Which fragrances do you want updates on next?

[@GR-bf8zs]

Can you give us top 10 perfumes you're feeling and a layering combo (body mist) to compliment it!❤

[@AmiAbroad]

New subscriber here. Love your videos. I'm working my way through your videos. Just a suggestion..my current favorite Middle Eastern fragrance ( I have around 70) is Afnan's Mystique Bouquet, which is inspired by Parfum de Marly's Valaya. I've never smelled the OG, but this fragrance is Spring in a bottle. Peach, litchi, orange blossom, vetevier, vanilla. Gorgeous. Give it a try. It's sold out here in Germany, though

[@Zurri]

Ohh I had a look for that one, very expensive here omg! it must be good, 150 bucks, ill see if I can get a decant maybe!

[@chandracox6814]

I'm really over discussing body mists. Body mists always remind me of like Victoria's Secret and being a teenager. Why would I wear a body spray? They're for kids and really young adults. Like early twenties MAX! There seems to be a whole body spray crazy lately and I don't get it. Let's move on PLEASE!

[@Zurri]

Honestly I used to think that way as well, wore them a lot as a kid and as a teen, but after trying the BBW ones again recently I was pretty surprised at the quality? I feel like they have definitely upped their game and gone more for the "dupes" of popular scents and for a very affordable price that is a lot more realistic for people!! Some are definitely overly sweet but I don't knock all body sprays anymore lol.

[@MsMs-gh8xq]

my badee al oud sublime was efficient from the first week and apparently the girls who were next to me the day I wore it told me that since the morning they had only smelled my perfume but one of them hated it but I don't care since I love it

[@marywendt7]

Oh my God, my honor and glory is an absolute beast. It stayed on my clothing for hours, and hours ..I can't wear it because it's so strong.. it seems like the turmeric has taken over everything

[@Zurri]

Yes I think the turmeric is a point of contention!

[@SA-ec8hd]

You are absolutely right about Shaghaf Oud Tonka. I purchased because of the hype. I sprayed it on my arm, loved it and I’m someone who suffers from migraines, surely it triggered one! Worst thing is I could not wash it off, so I was stuck in it until the following day. :/

[@kellypickle]

Honor and glory is one of my favorites, but it does not last. Didn’t stop me from buying a second bottle because it is so delicious. Sublime the same My oud for glory is not mellow! Still waiting for that one But honor and glory and sublime are so good. I hope the longevity factor changes, but until then I have decants in my bag decants in my side table, decants in my car, etc..

[@lallydirar8583]

Ur sooo pretty, Sis ❤😊

[@AmiAbroad]

Don't give up on Bad'e Al Oud Honor and Glory! Mine lasts all day. I've had it for a good 6 months. Sweet and spicy pineapple with a yummy vanilla at the base. Love it.

[@Zurri]

Yes def gonna keep trying in the coming months!! xx

[@windflower2141]

I would love for you to do a goldfield and banks sampling! Really you could upload anything and I will watch, love your personality and Mr. Zurri too

[@Zurri]

Yes that one I plan to do this month!!

[@lizziakemi2763]

Ahhh thanks for these updates! Especially on the Honor and Glory! Mine is sitting in her box, chillin for now 😂lol Im so glad Im not the only one who didn't get this pineapple bomb everyone hyped it to be. To me I get the same notes you get and the longevity is also terrible 😢. I'm kicking myself for not getting Amethyst, it was between that and Glory but I'm glad to know the others will get better whenever i do get them.

[@mediocrebankai]

I also didn’t get the pineapple upside down cake everybody was going on about, glad I only got a decant!

[@lizziakemi2763]

@@mediocrebankai Ah yeah it was a let down, like I got pineapple for .006 seconds and then cinnamon took over 😆 But yeah not much of an investment loss there with the samples lol I try to find decants but I've had reasonable luck blind buying (I research obsessively) this is probably only my second semi fail. I will def be trying to find more decants for stuff going forward tho.

[@kara8911]

Same here. I wish I hadn’t gotten it. Mine has been sitting for a couple months now and still smells the same.

[@Zurri]

I'm not giving up on her!! I'm gonna give it some more time and whip it out when it gets cold here

[@kara8911]

@@Zurri you’re brave. Ha! I went through the winter with it and never wanted to wear it but would try it again every couple weeks. It’s so masculine to me (which I generally am all for) but in a basic sort of overwhelming manly scent. I don’t know. I wish I got what others say they get.

[@missa7297]

My honor and glory stays all day on me and I’ve only macerated it for about 2 weeks

[@mostarticaltravels6532]

Been waiting for this, I’m most interested in the badee Al oud, how good is that compared to it was in beginning?

[@biscuitninja]

Can you please post the website for the Maison Alhambra clones? I can't seem to find the smaller clones and I have A heartburn time purchasing 100 ml and up bottles bottles.

[@mediocrebankai]

If you can get your hands on it there and you like Angels Share, Kismet Angel (Magic now bc legal stuff) is a 99% dupe to my nose and I got it on amazon for 30$ its so yummy. Also strong rose notes always give me a sharp headache, I liked Ansaam Gold alot but couldn’t get over the headache the rose note gave me 😢

[@Zurri]

Yes!! I have seen that one a lot I'm trying to get it for a good price, I think because its so hyped its a lot more expensive over here 😭

[@ViolentKittens]

Loving Shaghaf Oud Tonka although I’ve not had comments on it from others yet, I’m loving it as a comfort scent so far and thankfully no migraines which I’m prone to eek! Hopefully one day you can wear it again. Your review also got me excited about my Sublime as it was weak to start too and I’ve been letting it sit a while. It was a touch stronger when I sniffed it the other day! I have Rouge Now too and it is indeed an interesting one.. when I first put it on I’m like meh but then I keep getting lovely whiffs of it.. love your description of it.. very apt!

[@tina_smt]

Love the updates! I have Shaghaf Oud Tonka but haven’t had time to try it out yet. I hope that I don’t have the same happen to me, that’s happened to you. Did you ever do a video on how you ended up in Australia?

[@kristinmary4025]

Oh, that would be nice for our story time how you got down under😅 I keep imagining you met your man in college maybe studying abroad or vice versa, fell in Love and he took you home with him💞

[@Zurri]

Hahaha maybe we can do a video on this! It's not a very interesting story, basically we met online!

[@wazzabanzook5028]

Lattafa velvet oud is soo good after 2 months of maceration , it’s like a mix of Tuscan and ombré leather, the dry down is literally sweet sugary raspberry leather

[@Zurri]

yes its on my list! I'm trying to get it for a good price here xx

[@wazzabanzook5028]

@Zurri I didn't like it when I first got it but revisited it after 2 months and still didn't like the opening because it has a citrus note in the opening which don't think the citrus leather combo is something I like, but the drydown on skin is amazing and lasts and lasts , only a good scrub in the shower will take it off

[@wan]

How do you feel about Intro Aftermath today? Im trying to get after effect too but it doesnt ship to me either, if Aftermath isnt close enough then id rather wait.

[@KimRRH]

I appreciate the honesty. It helps me save $$$. Shaghaf tonka smells like I was playing in a body powder factory. Not a fan!

[@nez82]

@zurri Bath and Body Works Australia is having a 44% off sale today! 4th April 😉😁

[@Zurri]

it sucks the sprays are still so much!! also they haven't even shipped my order from mid last months sale yet 😅

[@nez82]

@@Zurri yeah they haven’t shipped my candles either! 🙈 the sprays aren’t the cheapest they can be today but the body washes are at a good price! I’m tempted to try all the news scents that we’ve gotten here. I’ll always use body wash 😉😂

[@sharonlee2005]

I did not love sol se Janeiro 59 but it became a love layered with the body butter of 59.

[@wazzabanzook5028]

I got Shagaf Oud Azraq coming , blind bought because everyone is raving about it. Now I’m worried 😮

[@Zurri]

I think most people love it!! I wouldn't be too worried but you can always decant or resell and im sure someone will want it! lol!

[@Zurri]

oh you said Azraq, I haven't tried that one! Let me know how it is 😅

[@kristinmary4025]

Hey Zari, oh my goodness I love Tropidelic I got the perfume travel size from somebody selling it and love it, but it does not last I’m sure the body spray is even less but I did layer it with Soleil Blanc from Tom Ford smell beautiful for a bit, but I’ve gone nose blind. It’s funny DamaBianca didn’t wow me when I got the sample but went back to that sweater a couple days later and loved the way it smelled. The day I sprayed it I did go heavy with the little sampler like right on the shoulder of the sweater So I can test it throughout the day. ended up ordering a bottle. Can’t wait for it.

[@kristinmary4025]

Yara is my number one bedtime sent. I do not get strawberries and cream I don’t get coconut I just get a sweet powdery awesome bedtime sent and I’d love it I’m on my third bottle since I discovered it almost 2 years ago maybe a year and a half ago.

[@kristinmary4025]

Oh, such a bummer about the Oud Tonka giving you a headache it’s become one of my favorites. My hubby isn’t a huge fan and either way you can’t mess with anything that gives you a headache migraines are the worst. I suffered with migraines my whole life. This one just happens to not give me a migraine.

[@kristinmary4025]

Sublime sounds really nice. I might have to check that one out. Let us know if you have ever do a live. It’s hard not to keep commenting. I hope it’s not becoming too much.😅

[@Zurri]

Sublime def worth it I think it's a super safe blind buy, luckily the body lotion of tropidelic lasts so for now that is good for me!! haha no I love the feedback!!!

[@sofsera]

If you like dama Bianca you should get junoon noir from Al haramain it’s a dupe but lasts longer.

[@truebrown7059]

Super fun video 😊You look gorgeous 😍 What eyeshadow are you wearing?

[@Zurri]

Thank you!! I'm using the Patrick Ta Major Dimension II Rose palette! It's what I've been using for basically all of my videos for the last month or so 😁 the matte and metallic formulas are like butter and so easy to work with but spendy!!!

[@joannamora8568]

Can you explain what do you mean when you say a perfume is 'indolic', please? I'm very curious...

[@Zurri]

When I point it out in a fragrance I’m usually referring to an overt mustyness, overripe, a decomposing smell. It can be great in a lot of scents to me that have a right amount of floral to balance it, but usually I’m using it when I’m smelling it too strongly to the point of dislike. Probably not the “right” way to use the term but it helps describe when I’m smelling it too much.

[@annestylez]

I also love 71! It smells like caramel popcorn. I also smelled 62 or 61 (can’t remember the actual number) I feel that it smells artificial to my nose. What’s are your thoughts on 61? ❤

[@chimbukachibangulula5635]

This is great

[@lizziakemi2763]

Unleashed Perfumes is a small dupe house and I tried a sample of their Side Effect dupe and it was very very close and idk if their frags need to "sit" also but if so I can imagine it'd be almost 99%+ spot on. Dunno if they ship to Australia but thought I'd throw it out there

[@Zurri]

oh no small dupe house in the US normally means a very expensive ship to Australia 😭 (actually I checked and they don't ship outside the US 😭) sounds amazing though!!

[@lizziakemi2763]

@@Zurri ohh dang, sorry!🥲 Australia really gets no (or at least reasonably priced)shipping love in retail I see. I hope you can find a good available dupe!

[@jenniferburton1395]

Amythest smelled like roses and motor oil on me 😂😂😂

[@Zurri]

Ok I've seen that a lot and luckily I don't get any oil!! 😅

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

Sakeena is supposed to be a dupe of V Canto Stricnina.

[@chandracox6814]

Of course it's annoying when a good fragrance gets hyped and then everyone and their mom wears it. But I will never not wear something I enjoy just because it's popular. People will get over the BR540 DNA eventually but I will always love it. I was a fan of it years ago, well before it got hyped up to oblivion. But go ahead and stop wearing it if you want. One less person wearing it is fine w me! I have never once smelled this "in the wild" (in public 😂). But I wouldn't care if I did. Anyway, to each their own, I guess. 🤷🤦😂✌️

[@Zurri]

Hahaha I was definitely being colourful and silly when talking about BR540, I didn't care enough for it in the first place so not really "ruined" for me in that way, you should definitely wear it if you still enjoy it! That is the most important thing 😎

[@wazzabanzook5028]

I find Bvlgari Wood Neroli way better than neroli portofino and lasts longer too

[@Zurri]

Is it super masculine? I can try a decant anyway if I can get one!

[@wazzabanzook5028]

@Zurri more unisex , dries down to sweet woods. it's available in alot of places so you can try it out I guess. but it's beautiful. or atleast I find it to be 😅

[@chandracox6814]

Wow I'm so glad I watched this. I will be passing on Velvet Rose now. I cannot stand a dominant patchouli fragrance. I don't want to smell like a hippie, even though I have hippie tendencies. 😂😂

[@Zurri]

Idk I'm starting to think I maybe got a weird batch? I feel like everyone else smells something so different 😭

[@chandracox6814]

​@@Zurriwell shoot! I mean, it's less than $20 bucks so I might as well give it a go. It's around $17 on Amazon rn.

[@kellyhona241]

I really dont know how women can wear untold, it smells straight up masculine to me.

[@marywendt7]

Not happy with the Shaghaf Oud Tonka. To me, it smells like almond scented baby powder. Nauseating.. I agree with your mom. It smells like old lady .. getting rid of mine..

[@lennyball3885]

I couldn't agree more. I waited almost 2 months to have mine delivered, and it was so disappointing. It's a very powdery almond.. I'm gonna let it macerate for a while and hopefully it'll become more sweet and rich. Or I could layer it with a vanilla body spray??
