Athena is such a gorgeous perfume 😍🤩 I’m wearing it the last few days constantly. This vanilla scent is so beautiful 🥰 sooo much better than victor, which is totally overhyped in my opinion. Thank you for your contents🙏🏼 you are so sweet and beautiful and spiritual ✨🫶
Thank you so much for watching and for the love and support. 💕🥰 I agree, Athena is quite beautiful. I've been enjoying it very much. I'm grateful that you're here. Have a beautiful rest of your week. 🥰
Oh Empire Victor is the best vanilla Ever.. I’ve been a fragrance lover, forever.. this is breathtaking.. I want to wear it everyday, I have to restrain.. Thank you so much for the reviews, insight and reminding us, um me to set my Goals , and work on them.. I think I get really mentally lazy.. to do my reflections, prayer and reading the word.. thanks for encouraging us..
Hi beauty! Thank you so much for your support. I am grateful that you are here. You are so welcome. Same here...I have days when I get mentally lazy as well. I have to give myself a good pep talk every now and again. 🥰
I bought Junoon Rose in June and it was all powder over cherry blossom and very “perfumy”. The next week I could smell the amaretto peaking through. Three months later this fragrance is BEAUTIFUL and blended! I love it!! I’m definitely going to get Junoon Noir soon so it can be ready for spring.
I got Athena recently and I’m in absolute love! Very much close to my BG! But??? It only lasting me 2-3 hours and then I can’t smell it so I have to touch it up, I was surprised yours lasted 6 hours! Mines a fresh batch so maybe it needs time to sit. But i also ended up getting Lattafa angham! Also a dupe for BG and that one is also a very recent fresh batch! And it beat both my BG and Athena! It is a lot more stronger and it projects a lot better! And lasted me about 6-7 hours and after my shower I can still smell it on my arms! I was blown away! So Lattafa to me is the Winner! I’m getting another bottle to never run out! 😂😂😂.
@@oyindamolaokewole4653 they are both close, but I say Athena has a green note to it, and angham is sweeter with more vanilla standing out, but both are beautiful and very close to BG
Hey sis!! You look gorgeous!! Great video! Thank you so much for tagging me. I’ll definitely try to do this one day but I don’t have nearly as many Arabian fragrances as of yet lol but I have a bunch on my wishlist. ❤ Every time I hear pronounce certain words it gives I just smile lol I LOVE it!! You speak so eloquently.
You have such a great, bubbly personality, that's really refreshing to see especially with the women nowadays, your husband is a lucky man 😏. But i really like your fragrance reviews, very detailed, and easy to understand. And as a man that likes affordable unisex gourmand scents, it definitely helps me to find to make a decision on fragrances i might like. Keep up with the great work, and continued success in the future.
Thank you for watching and the encouragement! I truly appreciate it! Your perspective (as a man) is very helpful for me. I will keep the videos coming. 🙏🏾💕
I stumbled across it on Amazon a few days ago. I shared the link in my community tab, but it sold out soooo quickly! Check my community tab for the original link.
You got me hooked on junoon rose and omg it is gorgeous in this fall breeze i am experiencing in NJ. One gentleman actually turned around in the park to ask what I was wearing so he could buy for his wife!
@@Dr.Kerleen it arrived! It’s a bit broken/leaked but still basically full and can decant to other little bottles to use it (Amazon made it right). However, it is beautiful! I’m really curious to see how it ages and hopefully deepens. It is a soft, sweet, creamy vanilla and light lemon (without being tart) perfume. It’s like a vanilla custard with the perfect amount of lemon. Only had it on for a few hours and is a skin scent but I do get little wafts and I’m sure it’s only going to get better. Tempted to buy another bottle as back up when I see one again.
I’m waiting for the music one before I decide on getting Athena although the Athena bottle is so much prettier. Can you smell any lavender in Athena? What percentage would you say is close to goddess?
Athena is 98% close to goddess, Lattafa angham is a lot more sweeter, more vanilla stands out, to me I love Lattafa wayyyy better than both my BG and Athena. But Athena is really beautiful it just not performing as good as Lattafa , also I notice my Lattafa performance is also better than my BG!!! And I payed top dollar for that one and was disappointed on performance
Ok...I love your content and I know I say that to you all the time. But gurl...how is it I have 6 out of the fragrances your reviewed. Keep doing you because we love it!
Aww...thank you, Queen. That made me smile and I'm so glad you are finding value and joy in my content. Thank you for encouraging me. It means more than you know. We are definitely nose sisters. 🥰🥰🥰
oh yayyy u finally got your empire victor. i knew you would absolutely love it. greats picks from the house. we have the same sentiments with maison alhambra but i feel like their dupes always performed and im happy now that their bottle presentations are keeping up. i preordered athena. i was on the fence to get burberry goddess for so long. bc it smells sweet, but for that price i dont think the dna is worth it. so when i heard abt athena i knew it was a sign. stuff i tried from maison alhambra are ones i ended up getting a full bottle after trying. montaigne coco, i feel like you would love. its a dupe pf mancera coco vanilla and it PERFORMS. however it has a synthetic edge which i i find also in older mancera fragrances. i also got infini rose after a long time of contemplating. i thought i could live off the decants bc it was soo long lasting😂 but i found a magical layering comba and finally got the FB. cant wait to see how the brand evolves. i also cant wait to get more from khadlaj afyer empire victor
Hi gorgeous! Yes...and it's amazing! Thank you for all of your amazing recommendations. Same here...BG is a beautiful fragrance but not worth the price tag for me personally. I will check out coco vanilla and revisit infinity rose. We have similar noses. 🥰 Khadlaj definitely has my attention now. 😆🥰😘
Hey, my gorgeous friend ❤ I took notes, and I'll be reporting back on Athena and Empire Victor (when back in stock). ❤❤❤ Oh, I think you should check out The Proposal Date Night. Sample it if you can.
Hi hon! I love all of your videos! I just got Juicy Melange based on your recommendation and I believe it’s a dupe for Amouage Portrayal Woman!! Let me know what you think!
Hi beauty! Thank you! I am so grateful or your support. 😘😘😘 Oooh...I have to try and get a sample of that. 😍 What aspects do you find similar between the two? Thank you so much for sharing that with me. 🙏🏾😘😘😘
@@Dr.Kerleen Hi love! The opening of both are very similar although Melange is more subdued. I want to let it macerate but I can almost bet this is the dupe for Portrayal.
It was on mine, too and then I stumbled across it on Amazon a few days ago. I shared the link in my community tab, but it sold out soooo quickly! Check my community tab for the link so you can continue to check on it. 😘
Al Haramain Junon noir must be in there 😂 I am contemplating buying it 🤭 Lol wrong pick 😂, I might be the one who prefer junon noir, can't seem to decide which one I should buy
You were close, friend! 😆 That's the one that made say "oh, it wasn't a fluke". Both are so beautiful. I do think Junoon Noir is the one that is more universal and appropriate year-round. 😘😘😘
Khamrah qahwa is way better than Khamrah, imo. I was overwhelmed with the spices in Khamrah, while Khamrah qahwa smells well rounded and lovely, albeit a bit on the masculine side.
When I first got Athena was $20 and I bought it on the Blind by and I didn't know what it was dupe but once I got it it was a hot summer day so when I sprayed it you know how with Middle Eastern fragrances sometimes they don't smell right because they're warm and so I had to wait for it to cool off and then I sprayed it out and then I sprayed it on me and I thought it was a d u p e Donna Warren and roma to me Burberry goddess I think it's a combination it's really good for $20 I'm glad I got it I don't particularly like the top of the bottle but the bottle itself is fine but the top throws me off the lattaf has a new one out supposed to smell very similar to Burberry goddess I have a very goddess and I also bought the Latasha version it's good it's Milder
How did i only discover your channel now? Your positivity gets to me on this sat morning,girl! Was browsing for review on athena & found you here. Empire victor is one of my fav tbh especially the bubble scents. Khadlaj is definitely one brand that everyone is sleeping on.

Which will you say is a closer to BG between Athena and Angham please?
@@oyindamolaokewole4653 I would say Athena
@@oyindamolaokewole4653 they are both close, but I say Athena has a green note to it, and angham is sweeter with more vanilla standing out, but both are beautiful and very close to BG
Hi beauty! I recently did a comparison video! th-cam.com/video/TsuHsbnwhQ4/w-d-xo.html
I got empire victor and athena, and I totally love them.
Same here...they are both so beautiful. 🥰
Can't wait to try Empire!
Hi friend! Let me know what you think of it when you receive it. 😘😘😘
I love the corporate look Ker-leen, nice pair of earrings 😊
Thank you, friend! 😘😘😘
Awesome! So glad you did this and these definitely are Aha moment fragrances ❤
Thanks for doing this tag and for tagging me! 😘🙏🏾🥰
Nice! Can I suggest instead of Athena, try Lattafa Angham? Cost more than Athena but worth to try.
I have a video coming up next with my thoughts on Angham...thank you lovely! 😘
@@Dr.Kerleen yay! Can’t wait ❤️
Hi Karleen! I am so glad you like Empire Victor. It is stunning! Perfection really 😊. I’ve got my back up bottle on the way in . LOOOVE LOVE LOVE
Where did you buy it from? Can you share the place?
It's so beautiful and I'm glad I went ahead and picked it up. 😘 I may have to get a back up bottle as well. We'll see how fast I use it. 🥰

Hello Dr. Kerleen I guessed the fragrance would be Junoon Rose! It is a lovely fragrance and I love Maison Alhambra Athena. Enjoyed your content!

I absolutely LOVE ATHENA!! It smells better than Burberry Goddess IMO!
Hi friend! Thanks for sharing your experience with the two! Athena is lovely, for sure. 💕
What is Junoon Rose a dupe of?
Amouage's Blossom Love 🫶🏾
❤❤❤❤❤
💕😘💕
Why do you consider Athenas unisex?
In my opinion it's unisex because I could see a man wearing as well...not too sweet or floral.
Khamrah qahwa is way better than Khamrah, imo. I was overwhelmed with the spices in Khamrah, while Khamrah qahwa smells well rounded and lovely, albeit a bit on the masculine side.
