Thank you for your very objective, honest review on Min Yashbahak. I listened to so many reviewers of Arabian Fragrances. Most of it waaaay overhyped. Your Min Yashbahak review is spot on, I went to the local arabian perfumeries, tested it, and bought it. It is with Nebras, my two favorite arabian fragrances, however I would not pay higher market price. This is my overall experience for all your viewers and followers: Ok, I went to 4 different Arabian Fragrances shop. I tested and smelled almost all Arabian Fragrances that went viral, that you reviewed, that many other people reviewed, and this is my overall impression: this is waaaay overhyped and also overpriced. Firstly, top notes of the openings can be brilliant (orange Yara) but the dry down is literally "none existant" on dry, non oily skin. Or another parfume top notes great, but dry down smells artificial. Or the middle is nice but opening and dry down horrible. And shaghaf oud is the cheapest and artificial oud smelling perfume ever. Full stop. The quality is bottom of the bottom. I agree that there are a few exceptions, like Nebras, Min Yashabak. But, most of these fragrances are not worth paying overhyped price, not more than £30max! like Al Haramain oud golden editions. £50 for 50ml bottle for honestly ok but nothing special (Min Yashbahak 100ml I paid for £18!-honestly better potency and way more sophisticated juice than those £50+). Secondly, Club de nuit Untold is a pure scam. I literally smelled "nothing", and the arab seller totally agreed with me. In the meantime, I found out there are 2 Khamrahs on sale. So people, like me, can buy a tester online, think, ok, I like this, then go and buy a same looking bottle expecting same as in tester, only to buy a completely different Khamrah. btw latest Khamrah edition (dates, smoke) smells nothing like previous, and they have difference in name also (Arabian people know this!) So, it is a minefield. In addition, in UK we have sellers saying that they think there are dupes of Arabian Fragrances (dupes of the dupes). 🤔🤔🤔Not sure about this. In addition, some arabian sellers are really annoyed that people come to them with expectations, like myself, only to be shocked about the whole internet "hype" campaign. So, people say things for clicks and likes. How can they lie people like that? Meantime, I blind bought 4 more, I am dreading what will arrive, 1 of them I paid 2x overpriced (Zeena) -I hope again your review is spot on. It is just a pure gamble. So, I highly recommend to anyone interested in Arabian stuff, please go to your Arabian local parfumeries and test them yourself. See for yourself. I found 90% of the staff extremely forthcoming, polite and knowledgeable about fragrances which isn't the case in our usual parfumeries. Btw, apply non scented face cream on your neck, shoulders and then spray your parfume. It adds potency to weaker perfumes at least 30%more. I am not saying there isn't a gold find here and there, but, I would say there is a lot of propaganda going on. Of course, not you, but there is a lot of it going on. We need a "Myth Buster" to separate wheat from the chaff!
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us! I do find it interesting how many times something just completely gets blown out of proportion in relation to the actual scent or performance of a fragrance or product. When I started this channel, the goal was to give as objective reviews as possible of fragrances I actually put to the test. I've found wearing a fragrance several times before reviewing them had helped so much with separating my personal feelings towards them, versus trying to explain to everybody what I'm actually smelling while limiting my bias. It's been such a fun challenge and I appreciate your feedback! Ty and enjoy!!🤗
My experience of Min Yashbahak is exactly like yours. I feel it is more fruity, mango leaning, and the longer is on the skin, the more it sends some tropical vibes, but nothing like our usual tropical vibes whatsoever. Apply non scented cream first to ensure better potency. Musk and sandalwood are reserved players, and so are floral notes. It is juicy, fresh, and juicy again. It is a very unique smelling formula (not niche-like awful smelling stuff, just a very different formula). I cannot compare it to anything I smelled before.
Today I mixed the new Flowerbomb with this fragrance and it was GORGEOUS! It lasted so long and the mango was really prominent. Keep in mind I’ve had Min Yashbahak in my collection for over 6 months. At first I wasn’t a fan of this perfume but now…I’m going to be spraying this straight into summer.
@janelle-scenttalkfrommycloset I wish I had room to display like you but my collection is everywhere! My house, Janelle, a parfum boutique! Thank you my friend, I am well.
I accidentally 😂 bought a new Paris Corner perfume called Mango Crush. The notes lead me to believe it’s a clone of Mango Skin. I didn’t really want this one because I was holding out for something more Mango-centric. Safe Haven blew me away and has me wanting more tropical fruit fragrances.
"Accidently" Love it! 😅 If your Mango craving is not satisfied, by all means continue the search!! Now Safe Haven is something to be reckoned with!! Passionfruit craving beyond tackled!
@alexisfagan9604 the issue is the tiny sample really doesn't allow, to me at least, a proper wear, so I didn't (dabber!!!!l). Also, Bodacious from Boadicea is another cherry in the same family (Dapper inspired bottle). The hype for Duchessa died down a bit now but I still need to hear a more experienced nose speak:)
Thank you for the review. I bought this some time ago and just yesterday sprayed this on my arm. Very underwhelming. Hopefully after this review something will click
I apply the fragrance to my pulse points. At my heart, in the crease of my elbows, behind my ears and wrists, then I spray the Body Mist everywhere else. I don't even count the sprays for the body mist, I just spray away. Also, I love to use a coordinating lotion before spraying anything. 🤗
Hi there! Not really. Bonbonpop is more focused on apricots and then on me dries down to a musky spice while this doesn't have any spicy nuances at all.
After watching this video I decided not to purchase. You literally talked ne out of it just the way you over explained everything it seems like not a good pick for the collection (and im tired of fails!)

Wonderful!! I am feeling like wearing this again very soon after your comments!!🤗
I am wearing it all day long today. With non scented cream/oil before spraying it, it is way more potent to me.
Today I mixed the new Flowerbomb with this fragrance and it was GORGEOUS! It lasted so long and the mango was really prominent. Keep in mind I’ve had Min Yashbahak in my collection for over 6 months. At first I wasn’t a fan of this perfume but now…I’m going to be spraying this straight into summer.
What an amazing blend!!! I plan to spray a dash of Tiger Lily on everything this summer! Go you! 🤗💕
Hola Janelle. This has been the week of beautiful bottle design. Thank you for sharing your find :)
Aren't they beautiful to look at?! I'm really living for that! You're so welcome, hope you've been well.💕
@janelle-scenttalkfrommycloset I wish I had room to display like you but my collection is everywhere! My house, Janelle, a parfum boutique! Thank you my friend, I am well.
I also love Pretty as a Peach. Even by itself. Love the smell
It does smell like a complete fragrance, not just a body mist right?! Love it! 🤗 My favorite scent to wear it with is Kilian's Liaisons Dangereuses!
I like the pretty purple bottle 🥰
The bottle is really nice! 🤗

SOTD: Duchessa by Gritti. I only have a micro decant. It reminded me of TF Lost Cherry. I would need to test it more to discern the nuances, etc.
Oohh, I have a decant of this as well as Gritti Chantilly, must try and review soon!
@@janelle-scenttalkfrommycloset Yes! Have been waiting for you! Need your 👃!
That sounds nice! I ❤ cherry fragrances! Did you perceive any key differences between the two?

Great video! ❤
Ty for watching!🤗💕

I totally understand where you're coming from! Given the notes I expected a different experience myself.
When you layer a perfume with a bbw spray what goes down first?
I apply the fragrance to my pulse points. At my heart, in the crease of my elbows, behind my ears and wrists, then I spray the Body Mist everywhere else. I don't even count the sprays for the body mist, I just spray away.

Hi,its similar to bonbon pop house of oud?
Hi there! Not really. Bonbonpop is more focused on apricots and then on me dries down to a musky spice while this doesn't have any spicy nuances at all.
Thanks for your guidance 😍
Girl, I fully share my food with my dogs. They are spoiled beyond measure. If I have chicken, we are all having chicken lol😂
🤣 I always tell Charlie " you having the Chicken dinners" even if it's a piece of carrot. Lol
