have your recommendations!!
I don't get BR540 from Rouge Chaotique at all... It's quite tart and fruity and almost winey from the plum
I got a sample of Al Thair with a recent purchase. I found it a bit too much - maybe because it's especially hot where I live? I also got my nose on the new Guerlain Tobacco Honey perfume. I personally struggle with the tobacco note, but I can say that this is one is elegantly done and doesn't punch you in the face.

Original Pas Ce Soir is so beautiful! One of my absolute favourites. Sexy playful 👌
My signature scent. It’s so juicy and addictive… such a compliment getter 🥰
I like the original Pas Ce Soir, but Extrait smells plasticky and too much, really not a fan
The original pas ce soir is a pretty scent. I’m not completely mine blown by it either but much better than the extrait. Haven’t tried the tuberose one so couldn’t say
Love these videos! I completely agree with your assessment of BDK Pas Ce Soir Extrait which to me smells like a mess as well as Prada Paradoxe Intense. I prefer the original release.
Love you overview of these fragrances 💖
Awww I love pas ce soir 🩷🩷🩷🩷 it’s crazy how noses are so different! It’s in my top 10 🩷
Absolutely haaaaaate the new Kayali range 🤢
Maybe the oud … smells dirty on my nose … and I can smell so much of the oud and zero vanilla 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Love ur channel 🥰
I love this format
I love this video! Extremely helpful!
I found the orange blossom in Althair to dominate from top down and rather off-putting. I guess if you enjoy Orange Blossom, you’ll like this. I expected more from PDM.
Love the video! Thank you for this in-depth review 😊
After this I can now go ahead and get the Kayali Tobacco Oud!!🥰
Loved it, and really want to try the tea and food fragrance that sounds amazing as well as the oud machine! That looks really cool and I think it would be cool to start adding that to the repertoire :-) thank you for the great reviews!

Thank you for a great review 🥰 What was the name of the Kayali oud wood that you used for the bakhoor in this review? I was hoping to get one that would smell amazing in my home.
The one I have is scented with café oud but I think it’s available in all 4 scents (the same as the eau de Parfums)
Love your channel! Would love a review of dedcool fragrances
Kinda just watching the video because I love listening to her French 😌 ❤ 😊
I recently discovered your channel and I am impressed 🤗
What is your opinion about Astrophil & Stella
Shanghai 1930
Extrait de Perfume?
Thank you so much 🙏
Another amazing video with so many information, thank you so much
Random question, sorry, but I have to: where is your sapphire (?) ring from, Josephine? It kept grabbing my attention for the entire video ✨
Great recommendations as always!
It’s my engagement ring. My husband and I got it custom made
Thanks for your review of the oudgasm collection! I’m most interested in Tobacco Oud and Cafe oud 🍂☕️🪵
Both perfect for fall 🥰
Hi, maybe I’m just stupid to find it and you mentioned it, but I’m really interested in that diffuser where you placed the oud chips in. 💚
Great reviews.. thank you!😊
Wow . . . big investments
Very interesting. . . thanks for sharing :)
I recently purchased PDM Althair, love at first snip, it reminds me of Pegasus with a kick of vanilla
Althair on the dry down smells exactly like Trussardi Passeggiata In Galleria Vittorio Emanuele to me! Has the same exactly smell after the spices in the opening disappear.
You need to review yves rochers perfumes and oriflame Sweden's perfumes !?
You will gain another category of people which are Arabian people...
Please do it 😊
Great list Jus👍
What do you think of the new YSL Libre flanker platine?
she covers it in one of her recent “new perfume” reviews :) I think essentially she found it very similar to the rest of the Libre flankers.
I did a video on a it - have a look at some of my other new fragrances ranked videos 🫶🏼
is the Kayali Tobacco Oud less or more sweet than Dior Tobacolor? are they different enough to enjoy both? x
Bubblegum and Nesquik you say... 🤔🤤 Followed by iced verbena lemonade?!!! 🤯😵🪦🤣 Love the descriptions.
🤷🏼♀️😅
Yayyyyy This is so helpful ❤❤❤ Thanks Josephine ❤❤❤
Can you please make a video on raspberry leather perfums?
I love this video, very good products
Kayali is only really good for layering - and to be fair that was the whole marketing ploy, so reimagine what their use is and then you will appreciate them. As a stand-alone fragrance - for me hardly ever, but as a fragrance enhancer to switch things up, sure! Why not, it’s fun!
I love the chart!
I expect to see Shalimar Iris, I wish you will review it soon
Would you say Vanille Leather is unisex? I got so excited by the name, but then I saw the notes and they seem quite feminine and floral...
Unisex leaning a touch feminine
Great vid !! 🎉 excited to try the BDK
I really like BDK and was hoping to enjoy the Pas Ce Soir extrait but it really wasn't for me - I think I prefer the original perfumes to the extraits, I felt the same about Gris Charnel. I'm more excited about Kayali now, I can't wait to get a bottle of Cafe Oud!
Tobacco Oud is fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have a link or the name of the Bukhoor pieces you talked about-thanks!
Hi beauty girl. just to ask, if you ever tried L'Artisan Parfumeur La Chasse aux Papillons Extrême?
*part two of my wallet crying*
Kayali Tobacco Oud sounds amazing and i have added to my list lol. Also out of curiosity, what is a note in perfumery you cannot stand?
Anything with the slight addition of cumin. Immediate gag reflex 😭
Love these videos 👏
Love your videosssss ❤❤❤
How does Lightspeed compare to BDK Gris charnel?
The funny thing about Paradoxe os that I own so many fragrances ranging from high end to Bath and Body mist and Paradoxe is my most complimented next to 540. Lol
I smell YSL Myslf and i was a bit disappointed. It is nice but does not bring something very new and smell breaking. But i did not try on skin. I would be happy to have everyone feedback ?
go spray it on skin and make your own mind based on YOUR body chemistry
On skin is delightful. Try it for yourself too
My favorite perfume (atm) is Empathy by THOO. Are any of the new Oud fragrances similar? Any other recommendations? Santal Basmati is my second favorite. 😊
Haven’t tried empathy so couldn’t say. Hopefully someone can help!
Cant believe you dont like Pas Ce Soir Extrait my goodness, give it sometime.
Love the new PDM but the new MFK is a pass. The fennel comes off like fresh cut celery on my skin. It has the same effect as Malle’s Synthetic Jungle. Celery is ok to snack on but I don’t want to smell like it.
Love your accent! Where’s are you from?
Tell me what to buy!!! I love spicy, peppery,woodsy, earthy, lead me ti one or 2 please!I recently followed the crowd and spent way too much on Baccarat extrat and it goes completely silent after 10 minutes. No scent, no hint of scent, just gone. Don’t want to make that mistake again. Please give me a hint as to watch by.
“Verbena lemonade”, somewhere in… Mystic Falls 😂😂😂❤
😂😂😂 “verveine” (choking voice effect)
Where can I buy that oudgasm burner ?
Please talk about dolce & gabbana the only one women's line and l'impératrice 3
I can't wait to sample the Memo Peach.
It’s delicious 🤤
I own the aqua media and I love that one! But it is very expensive like every mfk. But I would buy it again if I finished my bottle.
Althair is pronounced "Alta-ear" or "All-tayeer," as in Arabic.
Thank you 😁
Thank you 😊 very helpfull
@@jusderose and pronounced likewise in French Josephine ! ;) it's the name of a star
I layered two shots of Althaïr and one shot of Layton, and i'm pretty sure i just died.
Is Althair as good a vanilla as Layton?
Althair smells very similar to a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Think I'll have to give it a pass then.
Funny enough I don’t find Layton too vanilla… both perfumes sit in a different olfactive territory
I get almost nothing but vanilla from Layton and Layton Exclusif. Herrod too but it has a bit of cherry as well.
Are you try jpg le male elixir ?
I love so much Poirier d'un soir and do not like BDK Pas ce soir extrait. How can you compare both perfumes?I do not understand .
Kindly note that they share similarities. I never said they smell the same. For me, the patchouli and a sweet fruitiness smell the strongest for me hence the recommendation
PDM Althair smells like cheap Halloween Candy Corn. Or if pumpkin spice lattes started wearing socks and crocs.
Try the smoke of the oud chips on ur Hair and clothes 😍 and thank me Later
The dream 😍😍😍
LOVEE Kayali so much! I wanna sample the whole oudgasm collection but it’s so expensive 😭
There are smaller bottles available for £30 I believe
Can you please review never ending love by Thomas Kosmala ?
Some of my thoughts, I've tried the 2 BDKs, the PDM and the MFK. I did try the Floraiku that came out alongside Lightspeed as well.
Pas ce Soir Extrait to me was fine in terms of scent, but it's the lack of originality and the designer copycatting that has to stop. Main accords I got were pear & chocolate aka take any mix of your favorite JPG, Lancome and Mugler. Vanille Leather, arguably even more boring - smelled like a dark woody white floral scent with mild vanilla. As for the new Marly: to me, that scent is a waste - a vanilla scent with a prominent orange blossom note, I can't figure out why they released it in the men's line. Quite feminine leaning from the laundry detergent florals on my skin, reminds me a bit of Silky Woods/Note Vanillee with hints of Safanad. Lastly, have tried Aqua Media and to me, it's just meh. It's a citrusy tea scent, not as sophisticated as Wulong Cha. But it's fine. I haven't smelled Lightspeed, but have smelled Boyish and that one did also have a lemon honey spoon / tea vibe. And dare I say it was quite enjoyable - I ended up doing a 180 on it after the 2nd wear.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
