MIDDLE EASTERN PERFUMES THAT DID NOT WORK FOR ME | HUGE HAUL FRAGRANCE FAILS | BEST PERFUME OPTIONS

[@JustSayLette_16]

Happy Thursday Beautiful! I'm going to gently say to you, Sis, that if you do not care for a fragrance, please speak on it! You are not a negative person, you do all of your research and can pinpoint certain things that do not appeal to you and that's important for the fragrance houses to know as this helps them improve on their blends. When positive feedback occurs, this makes for a better fragrance for all of us! We need more of this! ❤❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Paulette and happy Thursday! You are absolutely right as feedback allows us to learn and grow! Thanks so much for helping me out with this part of the journey!!! 😂😂😂❤️ I just really don't want to offend but yes!!!! I did understand that it was time for me to just share these non-popular thoughts! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@ArahiWorld All love! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@diliniperera2546]

You do not need to apologize for sharing your true feelings about perfumes. We blind buy perfumes based on your recommendation so if you think a perfume turned after you said it was good, please come back and share that info as soon as possible with the viewers. That will save our time and money.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! Thanks so much! That is what actually made me film this type of video. Because some of these fragrances have been a part of hauls and I had not circled back with a full review as was giving them time to maybe improve but..... 😂 😂 Needless to say they did not! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@diliniperera2546]

@@ArahiWorld Thanks for your honesty. Appreciate it.

[@damesaphira9790]

@diliniperera2546- I usually stop listening to anyone that begins a sentence with 'you need to....' But matching style for style I will just say..... : You need to wait until the second review with Middle East fragrances as they require a maceration time.

[@armandoandmariavivancos6393]

Finally i see a video where you mention fragrances you didn't like or didnt work for you. I knew you couldn't find every perfume you smell to be an olfatory perfect success !

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! But of course not! Not everything works for me but I can see how you could have assumed that since I was not sharing my fails! Moving forward I will make it a point to put out this type of video on a consistent basis.... Thanks you for your patience and support! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@yoca78]

I’m so glad you did this video because I was under the impression you like everything you smell lol

[@ArahiWorld]

Oh my goodness! Absolutely not! I just figured I would only bring you and the rest of the Fam fragrances that I loved but then I had to do this video because some of these fragrances were in hauls and I had not circled back to say what I really thought! I now see it is very important that I just bring it all and share my not so pleasant experiences! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@pkswafford]

Arahi, thank you for the candid comments on these fragrances! Nobody can like everything, and people will have different scent associations that make them dislike some. I doesn't mean the fragrance is bad! And its good to know that you don't love every fragrance you try! That said, I personally enjoy Badee Al Oud Sublime, while I don't care for Honor & Glory. But I understand why others like it.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello and happy Friday! It never ceases to amaze me how different we all are when experiencing a fragrance! 😂 😂 I mean here you are loving Sublime and me loving Honor & Glory! 😂 😂 I truly don't love every fragrance and believe me when I tell you the list is quite long.... specially when it comes to Western niche perfumes! 😂 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@pkswafford]

Lots of Indy and niche fragrances are challenging! I appreciate the craftsmanship but I’ve come to realize that I like the crowd-tested designer and Arabic scents.

[@maitawana]

Stop apologisng for sharing your dislikes. you are entitled to feeling how you feel and it helps us save money on fragrances which we may not like. Its refreshing to have an honest reviewer instead of one who loves all fragrances.

LOVED this video! 😅 I have a couple boxes under my bed with about 30 fragrances, mostly niche & designer, with just a few middle eastern ones that I either HATE the scent or else they dont last on me. I just gotta find the best place to resell & try to get half my money back. You were so fun in this video & made me smile big countless times & I sure needed that today! So thank you Arahi for a FUN, relatable video! Love all your videos & REALLY loved this one! 😊

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! Ok so thank you because knowing that I added some cheer to what seems to have been a bit of a challenging day makes it all worth it for me! Have you considered selling them on eBay or setting up a Mercari account? It is not very complicated and you can definitely get some of your $$$ back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dawnstreeter8744]

Yes Mecari is the place I go to purchase perfumes. If you do open an account, double back and put your Mecari profile in a reply. I would love to see what you have.

Hello Arahi 😊 and thank you for letting us know your opinion on these fragrances. I had like 2 of the fragrance you mention, the African Drummer, Lattafa Mayar intense and I didn't like it at all. I was surprised when you mention it because I said to me is it me or my skin and I'm happy you mention it. Thank you Arahi I really enjoyed everything. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Madelyn! Oh my! And I don't want you to ever feel like if you do not like a fragrance it is just you because look at the amount of Fam members that have come out today to express their dislike for these and even other fragrances that I personally love because they work on my skin!

I purchased Little African Drummer five months ago and thought it was not very good. I cleared out the automizer and put it away. Three months later, after I let it sit and masserate, I loved it and wore it with Kayali Vanilla 28. You have to let this sit for a good three to four months.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! Ok! I will let it sit for 2 more months..... but believe me I will be circling back to you and the rest of the Fam no later then the beginning of September with my. final update!

@@ArahiWorld It's not for everyone, and believe me, I wanted to return it. But I'm glad I let it sit. Some of these fragrances have to sit for six months to a year.

I commend you for pulling through with this video, the discomfort was palpable❤! Fragrance is such a personal thing! We can't just like them all. Imagine our poor wallets😂! Honestly, I think videos like this make you even more credible. I thought you were gentle and as 'factual' as you could, you didn't trash anything. You were tasteful as usual. I'm sure I have a few 'get that off me' scents, but I want to reward you with a funny anecdote: Much as I love Ajayeb Dubai Portrait, the scent reminds me of a household cleaner friends of ours used way back when in their fancy holiday home. Now when I wear it, I'm always drawn between 'I smell like cleaner' and 'I smell like a posh vacation on the Riviera' 😂😂😂. I kid you not. 😊❤

[@ArahiWorld]

😂 😂 😂 😂 OMG! I so needed that laugh right now! "Cleaner or Posh Vacation on the Riviera"!!! 😂 ❤️ Thanks so much for your kind words.... I really appreciate it as I indeed was quite uncomfortable filming this video! Oh and then when I had to edit it..... it was even more painful!!! But yes!.... that is exactly what I did.... Pushed Through!.... as we have to do so many times in life! I have to tell you that as always I am thankful for you and so many others in the Fam that don't judge but just provide kindness! Fragrance is truly a personal thing! And I know the next time I have to do one of these videos it will be easier! Thank you! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Oh Tamima was an absolute mess for me!!! 😂😂 I blind bought it and really tried to get used to it. It just was not working. Gave it away.

No need to apologize for your preferences. I love your channel.

[@DDH64812]

I've passed on many of these discussed here. Sublime went to my granddaughter, which was a bit juvenile for me, Mayzoon was a definite nope too strange off the sample, French Coffee I own a small roller ball oil and only for gentle layering in winter, Rare Passion is a nope. Remes is a YES, Dubai Portrait 😍 Al Haramain l'Aventure Iris is gorgeous, and I'm getting a second bottle. For a Rose Champagne scent, I've been rockin' Bharara Pink Champagne 🍾 💗 I'm a boneifide Musk lover hard core and Swiss Arabian Musk 01, 07, and 74 Poudree are exquisite. I also love Musk Malaki oil from Swiss Arabian 😍 thank you for your input on these fragrances, Arahi. I am pretty safe, most of them aren't my jam. It is nice to get the heads up. We're forced to do a lot of blind buying 😢 thanx again 😊

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Denise! 😂 😂 So before replying to your comment I had to pull out my pen and paper because there are several I really have been waiting for someone to discuss! SA Musk 01, 07 I've had my eye on for a while! And Bharara is a brand that I have been testing behind the scenes and will soon be introduced to our Fam.... for those who don't know about it! I did not pick up Pink Champagne so may have to try and get a sample somewhere! Mayzoon is one that I am really not happy about because I love a good challenge and I have just not been able to get used to that Mastica spice! Anyway.... yes we are forced to do a lot of blind buying and I am hoping I can little by little find a way to help with that!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Hello Arahi! Great video, I’m so glad to hear your honest opinion about what you like and also about you don’t like. I have Sublime and it doesn't make me feel good, as it should, but luckily my daughter enjoys using it. I just bought "rare passion", I don't really feel it - I hope to love it after maceration. Now, I keep hearing about some perfumes that are stronger and i would like to know your opinion on them. I'm talking about: Ahned al Maghribi: - Kalemah, - Ain, -Zeyafati. And also Khadlaj- The proposal- date night. I really like all your work on this channel. Thank you !😊

[@GwendyddStclair]

@Arahiworld #Mastica is from the gum mastic tree it has a gummy resinous with medicinal notes. It's an acquired scent . It would have done better if blended with peru balsam, benzoin and olibanum. To tame the scent. Peru has courimin and cinnamon notes, benzoin contains vanillin and olibanum has a lemon resinous note. Because tonka,lemonade cinnamon and vanilla won't blend with mastic so their resin counterparts is the only way to produce syrupy sweet scent that mastic can have

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! OMG Thanks so much for explaining this to me! Do you think I just need to be more patient and keep trying! It has bothered me so much that I have not been able to train my nose on that Mastica note! I mean it is one thing to not like a note after you kind of understand it but in my case it is just like an inability to wear it and be ok at least! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It'll be really helpful if you did, as for us viewers as we blind buy based on trust and reviews. We are all entitled to change our minds but I found in this video, you made it seem like you were unsure when it is contradictory.

I got super crush recently and at first I was not so sure, but I grew to like it, and the performance.. lasts all day. I see your juice is darker meaning you've kept it quite a bit.. can't wait to see how it evolves over time.

I had to let my Badee al oud sublime macerate for nearly 6 months before it finally smelled remotely like others were describing. Now it’s beautiful. Two that get rave reviews but don’t work for me are Lattafa Ansaam Gold, which my husband said reminded him of his grandmother’s toilet spray, and Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited, which turns into a sour milk smell and metallic. Unfortunately I don’t get any of the beautiful coconut that people speak about. It just goes to show how much our skin chemistry affects the scent and our experiences wearing them. I love the sound of Asad Zanzibar though, so will try that one, thank you!

Hi Erica and thank you for being so understanding! It does seem like the Fam does want me to bring this type of content to the channel and I do agree I need to let them know when something goes terribly wrong even if I never recommended it to begin with!

[@tifflove44]

Arahi, I completely agree with you. LOL! Mayar Intense isn't for me. Every time I spray it, there is something off-putting about it. I keep trying to let it sit, but it just doesn't work for me. Regarding French Coffee, I agree with you. I don't want to smell like coffee. As far as Rare Passion goes, I find it just smelling strange as well. You are so right about Bade"e Al Oud Sublime! I don't like the smell. Thank you for your honest review! I love Remas!

[@raregem8886]

I have Al Rehab French Coffee and I have a different experience. Yes, the black coffee scent is powerful in the opening, but a few minutes later, the smell becomes creamy, like a latte or cappuccino. It smells yummy! So far, it does not last too long on me. I'm lucky if I get five good hours with it. I hope the longevity gets better. But, I have a different version than the one you have in the video. My bottle is the clear one, not that brown bottle. I wonder if the formula is different, based on the bottle you have?

[@ArahiWorld]

I love that you brought it up because I have been wondering as I do know there are several bottles and I too wonder if it was reformulated! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@damesaphira9790]

Mayar is one of my favorites but I UNDERSTAND. I also love cilantro and smell pickles in Santal 33. If we had the same genes, we would have the same fingerprint. I LOVE Issey Miyaki fragrances and I know that many people can't stand them. I grew up close to the Louisiana border in Texas, maybe smelling all those water lily blooming has trained my nose to like that 'artificial' water scent they give off. LOL Don't apologize, I still trust you more than any other influencer. Your reviews have led me to Mohra Silky Rose, Lattafa Emaan and Lattafa Ajayeb Dubai Portrait and they are in my top 5 favs.(I refuse to admit how many I own) 😘

[@ArahiWorld]

Good morning and happy Tuesday! We are all just so different when it comes to how our noses pick up these fragrances... So it truly may not be an artificial scent but instead more of my nose! 😂😂❤️ Thanks so much for the vote of confidence and I do think we all refuse to admit how many of these fragrances we have picked up! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dawnstreeter8744]

Yes i am glad you're sharing your thoughts on fragrances you do not like as well. Now since we're being honest .. There's a few you've recommended that i don't really care for. That Oh Boy fragrance (forgot who made it) both Rasasi's Elite Lady and Victory. I don't hate them but they're so so. I'll admit i do like Elite Lady as time goes on. And I'm not sure if you hauled this one but Riffiquat. 😑😑😑😑 All i get is gasoline and plastic. But mostly gasoline. I've had it since late March. I'll let them at sit and come back but yeah. I love love love African drummer i like sublime and rare passion. Like rare Tiffany better but i wish she lasted longer. Oh and mayar intense is okay too. Very watery and green. But fresh. I can live with it but probably won't repurchase once gone.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Dawn! Oh WOW! This is just so interesting because I absolutely love Rifaaqat by Paris Corner and did not even have to let it sit! I also own Babycat which is the one it was inspired by and can tell you that I have heard from many frag lovers that they get burnt tires even from that one! Please just let us all know when one doesn't work for you! That is why I am always asking each Fam member to share their opinion when possible because that way we are all aware of when a fragrance could not be a love to someone else! And at least if they decide to pick it up they have my take and the opinion of others to help in their decision! 😂 😂❤️ ❤️❤️ ❤️

[@arymhansie]

Arahi, how long should a frag be macerated for? Honor and Glory, in my opinion, just didn't do it for me. I thought it was really weak. Maybe I should leave it for a few weeks before trying it again.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! So there is no specific amount of time for you to let a fragrance macerate because that can vary from fragrance to fragrance. Maybe it is just not going to work for you…. There are other Fam members that have expressed how this one is not a good one to their nose. It also depends on how long you want to let it sit! That does not guarantee it will change to your nose though! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chrisjackson1733]

Good video. Good looking out cause I was looking at that sublime

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello Chris and happy weekend! OMG! Please be careful because you already know how bad it was for me but also keep in mind that there is an even greater number of Fam members that absolutely love it!

[@shecreates365]

@@ArahiWorld thankyou😊

[@sharfalor4244]

I avoided African Drummer due to the comparison to Lust for Sun. I'm surprised it's the ambroxan you don't like in it, I got my sample of Marj by AAM and that has the same ambroxan as Davidoff Cool Water that sticks out like a sore thumb! Edit to ads (you said you loved Marj, hence my surprise if its specifically the ambroxan you arent liking in AD).

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello and happy Friday! Let me start by saying that you can have the same note in two fragrances and get a different scent from each.... this is determined by the Blend of a fragrance which includes other notes and compound/chemicals! That being said, Marj is not a mass appealing fragrance and I am pretty sure I said that in the video where I spoke in detail about Marj! BUT!!!!...... I am absolutely IN LOVE with Marj! I consider it an Ahmed Al Maghribi masterpiece! There is nothing like it in my entire collection and it provides one of the most challenging olfactory journeys I have experienced. I am sorry it did not work for you! Now.... when it comes to African Drummer.... I did not say it was the Ambroxan as I do not have a problem with Ambroxan in any fragrance..... but the reason I mentioned it when speaking about AD is because I always let the Fam know when a fragrance has Ambroxan as there are several Fam members that can not tolerate it and it gives them headaches! My problem with African Drummer is the entire composition and the way the Blend was done! I own Lust for Sun and love it! It is one of my go to beach fragrances! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sharfalor4244]

@@ArahiWorld I'm well aware of blending etc, I've been buying perfume for decades. 😂 But yes, now I saw you just mentioned it has amboxan in rather than saying you didn't like it. I forgot you just like to mention it for others. I don't mind it in *some* fragrances at all, I just don't want low key reminders of boys at 90's night clubs when I'm wearing a fragrance, which is how the ambroxan in Marj comes across *to me* personally which is a shame as the rest of it is quite nice. As you may be aware, different noses and scent memories matter. That will also be why you aren't getting what other people get from some of these, not because one person is right and the other is wrong. That's why I sample where I can, to see if a specific blend suits me.

[@ArahiWorld]

@@sharfalor4244 I hope I did not come across as lecturing you on blends! I was just trying to make a point around why a note might work on one fragrance but not the next! I think we have a pretty mature fragrance lover group in this Fam.... not in age but in time dealing with fragrances!! 😂 I have to tell you that I agree sampling is the only way to go because sometimes you can even like a fragrance at first sniff but then get a decant or a bottle and determine that you like it but not enough to go for a full bottle! So then there you are with just another bottle collecting dust! 😂And don't even start me on trying to store all these perfume bottles!!! The other thing you said that caught my attention is how a fragrance can trigger memories and/or periods of time we are really not interested in remembering! That has definitely happened to me so many times and typically I just have to get rid of the entire bottle! 😂😂😂 So I do understand your point on Marj! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@erinkarl5731]

Happy Thursday, Arahi! Like you, I am also questioning whether I should keep Sublime and Mayar Natural Intense. I actually thought I liked both initially, but there is something in the drydown of Sublime that irritates me and while I like some aspects of Mayar Natural Intense, there is something sharp in it that I don't enjoy. I don't have Mayzoon, but I did get a fragrance oil from Perla Nera, Sweet Milla, and I just do not like it. It smells like straight up baby powder to me, which is a scent I cannot stand. On the other hand, I am loving Eternal Musk, as it seems so elegant and versatile, I can see myself wearing it a lot for so many different occasions. I've also been thinking about getting Tamima, since I heard it was similar to L'Imperatrice, which I really enjoy except find it doesn't last on me. So I'm glad to hear you enjoy it! Do you think it resembles L'Imperatrice at all? If you would like a good dupe for Mancera's Coco Vanille, I have Montaigne Coco by Maison Alhambra and it is a very close dupe (though I did find it needed some time to macerate). Thanks for sharing these fragrances that didn't work out for you - it is a difficult topic but still very helpful for your viewers. Now I can't wait to hear about the new fragrances in your ME haul in your next video!❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Erin and hope you are staying cool in this heat wave we are facing! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I would say that Tamima is pretty close to L'Imperatrice and what I enjoy the most is the performance of Tamima because I never replaced my bottle of L'Imperatrice due to it just lasting like 5 hours on my skin and at that price point.... No! 😂😂😂 I had not heard about Montaigne Coco so just added it to my ERIN TOLD ME TO BUY IT list! 😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you!

Hi Arahi 👋🏾. I made the mistake and fell into the hype and blind bought LA AFRICAN DRUMMER. There's something in it that I don't like and does not agree with my body chemistry. I've tested it on three separate occasions and it's a huge NO for me. If I want to smell like a lime coconut vacation I'm just gonna stick to my Virgin Waters by Creed. And in all honesty, I'm going to stop buying so many Middle Eastern fragrances. They are becoming a huge waste of money in my opinion. They are either starting to all smell alike, the longevity is short, or I end up buying dupes of the OG's that I already have in my collection 😢.

I love Fabuloso Arahi but not in a perfume 😆

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Rosario! I know!! Fabuloso is not what I want to smell like! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Badee Al Oud Sublime. I. DO. NOT. LIKE! To me, it smells like it USED TO smell good but it went rancid. I had it for a few months and it is NOT getting better for my nose or skin. My husband likes it. I don’t. 😆

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Leilani! I tell you I have totally given up on that one! My daughter now has it and will test it on her skin! Hopefully it will work for her….. I just could not even continue to try! I do agree with it smelling rancid though with the added bug spray touch! At least that is what I get on my skin! Thanks so much for sharing! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

French coffee maybe a good room spray

[@ArahiWorld]

😂😂I don’t even know if I could do that as I am not sure I want my home to smell like that! The kitchen in the morning is a good idea though! 😂🤔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@ArahiWorld for some reason I love the smell of any coffee shop anytime

Hello Arahi, Wow African Drummer isn't working for you, All i smell is coconut and vanilla.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Theresa! Oh it is definitely not working for me because I am not getting anything pleasant! But I did agree to give it a couple more months before letting it go as another Fam member told me that it took them months to get this fragrance to settle! So let’s see! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@ArahiWorld yes let it sit more, Junoon Pour Femme came today i'm very happy to have it in my collection.
