Ajayeb Dubai & Ajayeb Dubai Portrait | New from Lattafa Perfumes

[@marisajanine1009]

Can you do a video in a couple of months where you revisit all of your Middle Eastern fragrances to see how they aged?😊

[@SiminShaikh]

Oooooh thats a fab idea! Many of my fragrances are macerating and I will take them out in December. That will be an awesome time to make this video and perhaps also a declutter videos ❤

[@marisajanine1009]

@@SiminShaikh Thank you!

[@ojuice83]

The souks are actually my favorite place in Dubai. The hustle and grind of old Dubai is what I love. I made oils my first trip in 2018 and they were actually to string to wear and are still VERY fragrant. The architecture and glam is fun but meeting the people is even better!

[@AF-yv9oz]

I think your makeup is beautiful. And thank you for your reviews. I am looking forward to dedicated dupes review.

[@lisarobles1148]

Your eye makeup is so pretty. I like the design of the bottles I would like to try them both. Thank you for your videos you always let us know about new releases ❤

Love your eye makeup in this video, Sim! So pretty!

[@i-stein]

Thank you for this review! I don’t know where the majority of your viewers are from (I’m from Europe), but my guess that Lattafa videos get more views is because they are mostly easily available. Some Middle Eastern brands I can’t even get so I don’t even look for reviews about them. Btw., I love your makeup!

[@AvaLanche-j3o]

Same here, i do not know when we get the new lattafas on Europe. I do love to see other branch reviews as well. Many of them are just not available on Europe, or you need to order from USA, pay for the shipment, and taxes so they won´t be so affordable any more. But i´ll wait, maybe next summer we get these new Lattafas available. And i agree, your eye make up is real stunning. But you are always so put together. :)

[@tina_smt]

I would love to see the Dubai market place when the weather is more cooperative. The bottles look so unique! I’ll add these to my wish list. Love your descriptions of the scents 😊 Edited to add: I think that your eye makeup looks great! It’s definitely fun to play with makeup.

[@chandracox6814]

Ajayeb Dubai, the black bottle, smells nothing like popcorn. It's inspired by Black Phantom by Kilian but it is absolutely incredible. It's a creamy lactonic spicy coffee fragrance. Unisex.

[@itsatrap4986]

If it smells like Black Phantom, I might have to grab a couple bottles. FA Spectre Wraith is also another clone.

[@Leah-i7k]

​@@itsatrap4986 Oh, you made my day! I was looking all over the Internet for so long to find a really close dupe to Black Phantom by Kilian. Thank you so much for charing this!🎉🏆👍🏻❤️

[@itsatrap4986]

Sure, no problem. Which one are you getting? There are 2 more clones of BP by Kilian.@@Leah-i7k

Ajayeb Dubai reminds me of a leather jacket, fresh new car interior, creamy dark coffee, and a hint of chocolate all wrapped in one. 😂

Definitely adding to my list. I really wish Lattafa shipped directly to the US.

These are sold for 16.90€ a bottle in Germany, just ordered the mango one. So looking forward! 💖💖

I was hoping you would review these two !!! I already ordered Ajayeb Dubai Gold....and now I am looking to buy the Black.

[@casualtake1497]

How was it?

[@tobaccoffee]

the bottle looks llike an art installation in a hotel. it's my favourite bottle ever

[@ThreehoodooSisters]

Aljayeb I don’t smell fruit, it gives very strong sandalwood and musk. Still a beautiful smell, but not what people are saying it is. I literally smell nothing sweet. It leans on woody in my scent profile.

[@MyFragranceTrail]

My sweetie, looking ever so regal and beautiful as ever. The eye makeup is stunning! I’m so glad you reviewed these. Do you still enjoy the Adayeb Black? The notes and way you described it, interests me. I’m this close to purchasing it but want your thoughts. 😅

[@SiminShaikh]

Oh bless you my hun ❤️ Thank you for always encouraging me. I do, I do love Ajayeb. It is a very unique scent but I do feel it needs maceration. So I will revisit it in a month or two. I hope this feedback helps ❤️

[@aesinam]

You should definitely let the gold sit because the citrus really comes through later

[@SiminShaikh]

Yea I feel so. Because it does not yet smell like the ingredients listed at all ❤️

[@photogenic305]

I looooove that you have Al Ishq Gold on the front row 😊! I like the new bottles especially the black one. I love the earthy smell when it’s raining of what you were describing. I always enjoy your reviews! 🙌🏽👏🏽👍🏽

[@karinashurigina4951]

Love the yellow one, mango. Could be nice at winter too I think.. Have got it yesterday, used it and going to use today too. Becoming good friends I think. Thanks for great review, as always 🌹

[@DiDiLark606]

Can you do another video now that some of these frags have macerated for quite a while? Its been long enough now. I would love it.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Wow. You look like an Angel... Your eyes are so stunningly beautiful that I can't look away!! 💗💗💗

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey my hun ♥️ You flatter me babe. But just to let you know, I wear lenses. They are called Dolly Teressa by FreshLady. I’ve worn them for the longest time ever. My eyes are naturally a boring brown lol 👀

[@dosleemy]

great review!so which is a good summer fragrance for men?and also ajayeb black does it smell like qahwa?they both have coffee note

[@SiminShaikh]

Heyyyy! I barely do specific fragrances for men but I do have some good Unisex recommendations. Liam Grey and Blue are both amazing. Musamam White can also be worn by men. The Ajayeb Black does have a coffee note but a bitter coffee. The Khamrah Qahwa has Qahwa notes that have Arabian Coffee mixed with cardamum. They are very different from each other

[@dosleemy]

thank you so much.I preciate it.have ordered my liam blue!

[@harshvardhansahu4360]

I’m looking for a mango perfume and confused between lattafa yara tous and ajayeb dubai portrait. Which one would you suggest?

[@Detman101]

Hmmm...Butterscotch popcorn. Not at all what I expected...but I can still use it, as it's already on the way. This will extend my "Lush - Let the Good Times Roll" bottle at half the price.

[@SiminShaikh]

I love Lush but the prices are crazy here in the ME. I visited London and Lush is literally half the price there ❤ Its insane!

[@Detman101]

@@SiminShaikh They are moderately priced here. $40 for a HUGE 6 ounce bottle! Great value! Sorry to hear that they are so expensive in the ME. You're not missing anything though. I've been shopping at the souk in Kuwait downtown, you are definitely on the winning end of the bargains. There is sooooooo much more and sooooo much better to choose from with the local fragranciers. Quality of fragrances is sooo much higher than european and american fragrances.

No. Dubai is a clone for Mango kiss, and the black one is a clone for phantom by killian.

​@@EveryRosehasitsthorns.You got that really mixed up. Dubai Portrait is the green mango fragrance that some say is similar to Mango Kiss but if you want a dupe of Mango Kiss, get Mango Punch by Emir. The black bottle is called Ajayeb Dubai and it's INSPIRED BY Black Phantom but not a dupe of it.

Hi Hun, I love how you describe the perfumes. I was could see myself in the patio warm summer rain and that lovely scent of it after it hit the earth, it is so nice and fresh and yes, the lovely fruit. I was smelling it all and sitting here inside our house the winter sunshine :) It sounds like a very interesting perfume. I love your eyes and the beautiful eye shadow. I love your descriptions so much, I wish I could smell it right now. Another scent I would like to try, thank you dear Simin. With love from Tasmania where spring blossoms are blooming but winter decided to come back just to mess with us 🤣. Purrs from our cats to you as well😻😽❤

[@sbozalicious]

Been missing you Simz 😢. Ok that bottle is weird but very interesting 😂. So it's a summer perfume. So you say it's different from the other lattafa range, so it's not like kara, the gold one. Mmmm the black sounds very interesting for me

[@sandybeachlane1528]

I was expecting “fresh” for the ajayeb portrait. On my skin the musk stands out. Actually, as soon as I opened the box, I could already smell the musk. I’m not a fan of powdery smells and it’s the very mature sweet musk on this perfume. The mango scent stayed for a few minutes and then it was all musk and something incensy-smokey. It’s a very strong fragrance and thankfully I just used one spray. Maybe it is for colder climates and maybe it doesn’t suit the tropical climate. I sprayed this after shower expecting freshness and it’s not fresh to me.

[@arahia2553]
