BEST MIDDLE EASTERN FRAGRANCES |TOP 16 OF MY FRIENDS 50 BOTTLE COLLECTION OF MIDDLE EASTERN PERFUMES

[@bravog01]

Khamrah is actually the dupe for Dates Delights from The House of Oud. The bottle makes you think it’s Angels Share, but the prominent dates note is hard to ignore because it’s just tooooooo amazingly beautiful.

[@mariacollettlife]

Oh, that's great to know! I don't think it smells anything like Angels Share (other than the sweet and spices) good to hear what it does smell like!

[@heavenj7]

I just got it and I love it! I smell like French toast!!

[@newsystem420]

I'm wearing it now in the winter, and I love the natural smelling cinnamon. It's not too overpowering. Beautiful bottle too✨

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

What's better? Khamra or Kismet Angel?

[@bravog01]

@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens They’re different perfumes. Kismet is like a spicy boozy caramel apple and Khamrah is like syrupy cinnamon dates. The dates really changes the entire perfume. Both gorgeous and worth having. Kismet is more the dupe of Angels Share.

[@kara8911]

Love the way you two interact and the genuine excitement over perfume.

[@mariacollettlife]

Thank you so much!!

[@Jenjen2021]

I used to absolutely hate Arabian perfumes, but after watching your videos, I've come to love them! Please bring this lady back - she's the perfect addition to your channel.

[@TheEagleslover]

Hey Val and Maria! This was so much fun. I agree with you both that some of these can stand on their own although they are considered dupes. Some just don’t but others are amazing. I like that a segment of the population can enjoy these scents without selling their kids. Lol! Maria, please have bring Val back so we can see the rest of her collection and maybe some of her jewelry as well.

[@mariacollettlife]

Yes, I would love to have her on to share all of the others!! She has an amazing collection!!

[@kaoeye]

@@mariacollettlife it's be great to see.

[@mamoni7703]

So cool to do a video on these mysterious Middle Eastern fragrances. Your friend Val is amazing. She’s so organized with her thoughts and loved her passion for her scents ❤️. Thanks, Maria, for having some of your family and friends enlighten and entertain us.

[@mariacollettlife]

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed!!

[@mariacollettlife]

Will do!!

Just "found" your channel !! Really enjoyed you & Val ! I am a 100% fragrance addict with over 1000 fragrances in my collection. I wear "what I like" whether it's for men or women....so your channel fits right in to my vibe. Thanks !!!

I’m obsessed with middle eastern frags and there’s several of these I didn’t know about and I’m so excited about!! Loved this video!!! Soooo helpful!

[@mariacollettlife]

Glad to hear there were a few new ones for you to explore!

[@tdsollog]

The coffee one and the mango one will be going on my wish list for sure.

[@kaoeye]

Agreeed

[@mariacollettlife]

They are both fantastic. They are on my wishlist too!!

[@edithobrien7118]

On of the best videos on Arabic scents I've seen on you tube and I've seen a lot of them, so many not yet hyped up scents that others don't show.

[@mariacollettlife]

Wow, thank you so much!!

[@MoonBeamsChild]

I enjoyed this video so much. I have Khamrah and Kismet Angel. Love them both and I agree with your observations. Kismet is better than Angel's Share and Khamrah stands well on its own. I'm wearing Khamrah right now. 💜

[@KaliKali-hv9bt]

I want to try those two too.❤😊

[@tekoa38]

I just ordered, the mango fragrance. I know it will be a love. ❤

[@mariacollettlife]

Thanks so much!

[@marypb8047]

I received my bottle of Khamrah (blind buy) and I was disappointed! To me it’s very masculine and not sweet at all. For a masculine fragrance it’s nice, but i can’t see how this could be classified as unisex. I can’t even see how people think this is in the same ballpark as Angels Share, which is incredible to me. I will keep it in its box -lovely btw. And let it take a multi month nap and cross my fingers! If it still gives me masculine vibes I’ll pass it along.

[@zona999]

I've watched the two vids with Val on ME perfumes multiple times. You two are so great in describing and curating good perfumes for viewers and are just youtube gold as a duo!!! More please!

[@maryammonroy1435]

Khambra is definitely one of my favorite fragances in my entire collection wich is pretty big 😅 also Khamrah Qawah amazing fragances with enormous protection and long lasting scent.

[@Roni62]

Great job ladies! But, please remind people, with middle eastern fragrances, you have to let them massorate for a few weeks before you wear them and spray the atomizer 8-10 times to clear out any settling in the shipping process.

[@mariacollettlife]

Excellent advice!!

[@Roni62]

Exactly

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Love me some Middle Eastern fragrances. Khamrah is one of my favorites for the holidays. I like French Coffee as a room spray but not so much as a personal scent. I like to layer Choco Musk with fruity and floral fragrances to add depth.

[@christineriche6752]

You should try Choco Musk the oil. I got some for my nieces and they get loads of compliments on it. I layer it with Angel Muse♥️

[@mariacollettlife]

Thanks for the idea!

[@birthinfluenceembrace]

French coffee Is actually great to layer with Intense Cafe 😊

[@itsthekurlzzz]

Stop having Val on!!! I absolutely love her perfume taste (besides oud) and I order way to much perfume after every collab!!! Great show Maria and Val! ❤

[@mariacollettlife]

Yes, let me know what you think!!

[@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods]

Thank you for this video. It's always nice to know about possible options. So far, the few Middle Eastern fragrances I've bought have been very good. And Considering PDM, MFK, TF and Kilian prices, I wouldn't mind buying a few more dupes. I could easily buy 5 or 6 full size bottles of different fragrances for the price of one expensive niche one.

[@RoqueExclusives]

Yes! Even though it’s not 100% the same scent, for the price I’m ok with some dupes.

[@kaoeye]

And several of these seem unique in their own ways ...for a fraction of the cost!

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Khamrah is translated as cocktail or alcohol beverage in Arabic. The same aspirated "kh" sound applies to Fakhar also, like "fa - har". When I first started wearing it the cognac note overpowered for the first hour. After a year on the shelf, it's pure sweetness and definitely longer lasting.

[@mariacollettlife]

I agree, it definitely has morphed!

[@elissashams]

I'm an Arab speaker, and Khamra actually means (Wine/Booze/Sherry/fermented drink) ❤

Ansaam gold is the best dupe ever for Oriana, better than dupe houses because it lasts so long! Its not a dupe for love dont be shy. I have both and its closer to Oriana. Also lattafa nebras is a great dupe for the first billie eilish perfume, so delicious and sweet. I also love shaghaf oud as a dupe for lancome oud bouquet 💐 ♥ that 1 is so magical. Those are my top 3!! All 3 are a must.

Guldurnit girls, made me go and buy Kismet Angel before your little review of it was over, lol!!!! I want so bad to try the AH Amber Oud Tobacco because I love Tobacco Vanille but I'm afraid of the amber. So many fragrances now use ambroxan and I cannot wear it - it overtakes every fragrance and smells like a very unpleasant and pungent wood on my skin - it's heartbreaking as so many have this now...... I don't know, maybe I'll try. I can always gift it if it doesn't work, right? :) Thank you for coming together to talk about these fragrances, very fun video!

I didn't think Choco Musk lasted either, until I sprayed my living room soft furnishings with it and smelled it the next morning. I prefer French Coffe though. The Al Haramain Tobacco edition is currently too clove forward for me (even though I love cloves) but I haven't had it long so I'm hoping it changes a little. Tobacco Vanille isn't clove heavy.

[@mariacollettlife]

Thanks for weighing in!

This was an amazing video! I immediately jumped on Triple Traders but of course the mango one and Angel Nova dupe were sold out. I did pick up the Oriana and Oud Satin Mood ones. Enjoyed you both!!

Well it was in stock so I have that and Min Yasbahak on the way from Triple Traders. You should really both get a commission!!

Purchased Reyna pour femme by Maison Alhambra (Lattafa sister company) and it’s a spot on dupe of PDM Oriana. It’s strong and lasts forever. The best part is that I paid $32 for a 100ml.

I purchased Reyna today as well I can't wait to smell it. I have ansaam gold I want to compare them both. I live in UK what I find the ansaam gold price goes much higher then a few months ago from £30 to 50/70 or even 100. Madness
