Lattafa Niche Emirati Remas/ Lattafa Summer Fragrance
I love your reviews, Ms. Karen! They are spot on as far as interpreting the notes, the style, when/where to wear, etc. I plan to purchase this next spring/summer. Thank you.
@@Cyber_Diva Awwwwww...... Thanks for the nice compliment! Glad to be of help
I have always used Aromatix code for Aroma Concepts but he doesn't need my help. I'll make sure I use yours next time 😊 Shame I just bought Confection a few days ago. Ah well!
in your opinion, remas or zikra?
Super hard question! Very different scents .Both very well done and quality products. Remas is better suited for hot weather while Zikra is more suitable for a cooler climate. If I were going to gift one of the two I would probably choose Remas because I see it as an easier wear. When I look at the artistry of the perfume I would personally choose Zikra because it is more complicated which is something I gravitate to. So, Zikra for the win from me for that reason. Can't go wrong with either one though
@@MissKaren3 This was very helpful! Thank you 😘
It’s still sold out 😭
@@chisanainoris5364 I will be sure to pop on here and let you know if I see it in stock. I got this one at Beauty house
@@MissKaren3 Thank you!
Thanks for a great review. If you had to choose between this and voux P. which would you prefer?
@@rowenabrykin580 Glad you enjoyed! I would have to pick her confession because it is a little more complex and long lasting. Hope that helps
This is angel share but with twist. It’s good you like it ?
@@zuhdideeb5916 Love it!!!!! Interesting and addictive. Have never tried Angel's share. Really need to sample it
Thanks for sharing your experience ❤. Ive been trying to find out what exactly it smells similar to
@@UdegbunamChuks I don't have anything quite like it. Definitely unisex. Review coming soon
Amber is a really nice note! I always associate that with a special occasion perfume. It makes total sense what you're saying about scents smelling differently depending on the climate too. I feel like vanilla scents always smell extra nice where i live.
@AllisonLikesTurkey Thanks for stopping by Allison! Speaking of vanilla... I've got a review coming up on one . Stay tuned
Hey miss Karen and Lucy!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰 I completely agree that different climates can make a perfume smell definitely for people. So what might be a mild everyday perfume for someone could be a super heavy special occasion perfume for others just depending on where you live🤓😋
Thanks for stopping by Jamie!!! Yes! I have used essential oils as perfumes in 40 below weather. Rose essential oil behind the ears was a great trick for super cold weather.
Totally agree...this NC weather is no joke...confusing as heck but no joke. lol Great review btw!
@@TastesandScents Thanks! Yes, the weather here is totally nuts. It's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates. Thanks for stopping by
@@MissKaren3 im in the ENC in Kinston!! NC frag family!
disliked this scent ...scrubber! reminds me of the same base as musamam white intense. Nothing special, dont see the hype at all. Smells like a burnt hair comb.
@rea2725 lol. I think maybe we don't have the same taste in perfume. I remember you saying Bayn Al Asrar smelled bad to you and you were going to return it. That's 2 for 2. Thing that I Love that you dislike. I would suggest not getting anything else I recommend. Best of luck on your perfume Journey
Great advice.
Always lovely to see your kind face! And eagerly awaiting the day RUclips invents Smell-o-Vision because I'd love a sniff of Her Confession or Blanche Bete. Glad you love the bottle!
@@Wozlynn Thanks for stopping by! You tube smell-o-vision needs to happen! 🤣😂😁
If u own musamam white intense and let that drydown after an hour , thats basically how confession for her smells . I disliked it and felt it was boring as well. Its nothing gourmand, milky or creamy . Its burnt skin with burnt coconut hair oil , couldnt wait to wash it off.
I agree, I used to think that Paris corner was winning the race, but Lattafa has come out with some really good ones lately 🤓🤓🤓
@@Mamabearperfumechannel We gotta see what that Khair Confection smells like! 🍬 🪨
Hey miss karen!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰 I hope Lucy is doing ok after her allergy shot🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 that Lattafa bottle looks so cool🤓 iv heard this is a dupe for Blanche bete which iv never smelt before but i know people are very divided about🤣🤣🤣
@Mamabearperfumechannel Thanks for asking about Lucy! The shot is finally kicking in and she's getting some relief from itchy paws🐾 It is a really nice bottle. Amazing that the bottle bottom is the same as the eclair bottle,but changing that top made such a huge difference in the whole look of it. Thanks again for the mention on your channel! That was such a nice surprise and really meant a lot to me and Lucy 💖
its only a 90% dupe of blanche. not exact.
I try to order it. It says it doesn't deliver to where I live. Which is weird because I bought stuff from them before and I live in chicago
@@zoeyrandazzo4600 I just went and put a bunch of random things in my cart to see what would happen and some of them did say wouldn't ship to my area. I'm here in North carolina and have never had a problem with shipping. I'm thinking they are out of stock when it says that but somehow their system just hasn't caught up. Some of the items in my car when I had put them in there a few days ago said products are limited. Now they say they just won't ship. Hope that made sense and hope it helps. Think they are just out of stock
Hi all! 7/ 24 is the make date for this one. Review coming soon😊
The post April 2024 formulation is beautiful and wildly different from the April and pre April 2024 formulation which has a prominent oud. Enquire before you purchase.
This was the most epic blind buy fail of 2024. The bottle is beautiful but sadly the juice smells like bug spray. On first impression, none of the notes are distinguishable.
@@animforjindam Oh no! Best I can tell you is to spray out the straw and let it sit for a while. If it doesn't work after that then it's just not for you
@@MissKaren3 I will let it sit for a while. I was really looking forward to that minty lime opening. Hopefully it gets better with time
@animforjindam Lattafa Teriaq was like that for me. I was so disappointed. Sprayed out the straw and let it sit, then it was great.
Thank you for the detailed, no-frills review and the coupon code!
@@nox7282 Thanks for watching
I had to blind buy this with NO guidance from YT reviews. I think you’re the first to get a review on it.
@@melyndalopez272 I have really been enjoying this one. I don't think people have discovered it yet. Paris corner has been doing a great job
Hi mam. I work in perfumes my specialty is Arabic perfume. How I can contact you? Thank you 😊
@@MissKaren3 thank you so much I was in Chicago last week now I’m in Jordan they are some Arabic perfumes I wish I can send it to you so you can try them and tell me what you think about them. Thank you so much. You have Facebook account? 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@zuhdideeb5916 I don't have a facebook account. Who is it that you work for?
its a god dupe for Gris Charnel BDK! its same juice as Lattafa Liam.
Great to know! Thanks
Nebras has has a herbal note that ruins it for me. I have had mine for two years and it's still just sitting bc every time I try it I can't get past that. I probably will give it away
You probably wouldn't like the Ophidian Sweet Surrender then. It has the same notes just a much better composition. Have you tried Quissa Delicious or even Vouix Pattiserie from Paris Corner? If you are looking for a nice gourmand you may like one of those
Hi all!! I just ordered a sample of the Hibiscus Mahajad and will pop back on here and let you guys know if it is similar UPDATE!!!!!!!!! GOT THE SAMPLE AND 90% DUPE!!!!
Thank you ❤
Does this smell similar to hibiscus mahajad or delina exclusif, and how prominent is the leather note?
@animforjindam I've never smelled hibiscus mahajad so I couldn't tell you on that point. It does not smell like Delena exclusive at all. The leather note is not prominent. If you didn't know it was there you probably wouldn't pick it up and even knowing it's there you might not pick it up. Hope that helps
Some are saying Hibiscus Mahajad but I haven't smelled this one myself. I have Hibiscus Mahajad though so I have to get a sample of this to compare
I do get a Delina Exclusif vibe. No leather to speak of
@@melyndalopez272thanks for the feedback. I'm not the biggest Delina exclusive fan, I much prefer the OG. However im glad the leather note is faint and I'm just happy we finally get a hibiscus 🌺 inspired fragrance that actually has hibiscus in the notes (side eying hibiscus magic and le prestige royal lol)
4 billion Dollars later
Hello, do you think "Emir VOUX PATISSERIE" would be good for a man? Do you think a man would smell sexy with this perfume?
@@eduore10 I wouldn't recommend this for a man. I think a gourmand that would smell really good on a man is Lattafa Nebras or Paris Corner Ophidian Sweet Surrender
Expecting this to arrive sometime next week. Strange, I've done a search on reviews for this fragrance for the past 3 or 4 days now and I'm just now getting your video in my results after constant searching.
@Detman101 I think you will really like this one. Would love to hear your thoughts after you get it. I have heard from quite a few people that they don't find me right away or either they're surprised when they do find me cuz I never showed up in their searches. I am thinking RUclips doesn't like me so much. Just give a follow if you haven't already and hopefully I will show up in the future
The Eternal Musk one is really nice but a total non-performer. Skin scent, gone in 30 minutes.
@sueseverin1871 Good to know!So glad I didn't buy it now
Hi Miss Karen and woof to Lucy. There isn't supposed to be a minty note in Nebras - but it's there. It's one of those things that I hear disappears with time - yes it's very weird I know. My bottle is about two months old and the mint (and this other weird smell) is still there but really faint now. I hear you want to give it around six months to really get what it's about 🙂
@@sueseverin1871 Lucy gives a paws up to that. It really is an addictive scent profile.
This does sound like a nice fall scent! I love the smell of mint too. Lucy is too cute
@@AllisonLikesTurkey Lucy says thanks! She never gets tired of being told she is cute.
Click link for review. Y'all this perfume had me looking crazy walking my dog and saying shut up every time I sniff my arm😮 it's crazy good though!
Click link for review. This kicks Nebras where it hurts ya'll 🥜
I’m glad I’m not the only one who walks around in public sniffing their own arm🤣🤣🤣 I do that all the time just because I’m testing out new perfumes, but I’m sure the majority of people watching me from the sidewalks probably think I’m crazy🤣🤣🤣
@Mamabearperfumechannel Glad I'm not the only one! I just need to remember that people can not only see me but they can hear me too. 🤣😆🤪 This perfume had me goin tho.
Lucy is so cute🥰🥰🥰 I love your relaxing atmosphere🤓🥰
Oh Wow!!! A familiar face!! Thanks for stopping in and saying hi. I am flattered you enjoyed
I enjoy all your videos, thank you. You have quite the collection by now. Do you mind doing a rating video for all. ( blind buy worthy/ most feminine/office safe/beast mode… etc.)
@@rowenabrykin580 Thanks so much for wanting to see a video like that from me. It seems I always have lots of things I haven't told you about, so I just keep doing single reviews as to have a catalog. I will work on doing a video like that. In the meantime if you have any specific questions or are looking in a certain direction for something feel free to ask. Also, I love to hear what some of your favorites are
What's a good season to wear
@@romanordunez3095 I think this shines in Spring and fall but it also works well for summer and winter So Good For All Seasons
@@MissKaren3 thanks hun, 😊. Wish I could show you what I have in my collection
@@romanordunez3095 would love to hear some of your faves. Maybe your top five ?
@@MissKaren3 I don't have have any favorites, just like to wear what smells good and get some compliments.. I've been hitting Burlington and Ross for good ones. My recent ones are for the Autumn are, Banana republic dark Cherry and tonka bean and at Ross, Tahari Leather Oud..
@romanordunez3095 I have been hearing about Burlington and Ross having some really good stuff. I really need to check them out. So a couple couple of Lattafa I can recommend for fall are Oudain and Ameer Al Oud Intense. Both around $20 on Amazon. Both really good.Ameer Al Oud Is a beast though. It will stay on your clothes till next wash and is more a winter scent.
Looking forward to wear this during the winter, thanks for the video dear!!
@@romanordunez3095 You are very welcome! You are gonna smell soooo good!
@@MissKaren3 :) 😊 thanks BTW, like your dog. Keep on smiling
@@romanordunez3095 Awwwwwww.....So glad you like little Lucy!!! She is a doll baby. Perfume and Puppies keep me smiling for sure
FYI ure arabian perfume queen in the making keep them comingg
@@khalidsuxx Thanks for watching!
Hi Miss Karen, thanks for your honest review. I haven't heard anyone say J Noir is a non-performer before - I appreciate this. I have Junoon Rose and yeah it's lovely indeed. I also have Junoon Oud, an inspiration of Sospiro Vibrato I hear, and really like it (no performance issues either).
@sueseverin1871 You are very welcome! The Junoon Rose performs great, so I was really surprised about the Junoon Noir. It is a beautiful scent, but it never performed
Another amazing review! Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!💐
@@rowenabrykin580 Thanks for watching!
I don't understand why everyone says it smells like gummies but at the same time it's not juvenile. How come gummies are not juvenile?
@@michita7838 Maybe a better way to say it is the gummies in this smell ritzy and sophisticated. Not just your regular lunch box gummies, but gummies that grew up and had their best gummy life and then to celebrate poured candy syrup all over themselves.
I saw they had a Mango version as well that sounds really nice!
@AllisonLikesTurkey They sure do! I haven't smelled that one yet though
I've actually been comparing mine on paper to Changing Constance (Penhaligon's) of which I have a sample and there are definite similarities, mostly in the drydown. The Penhaligons is such an awful performer despite being really lovely. I might update after the Mughal Fort has had a chance to sit for a while.
@sueseverin1871 so glad you have this! I have never smelled the Penhaligons one. Would Love to hear the update on your thoughts. The Mughal Fort is a phenomenal performer.
@@MissKaren3 Yes it is a great performer, which is one of the big differences. Changing Constance is so very soft it's barely there. OK so now I've had MF for 3 weeks and Changing Constance is far smoother from the opening. Mughal Fort has more cardamom in the opening and projects further. Anyone saying there's no similarity between the two is wrong, it is strongly reminiscent of Changing Constance though less refined - more of a twist, and a good one. The further into the drydown the more similar it gets. I would say 80 - 85% similarit. I absolutely would not buy the Penhaligons' at $495 AUD ($728 USD) and think the Lattafa is a really worthy alternative.
@sueseverin1871 Thanks for the feedback. The experience you had is exactly why I got into Middle Eastern perfumes. While the expensive designer perfumes have some great scents the longevity can oftentimes be lacking. I want to tell my perfume when I want to stop smelling it, not for it to tell me I can't smell it anymore. LOL
Eclair or Voux Patisserie? Looking for a gift for my lady.
@fashionandfrags I have to say Eclaire. I have gotten so many compliments I had to get a backup bottle. I love the Voux and given the choice of what to wear would probably choose it, but the compliments from Eclaire don't lie. I'm sure you're going to love smelling eclaire on her. Let me know how it goes
Really like it layered with the originals super good❤❤
@kristinmary4025 Ooooooohhhhh...Have to try that!
Thanks for your review, I have Pistachio but might try Fusion. If you want the most addictive citrus/white floral my tip is Al Watinaiah's Lazuli. Woof to Miss Lucy.
@sueseverin1871 Thanks for the tip! I'm always on the lookout and I don't have that one. Princess Lucy sends a woof back. Fusion has been really nice in the super hot weather here.
@@MissKaren3 Perfect! Lazuli's inspired by Neroli Portofino but I've heard it oudoes it. It's winter here but I cannot walk past the bottle without sniffing it - it's that good. Perfect for summer heat 😊
I will have to check it out. Oh wow! You must be super far away from where I am. Where are you that it is winter?
@@MissKaren3 I'm in South Australia. We've just passed mid-winter here.
@@sueseverin1871 That is too cool!
Oh wow I bet this smells great! Orange push ups are so nostalgic. Very summery sounding description! Lucy is a cutie in her glasses!
@@AllisonLikesTurkey Lucy feels like she has superpowers with her glasses! Yeah, I am super impressed with this one. I don't have anything quite like it
Lucy looks cool in her shades!! 😎
THANKS!!! Lucy is the Bomb-Diggity!!!!!!
Absolutely! Reminds me of Risky Business, but with Mom at home!
@@avic2697 🤣🤣🤣
Omg 😮 you got it already I can't wait for you're review
@MRJLS15 It's crazy good!!!!!! Review is now up!!!! Just click link in short
This perfume is so gorgeous,,,I might like it better than even the Atomic Rose❤
I have never smelled Atomic Rose, but am very happy to have this one
