Yay! I'm thrilled that you're reviewing middle eastern perfumes. Honestly, you would be one of the very very few influencers I'd trust for an honest review. I trust your nose lol...bc I think many ME perfumes are gas bombs. 😊❤
There are certainly a few gems from some of those middle eastern brands. A LOT of generic misses, but a few goodies. And over the years, they've gotten sooo much better at what they do.
Nice. I'm definitely getting the first two. So far my favorite Middle Easterns have been from The One collection...Luminous, Royal & Mysterious Night. All masterpieces imho.😊
Turkey! The local stores typically have a "niche" line which are mostly extrait de parfum and they are not expensive! I regret only buying two bottles from MAD and Bargello.
Congrats! You are my favorite rewier, I’ so glad you are looking at the middle eastern parfums. Let’s make more democratic acceses to the premium scents
When it comes to quality middle eastern fragrances, I put my money to Armaf, Afnan, some Lattafa or Maison Alhambra, Alharamain, and French Avenue, and a few Paris Corner
I recently picked up Lattafa’s Khamrah Qahwa, the super hyped coffee flanker to the original Khamrah. Gotta say, it’s a perfectly unisex yummy spice bomb and worth the hype, especially at $33.
I highly recommend checking out Ajmal Amir One and Two. Both are fantastic ouds, and for the unprepared noses might be too much to handle. Worth checking out!
Wow - Sebastian, thanks for the review of Shaghaf - I've heard so much about this, but have been waiting for your seal of approval! Very excited to try!
My curent favorites would be Al Nashama and Al Nashama Capris, Nebras, Musamam, Exclusif Tabac, Emeer, Oud Azraq and Neroli Canvas at least when it comes to the affordsble Middle Eastern scents
I picked up Ahuja's Royal Bleu on a (female) friend's recommendation. Can't remember what she said it was a good copy/blend of, but sure why not for the price. Women seem to like it, I'm kinda meh about it. I'm not super-inclined to pick up more Arabics. I'll smell em, but they're just not hitting it out of the park, and I'm not sure why. Wearing Hermès H24 edt today. Definitely more representative of my preferences.
Great video, Sebastian. Keep up the good work. Also, try to get your nose on more middle eastern fragrances, you'll be surprised on how far they've come in quality and blending. Here's a few of my favorites worth getting: Lattafa vintage radio, Lattafa Niche Emarati Mughal Fort, Oak preference, Franck Olivier Pure Addiction, Fragrance World Giovanni Lorenzi Sienna, Pariscorner Celestial, Fragrance World Jack of clubs, Alhambra Megara and Lattafa Masa.
The reason why the last one was so flat may have been that it needs to sit and macerate. Often middle eastern perfumes come to you kind of wimpy, and sometimes if you spray them out, like 10 sprays and put them away for a month they improve. Sometimes it's just bad formulation, it happens.
Ok interested now in this Shaghaf Oud Azraq, enough to blind buy it :) So many fragrances listing tobacco as a note, but then it's nowhere to be smelled. And not thinking just about Zara's Rich Warm Addictive. Even JPG le Male Elixir (allegedly with tobacco) is one that the perfumer Aaron Terence Hughes said does not have actual tobacco in it, or at least he did not smell tobacco in it.
Appreciate discovering new fragrances through your channel and the down to earth reviews. What a great subject! Really want to try the Stronger with You Tobacco, but perplexed by the lack of tobacco scent in reviews. 😂
Hi, just got Shaghaf oud Azraq, and I think it’s have to get a serious maceration. At first use I got a blast of alcohol and a bad dense sour scent. I really hopping that it will get better… Did you also get that first impression with azraq?
Hey Sebastian! Teriaq reminds me of TF Noir Pour Femme, although many people say it’s inspired by La Belle JPG, which I don’t necessarily agree with. Hope this helps!
Honestly it's garbage. I wouldn't get close to it with a 10 foot pole. Goes in the the circular bin or save it for when I do bad blind buys or worst fragrances videos!
I don't get the connection to Delina at all. Someone below also mentioned similar to Noir Femme from Tom Ford same thing not similar. There's a faint reminder of Vesper Glitz by Ex Nihilo but someone mentioned it's similar to La Belle by JPG which are created by Givaudan perfumers like Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant and Teriaq is also Quentin Bisch and also Vesper Glitz is created by a Givaudan perfumer. Go figure if that's all connected? To me it seems like it! :)
Hey Sebastian 👋🏻 hopefully I am traveling throw Qatar soon and Looking forward to pick some at the airport 🥰. In my experience most of them are very potent and beefy incensy. Thank you 🙏🏼😊
Hi Sebastian! I liked that you showed us some options of ME fragrances but I'll stick with the niches. We do not deny that many ME fragrances are good but finding them is the difficult part. I stopped buying them and the ones I have are unused. I trust your judgment a lot. So if you say that any ME fragrance is good then I will consider buying it. Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇺🇸🌴
I do love Abdul Samad Al Qurashi. Safari Extreme is probably my favorite Middle Eastern fragrance of all time. Thank God I found another bottle finally!!
I love Arabian perfumes!! There are so many though, I find myself blind buying though because I can't sample. I really want to try more of the Swiss Arabian line. I love the unisex Shaghaf Oud EDP so much, I'm currently trying to find the blue Tonka bottle in europe.
all of these fragrances from clone brands need to macerate for atleast a month. all of the ones I have changed immensely in longevity and depth the longer iv had them. it's just the way it is with these
Saw that Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq at Burlington for $20-something recently, and passed it by. Went back a day later, after looking it up, and it was gone. Oh well.
How do niche houses justify their outrageous prices when a house can make fantastic scents for as little as 10% their price. Chanel and Guerlain can learn a thing or two and lower their prices.
I’m a month behind on this video… I don’t know how I didn’t see this one. I feel like you reviewed all the wrong fragrances. There’s some unbelievable tobacco/oud beasts out there.

Terriakk smells like La belle by John Paul Gautier
Yay! I'm thrilled that you're reviewing middle eastern perfumes. Honestly, you would be one of the very very few influencers I'd trust for an honest review. I trust your nose lol...bc I think many ME perfumes are gas bombs. 😊❤
That blue swiss arabian a beast one of my favorite over 200+frangrances i agree smell expensive for the price
Middle Eastern fragrances are the best. Would've loved to see Arabian Oud and ASAQ. You're killing us with only five options!!
Thanks Sebastian
oh men I was waiting for this please bring more from the Middle Eastern scents
Definitely appreciate this some of the Middle Eastern fragrances are way better than most designers and some niche considering the price.
I love middle eastern fragrances so I'm glad to hear this review.
Hope you enjoy it!
There are certainly a few gems from some of those middle eastern brands. A LOT of generic misses, but a few goodies. And over the years, they've gotten sooo much better at what they do.
Teriaq is my absolute favorite fragrance from a Middle Eastern house. I’ve gone through a bottle. On my next
Thank you for reviewing middle eastern fragrances! I value your opinion and the information you provide. Many thanks 🙏🏼
Appreciate it.
Nice. I'm definitely getting the first two. So far my favorite Middle Easterns have been from The One collection...Luminous, Royal & Mysterious Night. All masterpieces imho.😊
Turkey! The local stores typically have a "niche" line which are mostly extrait de parfum and they are not expensive! I regret only buying two bottles from MAD and Bargello.
Sebastian, you need to try Liam grey, the antique collections from Lattafa and the Suit/the Tux
So happy to see that you like Teriaq! In love that one! I’m enjoying a lot of Swiss Arabian fragrances too. Great quality for the price.
I just got Casablanca.😊
Congrats! You are my favorite rewier, I’ so glad you are looking at the middle eastern parfums. Let’s make more democratic acceses to the premium scents
Please try more from Ahmed Al Maghribi. My suggestions would be - Ignite Oud, Blu Oud, Leather, Summer Oud, and Marj
I have had Azraq for a while now and it is a 10/10 masterpiece, so good
I was looking forward to you reviewing Middle Eastern fragrances...SO many out there and it is hard to choose!
Soo the 3 fragrances from the mystery box i enjoyed the most were
Crayon - Caramel days🔥
Les Eaux Primordiales - Iris Palladium🔥
Day Three - Bani🔥
YAY!!!
Finally what I love!!!!!
When it comes to quality middle eastern fragrances, I put my money to Armaf, Afnan, some Lattafa or Maison Alhambra, Alharamain, and French Avenue, and a few Paris Corner
I have LATTAFA TERIAQ and I Love it!!!
It's a lovable scent for sure.
Oh this is so exciting! I thought I’d never see Sebastian reviewing middle eastern fragrances! Lol
Whoo hoo! Sebastian goes middle eastern lol Ive been hoping for this!!
Musamam Is so addictive! 💣💥💨
Thank you, I ❤ Middle Eastern fragrances n they are soooo affordable 🙏🏿😊
Finally!! I’ve been dying for a middle eastern fragrance video. Thank you so much 🙏
ajayeb dubai portrait by Lataffa is a favorite. Mango and jasmine. Love Arabian perfumes. I think they have many good quality scents. Great video! 🌸
Teriaq is a clone of Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle or at minimum very similar.
Let me guess QB created La Belle as well? LOL!
@@ThePerfumeGuyyep 🤣

I't really good btw!! I like that you can smell the honey and the oud!!
Teriaq has been on my wish list since its release. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤ I’m glad you found some scents you love.
YES! Finally! Thank you Sebastian!
Orientica velvet gold is so special and smells expensive, try it!
Great video on middle eastern fragrances. Looking forward to more. I am really loving Shaghaf Oud Tonka!👌🏾
I'll be spending some money tonight! 😂
I love middle eastern perfumes favorite house is Arabian Oud. Put ur nose on Ignite Oud by Ahmed Al Maghribi 🔥🔥
My curent favorites would be Al Nashama and Al Nashama Capris, Nebras, Musamam, Exclusif Tabac, Emeer, Oud Azraq and Neroli Canvas at least when it comes to the affordsble Middle Eastern scents
Thanks for this video Sebastian! For now, its Choco Musk!
Would be nice to see you review Patek Maison. I grabbed "Vert" when i came across them, and was intrigued by a few others.
I've seen some reviews that say Teriaq is similar to La Belle by Jean Paul Gautier... Will be ordering a bottle soon.
Sebastian yes! Been waiting for your review of some Middle Eastern frags.
Have you considered reviewing Maison de Noya? I’m so curious about that house. Bottles are stunning and they worked with Dominique Ropion.
I picked up Ahuja's Royal Bleu on a (female) friend's recommendation. Can't remember what she said it was a good copy/blend of, but sure why not for the price.

YES IT IS ITS AWESOME I BLIND BOUGHT IT & TRY THE ASWAD ONE CANT LOSE
I wished i saw some arabian oud or abdulsammad qurashi as they are very popular in middle east
oh wow Middle eastern! atlast! you should try more of Lattafa and Khadlaj.
Dear sir try please other fragrances from the Maison (ParisCorner) ex Celestial from Paris Corner
I love the shagaf oud Azraq, similar to Honey Aoud, but stronger than the curent formulation.
Shaghaf Oud Azraq is really good, my bottle is empty, I need a new one. 🌹
Finally.... thank youuuu.. we need more videos ❤
Thank you so much for making this video, Sebastian!
can you please do a video which talks about similar smelling perfumes so we dont buy the same smelling ones
Appreciate discovering new fragrances through your channel and the down to earth reviews. What a great subject! Really want to try the Stronger with You Tobacco, but perplexed by the lack of tobacco scent in reviews. 😂
You might get the tobacco, please check it out and see. I just don't get it myself! Thank you for stopping by! :)
thank you for calling them Middle Eastern and not Arab, like other influencers. Love from Lebanon, love you sebastian. 🇱🇧
My pleasure!!
Can you make a Carnation centered perfume video please?
Hi, just got Shaghaf oud Azraq, and I think it’s have to get a serious maceration. At first use I got a blast of alcohol and a bad dense sour scent.
I really hopping that it will get better…
Did you also get that first impression with azraq?
I first discovered clones while living in Dubai. I admit I have gone a little overboard! 😂
Shagaf oud abyad from swiss arabian is unreal cheapie alternative to amouage interlude. Just unreal fragrance for 30€
Please do a video on good perfumes available in Europe but not in USA. I planning for Europe tour will pick couple of them.
Hey Sebastian! Teriaq reminds me of TF Noir Pour Femme, although many people say it’s inspired by La Belle JPG, which I don’t necessarily agree with. Hope this helps!
I don't get the noir femme connection. I have it but must compare.
Milano Prive is supposedly a 1 Million Prive clone. I had a feeling it wouldn't compare to the original.
Honestly it's garbage. I wouldn't get close to it with a 10 foot pole. Goes in the the circular bin or save it for when I do bad blind buys or worst fragrances videos!
Lattafa Teriaq is supposed to smell like Delina. Don’t know if this is true or not as I haven’t tried Lattafa Teriaq.
I don't get the connection to Delina at all. Someone below also mentioned similar to Noir Femme from Tom Ford same thing not similar. There's a faint reminder of Vesper Glitz by Ex Nihilo but someone mentioned it's similar to La Belle by JPG which are created by Givaudan perfumers like Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant and Teriaq is also Quentin Bisch and also Vesper Glitz is created by a Givaudan perfumer. Go figure if that's all connected? To me it seems like it! :)
correction : Shaghaf oud line are 75ml bottles 😌
I want the Swiss Arabian and Lattafah. Love gourmand.
Yes you do love your gourmands. Then you would be happy with the first two and even the third one. Keep in mind the first one is quite masculine! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuyHi! How masculine are we talking about? Azraq has been on my wishlist for a while, but now I'm not so sure...😅
The Oud and Woods make it masculine while the honey tones it down. So I would say it's unisex but more masculine than the Lattafa in this video! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thanks😊
Hey Sebastian 👋🏻 hopefully I am traveling throw Qatar soon and Looking forward to pick some at the airport 🥰. In my experience most of them are very potent and beefy incensy. Thank you 🙏🏼😊
YES totally beefy!! But not the last fragrance in this video. So much of a letdown.
Hi Sebastian! I liked that you showed us some options of ME fragrances but I'll stick with the niches. We do not deny that many ME fragrances are good but finding them is the difficult part.

Blue oud Ibraheem Al Qurashi .Abdul samad al Qurashi Safari and special blend. Hawas Rasasi
I do love Abdul Samad Al Qurashi. Safari Extreme is probably my favorite Middle Eastern fragrance of all time. Thank God I found another bottle finally!!
Sometimes you have to let those middle eastern fragrances macerate. They are not always gtg out of the box.
I love Arabian perfumes!! There are so many though, I find myself blind buying though because I can't sample. I really want to try more of the Swiss Arabian line. I love the unisex Shaghaf Oud EDP so much, I'm currently trying to find the blue Tonka bottle in europe.
Oh I need to try the Tonka for sure!!
Plse more middle eastern fragrance reviews plse..
I believe Teriaq reminds you of La Belle, also created by Quentin.
The spirit of dubai, must try !
More of these🔥
Absolutely!!
Thanks for sharing 😇
My pleasure 😊
Great video as always
Thanks again!
dear Mr. Sebastian the Hirfah fragrance is from the Maison of Ahmad Al Maghribi so its not Ahmed Hirfa
According to Fragrancebuy it's Ahmed not Ahmad! And the bottle says Ahmed not Ahmad! :)
all of these fragrances from clone brands need to macerate for atleast a month. all of the ones I have changed immensely in longevity and depth the longer iv had them. it's just the way it is with these
Sebastian, since its middle eastern fragrances but inexpensive, do I have to spray a lot to last?
It depends on the fragrance. Probably spray more of Teriaq and less of Oud Azraq! :)
Love your videos 😊
Glad you like them!
Saw that Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq at Burlington for $20-something recently, and passed it by. Went back a day later, after looking it up, and it was gone. Oh well.
Oh bummer! :(
Have you tried
LATTAFA ATLAS 🌊🌊🌊
I have many middle eastern fragrances from the usual suspects and they're great! Need to get Azraq and Teriaq. Thanks you Sebastian!!!
Enjoy!
Carmel Macchiato
Wow!! I didnt this video ftom you!!😮 interesting 😊
Didn't expect it?
@ThePerfumeGuy not really to be honest 🤣
So then, do you not like Middle Eastern Fragrances?
@ThePerfumeGuy i do but not all of them.i have Khamrah and Nebras and i absolutely love them ❤️
That's cool!!
I have Abdul samad alqurashi taif rose 🌹 amazing
thanks brother
but there are soooo many other better mid east fragrances then your place 3-5
Please share which ones you think are better.
Have you reviewed Spirit of Dubai fragrances?
Long time ago. I have a few that I mention once in a while.
@@ThePerfumeGuy I have Meydan., and I really enjoy it. I just need to save money to buy more, but I also keep buying more fragrances 😅
How do niche houses justify their outrageous prices when a house can make fantastic scents for as little as 10% their price. Chanel and Guerlain can learn a thing or two and lower their prices.
Lattafa, Al Haramain, Rasasi, Fragrance World, are primarily clone houses...at least for the Fragrances we get from them in the US.
Not true, they have a ton of original releases and attars also most of their clones are rather inspired by and not 100% clones
Yes and many designers are realeasing "inspired by" scents that do well atm
@@blackcat6508 Maybe so, but most fragrances I've seen from these houses are clones. Also, inspired by fragrances are clones.
Facts.facts
Finally!!!! 😂
First comment ❤
Hello!!
Gissah please for next video
I’m a month behind on this video… I don’t know how I didn’t see this one. I feel like you reviewed all the wrong fragrances. There’s some unbelievable tobacco/oud beasts out there.
No thank you. No FB for me.😢😢
❤️❤️❤️
