@@SiminShaikh Omg your make up looks are always on point, don't worry ❤ Although I understand feeling self conscious every now and then, I feel the same when I'm not feeling my best. I'm based in Saudi, I hope I can find that local brand. I loooove warm toned lippies ❤❤❤ Thank you for giving us quality content ❤ So excited for your new channel!!

I could not agree with you more my hun ❤ I have decided not to do the 12 days of Christmas this year. Ss much as it hurts me not to, I know I will be putting myself through a lot. I will plan it better next year ❤❤❤ Hehehe yes. My style is not for everyone, but I would love to share my pieces and why I chose them ❤ Thank you for being a pillar to me babe ❤ xo Love you so so sooooo much! Yours, Sim ❤
Hi simin love your earpiece, I've been waiting for your review on Luscious for soo long now!! It was a successful blind buy for me. It smells soo good, gourmand and it lasts long. About 2 months before i wore it late in the morning and in the evening my friend told me he could smell the perfume strongly as he was walking towards me, he told me that it smelled like dubai kunafa chocolate. I just love how nutty it is with the pistachio and peanut. 😍
Hey my hun ❤ Thank you soooooo much ❤ This earpiece is something I always forget about. I need a better organizational structure for my jewelry lol. Luscious was such a welcome change for me as well. I think adding the peanut was brilliant no? Slightly salty facet just made it better. Hahaha Dubai Chocolate, I get it. What a beauty ❤❤❤
Everytime I start to miss you too much, you upload 🥹❤️ I just adooore you Simin hon! The jewellery chain you’re wearing from your earring to the hijab clip is absolutely stunning 😍 Your look is giving royalty 👸🏽Your look is so incredibly elegant my beautiful hon! ❤️

21:20 Got a bottle of Oud Opulence shipped from US last week … To put it in the most simplest terms, it’s like a perfected fusion of Baccarat Rouge MFK and Oud For Greatness INITIO … And like you mentioned Simin, the dry down is amazing 🔥 I would rate the Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Projection: 8/10 For the price point - the value proposition is great with this one as it does really feel and smell like a niche fragrance
Oohh I’ve been seeing Afeef everywhere but saaamee, I don’t like the bottle either 😭😅 I’m so grateful you reviewed it, you’re always helping me make the right perfume purchasing decisions ❤ Passion de Night sounds absolutely enchanting in a dark sensual way! I will definitely be on the lookout for this one😍
That bottle was total catfish lol 😂 Always my hun ♥️ That’s why I try and put the reviews as soon as I can. Even if they are initial impressions. Oh yes! I know Passion de night won’t be an easy find coz it’s quite old I believe. But sooo good! I am currently wearing it ♥️ I know you love your dark feminine perfumes as well 🖤
Hi my name is Celeste this is my hubby's account. I am using his computer today and happen to see you had a video! When you said "she got Stevie Nicks" regarding the Midnight Poison I cracked up! You are hilarious! Your reviews are so fun to watch! So informative!
Hey my hun ❤ What a beautiful name you have. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! I'm glad to bring some laughter and entertainment to your day 🤗♥️ Lol. Sometime I wonder if people get my jokes. Thank you for being so kind my hun ❤ xo
Gorgeous girl, I'm not going to leave a long comment but wanted to send my love and support. I'm unwell at the moment. I was tested last week for lupus but am still awaiting the results. It's become quite cool and my body doesn't react well to colder temperatures. I'd probably be happy in your climate!😍 Thinking of you and encouraging you to not push yourself. Stress is such a flare trigger, you know? All my love.❤❤
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Can you please let me know when you get the results hun? These AI illnesses are so difficult to live with. I really wish you well and hope you recover soon or at least be able to manage your symptoms well ❤ Please dont ever worry about commenting my hun ❤ Health first yea? I have noticed that stress, bad quality sleep and digestive issues trigger my flares and vice versa lol.

The test was negative for now. And my biologic is working because my AI marker(ANA titer) is negative from a high of 1:1280. Thank you, for your concern and prayers, my friend. ❤️❤️❤️
Hallo Simin! You are so right about Afeef. It smells like every perfume, but yet no particular one. It's......fine. I too had unrealistic expectations, but the bottle kind of indicated that this would be special. No. Oh well. I own Luscious...this is much denser than Yum Pistachio and I definitely pick up that peanut.
Hey my hun ♥️ Exactly what I thought too. The bottle made me think it would wow me. Oh well. You win some, you learn some lol 😂 I quite like the Luscious especially since winter is easing in for us ♥️♥️♥️
Happy Holiday in advance my hun ♥️ May your home be filled with love and joy and your family blessed with immense happiness and spirit of the season 🤗♥️
@@SiminShaikhI love your reviews and appreciate your inputs. You are special ,never let anyone tell you otherwise❤️❤️❤️ I watch your playlist over and over again. Hope you can get the watch time 🥰🥰🥰 PS: please take time to rest and I wish you a speedy recovery. I will pray god for your good health ❤❤❤
Hey Simin, I'm not sure if you have ever come across a dupe of Gloria by casharel?. If you have I would love find out where I might get one. I love your content, thank you for all your perfume advice and reviews 💗 xx
Hey my hun ❤ I have not laid my nose on Gloria yet. But I have added it to my "to sniff" list and will find you a close one soon (hopefully) ❤ Thank you so much for your kindness my hun ❤❤❤
Afeef sounds like La Vie Est Belle, Prada Paradox, Voce Vita by Valentino, Angel Elixir by Mugler, the new version of Euphoria EDT by Calvin Klein, Coack Blossom (or any other Coach scent released in the past 3 years and pretty much every designer fragrance released since 2020.
Hi Simin❤ guess what! I finally found the lamsat harir where I'm from and it's on the way ❤😊 I got it on your recommendation. Also I think afeef was compared to the whole "valaya/fleur narcotique" thing ... but I'm not sure. update: i love lamsat harir! it's so fruity and sweet. really beautiful 💗 I was craving that berry smell
Hey my hun ❤❤❤ Yayyyy!!! I get so happy when anyone like a perfume I really like. Does it not just instantly put you in a good mood? ❤ You could not be more right about Afeef. It definitely has a bit of Valaya with a mix bag of fruity florals
Hey my hun ❤ I am with you. I was also on a hunt for a good dupe coz I miss Midnight Poison so much. While not the exact same, Passion de Night will definitely serve the craving ❤
Hi I've the passion by night and yes it's nice but never tried the original to compare..they also do a pure passion to which I am tempted to get. Just wished they did hypnotic poison .
This head covering is gorgeous! After being converted to Amethyst, I am interested in this Passion de Night. The first one looks like a creature in a science fiction show.... I think its so funny that you hate bottles like are really over the top. The ad is gorgeous. I actually much prefer the Arab perfumes and think they are superior to the originals. Once in a while they miss, with the rubbery start in some, but the times they get it right far outweigh the ones they don't. Have you done the hair oils?
Thank you my beautiful hun ♥️ I went in for Passion de Night without any expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s really unique just like the OG. The lasting power could be better though. Hahaha yea I like creativity but some of these, I just don’t understand lol. I could not agree with you more about the Arabian counterparts. It’s like they fill in the blanks for us ♥️♥️♥️
@@SiminShaikh I think they should stop even trying to dupe because these fragrances don't have that 'mass production' preservative smell. I've come to not like that. I feel as if the Arabic fragrances want to apologise for not having that wet or alcohol professionally preserved quality, but they are actually superior in my opinion. I have bought the oils for years but this is a whole new world.
Hey my hun, you look so beautiful, thank you for this video. I think I would also feel very disappointed by Lattafa Afeef as looking at that divine box, I would have firstly thought it that the top /cap would have been created of metal and I feel the thought of this taking up so much space and being made of plastic , is just a waste, it would be nicer with just a lovely bottle and metal cap of some kind BUT also looking at the bottle I would have expected something magical , some epic perfume and it sounds as if it is old school or perhaps just something done and done again and again. BUT Fragrance World Passion de Night would be right up my alley, I had Midnight Poison and LOVED it so much and I would buy Passion de Night but I cannot see it anywhere Down Under, on eBay it is $160 with postage which is ludicrous. I was concerned for you , thinking of all the work with editing you would have with the 12 Days Of Christmas video when you commented about this last week. I also am aware of how much time editing takes , also of the shorts to which you add so many extra images , footage etc. So please look after yourself and it is so true and best what you said about going into the new year healthy. I usually try and do so much before Christmas just as the heat begins in December and I found I could not even sort out one of the kitchen cupboards yesterday in 28 degrees ( very humid, which is not like us) weather . We do not cope so well with the warmth and 80 to 90 % humidity as we are 'enjoying' right now. The nights are without any breeze and so warm and muggy. Apparently our summer is meant to be like this. So this Christmas I promised myself not to rush and overdo things especially being so anaemic, with kidney issues , long covid and Fibro Flares. I will try and just chill if and when I can. I am going to remember your wise words about going healthy into the new year 💝 In his warm weather here I am missing wearing my noir perfumes so much. How wonderful that your niece will be visiting ❤❤❤❤. A Vlog , wow that sounds exciting. Today is the 8th Sunti Day as we adopted our precious Apple on this day 8 years ago, he has been so playful today as if he knew it was a special day, running around chuckling, watching the birds and chasing toys and smooching. He and Pushkin had lots of treats today. 😻😺. Sending love and smoochies to Markus 🙀 and happy kisses from Pushkin and Sunti 😽😻. Sending sooo much love ❤🧡❤ to you and light 💫💛, forever your sis and friend Tia 💜 xx
Hey my beautiful hun ❤ Exactly my thought. I went into it thinking it would be something like Fragile by JPG, I dunno why I had that in my head. Perhaps because Ego Exotic had a peacock on it? Lol. What a disappointment. Its like an adulterated Valaya. I am still hoping it will mature for the better. Oh yes, Passion De Night is something you will like but you should not purchase it for anything over 40-50USD. Any price above that is not right my hun ❤ Oh my word! We have some days here with over 80% humidity and it is so difficult to breathe in it. I am so happy you are taking it easy and not pushing yourself when you dont have to. I am also doing he same my hun. These chronic illnesses are unyielding and we have to fend for ourselves. Definitely not worth taking the risk by pushing the body further. I only have Fibro, I cannot even imagine with Anemia, coz that stuff hots differently. The exhaustion is unexplainable. Plus long covid and kidney issues. No no, absolutely not. You must out your health first beautiful. You are way to precious for us ❤❤❤ I find it so strange that we are entering winter and you the opposite. As a child I always thought we all had winters together across the globe lol. Silly Sim ❤ Oh bless lol. See how intuitive cats are ❤ Thats why I love them so much ❤ Happy Sunti Day ❤ May your furbabies live long healthy happy lives with their beautiful mommy ❤ So much love your way gorgeous sister ❤ Stay well and stay blessed ❤ So much love & light to you from Sim, Ali and Markus xo
@@SiminShaikh Thank you my beautiful hun ❤🧡❤. It is so strange to think I have been here more than double the time that I lived in Germany and yet..... I still think of Christmas and the new year as being in winter, Easter I still think it is the start of spring 🤣😂. No wonder I am such a confused person 😂. And do not get me started talking about how differently toilets work in Germany compared to Australia LOL 🤣😆. You'd think that I would had so many eons getting used to my family and friends having opposite seasons but yet somewhere in my programming it is still strange even though I 'know' it is so. I have a dear darling friend who lives in my birth city of Hamburg and she sends me videos of beautiful Hamburg and I have seen snow in my old home town already this season. I do hope I will eventually see Passion De Night for sale here. I noticed there are so many perfumes that we still do not get Down Under or if we do see it, it is impossibly expensive. Sunti had such a wonderful day, precious Apple as did Pushkin with him as well. Sweet Pushkin is following me where ever I go at the moment . 😍 My angel , writing you "only have fibro" is an oxymoron as there is no only in fibro, anyone with fibro is a warrior, fighting that damn beast of an illness. I am so glad that you are taking care of yourself in ensuring you go into the new year being as healthy as possible ❤It is such a good thing to do. We spent our last holiday day together ( Gerry has 2 months left of leave so he will take some more during summer and perhaps late or middle autumn) at the bay, saw 2 geese in the ocean, the were at the beach and then swam and flew off. It was magical, also saw black swans ( they have white feathers underneath at the tips of their wings) fly off after swimming and they looked magnificent. Oh, we also saw a darling sweet Pademelon ( small native wallaby) who was sitting there looking at us for a while until it hopped off) . It was heavenly at the sea with 26 C today and not so muggy during the day (48% humidity). We had a wonderful picnic which included home baked cinnamon star cookies. When we eat these at home we have to keep Sunti away as he adores these so much ( he is given some but not too much ). So much love to you, my beautiful , much loved sister, and stay blessed and well and of course so much love and light to you , and of course Ali and Markus ( and your family ) ❤🧡❤
Can you please recommend perfumes for the colder months that is a sexy floral (not rose) and lasts long? The closest thing I have is glossier you but in my opinion it fades away quickly.
Ooooh this is a tough one, coz all the winter sexy on es are rose based. You can try Angham (Lavender Vanilla), Khadlaj Musk pour amber (Nutty Floral), Tharwah Gold (Libre + L'interdit), Lattafa Emaan (Beware it is a little dated)
No no esta en español Tienes la opción de subtitulos en español Pero No puedo leer porque veo mal😔 Veo otras chicas que si se oye en español. Muchas gracias por tu esfuerzo . un saludo y bendiciones
Simin, it very much appears that NOBODY can figure Afeef out. There are half a dozen fragrances in the "smells like" category and they're all not only completely different from each other but there's nonody agreeíng to any of the picks!! One intrigued me, though.... Check this out, it's called Reef 31 by Reef perfumes. It sounds like what you described but has very few notes.
Hey my hun ♥️ Ok so that confirms that I’m not coming down with a brain rot lol. It’s like you are on the verge of figuring it out and then you loose that thought. I don’t think I have ever tried anything from Reef perfume yet and you have me intrigued ♥️ Lemme see if I can get this.
Hi, Sim! ❤ No worries about not being able to do 12 days of Christmas content this year. We want you to prioritize your health. I come from a superstitious family so I fear that you'll frequently get sick throughout the year if you start the year with sickness. So, take all the rest that you need. Orrrrr... just do shorts for the rest of December until you feel better. I love the creativity used in Middle Eastern fragrances but Lattafa is really going overboard with the bottle designs. They are impractical at this point. Why don't they change the bottles of the Yara line instead? 😅 Luscious caught my attention when I watched other reviews for that line. And you're right about the Yum! Pistachio Gelato. It smelt more like a pistachio lotion with an overwhelmingly sweet opening. Glad to know that Luscious is different. However, I just asked my sister to gift me Khadlaj Pista Romance for Christmas already. 😅 Perhaps, next year, along with Johayna Green? 🥺
Hey my hun ♥️ Thank you so much for understanding babe. I am the same. I also believe in certain superstitions and rituals lol. I know I should not but they are weirdly real. I will still make my one two videos a week. Coz I will miss filming but definitely with caution. Hahahaa you totally cracked me up 🤣 The MUST change the Yara bottles. Brace yourself, there is a new Tendre Yara in a ugly purple bottle coming soon 🤣 Oh yea the luscious is so much better. I got a lot of heat for not liking Khair Pistachio and Yum Pistachio but both Johayna Green and Luscious are absolutely lovely! There is always next year for gifts hehe, or your birthday maybe? Thanks so much hun 🤗♥️ I needed a light hearted moment ♥️
@@SiminShaikh My birthday is on the 23rd of this month. I'm already used to "fusion" gifts of birthday and Christmas. 😂 Besides, I usually buy perfumes for myself because perfumes are very personal.
Hi Simin, Afeef is said to be a dupe of a combination of Erba Pura and PDM Valaya. Do you agree? Also, another dupe for Midnight Poison is Pendora Nuit de Passion. I have a bottle, and it has pretty decent performance. I'm curious about Luscious, how is it compared to Lattafa Affection? I'm torn between these two.
Hey beautiful ❤ Absolutely! I do detect a partial Valaya, so I feel they tried to make a twist of a perfume. It also has partial generic fruity parts from the perfumes I dont like. So you might just be right about Erba Pura ❤ Oh! I will try and get Nuit de Passion then. I need a bottle for the office lol. The base for both is pistachio, but that added peanut note here is making it so much better. I quite dislike the Khair and Affection. Luscious is more gourmand and less synthetic compared to Affection.
I got Afeef and was so disappointed. I do not like Fruit-chouli fragrances and that’s all I can smell. This is eternal on my skin. I couldn’t scrub it off. I’m letting it rest and hoping it improves
Oh no my hun! I completely understand, I am not a big fan of fruit-chouli scents either, they don't vibe with my skin either. Plus they tried to do a twist on the Valaya and it did not work
Hi beauty. I have a question: how come I can't see Angham among the collection behind u. I thought of buying it but maybe u think it's not good through the perfume maturing. So, do I buy it or not! Help ❤
Hey my hun ❤ It is on the top left shelf, I keep it right in the front coz I absolutely love it! Angham is one of those perfumes that I will forever have in my collection ❤ I would recommend it without any doubts. Just remember that for the first two weeks it need to mature coz the longevity is poor during this time ❤❤❤ Pls lemme know what you think when you get it beautiful ❤
@@SiminShaikh of course. I will let u know for sure. I was waiting for Angham to arrive in Europe for the longest time because u talked highly about it. I now compare everything to khamrah qahwah. Khamrah Qahwah sat the bench mark for me. It's so beautiful and unique. Hope Angham will be a good dupe for Burberry goddess and had a depth too. Thanks, Simin. All the love 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Simin. Please do one cherry fragrances too! I don't know if you have tried royal cherry from ahmed al maghribi. If you do please tell how's it different from cherry bouquet by afnan
Afeef bottle put me off right whe i saw and the perfume didn't intrest me as well I'm glad I didn't got it I am still waiting for angham to arrive here
Sehr is a stunning perfume in my opinion my hun ❤ The cap for Sehr is metal. Afeef however, the cap is plastic for sure. I think because it would be too heavy with the metal material.
I think you told me sometime back that you got into fragrances more recently, but your nose is absolutely impeccable hon! ❤ The way you pick out and describe the most subtle notes in fragrances just blows my mind!

Got a bottle of Oud Opulence shipped from US last week … To put it in the most simplest terms, it’s like a perfected fusion of Baccarat Rouge MFK and Oud For Greatness INITIO …
And like you mentioned Simin, the dry down is amazing 🔥
I would rate the
Scent: 9/10
Longevity: 8.5/10
Projection: 8/10
For the price point - the value proposition is great with this one as it does really feel and smell like a niche fragrance
Oohh I’ve been seeing Afeef everywhere but saaamee, I don’t like the bottle either 😭😅 I’m so grateful you reviewed it, you’re always helping me make the right perfume purchasing decisions ❤

Thank you my doll ♥️ Sooooo much love your way xo
Hello this is LaTonya love when your videos come on I'm always looking for something new Middle Eastern perfume to add to my collection
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤
I hope I make the selections easier for you babe ❤ The addiction is real ❤❤❤
Good review greetings from the Netherlands there are so many perfumes so many beeing released
Trust me babe ❤ Even I am all confused and tired now. It is tough to keep up with all the new perfumes and brands ❤
Hey Simin, I'm not sure if you have ever come across a dupe of Gloria by casharel?. If you have I would love find out where I might get one.
I love your content, thank you for all your perfume advice and reviews 💗 xx
Hey my hun ❤
I have not laid my nose on Gloria yet. But I have added it to my "to sniff" list and will find you a close one soon (hopefully) ❤ Thank you so much for your kindness my hun ❤❤❤
Your whole look ❤ 😍
Afeef sounds like La Vie Est Belle, Prada Paradox, Voce Vita by Valentino, Angel Elixir by Mugler, the new version of Euphoria EDT by Calvin Klein, Coack Blossom (or any other Coach scent released in the past 3 years and pretty much every designer fragrance released since 2020.
Hahahaaa omg yes! Like all of them yet not any of them. Just generic juice that you don’t hate but not love either 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Simin❤ guess what! I finally found the lamsat harir where I'm from and it's on the way ❤😊 I got it on your recommendation. Also I think afeef was compared to the whole "valaya/fleur narcotique" thing ... but I'm not sure.
update: i love lamsat harir! it's so fruity and sweet. really beautiful 💗 I was craving that berry smell
Hey my hun ❤❤❤
Yayyyy!!! I get so happy when anyone like a perfume I really like. Does it not just instantly put you in a good mood? ❤
You could not be more right about Afeef. It definitely has a bit of Valaya with a mix bag of fruity florals
Assalamu Alaikum hum!!!May Allah SWT give you quick and complete shifaa Aameen 😊❤️
Wa Alaikum Assalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh my beautiful hun ♥️🙏🏾 May Allah SWT bless you with health and happiness always 🤗
❤️❤️❤️
You mentioned Affef smells smiliar to Fragile in some way but more 2000. Did you mean like Couture Couture from Juicy Couture?
I need passion de night!!!! I loved midnight poison it’s so dark and sexy!!! I’ve been looking for a good dupe Paris corner has one but I’m not a fan😢
Hey my hun ❤
I am with you. I was also on a hunt for a good dupe coz I miss Midnight Poison so much. While not the exact same, Passion de Night will definitely serve the craving ❤
Hi I've the passion by night and yes it's nice but never tried the original to compare..they also do a pure passion to which I am tempted to get. Just wished they did hypnotic poison .
Hey my gorgeous hun ❤
The OG is discontinued unfortunately. I wish someone did a good Hypnotic Poison as well. Its my fave from the lot ❤
This head covering is gorgeous! After being converted to Amethyst, I am interested in this Passion de Night. The first one looks like a creature in a science fiction show.... I think its so funny that you hate bottles like are really over the top. The ad is gorgeous. I actually much prefer the Arab perfumes and think they are superior to the originals. Once in a while they miss, with the rubbery start in some, but the times they get it right far outweigh the ones they don't. Have you done the hair oils?
Thank you my beautiful hun ♥️
I went in for Passion de Night without any expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s really unique just like the OG. The lasting power could be better though.
Hahaha yea I like creativity but some of these, I just don’t understand lol. I could not agree with you more about the Arabian counterparts. It’s like they fill in the blanks for us ♥️♥️♥️
@@SiminShaikh I think they should stop even trying to dupe because these fragrances don't have that 'mass production' preservative smell. I've come to not like that. I feel as if the Arabic fragrances want to apologise for not having that wet or alcohol professionally preserved quality, but they are actually superior in my opinion. I have bought the oils for years but this is a whole new world.
Hey my hun, you look so beautiful, thank you for this video. I think I would also feel very disappointed by Lattafa Afeef as looking at that divine box, I would have firstly thought it that the top /cap would have been created of metal and I feel the thought of this taking up so much space and being made of plastic , is just a waste, it would be nicer with just a lovely bottle and metal cap of some kind BUT also looking at the bottle I would have expected something magical , some epic perfume and it sounds as if it is old school or perhaps just something done and done again and again. BUT Fragrance World Passion de Night would be right up my alley, I had Midnight Poison and LOVED it so much and I would buy Passion de Night but I cannot see it anywhere Down Under, on eBay it is $160 with postage which is ludicrous.
I was concerned for you , thinking of all the work with editing you would have with the 12 Days Of Christmas video when you commented about this last week. I also am aware of how much time editing takes , also of the shorts to which you add so many extra images , footage etc. So please look after yourself and it is so true and best what you said about going into the new year healthy. I usually try and do so much before Christmas just as the heat begins in December and I found I could not even sort out one of the kitchen cupboards yesterday in 28 degrees ( very humid, which is not like us) weather . We do not cope so well with the warmth and 80 to 90 % humidity as we are 'enjoying' right now. The nights are without any breeze and so warm and muggy. Apparently our summer is meant to be like this.
So this Christmas I promised myself not to rush and overdo things especially being so anaemic, with kidney issues , long covid and Fibro Flares. I will try and just chill if and when I can. I am going to remember your wise words about going healthy into the new year 💝
In his warm weather here I am missing wearing my noir perfumes so much.
How wonderful that your niece will be visiting ❤❤❤❤. A Vlog , wow that sounds exciting.
Today is the 8th Sunti Day as we adopted our precious Apple on this day 8 years ago, he has been so playful today as if he knew it was a special day, running around chuckling, watching the birds and chasing toys and smooching. He and Pushkin had lots of treats today. 😻😺. Sending love and smoochies to Markus 🙀 and happy kisses from Pushkin and Sunti 😽😻.
Sending sooo much love ❤🧡❤ to you and light 💫💛, forever your sis and friend Tia 💜 xx
Hey my beautiful hun ❤
Exactly my thought. I went into it thinking it would be something like Fragile by JPG, I dunno why I had that in my head. Perhaps because Ego Exotic had a peacock on it? Lol. What a disappointment. Its like an adulterated Valaya. I am still hoping it will mature for the better.
Oh yes, Passion De Night is something you will like but you should not purchase it for anything over 40-50USD. Any price above that is not right my hun ❤
Oh my word! We have some days here with over 80% humidity and it is so difficult to breathe in it. I am so happy you are taking it easy and not pushing yourself when you dont have to. I am also doing he same my hun. These chronic illnesses are unyielding and we have to fend for ourselves. Definitely not worth taking the risk by pushing the body further. I only have Fibro, I cannot even imagine with Anemia, coz that stuff hots differently. The exhaustion is unexplainable. Plus long covid and kidney issues. No no, absolutely not. You must out your health first beautiful. You are way to precious for us ❤❤❤
I find it so strange that we are entering winter and you the opposite. As a child I always thought we all had winters together across the globe lol. Silly Sim ❤
Oh bless lol. See how intuitive cats are ❤ Thats why I love them so much ❤ Happy Sunti Day ❤ May your furbabies live long healthy happy lives with their beautiful mommy ❤
So much love your way gorgeous sister ❤ Stay well and stay blessed ❤
So much love & light to you from Sim, Ali and Markus xo
@@SiminShaikh Thank you my beautiful hun ❤🧡❤. It is so strange to think I have been here more than double the time that I lived in Germany and yet..... I still think of Christmas and the new year as being in winter, Easter I still think it is the start of spring 🤣😂. No wonder I am such a confused person 😂. And do not get me started talking about how differently toilets work in Germany compared to Australia LOL 🤣😆.
You'd think that I would had so many eons getting used to my family and friends having opposite seasons but yet somewhere in my programming it is still strange even though I 'know' it is so. I have a dear darling friend who lives in my birth city of Hamburg and she sends me videos of beautiful Hamburg and I have seen snow in my old home town already this season.
I do hope I will eventually see Passion De Night for sale here. I noticed there are so many perfumes that we still do not get Down Under or if we do see it, it is impossibly expensive.
Sunti had such a wonderful day, precious Apple as did Pushkin with him as well. Sweet Pushkin is following me where ever I go at the moment . 😍
My angel , writing you "only have fibro" is an oxymoron as there is no only in fibro, anyone with fibro is a warrior, fighting that damn beast of an illness. I am so glad that you are taking care of yourself in ensuring you go into the new year being as healthy as possible ❤It is such a good thing to do.
We spent our last holiday day together ( Gerry has 2 months left of leave so he will take some more during summer and perhaps late or middle autumn) at the bay, saw 2 geese in the ocean, the were at the beach and then swam and flew off. It was magical, also saw black swans ( they have white feathers underneath at the tips of their wings) fly off after swimming and they looked magnificent. Oh, we also saw a darling sweet Pademelon ( small native wallaby) who was sitting there looking at us for a while until it hopped off) .
It was heavenly at the sea with 26 C today and not so muggy during the day (48% humidity). We had a wonderful picnic which included home baked cinnamon star cookies. When we eat these at home we have to keep Sunti away as he adores these so much ( he is given some but not too much ).
So much love to you, my beautiful , much loved sister, and stay blessed and well and of course so much love and light to you , and of course Ali and Markus ( and your family ) ❤🧡❤
Really eager to know your thoughts on the qaeed by lattafa…. Btw love your recommendations (already bought 3 of them)❤
Great review as always...can you make me apprised of the oil you referenced..thx you
Thank you my hun apprised So its called Johayna (Green) by Khadlaj ❤ Its a beautiful gourmand Pistachio fragrance ❤
Can you please recommend perfumes for the colder months that is a sexy floral (not rose) and lasts long? The closest thing I have is glossier you but in my opinion it fades away quickly.
Ooooh this is a tough one, coz all the winter sexy on es are rose based. You can try Angham (Lavender Vanilla), Khadlaj Musk pour amber (Nutty Floral), Tharwah Gold (Libre + L'interdit), Lattafa Emaan (Beware it is a little dated)
Me encanta tus vídeos...si pudieras hacerlos en español..te lo agradecería mucho....😊
Bendiciones ❤
Hola mi cariño
Si no me equivoco, YT ya lanzó la versión en español. ¿Puedes comprobarlo y avisarme si puedes?
Mucho amor a tu manera mi ángel ❤
No no esta en español
Tienes la opción de subtitulos en español
Pero No puedo leer porque veo mal😔
Veo otras chicas que si se oye en español.
Muchas gracias por tu esfuerzo .
un saludo y bendiciones
Simin, it very much appears that NOBODY can figure Afeef out. There are half a dozen fragrances in the "smells like" category and they're all not only completely different from each other but there's nonody agreeíng to any of the picks!! One intrigued me, though.... Check this out, it's called Reef 31 by Reef perfumes. It sounds like what you described but has very few notes.
Hey my hun ♥️
Ok so that confirms that I’m not coming down with a brain rot lol. It’s like you are on the verge of figuring it out and then you loose that thought.
I don’t think I have ever tried anything from Reef perfume yet and you have me intrigued ♥️ Lemme see if I can get this.
Which 1 you like more Queen , luscious or sweet paradies??? Thank you
Hy my beautiful hun ❤ Ooooooh tough choice but I would rate them as follows:
1. Sweet Paradise
2. Meringue
3. Luscious
@SiminShaikh sweet paradies is up there , so I want it hahahahah
Hi, Sim! ❤
No worries about not being able to do 12 days of Christmas content this year. We want you to prioritize your health. I come from a superstitious family so I fear that you'll frequently get sick throughout the year if you start the year with sickness. So, take all the rest that you need. Orrrrr... just do shorts for the rest of December until you feel better.
I love the creativity used in Middle Eastern fragrances but Lattafa is really going overboard with the bottle designs. They are impractical at this point. Why don't they change the bottles of the Yara line instead? 😅
Luscious caught my attention when I watched other reviews for that line. And you're right about the Yum! Pistachio Gelato. It smelt more like a pistachio lotion with an overwhelmingly sweet opening. Glad to know that Luscious is different. However, I just asked my sister to gift me Khadlaj Pista Romance for Christmas already. 😅 Perhaps, next year, along with Johayna Green? 🥺
Hey my hun ♥️
Thank you so much for understanding babe. I am the same. I also believe in certain superstitions and rituals lol. I know I should not but they are weirdly real. I will still make my one two videos a week. Coz I will miss filming but definitely with caution.
Hahahaa you totally cracked me up 🤣 The MUST change the Yara bottles. Brace yourself, there is a new Tendre Yara in a ugly purple bottle coming soon 🤣
Oh yea the luscious is so much better. I got a lot of heat for not liking Khair Pistachio and Yum Pistachio but both Johayna Green and Luscious are absolutely lovely! There is always next year for gifts hehe, or your birthday maybe?
Thanks so much hun 🤗♥️ I needed a light hearted moment ♥️
@@SiminShaikh My birthday is on the 23rd of this month. I'm already used to "fusion" gifts of birthday and Christmas. 😂 Besides, I usually buy perfumes for myself because perfumes are very personal.
Oh how I wish you were able to review The Dua brand fragrances😩 I need good advice😂❤
Hey my hun ❤ I know :( I wanted to try a few from them.
@@SiminShaikh🌬️🤍
My gosh that lattafa bottle is 😲
I know right?! lol ❤
Hi Simin, Afeef is said to be a dupe of a combination of Erba Pura and PDM Valaya. Do you agree?
Also, another dupe for Midnight Poison is Pendora Nuit de Passion. I have a bottle, and it has pretty decent performance.
I'm curious about Luscious, how is it compared to Lattafa Affection? I'm torn between these two.
Hey beautiful ❤
Absolutely! I do detect a partial Valaya, so I feel they tried to make a twist of a perfume. It also has partial generic fruity parts from the perfumes I dont like. So you might just be right about Erba Pura ❤
Oh! I will try and get Nuit de Passion then. I need a bottle for the office lol.
The base for both is pistachio, but that added peanut note here is making it so much better. I quite dislike the Khair and Affection. Luscious is more gourmand and less synthetic compared to Affection.
@SiminShaikh Thanks so much! I'll put in an order for Luscious
Afeef sounds similar to Good Girl Gone Bad or Kismet for women, what do you think? Also sounds similar to my Rasasi Daarej for Her
Hey my hun ❤
All of the above plus Valaya plus Erba Pura lol. Needless to say, i am not very fond of it ❤
Lattafa went crazy with the Afeef bottle coz wth was that 😂
Hahahaa I know right?! It is such an eyesore. I need to hide it out of my sight 😂
I got Afeef and was so disappointed. I do not like Fruit-chouli fragrances and that’s all I can smell. This is eternal on my skin. I couldn’t scrub it off. I’m letting it rest and hoping it improves
Oh no my hun! I completely understand, I am not a big fan of fruit-chouli scents either, they don't vibe with my skin either. Plus they tried to do a twist on the Valaya and it did not work
Hi beauty. I have a question: how come I can't see Angham among the collection behind u. I thought of buying it but maybe u think it's not good through the perfume maturing. So, do I buy it or not! Help ❤
Hey my hun ❤
It is on the top left shelf, I keep it right in the front coz I absolutely love it! Angham is one of those perfumes that I will forever have in my collection ❤ I would recommend it without any doubts. Just remember that for the first two weeks it need to mature coz the longevity is poor during this time ❤❤❤ Pls lemme know what you think when you get it beautiful ❤
@@SiminShaikh of course. I will let u know for sure. I was waiting for Angham to arrive in Europe for the longest time because u talked highly about it. I now compare everything to khamrah qahwah. Khamrah Qahwah sat the bench mark for me. It's so beautiful and unique. Hope Angham will be a good dupe for Burberry goddess and had a depth too. Thanks, Simin. All the love 🥰🥰🥰
SIMIN, have you ever heard of the House of DUA Fragrances.?
Heyaaa! A lot, but unfortunately for us, it is nit available in the UAE :(
@@SiminShaikh Hello beautiful UAE Red 🌹 Rose 🌹. Maybe in the future I could help you to get fragrances from Dua Fragrances.
Can you please list the website or store location to buy French Avenue perfumes in UAE? Appreciate it 🙏🏽
❤
So much love your way my hun ❤
My buying worm has 37 fragrances in its Amazon cart
Hahaha so relatableee😭😭😭
Oh no my hun, that is a whole other level of shopping hahaha 😂 I am trying to keep my worm sedated for now 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Simin 😊 you are very kind to Afeef - I am very disappointed. How could they harm such a beautiful bottle with such content 🫣😂
Hey my hun ❤
I know right? Why did they put that juice in this bottle? Its like they did a "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" and chose the bottle lol ❤
Plz review lattafa badee al oud noble blush
Look through Sim's uploads 😊
Hey my hun ❤
I already have babe, in my precious haul video ❤ Do check it out xo
elle ysl it's very close to Dior perfume
Thank you so much for letting me know. I will check this out soon. I quite like the bottle of Elle too ❤
@SiminShaikh no problem I wish you a lot of new viewers ☺️
Hi Simin. Please do one cherry fragrances too! I don't know if you have tried royal cherry from ahmed al maghribi. If you do please tell how's it different from cherry bouquet by afnan
Hey gorgeous hun ❤ I've got Royal Cherry on my radar! I've heard amazing things. I will get to it as soon as I can. ❤
Kindly suggest best middle eastern clone of Montobacco Intensivo By Ormonde Jayne
Afeef bottle put me off right whe i saw and the perfume didn't intrest me as well I'm glad I didn't got it I am still waiting for angham to arrive here
Yeah, I know what you mean 😂 Angham is definitely a winner in my books! I reach for it so much ♥️
I want Sehr so bad. I love that bottle. But once i heard that afeef had a metal cap j may get it as a perfume display piece but meh
Sehr is a stunning perfume in my opinion my hun ❤ The cap for Sehr is metal.
Afeef however, the cap is plastic for sure. I think because it would be too heavy with the metal material.
I want sample Afeef and Sehr because of these ridicules bottles.
Hahahaaaa 😂 It’s a trap!!! lol. No no in all seriousness, Seth is a gorgeous scent. Unfortunately I don’t share the same sentiments with Afeef ♥️
I am also not liking the afeef presentation 😢, the scent as well.
Oh my hun, I hear you! It's so unfortunate we don't always click with a scent. ❤
