  • Hello my Angels!
    Finally got to make the declutter video and managed to get rid of 13 perfumes. Well 12 in reality but one sneaked in as a surprise. It is like Annabelle not wanting to leave me alone. Well she goes this instant! LOL!

    I really enjoy declutter videos, as they help me to learn your taste so I know for your future recs. I think out of all the reviewers, you are the closest to my taste, even tho culturally we are so far apart :) I had so many fails from Paulina Shar's recs (who is from Poland like me) and quite a few gems from yours (like the Evoke Gold and Armaf Ego that not many people talk about. The Ego will always remind me of your story buying off all the JPG Fragile perfumes haha). Also, let me tell you how BEAUTIFUL your are! You have the most dreamy eyes I have ever seen. Thank you for your hard work and sending best wishes from UK x x

      oh in case you're looking for new purchases, I would love to hear about the new Le Labo Noir 29 dupe and Another 13, also Eternal Musk (dupe for Not a Perfume by JHG). Friendly Lady Extreme Fragrance World - Lady Milion Prive dupe - Im really interested if this cheapie is any good!). AFNAN Supremacy Tapis Rouge. Aventos Her Fragrance World - is this a new clone or old? I also can't decide for the best Ombre Nomade dupe - Jean Lowe Ombre (Noir) Maison Alhambra or the new The Shadow from Khadlaj? I'm also curious of Clare Eternal (Khalis) dupe for Penhaligon.

      @SiminShaikh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am so happy that our tastes are similar my hun ❤ My closest taste match with another reviewer is Mila Le Blanc although we are so very different. Thats the beauty of fragrances I feel.
      Hahaha I am still looking for a bottle of Fragile if I can find it at a good price here in Dubai.
      You are so very kind my hun ❤ And you made my day. Love & Light your way babe xo ❤❤❤

      @jamayaaaa I actually no longer watch Paulina for exactly this reason. Unsubscribed like 1.5yrs back. While she's a gourmand lover, like me (though I have quite a wide range of preferences when it comes to perfume. It's faster to say what I don't like, lol), I have a feeling I either can't trust her nose OR her taste - maybe both. Besides, I am also drawn towards certain personalities, with a certain way of presenting.
      So, there are only 4 perfume reviewers left for me: Simin, Coco Pebz (UK/Jamaican), A Fragrant Glance (Romanian), and Cee Chronicles (South America, forget where now). Cee often has a different taste than I do, as well as a different skintype* (* my very dry skin will definitely negatively influence things like beastmode and longevity), but she's pretty good and probably has the biggest collection of Middle Eastern perfumes, especially the viral brands - as well as long & short reviews about them - of anyone on YT. Handy overviews of dupes from different makers as well. However, only Coco, Sim, and Loredana can make me want to "add to cart" in a hurry 😁. Coco is a huge fan of FromAbiWithLove, so I might watch a few of her reviews/tips as well to see if she fits my YT preferences. Who would you recommend?

    Hi I'm a big fan of your videos and your cheerful personality. I think this whole Emir series is inspired by Mancera and Cherry Cola is inspired by Tonka Cola. Never smelled the original but really like this version and especially the spicy cinnamon note. Sorry to hear u don't like it but I'm sure u will easily find it a new loving home for it :) Sending lots of love from England x

    • @SiminShaikh
      @SiminShaikh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Heya my hun ❤ Thank you so much my Angel. Laughter makes everything better. The bottles of the Emir range are stunning. Right up my alley. I think you are right, coz they have Instant Crush, the Tobacco one etc. I reaaaaally tried to like the Cherry Cola :( and I am so happy you like it. I really want some good Cola scents like Lamsat Harir which I absolutely adore ❤❤❤

    My new rule in declutter is that I do them every 3 months. If I find one that I'm iffy about, I'll keep it, but if I haven't used it by the next declutter, it goes bye-bye. ❤

Could be day and night, or winter and summer. For the freshy lover, the gourmand fan and so on.

    ❤ Hey, my lovely angel ❤. Iam so impressed with your declutter RESPECT 🙏.
    I am such a hoarder and having a large house ( especially for 2 people, but we always thought there would be one or 2 more, but that's another sad story) it makes easy to keep sentimental things.
    When I get rid of long covid, I will ruthlessly declutter.
    I so understand that a perfume can make you feel annoyed 😅.
    Gerry often laughs and is still amazed at how smells affect me and my mood.
    Yesterday we went for a walk in cold sunny weather and my coat and scarf both had different perfumes than what I was wearing and it became magical. 🙃 I could not stop smelling the scent bubble and smiled like a made woman 😅.
    I actually did not want to take them off inside😂.
    The pink one called Alive Now, surprised me. Gerry bought it for me and especially on mild weather days I like wearing it.
    I like a few of the Maison Alhambra range.
    Hun, I hope your cough heals soon. Please look after yourself.❤
    You look stunningly beautiful ❤.
    Smoochies to Markus 🐱 and purrs from Pushkin and Sunti ❤🐱🐈.
    So much love to you always ❤️ Tia

      I knowwww. I was so brave with the declutter lol. We are the same you and I. I am also a hoarder, but off ;late something changed in me and I just feel like getting rid of everything I dont use or use less of. The declutters make me feel good (not to mention I get money selling them to buy new ones lol).
      I know what you mean by scent leftovers mixing together and creating something so beautiful. We do not even realize which perfumes those were anymore ❤
      My cough is almost gone now. It was a very severe Bronchitis due to pollution and dust during travel.
      Thank you my gorgeous hun. Are you feeling any better babe?
      Sooooooo much love your way and all the healing energy I can muster your way xo

      @@SiminShaikh My lovely Sim, I could not reply as I have had another shocker of a migraine, could not see much but light flashes. Not sure if this is happening as we have such glary sunlight right now with the sun being at its lowest point ( 21 st of June is the winter solstice so from then onwards the sun appears higher in the sky again making life easier). I seem to get a bad one every one to 2 weeks now and it means I cannot read and find using a computer tricky for a few days as my head hurts and eyesight is affected.
      I do have very pale green eyes which means that sunlight affects me and any glare causes problems , I have been told it has to do with the light eye colour.
      But I need to get my eyes checked out again as well, after 4 eye surgeries I really hope I do not need the 5th one which is not an easy one and has a high risk. It is 8 degrees Celsius here but so sunny, the sun is incredible when it is so low in the sky, we are right at the lower end of this world and I tend to forget this, next stop Antarctica 🤣😂but with the sun it means even with low temperatures no heating is required until the sun goes down. Our house is built to capture the warmth of the sun in winter and this helps. I am so sorry to read about your cough and severe Bronchitis due to pollution and dust is no good at all. I am glad it is getting better. Are you drinking plenty of water, my hun? One thing I learned that this has helped a bit with my long covid cough, but of course coughing and drinking is a tricky combination as I have learned 🤣, water everywhere but not where it should be.
      I think the cold weather does not help with Long Covid but I am OK , just wish those migraines would vanish or get less. Thank you for sending me healing energy, I send blessings and healing energy to you every evening before going to sleep. I think of all my loved ones and send love, light, healing energy and blessings before I go to sleep.
      Yes, those scent left overs mixing together can be pure magic. I still have not been able to identify one of the perfumes on my warmest winter coat, but getting close to eliminating the ones it cannot be 😂. The scarf has a combination of Amethyst from a cold day, and also some Berlinetta from another cool day and this with Opulent Red produced an incredible scent bubble that made me so happy.
      I will tidy and declutter my perfume cupboard soon, I must as I do want 2 more perfumes at some stage later this year. I must declutter the rest of the house when I get my energy back as Gerry and I want to do some renovations.
      He is much better at de cluttering than I am. I worry I miss something 😂and I feel sentimental about things so they cannot be thrown away 🤣.
      Oh, Markus 🙀has had his summer hair cut, oh, I want so see that precious boy. Poor baby, he must have not been impressed 🙀😾, like Sunti when he gets a bit of a trim in his lederhosen 🤣😂 or Fledermaus Bottom 😂. He lets us do this though and does not misbehave but a little hiss afterwards to say he is not impressed. Bless his sweet soft nature. Smoochies to Markus and purrs from Pushkin and Sunti 😻😺
      So much love to you, always , your Tia ❤❤❤

    Raghba Wood Intense was such a major disappointment to me 😢. I bought it based on a pyramid that was obviously incorrect. I didn't get ANY caramely sugar or any other warm, nice notes. I get...."Rotten wood! YES!" You actually just said it in the video😅. That's what I get, too. Rotten wood with something extra really sharp. I hate it. And what's worse: it's super strong! I couldn't wash it off and only used 1 spray on my arm. Not even alcohol did the job, and both my room & I smelled disgusting the whole day. From ONE spray. Sigh... I currently have 2 full shelves of decluttered fragrances. I really hope I can sell them all for decent prices and then get a few fragrances I really like.
    I've learnt, though: I used to blind buy A LOT, as those shelves testify to. Nowadays I rather spend €50-€60 for 15 samples of 2ml and then discover I only like just one perfume, instead of buying what I think I like and being disappointed constantly... and poor.
    I sampled Taskeen, and indeed, the peach and orange are so extremely strong it's as if I accidentally spilt a juice cocktail on myself and couldn't clean up. Yuk.

But then one day I wore it and nearly choked, That rotten weird smell was just awful. And you are right. It is sooooo strong lol (I had sprayed 3 puffs, my life 😅 lol). I agree it is better to get decants. I need to get off my lazy bum and actually visit stores before buying certain perfumes. It will save me so much money ❤

      They're hard to find in the US as well. The only place I've seen them was on Jomashop, and I've seen only one review.
      No one really talks about Al Haramain. They have a few dupes for BR 540, but that DNA is played out as well, plus the Amber Oud line is rather expensive (like, why? It's all just a bunch of the same dupes). My only real favorite from the line is the Tobacco Edition.

    Hi Sim...I can tell you that there are different batches of these perfumes that smell a bit different. My friend and I have bought the same fragrances and sometimes they actually smell a bit different. My Assam does not have that odor, but, frankly I don't really care for it. I bought December Vanilla and mine was actually vile. I had to throw it out. I think that they need to prove quality control on these perfumes.

      There is definitely a problem with quality control with these brands. Some batches are head and tail different. I’m sure most of the disagreements happen because we are actually smelling different perfumes lol. It’s insane.
      Unfortunately with these brands are trying to keep a low cost and I don’t see quality control happening anytime soon 😞

    Hello Simin good video! You know I tried so badly to like Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited but I just can't. I keep doing what you are doing with Ansaam Gold 😂 at 1st sniff I was repulsed by the artificial sunscreen coconut, and then I let it sit for about a month, and same feeling. It has now sat for about 5 months and I don't like it. I even wear it around the house to see if it grows on me but ughhh no. It's too much of a sunscreen coconut and I don't enjoy that smell. Wish it was a coconut like in Musamam White Intense, now that coconut is beautiful. So it on my chopping block! Wishing you a great week pretty soul!! 😍

      Hey my hun.
      Omg Unlimited was a traumatizing scent to me. I wanted to puke when I first smelled it. The lactones are very badly done in it and I think that’s what’s bothering you as well 😂 I think it’s time to let go of that perfume babe. Like I did with Ansaam 🤣🤣🤣

      If you by any chance own Soft by Al Rehab, try layering those two. I absolutely can’t stand Qaed Al Fursan on its own but that combination makes it smell at least decent I think 😂

      ​@@loveyn2000Thanks for the suggestion! I do not own that one but I did try to mask the smell with Qaed Al Fursan black bottle which I bought for my husband. I thought the pineapple would "mask" the smell and it did but not for long. The pineapple in the black bottle just couldn't compete with the strong lactonic scent. Oh well, I just need to let it go lol declutter it I must! 😊

Fragrantica shows it smells like Narciso Rodriguez Ambree, idk, haven't smelled that one. But, to my nose, it's a beautiful tropical floral with nice longevity and gives me big-time Dolce Garden vibes 😊 I appreciate your maceration updates.

And I since I hate caramel or any sticky-smelling perfume, I gave it to my best friend's friend. I've been contemplating about Good Girl too but it's smelling more alcoholic now but subsides after some tine. I'll feel bad for someone else.
