13 NON-OUD MIDDLE EASTERN FALL/ WINTER PERFUMES - Part 2

[@tracyramos1019]

I'm easing myself into middle Eastern perfumes, so I'm enjoying your videos. I think you should do a video or series on blind buy safe Middle Eastern perfumes.

I can't even swim & I jump in head first! I love it!

[@christinavanmeter5034]

I will always have Casablanca! It’s both sweet, deep, yet fresh. It’s something I crave. I do love amber so that’s probably why. It’s just such an interesting fragrance, so unisex, so clean to me, and for me an easy reach. I would wear this anytime of the year, outside of extremely hot days. Every time I wear this, I love it even more….it was not love at first sniff. Most of my favorites are not love at first sniff.

[@scrabtree417]

Badee Al Oud Honor & Glory has a high percentage of pineapple in it so I'm surprised to not hear you mention the pineapple.

[@scrabtree417]

I wonder how Shaghaf Tonka would be with this fragrance? Also with Badee Al Oud Sublime? Apples and Almonds sound delightful! So does Tumeric, pineapple, and almonds & tonka.

[@frankiefavero1666]

Hello again Simin!!! Casablanca has FINALLY arrived back in New Zealand and I have just blind ordered it based on your reviews and the fact that fragheads are comparing it to a more gourmand version of Silky Woods, a niche scent from Australian brand Goldfield & Banks, which I own and love, but that doesn't last over 4 hours nor project on me (plus it's USD$225 for the 100ml, vs Casablanca's USD$59). Fingers crossed that I love it, I'll update in three days!

[@frankiefavero1666]

It IS a dupe for by beloved Silky Woods but stronger, longer lasting and sweeter! Yay! I'm in love with it :)

[@areenmajadly8413]

Can you please do Lattafa signiture scent worthy perfumes? I literally love you so much you're the best

[@fegermany2413]

Try lattafa Silky rose , if you like oud try badee al oud amethyst for signature scent

[@scrabtree417]

My Casablanca has that petrol scent to it like you mentioned in Royal Blend Gold so I'm letting it sit for the next month or so and hoping it settles down. It reminded me of Silky Woods By Goldfield and Banks, which also had a strong petrol/band-aid smell to the gourmand aspect. I know some people like that smell buy it's not for me.

[@scrabtree417]

I also just purchased Royal Blend Gold so hopefully I love it since I'm into the Kilian Liquors' collection.

Hi my beautiful friend, I love wearing Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends, I adore wearing this so much. I feel happy when I wear this and somehow nostalgic. The apple pie note you speak about , the filling, my grandmother in Berlin used to make these wonderful cinnamon clove apples, stew them and add them into a strudel and the whole house would smell of this. Also she used to make these apple pancakes, again using apples that were cooked in cinnamon, cloves with a hint of vanilla. Now I finally realize why I feel this sort of sense of love, like a big hug when I wear this and nostalgic. I loved my grandmother so much and I think despite the heat we will have here at Christmas , I will wear this on Christmas Eve. It has a woody note and I love that note. I was lucky when I received this, it was an older batch and the colour was already fairly dark. I like the simple classic feel to this bottle ( again because it reminds me of my beloved Oma who liked classic elegant things and the bottle looks elegant, no frills but beautiful and perhaps timeless). I am letting Nebras macerate as I am still not 100% in love with this and it is now too warm to wear it anyway. Oh, no, I now want Honor and Glory. I must resist at least for a while ....... The Proposal Date Night sounds very interesting and tempting as well. I will resist. Thank you for another wonderful video. Much much love to you and cuddles to Markus , Tia 😘 😻

[@SiminShaikh]

My gorgeous babe! ❤ You have given me the craving for a nice warm strudel ❤ And I wont stop until I have one lol. Granny's are the best. My paternal grandma use to hug me while sleeping and I still remember her scent. Is makes me happy and sad all at the same time. She went to heaven a long time ago. My maternal Gran is still alive an she is one of the best cooks I've known ❤ I did try to boil cinnamon sticks, apples and lemon to recreate the Holiday season vibe an I absolutely love it. The whole house smells divine. Much better than burning candle. I just reheat the pot when I want the scent to get stronger. My love to you always babe ❤ ❤ Loads of big kisses and hugs to Sunti and Pushkins ❤ ❤ ❤

[@helyB]

I just received my Casa Blanca and I completely love it! Very very gourmand and reminds me a little of vera wang princess which I absolutely love as well!!!! I love your descriptions and you have helped me decide on what ME perfumes I will order❤

[@SiminShaikh]

Vera Wang Princess has been on my buy lit and now you have convinced me to lol. Its the purple heart with a crown right? ❤️

Have you ever tried sehr al sheila by swiss arabian? i’d love to see a review from you!

[@SiminShaikh]

Not yet bae! Ive been meaning to though ❤

[@ije620]

Love this video so much, you made me love Middle Eastern Perfumes so much. I watch your videos before I buy any. Thanks so much, 🥰🥰😍

[@ceevee963]

I’m very intrigued by Shaghaf oud tonka! Curious how it compares to BDK velvet tonka?

[@AmiAbroad]

I have Date Night! Doll heads. It smells like doll heads and I am here for it! 😊 It smells like nothing else in my collection. Which is good because I am expanding my horizons.. Casablanca is my Fall fragrance. I love it. Cozy warm, and I always get compliments. One of my first fragrances and the one with the largest dent in my collection. Royal Blends, I adore. Again... unique! I don't know why folks are sleeping on this. Here, it is only 14€!

[@SiminShaikh]

Doll Heads!!! Yes!!!! ❤️ hehe I love i for the same reason, it is soooo unique! It intrigues people around me. I can see it being polarising though. But like you, I am here for it! ❤️❤️❤️ Casablanca is my new love ❤️ My Royal Blends will probably almost finish this winter.

[@hadiayousaf5520]

How is royal blend with projection and longevity?

[@AmiAbroad]

I@@hadiayousaf5520 I find that it lasts about 6 hours on me and projects about 2 feet. Moderate, I would say. But for the price, I am not complaining!

[@MzCorrieB]

I cant wait to try Shaghaf oud tonka!

[@SiminShaikh]

You will loooooove it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lalaheart76]

I feel like most of these perfumes are not available in the US. We only get the popular ones here. Wish we could access them all easily

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey hun ♥️ you will! All these brands are spreading like mushrooms across the world and I know will be able to create new distribution streams soon ♥️

[@aworldinwatercolor1715]

Hi Sim!!! I heavily depend on your reviews about Middle Eastern perfumes, and i just received my nebras by lattafa yesterday 😊 my question is, do I have to macerate it or use it right away? Also I'm very interested with the new shaghaf oud and I'm very sure I'll buy it too❤ does it have to macerate too?

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey my Hun ❤ Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. Nebras can be used right away but it will get thicker and stronger as days pass by. The same goes for Shaghaf Tonka. Even though it is a new batch, it smells very good. But I reckon it will change over time. ❤

[@aworldinwatercolor1715]

@@SiminShaikh thank you so much! I'll break the bank now😆😆😆

[@Lajolies2scents]

Yeah Casablanca is very potent. I think those other people are anosmic to it and that’s why they think it disappeared

[@SiminShaikh]

I agree babe ❤ I myself get anosmic to it. I nearly choked my colleagues yesterday coz I kept spraying it every three hours lol

[@TheGamingCrew0407]

Love watching things i can't afford for now.. 😊

Hahahaa me toooooo!!! It’s like therapy that makes you feel worse lol. I wish you so much success and blessings, that you never have to check a price tag again♥️

[@SiminShaikh]

Hahahaaaaa!!! I love her! That series is so underrated. Whenever I hear the title I hear it in Nando’s voice 😂😂😂

[@jetaboveclouds]

Hi Sim...I bought Honor and Glory on Amazon. It has an open of Pineapple for a few seconds and then NO Smell at all....nothing. Do you think I got a bad batch or a fake? I didn't keep the box. I have had it for two weeks. Can it be like that without maceration even after 2 weeks? Thanks so very much. I watch all your videos,.

[@SiminShaikh]

Heya hun ❤ I am so sorry you are having a poor experience. Mine has a mild pineapple opening but then it smells quite linear like a Turmeric Latte with creme brulee hints. So the fact that yours is not smelling could be due to lack of maceration. In case you cannot return it, leave it inside your cupboard for 3 months. Mine is also getting stronger by the day. I think they launched the whole first batch not properly matured.

[@jetaboveclouds]

@@SiminShaikh Thank you very much. Sim. I appreciate your reply.

[@sharonlee2005]

Royal blends is a dupe of byredo pulp

[@AmiAbroad]

Really? Now I am intrigued because I looooove Royal Blends.

Oh no wonder I feel so much plum from it ❤❤❤

[@Lajolies2scents]

The Proposal - Date Night gives me Beyonce vibes hands down. I could see her wearing this

[@SiminShaikh]

Woah!!!!! Actually now I cannot imagine anyone else but her. Have you tried her new perfume by any chance? ❤

[@Lajolies2scents]

@@SiminShaikh I haven’t tried it yet but idk if I want to since honey is a tricky note for me. It comes off peeish on my skin

[@RM-go2mo]

How long does the maceration process take ??

[@SiminShaikh]

Depends babe ❤️ Some just a month, other like almost a year ❤️❤️❤️ The good part is that some fragrances also change overtime so you can enjoy every facet of it

[@succulent5192]

what does PR means?

[@SiminShaikh]

PR means Public Relations and PR Teams from brands send PR Packages to content creators to get their feedback and review. I mention PR every time I receive something so maintain the transparency that it was not bought with my own money. I hope this helps hun ❤
