MY ENTIRE MIDDLE EASTERN FRAGRANCE COLLECTION...RATED! TOP MIDDLE EASTERN PERFUMES AFFORDABLE!

Oud Bouquet is actually a dupe of many Arabian perfumes and oils that have been worn for years and years before Lancome ever made their version

[@kb6605]

Ok! Coming all the way from Norway, to say this😊 What a classy intro! For those of us who are obsessed and are watching a lot of fragrance content - it was a lovely start to the video. Now, talking about Yara- friends😂 We all got one, no? I just enjoy your content so much, because of your carisma and the lovely warm vibes you are sending out to the world. So thank you!❤

[@nikkib6706]

I'm so glad you're bringing more attention to Middle Eastern fragrances! There are so many hidden gems! Btw, jump on getting Bright Peach. Idk if it's getting discounted, but I had a heck of a time finding it... It's so wonderful, though! Reminds me of warm, fresh peach tea with loads of honey. Delicious!

[@alexisfagan9604]

My Top 3 Middle-Eastern Fragrances 1st - Al Haramain Junoon Noir, undoubtedly my favorite, nothing else even comes close. It's a gorgeous, ultra feminine, citrus floral fragrance with a heavy dose of vanilla. 2nd - Swiss Arabian Shahgaf Oud (great on it's own, but I especially love to use this one for layering) 3rd - Armaf Club De Nuit Imperial It has similarities to Delina/Delina Exclusive. Some may find the opening a little harsh, but, my goodness, that vanilla/rose drydown is heavenly.

[@pegah_pegah]

Khamrah and nevras are my favorite middle eastern fragrances ❤❤❤

[@debbietaylor9241]

I blind bought Baroque Satin Oud on your recommendation…and love it!! Funny, I didn’t like MFK Oud Satin Mood - it turned masculine on me whereas Baroque Satin Oud does the job.

[@joannathesinger770]

@@kara8911 My bottle of Rifaaqat was manufactured 7/2023 and it's perfect. My daughter's was manufactured 10/23...and my granddaughter is 11...and just said it smelled like gasoline. I'm thinking it needs to "mature" longer to get that gasoline smell gone. Soooo...look on the bottom of the box for the manufacture date and proceed accordingly.

I bought the Maison Alhambra Vert perfume. Not the type of fragrance I'd normally buy, but the reaction from you and Val convinced me. I really, really like it! Yellow florals and all! You should try the new Teriaq by Lattafa (made together with Quentin Bisch). It has the same kinda vibe as JPG's LaBelle (the OG). And I know you looooove that one! I love them both.

I am so glad I purchased Baroque Satin Oud after watching one of your previous videos. It is a fragrance that I would not normally wear and on initial spray I wondered what I was thinking .... oh, no way. However, when this fragrance started to dry down .... just drop the mic because wow this one is a beauty and a keeper for sure. 😊

[@mariacollettlife]

So glad it worked

[@ioannagerostathi708]

Hello Maria, love your channel 😊. Barakkat gentle gold is on the way, I am looking forward to receiving it. The Shaghaf oud tonka is a love for me, I saw this amongst Val's choices as well. I would also recommend junoon noir by al haramain as signature worthy one (supposed dupe for Dama Bianca). Cheers take care beautiful.

[@justreney6309]

I love listening to you 🌟 In my middle eastern fragrance collection I have around 40 perfume but I wouldn’t have any idea how to describe them. You doing that so great 🎉 well done for all your videos ❤

I recently bought 8 perfumes off of your middle eastern recommendations. I have oud satin mood, but i need to tell you Baroque satin oud is 99% similar! I will use this for layering.. thank you!

[@kumsonssamba8237]

I have no complaints about Kismet for women the longevity is amazing and it projects so well. On my clothes it’s it stay forever. It’s such a wired blend in my opinion but am loving it more and more.

[@ultraviolettas]

Have you tried Emir Mango Punch yet? I’d love to know how that compares to your other mangoes!

[@tdsollog]

I have a bunch of Middle Eastern perfumes, and… wow. No regrets so far. Paris Corner Emir When Soul Gets High is an incredible dupe for Kilian Black Phantom and Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh is an incredible dupe for By the Fireplace.

[@mariacollettlife]

That's great to know about when soul gets high...I LOVE black phantom!

[@tdsollog]

@@mariacollettlife Arrgh. I meant Back to Black. It’s also similar to Venom of Love by Navitus.

[@playsintraffic2]

I love the Bade'e al oud fragrance line (I don't have honor and glory yet). My favorite is probably Lattafa Karat which is a dupe of Tizianna Tirenzi Kirke (I have both). Casablanca is a great apple. Ameer al Oud is another love as is Khamrah and the new flanker of Khamrah. I don't get the strawberry milkshake from Yara either. I tend to wear it in the evening at bedtime. I have Mango Punch. Right now it's macerating. I have always wanted to try the Mango Skin from Vilhelm Parfumeries. I can't wait to hear whether you think they're similar.

[@SunnySpinelly]

Hey Hey You're so right about the Khair Pistachio being sold out everywhere. I found a small 1.7 oz bottle that comes with a miniature perfume oil on Amazon. I'm in love with your collection- I have quite a few #18, #16, #11, #9 (also the red one) and Bright Peach... How come you didn't mention the one with the atom?... lol I also have 3 others by the house of Lattafa: Qimmah, Wajood and Opulent Oud plus Oud Saffron and Amber Rouge from Orientica. I love Middle Eastern fragrances; the bottles and packaging; their price points. Keep them videos coming ❤ Peace and Blessings

[@cece5767]

I love shaghaf oud! Mine smells warm and decadent, chocolatey.

[@Skiroleta]

Not a middle Eastern perfume, but if you like Mango Skin, try Mango Mood by Phlur, it's a hair and body mist, soooo good!!! Very similar to Mango Skin with very good performance for a mist . I'm waiting for the spring to see how it does in warmer weather. (They also have a vanilla one that I didn't buy if that's your jam)

[@AvaLanche-j3o]

I do have and love kismet angel, as well as bright peach. They are worth having even though it took me some hunting down to get them I can't make my top 10 list cause today I like this best tomorrow I crave for something else. Modest Deux is good, Ive had it for awhile. I just got shaghaf oud, now I only wonder why I didn't get it earlier. I have barakkat amber eve instead of the one you have, but I like that one. I just got some samples of some you mentioned and few are still on my get-a-sample list.

[@debbietaylor9241]

My top is Shaghaf Oud layered with Shaghaf Aswad (Black bottle). Aswad turns into a soapy, rose and oud combo on my skin which is divine. Layered with Shaghaf Oud it’s amazing, I have Oud Bouquet, which I adore, but I don’t layer with that one - I’m too stingy for that! Barracat Satin Oud I layer with Lancome La Nuit Tresor. I know….I like bombastic fragrances. I’m in my 60’s and perfume seems to disappear into the ozone on my skin. I’m tired of buying expensive niche perfumes that work like a body spray on my skin. Thank goodness for Middle Eastern fragrances.

[@mariacollettlife]

I hear you! I am so loving the quality and performance of the Middle Eastern frags!

[@TODOMATIO]

Thank you I decided to order your number 1 recommendation. Hoping it will work for me. 😅

[@trendingvideos6651]

I had similar experience with Badee al oud I hate it wen I got it but then I let it macerate after some time it changed to this amazing scent❤ so don’t give up on it yet 😃

[@kara8911]

My favorites are Nasheet, and Ambre Eve by fragrance world (dupe for grand soir which I smelled in store and fell in love but couldn’t afford the real thing). I have probably 30 middle eastern perfumes and those are my top two. I just got December Vanilla (supposed dupe for Royal sugared patchouli). I don’t love it yet….and I love Sugared patchouli. It’s a bit short lived to me and a bit too honeyed and cloying. Going to let it sit for a few weeks and try again. Rifaqaat is on its way to me and so is Liam (super excited to try them both).

[@Shylade]

I have Amber Eve too and surprised how long it lasts. I have December Vanilla and Rifaquat coming tomorrow. Don’t love the vanilla yet?

Awww, khamrah was my SOTD, amazing staying power on my skin. I'm looking to adding Afnan's ornament to my collection.

[@MyKitchen12]

I blind bought several ME fragrances. They each have certain special spot. My favorite one is Barakkat Satin mood, but I only use it for special occasions. I also really enjoy Sondos and feel like that could be my signature scent. I also really enjoy Ishq al Shuyukh Gold. My most used is Nebras, it is just so versitile for layering. Club de Nuit women is clean and elegant and I can wear it anytime, anywhere. Shaghaf Oud I really enjoy but I am afraid to wear it out because I am not sure how others feel about the prominent oud, so I have only worn it at home for myself. I still haven't blind bought a perfume that I dislike but my biggest disappointment was Rasasi Qasamat Ebhar.

[@nataliakom8310]

I'm quite new to the fragrance game, I have a few perfume bottles that I love but I ordered a bunch of samples of Arabic fragrances and couldn't quite figure out why I didn't like so many of them. So I started looking into the notes and I realized that the thing that annoyed me was probably the oud. And I'm pretty sure that Arabic fragrances have some special kind of oud that I find unbearable. Some designer fragrances that I own and love have oud in them but I don't find it to be so prominent and cloying. All that to say that it is probably a good idea to use it sparingly around people :D

[@dawnstreeter8744]

I recently bought Ed Hardy perfume again (ikr😏) it's always been a fruity easy to wear nostalgic fragrance to wear. But I recently layered it with my Sarah Jessica Parker New York or NYC body oil and Zara Tous. Very tropical and fruity Mango magic

[@lisawithans]

Hi Maria I hope you are well! I just bought a few Middle Eastern fragrances . Mine are of course Khamarah, there is one from Paris Corner called Rafaaquat and I just got a beautiful one that smells like Bal D Afrique called Vibrant Vetiver delight and I love it! Thanks again. I am definitely into Middle Eastern with the prices sky rocketing of designer and niche!

[@mariacollettlife]

I agree! The prices have gotten INSANE on designer and niche!

[@joannathesinger770]

Isn't it interesting...I have about 30 Middle Eastern fragrances in my collection...not counting my Kayali because I think they are mainstream...and there is very little overlap with yours. I absolutely LOVE Haya, but it's a spring-summer fragrance, and quite enjoy Al Harrimain's L'Aventure Femme. I got Rifaaqat about 2 weeks ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I finally got a decant...waiting in my PO Box...of Babycat and will be comparing them this weekend. No matter how that turns out, I WILL be getting a backup bottle of Rifaaqat!!! I do have both Khamrah and Khamrah Quhwa, and enjoy them, but have been using my other fragrances more. I recently got Shaghaf Oud Tonka and like it...but it seems "light" compared to Velvet Tonka, which I also own. Ohhhhh...and another huge winner...is Al Harrimain's Amber Oud Tobacco Edition. It is a 100% dupe of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille!!! My daughter had TF, so we sprayed one wrist with one and another with the other...IDENTICAL!!!

[@mariacollettlife]

Yes, amber oud tobacco is excellent! Thanks for sharing your frags!

[@Annesilie]

I just got Rifaaqat by Paris Corner which is supposed to be a dupe for Babycat YSL, which I really wanted to try but it's almost impossible to find. 😭 For the moment though Rifaaquat is quite good, very cold incensy and tobaccoy, but dries down powdery and has a very skin-suede like feel to it. Check it out of it's your vibe. ❤ oh and the bottle? Absolutely poshy and has a very rich vibe.

[@NinjaBooKitty]

I'm still addicted to mine! 💖

[@tricaharvey8584]

Love that scent ❤

[@TheSillykelly]

Armaf Tres Nuit Valentina is the bomb! Supposedly a dupe for Delina Exclusif. Very long lasting, and just lovely.

[@tracysheppard2426]

Love the Arabic perfume content! I have Baroque Satin Oud, Niche Royal Rouge , Kaheela Lux - all recommended from your channel! But Pascal Morabito is not an Arabic perfume house - he is French.

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

Question, have you thought about getting some refillable perfume bottles to rebottle the perfume bottles that come broken? 😊 At least that way none of the juice will evaporate, and go to waste quicker. 😊

[@mariacollettlife]

That’s a great idea! Only Yara tous is an issue the other is just the lid. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@AlliBaba1234]

YES, most “inspired” fragrances are a “shell,” a “vibe,” a “reminder” of others. To whit, LDBS was one of the very first niche fragrances I ever tested, and I wasn’t impressed: it was just a “like,” and the performance was horrendous *on me*, so I put the tester away in a dark corner. Much later, I purchased Ansaam Gold and fell in love. When I saw reviews comparing it to LDBS, I thought, noooooo, not even close. Fast-forward several months, I was going through old testers and thought, I need to give LDBS another shot. The SECOND I sprayed it on, I was like, “I know this scent!!” And there it was, the connection between Ansaam Gold and LDBS- but not the entire perfume, just a piece of it, just, like, the background of the photo.

[@hatchikociko2827]

I have to agree with everyone talking about Rifaaqat - I'm still addicted and sad I won't be wearing it over the Summer. I'm still trying to work my way through Rare Tiffany and Lalique Amethyst. They just aren't what I had hoped they would be. But maybe this summer after they have sat all winter.

[@rachelolson6755]

I just got Lattafa Ra'ed Silver and I love it! If you haven't tried Awaan I think you would like it

[@StelmaDesigns]

My list of Middle Eastern favs would be Rumz Al Rasasi 9325 Pour Elle; I just call it Zebra since the name is so forgettable. Also Barakkat Satin Oud, Khamra and Rasasi Qasamat Rasana. After your video where you both talked about the new Shaghaff Oud Tonka, I raced to buy it, hated it so much I sent it back to Joma shop! To my nose it was a chemical lotion like mess. I know people will say it needs to mature in the bottle, but it was so bad to me I couldn't even consider retrying, lol :o). I thought it would be on your list?

[@DeannasWorld]

[@maurao6287]

great video!! I wonder if jasmin wisp a dupe of erba pura? is it different from amber gold ?

[@lsmithgoose]

😂 I have a cat called Yara which is what piqued my interest in the perfume, your comment on it was interesting. She was feral 6 months old and pregnant, we caught and rescued her, she gave birth to her kittens the day before the vet appt (we were opting for a termination as she is so young and already traumatised, but nature had other plans). She is the most wonderful beautiful baby, but she forgets how to use the litter tray sometimes, so your comment me chuckle. I adore that wondrous beautiful cat and her weird ways. I got a decant of Yara the perfume, gonna let it sit. Its wild to me how people say strawberry milkshake OR Cheriosa 62. I get NOTHING like that, its fluffy musky cozy slightly fruity powdery generic kinda idk Claire's Accessories kids perfume scent to me, but hoping it will change with maceration

[@zazilicious]

Great video 😊 Is Barakkat a 1:1 dupe for gentle fluidity gold ?

[@ambermename1370]

I have a love-hate relationship with ME fragrances. Some of the more viral ones, I've bought blind and disliked. My current favorites are Orientica - Velvet Gold and Swiss Arabian - Shaghaf Oud Tonka. It's starting to warm up here so I'm sure that'll change soon. I really enjoy your ME content.

[@TODOMATIO]

Ok so I bought gentle gold based on this review and had to immediately declutter it. To my nose I get in your face one flower accord. For the life of me I couldn't figure out which but the one it reminds me of is Plumeria!!! If you look it up its official name is Golden Aztec. Mystery, solved 😂 Now it's a beautiful scent, it's not that "gentle", at all and it's collection worthy. But wouldn't rank #1 for me. You have to love this sort of scent, just like you have to love or hate rose: the scent to me is very complex and is not my vibe, but I can see how one can love it! We all have different tastes.

[@Nadrielle961716]

I see myself waiting more and more for the ME dupes of the new western releases because I just can't with the prices these days 😂. The only thing I don't like about the ME fragrances is that they all only have 100ml bottles, which is a bit much if you already have a big collection. I don't have much in my collection though because I calmed down in the buying since last year 😅. I love Swiss Arabian Casablanca, I have Khamrah which I love on occasion, I have a Baccarat dupe, Ana Abiyedh rouge, Quad al fursan unlimited Lattafa which is perfect for summer, Choco musk, then Shaghaf Oud Tonka which I LOVE but have set aside for now to masserate in hopes on getting more longevity because it disappears on me in no time sadly. Oh I almost forgot Khair pistachio, the newest addition to my little ME collection, also not too longlasting on me sadly... So I don't have that many yet, my next purchase will probably be Forbidden Sugar or December Vanilla, both Paris Corner

I have recently bought Grise by Maison Alhambra, which is a dupe for Dior's Gris, from the privé collection. I think it's quite similar and long-lasting, overall good value for money. I smell mostly, rose, patchouli and citruses. I'm afraid to blind buy Arabic perfumes, as the typical ones are very oudy, as far as I've tested, too dark and smokey for me.😅

[@mariacollettlife]

I hear you!!

[@sanailmisthekey]

What do you think of the rest of the barakkat line. They have amber eve which is meant to be a clone of grand soir

[@ellieb37]

Where did you purchase Niche Royal Vert please? I am in the US

[@mariacollettlife]

Prrfumeonline.ca is where I got it and I believe they ship to the states but try trippletraders.com. I think they have it!

[@ellieb37]

Thank you so much!

How long did you let Eternal Oud macerate for? I've been giving Ameer Al Oudh about six months and its STILL super harsh.

[@MzV2C]

It took me almost a year to macerate !!!! The wait was so worth it!!!!!! It’s a sweet smoky vanilla people always ask if I’m wearing By The Foreplace. I use it to layer with❤️ so much that I have to make myself choose something else to wear! Back up bottle worthy

[@thatsmellsdivine]

@@MzV2C omg I just realized I wrote Ameer Al Oudh above and I meant Majd Al Sultan lol. I always confuse the two names! Ameer Al Oudh took awhile for me too (isn't it beautiful?!) , but Majd Al Sultan seems like it's NEVER going to fully blossom!

Your taste is similar to mine.

Do you know how rare Tiffany would compare to Versace yellow diamond?

[@donnabelle846]

It’s more comparable to Tiffany & Co. EDP

[@bets448]

I love Rare Tiffany so much but my friend says it's too floral for her

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

Lovely collection:)

[@mariacollettlife]

Thank you 🤗

[@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641]

I bought many and decluttered many too… not always a success for me unfortunately. La Fleur Bouquet by Afnan (Fleur Narcotique dupe) and Bade Al Oid Sublime are my current favortes. ❤❤ I liked Nebras until someone mentioned it smelled like a cheap candle. i can’t get over that now! 😅😂

[@nataliakom8310]

When I first smelled Nebras I thought it smelled like playdough with a synthetic chocolate scent. Still debating if I should keep it and let it macerate because I don't know if the scent will change. Might have to sell that one, I can't get over the playdough smell :D Cheap candle sounds just about right to me, I was so excited to get it and so disappointed when I smelled it.

[@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641]

@@nataliakom8310 I really think Arabic perfumes are overhyped most of the time unfortunately…

[@JulesDior]
