Whaaat I got a shout out? 🤩 Glad you tried Laraib; going to need to try to smell the grape candy 🍇next time I wear it. Sorry it did not work out for you 🥺 What a great round up tho, some of these I have not heard of 🙌🏻 I ordered Cherry Cola a few days ago excited to try it yay 🍒
I don’t always comment on your videos anymore, but best believe i always watch them whenever a new one pops up because you’re truly one of the real ones! (Rarely do i hear you promoting PR stuff which is a sign of honesty to me). Also wanna say that these are some truly underrated gems, and I can’t wait to get my nose on them! I have a very recent Middle Eastern discovery from a brand called My Perfumes Select, and the perfume is Vanilla Addiction. It’s like the less intense, less bold, and slightly more upbeat sister to Ani. Soooo gooooood!!
That means so much to me! ❤️🥹 Thank you! If I love something that's gifted I'll definitely let you guys know about it, but you also know I'm not shy to give my opinion if something isn't for me 😉 And that sounds so good!! I'll need to look into that one
I bought Al Awsaaf a cpl months ago and it was faint so I tucked it away and forgot about it. You just reminded me to go check it😂 It’s MY TYPE for the fall I cant wait to wear it!
Latafa makes some of my fav scents of 'right now'. This year alone I bought three from them and can imgine buying at least 3 more that are now on my list before the year is over.
Anne, I don’t think I can wait until the end of the year to see your updated fragrance collection. Any way we can get a mid year fragrance collection update? I would run to watch this! 🎉
Girl qissa delicious is absolutely stunning! And I’m happy you love it too. I said the same thing when I did a video on it, it has become my top middle eastern gourmand atm😍🥰❤️
Tahara vanilla sounds so good! I got a little sample of Qissa Delicious and it is very similar to Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth (which I have but will def pick up QD once out of sweet tooth) 😊
I'm so happy I found your channel in the midst of my Arabic perfume rabbit hole! I LOVE perfume and in my opinion you hands down give the best descriptions of scent profiles. I'm familiar with many of the perfumes you've talked about (Arabic, Niche, Designer....) and agree whole heartedly with your descriptions. It feels like I'm right there smelling along and nodding in agreement, lol! Thanks to you I pulled the trigger on Khamrah Qahwa, Tahara Vanilla, and Fragrance World Ivory Musk. I'm sure I'll love them. I also have Barakkat Gentle Gold on the way thanks to Maria Collette's recommendation but Ive never tried Gentle Fluidity Gold. I'm curious if you've tried that one? It seems up your alley with the Juniper and vanilla.
Quissa delicious was such a let down to me🙈🙈 i expected real Gourmand marhsmallow but was met with very musky perfume. Perhaps, its just me but I had same issue with Choco musk, Eternal coffee and etc.
I own Qissa Delicious and its so beautiful. I am so glad you love it too! I also ordered the Lattafa Al Awsaaf and both my husband and I love it and cant wait to wear it this fall and winter. I also plan on ordering Tahitian Vanilla and Cherry Cola. The way you described them sounds like what I need! Thanks always for your recommendations.
I got a free sample of Lattafa's Rumaan and really like the pomegranate in it! It's sort of like BR540 had a pomegranate baby. I'm also told that it could be like BR540 had said baby with Oud for Greatness but I've never smelled that one.
Have you tried Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth? I’m super into how you talked about Qissa Delicious but I’ve seen a lot of people compare it to Sweet Tooth and I LOVE Sweet Tooth but don’t need a dupe!
Hi Anne! Excellent haul. I have been enjoying Intro for a while now and I agree, it is a relief to have something with that profile at that price point. Have you tried/heard of Bayn al Asrar from Paris Corner. If someone can pick up how close it truly is to Guidance, it is you. Thank you in advance.
Thank you! Yes I've heard of that one! Sharida actually posted an in depth comparison of the two, and Guidance is one of her favorites :) ruclips.net/video/YXTj9-PwuQU/видео.html
Love your channel. Thank you! Totally irrelevant, but I love the ring on your right hand ring finger. If you’re not keeping it secret, would you please share where you got it? 😊
Ok I just got a decant of Une Nuit Nomad's Melt My Heart cologne. Wow!!! It has to be the best chocolate frag out there without a doubt. I have loaded it on daily since I got it 1 week ago and plan on getting more. I saw the full bottle of Melt My Heart going for $600 for 50ml !! Ouch but I think it is worth every penny. I really love the iris note in this. It is very buttery and blends so well. I do get the Absinthe note and love this too. The Absinthe hangs around for about an hour. The other notes kind of pull it away to an aromatic and fresh path that is quite appealing. I also just got Une Nuit Nomad's Memory Hotel. Wow! This is a soft spice and so classy! I love the Carnation note a ton. I suspect Clove chemical to give Carnation-like presence. I wonder what smelling Carnation by itself is like. The tobacco is so well blended and smooth and this frag is a touch sweet. I am also really loving my decant of Iris Torrfie by Guerlain. I rate this in top 3 on Guerlain's very long house list IMO. I have Dior Homme Intense and this is even better to me. It has about 70% the smell of DHI. I like the coffee touch added and it is a bit more dark than DHI.
I love your Middle Eastern reviews!❤❤ I'm really intrigued by Awsaaf - do you think it leans super masculine? I find the notes really intriguing, but a lot of reviews report it leaning heavy on the masculine side. I often don't mind slightly masculine-leaning perfumes, but not heavily masculine ones. I have quite a few of the other fragrances...and I've never heard anyone talk about Laraib before! It is sweeter than I typically like my perfumes, but then there's also something addictive about it. I also have Cherry Cola and love the opening, but there was something about the dry down that slightly irritated my nose, so I'm hoping that smooths out after maceration. I've also been curious about others you mentioned, like Tahara Vanilla, and I've been looking for a good Musk Therapy dupe, so I might have to try out Intro Ivory Musk. Also, I loved the Little Mermaid reference. ❤🧜♀😂 If you like Qissa Delicious, you might also enjoy Lattafa's newest gourmand release, Sehr. It is an almondy vanilla that is so good! Thanks again for a great review!
Thank you! I think Al Awsaaf is unisex, I think it would only be too masculine for someone if they strictly gravitated towards girly fragrances. I'm definitely intrigued by Sehr, I'm gonna hunt down a sample of that one!
While they're definitely in the same fragrance family, they don't smell too similar to me. Tahara Vanilla is more vanilla heavy, has a little bit of a green quality in the opening, and Musk 12 has more prominent florals. The closest fragrance I've smelled to Musk 12 would be Clean Reserve Skin :)
I get this with Musk Therapy. I think its just my skin chemistry. Thought I was the only one 😂 It never improved for me even after the dry down. Just not for me.
I was just thinking about you yesterday bc you haven't posted in a while 😢 so glad to see you back again!! You have amazing recommendations 🤍 Have you tried Nette's Pear Jam and Henry Rose's Windows Down? I'm eyeing them for this summer bc they're sooo good!! Please give them a try if you haven't ❤
Middle Eastern perfumes are my new obsession and I know I'm not alone! Qissa Delicious is now on my ever-growing list of things to try!
There are so many gems! 😍
I bought the Blanche Bete clone Her Confessions and it’s really really close. I love the fragrance

Yes to Awsaaf! It reminds me of the winter holidays. 🍗🎄🍊

Nice to hear you talk about Al Awsaaf! It is such a hidden gem and truly unisex in my opinion.
truly!! It's so so good 😩
You got me absolutely hooked on Al Awsaaf. I layer it with pure musk and absolutely love the dry down. ❤️
I might have to pick up that Tonka Cola Dupe my son loves Tonka Cola but he’s 12 so he doesn’t need a niche perfume yet! He’s used up my sample.
So many great recommendations! A few of these fragrances I had not heard of, but if they have the Anne stamp of approval. I need it! 😂🎉❤
Aw! 😄💕
I bought Al Awsaaf a cpl months ago and it was faint so I tucked it away and forgot about it. You just reminded me to go check it😂
It’s MY TYPE for the fall I cant wait to wear it!
i actually really like tahara vanilla layered with skin!
I bet that's such a lovely combo! 💕
Latafa makes some of my fav scents of 'right now'. This year alone I bought three from them and can imgine buying at least 3 more that are now on my list before the year is over.
They're definitely my favorite middle eastern house!
Hi Anne!! I would love a video on your candied Violet/purple floral favs if you have the time in the future! Love your videos 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 💕 I actually have one up 🥰 ruclips.net/video/QlFs_cMm-LY/видео.html

Aw! 😄🫶🏼 It's quite the undertaking so that's why I do it once a year haha
I understand! I’ll have to be patient and wait. 😂❤
Ordered Tahara Vanilla based on TheCherysTV recommendation nd have yet to get it. So happy i did bc if you love it i KNOW i will
So happy i ordered it
Aw yay! I hope you love it as much as we do! 🤍
Girl qissa delicious is absolutely stunning! And I’m happy you love it too. I said the same thing when I did a video on it, it has become my top middle eastern gourmand atm😍🥰❤️
I’m so so happy with it!! 😍🍫
Is qissa delicious long lasting?
Mayar intense smells very much like Chanel eau Fraiche EDP. Although not quite as strong...
Tahara vanilla sounds so good! I got a little sample of Qissa Delicious and it is very similar to Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth (which I have but will def pick up QD once out of sweet tooth) 😊
Oh I have yet to smell Sweet Tooth!
Perfect timing!! I’ve been looking for a musk therapy dupe 🤍
amazing! 🤩
You always look so pretty! Thanks for the affordable recommendations. I'm currently testing Oud Jaune Intense, Poets of Berlin & 3 jammy rose scents.
Thank you! 🥹💕 oo have fun testing!!
OK I just got Al Awsaaf 2 days ago and sprayed it on and why.
Why-eeee does this have me in a chokehold?
Why.
Thanks for the rec!
eyyyy I'm so happy to hear it!! 😄
Omg, I need to get hands on tahara vanilla seems right up my alley, there is always at least one I just know I need every video!! lol!!💕
yesss so yummy, clean, and cozy!
@@AnneLaurenwhy do i get coconut vibes without having the coconut. I enjoy spraying it after having been at the beach

Gourmand marhsmallow but was met with very musky perfume. Perhaps, its just me but I had same issue with Choco musk, Eternal coffee and etc.
Please try Fragrance World Barakkat Satin Oud. Its the most gorgeous dupe of Oud Satin Mood i have ever found
Oooooo!! Thank you! ❤

I can't wait to wear Qissa Delicious and Al Awsaaf more this fall! 😍 Yess I hope you enjoy!! 🤩

I'll need to look into that one, thank you! ❤️

They don’t sell the scents I wanted but will get Byredo then.

Thank you! I think Al Awsaaf is unisex, I think it would only be too masculine for someone if they strictly gravitated towards girly fragrances. I'm definitely intrigued by Sehr, I'm gonna hunt down a sample of that one!
@@AnneLauren Your response is very helpful! I think I will give Awsaaf a try!
Imagine my surprise when you announced the name of the perfume as “Sea Star” and not “Andaleeb.” I wonder if they *smell* similar.
Yes! Asdaaf has an identical bottle with Andaleeb, their notes are quite different though
Anne, did your Tahara Vanilla bottle need maceration? I just bought mine, and I can hardly smell it; the scent is very weak. 😟
I let it sit for a month before I tested it out :)
I have to know if you love Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet. Forever an all time love for me. My favorite violet fragrance forever.
oh I need to check that one out! 💜
@@AnneLauren oh please do! It’s an older fragrance, but Violet with pimento is a killer combo
Does tahara vanilla smell similar to kayali musk 12? I'm looking for something to replace it.
While they're definitely in the same fragrance family, they don't smell too similar to me. Tahara Vanilla is more vanilla heavy, has a little bit of a green quality in the opening, and Musk 12 has more prominent florals. The closest fragrance I've smelled to Musk 12 would be Clean Reserve Skin :)
Ive just got ivory musk, and im getting a weird BO, cat wee vibe? I cant put my finger on it? Does it need to sit
Hmm, I always let my affordable middle eastern fragrances sit for a month, but if it hasn’t changed after that it could be a skin chemistry thing
@@AnneLaurenah ok, did you notice yours change much after a month? It disappears when it's dried down but I just don't enjoy the first 10 mins.
I get this with Musk Therapy. I think its just my skin chemistry. Thought I was the only one 😂 It never improved for me even after the dry down. Just not for me.
@@stephaniepalko395 oh I'm not mad!!! 🤣🤣 It does settle but ewwe
I am OBSESSED with Bal D’Afrique, but it does not last on my skin for more than 2-3 hours 😢 any recommendations for a dupe or something similar??
Vibrant Vetiver Delight by Emir and Montagne Parfum Azonto are supposed to be good dupes.
@@Chris_Jarrettthank you!! I’ll check them both out
Vibrant vetiver is an amazing dupe and it lasts and projects!
