Middle Eastern fragrances take a lot of pride in their packaging and in the juice itself. They are works of art and so affordable. I respect them more because they make them affordable for all instead of slapping an outrageous price point on something just to make someone think it's luxury. Great reviews! Thank you ♥
I agree with what you said. They offer a lot of good quality perfumes that match the expensive ones in the market in a very friendly and reasonable prices.
Hi Joanna. Another beautifully descriptive video. My list is getting so long, but I value and appreciate the recommendations ❤❤❤❤ thank you for creating and sharing
Hey guys. About the site Joanna talks about at the beginning of the video. If you decide to order there, do it with caution. Their customer service is really bad, they just do not answer any complaints. Also, people had received their packages with not the perfumes they ordered, smaller bottles than ordered, half of the order missing, bottles broken and leaking. I already got burned on this. So be careful and check the reviews first. Have a great day.
@@AmiAbroad Oh, i'm glad that everything went well for you. But I guess not everyone is lucky. I just hope they will at least improve their customer service.
@@jmercadobeauty Hey Joanna. As stated in my original comment, I did reach out to them. Multiple times. I haven't gotten a single response. But it was some time ago, so I'm hoping their customer service got better. I'm glad though, that your experience with them was good. It makes me think that they may have fixed the issue.
I hope you really like sweet gourmands. I am normally not a gourmands girlie but I love Italica as it’s the first gourmand that really enjoyed. It’s a Christmas scent to me 🎄☺️
Dear Joanna, thank you for this video. I took some photos of my Middle Eastern perfumes , starting with the first ones I bought after watching your video over a year ago ( I truly love those and thank you) and was a little bit surprised at how many perfumes I now own 😅🤣😂. I actually had to stop about half way as I realized I do own far too many. I love most of them. 4 or so are perhaps a so so for me and 3 are a no but one is on the border and I am still letting it macerate. So I am on a perfume buying break, and staying strong as my perfume cupboards are filled to the brim 😁 but if I were to buy one or 2 it would be Mango Kiss by French Avenue and the incredible Miraj Exclusif for sure, especially the last one sounds like my kind or perfume love. But until then I will just enjoy hearing and seeing the new perfumes in your videos. Lots of love from very cold ( snow down to the 400 meter levels) Tasmania, enjoy your summer ❤💐🌹🥀, lots of love, Tia 🌺❤💜❤
Hi Joanna! Nice list... in fact, I own all but two of these..😂 I ordered Voux Patisserie, which was kind of risky for me because I had a decant of Italica some time ago and found it too sweet. However, another content creator reviewed this fragrance and said the fragrance was sweet, but not overly so. So I ordered it. And I really like it! Perhaps my taste has changed? 🤔 I love Miraj! Again, I blind bought it (I know, I know 🙈), but va va voom! 🤓It is spicy, sexy, and deep. It's going to be lovely when the weather cools down. Very interested in the Diwani line! Fragrance World has been knocking it out of the park as of late. Liquid Brun is sooo good! An excellent dupe of Althaïr!
Karen! You’re a pro 🙌🏻 I think as you collect more and more perfumes, your taste will definitely change. I never pulled the trigger for Italica as I use it exclusively on Christmas holidays so a dupe is just perfect for me. Miraj is so rich! I love it! I don’t know where to buy it though. I saw a site selling it for €80 😳
I agree with your descripton of Rabat, it reminds me of Tyger too. By the way I bought this perfumes because of your recommendations. Do you think it needs maceration? Will it get better after a while? Mine bottle is produced in June … definitely a very new one. By the way I’ve subscribed to your Chanel because I think your reviews are quite honest and your descriptions are spot on
Joanna... wow! I got the Miraj Exclusif & it is, to me, spot on Bewitching Yasmine. It was fine at first spray, but getting better every day. Very beast mode & I think more for cooler weather. Two sprays had people following me to ask what it was. I also have the Eclair, which is plenty for me. I think Bianco Latte is too syrupy & Eclair is just right. I have ordered the Voux Patisserie & can't wait to have it. I've always wanted Italica, but the price! Thanks for these great reviews.
Hi there! Wow great to hear a confirmation about Bewitching Yasmine similarity. I’m glad you love it! How’s Voux Patisserie? I feel the same about Italica. Great but I wont pay for that price for something I will only use in Christmas timezzz
@@jmercadobeauty The Voux Patisserie seems OK, the opening is different, more tangy. The weather is so hot here, it's not a good time to test much, but the drydown is very close. Cooler weather will be a better time. That's fine with me, as both of them will have time to macerate. I think most Arabians use a different alcohol or carrier oils than most Western brands. Once they sit, the sharp smell evaporates out. I really enjoy your content.❤️
I got Miraj Exclusif a couple of months ago. It smells close enough to Penhaligon's - The Bewitching Yasmine to me. I had a decant of the original and it gives me enough of what I need. It has gotten better as it sat.
I want miraj exclusive but some say it's animalic some say it's not i also want eclair and her confession I like sweet scents which one is worth trying will be blind buy though
Joanna, I already have Eclaire, can you tell me if Voux Patiserie is similar to it, because I don't like to have parums in my collection that are similar. Very good video❤❤😘🙏
Hey! I sprayed them side by side now and I can confirm that they are not redundant. Voux Patisserie is note almond and caramel while Eclaire is mainly vanilla and caramel. Both are very sweet and full on gourmand 😀
Hi Joanna, Tropical Kiss sounds divine!! Beautiful packaging for the last three😍 I got Musamam White Intense (thank you so much!). Sooo stunning and my first ME full bottle. Seriously gobsmacked at the quality. I heard you compared it slightly to Dolce Garden. I have been eyeing that one as well due to the coconut note. What is your review of it? Is it more floral or coconut forward? Too sweet? Really value your opinion😊 Have you tried Fragrance World Glorious Oud Royal Blanc? Apparently it’s the best dupe of Musk Therapy (about 90-95% similar)😮
Glad you enjoyed MWI 🥰 Dolce Garden is more on the florals qnd coconut water while MWI is more on creamy coconut and sandalwood. I love both and don’t see them as redundant ☺️ I haven’t tried that dupe yet (Musk Therapy) but will check it out 😉
Oh well I love Italica so for me it’s a love as it saved me lots of money. Italica has been on mu wish list for a very long time. I understand if people won’t like it though. It can be too gourmand…
I don’t like Bianco latte either, I have a 5ml sample, the first time I tested it, it was a scrubber! Along with all the other times I have sampled it since it came out. This makes me hesitant to try its dupes. Very nauseating
Eclaire is 1:1 Bianco Latte to me minus the thickness. I like it a lot as it covers Bianco Latte to my collection and it’s also great for layering. Not my favorite scent profile and it doesn’t make me nauseous…
Hey Joanna intriguing list 🌻🌻 I stumbled upon Miraj Exclusif when it recently got added to Fragrantica and have been thinking about getting it for a few weeks. You are the first person I’ve seen review it. I love the note structure 🤎💜🖤💙 Mmmmm…..you might have pushed me over the edge. Think it can be worn at night in the summer?
Hi Jill! The moment I saw it available in the website, I had a feeling I will love it and I did 🥰 Anyway yeah I think it’s ok in summer nights. Oh well if you love the scent, you’ll rock it any time and any day ☺️

Thank you, after watching your review, I feel relieved. Now I'm gonna order Voux Pettisier and Qissa Delicious. Thanks a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad it helped. Those perfumes are delicious! 😊
I’ve been searching for a dupe for Italica for months 😍 thanks for sharing!

Love your video ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🥰
My Miraj just arrived :-) Very special sent, not for every day wear I think
Ooohhh yehey!!! Glad you like it. Yes I think it will shine more in fall and winter 💞
@@jmercadobeauty hope longevity will gets better. Love it but doesn't last long.

Glorious oud is very accurate to musk therapy . Good blended and longevity about 6-8 hours on my skin
@@SN-gw8om Ooh nice one, that’s almost double the longevity of Musk Therapy on me. I assume moderate projection?
How about diwani cairo?
Love you and your taste nose❤
Thank you 🥹💕 Happy New Year!
Hey, I was wondering where you got the Diwani perfumes, did you go in person or online? Please let me know🙏
Hi! I got it online @ dubaicollection.eu ☺️
I haven't heard anyone else say yhey liked Voux Patisserie.
Oh well I love Italica so for me it’s a love as it saved me lots of money. Italica has been on mu wish list for a very long time.
I understand if people won’t like it though. It can be too gourmand…

I’ll say all year round… ✨

Can a man wear voux patisserie?
If you like gourmands, yes why not…
Hello, do you think "Emir VOUX PATISSERIE" would be good for a man? Do you think a man would smell sexy with this perfume?
Hello! If you enjoy smelling like toffee and caramel then why not?! ☺️
