It's so interesting how different the opinions can be. I got a batch without the oud, so it's the reformulation. For me it's a "ok-scent". I bought it because of the hype and all the positive reviews but I wish I hadn't. For my friend it's the most disgusting perfume of all time 😂
Why do the producers put a sexy, vampy unisex perfume into a girly, flowery bottle and put flowers in the name when there are no flower in the composition? Do they do it to confuse potential buyers? Where's the sense in that???
Both Teriaqs are excellent quality and complex fragrances. Original Teriaq was a love for me as I found it very sexy and unique. I wasn't sure if I would like Teriaq Intense but it was also very delightful and potent fragrance even though going in quite different direction from the original. I am very happy I have now both of them in my collection!
I loved hearing about your favorite Middle Eastern fragrances of the year!❤❤ Artisan Ethnique and Empire Victor were two of my favorite finds as well, and I just ordered Nudo Exotic Flowers a few days ago, which I'm even more excited about after seeing it ranked in you #2 spot! I also recently ordered a Maison Alhambra dupe for Queen of Silk (I think it's called Avant Silk), so I'm excited to see if that is any good!
I have Empire Victor and the two Teriaq, and yes Empire Victor is superb, an angelic haze that surrounds you but is never cloiyng. Very good number one choice! 👌🥂
Great top 10! 🤗 I do have the OG Teriaq 😊 so unique & it’s a head turner 🤭 and I got Empire Victor !!! Love love love them both. Long lasting perfumes indeed ♥️
I have exotic flowers. The bottle definitely doesn’t match what’s inside. For some reason, mine is still weak in longevity. Hopefully it will get better 😅
Where to get thid Nudo exotic? Bottle is cutesy🎉 happy 2025 Joana & your viewers! Just realized that if lattafa hire Quentin Bisch, it means all their oils are from Givaudan as he works there
Thank you for this video and for such delightful descriptions! Looks like I am ready to put my nose into arabian perfumes. But! I have checked the links in your description - not much is available (((( Can you also tell how did you order samples? I remember you mentioned it in some other videos. Thanks and Happy Fragrant New Year!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year Jill! Can’t wait to discover more. I’m coming to Dubai and will definitely pick up goodies to talk about in my channel. Happy New Year to you and your family 🥂
Why do you specify "manufactured after April 2024" for Empire Victor? Also, is Athena better than Angham, do you know/think? Lovely reviewing style and content here!
Hi! Because the other Empire avictor manufactured before April 2024 smells different. The one I’m talking about is more gourmand and better in my opinion..
Joanna, you have to get the cheirosa 59 Body butter...it smells almost identical to empire victor in my opinion🤩 I'm a little bit confused about the Nudo exotic flower because at dubaicollection there is no cherry and tobacco listed in the notes but when you say it is a perfect dupe for Narcotic delight I will get it...
Hi Natty! I have SDH 59 Body Butter and I love layering it with any woody/vanilla fragrances I have. I see the comparison with Empire Victor. It myst layer well. I’ll check that combo 🥰 I know.. 🙃 the notes is different but it is sooo close especially the dry down. Opening is a bit different from ND but I can’t tell them apart in the dry down especially in the air…
Really 😮. I have to check cheirosa 59 soon cause I love Empire Victor so much and want a backup bottle but can’t find in my country I had to order it from Italy webshop and costs a lot to delivery😕
Hi Joanna! Your list is my list. Huh. How about that? 😉 I'm glad you like Peace & Love. I am, however, surprised that I love it. If I look at the notes, this shouldn't really be for me. But, oh....I adore it, particularly the dry down. It is so smooth, silky, and sophisticated. I'm curious as to your opinion on the similarity between this and Soile Malaquias. I have a sample of that and....oh my....it is addictive. I find they vibe the same, but Peace &Love is not quite a dupe. Still...you won't hear me complain. And Nudo Exotic Flowers....talk about false advertising. 😂 That girly cutsie purse. 😮 Everything I desire in a fragrance is right in there. Gorgeous. I wish you a Happy New Year, Joanna and thank you for the shout out. 😊 Cheers!
I love love Khadlaj Empire Victor❤, in fact today I'm wearing a combo between it and Taskeen Lacteea Divina and what came out is intoxicating👌🤪🔥💯😘. Great video, Joanna 💯
I have most of 2014 releases but I'm searching for similar dna for Gucci Guilty women intense, I think bcz it it was '22 release i may b late to the game!! I just started my collection few months ago but I am searching for Gulity intense notes. If anyone can suggest ty!! Have a Happy New Year 202511🎉❤🎉❤
Empire Victor is hands down #1 for me too. It is so high quality and masterfully crafted! Also Minya is amazing.
Yes!🙌🏻

We can put it on another bottle. I love the bottle tho , the juice is gorgeous. If you dont like this bottle just get french avenue after effect

Both Teriaqs are of niche quality in my opinion. Great releases 👌 I’m glad to hear you are enjoying them too. Happy New Year!✨

Thanks for watching 😊 Beautiful scents right?! 😉
I got Sweet Paradise after watching your review, and it was my best fragrance discovery of 2024, so thank you!
I’m glad to hear Sweet Paradise was a hit for you. 💕 Happy New Year!✨
Thanks Joanna! Great video as always! I wish it was easier to sample ME perfumes. So, extra glad to hear your opinions on them.
Great video! I have and love Empire Victor and Peace & Love. Teriaq Intense is on the way. I have the og Teriaq and am liking it more and more.
Such good fragrances. Og Teriaq is not very mass appealing I think..
Love your channel ❤
Thank you so much!!🙏 Happy New Year!🥳
Thanks for sharing your perfumes 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏾
Thank you for your time ✨ Happy New Year!🤩

Just realized that if lattafa hire Quentin Bisch, it means all their oils are from Givaudan as he works there
I got mine from dubaicollection.eu but I think it’s sold out now 😬
I feel like some oils used in his creations are from Givaudan already…
@jmercadobeauty sure cause he works under that firm.
I will try my luck to find nudo in Dubai. I am working & living here.
Feliz año, Joanna !!

Hello my dear! I order in different sites.
Have you checked out hiddensamples.com?
Great list Joanna ! Happy New Year !!! Peace/Love/Respect.
Thank you! 🙏 Happy New Year ✨
Here’s to a fun year discovering so many ME beauties. I suspect there are a lot of new ones coming down the pike in 2025 too. Happy New Year 🎉🥂
Happy New Year Jill! Can’t wait to discover more. I’m coming to Dubai and will definitely pick up goodies to talk about in my channel. Happy New Year to you and your family 🥂

Hi! Because the other Empire avictor manufactured before April 2024 smells different. The one I’m talking about is more gourmand and better in my opinion..
Yes Peace & love is similar to "Soie malaquais of Dries van Noten". Its sweeter. Soie has more nutty & silky & brighter.
Joanna, you have to get the cheirosa 59 Body butter...it smells almost identical to empire victor in my opinion🤩

I agree, Empire Victor is beautifully addictive ❤
@@marthadiazsantella3709 yes 💯
Teriaq intense makes me put khamrah qahwa on the chopping block...owning both seems redundant to me and I think I prefer teriaq intense.
It is very similar that it can pass as a flanker 🙃

Hey Joanna, I also love blackcurrant! 😅❤
I have sample of teriaq intense on my way, hoping that its not similar to khamarah. I love plum note.
They are different. Teriaq Intense is so Nice, elegant. Amazing.
They give same vibes. Similar but not totally…
I love love Khadlaj Empire Victor❤, in fact today I'm wearing a combo between it and Taskeen Lacteea Divina and what came out is intoxicating👌🤪🔥💯😘. Great video, Joanna 💯
Thanks Corina! I’ll try that combo! I can imagine the addictive factor. Happy New Year my dear ✨
@jmercadobeauty Happy New Year Joanna 💫🙏😘
Where do you get your samples of the middle eastern fragrances? I need to start doing that more before I purchase full bottles
Hi there! Are you based in Europe?
@ no, the US
@ hiddensamples.com ships free to US i think.
Also sillagebygb website by Greta Beth 😊
@@jmercadobeautythank you!
I really enjoyed this video. I agree with all except 😂😂Sweet paradise, it’s not treating me well.
Off topic: What lipstick are you wearing?
Too faced liquid lipstick in “Lady Balls” 🤣
Do u think it is redundant to have both Khamrah Qahwa?
It’s not redundant to own both in my opinion..
Teriaq Intense absolutely does not remind me of khamrah Q, I smell AG Cloud with a plum note. It’s divine!!! Definitely my number one 2024 scent!!!!
Thanks for sharing! 😊
Miraj Exclusif and Teriaq are not my friends. I try to layer them with Teriaq Intense and other sweet scents to make them more palatable to my nose.
Ooh it might be lacking sweetness to your liking. I feel the same way with a lot of fragrances..
Do you think incence and oud are strong in miraj exclusif? Is it the church incence type?
@ hi! It’s not the cHurch incense type. It’s contrasted with coffee and cardamom so it’s not too much.
@@jmercadobeauty thank you so much ❤️ happy new year 🎊
@@belinda4732 You’re welcome! 😊 Happy New Year to you too ✨

Ok, that Exotic Flowers bottle does NOT convey what you are saying it smells like lol
It’s definitely the opposite vibes 🤣
❤❤❤
I'm so disappointed with Empire Victor , does not last at all 😢 its worse than any other perfume I own....
Really? I’m wearing it yesterday to sleep and it lasted me until today. I find it long lasting.
@jmercadobeauty yeah I have for a two months now ....its like a body mist with no depth at all....
❤
Thank you for watching as always. I appreciate your time. Happy New Year ✨
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1st yay!
