God bless you! It is so refreshing to hear you speak about Jesus. I wasn't expecting that but its so awesome to see someone be a shining light in the dark ❤️❤️
I love to layer my MFK Grand Soir with other perfumes in my collection. I picked up Fragrance World- Barakkat Amber Eve as an alternative to keep my Grand Soir from getting too low and I found the Fragrance World dupe EXTREMELY similar!! I’ll have my MFK for years to come lol
I have heard different reviewers rave about French Coffee for almost a year before pulling the trigger and purchasing for my birthday. It's such a chocolaty coffee rich fragrance with lots of coconut milk fused with brown sugar. It's pretty good but it isn't your traditional coffee that smells like ground roasted beans. It's definitely creamier and kind of reminds me of the instant flavor coffees that use to be popular in the 90s
Thank you for sharing, beauty. I definitely get what you mean by coconut milk and that instant coffee vibe...I think that may be why I get a sugar substitute from it as it starts to dry down...
@@Dr.Kerleen I just oversprayed it on my wrist, which I never do, and it reminds me of getting a 711 dark roast and putting a bunch of caramel, vanilla, and Irish cream flavored coffee creamers into it with some Raw Sugar packets.
Great haul and such great descriptions of them all. Your voice is so soothing. I have been on the fence about Ish Al Shuyukh because of those leathery notes. I bought Lataffa Amethyst and it also has a very anamalic oud that smells of leather that was hard for me at first, and its not traditionally pretty and will not put nose directly to skin, but the sillage in the air you get is so pretty so I feel that would be the same. I went on a Middle Eastern frag binge and have all the others you mentioned and have been LOVING my collection.
Thank you so much, sis. If you do end up getting Ishq Al Shuyukh take it outside, spray it out and let it sit in a cool place. DOn't even smell it until after a few weeks. The leather note is not strong to my nose. I'm going to check out the one you mentioned. Yes, I think I'm mid-binge lol. I am so amazed at how good these fragrances are at such affordable prices. What are some of your favorites?
I will definitely do that. Whew this road is dangerous but I def have quite a few I am loving, I will put inspired in parenthesis...Inifi Rose by Maison Alhambra (Atomic Rose Initio), Nasheet (Ani Nishane), Mohra- pink and black (Penhaligans), Asdaaf Prive Rose (Sweeter Delina Exclusif), Asdaf red bottle (Less tuberose heavy Armani My Way), Shagaf Oud Azraq-blue bottle and original, Lataffa Honor and Glory, Exclusif Rose Maison Alhambra, Tharwah Gold Lataffa (YSL Libre but less lavendar) and Casablanca. I have more but those are my tops@@Dr.Kerleen
Please get it if I’m not wrong it’s been discontinued. I sent a bottle to my female cousin and told her to keep sampling it some magic will happen. First day she straight up said she hates it. I forced her to keep sampling it,3 weeks later it’s a LOVE. This is one of the most Luxurious scents I’ve ever smelled.
Hey, great reviews I had to learn the hard way about letting your fragrances macerate. when I first started collecting If I didn’t like it, I would give it away, now I always do a spray and sniff, but don’t judge put it away and come back before you pass judgment and even then use it a few times to make sure , although there have been a couple that I just could not stand like complete scrubbers no matter how long they sit but also ones that I hated and now ❤
Recently got French Coffee and IT’S SO STRONG!! 😭 I’m leaving it for a few weeks in the hopes that the scent develops a bit, bc I know the first few sprays aren’t indicative of the actual scent. Fingers crossed it becomes a scent I like bc it’s my first coffee scent 😅
If you like Ishq al shuyukh, then try Arabiyat Nayel Queen. Its an inspiration of YSL babycat. Its sooooooo good. Its giving the Angel's Share -Khamrah situation. Im so grateful for middle eastern scent.
Sis bright colors are so gorgeous on your skin tone 😍… thank you for this video I surely want to own some of these on the list. I only have about 3 Choco musk, soft and it’s another that Incant remember the name lol. Where did you get your French coffee? I’ve been wanting that one for awhile.
So happy I just saw this. I literally just got my bottle of Ishq Al Shuyukh yesterday and about died. Smelled so bad like oil and rubber. You have just given me hope that it will evolve into what the reviewer sold me on lol. I love leather in fragrances but this was awful when I sprayed it yesterday. Thank you for stating before hand that this one needs to sit. I will try it again in a few weeks.
At least you got it this time of year. Let it sit for about three months to see the magic. You have to have patience with this one but it’s worth it. 🙌🏾 Macerate it and take the top off. If you must use it sooner, you still will need to let it sit for a month and then decant it. I’ve had mine since last November. 🥰 I can’t wait until fall.
@@Dr.Kerleenthe Al Haramain ones are lovely but CAN smell a little like gasoline for a while! the A/H ones really do need to sit but if you have the patience they’ll be really nice scent. If you try to club de nuit ones, they can also be ‘gasoliney’ too. Once they’ve macerated, again, they’ll be lovely.
Your videos are super helpful and I love your indepth reviews. I own a couple of middle eastern fragrances. My favorites right off the pack were qaed al fursan unlimited, musamam white intense, Al nashama, khair pistachio but others are Choco musk, Qissati volume 1. However, I'm letting all of them sit and macerate. I've been on the hunt for ishq al shuyukh for a while now. It sounds like right up my alley
Hi beauty! What an amazing line up! Yes, maceration is key with how quickly they make and ship these fragrances. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback! xoxo
I got the Isqh al Shuyukh for my Dad and he has ditched his favourite scent. Its now his new favourite. Nayel queen is my favourite. They smell similar but Nayel queen is more feminine in my opinion. I went from hating them completely to loving them absolutely. Just be patient with them.
Wow! That's saying a lot🥰 Lattafa has some amazing scents that rival many deisgner/niche brands. It's gotten a but too intense for me as it's starting to warm up where I live, but it is a great scent...esp. after maceration.
Wow you really got the good one's!! I also want to get french coffee and ch0co musk ...do you find french coffee sticky sweet ? I heard on RUclips someone said it's feel sticky ...
Hi beauty! Thank you. I think the ones I have so far are perfect. I think French coffee dries down to super sweet...not sticky sweet, but definitely sweet. :) Dark roast in the opening and creamy sweet dry down.
Hola amiga quiero el Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold , french coffee huele a capuccino 😍 y el amber grand suena bastante bien , Justo hoy programé un video de arabes , te mando un abrazo 🤗 feliz miércoles ! 😘
Hola preciosa. Gracias por ver. Creo que una vez que Ishq Al Shuyukh repose un rato te gustará. Sí, estoy de acuerdo... French Coffee es un capuchino delicioso. :) Voy a ver tu vídeo.
I have Choco Musk, Qissa Pink, Soft, Khamrah, Ambre Eve, Khair Pistachio, Yara and Yara Tous. Some are sitting because they are new but rn I love Soft the most I love the citrusy powdery sweetness next is Khamrah omg its so good my husband constantly compliments it then Qissa pink, truly a pink drink while still being fresh my coworker kept sniffling me until I sent her the link 😂
@@Dr.Kerleen I would say Yara, its less powdery and more fruity than Yara but not enough to have both but enough that I don’t wear my Yara if that makes sense? It did have to sit awhile to get its full profile though
@@Dr.KerleenLol thats not how insulin works from someone with a med science degree, maybe if the scent makes you hungry and you eat 😂 I see where the perception might have a difference in how food is stored in the body with a study in mice and a study in how well someone can smell affecting their bmi but stick to peer reviewed research when things like this are in question. Thats just not how insulin works thank goodness no glucose no insulin spike, no matter how sweet something may smell theres no glucose in it to enter the bloodstream or Id be huge
So much drama about Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold. I get no gasoline lol I get leather and suede yes and an amazing dry down on me. One of the most unique fragrances ever. If it’s this good when new I can only imagine what it will be like once it’s macerates
Mine was a love at opening too. Now I am gonna order a backup and two more as a gift for people who smelt it and liked it on me❤❤❤❤. I am hooked on this.
❤ I have to say, that i like how you review these fragrances. You tell your experience. You describe wat you smell. It diffrent than some others that are just reading the notes. Like,, i can read that myself 😂 Right now i want a realistic cocoa butter sweet fragrance that is beast mode. I LOVE the cocoa butter scent. If you come across something like that please share. Also i think we share the same kind of taste. I have the Chocomusk and Lataffa khamrah and i LOVE them aswell. Tomorrow i'll pick up the Lattafa ishq al Shuyukh and Nebras. I hope i like them. Also ❤ your outro Matthew 5:16 KJV [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 6:33 KJV [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Amen!
Hi beauty! I really appreciate your feedback. It means a lot to me! Oh, definitely will be sharing if something like that comes about. A cocoa butter type scent would be amazing. 😍😍😍Thank you so much for the encouragement and the Bible verses! 🥰🙏🏾
God bless you! It is so refreshing to hear you speak about Jesus. I wasn't expecting that but its so awesome to see someone be a shining light in the dark ❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words, my sis in Christ! I'm so glad it resonated with you. 💕

Hey beauty!❤ Thank you so much for that recommendation. I may or may not have bought Grand Soir recently! 😆😆😆
I’ll def. consider keeping the dupe to use as you are using it. ❤ Thanks for watching.
Have you tried Eternal Oud?
No, but I've heard great things about it. 😃 What's been your experience with it?
@@Dr.Kerleen I got the hubs a pocket spray and want a full bottle. Wondering how it compares?
The message at the end was everything! Such a beautiful and significant message...definitely encouraging! God bless you, love! 🙏🏼💕🙂
Hi beauty! Thank you so much for watching. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and the message at the end touched you. God bless you sis! ❤😘🙏🏾🥰

I started getting coconut from it, though it's not listed as a note
Really?! That's so interesting...I'm going to go back and smell it today and see If I can detect that.
@@Dr.Kerleen Might have to sit on the shelf and percolate, I only just noticed after awhile.
@@Dr.Kerleen I just oversprayed it on my wrist, which I never do, and it reminds me of getting a 711 dark roast and putting a bunch of caramel, vanilla, and Irish cream flavored coffee creamers into it with some Raw Sugar packets.

Yes, I agree with you…it’s hard for me to let them sit, though. I would go back every couple of days to check lol 😆 thanks for watching, friend.
Recently got French Coffee and IT’S SO STRONG!! 😭 I’m leaving it for a few weeks in the hopes that the scent develops a bit, bc I know the first few sprays aren’t indicative of the actual scent. Fingers crossed it becomes a scent I like bc it’s my first coffee scent 😅
Oh no! Yes, let it sit and come back to it in like a month…
Also, spray out the fragrance until you feel the straw is clear.
@@Dr.Kerleen Oooh yes, I’ve just done this with all the new frags I’ve bought over the past fortnight. Looking forward to trying it out again 😋
If you like Ishq al shuyukh, then try Arabiyat Nayel Queen. Its an inspiration of YSL babycat. Its sooooooo good.
Its giving the Angel's Share -Khamrah situation.
Im so grateful for middle eastern scent.
I'm definitely checking out Arabiyat! Thank you too much for that recommendation, lovely. 🥰💞

Never mind i see your link in the description lol. I couldn’t find it on Amazon awhile back when I was looking so it’s nice to see they have it now.
Thank you so much sis! Ok, good. Plz let me know what you think when you get it. I think you will like it.

Thx for ur vid

In my opinion, yes, but not sickly sweet.
@❤Dr.Kerleen
Interesting re choco musk. Did you know that some smells can make you gain weight as your body produces insulin when you smell it :)
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing that! I'm definitely going to look into the science behind that...so interesting.
@@Dr.KerleenLol thats not how insulin works from someone with a med science degree, maybe if the scent makes you hungry and you eat 😂 I see where the perception might have a difference in how food is stored in the body with a study in mice and a study in how well someone can smell affecting their bmi but stick to peer reviewed research when things like this are in question.

Actually she is right, sweet fragrances can spike insulin
So much drama about Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold. I get no gasoline lol I get leather and suede yes and an amazing dry down on me. One of the most unique fragrances ever. If it’s this good when new I can only imagine what it will be like once it’s macerates
