Such a popular topic in the fragrance community right now. Great video. I'm sure you could have done 20 fragrances in this genre with no problem. Great video.
Great review Ross. You’re not Kidd about Hawas, I got my bottles a couple years ago from the same seller on Amazon for like $40, now they are like $80. But I think for being the best summer freshie in my opinion in this price range it’s definitely worth $80 because the only fragrances I have that compete with this are 2-3 hundred. I’m talking about MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver, aqua vitea forte, Xerjoff nio and a couple other ones. And I just say that because freshies only last maybe five hours on me and Hawas is 10-12. And then the compliment factor is insane. I was in a computer room at work the first day I wore this and I sprayed five on my neck and chest and every girl that walked into that computer room said how great it smelled in there. They were asking who smelled so good. I like compliments but this was too much, like 20 compliments in 15 minutes. I didn’t say it was me that smelled good, that’s how good the projection is. I’m in management so I left and washed it off because I’m 44 and these girls were in their 20’s. Definitely not a work scent.
I absolutely love 9PM, and like/love Hawas and CDNIM- I only have the EDT but I don't have an issue with the opening... You've convinced me to have it as my SOTD tomorrow. I have a running list of middle easterns that are on my 'buy soon' list, and Rasasi Shaghaf just got put on it. Haven't tried the Afnan supremecy, and may end up with that one at some point.. Thanks for the great content!
Is it better than club de Nuit intense man parfum limited edition?? Bcuz I have the limited edition and I really hate the opening with that chemically lemon and smokiness
I started buying Middle Eastern frags nearly 6 yrs ago with Arabian Oud Kalemat and haven't looked back after hundreds of bottles. All of your choices are solid. There are still some knockouts awaiting your discovery! Enjoy the journey.
Have that Not Only Intense in my cart now. Have been eye balling that Shaghaf for a bit now too... might be time to pull the trigger. Great review as always Ross 👍
I can't say I have tried any of those fragrances you mentioned but I'm sure they are pretty good because some of these clone houses are pushing out some of the best clone/inspired fragrances. I have Lattafa Khamrah and Asad and they are simply fantastic and I was really blown away how good they were!! I don't have many clones but the ones that I do have, Sillage, Khamrah and Asad are top notch and I believe these middle eastern fragrances are going to make serious noise in the market, if they haven't already.
I have Afnan 9pm. A bit too fruity sweet smelling for me but it's okay. Ultra Male it isn't. Bought it for $33.95 Canadian. Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man is harsh initially, but after the drydown it's decent. Rasasi Hawas is good. Decent projection, long lasting. A recent middle eastern fragrance which surprised me is Lattafa Ameer Al Oud. A decent colder weather scent.
Lovely review but here’s a question I’m stuck now ! Which one is compliment magnet and stronger in These two below! 1- Armaf Club de nuit Urban max Elixir or 2- Afnan 9pm ! Also projection wise and performance which one is best to buy ! Thank you
I love my middle eastern Frags!! yeah a lot are clones but some are not and some clones are better then the originals! of cores some are just flops all the way around but thats the game
Supremacy not only intense is absolutely Nuclear !! I sprayed 4 blasts in December and its still projects 150ft 😂 its such a nice fragrance and great quality for the price a must have in any collection 💯🔥👍🏻
Supremacy Not Only Intense, 9pm and CDNIM limited edition are all amazing, especially considering the price. You really got me curious about Nafaeis al Shaghaf. Probably will blind buy it soon
middle eastern frags are really hyped right now espechially lattafa with khamrah is sold out everywhere here in DE and people are asking stupid prices , i have tried some of your video and yeah hawas for me is the best of the ones i tried but i also have shurah wich is the winter version of shagaf nd is also pretty beastmode .
I just a bottle of Barouj Perlador (PDM Carlisle inspired) and it’s blowing me away I am not sure if you sampled it but I would absolutely recommend it to anyone at its price point ($45usd)
Hey Ross have you tried Armaf Legasi,Platinum Egoiste clone? Like to get your take before I get it. It’s like 20-25 bucks so could it be that good🤷🏼♂️
do you think owning both not only intense and CDNI limited edition is redundant? are they different enough to own both? what are the differences on both
Ive noticed theres no performance on this, bad batch? From everything i was hearing i couldnt wait to snap one up. It was out of stock for ages then back in, maybe compromised on quality. Even the cheapest of knock offs have more strength, no way 12 hours ross. I can spray it on clothing or skin and not pick it up unless im shoving my nose in and thats within minutes.
Creed Aventus will always be Creed. And as much as people are complaining of performance issues, there might be a number of reasons: skin chemistry etc. also order yours from a reputable creed store. Ordered mine from the UK online store and I live in Africa (Tanzania). That scent screams elegance, luxury and royalty no doubt! If you are a true perfume collector and connoisseur, you'll most definitely own a creed bottle and shut down all of the negativity BS that goes around, most people can't afford that gem anyway! Anyhow to each their own! I will own Creed Aventus no matter what because when it comes to standards, I just can't compromise!
Just got Rasasi Hawas, has anyone found they needed to leave it for a few weeks or more to get the scent raved about. Either I've bought a dud,or a poor batch 2020. Not strong at all, doent last more than a few hours,week projection. I'm hoping if I leave it a month or so it'll be different,just wondered if anyone else had the same vibe.
Missed opportunity to call this video "beasts from the middle east" lol
So now he has to do part 2

In German Notino already now for €51, but with a coupon for €42.

Agree with your 5 choices. I own them all.....and...they ALL fall into my most complimented fragrance lists.
Hawas is a beast all day. Rasasi has some great offerings. 9pm is on the list to buy soon.
I wore the Armaf CDNIM Parfum limited edition yesterday. I purchased it 6-8 months ago and it was the first time trying it. DAMN!! IT IS GOOD!!
Is it better than club de Nuit intense man parfum limited edition?? Bcuz I have the limited edition and I really hate the opening with that chemically lemon and smokiness
That's awesome you showing love to those middle eastern fragrances! They definitely need to be checked out!
Saints and Pels Fan, with cologne reviews. You got a new subscriber, keep up the awesome work.

Just purchased a bottle of 9pm for under £20! Can't wait to try this fragrance as I've tried Ultra Male and loved the DNA 😄
Yes on notino hahah
It’s a winner
Have that Not Only Intense in my cart now. Have been eye balling that Shaghaf for a bit now too... might be time to pull the trigger.
Great review as always Ross 👍

I love Lattafa Asad too
I have the Hawas it's a very pleasant soft fragrance quite unique...just glad to have it in my collection
We all know that Hawas went thru the roof after you reviewed it. I ordered 2 days before your review, glad I did. You made it's market quadruple.
Is Ur hawas 2022 batch ? If so how is the performance
I haven't tried any of these fragrance yet but definitely will buy some,
I just started loving the middle eastern fragrance...
Thanks
Rasasi’s Nafeis Al Shaghaf is amazing. 3 sprays lasts the whole day
💯
Batch?
Looks like I have 2 I need to pick up - another great video idea Ross!
I bought 9pm a few weeks ago based of you talking about it, and man it's good!
9pm by Afnan is the strongest performer I have. I choked out a bar with 5 sprays. Lesson learned!
My kind of projection in a scent.
I've been waiting for this video,I always loved Aladdin that's be a great name for a middleeastern fragrance no joke.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Afnan supremacy Bottle is beautiful !!!!
I have Afnan 9pm. A bit too fruity sweet smelling for me but it's okay. Ultra Male it isn't. Bought it for $33.95 Canadian. Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man is harsh initially, but after the drydown it's decent. Rasasi Hawas is good. Decent projection, long lasting.

Lovely review but here’s a question I’m stuck now ! Which one is compliment magnet and stronger in These two below!
1- Armaf Club de nuit Urban max Elixir or
2- Afnan 9pm !
Also projection wise and performance which one is best to buy !
Thank you
Very good top 5 I have 9pm and HAWAS now I’m caught in between the not only intense and armaf which one would you pick between the two
man that pure parfum is a smooth beast as well love that stuff...
Ross I just got lataffa qaed al fursan this is a pineapple 🍍 beast
Same
I have that and Lattafa Rave Now and they’re basically the same fragrance. Pineapple Beast, Qaed has a little more woods though.
Please make a video about the sweetest middle eastern fragrances. Sweet like the le male etc. ❤
Nice review love the video Ross stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
As always great reviews, l have CDMI, picked it up a year ago or so.
I love my middle eastern Frags!! yeah a lot are clones but some are not and some clones are better then the originals! of cores some are just flops all the way around but thats the game
Wife just came back from Africa and brought me a bottle of Rakh. Ever heard of it? Smells great.
Supremacy not only intense is absolutely Nuclear !! I sprayed 4 blasts in December and its still projects 150ft 😂 its such a nice fragrance and great quality for the price a must have in any collection 💯🔥👍🏻
Supremacy Not Only Intense, 9pm and CDNIM limited edition are all amazing, especially considering the price. You really got me curious about Nafaeis al Shaghaf. Probably will blind buy it soon
Great video
Which one of these would be a good blind buy hands down no need to try before I buy ?
That is for you to decide. They were all blind buys
Requesting you to try Rasasi Fattan & share your thoughts on it if you could…
middle eastern frags are really hyped right now espechially lattafa with khamrah is sold out everywhere here in DE and people are asking stupid prices , i have tried some of your video and yeah hawas for me is the best of the ones i tried but i also have shurah wich is the winter version of shagaf nd is also pretty beastmode .
I just a bottle of Barouj Perlador (PDM Carlisle inspired) and it’s blowing me away I am not sure if you sampled it but I would absolutely recommend it to anyone at its price point ($45usd)
Hey Ross have you tried Armaf Legasi,Platinum Egoiste clone? Like to get your take before I get it. It’s like 20-25 bucks so could it be that good🤷🏼♂️
I trust you so much that I "liked" this five seconds in.
I stand by my recommendation for Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst if you like sweet rose.
do you think owning both not only intense and CDNI limited edition is redundant? are they different enough to own both? what are the differences on both
Different enough
Bought 9pm disappointed it doesn’t last more than 30 minutes maybe I got a bad batch smells amazing just doesn’t last for me 😔
Yesterday I ordered an Afnan 9pm on sale from Notino for $20.
It's very vanilla heavy but it's totally okay
Ive noticed theres no performance on this, bad batch? From everything i was hearing i couldnt wait to snap one up. It was out of stock for ages then back in, maybe compromised on quality. Even the cheapest of knock offs have more strength, no way 12 hours ross. I can spray it on clothing or skin and not pick it up unless im shoving my nose in and thats within minutes.
I can agree with hawas
Others not Bad..
I guess you haven't smell any of Arabian Oud Fragrances...🤔
Much Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦💯💟
Can u please tell me a very good quality cold weather mens perfume..budget friendly 🙂
asad is beast aswell as 9pm
Hey u need to try Rose Mary Perfume Brand.
The Prices have gone up because of you and a few other reviewers.
Have you ever tried Rue Broca - Touche. It is another JPG Ultra Male clone. Pretty Good I believe.
Arabian Oud Kalemat 🔥
Can you do a review of al haramain oud ruby edition
I cannot. I have amber oud rouge and don't need a backup bottle
Armaf cdnim edt closer to creed than the limited edition?
Neither are really that close
Creed Aventus will always be Creed. And as much as people are complaining of performance issues, there might be a number of reasons: skin chemistry etc. also order yours from a reputable creed store. Ordered mine from the UK online store and I live in Africa (Tanzania). That scent screams elegance, luxury and royalty no doubt!
