MIDDLE EASTERN PERFUMES you need to try! I found the BEST VANILLA in the market right NOW 🤩

[@zycielle1726]

Here's an update: I just received my package and tried Empire Victor right away! And yes! You are right! It has the best vanilla-oh my goodness! I can detect a similarity to Lira Casamorati, which I blind-bought in a 30 ml size and didn't like. I tried and let it macerate, but still, it was a no for me. HOWEVER, this Empire Victor is exactly what I expected Lira to be and more! I'm so happy! Best blind buy! Thank you for your recommendation!

@@Katsdontcare Thank you 🙏✨

[@marquitajoyce4694]

Just received my Empire Victor. And I looooooove it. I see the resemblance to Lira and some other lemony vanilla. HOWEVER!!, this somehow has a soft lemony vanilla feel that projects if that makes sense. Its a sensual citrusy vanilla.

[@jmercadobeauty]

@@marquitajoyce4694 yes! Glad you love it too! It’s really good 👌

@@mercyadubea3439 Hi there! I dont have the Rose Noir but I have tried MARAM by Arabiyat and it is very identical to Cashmere Sunshine Musk BUT is is lighter and airier. It’s more wearable and closer yo Olympea (not 1:1 dupe though)

[@AmiAbroad]

Hi Joanna! Nice video! You have kinda scared me with your description of Sunshine Musk. 😂 I'll get a sample. LOVE Empire Victor, and I own Lira, Bake and Devotion. This is not redundant and it's just sooo darn addictive! Curious about Tuskeen Marina....one of my favouite Zara fragrances is Vetiver Pampelmousse. Which is a grapefruit tangerine scent. Simple, but bright and zesty and invigorating. I wonder if Marina is similar..🤔

[@jmercadobeauty]

Hey!!! I’m not sure if you will like Cashmere. It takes a specific wearer I think. It is beast mode so can be nauseating especially if sprayed too much I think. EV is such a winner. One of my best discoveries this year for sure! I have Vetiver Pamplemouse and I don’t find it redundant to own. I have them side by side now and surprisingly Taskeen ended up fruitier and zestier., more feminine leaning and VP is more citrus and woody, more unisex 😀

[@bessieinoti9381]

Hi Joanna, I have Diwani Cairo and I absolutely love it!!!! One of my blind buy successes. Very curious about the other two, Rabat and Beirut and searched but can't find your review on those 😥. Can't wait to get my hands on Empire Victor, not available in my country yet.

Empire Victor is my favourite kind of Vanilla, well blended! Not sickly as most are. I already got a back up and I’m considering get another before they change the formulation. The other popular vanillas like vanilla 28 Bianco latte etc nauseate me. Never this one and it’s a layering masterpiece

[@jmercadobeauty]

I totally agree..😅I thought I was the only one..but I really don't understand the hype about Victor. Also I don't get why one perfume should have two batches of manufacturing dates... and give me the task of looking for the batch that has the nice vanilla..just too much work for an ordinary scent I think. 😅 Each to his own I guess.
