Beast Mode Middle Eastern/ Arabian Perfumes WITH OUD

[@DDH64812]

I'm so, so glad you made mention of where many inspirations REALLY come from. Many of the fragrance notes we enjoy today and even note combinations began hundreds even thousands of years ago in the Middle East. The Western frag houses are very late to the fragrance world. I have a great appreciation for Middle Eastern ouds, insense, resins, spices, and florals and the tradition of luxurious presentations. 😊 Thank you for bringing us your beautiful culture and for all the information.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, but you look beautiful, as usual. Love your descriptions.

[@AmiAbroad]

Thanks for the content! My first entry to Oud was Ameer Al Oud Intense. That sweet sugar note really comes through. It is so good! No idea if it smells like By the Fireplace, but this fragrance is very user- friendly. 😊

[@lotus_perfumes]

Same mine first middle eastern perfume is also Ameer Al oud intense 😂😂

[@AmiAbroad]

@@lotus_perfumes good for just dipping your toes in the oud pool. 🙃

[@GoldenGoat888]

I layer Ameer Al Oud Intense with Fancy by Jessica Simpson. It’s a apricot/red berries and caramel almond. So beautiful together

[@AmiAbroad]

@@GoldenGoat888 ooooh... That sounds really intriguing! Thank you for the tip!

I feel happy every time I watch Friend's perfume promotional video.😊💯👍💙😍

[@e.natashap.257]

I got tamima to Last 8 hours. Took 4 months. Sounds like angel share on eternal oud. I wear whatever I want to heck with peoples opinions. Lol

[@pallasscarnecchia3262]

Never thought to combine ameer Al oud with majd al sultan - now I have to try it out !!

[@sbozalicious]

Thank you Sims, I remember I got oud mood after verifying with you for someone new to oud. And 3 months later I'm still loving it and it sure smell luxurious. My daughter describe it as one for "expensive dinner date at luxurious place, dresscode tie and collar"😂... I guess I can graduate to stronger oud now since I love this one and doesn't intimidate me at all ... maybe I must look at al nobel ameer or maybe just get ishq al shuyuk 🧐

[@SiminShaikh]

Hehehe your daughter has described it better than anyone online ❤❤❤ Much love to her. Oh yes! If you like Oud Mood you are ready for Level 2. However, Ishq Al Shuyukh is level 4 lol. But it is all Suede leather sweetness (no oud). I think it is the riskiest blind buy. But if you like feminine leather scents, you are gonna love it!

[@kellyhinrichs7403]

Sending love. I hope your flare has lessened. ❤

[@starlightzz1480]

I wore oud mood yesterday and I just feel so pretty and so good. ❤❤ I have like 5 fragrances on Amazon and 5 more on fragrance net because of you 🤣🤣

[@saki3450]

shaghaf oud for me doesnt smell of rose, i only feel it tiny bit in background. what dominates is vanilla and that overwhelming sweetness. it's the sweetest perfume i've smelled and i absolutely love it

[@deborahasuen5393]

Simi I had this Oud Mood and OMG it made me nauseous 🤮 when I wore it! For me it I was too Arabic (too much Oud) and there was another note in this fragrance that turned me off too. I gave it to my son who LOVES it so much he bought a back up of it. I think I over sprayed this thus causing me to get nauseous. I’ll have to buy it again and empty it sprayer FIRST then try it again with just the 2 sprays!

[@Princess_Glitter_Sparkle]

Could you do a recommendation video on how to apply light / normal / beast mode fragrances? Where you would recommend applying and how many sprays. Maybe a few examples of layering light with beast mode. I love your videos. Thank you so much ❤

[@Viddough]

I have oud mood ,I do 3 max sprays on my upper belly,not near the nose,it gets warm the oud blends with the Smokey musky floral and smells like luxury and actually soo sexy as the day goes on ,it’s best for evening and only for special occasions (outdoors),,don’t go more than 3 sprays or you might cause the smoke detector to go off,there is no gray area for this fragrance.,,stay WELL STAY STRONG.

[@MsTammi125]

Lol you ain't lyin, it's powerful ❤

[@rorilee9791]

I just received Al Noble Ameer today. I bought after the 1st time I watched this video. What a classy scent! (I’m a 53 y/o female, and I’m a *cough cough* “collector”. I’m also not bothered by how a fragrance is marketed in terms of gender. I’m actually hoping this gets a wee bit stronger, but so far it’s beautifully blended. 🎉

[@SiminShaikh]

Hehehe I’m sooooo happy someone actually went ahead and bought Ameer. It’s a snooty rich people scent that does not try too hard. I quite love it. Mine is macerating as well 😁

[@aesinam]

If you like Ameer then you'll love Ishq Al Shuyukh gold. It's Ameer on steroids. Lasts long right from the start

[@rorilee9791]

@@aesinam I’ll pick it up. Thanks much!

[@xtinejoy]

There should be a female version of Shagaf Oud Asraq! The packaging is gorgeous and my favorite color is blue. Anyways, I found a seller of Middle Eastern perfumes here in the Philippines and I'll start buying some decants first.

[@manuka7313]

Apparently it's honey 🍯 and Oud. In my opinion just get the Aswad and you don't need any other ones. You can layer it with other fragrances or wear it on it's own. I've had my Aswad for 2 years now and honestly I've never needed any other Oud fragrance and I'm a woman by the way. I wore it for my niece's wedding layered it with Alien, it was amazing! 🥰👌 Don't fall for the hype of new releases, plus the Aswad is way cheaper now. Make sure to get the one with Arabic writing ✍️ on the bottle, not the one with English writing on it.

[@amoshke]

For me, the closet dupe for Grand Soir is Barakkat Ambre Eve by Fragrance World. Almost a spot on dupe actually, I have both and compared them.

[@fegermany2413]

Please let me know how you like it ? How is the scent Profile ❤❤❤❤

Tottaly agree with you. Ambre Eve nailed it 😊

Love amethyst and oud for glory. Amethyst has raspberry according to lattafa. It's not atomic rose who cares it's fabulous. Wear all the time.

[@prettyzoemel]

I have all of these except the Shaghaf Oud white! I love every single one! Lattafa definitely made me fall in love wth Oud. Oud for glory is indeed a masterpiece!

[@lianiwhite1133]

I loved your description of the Sadness video and tying it to the scent. Perfect description! I too picture scent environments as I first use and come to learn the moods of my perfumes. I have and wear all of these except the Shaghaf white and blue (too masculine!) and your assessment is really spot on! I love the idea of Madj Al Sultan layered with Ameer AO Int. I enjoy both of these for layering and can’t wait to try it! Because of the myrrh Majd has a kind of honey or even hazelnut undercurrent; if you can recognize that note it really pops there. I like layering it with vanillas, lemon, and sweet gourmands, like Lira, Nebras, Ani. Beautiful! Thank you ❤

[@lynnetaylor476]

Thank you for this oud review! Had to purchase oud for glory… love berries, citrus, light spices, warm vanilla with clean oud! I appreciate the beauty mentioned as a starter oud to layer. I have 2 Initio perfumes and want to get musk therapy too; on my wish list!

[@SiminShaikh]

Hey hun ❤ I am planning on getting some sample viles of Initio perfumes, just for the sake of cross referencing you know. Oud for Glory and Amethyst are absolute love for me ❤❤❤

Lovely review dear just like u. I agree with all ur points. ❤❤❤

[@AyooFreshie]

So glad I found your channel 🫶🏽 You explain the perfumes so well. I love how you constantly have the picture, notes and name of the fragrance 👌🏾

[@h_l_h_23]

Just got Majd Al Sultan in the mail. My first Arabian fragrance! I'm a female and definitely appreciate this perfume but I completely agree with you that I will need to be selective about when and who I will wear this fragrance around. It's not repulsive at all, it definitely gives off that BTFP cozy smokey vibe but it is definitely smokey/incensey. The aromatics I think you're picking up on is the cedarwood. It's honestly very well blended but not for the faint of heart. I'm planning on layering this with sweeter scents and possibly Khamrah once that comes in the mail ( see if it works out like I hope ). For just over $20 you can't go wrong IF you like this DNA. The bottle is beautiful BUT the cap and atomizer are not high quality....again for the price it's nothing to lose sleep about and this could be a great addition to anyone's collection. Thanks for all the great content Sim! You're awesome! 💖

[@manuka7313]

Yeah I agree with you, I'm also a woman. I'm actually wearing Majd now, in my London flat. 😅For me this is such a comforting, warm and cozy sent. It's actually not a beast mode fragrance and layering with it gets better in my opinion. I layer with 'Stash' by Sarah Jessica Parker and 'Noir' By Pascal Morabito. Basically any other fragrance that i need to add a little smoke/warmth to it.👌🥰

[@h_l_h_23]

Layering it with Stash sounds so yummy!

Thank you for your videos, I have enjoyed watching them. I purchased as my first Arabic perfume sheikh al shuyukh luxe edition and I must say I really love it for its warm spice and sweet woods, vanilla and patchouli etc. Its very much a beast mode perfume. My question is if I purchase Oud Mood am I going to be getting something in the same family that smells very similar or is Oud Mood different. Thank you.

[@GoldenGoat888]

I love it, but mine has been macerating for 8 months so it’s very sweet and smoky vanilla. I love to layer it with anything that has a caramel or sugar note. Boosts performance and adds depth. My favorite is to layer with Fancy JS or Fireside Flurries from BBW
