    Great video, Chris, I am not a fan of this category of fragrances but last week I bought Musk Rose by Arabian Oud (there is absolutely no oud in it :)) and I adore it. Plus, it comes in a spectacular box, too. I also followed your recommendation from a previous video and I got Black Jade by Lubin, and it is, indeed, a winner and a compliment-getter. So, thank you for all your input, you look incredible, Chris, and I am not just saying this, you truly get more gorgeous with every video!

    I have discovered that I can’t wear Lattafa perfumes because of an acrid smell I get that my family can’t detect…I get the same thing with some Zara perfumes as well. It sounds like you may be special like me! I’ve been chatting with another TH-camr that gets the same affect from Lattafa perfumes. I think a lot of people love Lattafa perfumes literally because they don’t detect them the same way. I have Rasasi Qasamat Ebhar (from the same line as Rasana) and it is lovely. I’m very excited for your Amber perfume. I love Amber!!

    I've pretty much given up on the standard Middle Eastern fragrances. My first purchase ended up being a dupe for L' Interdit. I was very ticked off. I did not need a Middle Eastern impression of Givenchy. It began to seem like most of them were dupes or used Western fragrances as inspiration. What I wanted was a genuine Middle Eastern fragrance. I found two houses that seemed to devise their own fragrances with a very oriental vibe -- Amouage and Alghabra. So those are Middle Eastern fragrances that I buy.

    I haven't explored Middle Eastern fragrances yet. I have some fragrances with 'Middle Eastern' leaning notes if you count saffron, patchouli, some 'Westernized oud', lots of rose and amber notes. I think if people don't like oud then it would be hit and miss on this category of fragrance.

    Wow, you look super classy and beautiful tonight, Chris! I like some Middle Eastern fragrances, but some of them are just too heavy on the rose and saffron or something that is off-putting. I've had the Sheik one in and out of my cart a multiple times, but there was something about it that just held me back. Now, you've helped me decide to bypass that one, thanks! I have a few Middle Eastern perfumes by Armaf and Ajmal. Do you know that there is a Yellowstone perfume?! It's called *Tornado*, as in "You're the trailer park and I'm the tornado" line made famous by the inimitable Beth Dutton. ~Cynthia

    I also got sharp vibe from lattafa qaeed in the beginning but trust me I just let it sit unused for 2 months. But the magic is, after 2 months the harsh opening has gone and I actually got more creamer cardamom and spices notes with smokey bakhoor agaroud notes which makes feel like you are in the Arab spice Souq(market)😂..
    BTW,This also happened to my another lattafa perfume (oud mood)..which got more better and stronger with time. So, if you still have qaeed, you can try if there is any change in harshness..

      I literally am JUST discovering Arab perfumes. I watched 30+ TH-cam videos this month to make a list to blind buy.
      Everyone recommended
      Lattafa Nebras
      Lattafa Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold
      Casablanca by Swiss Arabian
      Khamrah by Lattafa
      Nebras is just.. ok. Smells like a powdery chocolate tootsie roll
      Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold is FOUL. Right off the bat, allll I smell is alcohol, then the leather; and the sweetness from the tonka bean. I sprayed it last night on a test strip, woke up today and still, the main thing I smelled was the alcohol so it sent me into a major sneeze fit lol
      Casablanca.. not gonna lie. I like it a lot, even tho I just opened it an hour ago. Tart apple caramel pie is what it smells like.
      Khamrah hasn’t come in yet so idk how it smells
      But I’ve seen a lot of people say that you need to open the new perfumes, spray them 1-2 times and then leave the bottle alone for a few months. I was hoping that this is true and that the Lattafa scents get better over time bc so far, I regret the purchases lol

    Except for Rare Tiffany (and borouj that I never tried), I don't care for those. I blind bought many that you listed and sampled the others. The price is good but the juice not good enough to choose them among other better options in my collection. The cheap synthetic facets will always stop me from enjoying the overall experience. There are some cheapies that are worth it, Ajmal, Afnan, or even Lattafa sometimes surprises me. But Opulent Musc, Qaa'ed, Bint Hooran, Sheikh Al Shuyukh Lux, and even Casablanca are for me useless... I even tried to use them as room diffuser by taking of the sprayer and adding wood sticks but it is still unpleasant to my nose...
