She is the finest perfume reviewer on TH-cam: Well read in olfactory issues, well-researched fragrances, and the softest voice on line, what is there not to like?
Hi sweetie pie. I realize that you love spicy perfumes. I love Majd Al Sultan Asdaaf; I bought this few years ago because of you mentioning this (it started selling off and recommended after you mentioned it as first person on yt). I knew a long time that you loved Queed too. And finally I ordered this today. I also ordered Asad. Do you know the real difference between Asad and Queed? I have about 380 perfumes in my collection. Very diverse too. In winter time I adore spicy scents. God bless your heart a thousand times ❤️🙏
Alhamdulillah habibati they don’t know that In the Middle East, we don’t limit fragrances by gender or season-everyone wears what they love, whenever they choose. Much like niche fragrance profiles, the ideas of gender and season in perfumery are primarily Western concepts. Fragrance is an integral part of our culture and way of life, so we often apply it generously, making it a true expression of who we are.
Glad to hear you're enjoying this combo, Qaa'ed works great as a base layered with sweeter fragrances, it gives the scent that extra feminine touch 🌠 Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
This was the first "Lattafa" fragrance I encountered in Kuwait back in 2018. I didn't buy it then because I could not appreciate the depth and marvelous fragrance notes contained within it. This fragrance remained on my mind...and my "Wanted" list for 6 years. Now...6 years later...I am ready. And it is as beautiful as I imagined. Better than all of the Incensey, oudy, spicy fragrances that I've bought in these 6 years. Qaa'ed is amazing...
Oh my god. This was an absolute delight. I bought it after your review, I am addicted. After your opinion on Swiss Arabian combo I can’t wait to try them. I am so grateful to you for this.
My pleasure dear, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying Qaa'ed so much!! 🎊It's such an unapologetic fragrance that I feel like you either a love or hate. If you ever feel like you want to spice it up and make it sweeter layer it with a vanilla forward fragrance, they work so so well together. Also let me know your thoughts on the combo from Swiss Arabian, would love to hear your feedback on it. Thank you for watching ❤️🌹
I could swear you would give a thorough review of this fragrance and even love it. I've read the notes, decided that I like the perfume , but I've been waiting for the opinion of an expert with a real feeling for Middle Eastern fragrances! Big thanks!
You are so kind, but by no mens am I an expert, I am just a fragrance lover❤️ I really do love it, it's a fragrance that's worth trying for sure if you are into middle eastern fragrances. Wishing you an amazing day!🤗🤗
I bought this and I regret nothing it's really good. I can tell something good is in this. I think it's the cinnamon and the amber. The vanilla is very good. This is so mysteriously good. Thank you for recommending this!
I got qaeed in 30 ml. And I think I will probably order 2 100ml soon. Absolutely beautiful fragrance. This is so classy, regal and opulent fragrance. If this was put in a By Killian bottle this would easily sell for 300-400 euros. Thanks for the recommending a truly unique and classy scent.
I'm so so happy you're enjoying it, it does smell very opulent and luxurious. ❤I totally agree, this could be sold for way more and people would still buy it! 😊
So so happy to hear that dear, if you would like to give it an extra feminine touch layer it with something vanilla based, works so well.💫 Thank you for watching ❤️🌹
Once again purchased on your recommendation and once again thank you so much for the recommendation. Slightly sweet and spicy in the beginning and then smokey oud - absolutely amazing!
You are by far the best fragrance reviewer on youtube! I’m very unsure with this one. Is it somehow comparable with Sheikh al Shuyuk which love so much? Or which one would you recommend someone loving the Sheikh but hating the Ameerat al arab?
Thank you for your kind words my dear,I am happy to hear you feel that way and you resonate with my videos! 🤗🌹 Both Sheikh al Shuyukh Luxe & Oaa'ed are statement fragrances but scent wise they go in different directions, SAS is all about a rich rose accord spiced by some cinnamon with a sweet complex base while Qaa'ed feels more incensy and sweet spicy with a leathery undertone. Even thought they don't smell similar I would still recommend you to test it, look up a sample or decant of it and see how you feel about it, to me it smells very unique. If you love Sheikh al Shuyukh I would highly recommend you to test as well Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian & Gharam by Junaid Perfumes, look them up and see if they look like something you'd enjoy.
Literally got this in today and YES, it's incredible!!! Reminds my of MY LOVE Givenchy Indecence (the OG not reformulated) THIS is VERY close. It's beautiful.
I am so happy you found a fragrance that reminds you of a well loved fragrance in your collection, enjoy it to the fullest dear 💫 Thank you for watching 🌹❤
Just got this last week..its actually good..cinnamon & cardamom blast in the opening, vanilla, leather & oud in dry down..and it actually lasts for a long time..an underrated gem from lattafa
This fragrance is perfection to me!! Also, thank you so much for your review on Majd Al Sultan - this is THEE ONE!! My signature scent, my husband absolutely loves it on me, and I do love it so much. I can't stop inhaling this beauty!! I am glad to subscribe your channel:)
Dear this makes me so happy!! ❤ What a beautiful feeling when you find fragrances that represent you and they become your signature scents, I'm glad I could play a part in that 🤗 I love both as well and they're such unique offerings, they stand out for sure 🌟
@@AFragrantGlance I Fully agree! I bought Majd Al Sultan because of your recommendation and I love it. The Balsam Fir note is quite prominent and blends beautifully with the other notes, especially Myrrh! What fragrance did you recommend layering with Majd Al Sultan?
THANKS for this review, your passion pushed me to buy this beautiful fragrance. It arrived yesterday and it fits your description like no other, I totally get the sweet incense sticks vibe and I love it. Also I find Qaa'ed rather masculine, but I think it fits very well women so confident and classy like you. Btw, I wish there were more reviewers like you in the male fragrances community, you look very joyful, honest and passionate!
This is my first winter with Qa'ed and it's gone masculine, spicy-green. In the summer it was unisex, spicy-vanilla-incense. I think I'll use this in the summer. I don't like it in cold weather.
If you have any sweet rich vanilla forward fragrances try to layer them with Qaa'ed and I think it will help a lot with the green aspect and it will make it more enjoyable. I enjoyed reading your feedback on Qaa'ed, thank you for watching dear ❤🌹
Thank you for this. I got 10ml of Qaed few days ago because I really like unisex perfumes. But this one for me was too masculine. It reminded me of my grandpa hahaha but now I added some roll-on I have with vanilla and it smells nicer, will keep trying with other fragrances. @@AFragrantGlance
I took delivery of my lattafa Qaeed today .. and I must say .. it's mind blowing.. lovely fragrance and very long lasting.. if u love oud mood, u re surely gonna love this bad boy... It's really worth buying. Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching! ❤ Yes, Qaa'ed is very unique, I enjoy it a lot as well, it's one of the most unique offerings from Lattafa. So happy to hear you enjoy it as well 💫
Thank you for recommending this Fragrance, the more I wear it, the more inlove I become. Hands down the best Lattafa I own. I've even fallen inlove with the bottle design which I was neutral about upon unboxing. An absolute gem. I mate of mine smelt it, who is quite familiar with oudh, and he remarked that; if the oudh in it is synthetic, it is the best synthetic version on the market. Truly blended to perfection. Definitely backup bottle worthy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this scent, I'm so happy you're enjoying it dear, it truly is a gem ❤️ It's one of the most unique fragrances from Lattafa that I've tried 🌟
I would love to hear your feedback on it, my advice would be to let it sit for a while and give it time. 🌠 Lots of middle eastern fragrances need to sit a bit and macerate, first few sprays can come out quite sharp & flat. Thank you for watching ❤️
Great video! I ordered Qaa'ed because of your review, and let me tell you, this is the bomb!!!! I love this fragrance and I love the bottle also. From the first blast to the dry down this fragrance is soooo good!! Your recommendations are the best, girl!! This is pow 👊 I love it so much!
Thank you for watching dear ❤️ Ohh I'm so so happy you're loving Qaa'ed, it's not a safe blind buy and it's for sure one of those fragrances with a lot of personality but it's so beautiful 🌟
QAA'ED is fantastic. I have had it for several months and can agree that it's wonderful on it's own, but very certainly does layer well with other fragrances. Believe it or not, the first time I smelled it I thought it was like "Old Spice" wanted to be when it grows up, so I layered it with a 1980s version of Old Spice Cologne that I have... Let me tell you that it's SUBLIME. Also, it turns out that I think it pairs incredibly well with Raghba Wood Intense. It's turned out to be one of my favorite scents... And on my skin, it "works" for me during Summer. Cheers! Keep up with the great reviews.
I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying it as well.💫Yes, it works so well on it's own as well as layered with other fragrances. I never thought of layering it with Raghba Wood Intense but I will give it a try cause I have that one in my collection and I am not using it. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts on this fragrance❤️
@@AFragrantGlance hi! Yes... Please try it over the Wood Intense... It's also pretty magnificent UNDER Ameer Al Oudh. And if you can get your hands on a small VINTAGE (pre-1990s) bottle of Old Spice, preferably the cologne concentration manufactured by Shulton... They sold out to Proctor and Gamble in 1990 or so... And it's not been the same since, about a hundred reformulations and even more cheapening. Anyhow... Layering the QAA'ED underneath the Old spice intensifies the spice and sweetness of the Old Spice, layering the QAA'ED over the Old Spice, it tones down the powderiness of the Old Spice, but adds a sweet kick to the QAA'ED.... Incredibly interesting how the QAA'ED works so differently with various other perfumes, and even more interesting how it works when either under or over the different fragrances. I don't believe I've ever owned a fragrance that acts like the QAA'ED does. Here's hoping that all is well with you and yours. Cheers!
Thank you for this video. I want to try this. As a Chanel woman, I feel this will be my next favorite. I imagine this fragrance will be wonderful. I hope so. I love Middle Eastern scents. This may be a good one for me. Thanks.
Thank you for watching 🌹❤ If it's possible try to look for a sample and test it first to see if it's something that works for you. Let me know your thoughts on it if you get to try it, I hope you'll enjoy it 💫
Thanks for the review, I blind bought this one and received it yesterday. First reaction: nope, not for me, too much leather and reminds me a lot of Shaghaf Oud Abyad (white bottle). But your review did help me to see the scent from another perspective, and I applied it on my skin while listening to you. I do see the "lightened incense stick" vibe now, and can appreciate the scent. I don't know if I'll keep it still, but thank you !! I always appreciate listening to your videos. Greetings from France !!
Greeting to you as well, thank you for watching ❤Happy to hear that my video helped you see the fragrance from a different perspective and I appreciate your honest feedback 🌠 If you still have it in your collection I would highly advise you to layer it with a rich vanilla forward fragrance and it would bring out that beautiful sweet spicy vanilla touch and it will make it more wearable.
@@AFragrantGlance you welcome, and it's also compliment magnet, whenever I wear this gem I receive more than 4 compliments in a day, I believe it smells so good on the air.
Omg, just got this and I'm in love! I have tested Creed Royal Oud a couple of times (no staying power) and this has the bits I like best with a heap of cardamom. I feel like this is going to be my new signature scent! I've layered with amber nuit oil from Ammar's Fragrances (definitely worth a look at their samples if you are in UK).
I've just discovered your wonderful channel. Your enthusiasm and love for the fragrances is so infectious. I have just purchased Qaa'ed and must agree with you it is a beautiful fragrance.I am really loving fragrances from the Middle East,they are so much better than the" commercial " western fragrances that I smell everywhere. I am looking forward to watching all your previous videos this evening.Thank you so much for your informative and fun videos.Good luck for the future.
Comments like this make my day better!!❤️🤗 Welcome dear and thank you so much for your beautiful words!! I am happy so you're enjoying Qaa'ed, it's a stunning fragrance. I can't wait to get the full bottle and to start experimenting with it and to layer it. I am thinking of layering with one with a vanilla scented body lotion to bring up the vanilla more. Have you tried layering with this one? I am glad you're enjoying my videos dear!! 🎉
@@AFragrantGlance I really didn't understand the layering routine but I'm now a whole lot wiser after watching one of your videos,thank you for that. The past couple of years I've been purchasing oils from a wonderful company here in England called Perfume Parlour.They sell very impressive dupes like Nasommoto,By Killian and Byredo as well as some beautiful Middle Eastern fragrances and thanks to your fantastic educational videos I shall be layering with,hopefully,great results,so fingers crossed ! Earlier today I ordered your recommended fragrance Majd Al Sultan which cost under £20 ! How ecstatic I was to find it at such a great price ! Thank you again for introducing me to the exotic delights of Middle Eastern fragrances. Count me as one of your number one fans ! Avidly waiting for your next video.Take care and keep safe.😍
@@jackiehitchcock6447 Your comment went straight to my heart, thank you!❤️❤️ I am so happy that I get to help people through my videos, and that you find them educational. Let me know how you feel about Majd al Sultan, I really hope you will enjoy it, make sure to give it time. If you need any help with layering I am more than happy to give you some guidance, either here either on Instagram at @afragrantglance. Wishing you an amazing day my dear and stay safe 🤗
@@AFragrantGlance Thank so much,you are so enchanting. You'll be the first person I tell when Majd all Sultan has been tested. Thanks for the invitation to help with the layering,that is so kind of you. Take care and keep safe.
Thank you so much for recommending, this was a very successful blind buy for me, which exceeded my expectations because it is strikingly similar to Penhaligon's Babylon which costs £200. It smells seductive and expensive. You are amazing
So so happy to hear you're enjoying it dear ❤🤗 It's one of my favourites from Lattafa, such a unique scent. I've never tried Babylon but amazing to know they share simialar vibes. What I love to do from time to time is to layer it with a vanilla forward fragrance to bring out the spices & vanilla and to give it an extra feminine touch, I layer it with Moattar Dhahab usually. Thank you for watching ❤💫
After seeing many of ur videos I got raghba, sheikh shuyukh luxe & oud mood. Loving all these esp sheikh al shuyukh it’s really amazing. I can see why it’s your holy grail I remember u saying that u finished 2 bottles of this and will continue to repurchase. Your recommendations are on point. I will try this qaeed in the future. But I’m wanting to try majd al sultan after ur recommendation and it’s very hard to get it in India. Btw loving your videos👍
I am so happy you're enjoying my recommendations! Someone's taste in fragrance is very personal so I am always beyond happy when people end up loving my recommendations. Yes, Sheikh al Shuyukh Luxe is the one that is very close to my heart. 🥰 Let me know how you feel about them, I hope you will enjoy them, thank you for your support!! 🎉
@Beatnik Records so glad you’re enjoying this. I want to get my hands on this. Hope I’ll find it here soon. I love each of her videos, so sweet and love the way she explains each perfume.
Thank you for watching dear! ❤️ Let me know your thoughts on this fragrance, it's an amazing fragrance for spice lovers, if you want to give it an extra feminine touch layer it with Golden Sands by Al Rehab or any other vanilla based fragrance oil 🌟
Yess, I love that about it!!❤️ I hope to get that vibe in the coder months as well. But keep in mind that the scent itself it not very harsh, it's on the wearable side
Just received this today. It stays masculine, but still gorgeous!, on my skin for a very loooong time. Maybe half an hour later after the initial spray the "roughness" dampers off and vanilla, the spices and a touch of leather shines through on my skin. I will have to test it a whole day to be sure, but I actually was blown away by its deliciousness even seconds after the first spray, even though it stayed masculine on my skin for a very, very long time. Qaa'ed is simply beautiful, so I hope I will be able to make it work for me. There is a huge potential at least :)
Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it! ❤️ Indeed, it's such a beautiful fragrance, you should try to layer it with a vanilla fragrance oil or a vanilla dominant fragrance to give it a touch of femininity 🤗
@@AFragrantGlance I do just that after your excellent recommendation, and it works wonders ❤️ Sometimes I even (also) layer it with an Al Haramain Musk oil I just purchased, and they work so well together, I think. The leather note in Qaa'ed makes it a bit masculine, but I actually do love the leather note, and it is such an amazingly well blended perfume, so I don't mind at all - especially since I am able to "woman it a bit more up" myself 😊 And thank you for replying. I cherish that 🤗
Thank you for this and you have helped me so much with fragrances, after I ordered I realize that I have the same taste as you. I love this one so much, as well as three others you have recommended. xxSerena
Always lovely to hear you reviews, please can you share some tips on macerating perfumes? I just got this and it doesn’t smell like you described…I guess it needs some maceration? Please share your thoughts
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤ Usually when I want to let a fragrance macerate I do 7 8 sprays if it's more affordable, if it's pricier then I do less and I just let it sit in a cool dry & dark place for a few months and I try to forget about it for a while cause I'm very impacient and it takes a good few months to see changes. You could try to do this with Qaa'ed as well or if you have a vanilla forward fragrance then layer the two and it will amplify the sweetness of the fragrance even more 💫
@@AFragrantGlance thank you so much dear. I will try this and see, I loved the dna the first time I sprayed it but it took a while to develop on my skin and smelled very leathery in the opening. I am in the process of discovering new scent profiles on me, so glad to have found your channel 💕
Welcome!! ❤ Yes, I am planning on experimenting more with oud oils but I am still at the beggining of my oud journey I would say, I still have a lot to learn about oud. Thank you for watching 🤗
The opening is exactly the same as of the niche perfume L'amateur Amado Unisex, middle notes and base notes are about 90% the same. Amado has roses instead of carnation and a dash more of incense than Qaaed and patchouli, which Qaaed doesn`t have. But Qaaed performes such as good and smells just as "niche". I bought Qaaed for 15€, while Amado costs 198€. Looking at the price difference, I gladly miss out on the more intense incense and patchouli notes, if I still do want those, I can still layer Qaaed with a perfume that is more on the patchouli side to achieve 99% Amado. Thx for introducing this very underrated masterpiece by Lattafa. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for sharing dear, I had no idea it was similar to L'amateur Amado. . Qaa'ed is such a unique fragrance, I've never came across anything that smells like this. To me, Qaa'ed along with Sheikh al Shuyukh are some of the best offerings from Lattafa!! Happy to hear you're enjoying so much the fragrance ❤️❤️🤗
I have been using this perfume from last one year and let me tell you in the opening you can't smell vanilla.Its a cardamom bomb.very refined blend of cardamom+cinnamon and ginger.In dry down you can smell vanilla.amazing fragrance and very addictive.
@@zainaissa4791 it's not a modern blend.i would describe it a typical middle eastern fragrance.This is definitely not mass appealing/blind buy worthy fragrance and it's only meant for matured noses.i would say if you have some experience with middle eastern fragrances then go for it otherwise look for some other options and yes it has a very strong note of incense.
Great to know about this fragrance by you ..i was planning to it bt as u said that it has a middle eastern vibe to it n also iam not into the velvety , leathery fragrance , iam much into the typical sweet feminine kind of fragrance so it make me clear that is not for me ..thanqu gurl ❤️
Hi dear, yes it does have a strong middle eastern vibe and it also leans quite unisex. From what we've spoke so far in the comments I don't think you would enjoy this one, only if you were to layer it with more feminine scents but I don't know if it's worth the effort. Better to try fragrances that suit your taste better. Thank you for watching lovely!! ❤️❤️
The way you describe the fragrances you love makes me want to try them all🤩😬 But the only “oud” i have tried i didn’t love, oud vainille by frank olivier and club d nuit. i was deciding to order oud mood by lattafa or shagad oud from your other video recommendations but i am kind of indecisive bc on fragantica those perfumes remind others to oud vanille😅😬 Waiting to receive q essence, rawaa and all you need is passion ❤️🤩 i think these are safe for me☺️
You are such a sweetheart, this one is amazing but I think it will lean too unisex for your taste in fragrances ❤️ Then it's best to not order them or try to get a decant is possible, cause with oud is a bit tricky, it's best to start with small more wearable ones to get a feel of it. Let me know how you feel about your new fragrances when they arrive!! 😍😍 I hope you'll enjoy them!
I don’t have this yet but it’s in my next order! Thank you for sharing. Very informative video. And I will be sure to layer it with our favorite scent! And you know what that is you mentioned it lol. 🌹
Let me know what you think of it dear, if you find it too masculine leaning definitely layer it with Moattar Dhahab and it will bring out the best in Qaa'ed 🎊 Thank you for watching my dear, I always appreciate your support ❤️🌹🤗
@@AFragrantGlance I love it on its own! I haven’t layered it so far with anything!Yes I do have both men and female versions. But I will just to make a different fragrance! Thank you giving good ideas about fragrances. Have a Awesome week!!! ♥️🌹
Great review! So detailed. Can only come from someone who has really spent time with a fragrance. I appreciate it a lot! :) I will give this one a try. Greetings from Germany!
Ohh what a shame, but I'm sure it will be restocked in the near future as it's quite a popular fragrance ❤ It's a great scent, if you're into more unique unisex middle eastern scents you wil really enioy it. Thank you for watching 🤗
I bought the 30ml version and it smells too manly. I'm not sure how this is unisex unless you like masculine scents. Reminds me of Lattafa Velvet Oud but with spices and some sweetness. But still quite aftershave type of scent. The cedar and leather are quite prominent.
That's very interesting! On my skin I get the most the vanilla, the spices and the amber, and this smoky vibe. On me the leather, oud and woody accords are there in the background only to support the other notes. ❤ Maybe try to give it time and test it more, test it in the summer to see if it gives you tha same vibe. Thank you for watching! 🤗 (but I do have to mention that I love incensy smoky fragrances)
Was introduced to your channel in my feed today, and I really enjoy your reviews a lot. I just ordered this one based on your review, and will not hold it against you if I do not enjoy it ;-) But it just sounds absolutely wonderful and unique. My skin tends to eat up most fragrances so in generel I enjoy the more potent scents, and since autumn is on its way here in Denmark, I truly believe I will like wearing this
Thank you so much and welcome dear 🤗 I think it will work beautiful for the colder months! My skin does the same, I always have to moisturise first. You could put a vanilla scented moisturiser first then spray this one on top, cause dry skin and cold weather paired together eat all fragrances quicker. Let me know how you feel about this one ❤️
It's very loud, at least the batch that I have in my collection. I haven't worn it alone in a long time but from what I remember it lasted more than 6-7h on my skin and the projection was very good in the first few hours. Thank you for watching ✨
Yess, I do find it very sexy as well! ❤ It's a very unique and well made fragrance for such an affordable price. I can't wait to get a full bottle and to wear it 🎉
I love it, it's a very unique offering from Lattafa, but get it only if you enjoy unisex incensy fragrances ❤️❤️ But my guess is that if you already love Oud Aswad you will enjoy Qaa'ed as well
Hi and thank you very much, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! ❤️ From Lattafa I haven't come across any fragrance that's similar to Oud Ispahan by Dior, but if you're looking for something similar check out Gold Oud Edition by Pascal Morabito (heavier on oud) or Oud Touch by Frank Olivier (not as heavy on oud). I have a video in which I compare the two, look them up and see if they vibe with you.
@@AFragrantGlance aww Thankyou! I will :) but regarding lattafa perfumes, which would you say is nicest: raghba, opulent oud or royal blends? (Even though that last one isn’t lattafa but maybe youve tried it ??)
Royal Blend and Raghba are the more wearable ones, Opulent Oud is on the stronger side and the oud in that one is a bit pungent, all theee are beautiful, but it all depends on what you are looking for. If I were to recommend you one I would say Khaltaat al Arabia Royal Blends, it a gorgeous sweet fruity spicy fragrance that you can wear it on its own or layered ❤
Red Tobacco no, very different take on tobacco compared to Qaa'ed, as for African Leather I haven't smelled it unfortunately so I can't compare the two. Thank you for watching ❤️
Yes, I think they would go amazing together, Khamrah would add some sweetness and would make Qaa'ed more cozy. I'd spray them on different parts of the body so they don't overpower eachother. Thank you for watching ❤️
Hello, gorgeous! I'm torn between Qaa'ed and Majd Al Sultan. Which of the two leans masculine the most and which one do you think is the best? Keep up the amazing work! 💞
Hi beautiful ❤ From the feedback I got so far, more women were enjoying Majd al Sultan than Qaa'ed. But then again, some women said Qaa'ed is one of their most beloved frageances so I would say it all comes down to what you're used to in general. But generally speaking I think Qaa'ed leans more masculine compared to Majd al Sultan. Thank you for your support 🥰🤗
Yay, you did a QAA'ED review! I went to spray some while you were giving us your opinion. I originally bought this for my husband - who LOVES it - and, I don't usually go for "unisex" fragrances, but... for THIS, I will make an exception. This is badass, boss bitch vibes & I get into those moods a LOT! Great review! Have you tried the QIMMAH yet?
Ohh you're so so right!! It for sure has that badass boss babe vibe ❤️😍 I LOVE it!! I think Qaa'ed is amazing for layering as well, if you want to give that spicy mysterious vibe to other fragrances try to layer them with this one. I haven't tried QIMMAH yet but it's on my to try list for sure! Thanks for watching dear
Ok so I'm back with an update. To my nose it smells very different compared to Bade'e al Oud. Compared to Opulent Oud, Qaa'ed is warmer, way spicer, drier and more incensy, Opulent Oud is darker, sweeter, more resinous, and not as incensy as Qaa'ed. But if you enjoy Bade'e al Oud and Oud for Glory you'll most likely enjoy Qaa'ed as well. Opulent Oud and Bade'e al Oud have a very dense, concentrated aura to them (if that makes sense), Qaa'ed has some airyness (if I can call it like that) to it. Hope it helped 🤗 **in the very last bits of the dry down Opulent Oud and Qaa'ed do share some similarities
Considering how strong it is I'd say anywhere from 3-10 would shine beautifully without feeling suffocating for you or people around you, but there's no magic number, do a number of sprays you feel comfortable with. 💫 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Hi, so far from what I've smelled/ tried no. It might have a slight slight resemblance to Raghba by Lattafa (just like a hint). But I had that one in my collection such a long time ago that I don't remember exactly how that on smelled
I just ordered this perfume because I think I could like it a lot, but a lot of reviewers say that it's much more masculine 😅 what do you think? I just want a vanilla spicy bomb!
I think it's a beautiful unisex scent, I received amazing feedback on it from women as well.🥳 When I want to give it an extra feminine touch I layer it with anything vanillic forward, they work like a dream together. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
Thank you for watching, I appreciate the feedback ❤ I agree, a bit more sweetness would've been perfect, I like to layer it with a vanilla based oil to give that extra sweetness 🌟
Nice review. Are you aware of any middle eastern fragrances that are on the fresh green/citrusy side? Usually I can only come across ones that are darker and richer. I would love a scent that combines the middle eastern skill for good performance with a lighter scent profile.
Thank you for watching! ❤️🤗 Oh I am sure there are many but on top of my mind I can't think of anything cause it's not a style of fragrance that I usually gravitate towards, but I will look at my decants and come back with an answer 💫
Hi, thank you for watching ❤ I haven't tried Oudi by AAZ so I don't know if they're similar or not, but just by looking at the notes I don't think they're similar
First, thanks for making reviews of fragrances that Western mainstream TH-camrs don't know about. But as a side note, why do you always have decants when the perfumes are cheap and easy to get? It would be a lot better if you could showcase the bottles. Anyways, sending love from Morocco.
Thank you for watching! ❤ I only want to add full bottles of fragrances that I love and suit me in my collection, and I prefer to test them prior to blind buying (if I can find samples/decants). I see no point in buying full bottles of fragrances just for review and then just keeping them around 🤷🏻♀️
i had ferrari black and dunhill driven and they are both clones of boss bottled, the first time i tried qaaed it was a familiar smell i knew i had something like that before but didn't remember what it was, then after an hour it came to mind ferrari black and dunhill driven, so this is a clone of boss bottled, not niche nor middle eastern smelling.
The vanilla is here and you'll pick it up but to my nose the spices are stronger. But yes, it smells like you're burning an incense stick with spices and vanilla and you go in and have a sniff and you get the smoky quality as well. Gorgeous unisex fragrance! But it's not that typical rich warm ambery vanilla style of fragrance with a hint of smokiness, this one is very dry, dusty and grounding somehow. Hope it helped ❤
Make sure you give it time and don't jump to conclusions ❤ Test it on your hand and if you want to make it sweeter layer it with a sweet vanilla fragrance. Let me know how you feel about it! 🤗🎉🎉
Thank you! This sounds awesomeness for fall and winter. I just checked it out in North America and it's gone already. Do you know any lemon creamy scents with a hint of oud please? Or a hint of incense or just plane lemon creamy scent? Thanks
Yes, it's one worth checking out for sure if you enjoy middle eastern fragrances! Gorgeous gorgeous one. ❤️❤️ Hmm let me think, a creamy lemon with oud I don't think I've came across. The closest one is Opulent Musk by Lattafa, which has lemon, saffron, white florals and resinous oudy notes in the background. It's very potent and it smells great, I got great feedback on this one so far but it only has lemon in the opening. Quite a potent and a strong fragrance, look it up and see if it sparks your interest. If I come across any creamy lemon fragrances I will update you!
@@AFragrantGlance Thank you kindly! Yeah, Opulent Musk seems very inviting, I checked it out and I think I am ready to order it this weekend. I love Lattafa's fragrances. Thank you again for taking the time to respond throughly. Regards
She is the finest perfume reviewer on TH-cam: Well read in olfactory issues, well-researched fragrances, and the softest voice on line, what is there not to like?
What a beautiful comment, thank you so much for your kind words dear! ❤🤗
Hi sweetie pie. I realize that you love spicy perfumes. I love Majd Al Sultan Asdaaf; I bought this few years ago because of you mentioning this (it started selling off and recommended after you mentioned it as first person on yt). I knew a long time that you loved Queed too. And finally I ordered this today. I also ordered Asad. Do you know the real difference between Asad and Queed? I have about 380 perfumes in my collection. Very diverse too. In winter time I adore spicy scents. God bless your heart a thousand times ❤️🙏
Alhamdulillah habibati they don’t know that In the Middle East, we don’t limit fragrances by gender or season-everyone wears what they love, whenever they choose. Much like niche fragrance profiles, the ideas of gender and season in perfumery are primarily Western concepts. Fragrance is an integral part of our culture and way of life, so we often apply it generously, making it a true expression of who we are.
This smells soooo good with choco musk! It definitely leans just a tad more masculine, BUT layered with sweet scents it’s so good! I love it!
Glad to hear you're enjoying this combo, Qaa'ed works great as a base layered with sweeter fragrances, it gives the scent that extra feminine touch 🌠 Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
Oh my god.. I tried it and I got goosebumps. So so good. Thanks for this exquisite tip! ❤
@@sand-raw8736 yayyy I’m glad you liked it 🥰❤️
"I wear what I like when I like." Like a boss! Great review -
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thank you for watching ❤
This was the first "Lattafa" fragrance I encountered in Kuwait back in 2018.
I didn't buy it then because I could not appreciate the depth and marvelous fragrance notes contained within it.
This fragrance remained on my mind...and my "Wanted" list for 6 years.
Now...6 years later...I am ready.
And it is as beautiful as I imagined.
Better than all of the Incensey, oudy, spicy fragrances that I've bought in these 6 years.
Qaa'ed is amazing...
Very detailed review nicely put together and presented like a Master Perfumer. Keep them coming and keep up your good work, all the best!
Thank you so much!! That's so nice of you, I really appreciate your words ❤ Wishing you all the best as well!
Oh my god. This was an absolute delight. I bought it after your review, I am addicted. After your opinion on Swiss Arabian combo I can’t wait to try them. I am so grateful to you for this.
My pleasure dear, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying Qaa'ed so much!! 🎊It's such an unapologetic fragrance that I feel like you either a love or hate. If you ever feel like you want to spice it up and make it sweeter layer it with a vanilla forward fragrance, they work so so well together. Also let me know your thoughts on the combo from Swiss Arabian, would love to hear your feedback on it. Thank you for watching ❤️🌹
I could swear you would give a thorough review of this fragrance and even love it. I've read the notes, decided that I like the perfume , but I've been waiting for the opinion of an expert with a real feeling for Middle Eastern fragrances! Big thanks!
You are so kind, but by no mens am I an expert, I am just a fragrance lover❤️ I really do love it, it's a fragrance that's worth trying for sure if you are into middle eastern fragrances. Wishing you an amazing day!🤗🤗
I bought this and I regret nothing it's really good. I can tell something good is in this. I think it's the cinnamon and the amber. The vanilla is very good. This is so mysteriously good. Thank you for recommending this!
Yeey I'm happy to hear you enjoy it, it's such a beautiful fragrance! 🥳 Thank you for watching and thank you for trusting my recommendations ❤️
I got qaeed in 30 ml. And I think I will probably order 2 100ml soon. Absolutely beautiful fragrance. This is so classy, regal and opulent fragrance. If this was put in a By Killian bottle this would easily sell for 300-400 euros. Thanks for the recommending a truly unique and classy scent.
I'm so so happy you're enjoying it, it does smell very opulent and luxurious. ❤I totally agree, this could be sold for way more and people would still buy it! 😊
The most beautiful fragrance reviewer on TH-cam. Great review.
Thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words ❤️
Bought this for my dad and fell in love and now I have one on the way! ❤❤❤
So so happy to hear that dear, if you would like to give it an extra feminine touch layer it with something vanilla based, works so well.💫 Thank you for watching ❤️🌹
Again another great recommendation! I think wearing a vanilla perfume oil as a base and qaa’ed on top would be a great pairing 😍
Thank you for watching! ❤🤗 Yess, I totally agree, it would make an amazing combo and it would bring out the spicy vanilla quality in Qaa'ed 🌟
Once again purchased on your recommendation and once again thank you so much for the recommendation. Slightly sweet and spicy in the beginning and then smokey oud - absolutely amazing!
I'm so so happy to hear you're enjoying it, thank you for trusting my recommendations ❤
I’m here because I have this arriving today and wanted to check the reviews. Looking good so far. Great video by the way
I hope you'll enjoy it, let me know your thoughts on it once you get to test it. Thank you for watching ❤
Such enthusiasm is impossible to resist for us parfum lovers. Thank you, L. Ciao!
My pleasure Alma! You are such a sweetheart ❤️
You are by far the best fragrance reviewer on youtube!
I’m very unsure with this one. Is it somehow comparable with Sheikh al Shuyuk which love so much? Or which one would you recommend someone loving the Sheikh but hating the Ameerat al arab?
Thank you for your kind words my dear,I am happy to hear you feel that way and you resonate with my videos! 🤗🌹 Both Sheikh al Shuyukh Luxe & Oaa'ed are statement fragrances but scent wise they go in different directions, SAS is all about a rich rose accord spiced by some cinnamon with a sweet complex base while Qaa'ed feels more incensy and sweet spicy with a leathery undertone. Even thought they don't smell similar I would still recommend you to test it, look up a sample or decant of it and see how you feel about it, to me it smells very unique. If you love Sheikh al Shuyukh I would highly recommend you to test as well Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian & Gharam by Junaid Perfumes, look them up and see if they look like something you'd enjoy.
Literally got this in today and YES, it's incredible!!! Reminds my of MY LOVE Givenchy Indecence (the OG not reformulated) THIS is VERY close. It's beautiful.
I am so happy you found a fragrance that reminds you of a well loved fragrance in your collection, enjoy it to the fullest dear 💫 Thank you for watching 🌹❤
Just got this last week..its actually good..cinnamon & cardamom blast in the opening, vanilla, leather & oud in dry down..and it actually lasts for a long time..an underrated gem from lattafa
Happy to hear you enjoy it!! ❤️🎉 It really is an underrated gem
This fragrance is perfection to me!! Also, thank you so much for your review on Majd Al Sultan - this is THEE ONE!! My signature scent, my husband absolutely loves it on me, and I do love it so much. I can't stop inhaling this beauty!! I am glad to subscribe your channel:)
Dear this makes me so happy!! ❤ What a beautiful feeling when you find fragrances that represent you and they become your signature scents, I'm glad I could play a part in that 🤗 I love both as well and they're such unique offerings, they stand out for sure 🌟
@@AFragrantGlance I Fully agree! I bought Majd Al Sultan because of your recommendation and I love it. The Balsam Fir note is quite prominent and blends beautifully with the other notes, especially Myrrh! What fragrance did you recommend layering with Majd Al Sultan?
THANKS for this review, your passion pushed me to buy this beautiful fragrance. It arrived yesterday and it fits your description like no other, I totally get the sweet incense sticks vibe and I love it. Also I find Qaa'ed rather masculine, but I think it fits very well women so confident and classy like you.
Btw, I wish there were more reviewers like you in the male fragrances community, you look very joyful, honest and passionate!
Thank you so much for you beautiful comment, this means a lot to me!🤗🤗
This is my first winter with Qa'ed and it's gone masculine, spicy-green. In the summer it was unisex, spicy-vanilla-incense. I think I'll use this in the summer. I don't like it in cold weather.
If you have any sweet rich vanilla forward fragrances try to layer them with Qaa'ed and I think it will help a lot with the green aspect and it will make it more enjoyable. I enjoyed reading your feedback on Qaa'ed, thank you for watching dear ❤🌹
Thank you for this. I got 10ml of Qaed few days ago because I really like unisex perfumes. But this one for me was too masculine. It reminded me of my grandpa hahaha but now I added some roll-on I have with vanilla and it smells nicer, will keep trying with other fragrances. @@AFragrantGlance
I took delivery of my lattafa Qaeed today .. and I must say .. it's mind blowing.. lovely fragrance and very long lasting.. if u love oud mood, u re surely gonna love this bad boy... It's really worth buying. Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching! ❤ Yes, Qaa'ed is very unique, I enjoy it a lot as well, it's one of the most unique offerings from Lattafa. So happy to hear you enjoy it as well 💫
@@AFragrantGlance thank you.. I also ordered Najdia.. I'm hoping it will be cool too
Qaaed is BEASTMODE. The Oudh is different from western perfumes which I like. The oudh scents from the GULF is the best!
Glad to hear you enjoy it, thank you for watching! ❤️
To me, it’s 95% simillar with Majd Al Sultan from Asdaaf, which I love, thanks to you 😍
Yeey I'm so happy you're enjoying them beautiful!! ❤ Both are gorgeous powerfull fragrances
Thank you for recommending this Fragrance, the more I wear it, the more inlove I become. Hands down the best Lattafa I own. I've even fallen inlove with the bottle design which I was neutral about upon unboxing. An absolute gem.
I mate of mine smelt it, who is quite familiar with oudh, and he remarked that; if the oudh in it is synthetic, it is the best synthetic version on the market. Truly blended to perfection.
Definitely backup bottle worthy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this scent, I'm so happy you're enjoying it dear, it truly is a gem ❤️ It's one of the most unique fragrances from Lattafa that I've tried 🌟
When I had red the notes I ordered it blindly. I can't wait to come! I guess I found a gem :O
I would love to hear your feedback on it, my advice would be to let it sit for a while and give it time. 🌠 Lots of middle eastern fragrances need to sit a bit and macerate, first few sprays can come out quite sharp & flat. Thank you for watching ❤️
I am just amazed at how good you are at reviewing fragrances. Thank you so much. This might be my favorite fragrance channel. Subbed of course.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, it means a lot to me 🤗
Great video! I ordered Qaa'ed because of your review, and let me tell you, this is the bomb!!!! I love this fragrance and I love the bottle also. From the first blast to the dry down this fragrance is soooo good!! Your recommendations are the best, girl!! This is pow 👊 I love it so much!
Thank you for watching dear ❤️ Ohh I'm so so happy you're loving Qaa'ed, it's not a safe blind buy and it's for sure one of those fragrances with a lot of personality but it's so beautiful 🌟
QAA'ED is fantastic.
I have had it for several months and can agree that it's wonderful on it's own, but very certainly does layer well with other fragrances.
Believe it or not, the first time I smelled it I thought it was like "Old Spice" wanted to be when it grows up, so I layered it with a 1980s version of Old Spice Cologne that I have... Let me tell you that it's SUBLIME.
Also, it turns out that I think it pairs incredibly well with Raghba Wood Intense.
It's turned out to be one of my favorite scents... And on my skin, it "works" for me during Summer.
Cheers!
Keep up with the great reviews.
I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying it as well.💫Yes, it works so well on it's own as well as layered with other fragrances. I never thought of layering it with Raghba Wood Intense but I will give it a try cause I have that one in my collection and I am not using it. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts on this fragrance❤️
@@AFragrantGlance hi!
Yes... Please try it over the Wood Intense...
It's also pretty magnificent UNDER Ameer Al Oudh.
And if you can get your hands on a small VINTAGE (pre-1990s) bottle of Old Spice, preferably the cologne concentration manufactured by Shulton... They sold out to Proctor and Gamble in 1990 or so... And it's not been the same since, about a hundred reformulations and even more cheapening.
Anyhow... Layering the QAA'ED underneath the Old spice intensifies the spice and sweetness of the Old Spice, layering the QAA'ED over the Old Spice, it tones down the powderiness of the Old Spice, but adds a sweet kick to the QAA'ED.... Incredibly interesting how the QAA'ED works so differently with various other perfumes, and even more interesting how it works when either under or over the different fragrances.
I don't believe I've ever owned a fragrance that acts like the QAA'ED does.
Here's hoping that all is well with you and yours.
Cheers!
Thank you for this video. I want to try this. As a Chanel woman, I feel this will be my next favorite. I imagine this fragrance will be wonderful. I hope so. I love Middle Eastern scents. This may be a good one for me. Thanks.
Thank you for watching 🌹❤ If it's possible try to look for a sample and test it first to see if it's something that works for you. Let me know your thoughts on it if you get to try it, I hope you'll enjoy it 💫
Thanks for the review, I blind bought this one and received it yesterday. First reaction: nope, not for me, too much leather and reminds me a lot of Shaghaf Oud Abyad (white bottle). But your review did help me to see the scent from another perspective, and I applied it on my skin while listening to you. I do see the "lightened incense stick" vibe now, and can appreciate the scent. I don't know if I'll keep it still, but thank you !! I always appreciate listening to your videos.
Greetings from France !!
Greeting to you as well, thank you for watching ❤Happy to hear that my video helped you see the fragrance from a different perspective and I appreciate your honest feedback 🌠 If you still have it in your collection I would highly advise you to layer it with a rich vanilla forward fragrance and it would bring out that beautiful sweet spicy vanilla touch and it will make it more wearable.
Absolutely spot on,, very nice fragrance, i"ve had this gem for over 6 months, the performance is in sane, nice review, keep it up
Thank you!! ❤️ I can't wait to get the full bottle and start experimenting with it
@@AFragrantGlance you welcome, and it's also compliment magnet, whenever I wear this gem I receive more than 4 compliments in a day, I believe it smells so good on the air.
Omg, just got this and I'm in love! I have tested Creed Royal Oud a couple of times (no staying power) and this has the bits I like best with a heap of cardamom. I feel like this is going to be my new signature scent! I've layered with amber nuit oil from Ammar's Fragrances (definitely worth a look at their samples if you are in UK).
I've just discovered your wonderful channel. Your enthusiasm and love for the fragrances is so infectious.
I have just purchased Qaa'ed and must agree with you it is a beautiful fragrance.I am really loving fragrances from the Middle East,they are so much better than the" commercial " western fragrances that I smell everywhere.
I am looking forward to watching all your previous videos this evening.Thank you so much for your informative and fun videos.Good luck for the future.
Comments like this make my day better!!❤️🤗 Welcome dear and thank you so much for your beautiful words!! I am happy so you're enjoying Qaa'ed, it's a stunning fragrance. I can't wait to get the full bottle and to start experimenting with it and to layer it. I am thinking of layering with one with a vanilla scented body lotion to bring up the vanilla more. Have you tried layering with this one? I am glad you're enjoying my videos dear!! 🎉
@@AFragrantGlance I really didn't understand the layering routine but I'm now a whole lot wiser after watching one of your videos,thank you for that.
The past couple of years I've been purchasing oils from a wonderful company here in England called Perfume Parlour.They sell very impressive dupes like Nasommoto,By Killian and Byredo as well as some beautiful Middle Eastern fragrances and thanks to your fantastic educational videos I shall be layering with,hopefully,great results,so fingers crossed !
Earlier today I ordered your recommended fragrance Majd Al Sultan which cost under £20 ! How ecstatic I was to find it at such a great price ! Thank you again for introducing me to the exotic delights of Middle Eastern fragrances. Count me as one of your number one fans ! Avidly waiting for your next video.Take care and keep safe.😍
@@jackiehitchcock6447 Your comment went straight to my heart, thank you!❤️❤️ I am so happy that I get to help people through my videos, and that you find them educational. Let me know how you feel about Majd al Sultan, I really hope you will enjoy it, make sure to give it time. If you need any help with layering I am more than happy to give you some guidance, either here either on Instagram at @afragrantglance. Wishing you an amazing day my dear and stay safe 🤗
@@AFragrantGlance Thank so much,you are so enchanting.
You'll be the first person I tell when Majd all Sultan has been tested.
Thanks for the invitation to help with the layering,that is so kind of you.
Take care and keep safe.
Merci pour ta revue sur ce parfum.
Thank you for watching ❤✨
I've got about 120 fragrances, this one I bought about in the middle of my purchases. So far it is still my favorite.
I'm happy to hear you enjoy it so much! Lattafa truly did an incredible job with Qaa'ed. Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you so much for recommending, this was a very successful blind buy for me, which exceeded my expectations because it is strikingly similar to Penhaligon's Babylon which costs £200. It smells seductive and expensive. You are amazing
So so happy to hear you're enjoying it dear ❤🤗 It's one of my favourites from Lattafa, such a unique scent. I've never tried Babylon but amazing to know they share simialar vibes. What I love to do from time to time is to layer it with a vanilla forward fragrance to bring out the spices & vanilla and to give it an extra feminine touch, I layer it with Moattar Dhahab usually. Thank you for watching ❤💫
After seeing many of ur videos I got raghba, sheikh shuyukh luxe & oud mood. Loving all these esp sheikh al shuyukh it’s really amazing. I can see why it’s your holy grail I remember u saying that u finished 2 bottles of this and will continue to repurchase. Your recommendations are on point. I will try this qaeed in the future. But I’m wanting to try majd al sultan after ur recommendation and it’s very hard to get it in India. Btw loving your videos👍
I am so happy you're enjoying my recommendations! Someone's taste in fragrance is very personal so I am always beyond happy when people end up loving my recommendations. Yes, Sheikh al Shuyukh Luxe is the one that is very close to my heart. 🥰 Let me know how you feel about them, I hope you will enjoy them, thank you for your support!! 🎉
@Beatnik Records so glad you’re enjoying this. I want to get my hands on this. Hope I’ll find it here soon. I love each of her videos, so sweet and love the way she explains each perfume.
I can’t wait to get this! Im addicted to and love many of Lataffas fragrances ❤️
Thank you for watching dear! ❤️ Let me know your thoughts on this fragrance, it's an amazing fragrance for spice lovers, if you want to give it an extra feminine touch layer it with Golden Sands by Al Rehab or any other vanilla based fragrance oil 🌟
i own qaaed the dry down is awesome.. Good review
Thank you, I enjoy it a lot as well! 😊
I bought this cologne from Amazon, its very beautifully scented , im waiting for coworkers opinion of this cologne
Glad to hear you enjoy it Orlando, thank you for watching. ❤️🌠
When u said dry and dusty! Yes that’s what am looking for with some incense. 👌🏾🙏🏾
Yess, I love that about it!!❤️ I hope to get that vibe in the coder months as well. But keep in mind that the scent itself it not very harsh, it's on the wearable side
Just received it today and wow wow thank u!! This is so good so classy a gentleman’s scent. I love the dryness kind of earthy dusty vibe going on.
Just received this today. It stays masculine, but still gorgeous!, on my skin for a very loooong time. Maybe half an hour later after the initial spray the "roughness" dampers off and vanilla, the spices and a touch of leather shines through on my skin. I will have to test it a whole day to be sure, but I actually was blown away by its deliciousness even seconds after the first spray, even though it stayed masculine on my skin for a very, very long time. Qaa'ed is simply beautiful, so I hope I will be able to make it work for me. There is a huge potential at least :)
Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it! ❤️ Indeed, it's such a beautiful fragrance, you should try to layer it with a vanilla fragrance oil or a vanilla dominant fragrance to give it a touch of femininity 🤗
@@AFragrantGlance I do just that after your excellent recommendation, and it works wonders ❤️ Sometimes I even (also) layer it with an Al Haramain Musk oil I just purchased, and they work so well together, I think. The leather note in Qaa'ed makes it a bit masculine, but I actually do love the leather note, and it is such an amazingly well blended perfume, so I don't mind at all - especially since I am able to "woman it a bit more up" myself 😊 And thank you for replying. I cherish that 🤗
Thank you for this and you have helped me so much with fragrances, after I ordered I realize that I have the same taste as you. I love this one so much, as well as three others you have recommended. xxSerena
My pleasure dear, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying my recommendations ❤️🤗 Thank you for watching🌹
Always lovely to hear you reviews, please can you share some tips on macerating perfumes? I just got this and it doesn’t smell like you described…I guess it needs some maceration? Please share your thoughts
Thank you for watching dear 🌹❤ Usually when I want to let a fragrance macerate I do 7 8 sprays if it's more affordable, if it's pricier then I do less and I just let it sit in a cool dry & dark place for a few months and I try to forget about it for a while cause I'm very impacient and it takes a good few months to see changes. You could try to do this with Qaa'ed as well or if you have a vanilla forward fragrance then layer the two and it will amplify the sweetness of the fragrance even more 💫
@@AFragrantGlance thank you so much dear. I will try this and see, I loved the dna the first time I sprayed it but it took a while to develop on my skin and smelled very leathery in the opening. I am in the process of discovering new scent profiles on me, so glad to have found your channel 💕
Glad to have you here 🌠🤗
Thank you so much for this review ❤ could you tell please which one is more masculine Qaa’ed or Badee Al Oud black?
Ay!!!! Another one for the blends collection:))))
Haha hope you'll enjoy it dear! ❤️ 🤗 But get it only if you enjoy unisex fragrances
I HV been wanting to get qaaed and velvet oud for lattafa.thanks for the review. I love anything smokey.
If you decide to get it let me know how you feel about it! ❤️🎉 Same girl same, I lovee smoky fragrances oh
New subscriber alert ! Love your description of reviews on perfumes. Can you please make few reviews on Oud based oils from Middle East.
Welcome!! ❤ Yes, I am planning on experimenting more with oud oils but I am still at the beggining of my oud journey I would say, I still have a lot to learn about oud. Thank you for watching 🤗
The opening is exactly the same as of the niche perfume L'amateur Amado Unisex, middle notes and base notes are about 90% the same. Amado has roses instead of carnation and a dash more of incense than Qaaed and patchouli, which Qaaed doesn`t have. But Qaaed performes such as good and smells just as "niche". I bought Qaaed for 15€, while Amado costs 198€. Looking at the price difference, I gladly miss out on the more intense incense and patchouli notes, if I still do want those, I can still layer Qaaed with a perfume that is more on the patchouli side to achieve 99% Amado. Thx for introducing this very underrated masterpiece by Lattafa. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for sharing dear, I had no idea it was similar to L'amateur Amado. . Qaa'ed is such a unique fragrance, I've never came across anything that smells like this. To me, Qaa'ed along with Sheikh al Shuyukh are some of the best offerings from Lattafa!! Happy to hear you're enjoying so much the fragrance ❤️❤️🤗
And come to think, Lattafa came out first. Wow
@@SherlockDave Really, did they?
@@maram6211 Of cos! Qaa’ed I think came out late 2017 or early 2018
Hi Mis Loredana.
.Lattafa brands it's very good
And this perfume alternative of Dunhill icon abslu.
Hi, thank you for watching! ❤ Yes, I do enjoy quite a lot of Lattafa's fragrances as well
So this is the Dunhill inspiration??
ha, l just bought this one today, cannot wait to smell it!
Ohh I really hope you will love this one dear!! ❤️ Let me know how you feel about it
Fantastic quality review. Thanks 🇬🇧
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! ❤️
I am using it, amazing perfume for fall and winter. Thnx for your precious input❤
So happy to hear your enjoying it!! 🌟🌟
I have been using this perfume from last one year and let me tell you in the opening you can't smell vanilla.Its a cardamom bomb.very refined blend of cardamom+cinnamon and ginger.In dry down you can smell vanilla.amazing fragrance and very addictive.
Glad to hear you enjoy it as well, it really is a beautiful fragrance. Thank you for watching ❤
Thankyou for the review. I was hesitant to get it everytime people say it smells of incense. I like woody ouds though
@@zainaissa4791 it's not a modern blend.i would describe it a typical middle eastern fragrance.This is definitely not mass appealing/blind buy worthy fragrance and it's only meant for matured noses.i would say if you have some experience with middle eastern fragrances then go for it otherwise look for some other options and yes it has a very strong note of incense.
Great to know about this fragrance by you ..i was planning to it bt as u said that it has a middle eastern vibe to it n also iam not into the velvety , leathery fragrance , iam much into the typical sweet feminine kind of fragrance so it make me clear that is not for me ..thanqu gurl ❤️
Hi dear, yes it does have a strong middle eastern vibe and it also leans quite unisex. From what we've spoke so far in the comments I don't think you would enjoy this one, only if you were to layer it with more feminine scents but I don't know if it's worth the effort. Better to try fragrances that suit your taste better. Thank you for watching lovely!! ❤️❤️
A sample added to my cart😍
Let me know how you feel about this one! ❤🎉
The way you describe the fragrances you love makes me want to try them all🤩😬
But the only “oud” i have tried i didn’t love, oud vainille by frank olivier and club d nuit.
i was deciding to order oud mood by lattafa or shagad oud from your other video recommendations but i am kind of indecisive bc on fragantica those perfumes remind others to oud vanille😅😬
Waiting to receive
q essence, rawaa and all you need is passion ❤️🤩 i think these are safe for me☺️
You are such a sweetheart, this one is amazing but I think it will lean too unisex for your taste in fragrances ❤️ Then it's best to not order them or try to get a decant is possible, cause with oud is a bit tricky, it's best to start with small more wearable ones to get a feel of it. Let me know how you feel about your new fragrances when they arrive!! 😍😍 I hope you'll enjoy them!
@@AFragrantGlance coming back to comment i am loving q essence, rawaa and all you need is passion🥰 thank you
@@marisolsantana5449 I'm very happy to hear that!! ❤️🎉🎉
I don’t have this yet but it’s in my next order! Thank you for sharing. Very informative video. And I will be sure to layer it with our favorite scent! And you know what that is you mentioned it lol. 🌹
Let me know what you think of it dear, if you find it too masculine leaning definitely layer it with Moattar Dhahab and it will bring out the best in Qaa'ed 🎊 Thank you for watching my dear, I always appreciate your support ❤️🌹🤗
@@AFragrantGlance
I love it on its own! I haven’t layered it so far with anything!Yes I do have both men and female versions. But I will just to make a different fragrance! Thank you giving good ideas about fragrances. Have a Awesome week!!! ♥️🌹
I can’t wait to try qua eed!
Let me know how you feel about it!! ❤
Great review! So detailed. Can only come from someone who has really spent time with a fragrance. I appreciate it a lot! :)
I will give this one a try.
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you for watching! ❤️ Let me know how you feel about this one, I hope you'll enjoy it 💫 Greetings to you as well!
Thank-you for posting this helpful video.
Thank you for watching, happy to hear you found it helpful ❤
I went to buy this last week and it was sold out😭 and I had it on my wish list since January😖 thanks so much for reviewing it L.
Ohh what a shame, but I'm sure it will be restocked in the near future as it's quite a popular fragrance ❤ It's a great scent, if you're into more unique unisex middle eastern scents you wil really enioy it. Thank you for watching 🤗
I bought the 30ml version and it smells too manly. I'm not sure how this is unisex unless you like masculine scents. Reminds me of Lattafa Velvet Oud but with spices and some sweetness. But still quite aftershave type of scent. The cedar and leather are quite prominent.
That's very interesting! On my skin I get the most the vanilla, the spices and the amber, and this smoky vibe. On me the leather, oud and woody accords are there in the background only to support the other notes. ❤ Maybe try to give it time and test it more, test it in the summer to see if it gives you tha same vibe. Thank you for watching! 🤗 (but I do have to mention that I love incensy smoky fragrances)
To me often parfum behaves oddly. The Sweetie Aoud for the first time smelled acid on me the other day! Chemistry!
Chào bạn,có giống velvet oud không bạn ,mình đã có velvet rồi,thanks.
Beautiful fragrance and reviewer.
Thank you ❤
just got this perfume such a good buy
Yes, I enjoy it a lot as well ❤
Was introduced to your channel in my feed today, and I really enjoy your reviews a lot. I just ordered this one based on your review, and will not hold it against you if I do not enjoy it ;-) But it just sounds absolutely wonderful and unique. My skin tends to eat up most fragrances so in generel I enjoy the more potent scents, and since autumn is on its way here in Denmark, I truly believe I will like wearing this
Thank you so much and welcome dear 🤗 I think it will work beautiful for the colder months! My skin does the same, I always have to moisturise first. You could put a vanilla scented moisturiser first then spray this one on top, cause dry skin and cold weather paired together eat all fragrances quicker. Let me know how you feel about this one ❤️
@@AFragrantGlance Thank you for the tips! 🥰 I look so much forward to having this in my collection soon 😊
I must admit that I love seeing your reviews, thank you for the honest reviews!
Thank you for watching! I am glad you're enjoying my content dear ❤
Notification came early ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching gorgeous!! ❤❤
how much time longevity and sillage and projections
It's very loud, at least the batch that I have in my collection. I haven't worn it alone in a long time but from what I remember it lasted more than 6-7h on my skin and the projection was very good in the first few hours. Thank you for watching ✨
A very sexy fragrance. Compliments galore on this one. A bargain purchase!
Yess, I do find it very sexy as well! ❤ It's a very unique and well made fragrance for such an affordable price. I can't wait to get a full bottle and to wear it 🎉
It's one of my secret weapons 😆
@@teeade7960 Now I wanna know the other secret weapons if they are as good as this one haha 😂❤
Al Haramain Portfolio Floral Sculpture layered with Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge = 🔥
@@teeade7960 I have to get a decant of Amber Oud Rouge and try it. Thank you for the combo tip 🥰❤️
I am intrigued by this fragrance 😍 now that we are going into fall and winter ❄️
I love it, it's a very unique offering from Lattafa, but get it only if you enjoy unisex incensy fragrances ❤️❤️ But my guess is that if you already love Oud Aswad you will enjoy Qaa'ed as well
Hello mam
I have a doubt the in qaaed the cardamom fragrance is high..?
Thank you for watching ❤ To my nose the cardamom is very prominent especially in the opening
Hey, I loveee your videos they’re so detailed!! Which lattafa perfume would you say smells the most like oud ispahan??
Hi and thank you very much, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! ❤️ From Lattafa I haven't come across any fragrance that's similar to Oud Ispahan by Dior, but if you're looking for something similar check out Gold Oud Edition by Pascal Morabito (heavier on oud) or Oud Touch by Frank Olivier (not as heavy on oud). I have a video in which I compare the two, look them up and see if they vibe with you.
@@AFragrantGlance aww Thankyou! I will :) but regarding lattafa perfumes, which would you say is nicest: raghba, opulent oud or royal blends? (Even though that last one isn’t lattafa but maybe youve tried it ??)
Royal Blend and Raghba are the more wearable ones, Opulent Oud is on the stronger side and the oud in that one is a bit pungent, all theee are beautiful, but it all depends on what you are looking for. If I were to recommend you one I would say Khaltaat al Arabia Royal Blends, it a gorgeous sweet fruity spicy fragrance that you can wear it on its own or layered ❤
Is it similar to Mancera Red Tobacco or Memo African Leather?
Red Tobacco no, very different take on tobacco compared to Qaa'ed, as for African Leather I haven't smelled it unfortunately so I can't compare the two. Thank you for watching ❤️
Can this be paired with Khamrah?
Yes, I think they would go amazing together, Khamrah would add some sweetness and would make Qaa'ed more cozy. I'd spray them on different parts of the body so they don't overpower eachother. Thank you for watching ❤️
@@AFragrantGlance thank you 🙏🏻 very much.
Hello, gorgeous! I'm torn between Qaa'ed and Majd Al Sultan. Which of the two leans masculine the most and which one do you think is the best? Keep up the amazing work! 💞
Hi beautiful ❤ From the feedback I got so far, more women were enjoying Majd al Sultan than Qaa'ed. But then again, some women said Qaa'ed is one of their most beloved frageances so I would say it all comes down to what you're used to in general. But generally speaking I think Qaa'ed leans more masculine compared to Majd al Sultan. Thank you for your support 🥰🤗
Qaa’ed leans more masculine in my opinion
I have fallen in love with leather notes. Thanks to Tuscan leather
Oh I love a good leather fragrance as well❤️
If you were selling this fragrance, I would have surely bought it. You have your way with words and accent. By the way, where do you come from?
Haha thank you, you are very kind ❤️ I am romanian 💫
@@AFragrantGlance By any chance are you into sales and marketing? You have an innovative way of presenting your content. Liking it. Keep it up.
Yes, I work in marketing. Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate your support ❤
Yay, you did a QAA'ED review! I went to spray some while you were giving us your opinion. I originally bought this for my husband - who LOVES it - and, I don't usually go for "unisex" fragrances, but... for THIS, I will make an exception. This is badass, boss bitch vibes & I get into those moods a LOT! Great review! Have you tried the QIMMAH yet?
Ohh you're so so right!! It for sure has that badass boss babe vibe ❤️😍 I LOVE it!! I think Qaa'ed is amazing for layering as well, if you want to give that spicy mysterious vibe to other fragrances try to layer them with this one. I haven't tried QIMMAH yet but it's on my to try list for sure! Thanks for watching dear
Hey, is it similar to Bade al oud Oud for Glory or Opulent Oud from Lattafa by chance? I think i read somewhere that they are similar.
Hey, I will sniff them tomorrow side by side and I will update you but I don't think they are similar 🤷♀️ Thank you for watching! ❤
I also wish to know, L. Merci.
Ok so I'm back with an update. To my nose it smells very different compared to Bade'e al Oud. Compared to Opulent Oud, Qaa'ed is warmer, way spicer, drier and more incensy, Opulent Oud is darker, sweeter, more resinous, and not as incensy as Qaa'ed. But if you enjoy Bade'e al Oud and Oud for Glory you'll most likely enjoy Qaa'ed as well. Opulent Oud and Bade'e al Oud have a very dense, concentrated aura to them (if that makes sense), Qaa'ed has some airyness (if I can call it like that) to it. Hope it helped 🤗 **in the very last bits of the dry down Opulent Oud and Qaa'ed do share some similarities
I don't care about seasons. Exactly wear frags when you want.
Same same same ❤
How many sprays of this one should I use
Considering how strong it is I'd say anywhere from 3-10 would shine beautifully without feeling suffocating for you or people around you, but there's no magic number, do a number of sprays you feel comfortable with. 💫 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Hi I was wondering what you think in terms of similarities, is it similar to something please?
Hi, so far from what I've smelled/ tried no. It might have a slight slight resemblance to Raghba by Lattafa (just like a hint). But I had that one in my collection such a long time ago that I don't remember exactly how that on smelled
I just ordered this perfume because I think I could like it a lot, but a lot of reviewers say that it's much more masculine 😅 what do you think? I just want a vanilla spicy bomb!
I think it's a beautiful unisex scent, I received amazing feedback on it from women as well.🥳 When I want to give it an extra feminine touch I layer it with anything vanillic forward, they work like a dream together. Thank you for watching 🌹❤️
@@AFragrantGlance thank you so much! Have a great holiday season!
@claudiamasotto6030 Thank you, you too! ✨️
You look like Katrina Kaif, anyways good review
I take this as a compliment, thank you! ✨️
Are Qaeed and Oud for glory by lattafa similar?
No, not at all, both are very different! ❤
It's good but they should have blended plums in order to give little sweetness. I give it 7/10. I like it but there's too much cinnamon in it.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate the feedback ❤ I agree, a bit more sweetness would've been perfect, I like to layer it with a vanilla based oil to give that extra sweetness 🌟
@@AFragrantGlance welcome!
This one is 🔥👌🏼
Yess, I enjoy it a lot as well! ❤️🎉
Nice review. Are you aware of any middle eastern fragrances that are on the fresh green/citrusy side? Usually I can only come across ones that are darker and richer. I would love a scent that combines the middle eastern skill for good performance with a lighter scent profile.
Thank you for watching! ❤️🤗 Oh I am sure there are many but on top of my mind I can't think of anything cause it's not a style of fragrance that I usually gravitate towards, but I will look at my decants and come back with an answer 💫
@@AFragrantGlance thanks a lot :)
You are very beautiful like a rose in the desert.
Love your videos.
Keep going.
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤🤗🤗 I appreciate your support
we seem to have similar taste
Glad to hear that ❤ What are some of your favourite fragrances? 🌟
is Qaa'ed similar to Oudi (Ard Al Zaafaran)? Thank you
Hi, thank you for watching ❤ I haven't tried Oudi by AAZ so I don't know if they're similar or not, but just by looking at the notes I don't think they're similar
First, thanks for making reviews of fragrances that Western mainstream TH-camrs don't know about.
But as a side note, why do you always have decants when the perfumes are cheap and easy to get? It would be a lot better if you could showcase the bottles. Anyways, sending love from Morocco.
Thank you for watching! ❤ I only want to add full bottles of fragrances that I love and suit me in my collection, and I prefer to test them prior to blind buying (if I can find samples/decants). I see no point in buying full bottles of fragrances just for review and then just keeping them around 🤷🏻♀️
@@AFragrantGlance I got you. Keep it up!
What’s the longevity ? Also what can you compare it to??
She stated about 4-5 hrs for duration.
On my skin 4-5 h on clothes I haven't tested yet
@@AFragrantGlance ok .. I’ll wait abd see other reviews too..!
i had ferrari black and dunhill driven and they are both clones of boss bottled, the first time i tried qaaed it was a familiar smell i knew i had something like that before but didn't remember what it was, then after an hour it came to mind ferrari black and dunhill driven, so this is a clone of boss bottled, not niche nor middle eastern smelling.
Hi, would you describe it as a smokey vanilla fragrance or is the vanilla not that prominent?
The vanilla is here and you'll pick it up but to my nose the spices are stronger. But yes, it smells like you're burning an incense stick with spices and vanilla and you go in and have a sniff and you get the smoky quality as well. Gorgeous unisex fragrance! But it's not that typical rich warm ambery vanilla style of fragrance with a hint of smokiness, this one is very dry, dusty and grounding somehow. Hope it helped ❤
@@AFragrantGlance I took the risk and ordered it and now I'm nervous, it should arrive today 😬
Make sure you give it time and don't jump to conclusions ❤ Test it on your hand and if you want to make it sweeter layer it with a sweet vanilla fragrance. Let me know how you feel about it! 🤗🎉🎉
Thank you! This sounds awesomeness for fall and winter. I just checked it out in North America and it's gone already.
Do you know any lemon creamy scents with a hint of oud please? Or a hint of incense or just plane lemon creamy scent? Thanks
Yes, it's one worth checking out for sure if you enjoy middle eastern fragrances! Gorgeous gorgeous one. ❤️❤️ Hmm let me think, a creamy lemon with oud I don't think I've came across. The closest one is Opulent Musk by Lattafa, which has lemon, saffron, white florals and resinous oudy notes in the background. It's very potent and it smells great, I got great feedback on this one so far but it only has lemon in the opening. Quite a potent and a strong fragrance, look it up and see if it sparks your interest. If I come across any creamy lemon fragrances I will update you!
@@AFragrantGlance Thank you kindly! Yeah, Opulent Musk seems very inviting, I checked it out and I think I am ready to order it this weekend. I love Lattafa's fragrances. Thank you again for taking the time to respond throughly. Regards
@@walkwithgrandpa9005 Let me know how you feel about it, I really hope you will enjoy it! 😊
@@AFragrantGlance I will! I can't wait to receive it. I am sure it's a goodie. Thank you very much
Try Nishane Ani it smells like a vanilla lemon tart
salutations from brasil! You help me a lot , now i chose .😀
I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my videos ❤ What fragrances did you choose? Would love to hear your feedback on them. Thank you for watching 🌠
@@AFragrantGlance I bought Qaaed Lattafa. From now on your reviews até very important for my decisions 😅😘
