10 Viral Middle Eastern Fragrances

[@ThingsIBuy]

I agree waiting for them to settle down really makes a huge difference, first impression isn’t always great on them.

[@ThingsIBuy]

I’ve been obsessed with middle eastern scents lately. They really know what they’re doing and they tend to be quite affordable.

[@prashantacharya7316]

The Amethyst when I first got it smelled straight up like gasoline and metal.....but boii when I let it sit for about 3 months. IT TURNED OUT SO GOOOOOD. SO LONGLASTING & ITS SO MYSTERIOUS 🤌😍

[@devorahXO]

So glad to have found you! And, yes, please, more Middle Eastern frags!

[@allykatreviews472]

More to come!❤️

[@miracle_bluebird]

Thank you, beautiful Soul 🙏 I blind buy 4 Lattafa's /Maison Alhambra because of you and all are amazing. I love your energy ❤❤❤

[@K_Reezee75]

Geeat list. Cocktail intense and Vintage Radio are both compliment magnets. Vintage Radio is a little more versatile than I thought. Wore it to work and the coworkers loved it.

[@ScentedSab]

I wish Maison Alhambra would dupe the discontinued white cube from Narciso Rodriguez.

[@allykatreviews472]

Agreed 💯 It’s one of my faves ❤️

[@SleepyNightowl01]

I just would like to thank you for recommending Narissa! I had been hesitant to buy this for most of last year but the way you described it sold me. I just got in the mail and I can say it is so beautiful, it shocked me lol! I will be wearing this daily! Thank you!!!

[@allykatreviews472]

It will only get better with time ❤️ It’s stunning and will be amazing in summer 😍

[@lexip396able]

Thank you for your review. I really enjoyed it! You definitely mentioned fragrances that I hadn't heard of, which is rare! Happy to be here!

[@sueseverin1871]

I really love The Chant. Thanks for posting this review, many of these I've not seen reviewed yet and now I've put several on my wishlist: Vintage Radio, Grise and Narcissa Ambre. I'd like to recommend Lazuli, a clone for Neroli Portofino. The citrus in it is amazing, just like scraping your fingernail on the skin of a fresh orange or mandarin - great for the summer heat.

[@hotchocococo]

Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews, Ally ❤ So glad I found your channel! My dad and I love "soapy" scents. I went by your recommendation of Grise, which is absolutely perfect! The moment i received it, I sprayed it on me and the smell was just beautiful! My dad is unwell, so I want to get him something to make him as happy as possible. I will be ordering him a bottle ASAP. Thank you again for your fantastic videos ❤❤❤ much love from down under 🇦🇺

[@tanyadimartino1266]

Just watched this one and I believe Mohra is a dup of Penhaligans London Helfeti. I want to try Narrisa! Just purchased Cocktail Intense. Thank you so much for the great reviews!

[@justaddlight]

This was great!! Thank you so much! Feb certainly a great time for rose scents. 🌹

[@ms.c76]

I have Infini Rose for Maison Alhambra and l feel is a really good dupe for Atomic Rose 🌹

[@shelahansuriza9463]

Interesting perfumes. I like middle eastern fragrances they've been inventing before Europe was around. I have quit a few already. Thank you.

[@heatherl4387]

Omg haha! I’ve been wondering about Gris Dior; have yet to get my nose on it. When you said “I almost killed a lady wearing it” that was enough to seal the deal for my purchase! Then “…allergic reaction and I had never loved a fragrance more after that” made me spill decant 😂. New subscriber.

[@dietbajablast5790]

Cocktail Intense is the truth! Every single time I break it out for a wear I'm blow away yet again.

[@askthecaterpillar]

❤ Salad fingers quotes & bookish scents. Thanks for the tip!

[@bonnie4734]

Girrrl...you have put me on! Because of your reviews, I've put my nose and hands on Shiseido Zen, Cocktail Intense🤤, and The Chants by Maison Alhambra. I'm enjoying them all. Keep the reviews comin'!!

[@judithargitay9860]

Thank you so much for this vid, I'll defiitely go for Mohra for the spring as it is available in my country (Hungary), and the price point is just incredible. I bought my 1st ever Middle Eastern frag online a month ago, Afnan La Fleur Bouquet, and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. It is a beautiful, extremely well blended, feminine frag, very affordable, the packaging is gorgeous, and is laaaaaaasts forever. Designers do not get even close to it. And you are right, if you let it sit for a couple of weeks, it just gets better and better.

[@allykatreviews472]

I need to get my nose on that one! It sounds wonderful 😍

[@moony917]

Amazing review ❤ thank you so much

[@allykatreviews472]

❤️

[@KristinaKage]

LOL at the "Repels Negative Vibes" - need

[@chandracox6814]

Just bought Berlinetta and a dupe of Black Saffron but the Black Saffron one is not from the same line so its a different looking bottle too. I'll try to remember the name of the company. ETA: it's called Safran Noir by Milestone. Unrelated to the fragrances in this video but i found a dupe of Whispers in the Library too!! I couldn't believe it. The fragrance I found that's the dupe was on Mercari but the seller said it's discontinued and HTF so I will cherish my bottle forever. It's called Elysian Chapter and Hearth. I'm becoming the queen of dupes. 😂❤

[@fatiq8297]

I have ‘The Chant’, and I found it difficult to wear at first because of the Frangipani and that ‘dated’ or ‘retro’ feel that you mentioned…but omg…I had a bottle of REM L’Acqua just sitting at the back of my wardrobe (it’s a very inexpensive and simple marine scent, very fresh and light, bergamot and salty sea water, got it at a discount and almost never wear it)…I experimented wearing them together and the combo was amazing…tropical island vacation vibes, salty sea air, leis around my neck, sunscreen and everything. I can’t wear one without the other now.

[@user-ic1mx4hj5d]

31:35 Well that's because Narciso Abree OG is a clone of the Chant for the nymph OG. Compared them side by side.

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Love these ❤

[@jetaboveclouds]

Thanks for the video. I bought Honor and Glory and it had almost no scent. After a month, the pineapple came out and now, two months later it is really sweetening up. I am sure it is going to become very feminine as it mascerates because it is becoming very sweet. Try Shaghaf Oud Tonka by Swiss Arabian. It is amazing.

[@allykatreviews472]

I have Shanghai oud tonka on the way❤️ I’m excited to get my nose on it 😍

[@jenjen2864]

Love love love the video. I just picked up Lattafa Sondos- mandarin, saffron, vanilla and suede… I am a perfume head lol and it’s sooooo good

[@deenz80]

New subbie! Love love your middle eastern videos which is how I stumbled upon your channel ❤ Can’t wait to see more videos on these gorgeous Middle eastern perfumes! I also love how detail oriented and well spoken you are! I have three perfumes in my Amazon cart now bc of you ❤

[@allykatreviews472]

❤️

[@miles-178]

nice, releaxed way of reviewing !!! another fan of yours!

[@allykatreviews472]

Welcome aboard!❤️

[@basssuper9]

OMG my fav one is Cocktail intense! great review!!!

[@lunablue1002]

Yayyy so happy to see you! 🥰

[@juliettirina6829]

Ha.ha.ha Loved your attitude about keeping wearing Gris Dior❤👏👏👏. I hate those drama Queens that love making huge scenes over nothing and pretending having allergic reactions to perfumes. Thank you for introducing me to its dupe, I have had Gris Dior in my wishlist for the longest time but I don't want to spend much money. Definitely this affordable alternative is a life saver for me.

[@allykatreviews472]

It’s so worth the money, it’s identical to my nose to my bottle of Gris Dior. ❤️

[@Toikag]

I love cocktail intense i get many compliments when i wear it

[@adeleeagleton3283]

Hi im new to your channel and have most of the ones you have ..ive montage intense and thats a good better than cocktail intense. And then stumbled across an even better one called enigma Deux its amazing.. berlinetta and the saffron one is also very nice ..im waiting for the chant to arrive ..

[@ntiobeng2195]

Pls do more of these vidoes. thank you

[@marypb8047]

First time viewer of your channel! Great reviews! And you’re are stunningly beautiful! Also I paused this video and ordered cocktail intense. Lol

[@sarahsunshine78]

Thank you, thank you for the Cocktail Intense recommendation! I ordered it and it came today and omgoodness!!! Sooooo good! The best boozy apple pie vibe. And for $15??? How can I beat it? Have you noticed if the sillage and scent have matured on this one as time has gone on?

[@allykatreviews472]

It gets better the longer it sits. I’ve had mine for a couple months now and it last about 7-8 hours on me and much longer if sprayed on clothes

[@AsmaeAmarAissa]

I just subscribed, you are so funny... I need to get the Narissa 😊😍

[@allykatreviews472]

It’s so dang good! 😍

[@fromfrankfurtwithlove]

Thank you very much for this helpful video!🎉❤

[@shalliangregory7579]

Your recommendation of Berlinetta is soft and unique❤

[@merisalvi3210]

I’m looking into the grise but first I wanna smell the original if I love it

[@juliemorris6916]

So glad I found your channel!

[@allykatreviews472]

Me too!!❤️❤️❤️

[@edithobrien7118]

WOW! Very informative !

[@yopsiakay1519]

Have you tried Khamrah and its flanker (Khamrah Qahwa)? I’d love your opinion on them. I have and love Khamrah but haven’t tried Qahwa yet. Waiting for the prices to drop a little bit. And definitely looking forward to more Middle Eastern hauls! Thanks and stay safe.

[@allykatreviews472]

I had Khamrah and enjoyed it but it broke when I moved in shipment. I haven’t tried the flanker but I’m curious to get my nose on it ☺️

[@ScentSquirrel]

Just started watching and am so glad. I have Amethyst and do enjoy it but I find it a bit screechy. I’ve been wanting Infini Rose but didn’t know if it would be too redundant since they’re both duping the same scent supposedly. I love rose scents. Thanks for the info. 😊🌹

[@allykatreviews472]

Infini rose is a spot on dupe for atomic rose. It’s softer when you first get it but let it macerate for a month after spraying it a couple times and it becomes near identical to atomic rose. Amethyst is no where near atomic rose. The only thing they share are that they are both rose scents but completely different styles

[@claudiatemplaria4939]

yes please i want to know how is the saffran one, i have the Black saffran and is one of my fav but i do not want to pay so much.❤

[@allykatreviews472]

Video will be coming soon ❤️

[@tiffanybyer1148]

Honor and glory I let my macerate for several months I kept hoping it would become more feminine or at least more unisex but I think it’s the moss that’s giving that that really sharp bite and I ended up just giving it to my husband because I don’t think I can ever get down with it I hope yours macerates enough that you can get down with yours I hate smells really good on a man if you can rock as a female really masculine sense when you go on with your bad ass self because there’s nothing wrong with that it’s pretty bad ass I’m just not confident enough to pull it off

[@allykatreviews472]

I’m definitely going to let it sit and check up on it. Thank you ❤️😍

[@sibyl333]

I busted out my Angels' Share today for the first time in a while:-)

[@rhondaalivingston5705]

Love this video, I’m going to order The Gris, Love that the bottle is so good.. I want to find a Rouge Trafalgar.. I love this , I can’t pay almost $400.. if you have any suggestions, let me know I bought these last 2 dupes, for Gucci

[@apartirdelos50s32]

Love your videos 🎉

[@allykatreviews472]

❤️

[@chandracox6814]

Does Mohra remind you of Roja Elixir at all? Looking for a reasonable dupe for Elixir.

[@allykatreviews472]

Elixir is much more tart and fruity where silky rose is more candied rose on a sparkling patchouli base

[@Lurie.e]

among the narciso rodriguez cube line, poudree has the best performance imo. if youre into the notes, im sure you wouldnt be disappointed by its performance. also can you review narissa poudree too?

[@MynameisNOTthepoint]

The Initio dupe is actually Infini Rose by Lattafa, it’s in the same sort of bottle.

[@allykatreviews472]

I also mention Infini rose in this video as the dupe for atomic rose in the video🌹 But a lot of people tend to think amethyst is also an atomic rose dupe but it’s not, it just has similar packaging to initio

[@alezy7645]

Please can you include how long these last in your future videos.

[@kara8911]

Honor and Glory is a miss for me too. Ive been letting mine sit for a couple months and so far it’s not any better. It’s just a lot and I love powerhouses but it’s not maybe as well blended and it’s quite masculine for sure.

[@missmancevska]

I bought The Chant, but it has an off putting bitter smell on the background of the florals. Wondering if I got a bad batch. Do you smell that in yours? If so, how long did it take to disapear? Thank you for your reviews. Helps a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@allykatreviews472]

Give it a few sprays and let it sit for a while, it’s the florals mixing with the slight pencil shaving wood type of wood in the base. It will sweeten over time and lessen. Mine has become more creamy and warm over time ☺️

[@betsyeffect]

Is Narissa and chant both have similar notes… r they both same ?? Is it sweet and tropical Lactonic??

[@allykatreviews472]

They are definitely in the same style of fragrance category but they aren’t the same. Narissa give a more tropical body oil sort of effect and is much more sweet, whereas Chant has the sweetness turned down and a more pronounced woody base. Both layer amazingly together though because of that 😊

[@c.tucker2247]

Would you say that the badee al oud honor and glory has saffron or oud in it? I ask because I can't wear either on my skin.

[@allykatreviews472]

The note breakdown says it has neither, but something about it smells like a synthetic oud to my nose

[@arigabou]

Have you been able to get a hold of Alhambra Suede intense? I’m really interested in it but I heard it has really short longevity

[@allykatreviews472]

I’ll have to track it down so I can get my nose on it. Thanks for the recommendation ❤️

[@blackpearltranchau]

Hello Ally, I want to have an Angel's Share good clone. Do you have Khamrah, do you think Cocktail Intense is better than Khamrah? I tried Khamrah but I don't really like it, I think it's not as good as the OG AS. Thank you so much 😍

[@allykatreviews472]

I owned Khamrah and didn’t care for it so I parted with it. Cocktail Intense is in my opinion 100% better, smoother, sweeter and just overall better. Khamrah smell nothing like Angel share, but it is in the same fragrance family. Cocktail intense is more affordable and so much better to me. Hope this helps ☺️

[@lookatmeimsoquirky5834]

Can you let me know the longevity of minerve by Maison Alhambra please

[@allykatreviews472]

On me it last a good 8+ hours especially on clothes.

[@rengoku6282]

Would you recommend amethyst or infini rose??

[@allykatreviews472]

Infini rose 100 percent. Amethyst is more challenging because of the sharp oud note and is very dark and dense. If you want a near identical clone to Atomic Rose then I would go with Infini, Amethyst isn’t a dupe of it. Amethyst is more of an inspired by type of fragrance that uses a lot of the same notes but created something that was completely different than the inspired by fragrance. Amethyst isn’t bad by any means, it’s just not going to be for everyone because it can be quite abrasive.

[@PumpkinPie-xy2]

Just ordered la voie by ma which is a dupe of my way.

[@YummyGummy77]

The berlinetta looks like the juice is much lighter (the photo of the one I ordered) so I was curious if yours was already that dark when u received it or is this after it's been macerating for months??

[@allykatreviews472]

Mine was lighter when I first got it, but it’s darkened up the longer I’ve had it and only gotten better ☺️

[@kremapeneva9732]

Unfortunately all of the mentioned above fragrances were a blind buy fails for me. Thank God I was able to sell them pretty fast. I guess it was a certain note in each of them that ruined it for me. Well, it did me good as I stopped overspending on perfumes and I enjoy the ones I have even more now. It is a bad idea to go over the top as you literally don't need more than ten-15 frags. I stopped at 45, But planning to get them down to 25. ;-)

[@martinamajstorovic2424]

Does anyone know how Lattafa’s Shahd compares to Narissa Amber? 🤗

[@allykatreviews472]

I talked about it in one of my previous messages middle eastern hauls. Both are amazing and super similar but Shahd is much stronger than Narissa Amber. I love both but if you want a more intense version of that DNA then I would go with Shahd. Shahd is also slightly more fresh as well. Just slightly ☺️

[@kellyhona241]

I found Honor and Glory very cloying, especially the turmeric note I found it to be unwearable. Wish it wasn't so strong and overwhelming.

[@yer_grrl]

The Salad Fingers quote took me OUT

[@john_constantine99]

boom boom n boom boom 💥😛

[@Janellabelle]

Eh, I just don't like Amethyst no matter how hard Ive tried! I WANTED to love it! Im a slut for rose! All rose fragrances I always want. Delina's next. Oud just isn't for me re: the Amethyst. I just do not vibe with it at all. Infini Rose is where it's at, though. Wish I could gatekeep that one forever because it's signature worthy. But you best love rose.

[@GoldiaGuerra-gi3in]

I have the Narisaa, mohra, honor and glory . I need Berlinetta 😂

[@allykatreviews472]

Berlinetta is so dang good 😍

[@celinaluisa]

😂 its „scheiße“ its my Language 😅
