i almost bought this or lattafa's kingdom for her because i was curious about the similarities to silk santal, but saw pretty divided reviews on both in terms of how close they are. then khair felicity got teased and i decided to just wait for that. aroma concepts has been teasing it for a couple days now so it should be available pretty soon!

I think they will be releasing Felicity in tomorrow's live Friday January 3rd. Also just want to put the word in for Kingdom because it is amazing! Does not smell like it's a dupe for anything but it's a beautiful ultrafeminine all occasion ethereal fragrance. It has extremely high reviews because of that. I feel like it's a very safe blind buy
@aleishabudgetbeauty17 күн бұрын
That one will probably be spot on!!!! Neither Kingdom or Cotton Abyed are exact dupes for sure. Close family members but not twins.

IT RELEASED. They had a live for Felicity $34 and a bundle of Cotton Abyad + Felicity for $40 with free shipping. Just keep checking for their lives, they will prob do it again tonight.

Okay this one sounds like something I would love because I love both mod vanilla and silk santal! I just can’t stand how big and bulky the bottles are of these middle eastern brands. It actually keeps me from buying them because I just don’t have the space to store them. I wish they would make smaller versions.

I fell in love with Cotton Abyed not really caring if it was duping anything. To me its a lot like Silk Santal, but I never have liked Mod Vanilla, it doesn't work with my skin chemistry. I do just love it for what it is though, it's a beautiful fragrance on its own. I have tried Kingdom as well but I like Cotton better.

Seems like the middle eastern fragrances are where its at...their bottles are pretty and they seem to do some good fragrances. I might have to see about picking this one up. ❤
@aleishabudgetbeauty17 күн бұрын
They def took over when they started duping at a fraction of the price. Sometimes I long for them to go back to creating their own unique scents, but it’s also important to provide more affordable alternatives for everyone. 🫶

Thank you for another great video! I truly appreciate your honesty and detailed reviews of fragrances. I'm trying to decide between Mod Vanilla and Cotton Abyed for spring, but Mod Vanilla is skirting that line of too sweet for me right now. From your perspective, is Cotton Abyed more, less, or the same level of sweetness as Mod Vanilla?
@aleishabudgetbeauty14 күн бұрын
Ooo good question! I’d say they are pretty close. Mod Vanilla is ever so slightly sweeter but not too much. I appreciate you!

I bought mamlakat then mod vanilla and while sniffing my collection I immediately saw the likeness between those 2. That might explain the white pompom to remind us of A.Grande's world 😅🤔 Never smelled silk Santal thought. I will grab Khair Felicity for sure 😌

Hi Aleisha!! I hadn't heard of this one, and I don't like Silk Santal at all, however this sounds different enough to give it a try.. I'm always a sample girl because for me it's all about just getting to sniff it to satisfy my curiosity and to not have FOMO 😅😅 I had smelled both of the Mod fragrances in store and thought they were pretty nice.. 😊 It's very helpful to hear these comparisons, thank you! 🙏🏼🥰

I am way more into sample sniffing lately. It’s so fun to just get our noses on everything! Isn’t it annoying how the PR people acted like silk santal is the best fragrance to ever exist?!

I can't sleep and I'm just there to say this. It's funny that the perfume name means white cotton in English, but I don't know if the smell matches the name. (In reality, I'm just so proud of myself for remembering the few things I've learned in Arabic that I had to say something 😂)

@@aleishabudgetbeauty Honestly, nobody can blame you on this one. There's no way you could have known this because I didn't find any information on the meaning and the story about the perfume. I think that this is marketed for Western audiences, so they didn't bother to give you more information about the name and its meaning. It's pronounced qutun (cotton in English) and AbyaD (white in English) 😊

Oh you are too precious. You deserve all the subs. I have the most unsophisticated nose of anyone I know. I love fruity, beachy, vanilla, coconut. Candy. Thats all I know. Pretty sure I dont like any floral but then I read some notes of ones I like. I love Kayali vanilla. I love sol Janerio 62. Commodity gold but besides those its literally ridiculous. Taylor swift wonderstruck, jlo live, jlo live lux, jlo glow, Ariana (I have a couple), Justin beiber GF 😂, I have a few Britney Spears like WHY do I love perfume by artists? 😂 so tacky kinda. Maybe they all make unsophisticated scents that smell like candy? I loveeeed gap perfume like dream and heaven when I was a teenager.

I love mod vanilla. It's always been a favorite. I finally got the cotton abyed and I couldn't believe how much they're similar. If I pair it with the Cheirosa 40 body butter it last ALL DAY LONG. So gorgeous. I will keep it in my collection forever. I get compliments all the time and it smells expensive ❤
