2023 MIDDLE EASTERN PERFUME AWARDS FOR EVERY CATEGORY

[@Tseringlhatso]

Ignore the haters - you are a breath of fresh air on KZbin! or should that be, a breath of beautifully perfumed air....love your videos, thanks for all your hard work 💞

[@e.natashap.257]

I dont see why people need to be rude and nasty.

[@Mandalaaxo]

"Don't wait to wear perfumes" - I love that, I don't get when people say you can't wear this for that occasion or being snobby about people wearing perfumes for times they don't think it's good for. Wear what you want, when you want. Other people aren't going to care that the perfume isn't appropriate. Unless, like you said, it's a work environment and you don't want to offend others you're working with.

[@e.natashap.257]

Some people need to be offended.. I'm kidding . LOL lol lol I agree.

[@Mandalaaxo]

@@e.natashap.257 Wearing a beast mode perfume in the office as a passive aggressive move 😆

[@marypb8047]

I love this!!! I don’t follow along with spring,summer, fall/winter fragrances. I’ll wear what I am feeling that day! I’ve worn Angels Share in June. Never once have I had someone come to me and say “ma’am you really should only be wearing that fragrance fall through winter”

[@ShaniOnSinai]

@@Mandalaaxoi do that 😂

[@aesinam]

When will people understand that not everyone will like every perfume? To get upset over someone liking a perfume you didn't like is just ridiculous.

[@SiminShaikh]

Exactly Lol. And its like a lot of aggressive hate, which is very strange to me.

[@royarahim811]

Simin love watching your content you’re always so sweet and polite. Don’t let the Internet trolls bother you. There’s always going to be Internet trolls.

[@joannathesinger770]

I ordered two bottles of Amber Oud Tobacco Edition...one for my daughter--because she had it on her "want" list--and one for me. My daughter had Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille...and we sprayed one on one wrist and the other on the other. Amber Oud Tobacco Edition is a 100% dup of Tom Ford--or maybe the other way around! It is DIVINE!!! What??? You are genuinely sweet, which it is why it's a joy to watch your videos. I feel like we are friends even though we have never met!

[@lisabafundo4355]

Try your oils in your bodywash as well, your skin will be so soft..i just add it to everything..lotions, body sprays, bodywashes..etc makes the perfume last longer 😊

[@CJ-rx5fi]

Happy new year! And ignore those sad people in the comments… some people just need to complain! I have enjoyed all your videos since I subscribed and you have really turned me into a middle eastern perfume lover! I never knew I would like oud but I love it! And the quality of the perfumes is stellar. It’s a whole new world of fragrance and I am grateful to you, Simin!

[@sumaiyahsmith7813]

Your channel has the best reviews on Arabian perfumes. I appreciate it so much

[@DMSqueen1]

You are the best! I trust your reviews, just got my rare passion OBSESSED!!! Love your encouragement to be true to yourself and just enjoy

[@SiminShaikh]

Thank you so much for your kindness my hun ❤ ❤ ❤ Rare Passion is a narcotic hahahaa!!! Im also hooked for over a year now. Absolutely stunning! Thank you for the boost babe. I really appreciate it. Much love to you xo

[@Lila_S.]

Yes! I am obsessed with Ebhar. It's that freshness.

[@SiminShaikh]

Right?! What a stunning creation by Rasasi ❤

[@VanNguyen-lj6jn]

Agree, don’t wait to wear perfume. I did that before and eventually most turned bad. I loved Ezra by Abercrombie and Fitch. The bottles gone bad and it’s discontinued now.

[@AmiAbroad]

Yes! Rare Passion for the win. It is the only floral in my collection. I love it. I don't know why it works, but it does. 😊

[@herbanista5102]

You’re doing a really phenomenal job! Keep going and don’t give the haters any attention! We love you!😊

[@SiminShaikh]

Thank you so much my gorgeous hun ❤ I am trying my best to not pay heed to them and usually just hide them from my channel, so I dont have to experience the negativity every time I open my comments section ❤

[@kerlinegalette7023]

❤❤❤ Rare Passion!!! I did buy based on your videos and also Rare Tiffany, I’d told myself that I would not like Tiffany and so ruled it out until I saw your post and how much you enjoyed it!

[@cynthiaprzybylinski4842]

Simmie, I enjoy the awards. So many goodies to check into today. Thanks

[@HeritageCarriage]

I have Casablanca and Ebhar! Already so im happy

[@barryryan1948]

Hey my beautiful hun, so glad to see Rare Passion, wearing this right now, never gets old. Thank you for another wonderful video. I am so sorry you get nasty comments. I love the idea of the screenshots for the nasties. I actually have done this for my music channels as sometimes you truly get the most bizarre comments that are almost so nasty they are funny. I must admit one of my pet peeves is when people ask for a video I have created and shared but they obviously did not check to see if it was there or worse ( I spend so much time writing out relevant information about the song, the music, perhaps even some memory of Barry in regards to this song and also often translate into one or 2 languages for fans) when someone asks a question when I actually wrote about this and the answer is in the about section. Mind you this used to happen more on other channels than on this one. This one is a true labour of love as I knew Barry and Paul, and have such precious memories of Barry so what I do on this channel is much more personal to me. I never thought about creating a video with those, I could use a tongue in cheek song and share those comments, that would be fun for a music channel. Sadly there will always be someone who loves to be nasty but your videos are wonderful, you give so much and spend so much time on these and I think people also forget that it is all a labour of love. I also feel people do not realize how much times is spent in editing etc. You are wonderful dearest Sim. Love you so much ,my friend, sending you much much love 🏩💌 from warm sunny Tasmania ( which is finally warming up and seems to be more constant this week) cuddles to dear Markus😻 and purrs from Pushkin 😽 and Sunti 💌😻

[@SiminShaikh]

My gorgeous sister from sunny Taz! ❤ I love hearing from you so much. I know how passionate you are about Barry and his music. And it is so beautiful that you are honoring his legacy in such a beautiful way ❤ I feel sad that people just cannot be kind and if they dont like something, just leave the page. It is very unnatural to me to take time and leave a nasty comment. What a waste of energy. And you are right, sometimes the hate comments make me laugh out loud as well. Especially the ones where they are super passionate with their hate and I am like dude! Its just perfumes lol. I totally get when people try and take short cuts by asking questions you have clearly mentioned in comments or have made videos about. I understand if we have like over 1000 videos and it would be difficult to sift through. But if there are just a few then it is not fair to add the burden. I miss you even if I dont know you ❤ And feel good sharing my emotions and feelings with you ❤ My dear dear friend. Please stay the way you are. You are perfectly made by God ❤ Soooo much love and positive thoughts your way. Also, big kittie cuddles to Sunti and Pushkin ❤ ❤ ❤ P.S. Winter did not show up here in the Middle East :(

[@barryryan1948]

@@SiminShaikh My beautiful sister in Dubai, I was just thinking about you ❤😍 ❤😍!!! I was thinking of how wonderful it is to know you and how lovely it is to watch your beautiful videos and how blessed I feel. Thank you for your words about Barry. I had my first teenaged crush on this man or his incredible voice and the song "Eloise" before I even knew what he or his identical twin looked like or what a true crush was ! LOL But then I saw some PR photos my father bought home from work and the crush was in full bloom and then I met him and the crush grew. He and Paul were such lovely kind gentle souls, sweet and warm. I feel so lucky I was able to reconnect with him when I returned the first time from Tasmania. ❤. I think like you, what a waste of energy to write something negative. Yeah, the super passionate ones who seem to spew out their hatred do make me laugh out loud. I mean really? Have you not got something better to do. My ' higher more evolved' self🤣tells me to feel sorry for them as it shows what empty lives they may lead to have to waste their energy but then the inner teenaged red head rises 😂and she says come on 😆and I have to curb my instinct to fire back a polite but fiery comment. 🤣 I try and walk away and just delete a comment ( after taking a screenshot) if it is really offensive and yep, sadly that has happened as some (of singers) fans are so possessive and cannot stand the thought you may have known this person. Or sometimes fans quote back what they read which is incorrect and they resent that you may know something and what they are saying is based on a lie.... " No, I read it online, saw it on a video, it be true" type of comment. 11 years of working on music pages has made me see some strange things. Mind you the music business is a funny in itself. I saw someone get really nasty because a reviewer didn't like a perfume they loved ( not many people like my beloved Opulent Red, it doesn't worry me at all, we all have different tastes, different noses and different body chemistry) and they seem to take such offense. I miss you as well, even though we have never met I am lucky I can always watch your videos again 😃😍. I actually made some videos on this channel and my personal channel where I talked to friends about my adopted beautiful island home and the wildlife🦘🐾🦜. I love sharing stories with you and feelings. 😍. My darling, I am too old ( and stubborn 😅) to change now, I feel. But I also hope you never ever change as you are perfect the way God made you ❤. I am overtired and hungry so I cannot stop writing to you, it will be a novel if I do not stop and make dinner 😉. No winter there, yet? Oh no, Germany is icy, Finland has had minus 35 degrees Celsius. ( I cannot even imagine this 🥶although it looks utterly magical, a white winter wonderland of magic) . Love you so much, much much love, light and more love send to you, sending cuddles to Markus 😻and purrs from Pushkin and Sunti 😻😽🐈

[@suzanneneill1217]

Hi Simin great video, love to hear you talk. Just ignore the bad comments, they’re not worth spending time on. We love you and love to see you so passionate of perfume. Look after yourself.

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey my Hun ❤ I am so happy that you commented this. I went on a negative spiral and was saving those comments. Thanks to you I have been affirmed that I should not waste my time on them or anything negative for that matter ❤ So thank you soooooo much commenting. I really appreciate it ❤

[@kellyhinrichs7403]

Happy New year! Oh my gosh. How anyone could be mad or offended by what you say in your videos boggles my mind. You are so sweet and considerate! That goes to show you that some people can be nasty for no reason. Keep a list with the screen shots. 😉 I have a running list in my head of co-workers I prefer not to speak to when they have questions because they're so rude. 😂 Luckily there are 30,000+ employees here. I've been stuck on Casablanca, Nebras, Choco Musk, Crystal Love and Khaltat Night this winter.

[@xtinejoy]

Yes, ignore the nasty comments! Not worth your time. We appreciate you for all your hard work and honesty. I still love watching you even though I'm aware that some of your favorites are ones I'm repulsed by because I get to learn a lot from you and from the experience of finding out which ones I like and which ones I don't. I hope you won't pressure yourself, Miss Simin. Happy new year! ❤

[@DDH64812]

I love Hareem Al Sultan. I wear the matching attar and EDP combined . Khadlaj nailed it! Casablanca has a flanker. The Essance of Casablanca, I love the performance of that one a bit better. The vanilla is stronger in the flanker to me. I love both! Simm, have you tried Al Haramain Ultra Violet? I would love to hear your thoughts on that one. 😊 Musamam--GORGEOUS!

[@joannathesinger770]

I've been wondering about Ultra-Violet also.

[@ShillpiSachdev]

Hey... Pls do this for 2024 as well.. and also pls add Girlie Girl perfume category too.... Thank you 😊 ❤🎉

[@Eva_noir.]

Because of you i brought tobacco edition even though i already have tom ford tobacco vanilla❤ Sending big love from japan. Im so into middle eastern perfume .

[@juanijimenez1761]

Los quiero todos, gracias por compartir 😊

[@SiminShaikh]

Siempre serás bienvenida mi hermosa amiga. Mucho amor para ti ❤

[@e.natashap.257]

I have been wearing asam gold ans silver layered and it is awesome. Don't know why people need to be nasty. Its a flipping FREE channel. Don't even give these people your time. Unbelievable. No apology needed. Keep being you. We do want to meet Ali. Lol

[@5hanti]

Ebhar performs like a beast on me. Lasted me all night and can be smelled from across the room. This was from only 3-4 sprays.

[@belinda4732]

Casablanca is my fav 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SiminShaikh]

I am obsessed with it ❤ What a beautiful perfume ❤❤❤

[@lovejones2613]

At first, I didn’t like Casablanca. Now, it’s a love for me!

[@quiCksilvieZzz]

This hair color really suits you!

[@angelflip100]

Don't feed the trolls. I LOVE all your videos. I too have purchased some of your recommendations😮 but I would never blame you for my purchases because I'm an adult.....

[@SiminShaikh]

I wish everyone would understand that. Not every perfume I like will be loved by everyone ❤ Thanks my gorgeous hun! Your comment means a lot ❤

[@leahmiranda8359]

Hi Sim! I'm so happy to see you today! 💛💛 I've never understood why people will hide behind a keyboard and say things that they would never say to your face. These are unhappy, insecure people who have made it a goal in life to make others feel as miserable as they do. Ignore them....but I would still like to see a video with the screenshots......😁😁😁😁 The only perfume ive tried out of this group is Casablanca. At first I thought I must have something different from what everyone was talking about! I let it sit for a few months, and now I get it! It's delicious! I hope you've recovered from the 12 days of Christmas! 😂

[@iniudonkang8712]

I'm seriously on d hunt for musamam white intense...

[@iniudonkang8712]

Yeah, I also loooove dt click sound from d cap of fragrance bottles 😊

[@IndigooceanOrg]

You have helped me find so many lovely fragrances. Thank you.

[@e.natashap.257]

Casablanca I had to give away I didn't care for it. But yes its rich and if its your type of perfume it is well done. Very strong.

[@ekramabdirahman3746]

[@cynthiamitchell2442]

Loved all of your award videos which I like all of your videos so this is no different. I need more money I want all the perfumes!!! I wish I had a different skin chemistry, perfumes just don't work as well on me as others so I have to way overspray to smell even a bit.

[@9cvb]

You got me into Middle Eastern Fragrances!!! Thank you so much for posting such fun videos and I appreciate your honest opinions as well. Is/are there any Middle Eastern fragrance(s) you'd recommend that's powdery that does not smell like lipstick? 😅 Thanks ❤

[@RodshiRodshi-s9d]

Thanks for the vid, and thanks for the 12 days of Christmas series, that had to have been very challenging to film so back-to-back!! My SOTD this morning was Musamam, and I just refreshed with Casablanca (hard to choose between that and Rare Passion, though!) 😆

Hi Simin. Great video- I enjoyed it. I still do not have Hareem Sultan Gold and there is now the time to change it:) If you recomend it than it must be beautiful. I also do not own Creation de Reve and I absolutely love the bottle - it is added to my wish list🌼

[@hanoh2904]

Taste is subjective and it also depends on your body chemistry which is why I try to avoid blind buying scents as much as possible. People love br540 and I can't stand it. It makes me sick

[@majamilivojevic6764]

I love to watch your videos. 🥰 You’re like a comedian 😆 and you make me smile with your comments and positive energy. Also, the way you describe perfumes is exactly how I feel about them as I have huge collection of Arabic perfumes too.

Hi dear, we really appreciate ur hardwork nd don't doubt for a second u r too good nd perfect. Hv u heard abt Khair Pistachio nd Love Affection duping Kayali Yum Pistachio?? I want to know ur thoughts on this becoz we don't like lactonic notes 😂 ❤❤

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey my Gorgeous Hun ❤ How are you feeling now. I hope you are on your way to full recovery or have recovered. Do let me know as I think of you often. Unfortunately Love Affection, Masa, Vintage Radio etc. were not released here in Dubai. Which sucks coz its their home country. So weird. I questioned them and they said it is only for the Euro market. Go figure. I have been staying away from Paris corner but looks like I need to start reviewing them. Lol. P.S. Lactonic Notes!!! Arrrgghhhhhhh! I need to run far away from it 😂😂😂

@@SiminShaikh Today I m inviting u at my home. Today is last Thursday of Margshish nd I m celebrating it nd Mataji is looking very very beautiful 😍 I can't express it in words. kash ye mumkin hota honey😂. If possible pls come at my home. I m hunting for Khair but it's not available whenever I will find I will let u know. And ya I think u shd start Paris corner also. They r growing . Lattafa is very rude nd arrogant sometimes I hv noticed that. When Aromatix Neeb went to their shop they hv insulted him which was not good. Lots of love to u❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Good video ❤ A lot of these are still on my wishlist! I got Tobacco Touch for my husband, wondering how redundant the Amber Oud Tobacco would be? I wish there were samples widely available for middle eastern fragrances!

[@HeritageCarriage]

Go im making a list of 10 to buy and i want different ones !

[@rostyq746]

Hi Sim, love your channel !! Another lady had recommended Tanasuk Oil by Al Haramain and I love it!!! Rose and coffee. She had said it’s a dupe for Móntale Cafe Intense. Do you know about it? Do you know if they have the perfume for it? I’m like you, I find it a bit hard to wear perfume oil but I’m mixing it in my body cream. It’s such a delicious gourmet scent. Please tell me what you think about it. Thank you!! I look forward to your videos !! Happy New Year!!! 🎊 🎉❤

[@mirelastoica8752]

Please if you can tell me about EGC Armaf if it is really like FRAGIL J.P. Gaultier from start to finish. Thank you for everything!

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey my hun ❤ It is definitely not the same. It is not even 80% dupe but it has the same white florals and certain something that reminds me of the luxurious Fragile ❤ So if you buy Ego exotic, dont go into it thinking its a dupe. It is more of a dupe of Wind Flower that Fragile ❤
