VIDEO: Maison Alhambra Glossy Perfume Review

This is one perfume I’ve been on the fence about because whilst people kept saying it was duping Idole by Lancome, a few testers out there said it wasn’t doing that. I finally decided to get it and see for myself, and I actually love it. Glossy opens sweet, fizzy, […]

VIDEO: Lattafa Mazaaji Review | Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal Dupe

I’ve had Lattafa’s Mazaaji for over 2 years and for a while I was kinda in love with it but not anymore It opens with a blast of sweet jasmine, orange blossom and vanilla and almost immediately starts turning creamy and lactonic. This is meant to be a rose forward […]

VIDEO: Precious Gold, Qaed Al Fursan, Jardin de Paris, Kingdom Perfume Reviews

I bought Maison Alhambra’s Precious Gold because it was about half the price of Lattafa’s Yara Moi. Both perfumes are said to be duping Marc Jacob’s Perfect Intense. Precious Gold opens like a sweet, creamy, woody melon and what smells like a ylang-ylang accord. I get a bit of earthy […]

VIDEO: Maison Alhambra Encode Blue Review | Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue Dupe

Maison Alhambra Encode Blue just misses the mark for me. Thankfully the perfume it’s trying to dupe has issues too so…. According to folks at Fragrantica, Maison Alhambra’s Encode Blue is a dupe for Mont Blanc’s Explorer Ultra Blue. It opens airy, fresh, blue, floral, aromatic and somewhat zesty with […]

VIDEO: Purple Oud | Qamar Alzeyan Perfume Review

Purple Oud by Arabiyat Prestige is such a beautiful, sexy, masculine scent. In the opening, it’s giving sweet, powdery, musky citrus, woods, creamy coconuts and lavender with mentholated tobacco leaf and leather coming in within a few minutes. For interested parties, the creamy coconut accord smells like both the flesh […]

VIDEO: Arabiyat Prestige Portrait Perfume Review | Lattafa Khamrah Dupe

If you live in Nigeria and haven’t gotten a full bottle of Lattafa’s Khamrah because of the current retail price, I give you Arabiyat Prestige Portrait. This is marketed as yet another Killian’s Angel Share inspiration but it straight-up smells like Lattafa’s Khamrah which is disappointing as I really wanted […]

VIDEO: FA Paris Wurood Bois D’Arabie Perfume Review | French Avenue

Some months back, @skinwithlolami gifted me this perfume via @profumong_ and here are my thoughts. When you sniff this through the nozzle, it’s giving green citrus, fresh leather and woods but on skin it opens smelling like sweet, spicy, peppery, rubbery leather. It evolves into this ridiculosly sweet herbal leather scent once the vanilla, […]

VIDEO: Fragrance World Extreme Aoud Review

Hey guys welcome back. Let’s review Fragrance World’s Extreme Aoud. It opens sweet, oudy and green with citrus, rose and vanilla accords. It literally smells like a distant cousin of Arabiyat’s Oud Al Layl but with a shit load of vanilla which is why I was once super obsessed with […]

VIDEO: Khadlaj Ghadeer Silver Perfume Review

The notes for Ghadeer Silver include Bergamot, Lavender, Lotus, Jasmine, Watermelon, Sandalwood, Amber and Musk. On my skin, Ghadeer Silver opens with an energetic burst of fresh spicy citrus, zesty green aromatics and bubblegummy sweetness. It also comes off quite effervescent and a touch salty, reminiscent of foamy waves crashing […]

VIDEO: Arabiyat Prestige Nyla Vani-Elle Perfume Review

If you can’t afford Lattafa’s Eclaire, just get Nyla Vani-Elle by Arabiyat Prestige. It opens with a burst of leather and powdery detergent like Jasmine followed with choco musk vanilla and then nose blindness immediately. Like I can’t perceive anything at all. After like say 10 minutes, it’s back and […]
