Oh Sis!I am so glad you enjoyed it! I can't express enough how much fun I had filming it and crackin' up myself along the way! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kristinmary4025]

Hey, December vanilla has gotten even better over the last few months and although I do have and like sugared patchouly, I often prefer December vanilla. My hubby who usually doesn’t comment on my fragrance as complimented me while wearing this a few times . Today I had to force myself to take a break from my newest obsession Ciao Bello Pistachio and pulled Nolita Bond#9 from way in the back of my collection and got two compliments well on the road for work today💋❤♥️❤️ My favorite Middle Eastern is Oud Tonka & essence of Casablanca both are for lifers. I can’t forget Khamrah another love and stand on its own. I have Angel share and they’re very much different fragrances. Another great video, I love hearing about your ME faves.❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

I am so glad you loved this video but you do know, Kristin, that I only shared the best of the first half of 2024 and at that did exclude some of the fragrances you mentioned as I have talked about them on the channel so very much! 😂😂😂😂😂 like who in the Fam does bot know that Shaghaf Oud Tonka is a lifer for me! 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ I am loving that you enjoy my precious Nolita which was my #1 top Bond No 9 until one of the new ones that were launched this year took its place! 😂😂😂😂😂 The Western Niche and Designer fragrances edition is coming soon! I picked up several of the new in 2024 Bond No 9 fragrances so will have to do a new collection and ranking video soon! Thanks so much for being here! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for being such a wonderful guide thru the hype mine field of fragrances. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looking forward to your further guidance in the coming year.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello and OMG! I am so happy to hear Emaan was your first because that makes you an OG fragrance content Fam member! I am pretty sure that was my first ME haul!!!

[@erinkarl5731]

Hi Arahi! Thanks so much for the sweet shoutout - it was so fun to make that connection with you which really started our friendship! ❤❤❤ ❤❤Yay for Middle Eastern Thursday's and this great review of top ME fragrances for this year! I have gotten so many of these based on your recommendation that I continue to enjoy: Khair Pistachio, December Vanilla, Pear Potion, Mango Punch, Ajayeb Dubai Portrait, North Stag Expressions IV Quatre, Asad Zanzibar, Le Bois de Vanille, etc. I also have Qawafi, which I haven't smelled in a long time since it was a bit rough around the edges before - I'll have to go back to it now that it has sat for quite some time. So many great finds, and so fun to look back on them! It will be interesting to see what 2025 brings us in the Middle Eastern world, as I'm sure there will be some great new finds!

[@ArahiWorld]

It's so fun to look back on all our favorite finds! I'm already excited to see what 2025 has in store! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ Now Erin.... you do know there's a whole other list coming of incredible finds because in this video I just covered the first half of 2024 for the most part! Oh and I have more new 2024 releases that I have not had a chance to share with the Fam yet! So keep that seat belt on! 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@erinkarl5731]

@@ArahiWorld Oh my gosh, I can't wait for the 2nd half, since I love these roundups, and of course I love hearing about all the details of the new releases! Always looking forward to what you have for us next! ❤❤❤❤

Hey my strong and beautiful Sis! I am so excited to share this list with you and the Fam! I had so much fun filming this one because it brought back so many good moments we've all shared in this journey! Thank you for being here! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@charlottemilam2733]

I can't remember if I told you that I got P C Oud Holidays and layered it with ajayeb dubai portrait. I think it's awesome. Let me know if my nose is broken whenever you have time. This was a spectacular year-end review. ❤

[@ArahiWorld]

OMG Charlotte no you did not! That sounds like fire!!! Must try that.... thanks so much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@yopsiakay1519]

Arahi! Beautiful line up! Some of my favorites were mentioned here, and there’s a few I intend to pick up too. Vintage Castle is one I’m getting as I love patchouli! It’s inspired by Vertus Sole Patchouli, if I’m not mistaken. I’m so tempted to get the Vertus, but I’ll blind buy the Vintage Castle first, and take it from there😅😅! Wishing you and your family a fabulous, joyful, peaceful and love filled Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤!

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello hello! Hope you are already having the Best Holiday everrrr...😂😂😂❤️ Thanks so much for letting us know about the Vertus because I did not know and have never tried it! If it smells like Vintage Castle and performs well.... then we have a winner! I am really looking forward to your opinion on Vintage Castle! A very Blessed and Joyous holiday to you and your loved ones! 🥰😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@yopsiakay1519]

Thank you Arah❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! I’m adding Red Velvet and Khadlaj Empress to my list! Take care and stay beautiful 😍!

[@jamayaaaa]

Emaan is on my 'Later' list, since I have Gucci Bloom and Burberry London (love this one, I always use it when travelling to London haha mainly because it's so versatile for travelling, it makes me feel clean, elegant and feminine). My fav tuberose is Splendida Tubereuse Mystique Bvlgari though (I also love Magnolia from this series). Khair Pistachio - can't digest this, I don't appreciate any pistachio frags. Identity oud crescent is on my list, I keep thinking ot will smell something like Oud Ispahan Dior or Oud Touch Franck Olivier (love them both) but I don't see anyone associating them so I have no idea what to expect. I did not like Ajayeeb Dubai but I'm tempted to try the Ophidian one (mainly bc I want the bottle in my collection haha), I wonder if it's any better/sweeter/less oudy/more fruity? Flor Oud is my secret weapon, I loooove it, but my work mates don't appreciate that one. I would love to get Bois de Vanille but it's still not available in UK, what would you compare it to, what sort of fragrances? We have the Bois de roses but I think it might be just a boring rose. Thank you Arahi for curating fab content, I was excited about your house move! Life changes are stressful but also so freeing :) Hope you are enjoying yourself in the new place xx

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello hello! Thanks so much for asking and yessssss! my house move has been such a positive in my life! Love it! "Freeing" is definitely a good word to describe it! Thanks so very much for sharing your thoughts on all these fragrances!!! I am sorry to hear that some did not work for you but I am relieved that you also have some real good ones! Bois de Roses is not a very boring fragrance but it is not ground breaking. Now Bois De Vanille plays the same role as some of the very top vanillas in my collection while still being different.... I would say it gives me the same ethereal but Vanilla loaded vibe that I get with Vanilla Powder, but the one that it really brings to mind every time I use it on its own is Perris Monte Carlo Vanille De Tahiti! They are not the same truly.... but the Vanilla has been done in a very similar fashion! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm here for you sweedie......note pad and sorrel Shandy in hand❤️😍❤😍loving that shade of blue on you tweedie pie 🧥🔷️💙

Yesssss I did notice the nails also😍... blessings to you and your husband for many years to come sweedie 🙏🏾. Jus recognized that this is the last ME Thursday before my birthday (25th December 🎉) sooooo....this list have some that will make it on my birthday haul, why? Because Arahi said she likes it 🥰🤫😉...and as for your favorite shade - it's loving you the right way, right back 💙💙💙💙💙...

Hi Arahi! Orange & Neroli smells just like Sundazed and i love both when i ran out of my Byredo i never repurchased it after getting Orange & Neroli, didn't get the green bottle as i have a full bottle of the OG.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Theresa! Hope you are having a fabulously Blessed Holiday season! I can totally relate because I am telling you I was going to buy Bal D'Afrique and Vetiver Delight cancelled that move real quick! 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

@@ArahiWorld Yes my Birthday is Sunday, my kids are coming in to town Friday to hang out with me and they have to leave Sunday which i good with that, as they have their own lives plus work, after i go to work Monday i don't go back until the New Year, it's use the time or lose it and i'm not giving back no time at all, hope your Holiday is a Blessed one as well. I don't blame you good you were able to cancel them quickly 😆😆♥♥♥♥

[@evee-cj7tf]

hello Arahi, would you do a "backup bottle worthy" video please

[@charlottemilam2733]

I had when souls get high, and my sister loved it, so I gave it to her. I kinda regret giving it up bc it aged beautifully. Now, when I 1st sprayed it, it about killed me. Lol 😆

[@ArahiWorld]

Hey Charlotte! It's ok as I have done things like that too.... Typically with fragrances I gave my daughter and then I sniff them on her after a while and am almost kicking myself that I did not keep it in my collection! The good news is that both you and I gifted it to those we love.... and "giving" regardless is just such a beautiful thing! I don't know but maybe you can get another bottle or have her share a small decant with you! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@diliniperera2546]

Maison Asrar Red Velvet smells so synthetic. It has a plasticky smell to it. I had high hopes for it and it was super hard to find. I don't like it at all but it is not returnable. Hope it will get better with time.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Dilini! I would definitely give it some time and hopefully it will get much better if not a total love for you. If it still does not work after a while, I am sure you will not have any trouble finding it a new home. So sorry this was not a good initial try with this one..... Let us know how it all works out! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg I just went in my room, and tried this combo immediately. Freaking fantastic!!! Nice. Thank you

[@emontes5398]

I can't detect a note of vanilla in December Vanilla there is nothing sweet or gourmand about the one I received. It reminds me of standing at a tire shop waiting to get a new tire for my car. Many reviews i saw also asked "Where Is The Vanilla?"

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! Oh no!! So sorry December Vanilla did not work for you! Have you allowed it to macerate for a while? If not, that may make a difference. But sometimes fragrances just don't work for us as you know... God knows I've had plenty of that! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@emontes5398]

@ArahiWorld thank you for your reply. Yes I have let it macerate I really wanted to like it. Maybe I got a bad batch. 😒 Love the beautiful collection in your background. 😍 I really enjoy your reviews ❤️
