I think bayn al asrar is just like a summer version of guidance. I think if you dont like guidance you wont like bayn, however if you layer it with the Rave now woman, the strawberry replaces the challenging pear in bayn and creates a beautiful scent. I like it both layered and unlayered. Its more than nice, for the price, you wonder how they recreated it.

You're totally right about Bayn Al Asrar. When I first sprayed it I was impressed, like, oh, it's a fresher, summerier version of Guidance, but after I had it for a month, I wore it again and all of a sudden smelled an unpleasant, rubbery note that made it virtually unwearable . Luckily that artificial note dies down after a few minutes, but I'm not as enchanted with Bayn Al Asrar as I was in the beginning. As you said, it has no satisfying base or backbone that makes it a full-bodied fragrance. It's like you're only getting half the picture - the top and a couple of the middle notes of Guidance.
@msfeefee9980Ай бұрын
O wow your the first that said that about that and Guidance. So many that I follow said the opposite. I’m going to order it bc I think it’s going to be spot on.
@jmercadobeautyАй бұрын
Guidance is one of my top 10 for life so I’m very familiar with the scent as I have a bottle since it came out Bayn Al Asrar is just the opening of Guidance. If you buy it thinking it’s a dupe,it’s NOT but it’s not a bad perfume.

Thank you dear Joanna, on this dark and oh so cold ( for us, 10 degrees for about 10 minutes, otherwise it was 9 C today) day ~Tropical Kiss~ made me feel summery, it sounds perfect. Ambroise sounds a must buy for me. Once we get it in Australia. I really like Fragrance World perfumes and bought a lot recently and been so impressed. I am not surprised about Bayn Al Asrar . I sort of felt it would perhaps be a miss. Lots of love to you, Tia ❤

Hi Joanna, I enjoyed your reviews, you made me feel curious about Yuzu. Today I got my Bayn Al Asrar and enjoyed it at first spray, but I haven’t smelled the OG. I actually enjoy the note of osmanthus and felt it was the star of the fragrance, but I did find it as a nice yet simple scent that I could wear on a daily basis. Even if I don’t find it groundbreaking after actually using it, I really hope I can keep enjoying it, specially since I find myself to have a similar taste to you on fragrances. Huge kisses.

Hello! Bayn Al Asrar is a nice fragrance of it’s own. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that, for me it’s not a Guidance dupe. I can see it working well in jot and humid weather I think. You are right. Osmanthus and rose are the star of Bayn.. 💞

Hi Joanna! Yeah! Great for those of us residing in Europe to now have a decant source for ME fragrances. Hopefully, that will curb some of my 100 ml impulse buying 😬...one of which was Y.U.Z.U. I might have to return to this one, but I was put off by the sharpness of the opening. You should definitely try C.A.C.A.O from this line. Love it...a dry cocoa powder, with a patchouli that agrees with me. Very classy. Not gourmand to my nose. As for Bayn Al Asrar...see, I could NOT get on the Guidance train. It was so strong. It gave me headaches. But I felt I was missing out, so I thought Bayn Al Asrar would be for me. I like it, I like the dry down, too but now I'm starting to question whether I really like it or am I just happy to now be a part of the Guidance movement.🤔 Maybe I'll need to revisit the OG...

Hi, Joanna! Thanks for another Middle Eastern fragrance review - I love these! I am curious if you can share any more information about the differences between Khamrah Qahwa and Fragrance World's Qahwa. I have and really enjoy Khamrah Qahwa, but I love fragrances with a pronounced cardamom note, so I would consider getting Fragrance World's Qahwa, as long as it is not too much like Khamrah Qahwa. I also wonder if your Irish Coffee needs to macerate more - I have this fragrance but I don't get any dirty patchouli, just a boozy, not sweet coffee scent that I quite like. I'm not sure if it's the maceration or just that fragrances perform so differently on different people. Anyway, I wanted to share my opinion in case anyone else is interested in Irish Coffee! Thanks again and I can't wait for more of your Middle Eastern reviews - they are the best!❤❤❤
@jmercadobeauty6 ай бұрын
Hi Erin! In my opinion it’s not redundant to own both. Qahwa is less sweet qnd it has more prominent coffee and cardamom. I get powdery feel as well from it whereas Khamrah Qahwa is way sweeter and not so much coffee. I hope it helps 🙏 Regarding Irish Coffee, maybe it’s the maceration, let’s see as I’m surprised I didn’t like it. Judging the notes I thought it will be my favorite from the coffee collection. Thank you for sharing your experience. I sprayed it on again now and I am getting more sweetness. It has something that I don’t get along well with. Let’s see how it develops. I am not giving up 😂

It is disgusting, very off putting and I do not know who came up with this fragrance but they should really not name it Irish Coffee at all.
