I got into arab fragrances because of you! I added ana abiyedh white and red, ansaam gold, nebras, khamara, ajwad*, and qaed al fursan to my collection this year after watching your videos...and thats only the lattafa line! 🤭 i added many more from other houses. I always look forward to your reviews because i trust your nose. You truly are gifted describing the scent profile! 💕 Edit: ajwad, not awaan**
@@ItsAllAboutAmber thanks, hun! 💕 I'm so happy with all of them and they were succesful blind buys (except ajwad and khamara - i was able to get my nose on those before purchasing). 😙👌
I would always want Nasheet and Nebras in my collection. I’m glad to see Nasheet back in stock at fragrance shops and hope that means Lattafa is going to have it long term.
Congrats on 20k Cee 🎉🎉🎉. I love your videos. Khamrah, Nebras, Ansaam Gold, Yara and Raghba are my go to Lattafa scents. But I enjoy pretty much all of the ones I have.
I have a back up of Nasheet because I love it so much. Much shorter lives than Ani but still amazing and I’ve gone through almost half my first bottle in just two months (and summer months!).
@@AmiAbroad I got a trial of Ani and that sent me on a path of trying to find dupes and found Nasheet from Cee’s review. I did end up buying a bottle of Ani because I’m in love but using Nasheet while warmer and then will devour Ani this winter.
Ok so Nasheet update : my niece sampled it 💕it so I sent her home with it. Quickly repurchased a new bottle is just soooo sweet which I nice however I’m missing that peppery bite that I had to grow to 💕 do I need a new bottle because this new bottle is soooo tame?!
Yessssss Khamrah def for me. I am adding al awsaaf and Nebras very soon. Thank you Cee, I got to learn of more lataffa perfumes not just the highly hyped. Can't wait to add on my collection.
Now that you’ve done this for Lattafa I want it for all the other houses 😅. I have ansaam gold and amethyst on my list and I can’t wait to buy them. On my list of repurchases from lattafa is Ragbha and opulent oud, but then again I’m still building the collection so I know I’ll find more gems
My Lataffa perfumes I'd definitely buy again are from the Maison Alhambra and would be Infini Rose and Delilah. Infini Rose is a clone of Initio Atomic Rose and Delilah is a clone of Delina. Saying that though, I bought a back up bottle of Shalina by Fragrance World instead of Delilah so I'd be happy enough with either of them. They're pretty much the same thing, it's just that Delilah needed time to macerate. I really wanted Ansaam Gold but I've got a few generic clones of Love Don't Be Shy so I'm not gonna bother for now. Next Lataffa I'll get will probably be Khamra for the winter months. I layered an Angel's Share sample over MFK Grand Soir the other night and it was amazing so I can't wait to wear things like that when the summer is over.
I bought Azeezah this week for 10€ based on your review -mine needs to macerate because it's a floral freshie now 😂 no almonds and cacao but I'm not in rush with that 😊 My favourite lattafa is Khamrah and Mazaaji. I don't know why noone is talking about Mazaaji because it smells like sunshine for me with great longevity My other favourites are mohra (love the darkness of her) raghba, Emaan, sakeena, badee al oud amethyst, lahdath, Rouat al musk and fakhar
Great video, Cee! I know you are not a fan of it, but I love, love, love Lattafa's Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends. Smells like nothing else in my collection, and I love that burst of fresh pineapple at the beginning. And the dry down is gorgeous! As an added bonus, it only costs 13€. I would also definitely have to repurchase Nebras. That is a delicious, gourmand fragrance and when I wear it, people say I smell like cake. Or waffles. 😊
I have that one too. Like it and am surprised it isn't really TH-cam'd about. Then again... maybe better, because all the prices have tripled of late. Though have to say that it is a super shame it just doesn't performs in colder days. It would be a great year-round perfume, but I can only use it in spring/summer. However, some days this fragrance becomes sickeningly sweet on me. Perhaps because of the fact our (very short) summers - when they ARE truly summery - are always hot and super humid. That brings out extra sweetness and you lose the pineapple entirely. Then it makes me nauseous. But... skin chemistry + climate can be different for anyone. But on regular days I think it's a very special fragrance. Btw, I've noticed that Lattafa Pride Shaheen Gold is 95% equal! I bought a decant when the fragrance was just released and it was a fresh figgy herbal perfume. Nice, but way too soft. I guess I didn't realise the bottle the decant came from hadn't macerated yet, because I tried it out 2mths ago again on a whim and *BAM*! Not only was it suddenly above average projection and decent longevity, but I kept thinking "I have this already!". Put them (Royal Blends and Shaheen Gold) side by side and wow: you basically only miss the cinnamon. Knowing that the Prides have ridiculous prices in my country and I paid €18 for Royal Blends (and I prefer it with cinnamon) I definitely know which one to go for 😂.
Cee, thank you! You, me and Khamra! I love your videos and honest reviews. Even more, I thank you for trying to save us the coin charged for niche and designer fragrances that are just not worth it, once you discover Lattafa etc. what an eye opener for me this was and I have learnered so much from your channel. Cheers from Canada, where we too are known for our manners! This woman wants to feel proud, younger, more free, more versatile than in my younger days. You help me with that, gentle lady. Blessings to you, my friend.💕🌸💕
Mine would be Ajayeb Gold, Ajayeb black (so different), Ishq Al Shuyukh gold, Nasheet, Ansaam Gold, Tharwah Gold, Fakhar rose gold, Qaaed, Aura, Awaan, Haya
How you feel about your 24 karat is what i feel about my oud 24 hours 😮..that one i bought because of the chocolate note.that one is nothing like other that i have ( poudree/creamy/floral/musky)..it is unique and just before i was about to give it, i regretted and it stays with me. Only for the dry down of it...lovely ❤ Thank you Cee, you work hard for us as always , love you.
Yaaayyy congratulations on 20k you deserve all the subs Cee 👏. I love your picks glad to see most of my favourites here. Sondos is definitely a must have.
Awesome list. I have the Ansam Gold body spray and will be purchasing the perfume for myself some time in the future. Yes to Ser Al Malika...again, I say it's a Casablanca dupe/clone. If you spray them both on your arm, you won't be able to tell them apart! I also want to get Mohra Silky Rose and Khamrah. I have taken a break from buying for now until the holidays, seriously...thinking of starting my own channel to fill my time and keep me from purchasing...i have LOTS to review!
Hey Cee I love your content, i'm your new fan. living in mostly hot weather, i'm a corporate lady boss, i want to wear something bossy yet fresh for the hot wether refreshing scent. Any suggestion from Lataffa brand? Currently using YSL Libre Intense, loving it but i'm very much drawn to Lattafa perfumes so want to try out.
Omg. Yes I can't live without khamrah, azeezah, badee al oud amethyst, nasheet, and I can't live without sutoor too. That peach scent is beautifull. Thx chee for your video. I really enjoy it.
🎉🩷🪇🥂🎂⭐️👏😃Yay, you got to 20,000 subscribers Cee!! Well done. I said I would have a glass of champagne when you reached that milestone, but as it’s 11pm here in South Australia, I will have that glass tomorrow afternoon. Congratulations🥂😃🇦🇺
Lataffa pure musk, Nebras, Sondos, and Sakeena are what l would repurchase for sure! Congratulations on 20K! Love your videos & continued success always 🎉
I would like to add Anach and Mayar to my list.... I love those a lot❤, I happen to love whatever comes from your end, another interesting content as always....
*Lattafa fragrances I would repurchase*: Pride Nebras Pride Ansaam Gold Khamrah Velvet Rose Raghba 30ml* And maybe Fakhar Women and Al Arabia Royal Blends. NB* Raghba was a hit at first, but after a year of maceration the woody notes have changed. Stronger and very dry, it's now - on my skin, those synthetic 'Oud's rarely work for me, especially the dry cedar/leather/spice concoctions stink - overwhelming the lovely vanilla, spices and previous warm creaminess of the wood😢. You also don't need a lot of Raghba anyway, not even I do with my super dry perfume eating skin. So I would repurchase, but a small 30ml, or even a pocketspray if I could. Actually, I wish those pocketsprays would be generally used by the Middle Eastern brands! So many fragrances that I like, but only for certain weather, or moods. For example my Ard Al Zaafaran Shams Al Emarat Khususi. Lovely perfume, but still rarely reach for it. Which is okay: I have a 20ml pocketspray! NB2. I still have a few Lattafa fragrances on my wish & test list though, so my list might change: Sondos, Shahd, Shalimar Musk Al Poudree, Nasheet, Qaed Al Fursan white, and both the Mohra's. Oh, and I haven't opened Emaan yet. As a jasmine/orangeblossom lover it might be included one day. (I loooaaaathe Sakeena! It brought home that passionfruit notes should NOT be on my skin. I smell like vomit when wearing Sakeena!! If there's anyone in The Netherlands, or maybe Belgium/ Germany etc who wants to buy mine... only 2 sprays used, kept in dark closet, gorgeous original box, I'll have to check if I even still have the packaging available). While I truly appreciate Afaq and Awaan, scent wise and quality wise, I'm not sure if I will repurchase them one day. Maybe if a small 10-20-30ml becomes available one day.
I so agree with you with pocketspray bottles. I would buy mostly those, since i doubt i´ll manage to finish many of my perfumes on this life time. Here most of my work mates, family and friends don´t like strong scents, so i have to spray really sparingly. Unless i´m all on my own for the weekend. So, 2-5 sprays max, 100 ml bottle will last me really long time.
@@AvaLanche-j3o I guess that's the advantage of not having to go to an office, or being single for ages. Also, I have non projecting- perfume eating skin 🙃. It's only fragrances like Ameer Al Oudh Intense, Raghba (lol, 5 extra weeks of maceration and Raghba is back to being delicious!), or Club de Nuit Intense Woman that probably still grace my vanity in the exact same bottle when I'm 80🤣🙈. I hear the word "beastmode" so often and am almost always disappointed. Because I need to spray at least 15 times, often more, in order to get an intimate projection AND I therefore reapply or layer AND use another fragrance at night or for bed, I've actually managed to finish almost two hands full of 80-100ml bottles in the last 9 months. I also made a 50% or quarter dent in 50 or more other perfumes. But of course those are the ones I really like. My collection - I looked at my Xcel sheet yesterday - is now 186 fragrances rich, and I'm about to declutter 25-30 of those and finish but never rebuy about the same amount. But there are so many fragrances I would like to have (mostly gourmand, Oriental/Ambery vanilla or elegant white florals) that I'm sure I'll be back to 180 soon: those pocketsprays are so so needed. Also: they're usually just 4 bucks. Can you imagine the giant collection you can build from those, even if you don't have a lot of money? 😅🤓😋 No more feeling guilty, or being happy you get to finish them, try out the newest stuff... And how often you could gift someone a fragrance without breaking the bank? F.e. Every Friday we have a small market in my neighbourhood. I'm kind of noticeable because 1. My style is 50s rockabilly in summer and 50s elegant New Look in winter, and 2. I'm in a wheelchair. So, most people know me, and I know all the market stall workers by name. The amount of times any one of them compliment me about a perfume I'm wearing... A LOT. I mean, wouldn't it be awesome if you could bring such a hard working person a pocketspray of their liking for xmas or their bday, or just because they (in my case) always help me pack the bag on the back of my chair...? Or you could give your friend who needs a pick me up a Khamrah (or similar) pocketspray so she gets a scent hug! Okay, long story short: they might not be pretty, but the Arab perfume houses need to all start making pocketsprays. Or otherwise offer 30ml bottles or those cute babies Cee managed to acquire! That would be superb for many a reason. Honestly, I actually think it'll lead to more sales for them as there are plenty people who like to collect miniatures or who prefer to also have a travel spray of their favourites. Not to mention the perfume lovers who will blind buy more because they'll have some type of sample in those mini's instead of having to blind buy the 100ml normally - which they rarely do. Being able to test with the pocketsprays or mini'll lead to buying the big bottles after all, if they like the scent. Reviewers like Cecilia could also then just buy the mini for the review and review every new thing she's interested in, instead of what she thinks "works best" because then she's saving money...🤷♀️. Darn it, I'm a marketing genius!😏🤣 Hmm, maybe I should create a petition that all Middle Eastern perfume lovers can sign and then send it to the big brands! 😉
Ch good girl with cacao might be the Supreme. I experimented wore very good girl today layered with infini rose. I got cdn imperiale by accident. Lol 🤣 that was my science project LOL love you Cee and . God bless You all..
Hello beautiful lady our Ms C ..just wanted you to know that in accordance with the other viewers i too have made all my Wonderful frag purchases cuz of you and this video has done me wonders for your best choices and i have been in agreement you since the get go ..thank you and thank you again for your new choice of video it helps me to keep my own also ... Love you our ms C for what youve done for use!!!❤️😊 I absolutely love your list n i will be purchasing Azeehaz ezcited cannot wait its my only one missing from your beautiful frag list that has kept me in my happy place!!!!😊 Cheers beautiful
I finally found khamrah and it's on the way to me. I hope I do love it, the hype was too much. For me lattafa's I would definitely repurchase is Nebras, Fakhar gold, qaed al fursan (white). Looking forward to trying Mohra silky rose, ish al shuyukh gold and sondos. Edit: Khamrah is who she thinks she is. That's a beautiful scent. I need backup bottles.
Khamrah is definitely worth the hype and gets even better as weeks go by. So if you don't get the hype in the beginning, just let it sit for a while and you'll get it
Its def not a scent for hot summer days tho! I just got mine a few weeks ago and sprayed in high 90 degree weather, the spice and boozy scent was everywhere and was making me feel sick. The scent is too warm for the summer, but I can't wait for the cooler months cause I loved the smell of it.
There are some real beauties in this line up , a few i have but many i have not seen , thank you Cee for always keeping us up to date , hugs from Kat xo
Thank you for this review 🙂...My favorite Lattafas are Oud Mood and Oud Mood Silver...But these are more for Winter....Can you please make a top 20 List of all your Collection. Which 20 Perfumes would you choose in your Collection, if you only can have 20 Perfumes of your entire Collection ....Greetings from Germany 🥰
Reviewing, right now, these older frags are going dirt cheap. Cee, I never bought 24k 99.99. I'm afraid of that Lattafa leather note. Can you tell me how strong the leather is? Is it a gentle, smooth note? Leather I love would be, i.e., Imperial Arabia, and leather I can't wear is Abiyedh leather or Oud Mood Elixir. Please let me know how the leather represents in 24k Gold. Thank you 😊
Thanks so much! I bought most of my fragrances based on your suggestions. Do you have any sugesstions for Le labo Fragrances. Especially non Santal recommendations. I would love it. Thanks!!
First of all thanks for all the reviews you drop here, im addicted to your channel and have notifications set for any new content you post! Q. How does sakeena compare to yara tous? Which is fruitier?
I got into arab fragrances because of you! I added ana abiyedh white and red, ansaam gold, nebras, khamara, ajwad*, and qaed al fursan to my collection this year after watching your videos...and thats only the lattafa line! 🤭 i added many more from other houses. I always look forward to your reviews because i trust your nose. You truly are gifted describing the scent profile! 💕

I agree
Thank you @sholafavor 🥰
Thank you 🥰
These are great picks.
@@ItsAllAboutAmber thanks, hun! 💕 I'm so happy with all of them and they were succesful blind buys (except ajwad and khamara - i was able to get my nose on those before purchasing). 😙👌
You are so right about the Badee al Oud Amethyst.
I finally bought Nebras, now you have made me want Ana Abiyedh leather.
I hope Nebras is what you were expecting 😍
I would always want Nasheet and Nebras in my collection. I’m glad to see Nasheet back in stock at fragrance shops and hope that means Lattafa is going to have it long term.
I hope so too!🥰
Congrats on 20k Cee 🎉🎉🎉. I love your videos. Khamrah, Nebras, Ansaam Gold, Yara and Raghba are my go to Lattafa scents. But I enjoy pretty much all of the ones I have.
Thank you so much!!🥰
I love your list. I love everything you have on there ❤🎉
My favorite is still Raghba! In love with it all these years. I keep looking for a perfect new one.
Maybe I need to give it a chance... I don't get it 🤷🏽♀️
You should 🥰
It’s awesome 🥰
Raghba is beautiful, feminine and classy. It's definitely popular for a reason. I consider Raghba is be a femme fatale fragrance ❤❤❤.
@@Extreme_1 So many ask me what I’m wearing. I only tell those that ask again. Because middle easterns is a long story. Lol. But yes, order it.
I have a back up of Nasheet because I love it so much. Much shorter lives than Ani but still amazing and I’ve gone through almost half my first bottle in just two months (and summer months!).
Ohhh.. Another Nasheet fan (high five)! Isn't it an interesting fragrance? That cold, menthol-like opening followed by that vanilla. I love it, too.
@@AmiAbroad I got a trial of Ani and that sent me on a path of trying to find dupes and found Nasheet from Cee’s review. I did end up buying a bottle of Ani because I’m in love but using Nasheet while warmer and then will devour Ani this winter.
I love Nasheet 🥰
Ok so Nasheet update : my niece sampled it 💕it so I sent her home with it. Quickly repurchased a new bottle is just soooo sweet which I nice however I’m missing that peppery bite that I had to grow to 💕 do I need a new bottle because this new bottle is soooo tame?!
@@MzV2Cspray it out and then let it sit for a few weeks. It will come. Don't give up on it
Khamrah and nebras defo.i found aura very intoxicating and long lasting as well as Yara
Fair enough 🥰
Yessssss Khamrah def for me. I am adding al awsaaf and Nebras very soon. Thank you Cee, I got to learn of more lataffa perfumes not just the highly hyped. Can't wait to add on my collection.
You are so welcome🥰
One of my favorites is Orientica Melodie - it literally smells like niche quality. It's very good 😍
Now that you’ve done this for Lattafa I want it for all the other houses 😅. I have ansaam gold and amethyst on my list and I can’t wait to buy them. On my list of repurchases from lattafa is Ragbha and opulent oud, but then again I’m still building the collection so I know I’ll find more gems
Ok Bongi 😍will do 💕
I just found your channel and I can feel your enthusiasm for perfumery! I appreciate your thoroughness when describing fragrances. New subbie!

Next Lataffa I'll get will probably be Khamra for the winter months. I layered an Angel's Share sample over MFK Grand Soir the other night and it was amazing so I can't wait to wear things like that when the summer is over.
Great choices 🥰
I would repurchase Khamarah
Bade’e Al oud sublime
Nebras
Yara in the white bottle
Great choices 🥰
I bought Azeezah this week for 10€ based on your review -mine needs to macerate because it's a floral freshie now 😂 no almonds and cacao but I'm not in rush with that 😊
My favourite lattafa is Khamrah and Mazaaji. I don't know why noone is talking about Mazaaji because it smells like sunshine for me with great longevity
My other favourites are mohra (love the darkness of her) raghba, Emaan, sakeena, badee al oud amethyst, lahdath, Rouat al musk and fakhar
Mazaarji is underrated. I reviewed it though a year or so ago 💕
@@CeeChroniclesTalkingScents I bought it based on your review and it was like stupidly cheap...the best blind buy ever for me
Great video, Cee! I know you are not a fan of it, but I love, love, love Lattafa's Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends. Smells like nothing else in my collection, and I love that burst of fresh pineapple at the beginning. And the dry down is gorgeous! As an added bonus, it only costs 13€. I would also definitely have to repurchase Nebras. That is a delicious, gourmand fragrance and when I wear it, people say I smell like cake. Or waffles. 😊

Hi Cee, great video! I love bade al oud amethyst too🤗💝
It's so good!
*Lattafa fragrances I would repurchase*:
Pride Nebras
Pride Ansaam Gold
Khamrah
Velvet Rose
Raghba 30ml*
And maybe Fakhar Women and Al Arabia Royal Blends.
NB* Raghba was a hit at first, but after a year of maceration the woody notes have changed. Stronger and very dry, it's now - on my skin, those synthetic 'Oud's rarely work for me, especially the dry cedar/leather/spice concoctions stink - overwhelming the lovely vanilla, spices and previous warm creaminess of the wood😢.

For example my Ard Al Zaafaran Shams Al Emarat Khususi. Lovely perfume, but still rarely reach for it. Which is okay: I have a 20ml pocketspray!
NB2. I still have a few Lattafa fragrances on my wish & test list though, so my list might change:
Sondos, Shahd, Shalimar Musk Al Poudree, Nasheet, Qaed Al Fursan white, and both the Mohra's.
Oh, and I haven't opened Emaan yet. As a jasmine/orangeblossom lover it might be included one day. (I loooaaaathe Sakeena! It brought home that passionfruit notes should NOT be on my skin. I smell like vomit when wearing Sakeena!! If there's anyone in The Netherlands, or maybe Belgium/ Germany etc who wants to buy mine... only 2 sprays used, kept in dark closet, gorgeous original box, I'll have to check if I even still have the packaging available).
While I truly appreciate Afaq and Awaan, scent wise and quality wise, I'm not sure if I will repurchase them one day. Maybe if a small 10-20-30ml becomes available one day.

Because I need to spray at least 15 times, often more, in order to get an intimate projection AND I therefore reapply or layer AND use another fragrance at night or for bed, I've actually managed to finish almost two hands full of 80-100ml bottles in the last 9 months.

Can you imagine the giant collection you can build from those, even if you don't have a lot of money? 😅🤓😋 No more feeling guilty, or being happy you get to finish them, try out the newest stuff... And how often you could gift someone a fragrance without breaking the bank?
F.e. Every Friday we have a small market in my neighbourhood. I'm kind of noticeable because 1. My style is 50s rockabilly in summer and 50s elegant New Look in winter, and 2. I'm in a wheelchair. So, most people know me, and I know all the market stall workers by name. The amount of times any one of them compliment me about a perfume I'm wearing... A LOT. I mean, wouldn't it be awesome if you could bring such a hard working person a pocketspray of their liking for xmas or their bday, or just because they (in my case) always help me pack the bag on the back of my chair...? Or you could give your friend who needs a pick me up a Khamrah (or similar) pocketspray so she gets a scent hug!
Okay, long story short: they might not be pretty, but the Arab perfume houses need to all start making pocketsprays. Or otherwise offer 30ml bottles or those cute babies Cee managed to acquire! That would be superb for many a reason.
Honestly, I actually think it'll lead to more sales for them as there are plenty people who like to collect miniatures or who prefer to also have a travel spray of their favourites. Not to mention the perfume lovers who will blind buy more because they'll have some type of sample in those mini's instead of having to blind buy the 100ml normally - which they rarely do. Being able to test with the pocketsprays or mini'll lead to buying the big bottles after all, if they like the scent. Reviewers like Cecilia could also then just buy the mini for the review and review every new thing she's interested in, instead of what she thinks "works best" because then she's saving money...🤷♀️.
Darn it, I'm a marketing genius!😏🤣 Hmm, maybe I should create a petition that all Middle Eastern perfume lovers can sign and then send it to the big brands! 😉
I would replace Oud Mood and then Oud Mood elixir and back to Oud Mood! Did I tell you that I love Oud Mood...😮????
🤣🤣🤣no you didn’t lol. Let me read that again 🥰
Ch good girl with cacao might be the Supreme. I experimented wore very good girl today layered with infini rose. I got cdn imperiale by accident. Lol 🤣 that was my science project LOL love you Cee and . God bless You all..

🤩🔥🔥 thank you
No problem 😊
2nd 1 sounds interesting I love leather
🥰🥰
It is a joy to watch you ! And this color is so beautiful on you 😊❤
Thank you so much 🙂
I finally found khamrah and it's on the way to me. I hope I do love it, the hype was too much.
For me lattafa's I would definitely repurchase is Nebras, Fakhar gold, qaed al fursan (white).
Looking forward to trying Mohra silky rose, ish al shuyukh gold and sondos.
Edit: Khamrah is who she thinks she is.
That's a beautiful scent. I need backup bottles.
Khamrah is definitely worth the hype and gets even better as weeks go by. So if you don't get the hype in the beginning, just let it sit for a while and you'll get it
@@aesinam oh thank you 😊. Looking forward to it.
Its def not a scent for hot summer days tho! I just got mine a few weeks ago and sprayed in high 90 degree weather, the spice and boozy scent was everywhere and was making me feel sick. The scent is too warm for the summer, but I can't wait for the cooler months cause I loved the smell of it.
Thanks for sharing!!🥰
I am new to this and will like to know where can I purchase?
There are some real beauties in this line up , a few i have but many i have not seen , thank you Cee for always keeping us up to date , hugs from Kat xo
You’re welcome 🥰
You have exactly the same taste as mine. Greetings from dubai😊
So cool!🥰
Yay 🎉! 20k! You deserve this milestone!
Great video. Hopefully you'll do this for many more brands!
Thank you Sunny. I appreciate you watching 🥰
Thanks Cee! For me that 999.9 one didn't worked out for me, I had to get rid of it.
Sorry to hear that☺️
Cheikh zlchiyoukh luxe édition and Florence from lattafa are thé parfums i will Always repurchese.
Lovely
First ✨that’s amazing… thank you for the great content
Thanks for watching!🥰
A great informative video idea😊 have we yet found a good dupe for Nashane Halfati? I adore that scent profile for the cooler season.❤
Not that I know of as yet ❤️
Thank you for this review 🙂...My favorite Lattafas are Oud Mood and Oud Mood Silver...But these are more for Winter....Can you please make a top 20 List of all your Collection. Which 20 Perfumes would you choose in your Collection, if you only can have 20 Perfumes of your entire Collection ....Greetings from Germany 🥰
Noted!🥰
Excellent review 👌🏼
Thank you 🙏have a great weekend 😘🤗
Thank you too
Reviewing, right now, these older frags are going dirt cheap. Cee, I never bought 24k 99.99. I'm afraid of that Lattafa leather note. Can you tell me how strong the leather is? Is it a gentle, smooth note? Leather I love would be, i.e., Imperial Arabia, and leather I can't wear is Abiyedh leather or Oud Mood Elixir. Please let me know how the leather represents in 24k Gold. Thank you 😊
999.9s leather is strong. I’d say test first 💕
Congratulations 🎊
Thank you!!🥰💕
You rock Cee🎉👑👑👑👑 I just bought Khamrah, Nebras. I cant wait to wear them...Do I need macerate before I wear them?
Yes you should 🥰
Thanks so much! I bought most of my fragrances based on your suggestions.
Do you have any sugesstions for Le labo Fragrances. Especially non Santal recommendations. I would love it.
Thanks!!
I only know of the Santal 33 dupe unfortunately ❤
For now l have Sakina Yara and Nasheet but Nasheet smells muscling to me
I may get Maya and Sondos Ansam gold Nebras
Nice 😊
Me too! I have Nasheet but I still don’t understand the hype😩
Congrats on 20k subscribers🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😀
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰🥰
No awaan?
Thx!
Any time🥰
do you think is it worth it to add to my collection Ana Abiyedh leather if i already have velvet oud?
Yes they don’t smell the same at all.
Plz tell me about precious pink by alhambra lattafa
It’s a Marc Jacobs Perfect dupe 💕
Ur reviews been helping a lot n all ur suggestions r amazing ❤❤thank u n Pls do review for frank olivia fragrances
Sure 😊
Hi Cee, do you prefer original Yara or Mohra silly.rose? It seems they both have a creamy clean vibe. Thankyou 😊
Mohra Silky is my most preferred. It’s gentle
Where can I order?
Dubai Perfume Cafe
Fragrancenet
Guys is Nasheet really that weak ??
I find it decent but a few subbies have said it’s a moderate performer 🥰
@@CeeChroniclesTalkingScents thank you for taking your time to answer
Doesn’t last at all😢
Félicitations pour le 20 k
Thank you 😊 😍
First of all thanks for all the reviews you drop here, im addicted to your channel and have notifications set for any new content you post!
Q. How does sakeena compare to yara tous? Which is fruitier?
Glad you like them! Sakeena is definitely fruitier and the two don’t smell the same at all.
Khamrah and Shahd!!
Nice 🥰
