@@SiminShaikhufff, im sorry you have to experience that:(( Just think about their issues, they are unhealed souls, they can't spread love & light, never, PLS, never take serious what they are saying, if people be mean to such a gorgeous, bright, lovely woman/soul, it says so much about them and there can't be truth to it...🙏💪👌🤌💞💫
Hehehe thank you so much hun ❤️ You all have made me face (or rather ignore) online bullies all together. Sending sooooo much love your way babe ❤️❤️❤️
I don't care to comment often unless I have something to say, but if there's one thing I can hopefully do for not much effort is to wish you well and let you know you're doing a great job. I think you explain and compare perfumes so well and it's your opinion and it should be respected. You seem like a lovely person so please don't let other people get you down. Hope you feel better ^_^
I appreciate your videos and trust your opinions! Anyone who is not a fan, you know what they say, you could be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there will still be people who don't like peaches. I really appreciate your videos ❤️
First off, how friggin gorgeous are you!!! ❤️ Thank you for the kind words babe. In a perfect world, everyone would speak kindly or not at all. Sadly we do not live in a perfect world. Maybe Elon Musk's Mars program will help us all 😂😂😂
First let me say you look like a ray of sunshine. Sometime people need to keep their stupid ignorant comments to themselves period. My dear you have the right to describe a fragrance any way you want it's your channel. Keep being you I love your channel, and videos 💜
Thank you soooooo much babe! I don't mind constructive criticism but blatant insults are just hurtful even to the strongest of people. I feel so happy that you guys have my back ❤ Love you loads! ❤❤❤
Simin don't pay attention to the negative comments. I, for one, adore your videos and I like how animated you get about perfumes because I'm just like you. Those people are miserable and just looking for company. Don't join them
Thank you so much my beautiful hun! You are so right! ❤❤❤ I had not deleted the comments before and I would keep seeing them on my YT dashboard. I deleted them for my peace of mind ❤❤❤ Much love to you for taking time and addressing this to me xx
I love your videos, Sim! It was an instant subscribe for me from the first one I found. You talk so much more in depth about perfumes from the Middle East than other channels, and that’s exactly the kind of information I need! Thank you!
You’re one of the best reviewers here and you’re one of the very few which shares my sense of smell and you’ve been spot on about all of them. So thank you!! 😊
Can you please do a video about the best Middle Eastern fragrances that do NOT have oud in them. I am finding that note to be too much these days. Sometimes I just need a smooth blend without any oud 😫
Thank you so much. I was on the lookout for some summer fragrances for weeks now. I hope there's more😂on your page as well. I love your videos so much.❤
When a hater unloads that way, it’s because there’s something negative or missing in them not in you! Even when you’re animated you’re always lovely and graceful, it makes you very comforting to watch! I especially love your nail polish color on this video. I wanted to comment asking the shade before I heard about the hater. I really love my Lattafas and I appreciate your advice to help my collecting. ❤
Thank you my sweetheart! ❤ New day, new lesson. I will try and not take such comments to heart. Thank you for your kind words and making me feel better babe. The shade was from the salon, I will find out the number next time i visit them
@@SiminShaikh You’re too sweet! I love coral and pink nail colors, they always look so fresh. I also think you should maybe consider a makeup tutorial because I love the way you wear your eye makeup! So classy! Blessings!
Yeeey, thanks much Simin for showing the summer scents. I love fresh and cool scents, I wish you included the pineapple scents as tropical/summery fragrances. Came across your channel 2days ago and I cant stop watching now! I actually ordered my 2nd batch of perfumes after watching your videos. You're literally my guide in having middle eastern fragrances, you are like a fairy godmother lol! The moment you said you love rose+oud combination on one of your videos, Im like, "I trust her" coz I love rose oud too after sniffing the Jo Malone velvet rose and oud sample. And so Im extremely happy you showed also rose and oud arabic perfumes and no less than 30mins, I ordered online!
#HandsOffTheLeaderOfTheSquad if a person doesnt like the way you do reviews there are so many people doing perfume reviews. Im sure they can find someone that leans their way. As for infuriating 😕 that is weird. I am taking down so many perfumes to blind buy because I trust you like that. Remember "Opinions are not facts,take them in and let them go" ❤ Love❤❤ All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦❤
Hehehee aww bless. You made me smile babe ❤️❤️❤️ I have made note of your second para in my notes on the phone. I will read it out loud every time I feel let down. Thank you for taking time and writing this for me xx Much much love to you all the way from Dubai xo xo xo
Why I love your channel is your charismatic way of expressing your opinions! Don't let the jealous people get to you. What I like is your directness. I do not like when someone is afraid to give a true review in a negative way because they have fear of comments or losing the ability to get PR. Thank you Sim for being you.
I enjoy your reviews, I feel like I’m sitting with a friend who’s giving me all the tea on the fragrances lol… this was helpful I really want to try Sublime now! Im not crazy about fruity scents but I think I would like it!
Thank you so so so much gorgeous! ❤ How stunning are you btw ❤❤❤ I have been reaching for sublime quite a lot as I also do not like fruity scents much since they can smell artificial very easily. This one however is syrupy and slightly boozy which attracted me to it
Hiyeee! I love your reviews and have bought several Middle Eastern fragrances based on them. Thank you! After watching this video and your review of Badee Al Oud Sublime, I actually went ahead and layered it with Lataffa’s Oud Mood and….OMG….its BEAUTIFUL! I can’t stop smelling it. You were right! The Oud and the vanilla that you get from Oud Mood goes beautifully with the fruity floral in Sublime. Thanks for the idea!
Heyaaaaa! Babe! Thank you for reminding me about that layering combo. I forgot about it lol. During the time I filmed at video, I was experimenting Oud Mood with just about everything lol ️♥️ Thanks my hun. Maybe I will try layering it with all the new fruity fragrances I have especially from Khadlaj ️♥️️♥️️♥️
Oooh, the summer list of Lattafas!! Thank you for another great video! Personally, I find your vidoes fun and your enthusiasm is contagious. Your expressions are priceless. I find myself laughing along with you while watching, too. 😘
Oii!!! Seus comentários são originais e ótimos justamente por essa razão. Nem tudo é agradável, mesmo que para outros seja. E você está emitindo sua opinião pessoal. Continue!!! Bjs!!!
Hola mi angel ❤ Gracias por esto. Significa mucho para mí. Me sentía un poco deprimido, pero luego pensé que uno nunca puede complacer a todos. Justo como dijiste. mucho amor para ti preciosa ❤❤❤
I’m watching this in winter, looking for spring/ summer perfumes for the upcoming season. I just want to say that I love your channel. I have bought several perfumes based on your reviews. Your passion is obvious and your descriptions are chef’s kiss. Thank you for all you do❤
I purchased Sutoor and Mazaji on the recommendation in this video. I love Mazaji, it’s a beautiful easy to wear floral. Sutoor on the other hand I cannot stomach at all! I should have watched your other videos about maceration and your 2023 perfume declutter before buying this because you concluded that Sutoor was not working for you and you indicated that you would be getting rid of it 😩 if only I had seen that video before buying! I really reallly realllly dislike Sutoor 😒
Oh nooooooo!!! Yea Sutoor really went south once it got older. The bitter powder smell was something I could not deal with. Initially it was so beautiful and airy. I'm so sorry you had to go through that 😢😢😢 Can I suggest you watch my videos backwards? Like new to old?
Nasheet is gorgeous. Indeed doesn't last much but I hope it will get better with time. I love Sutoor and yes, it smells like bitter peach, maybe a bit more masculine.
OMG! I am in love with Nasheet but I know it will finish real soon coz I keep spraying it again and again. I am finding Sutoor very powder. I think I need to let it sit for a bit. Was yours the same initially? ❤️
@@SiminShaikh yes, first I didn't like it. I put it in a closet for about two months and didn't know if I want to keep it or not. But last week I gave it another try and OMG I didn't wear anything else for three days. And I have over 100 fragrances.
I found your channel recently and your taste in perfumes is 100/10!!! I don’t get why anyone is leaving a negative comment. You put me on to so many new perfumes that I’ve never heard of! Thank you! P.s you are so beautiful! I love your makeup & outfits ❤️
I’m just discovering your channel/this video. Whoever said you infuriate them … they should stop watching. I think you’re lovely articulate and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for this video.
Oh no I had a tear in my eye when you mentioned a bad comment. I LOVE LOVE watching and listening to your fragrance descriptions and love your animation. How someone could say anything bad, well THAT’S infuriating. Please don’t change and ignore those that don’t appreciate your content.
@@beccaonlineclothing9250 yes at first spray it doesn’t last long after about week of sitting on my counter top , it gives me a good 4-5 hours moderate , projection is also moderate . I spray it on my hair and I can still smell it by the end of the day. One thing about Arab perfumes is somtimes u need to b patient and let it macerate.
Sublime definitely smells like Eden Juicy Apple. To my nose, Sublime is heavier and thicker like you shared. Eden is lighter and even more ‘summery’ in my opinion. I layered them the other day.
Honest and down to earth reviews. I am impressed. Please review Ahmed Perfumes KSA or Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes UAE. So far they haven't been reviewed by any lady. I want to purchase all their feminine perfumes but only after going through your true opinion on Ahmed Perfumes. Thanks.
Simin, I watch a lot of perfume content creators here on RUclips and you are one of my favorites! Pay no mind to negative people and comments, please continue to share your infectious personality and love of perfumery. It’s a pleasure to be here to watch you and I thank you for taking time out of your life to educate and engage with us on perfumes. Perfumes are also a passion of mine and not too many people I know share the same passion as me so I enjoy watching you because it does feel like we are sharing our love of perfumes together. 💕
I’m so happy I found your channel! I love how descriptive you are and the way you log your video times and links in your description box!! I have a question, for someone who really likes oud essential oils what middle eastern perfume for women would you recommend??
Thank you so so soooo much my hun ♥️ I hope you always enjoy my videos. If you like oils then Dhahnal Oud oil from Ajmal is pure Oud that you can layer with many perfumes. Mind you, it is veryyyyy strong! But if you want a casual Oud perfume I would recommend Oud Mood by Lattafa ♥️
I personally love Nasheet, but there seems to be a batch issue with this one. Several people described it as a lemon cake in the opening, sweet and citrusy, and I don't get that at all. Just like you, I get herbs, spices, incense and woods, and I have read other reviews just like that. I like it, probably because it is a bit weird und very unique, but there is no lemon cheesecake in there for me.
I blind bought Nasheet not even knowing how Ani smells😅 and I was pleasantly surprised. It is interesting perfume, as you said bit green, spicy vanilla and to me it smells niche for sure. Also just received Sublime from Lattaffa and it reminds me of other older frangrance Maboussin In Red!😊 Both are very affordable in Europe at the moment.
Oh gosh! I love Nasheet so much as well. But I dunno if |I am going anosmic to it or if it does not last. Coz after an hour I can barely smell it on myself. How has your experience been on the longevity? ❤ Much love to you babe xx
@@SiminShaikh I haven't tried it properly yet as I am using more summery perfumes at the moment! I have to give it a proper wear though soon and let you know!☺️ I hope it lasts long!!
And we enjoy your reviews, the animation keeps us coming back. By the way I really like frenetic delicieuse but yoooooo it gives me migraine, like immediate effect migraine. How do you find it. I now use it only on the wrists, I cant bring it any close to my nose... So sad because I like the smell... Again thank you for the review, I am now looking at my next buy... mazaaji
Heya ❤ gorgeous! I have still not Frenetic Delicieuse due to a shortage of AlHambra fragrances. The prices of the ones available are exorbitant. But heady perfumes give me migraines as well hehe. Mazaaji is just a very cool summer weirdo! And I love weirdos hehehee ❤
@SiminShaikh I'm sorry you had to experience negativity and attacks on your person, but - having experienced similar things - I actually feel very sorry for people like that. How unhappy and broken you must be if you use your energy to break down another? Someone who is, for crying out loud, reviewing fragrances out of a passion! Fragrances! We're not discussing religion or politics, which is bound to be incendiary (still shouldn't invite nastiness, but yeah...not everyone is as mature as I would hope). I'm really, really critical when it comes to reviewing, also because I've been a professional journalist (magazines predominantly) for almost 20yrs, of which I've been reviewing 5yrs full-time and the last 3 years part-time (novels, spiritual products, perfume, clothes). The fact I'm still a subscriber says enough. You've also just started and for someone who only just put her pretty face on camera you're doing really well. It's much harder than people think to speak comfortably, not to mention that describing perfume isn't easy either (at all! ). Can you imagine how knowledgeable and comfy you'll be in a year? I really appreciate that you name the perfume at the end of your description again, but if you're open to tips I would recommend a few things that'll help our memory when writing down tips, as well as will professionalise your reviews. Don't consider this criticism please, I would only like to help - and ignore if wanted 😅: 1. Do not check Fragantica for notes. They're just as often wrong as they're right. Parfumo.com has the correct ones, since they only post notes they can varify with the producer/brand. 2. I'd love to see the scent pyramid on screen. And it's even better if you tell us what YOU smelled note wise before you even check it against the written down pyramid. You'll train your nose extra. You're already telling us a bit what you do and don't smell based on the pyramid, but if you can expand on your own experiences that's great. I watch for *your* vision. 3. Naming brand+ name perfume on screen while talking about it, it's great. You have chapters in your video, that's always soooo helpful (many thanks), but that's an extra way to be clear. Especially for those who are writing things down. 2&3 are editing tricks, so I'm sure you can find tips online for that. 4. One of the most made mistakes by RUclips reviewers: spray on paper to smell a new fragrance. Unfortunately a perfume won't develop on paper as it should. While perfume creators initially drop oils on paper strips to mix top, heart and base notes to see if they match and what needs more, it was made for skin. We wear it on skin after all. You will get mostly topnotes on strips and the paper smell might influence as well. Therefore it isn't a decent first impression. 5. Besides, eventually I and many others also want to know about quality. Its it a skin scent? How is the projection? Longevity? Is the dry down very different from the opening or what one would expect from the pyramid? (NB. When giving info on projection and longevity always mention your skin type. Dry, oily? Perfume eating or does everything last long etc? ) 6. Your nose can't take more than 3 or 4 scents consecutively. Everything after that won't be smelled correctly. I definitely understand that you might be enthusiastic and want to show us new stuff directly, and also everything. That's okay. But if you want to give a 1st impression on paper, give us a test review a little later. So a skin update 😉. Also: if you do more than 3 fragrances in a row, stop the video, take a breath of fresh air and then continue after a few minutes. Yes, coffee grinds helps too, but fresh air works best with a little break. Okay, those were my tips and I think these will make your reviews extra amazing and useful. Don't let yourself be influenced by keyboard warriors and trolls. Like you said: don't like it? Find another channel. Your passion is not only relatable, but one of the reasons I watch you! Sooooo many fortune hunters on here, thinking they can make a quick buck by creating a channel and then droning on about something they're obviously NOT passionate about - which they've not researched and only just copied from others -, because they're not doing it for the right reasons. Or - which is sad for a different reason - they ARE, but just not have the capacity to convey it and say everything bone dry. Please do NOT change. You aren't childish AT ALL. From where I stand you're a beautiful soul who has found an anchor in fragrance and wants to share that. It is also the reason why I take the time to write this. (small bit of info about me: I'm chronically very ill and a lot of times I barely have the energy or mobility to eat - can't even cook, will eat medical liquids. The last 3 days I've had some kind of attack from my nervous system with burning pain, severe cramps, extreme headaches, paralysis, blindness, nausea, sweating etc... I've just gotten a bit better, saw your video despite still having a headache, muscle cramps and burning feet. But I wanted some happiness. I honestly missed over half because I'm not okay still, but will watch again.) But my point is: because I think you're worth my limited time I watched AND gave you a few tips based on my own experiences. As said: do with it what you will. It is *your* channel, not mine. If it helps, great! If it gives you inspiration to do sth that suits you more, also great. If you don't care for them, fine by me as well 😂. You didn't ask for them after all. But they're a few small tips for streamlining the channel. You really don't need much, the rest will come from your passion, your brain and the building knowledge. Btw: Have you ever tried Gulf Orchid and their subsidiary Maison Asrar? Is a relatively new brand that I'm very curious about. Same goes for Khadlaj, their original fragrances, not their dupes. I would also love to hear more about Arabiyat. I have Lamsat Harir and was pleasantly surprised. But now that I'm researching I see many more perfumes, but only Lamsat Harir is ever reviewed. Another four brands I never ever see reviewed on the Tube: Kalimat, Hamidi, Nusuk, Rihanah. Hamidi is a very cheap brand, Kalimat seems more luxe. Nusuk and Rihanah are in the 25 to 35 euro class in my country, but they're not sold by many shops. If you can manage to review some of them you'll be the only one on RUclips from what I've seen. Just an extra tip. I would do it myself, was planning on it, but I'm having to save up for a necessary, but expensive medical treatment that won't get reimbursed by my insurance 😢. No perfume for me for a long while unless it's from bday money in a few weeks. So basically you'll be helping me out, ha ha ha. (Edit: adjusted numbering in tips).
Babe ❤ I have tears in my eyes, I kid you not. Not because I am sad, but because I just read this very beautiful letter you sent my way ❤ First of all, I wish you the best in health and hope you overcome all the difficulties in your life. I cannot even imagine the pain you are in and no one can. It is your experience and it is unique to you. After you have healed and recovered, I hope you get to pursuit your best life and have only happiness come your way ❤❤❤ I hope you get to write and use your gifts to enlighten others. You have a light about you, that you don't even know. Its shining and I see it. I am sure many see it ❤ And I hope many get to see it. I cannot believe you took time out of you day and especially when you were unwell, its totally overwhelming my heart. You have made me look at myself and others differently. What a gift you have. Imagine if you were face to face with me ❤ There are days I cannot get out of bed due to the severity of the Fibromyalgia I suffer from. It is not even that serious but I know how helpless I feel. How I feel when the world is passing by while I lay passive. The feeling that I have so much to do, but I can barely move a finger. But at that time I remind myself, that nothing is permanent ❤ Life goes on and we are buy specs in a large universe. All we can do "Is our best". I am going to take each and every advise from you very seriously, because first off, you are a professional and secondly because it makes complete sense. I am so happy that you are helping me out. I am going to make this as a note and keep it front of me when I record next. Thank you for making my day and for perhaps being a pivotal experience in my life that will change my perspective for the better! ❤ Much love to you xx
@@SiminShaikh Your response made me smile widely. As I said in my message "You're a beautiful soul" and this proves it once again! When you're famous and getting paid by RUclips you can come visit me in The Netherlands for that face to face visit ;). First class flight of course so your muscles won't misbehave (Fibromyalgia is in my family, I have it too. It makes the treatment of other - especially the more complex - illnesses I have sadly even more difficult at times. It's terrible on its own, though if I could go back to the pain and limitations of having only FM, with which I was diagnosed age 20, I would in a heartbeat! Your hopes for me are sweet, but I'll never get better. Not even if treatments would be devised tomorrow. My body has sustained too much damage and some specialists are even surprised I'm still alive). Anyway, I'm happy you appreciate the few tips I sent your way. You could always give them your own twist if that feels better. Okay, have to go now. Medical appointment...ugh. At least I smell great 😆. Have a great day! Xx
It’s currently winter where I’m from and I can’t wait to buy summer scents. Would love to know other recommendations from other houses coz I think I already have a lot of Lattafa perfumes. I will be getting bade al oud and fakhar
Fakhar is so worth every penny! ❤ I am also kind of getting tired of just reviewing Lattafas. So hopefully some other brands will make an appearance soon 😂😂😂
So basically in the UAE, Maison Alhambra is not restocking since over a year now. That is why I never focused on these dupes you know. Lemme try and find some babe ❤️
Hi 👋 just curious to know if you have tried Sutoor for a test day wear. Any new thoughts on it? Or Mayar? Or any other ones you were still exploring to see how they performed. Thank you ! I’m so glad I found your channel - I love your wit and charming personality. Keep up the good work!
Our summer season is over nd We hv monsoon here in India. Make one video on that which fragrance is suitable for monsoon if possible 😂😂 Generally on YT people talk abt fall, winter nd summer season perfume only but wat about monsoon season perfume 🙄🥺😇🫰
I just know I can count on you to give me good ideas! 😂 Wow monsoon perfumes! I never thought of that. My brain is working on overdrive right now to figure out perfumes for Monsoon rains ❤❤❤
Love from Pakistan. You help me choosing the rose perfume for me. I am start developing my Arabic perfume collection. Please suggest me which one should I buy. I am looking for Arabic fresh floral perfume. Floral notes only. Should I buy valvet rose? Or fakhar al Arab lataffa
I got a really good deal on confidential. I did not expect to like it at all. I don’t have a lot of dupes. The ones I do have are mostly $1000 fragrances I cannot afford. But it was super cheap and I’m gonna be honest this smells so expensive to me. It smells just like all of the other angels knock offs. Decent longevity and I thought it was beautiful. Yeah you may have to spray it more frequently but for the money come on? It smells delicious. Somehow, that gold bottle do not look cheap shelves. Maybe give it another try another time. ❤❤❤ Screw those haters. We love you. See I can disagree with you and not be an ass! 💋
Estou a procura de um perfume para minha mãe e encintrei o seu canal. Parabens pelas explicações claras e objetivas. Conquistou um seguidor. Dessa lista qual voçê recomenda para uma senhora de 80 anos que mora em um clima quente e seco no Brasil? Obrigado.
Hola amor, En primer lugar, qué dulce eres al pensar en tu mamá. Creo que le encantará el Fakhar de Lattafa. Es para todas las edades, pero la mejor parte es que en climas cálidos y secos, será refrescante para ella. Déjame saber su reacción cuando lo huele. Mucho amor para ti y tu hermosa mamá ❤❤❤
Lattafa doing fragrance right. Reasonable prices with luxurious feel. ...liked in the 80s. They are liked Pokémon, collect them all.🤭 By the way haters are part of doing RUclips. They spice up your channel which is a good thing. Cheers.💚
I smell sweet pineapple with posh , mature rose plus some citruses to light it up, It reminds me Ellie Saab more than Coco M but very elegant scent, sophisticated , not young. I would maybe add something to make it more ''more cheerful'' ,not so serious, so it is not so linear, maybe warm sweet note in the base as well. Then IT WOULD BE PERFECT ! Still good everyday scent for elegant 30 plus and all year round scent, also formal occassions.
Thank you🥰🌺I got Mohra silk rose, getting compliments. I love it, some rose fragrances are very clawing for me, Mohra is beautiful 🥰🌺Trusting your nose, I just ordered nasheet, Sutoor, the frankincense in the Nasheet sounds really nice, I hope it’s strong
You are always welcome my hun ️♥️ Yesss that is exactly why I love the silky Rose coz the Fresh Litchi balances the Rose and it is oh so beautiful ️♥️ Nasheet is so unqiue, you are gonna love it! Ans Sutoor Seen is just stunning and womanly ️♥️
I got Mazaaji and I dont like it! The smell is sickening fruity lemon, it's very long lasting on skin. Fragrantica notes are a whack, thereis no rose or musk
Hello there! ❤ You are always fun to watch and the way you describe perfumes is spot on. I want to know if nasheet is office friendly. I have mohra the black bottle but it's too much, really mossy to my nose. Greetings!👋🫶🫶
Heya Hun ❤ Thank you so much for your kindness babe. Nasheet is 100% office friendly. It is super beautiful and you will get addicted to it. Lol. Yea a lot of the "traditional" perfumes have a lot of moss with woods and are only suitable for winter wear and veryyyyy ,oody ❤
I'm trying to decide between Mazaaji and Hamsa, they sound pretty similar on paper and I wonder if they're diferent enough to get both? Have you tried Hamsah?
I was looking for part two and realised you posted just few hours ago. I'm waiting to watch more videos of your's ❤️. New subscriber! You are so wholesome ✨✨
This review is right on time, you need like a light and not overpowering fragrance esp for uae summers… Kiyali wedding (white one) smelled good initially and then it’s not so good fades and smells stale lovely review Sim you are so awesome always! ❤
Thank you love ❤ Thanks for being one of my only friends who support me lol. Remember that ladies night we all went to? And we were collecting drinks on the table? 😂😂😂 Kayali in the dry down was sandalwood for me. But I had the sample decant and have not tried it in a full size yet ❤
Hi my hun, so sorry to hear about a nasty person. I love your videos because I love how you review these fragrances and love your personality and the fact that you are true to yourself and I just adore this 💜. It is lovely and refreshing to see a person who is genuine and talks with animation and passion so good on you ❤. A question if I may, I am tempted buying Sutoor as it saw it has similar note combinations as my favourite scent Opulent Red, even though this is more resinous and more aromatic and less floral , a touch more boozy perhaps ( although the cognac note is one I LOVE in Red) and more peachy and fruity. ( I know that my favourite is much disliked but on me it does smell divine and I do always get compliments when I wear it, perhaps it depends on your body chemistry as to why it smells nice to some and nasty to others. What do you think hun. Should I buy it? I seen a great deal at my online reliable perfume shop. Much love always, Tia 😻😘😻😽
Thank you my babe ❤ I need to be a bit stronger because sometimes I do let nasty comments affect me. I know I should not bother but sometimes I cannot help it. But those guys are like 00000.1% and the rest of this perfume community is truly so beautiful and special thank the light beats the darkness ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh My hun, I totally understand though how you react when someone makes a horrid comment, I have worked on various music channels and pages over the last 10 years and you would have to in human not to react in some way. But like you said it is 00000.1% and sadly there is always one nasty voice out there. But we love you and love your videos so never let them get you down. It is some sort of envy and jealousy. You are so lovely, so pretty, so warm and caring and passionate and that is such a wonderful thing in this world where there can be a lot of superficial things. I am not an aggressive person but I once told someone to "bite me" when they became nasty, never knew I had this side to me 🤣. It felt really good and never heard or seen this person again. I usually do not react but was in pain and reacted. Lots of love to you, my friend 😘😻😼
Love Nasheet!!!! Need a back up of it. Smells a lot like Ani but it is lighter (which is rarely the case with middle eastern perfumes) like you said. I’ve used a ton of my bottle in a month, even in the warmer weather. Ani is a perfume that felt like me immediately! It’s probably my favorite perfume ever!
Totally agree with you. Nasheet is wayyyyy lighter and I literally shower in it before heading out. But it is so friggin addictive that I will get a small bottle of Ani to add to my collection for sure ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh exactly! The Alexandria perfumes H’ani is amazing and stronger than Nasheet (but more expensive yet less than the real deal). I’m thinking for Christmas I’ll ask for a huge bottle of Ani. I’m absolutely in love with it.
Omg SAME! I bit the bullet and ordered Ani online for a nice price which I split into 4 payments with Afterpay just to soften the blow lol! But Ani is most definitely my absolute favorite perfume right now.. and possibly forever!
Came to your channel for Lattafa but subscribed because of you 🌺 Have you tried Lara? Very lovely summer Lattafa, and is one of the ones that gets better over time (smells kinda like Cheirosa 62)
Heya babe ❤ Thank you so so soooo much! I have not tried Lara but I am gonna be on it now hehe. Especially if it smells like Cheriosa 62 which is my all time fav gourmand ❤ ❤ ❤
Ignore the negative people boo. You do not need that kind of negativity around you. People can be mean and ignoring them is the best for you 😘
I know hun ❤ But sometimes I just irks me. Thanks for always supporting me in what I do
@@SiminShaikhufff, im sorry you have to experience that:(( Just think about their issues, they are unhealed souls, they can't spread love & light, never, PLS, never take serious what they are saying, if people be mean to such a gorgeous, bright, lovely woman/soul, it says so much about them and there can't be truth to it...🙏💪👌🤌💞💫
Your the best perfume reviewer. Ignore the negative Karen’s. Your amazing and I love your fits and your makeup. Especially the eyes.
Hehehe thank you so much hun ❤️ You all have made me face (or rather ignore) online bullies all together. Sending sooooo much love your way babe ❤️❤️❤️
I don't care to comment often unless I have something to say, but if there's one thing I can hopefully do for not much effort is to wish you well and let you know you're doing a great job. I think you explain and compare perfumes so well and it's your opinion and it should be respected. You seem like a lovely person so please don't let other people get you down. Hope you feel better ^_^
Thanks for that my hun! I will try and focus on the positive going forth ❤❤❤
I love your reviews, and you have such a great way of describing these fragrances to the point that I feel comfortable blind buying!
Oh bless thank you so much. It is very weird but such positive comments really cheers me on. Thank you for taking time and making me feel good ❤
I appreciate your videos and trust your opinions! Anyone who is not a fan, you know what they say, you could be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there will still be people who don't like peaches.
I really appreciate your videos ❤️
First off, how friggin gorgeous are you!!! ❤️
Thank you for the kind words babe. In a perfect world, everyone would speak kindly or not at all. Sadly we do not live in a perfect world. Maybe Elon Musk's Mars program will help us all 😂😂😂
First let me say you look like a ray of sunshine. Sometime people need to keep their stupid ignorant comments to themselves period. My dear you have the right to describe a fragrance any way you want it's your channel. Keep being you I love your channel, and videos 💜
Thank you soooooo much babe! I don't mind constructive criticism but blatant insults are just hurtful even to the strongest of people. I feel so happy that you guys have my back ❤ Love you loads! ❤❤❤
She's right, you're great
Love your videos and the way you carry yourself in them. Don’t change one bit!
I love you babe 🥲 Thank you so so soooo much ❤ ❤ ❤
Simin don't pay attention to the negative comments. I, for one, adore your videos and I like how animated you get about perfumes because I'm just like you. Those people are miserable and just looking for company. Don't join them
Thank you so much my beautiful hun! You are so right! ❤❤❤ I had not deleted the comments before and I would keep seeing them on my YT dashboard. I deleted them for my peace of mind ❤❤❤ Much love to you for taking time and addressing this to me xx
I love your videos, Sim! It was an instant subscribe for me from the first one I found. You talk so much more in depth about perfumes from the Middle East than other channels, and that’s exactly the kind of information I need! Thank you!
Thank you so my gorgeous hun! I am still learning so many things about perfumes. But hopefully in a year your girl Sim will be a perfume pro! Hehe ❤❤❤
You’re one of the best reviewers here and you’re one of the very few which shares my sense of smell and you’ve been spot on about all of them. So thank you!! 😊
I wear tamima a lot. I love it. It smells just like imperatrice and bombshell. It's non offensive great for summer.
Heya!!! My Tamima is macerating now. Hopefully it will feel less artificial to me soon. Much love to you babe xx
I fell in love with Lattafa totally, no other designers interest me anymore.
I know exactly what you mean. Lattafa in perfumes is what "The Ordinary" is for skincare ❤
Can you please do a video about the best Middle Eastern fragrances that do NOT have oud in them. I am finding that note to be too much these days. Sometimes I just need a smooth blend without any oud 😫
Heya hun! ❤❤❤ I had done a series before but I need to do an updated one as I have tons of Oudless suggestions for you. Your wish is my command ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh 😃 THANK YOU!! ♡
Thank you so much. I was on the lookout for some summer fragrances for weeks now. I hope there's more😂on your page as well. I love your videos so much.❤
I love the way u spray perfume on scarf as a tester. Great idea!
Thanks 4 bringing forth the new fragrances. Love your bubbly personality ❤
Thank you so much gorgeous ❤ ❤ ❤ Do let me know if you would like me to review any specific Mid East Fragrance
@SiminShaikh I'm fine watching and your hitting all the fragrances I need to know about
When a hater unloads that way, it’s because there’s something negative or missing in them not in you! Even when you’re animated you’re always lovely and graceful, it makes you very comforting to watch! I especially love your nail polish color on this video. I wanted to comment asking the shade before I heard about the hater. I really love my Lattafas and I appreciate your advice to help my collecting. ❤
Thank you my sweetheart! ❤ New day, new lesson. I will try and not take such comments to heart. Thank you for your kind words and making me feel better babe. The shade was from the salon, I will find out the number next time i visit them
@@SiminShaikh You’re too sweet! I love coral and pink nail colors, they always look so fresh. I also think you should maybe consider a makeup tutorial because I love the way you wear your eye makeup! So classy! Blessings!
Linda,muy buena e interesantes tus reseñas,tengo el fakar de lattafa y me encanto
Yeeey, thanks much Simin for showing the summer scents. I love fresh and cool scents, I wish you included the pineapple scents as tropical/summery fragrances. Came across your channel 2days ago and I cant stop watching now! I actually ordered my 2nd batch of perfumes after watching your videos. You're literally my guide in having middle eastern fragrances, you are like a fairy godmother lol! The moment you said you love rose+oud combination on one of your videos, Im like, "I trust her" coz I love rose oud too after sniffing the Jo Malone velvet rose and oud sample. And so Im extremely happy you showed also rose and oud arabic perfumes and no less than 30mins, I ordered online!
#HandsOffTheLeaderOfTheSquad if a person doesnt like the way you do reviews there are so many people doing perfume reviews. Im sure they can find someone that leans their way. As for infuriating 😕 that is weird.
I am taking down so many perfumes to blind buy because I trust you like that.
Remember "Opinions are not facts,take them in and let them go" ❤
Love❤❤
All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦❤
Hehehee aww bless. You made me smile babe ❤️❤️❤️ I have made note of your second para in my notes on the phone. I will read it out loud every time I feel let down.
Thank you for taking time and writing this for me xx Much much love to you all the way from Dubai xo xo xo
You’re so beautiful and I love your descriptions of the fragrances. I find your videos very helpful. I just found your channel and subscribed. ❤
Thank you so much my beautiful hun ❤ I hope you find good people in this community to share your experiences with xo
Why I love your channel is your charismatic way of expressing your opinions! Don't let the jealous people get to you. What I like is your directness. I do not like when someone is afraid to give a true review in a negative way because they have fear of comments or losing the ability to get PR. Thank you Sim for being you.
Thank you so much for telling us the what the names mean!
I enjoy your reviews, I feel like I’m sitting with a friend who’s giving me all the tea on the fragrances lol… this was helpful
I really want to try Sublime now! Im not crazy about fruity scents but I think I would like it!
Thank you so so so much gorgeous! ❤ How stunning are you btw ❤❤❤ I have been reaching for sublime quite a lot as I also do not like fruity scents much since they can smell artificial very easily. This one however is syrupy and slightly boozy which attracted me to it
Hiyeee! I love your reviews and have bought several Middle Eastern fragrances based on them. Thank you! After watching this video and your review of Badee Al Oud Sublime, I actually went ahead and layered it with Lataffa’s Oud Mood and….OMG….its BEAUTIFUL! I can’t stop smelling it. You were right! The Oud and the vanilla that you get from Oud Mood goes beautifully with the fruity floral in Sublime. Thanks for the idea!
Heyaaaaa!
Babe! Thank you for reminding me about that layering combo. I forgot about it lol. During the time I filmed at video, I was experimenting Oud Mood with just about everything lol ️♥️
Thanks my hun. Maybe I will try layering it with all the new fruity fragrances I have especially from Khadlaj ️♥️️♥️️♥️
You’re so beautiful! I love your videos! I just got introduced to these perfumes and I been loving them and telling people about it! Thank you
Oooh, the summer list of Lattafas!! Thank you for another great video!
Personally, I find your vidoes fun and your enthusiasm is contagious. Your expressions are priceless. I find myself laughing along with you while watching, too. 😘
Kelllyyyyy! ❤ ❤ ❤
I missed you hun ❤ Thank you so much for being there and liking my videos babe ❤ 😘
@@SiminShaikh Always! I don't always have anything very interesting to say but I try. 😄
Oii!!! Seus comentários são originais e ótimos justamente por essa razão. Nem tudo é agradável, mesmo que para outros seja. E você está emitindo sua opinião pessoal. Continue!!! Bjs!!!
Hola mi angel ❤ Gracias por esto. Significa mucho para mí. Me sentía un poco deprimido, pero luego pensé que uno nunca puede complacer a todos. Justo como dijiste. mucho amor para ti preciosa ❤❤❤
I’m watching this in winter, looking for spring/ summer perfumes for the upcoming season. I just want to say that I love your channel. I have bought several perfumes based on your reviews. Your passion is obvious and your descriptions are chef’s kiss. Thank you for all you do❤
I love your videos Sim you shouldn't even bother reading any negative comments. You're a breath of fresh air xx❤
You are an absolute delight! Not only do I love your reviews but your personality as well, Like a ray of sunshine!
I purchased Sutoor and Mazaji on the recommendation in this video. I love Mazaji, it’s a beautiful easy to wear floral. Sutoor on the other hand I cannot stomach at all! I should have watched your other videos about maceration and your 2023 perfume declutter before buying this because you concluded that Sutoor was not working for you and you indicated that you would be getting rid of it 😩 if only I had seen that video before buying! I really reallly realllly dislike Sutoor 😒
Oh nooooooo!!! Yea Sutoor really went south once it got older. The bitter powder smell was something I could not deal with. Initially it was so beautiful and airy. I'm so sorry you had to go through that 😢😢😢 Can I suggest you watch my videos backwards? Like new to old?
Yes I plan to watch as many as I can because our taste seems similar and you are lovely to watch!
A adore your reviews and reactions. It’s authentic and fun!
Thank you so much my gorgeous hun ❤ It is so much easier to film myself if I dont have to pretend you know ❤
Nasheet is gorgeous. Indeed doesn't last much but I hope it will get better with time. I love Sutoor and yes, it smells like bitter peach, maybe a bit more masculine.
OMG! I am in love with Nasheet but I know it will finish real soon coz I keep spraying it again and again. I am finding Sutoor very powder. I think I need to let it sit for a bit. Was yours the same initially? ❤️
@@SiminShaikh yes, first I didn't like it. I put it in a closet for about two months and didn't know if I want to keep it or not. But last week I gave it another try and OMG I didn't wear anything else for three days. And I have over 100 fragrances.
I found your channel recently and your taste in perfumes is 100/10!!! I don’t get why anyone is leaving a negative comment. You put me on to so many new perfumes that I’ve never heard of! Thank you! P.s you are so beautiful! I love your makeup & outfits ❤️
Luv ❤ur personality that is what made me subscribe, great and honest reviews, shout out from Canada 🇨🇦!!!
Thank you so much hun 🤗 Sending loads of love and good vibes to you all the way from Dubai to Canada ❤❤❤
I’m just discovering your channel/this video. Whoever said you infuriate them … they should stop watching. I think you’re lovely articulate and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for this video.
If someone get infuriated by a RUclips video THEY got problems LOL 😆 😂 🤣 😅 .
I know right?! I was like "whaaaaaaa....?" Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Oh no I had a tear in my eye when you mentioned a bad comment. I LOVE LOVE watching and listening to your fragrance descriptions and love your animation. How someone could say anything bad, well THAT’S infuriating. Please don’t change and ignore those that don’t appreciate your content.
Lovely review i enjoy watching your reviews greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you my gorgeous hun. I hope these help you in your summer picks ❤
I have nasheet it’s smells expensive. Decent projection prob 5 hours max . People keep asking me what perfume I’m using
Nasheet is an absolutely love at first sniff. I was soooooo stunned when I first smelled it. And now, it is an addiction ❤❤❤
I can hardly smell mine after an hour. Do you think i just need to let the perfume rest some more?
@@beccaonlineclothing9250 yes at first spray it doesn’t last long after about week of sitting on my counter top , it gives me a good 4-5 hours moderate , projection is also moderate . I spray it on my hair and I can still smell it by the end of the day. One thing about Arab perfumes is somtimes u need to b patient and let it macerate.
I love how animated and quirky you are! Your imagination is wonderful to listen to!!
Hehehe thanks hun ❤ As long as you can relate to what I am trying to communicate. I hope to always keep you entertained ❤ ❤ ❤
We love you, beautiful angel🥰🥰🌺just got my mazaaji, it is absolutely beautiful, different scent, high quality smell
Sublime definitely smells like Eden Juicy Apple. To my nose, Sublime is heavier and thicker like you shared. Eden is lighter and even more ‘summery’ in my opinion. I layered them the other day.
Oh no why did I not think of layering the lol. Thanks for the tip babe ❤ ❤ ❤
Simin, I think your videos are fun and informative, and your reactions are delightful. :)
you're so good at explaining perfumes, you're so beautiful also💕
Thank you for your kindness my hun ❤ I will always try and bring you quality content ❤❤❤ Much love to you ❤
Hi😊I have and love Tharwah Gold and Mazzaji 🙂 You are wonderful person❤Big hug
Heya love ❤ Ooooooh my two favs as well. Mazaaji is so unique ❤ Big Hug back you xo
@@SiminShaikh 😁
Honest and down to earth reviews. I am impressed. Please review Ahmed Perfumes KSA or Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes UAE. So far they haven't been reviewed by any lady. I want to purchase all their feminine perfumes but only after going through your true opinion on Ahmed Perfumes. Thanks.
You don't infuriate me. Your demeanor is very cheerful. I enjoy you a lot. Keep up the good work !!
Simin, I watch a lot of perfume content creators here on RUclips and you are one of my favorites! Pay no mind to negative people and comments, please continue to share your infectious personality and love of perfumery. It’s a pleasure to be here to watch you and I thank you for taking time out of your life to educate and engage with us on perfumes. Perfumes are also a passion of mine and not too many people I know share the same passion as me so I enjoy watching you because it does feel like we are sharing our love of perfumes together. 💕
I love your honest reviews. Thanks for the content!
Always my Hun! I hope to always give you the best and honest reviews in the future! Thank you for all the support in helping my channel grow ❤
Hello...simin..can you plz recommend lataffa perfumes for like a special occasion or an event?
I’m so happy I found your channel! I love how descriptive you are and the way you log your video times and links in your description box!!
I have a question, for someone who really likes oud essential oils what middle eastern perfume for women would you recommend??
Thank you so so soooo much my hun ♥️
I hope you always enjoy my videos. If you like oils then Dhahnal Oud oil from Ajmal is pure Oud that you can layer with many perfumes. Mind you, it is veryyyyy strong! But if you want a casual Oud perfume I would recommend Oud Mood by Lattafa ♥️
I personally love Nasheet, but there seems to be a batch issue with this one. Several people described it as a lemon cake in the opening, sweet and citrusy, and I don't get that at all. Just like you, I get herbs, spices, incense and woods, and I have read other reviews just like that. I like it, probably because it is a bit weird und very unique, but there is no lemon cheesecake in there for me.
I love your way of describing scents
Thank you my hun! I really try hard to communicate through the screen you know ❤
I had to subscribe since we have similar tastes in Lattafa scents😂Now I have to add more perfumes to my collection before the prices skyrocket
Hehehe I feel you hun 😂❤
Lattafa perfumes are out doing themselves
I blind bought Nasheet not even knowing how Ani smells😅 and I was pleasantly surprised. It is interesting perfume, as you said bit green, spicy vanilla and to me it smells niche for sure. Also just received Sublime from Lattaffa and it reminds me of other older frangrance Maboussin In Red!😊 Both are very affordable in Europe at the moment.
Oh gosh! I love Nasheet so much as well. But I dunno if |I am going anosmic to it or if it does not last. Coz after an hour I can barely smell it on myself. How has your experience been on the longevity? ❤ Much love to you babe xx
@@SiminShaikh I haven't tried it properly yet as I am using more summery perfumes at the moment! I have to give it a proper wear though soon and let you know!☺️ I hope it lasts long!!
Thanks love ❤
And we enjoy your reviews, the animation keeps us coming back. By the way I really like frenetic delicieuse but yoooooo it gives me migraine, like immediate effect migraine. How do you find it. I now use it only on the wrists, I cant bring it any close to my nose... So sad because I like the smell... Again thank you for the review, I am now looking at my next buy... mazaaji
Heya ❤ gorgeous! I have still not Frenetic Delicieuse due to a shortage of AlHambra fragrances. The prices of the ones available are exorbitant. But heady perfumes give me migraines as well hehe. Mazaaji is just a very cool summer weirdo! And I love weirdos hehehee ❤
@@SiminShaikh I have to try mazaaji as I don't have a summer scent. Thank you again💜
I'm going to blind buy the nasheet anyway 😅❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I did the same! I’m not scared! 😂
Yeah I love d Tamina bottle as well n if it also smells like D&G's 3 l'impeatrice, lovely... 😍
Hehe yea it is super close to it ❤ Plus the price is so reasonable 😍😍😍
i just hate oud perfumes. dnt know why. but i just hate.
I just ordered Sublime and I love the Kayali perfume Juicy Apple, but it lasts 20 min!!!
Ohno. Let it macerate babe. Mine lasts very well. And it gets thicker if you know what I men ❤
Красивая женщина, жалко я вашего языка не знаю 🤷
How long did u let Fakhar Rose macerate? I'm just starting my collection of Lattafa and Fakhar Rose is my first full bottle. I love it so much!
Hey my Hun ❤️
I barely macerated it. It came all white floral pretty and ready to use. I love it! ❤️❤️❤️
@SiminShaikh I'm sorry you had to experience negativity and attacks on your person, but - having experienced similar things - I actually feel very sorry for people like that. How unhappy and broken you must be if you use your energy to break down another? Someone who is, for crying out loud, reviewing fragrances out of a passion! Fragrances! We're not discussing religion or politics, which is bound to be incendiary (still shouldn't invite nastiness, but yeah...not everyone is as mature as I would hope).
I'm really, really critical when it comes to reviewing, also because I've been a professional journalist (magazines predominantly) for almost 20yrs, of which I've been reviewing 5yrs full-time and the last 3 years part-time (novels, spiritual products, perfume, clothes). The fact I'm still a subscriber says enough. You've also just started and for someone who only just put her pretty face on camera you're doing really well. It's much harder than people think to speak comfortably, not to mention that describing perfume isn't easy either (at all! ). Can you imagine how knowledgeable and comfy you'll be in a year? I really appreciate that you name the perfume at the end of your description again, but if you're open to tips I would recommend a few things that'll help our memory when writing down tips, as well as will professionalise your reviews. Don't consider this criticism please, I would only like to help - and ignore if wanted 😅:
1. Do not check Fragantica for notes. They're just as often wrong as they're right. Parfumo.com has the correct ones, since they only post notes they can varify with the producer/brand.
2. I'd love to see the scent pyramid on screen. And it's even better if you tell us what YOU smelled note wise before you even check it against the written down pyramid. You'll train your nose extra. You're already telling us a bit what you do and don't smell based on the pyramid, but if you can expand on your own experiences that's great. I watch for *your* vision.
3. Naming brand+ name perfume on screen while talking about it, it's great. You have chapters in your video, that's always soooo helpful (many thanks), but that's an extra way to be clear. Especially for those who are writing things down. 2&3 are editing tricks, so I'm sure you can find tips online for that.
4. One of the most made mistakes by RUclips reviewers: spray on paper to smell a new fragrance. Unfortunately a perfume won't develop on paper as it should. While perfume creators initially drop oils on paper strips to mix top, heart and base notes to see if they match and what needs more, it was made for skin. We wear it on skin after all. You will get mostly topnotes on strips and the paper smell might influence as well. Therefore it isn't a decent first impression.
5. Besides, eventually I and many others also want to know about quality. Its it a skin scent? How is the projection? Longevity? Is the dry down very different from the opening or what one would expect from the pyramid? (NB. When giving info on projection and longevity always mention your skin type. Dry, oily? Perfume eating or does everything last long etc? )
6. Your nose can't take more than 3 or 4 scents consecutively. Everything after that won't be smelled correctly. I definitely understand that you might be enthusiastic and want to show us new stuff directly, and also everything. That's okay. But if you want to give a 1st impression on paper, give us a test review a little later. So a skin update 😉. Also: if you do more than 3 fragrances in a row, stop the video, take a breath of fresh air and then continue after a few minutes. Yes, coffee grinds helps too, but fresh air works best with a little break.
Okay, those were my tips and I think these will make your reviews extra amazing and useful.
Don't let yourself be influenced by keyboard warriors and trolls. Like you said: don't like it? Find another channel.
Your passion is not only relatable, but one of the reasons I watch you! Sooooo many fortune hunters on here, thinking they can make a quick buck by creating a channel and then droning on about something they're obviously NOT passionate about - which they've not researched and only just copied from others -, because they're not doing it for the right reasons. Or - which is sad for a different reason - they ARE, but just not have the capacity to convey it and say everything bone dry. Please do NOT change. You aren't childish AT ALL. From where I stand you're a beautiful soul who has found an anchor in fragrance and wants to share that. It is also the reason why I take the time to write this.
(small bit of info about me: I'm chronically very ill and a lot of times I barely have the energy or mobility to eat - can't even cook, will eat medical liquids. The last 3 days I've had some kind of attack from my nervous system with burning pain, severe cramps, extreme headaches, paralysis, blindness, nausea, sweating etc... I've just gotten a bit better, saw your video despite still having a headache, muscle cramps and burning feet. But I wanted some happiness. I honestly missed over half because I'm not okay still, but will watch again.)
But my point is: because I think you're worth my limited time I watched AND gave you a few tips based on my own experiences. As said: do with it what you will. It is *your* channel, not mine. If it helps, great! If it gives you inspiration to do sth that suits you more, also great. If you don't care for them, fine by me as well 😂. You didn't ask for them after all. But they're a few small tips for streamlining the channel. You really don't need much, the rest will come from your passion, your brain and the building knowledge.
Btw: Have you ever tried Gulf Orchid and their subsidiary Maison Asrar? Is a relatively new brand that I'm very curious about. Same goes for Khadlaj, their original fragrances, not their dupes. I would also love to hear more about Arabiyat. I have Lamsat Harir and was pleasantly surprised. But now that I'm researching I see many more perfumes, but only Lamsat Harir is ever reviewed. Another four brands I never ever see reviewed on the Tube: Kalimat, Hamidi, Nusuk, Rihanah. Hamidi is a very cheap brand, Kalimat seems more luxe. Nusuk and Rihanah are in the 25 to 35 euro class in my country, but they're not sold by many shops. If you can manage to review some of them you'll be the only one on RUclips from what I've seen. Just an extra tip. I would do it myself, was planning on it, but I'm having to save up for a necessary, but expensive medical treatment that won't get reimbursed by my insurance 😢. No perfume for me for a long while unless it's from bday money in a few weeks. So basically you'll be helping me out, ha ha ha.
(Edit: adjusted numbering in tips).
Babe ❤
I have tears in my eyes, I kid you not. Not because I am sad, but because I just read this very beautiful letter you sent my way ❤
First of all, I wish you the best in health and hope you overcome all the difficulties in your life. I cannot even imagine the pain you are in and no one can. It is your experience and it is unique to you. After you have healed and recovered, I hope you get to pursuit your best life and have only happiness come your way ❤❤❤ I hope you get to write and use your gifts to enlighten others. You have a light about you, that you don't even know. Its shining and I see it. I am sure many see it ❤ And I hope many get to see it.
I cannot believe you took time out of you day and especially when you were unwell, its totally overwhelming my heart. You have made me look at myself and others differently. What a gift you have. Imagine if you were face to face with me ❤
There are days I cannot get out of bed due to the severity of the Fibromyalgia I suffer from. It is not even that serious but I know how helpless I feel. How I feel when the world is passing by while I lay passive. The feeling that I have so much to do, but I can barely move a finger. But at that time I remind myself, that nothing is permanent ❤ Life goes on and we are buy specs in a large universe. All we can do "Is our best".
I am going to take each and every advise from you very seriously, because first off, you are a professional and secondly because it makes complete sense. I am so happy that you are helping me out. I am going to make this as a note and keep it front of me when I record next.
Thank you for making my day and for perhaps being a pivotal experience in my life that will change my perspective for the better! ❤
Much love to you xx
@@SiminShaikh Your response made me smile widely. As I said in my message "You're a beautiful soul" and this proves it once again!
When you're famous and getting paid by RUclips you can come visit me in The Netherlands for that face to face visit ;).
First class flight of course so your muscles won't misbehave (Fibromyalgia is in my family, I have it too. It makes the treatment of other - especially the more complex - illnesses I have sadly even more difficult at times. It's terrible on its own, though if I could go back to the pain and limitations of having only FM, with which I was diagnosed age 20, I would in a heartbeat! Your hopes for me are sweet, but I'll never get better. Not even if treatments would be devised tomorrow. My body has sustained too much damage and some specialists are even surprised I'm still alive).
Anyway, I'm happy you appreciate the few tips I sent your way. You could always give them your own twist if that feels better.
Okay, have to go now. Medical appointment...ugh.
At least I smell great 😆.
Have a great day! Xx
It’s currently winter where I’m from and I can’t wait to buy summer scents.
Would love to know other recommendations from other houses coz I think I already have a lot of Lattafa perfumes. I will be getting bade al oud and fakhar
Fakhar is so worth every penny! ❤ I am also kind of getting tired of just reviewing Lattafas. So hopefully some other brands will make an appearance soon 😂😂😂
You are so decent ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you my Angel ♥️
I wonder why noone is reviewing the chants tenderina from Lataffa. It is suposed to be a dupe for chanel eau tendre.Did you try that one yet?
So basically in the UAE, Maison Alhambra is not restocking since over a year now. That is why I never focused on these dupes you know. Lemme try and find some babe ❤️
Hi 👋 just curious to know if you have tried Sutoor for a test day wear. Any new thoughts on it? Or Mayar? Or any other ones you were still exploring to see how they performed. Thank you ! I’m so glad I found your channel - I love your wit and charming personality. Keep up the good work!
Heya Hun!
I am so glad you reminded me. I left them to macerate but I will do a wear test again to see if they have changed or got better ❤️
Our summer season is over nd We hv monsoon here in India. Make one video on that which fragrance is suitable for monsoon if possible 😂😂 Generally on YT people talk abt fall, winter nd summer season perfume only but wat about monsoon season perfume 🙄🥺😇🫰
I just know I can count on you to give me good ideas! 😂 Wow monsoon perfumes! I never thought of that. My brain is working on overdrive right now to figure out perfumes for Monsoon rains ❤❤❤
I love watching your videos . I often make purchase perfumes you review. Much love from Washington,Dc
Much love to you hun ♥️ Thank you for taking time and appreciating my review. I hope I keep you informed and entertained always 🫶🏻💕
omg boo she has no sense of humor its great you have fun with the reaction you give thanks again for the WONDERFUL CONTENT
Thank you so much my lovely Angel ❤ The fault was mine. I should have never let it bother me Lol. Sending so much love and light your way ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh this is true it bothered us all i hope you used the BLOCK BUTTON...
hehe I shall do that now ❤
Love from Pakistan. You help me choosing the rose perfume for me. I am start developing my Arabic perfume collection. Please suggest me which one should I buy. I am looking for Arabic fresh floral perfume. Floral notes only. Should I buy valvet rose? Or fakhar al Arab lataffa
I got a really good deal on confidential. I did not expect to like it at all. I don’t have a lot of dupes. The ones I do have are mostly $1000 fragrances I cannot afford.
But it was super cheap and I’m gonna be honest this smells so expensive to me. It smells just like all of the other angels knock offs. Decent longevity and I thought it was beautiful. Yeah you may have to spray it more frequently but for the money come on? It smells delicious.
Somehow, that gold bottle do not look cheap shelves. Maybe give it another try another time.
❤❤❤
Screw those haters. We love you.
See I can disagree with you and not be an ass! 💋
Mayar smells like Angel Nova
My Mazaaji has been macerating for a longtime now. I will try it again and let you know. I never liked confidential as well. Cheap watered perfume 😂
Please let me know hun ❤ Yea Confidential was a real bummer to me too 😂😂😂
Estou a procura de um perfume para minha mãe e encintrei o seu canal. Parabens pelas explicações claras e objetivas. Conquistou um seguidor.
Dessa lista qual voçê recomenda para uma senhora de 80 anos que mora em um clima quente e seco no Brasil? Obrigado.
Hola amor,
En primer lugar, qué dulce eres al pensar en tu mamá. Creo que le encantará el Fakhar de Lattafa. Es para todas las edades, pero la mejor parte es que en climas cálidos y secos, será refrescante para ella. Déjame saber su reacción cuando lo huele. Mucho amor para ti y tu hermosa mamá ❤❤❤
Lattafa doing fragrance right. Reasonable prices with luxurious feel. ...liked in the 80s. They are liked Pokémon, collect them all.🤭 By the way haters are part of doing RUclips. They spice up your channel which is a good thing. Cheers.💚
I smell sweet pineapple with posh , mature rose plus some citruses to light it up, It reminds me Ellie Saab more than Coco M but very elegant scent, sophisticated , not young. I would maybe add something to make it more ''more cheerful'' ,not so serious, so it is not so linear, maybe warm sweet note in the base as well. Then IT WOULD BE PERFECT ! Still good everyday scent for elegant 30 plus and all year round scent, also formal occassions.
I love your videos! Keep being as animated as possible!
Thank you🥰🌺I got Mohra silk rose, getting compliments. I love it, some rose fragrances are very clawing for me, Mohra is beautiful 🥰🌺Trusting your nose, I just ordered nasheet, Sutoor, the frankincense in the Nasheet sounds really nice, I hope it’s strong
You are always welcome my hun ️♥️ Yesss that is exactly why I love the silky Rose coz the Fresh Litchi balances the Rose and it is oh so beautiful ️♥️ Nasheet is so unqiue, you are gonna love it! Ans Sutoor Seen is just stunning and womanly ️♥️
@@SiminShaikh thank you🥰
I got Mazaaji and I dont like it! The smell is sickening fruity lemon, it's very long lasting on skin. Fragrantica notes are a whack, thereis no rose or musk
Hello there! ❤ You are always fun to watch and the way you describe perfumes is spot on. I want to know if nasheet is office friendly. I have mohra the black bottle but it's too much, really mossy to my nose.
Greetings!👋🫶🫶
Heya Hun ❤
Thank you so much for your kindness babe.
Nasheet is 100% office friendly. It is super beautiful and you will get addicted to it. Lol.
Yea a lot of the "traditional" perfumes have a lot of moss with woods and are only suitable for winter wear and veryyyyy ,oody ❤
Thanks a lot 💓. Appreciate your help 🙏 😊 😇
I'm trying to decide between Mazaaji and Hamsa, they sound pretty similar on paper and I wonder if they're diferent enough to get both? Have you tried Hamsah?
Hey my Hun. Unfortunately not. Which brand is it from?
@@SiminShaikh Hamsah is from Swiss Arabian :)
I was looking for part two and realised you posted just few hours ago. I'm waiting to watch more videos of your's ❤️. New subscriber! You are so wholesome ✨✨
Yayyyyy! New friend in our fragrance community!!! Welcome hun and I hope I can keep you entertained forever ❤ Much love to you xx
This review is right on time, you need like a light and not overpowering fragrance esp for uae summers…
Kiyali wedding (white one) smelled good initially and then it’s not so good fades and smells stale
lovely review Sim you are so awesome always! ❤
Thank you love ❤ Thanks for being one of my only friends who support me lol. Remember that ladies night we all went to? And we were collecting drinks on the table? 😂😂😂
Kayali in the dry down was sandalwood for me. But I had the sample decant and have not tried it in a full size yet ❤
Nasheet is my FAVORITE,. I can’t put it down lol I literally could buy 100 bottles so I never run out.
New to your channel. I’m excited to learn about Arab fragrance ❤
Heya hun ❤ Welcome to the fragrance community. I hope to always bring you quality content that you will enjoy.
omg its so beautiful thanks sim i ffinally got it today i love you and continue too bring the WONDERFUL CONTENT im late but i want too👍👍...
The Tamima bottle is beautiful. Dark and rich, unlike the light and fresh juice inside.
You know just be you --- i came to your channel first time ...grateful for the info
Thank you my gorgeous babe ❤❤❤
Hi my hun, so sorry to hear about a nasty person. I love your videos because I love how you review these fragrances and love your personality and the fact that you are true to yourself and I just adore this 💜. It is lovely and refreshing to see a person who is genuine and talks with animation and passion so good on you ❤. A question if I may, I am tempted buying Sutoor as it saw it has similar note combinations as my favourite scent Opulent Red, even though this is more resinous and more aromatic and less floral , a touch more boozy perhaps ( although the cognac note is one I LOVE in Red) and more peachy and fruity. ( I know that my favourite is much disliked but on me it does smell divine and I do always get compliments when I wear it, perhaps it depends on your body chemistry as to why it smells nice to some and nasty to others. What do you think hun. Should I buy it? I seen a great deal at my online reliable perfume shop. Much love always, Tia 😻😘😻😽
Thank you my babe ❤ I need to be a bit stronger because sometimes I do let nasty comments affect me. I know I should not bother but sometimes I cannot help it. But those guys are like 00000.1% and the rest of this perfume community is truly so beautiful and special thank the light beats the darkness ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh My hun, I totally understand though how you react when someone makes a horrid comment, I have worked on various music channels and pages over the last 10 years and you would have to in human not to react in some way. But like you said it is 00000.1% and sadly there is always one nasty voice out there. But we love you and love your videos so never let them get you down. It is some sort of envy and jealousy. You are so lovely, so pretty, so warm and caring and passionate and that is such a wonderful thing in this world where there can be a lot of superficial things. I am not an aggressive person but I once told someone to "bite me" when they became nasty, never knew I had this side to me 🤣. It felt really good and never heard or seen this person again. I usually do not react but was in pain and reacted. Lots of love to you, my friend 😘😻😼
Maison Al Hambra Karat is also a supposed dupe for Kirke. I would assume it might be better than Confidential Gold ? 😊 i wonder if youve smelt it 😊
The only perfume from your list i have are waazer and nasheet. Nasheet is my signuture scent and i love it❤ on my skin it last long 😊
You are so cutee
Aww bless. Much love to you from Dubai babe ❤️
Love Nasheet!!!! Need a back up of it. Smells a lot like Ani but it is lighter (which is rarely the case with middle eastern perfumes) like you said. I’ve used a ton of my bottle in a month, even in the warmer weather. Ani is a perfume that felt like me immediately! It’s probably my favorite perfume ever!
Totally agree with you. Nasheet is wayyyyy lighter and I literally shower in it before heading out. But it is so friggin addictive that I will get a small bottle of Ani to add to my collection for sure ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh exactly! The Alexandria perfumes H’ani is amazing and stronger than Nasheet (but more expensive yet less than the real deal). I’m thinking for Christmas I’ll ask for a huge bottle of Ani. I’m absolutely in love with it.
@@SiminShaikh also hey girl! Love your videos!
Omg SAME! I bit the bullet and ordered Ani online for a nice price which I split into 4 payments with Afterpay just to soften the blow lol! But Ani is most definitely my absolute favorite perfume right now.. and possibly forever!
@@justjulia8007 that’s how I’m feeling about it. Nasheet is my summer version cause it’s not as beastly and then Ani will be fall and winter.
Hello. I think you should definitely get a fragrance called karat by maison alhambra and another called Arabesque Amethysta
I just received mine majaazi and let me tell u it’s so so beautiful. Thank u for the recommendation
For the tharwa gold, does it smell like
Libre or libre intense ?
Came to your channel for Lattafa but subscribed because of you 🌺
Have you tried Lara? Very lovely summer Lattafa, and is one of the ones that gets better over time (smells kinda like Cheirosa 62)
Heya babe ❤
Thank you so so soooo much! I have not tried Lara but I am gonna be on it now hehe. Especially if it smells like Cheriosa 62 which is my all time fav gourmand ❤ ❤ ❤
Do you mean Yara??
@@Ang-hj6cb omg yes that was a typo! Im laughing as I booked my Holiday to Turkey - Lara beach haha
