ALL THE BEST & WORST FROM MAISON ALHAMBRA | MIDDLE EASTERN PERFUME REVIEW | Paulina Schar

[@aprilann6011]

The gentleman on KZbin called "The Fragrance Show" has explained that "Kismet Angel" has been renamed "Kismet Magic" due to the name being similar to Killian Angel Shares and that maybe there is another lawsuit like they had with Tom Ford. The Fragrance Show stated that it smells exactly the same as Kismet Angel, which it is Kismet Angel. I just wanted you all to know. However, if no one hasn't purchased Kismet Angel, then by all means, purchase Kismet Magic.

[@heavenjb]

I prefer the Khamrah dupe…less alcohol more cinnamon! Ha

[@ElefantenDung]

kismet angel is my fav and def closer to angel share than khamrah and sharaf blend and la fede intoxicate. All 4 are nice though

[@YummyGummy77]

Kismet angel is closer than ALL THOSE?? just confirming before buying​@@ElefantenDung

[@vivu4327]

I purchased Reyna because of you! Definitely one of my recent favorites. The orange blossom and marshmallow are so lovely. It's a pretty girl scent without being overly floral. Very comforting

[@heavenjb]

Does it last and project? It’s in my shopping cart

[@vivu4327]

@@heavenjb I've only had it for a month, so still macerating/maturing. So far projection is pretty intimate about 1-2 feet. Longevity is 6ish hours on skin, but next day on clothes

[@heavenjb]

@@vivu4327 yes I’m curious ahout the marshmallow the most! Ha I want a marshmallow yum airy perfume ! Yes i let my khamrah macerate a month and it’s sooo good!!

[@vickirosato6206]

Would you say the khamra is a good scent for someone that loves sweet vanilla marshmallow please​@heavenjb

[@kuga7423]

to my nose, it smells like plastic doll

[@tanyadimartino1266]

I have 14 Alhambra fragrances Chants, Candid Tonight, both Montaigne(coco and vanille), Lovely Cherie, La Voie, Zeno, Boroque SO, La Rouge Boroque, L’Impressio, Grise(amazing), Anarch, Delilah,Reyna and I love them all but Boroque SO only bc I do not like that dna but it is beastly. I think Alhambra is one of the best dup house based on price, quality and longevity!

[@Zogca]

I gave the Chant away. From Alhambras, I love Rose Petals, Black Origami, Berlinetta the most. I have around 20 Alhambra dupes.

[@RUTUMA]

How's the projection and longevity of rose petals?

[@raquelrodriguez5672]

I was gifted baroque rouge for my birthday. And I have to say it does smell similar enough that you can get away with it. I really like it

[@klara19]

Hi Paulina, there is an Alhambra fragrance called Narissa Rose Musc which is a dupe for NR Musc Noir Rose. Since that perfume was so hyped last year I thought more people would be interested in that one but so far I haven't heard anyone talk about it. Would love to hear your thoughts on it! :)

[@NinjaBooKitty]

I am truly deeply madly in love and fully obsessed with Reyna! I literally bathe in it every day (I work from home and can wear as much as I want!). I really can't believe how much I love this scent profile. Looking for something just like it less powdery now. And I adore the Baroque Satin Oud, but sadly, I do get the band aid smell from all the 540 dupes and cannot wear any of them. 😭😭

[@isabellasitarenos9036]

My dear Paulina,I have all this fragrances from Alhambra,exept the dupe MFK oud.And yes, I have the same impresion about the Chant...it's amazing!!! The botle,the notes it's just 10/10.I buy 2 botles.PS-I buy many fragrances ,,because of you"😊

[@gloriavalentine581]

Tried Reyna and love it. If u try the Valera u would also love how the bottle looks great with Reyna n Delilah. All 3 bottles n scents compliment one another ❤

[@netazzz6815]

I like their Lovely Chèrie , Narcotic Flower and Florence - duping the discontinued OG Gucci Flora , a great summer scent!

[@arymhansie]

Paula, I have a few frags that smell the same but are under different brand names! It has been a waste of money buying these frags, Perhaps you could come up with a video showing similar smelling ones so that we do not end up having duplicates.

[@armandoandmariavivancos6393]

I love love love Infini Rose. So happy to have found a rose fragrance so rosy but not loud and annoying, lasts long and is so sofisticated!!!

[@thebodyloungechi]

Maison alhambra, Bright Peach, is one of my favorites. After maceration, the peach is so juicy and the spices are warm and cozy, but super sexy.

[@ChiliCrisp88]

Reyna is my single greatest discovery when it comes to middle eastern perfumes. Granted, I’ve not tried more than 25 so far, but I love Reyna. It’s really similar to Oriana but I find it to be her demure younger sister, not a 1:1 to me. My biggest issue with Reyna is that it barely lasts 10 mins. I normally never spray more than 3 sprays on anything but find myself spraying 10+ sprays, and still, she’s fleeting af. Oriana is way more present and stays on me at least 4 hours. Is yours like this, too?

[@helgapinczes2989]

I have Reyna too, and I find the performance with 6 sprays is moderate, so it was worth the money. On the other hand, my Club de Nuit Intense Woman is not a great performer, though everybody says it is beast mode. Well, for me it is not. I wonder what causes the differences....

[@user-qq4kq2tn1q]

Hi Pauli ! I love your fragrance reviews 😊 .. a lot of new interesting informations 😊 Do you know please of a good dupe for Cassili de Marly? Thank you so much 😉 Hana

[@chimbukachibangulula5635]

Paulie gracing my screen, such an honor 😊

[@PaulinaPerfumes]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BongiCekuse]

Bought Emper best dark oud and Delilah because of you and I’m happy with them. Will get Reyna next😁

[@dianavanhouten6071]

I have the narissa rouge, i think a perfect dupe, montaigne coco, i am on my second bottle, so candid, lovely dupe, to me 95% same as the OG, and the Chant, which is definately not my favourite.infini Rose, baroque satin Oud, so i could say i love Maison Alhambra

[@Cathy942]

I really like Berlinetta from Maison Alhambra. It is Byredo Bibliothèque dupe, a very good one! Highly recommended to try 😊

[@SavvySav529]

OMG! The rabbit hole you just sent me down, I LOVE Bibliothèque, but didn't want to spend hundreds on it. TfS!!!

[@kari0675]

I like Grise, a dupe for Gris by Dior, and Tenderina, Chanel Chance Tendre.

[@yopsiakay1519]

I love Grise too…. Getting a backup or 2 of it.and the tenderina is in my basket as we speak 😅!

[@Heather-nq4rv]

I love Tenderina! Such a great spring and summer fragrance (although I'll probably wear it anytime)! ❤

[@kuga7423]

tenderina smells so synthetic

[@JAY-su6oc]

Is tenderina long lasting?

[@tiffanykennedybeauty]

I absolutely love Kismet for Women for a Killian Good Girl Gone Bad dupe. It smells amazing and lasts all day for me.

[@PaulinaPerfumes]

Gonna get it!!

[@tiffanykennedybeauty]

@PaulinaSchar awesome, hope you love it! If you like the Killian Good Girl Gone Bad profile, I think you will. I'm sure your nose will be better at detecting any differences between the two than my amateur nose though lol

[@tanyadimartino1266]

Darn I had Kismet in my cart twice and put it back! Was not sure but now thinking I will have to get it.

[@virybak3414]

Hello Paulina! I would LOVE to hear your opinion about Al Harmain Junoon line ❤

[@caramel5133]

Clicked on this so fast!!😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@The0212helen]

Paulina, I'd love you to review the new Paris Corner Taskeen Caramel Cascade. it's supposed to be a Bianco Latte dupe. It's sold out every where! Please try and review if you can get hold of it!

[@laurenadcock1340]

I second this! I trust her word!

[@MynameisNOTthepoint]

If I’m not mistaken Magic is Angel repackaged. I did receive the Magic version and it lasts and projects on my skin.

[@perfumyerato]

Yes

[@hychan444]

Ciao Paulina ♥️ I’ve bought infini musk and infini rose based on your reviews. I love them🥰 and yes they definitely need to be sitting. And now I’m going to order The Chant as well. 😆 btw you look absolutely gorgeous in pink! Xxx♥️💋🫶🏻

[@cynthiamitchell2442]

Loved this video, I can hardly wait to see the other brands.

[@payelbiswas1801]

[@roxannesaltijeral1475]

Hi Paulina! I just love your fragrance reviews! Do you know of a good Dupe for Bianco Latte? ❤️🙏🙏❤️

[@PaulinaPerfumes]

No 😖😖 that paris corner isnt good

[@amberdawn8128]

Try Eclaire by Lattafa. I just got my bottle in the mail and immediately ordered a back up. I wanted 2 from this first batch. I find sometimes when fragrances get hyped (which this one already is and was just released this month), that sometimes it seems that later batches aren’t always the same.

[@dovana357]

Hi Paulina, are there two different kinds of caps for Delilah and Reyna? Mine are a different shape than yours if I am not mistaken. Thank you! 🙂

[@PaulinaPerfumes]

Nooo I am just being me and changing my caps around 😂😂😂

[@roselinasetiawati415]

I purchased Delilah today , and for make sure it's not a wrong decision, I play again n again all your videos which talked about this parfume 😂🎀

[@solenniak]

Baroque Satin Oud is the best dupe for MFK Satin Oud

[@oana-beatricepatrautanu869]

I really really want to know your opinion about theirs Byredo clones esp By Safron.

[@Nuckingfutsnix]

Somehow kismet angel was delicious and long lasting on me during winter. I layered it with D&G the only one one particularly cold night and got loads of compliment!

[@ldavis1187]

I bought Reyna like 2 months ago. I find that the scent is getting better as it macerates but can still smell a chemical or plastic scent. How long would you say to let it sit till it comes to full term?

[@ldavis1187]

Update: it now has macerated and I love the smell now. That chemical plastic smell has gone. I really enjoy it now. Took awhile but will gladly wear it this fall. I live in a very hot humid climate so I have to wait for the perfect weather.

[@sumaiyahsmith7813]

I gave my Chant away. I just couldn't. It doesn't go with my chemistry.

[@veronicadragusin7671]

Hello dear Paulina!!i have in my collection some of the perfumes you've mentioned (Baroque rouge, Reyna, Infini Rose) others are on my wish list (Gucci'dupes for instance). In any case my absolute favorite is Amber& Leather and nobody in the famale youtubers community talks about it but for me is such a sexy intriguing leather fragrance. In fact the next i will purchase will be CRAFTED OUD that is duping Thameen Carved Oud and Berlinetta...greetings from Italy❤

[@KiraJ717]

Thanks Paulina 😊

[@Lucimicu]

Because of you I ordered now Le Chant ❤

Just commented this. It's amazing! Top 5 fragrance for me.

[@ilonaaaa2330]

I’m waiting for Swiss Arabian! My favourite brand❤️

[@Kiwi_Christine]

I bought Baroque satin oud. It comes across very very powdery. Does maceration reduce that or is that how it’s meant to smell? I may have to gift it to someone.

[@xiinina]

hello paulina, i would love to see your opinion on Perseus and Perseus Exclusif by maison alhambra they are supposed to be duping pegasus from parfum de marly i've been so curious about Perseus especially because i saw people saying its alot smoother and more feminine than the og. i really trust your nose when it comes to dupes i've got a lot of your recommendations lately and they are all so good!!

[@valiumsurbanjungle2041]

I've been obsessed with Pegasus' scent, and my bf loves it on me too, so I have bought all of the dupes I could find (craze, phantom paragon, perseus and a local interpretation) are so far the smoothest (and cheapest) one is Perseus!! Have a great day

[@xiinina]

@@valiumsurbanjungle2041 thank u so much!! I’ve been so obsessed with Pegasus too since i tried a couple of samples before

I have a few Maison Alhambras, and most of them are pretty good, with the exception of Rose Petals. No, no, and no. Zero rose. All patchouli, and not smooth at all. Scratchy and screechy. Literally hurt my throat to inhale it. Literally threw it in the trash can.

[@audreynafula5247]

I agree with you 💯. Rose Petals has no rossy scent to it! I’ve let it macerate for a month now and still very harsh and scratchy 😏

[@bibishah7754]

Baroque satin Oud is amazing but the Chant in my opinion smells like a detergent smelling like syntetic flowers used for cleaning toilets. The only plus is the look of the bottle. The Chant in my opinion smells horrible and cheap. It is so horrible that you can’t even give it away or use it as airfreshner.

[@natmagu]

[@she_smells_good]

Paulina we REALLY need your thoughts on the new Burberry Her Elixir please🙏😭 I only trust you to make a successful blind buy! ☺️

[@vivu4327]

Lattafa Rave Now Women in the pink bottle is a good dupe to Her Elixir! It seems more sweet/strawberry/marshmallow than the OG but still has the airiness from the moss
