I'll let you in on a not so secret "secret". Those brands who "worked so hard" on their "original" fragrances are absolutely not giving a crap about you. So little do they care about us that if you knew what it costs to make your average high quality fragrance (on average $6 for a 100ml bottle and that includes the price of a world renowned perfumer to come up with the actual scent) compared to the disgustingly inflated retail price they charge, you'd understand why Middle Eastern brands can afford to make high quality fragrances, with great performance in high quality (usually) packaging. They're still making a killing on each bottle. Designer and Niche companies know that perfumery is #1 in cost to retail markup...in 1988 The LA Times did an article about how a $100 bottle of perfume only cost the company about $1.50 to make. AND THAT WAS 1988. It's so much worse now!! So, please, don't say how unethical clones are. We all know who's REALLY UNETHICAL. 😳
@bb0yTheory2 ай бұрын
right lmao. all these designers and (big) niche brands aren't as ethical as you think they are. if you REALLY want to support people who work hard, go purchase from actual indie niche brands. don't understand the hate towards dupes when it comes to fragrances at all

Where I live, a 10ml decant of the Yum and a 100ml of the Khair are the same price. Let that sink in. This is no time to play brand snob. It’s ME fragrances all the way for me

Hey fellow Jersey Girl! Love your reviews! I didn’t care for Yum Pistachios but I’m really curious about this fragrance. I just bought Rifaaqat and was blown away. It’s so good. Side by side to Babycat it’s near identical. Just got 2 compliments in One day…really impressed with this house. They’re putting out great fragrances…

I have khair and affection by lattafa. Khair is much closer to the kayali version with the freshness . Affection by lattafa is a creamier lactonic version of the kayali. I prefer the khair one for spring and summer and can go ham because it's cheaper. Affection is still in perfume jail waiting for fall to use her. Good video.

I just spent a nice coin on Kayali so yeah I’m testing a few scents. The Yum pistachio is my lease favorite. It’s something about how all Kayali fragrance smell better layered. The scent reminds me of soap from a hotel. It’s not bad it’s just….I’m glad I bought my own. I might try the middle eastern version simply because I’m loving their fragrances as of lately. They project have longevity and fit my pockets. Thanks for the suggestion

The soapy scent from Yum Pistachio is most likely from the Lily of the valley and aldehydes note which is not present in Khair. Very often if you see Lily of the valley in a fragrance, it's going to have a 🧼 smell

I think upon spraying both they smell similar. when you really compare them the khair is a more fresh take on kayali. I find kayali is more creamy more whipped cream to my nose. However it’s a really good dupe tho. My only gripe with kayali fragrances is in the beginning when you 1st get them the longevity sucks. It only gets better when you let them macerate. Cause after 3 months the kayali got really strong and I find that to be with all her fragrances.

Nah, I fell for all the influencers saying how good Pistachio Khair by Paris Corner is and I packed it right back up in the box to take to UPS to return. It STANK like bathroom cleaner and chemicals. Not at all gourmand or sweet or yummy. I let it sit on my skin for hours to let it settle and all it did was give me a headache. Terrible. Avoid at all costs if you want something sweet and dessert-like. It is NOT that.
