French Avenue After Effect Perfume Review

The opening of FA Paris After Effect reminds me of Lattafa’s Khamrah minus the heavy gourmandness of that perfume; boozy dusty cinnamon and nuts with hints of incense, fruits and kerosene. The booziness its known for doesn’t fully kick in till after like 3-5 minutes at which point it smells […]

Al-Rehab Red Rose Perfume Review

If you’re in the market for a spot on dupe for Kenzo Flower for Women, do please check out Red Rose by Al-Rehab. Just like Kenzo, Red Rose keeps it simple and doesn’t do too much. It’s simply a rubbery, floral baby powder scent with a hint of sweetness. The […]

Supreme Musk Perfume Review

5 months ago, I introduced you guys to Arabiyat’s Intense Musk but quite a number of you didn’t want to smell like a basic musk and patchouli forward Lux Beauty Bar soap. Today I give you all, Supreme Musk by Bait Al Bakhoor Perfumes. This is a creamy, soapy, sweet, […]

Joyness Oud Intro Perfume Review

Joyness Intro by Fragrance World is oud for men who don’t like traditional pungent non sweetened oud fragrances. It’s a sweet, warm spicy, minty mentholated, green oud and bergamot scent with gourmand nuances. 15mins later it turns into a super sweet, sugary ginger and oregano infused oud perfume. One hour […]

Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Perfume Review

A big shout out to all the perfume influencers that keep it real these days ’cause I don’t understand the hype around this. Lattafa’s Asad Zanzibar opens smelling like a creamy, powdery, nutty stale dirty rag that has been left in water overnight with zero detergent and zero bleach. A […]

Lattafa Maahir Legacy Perfume Review

Lattafa’s Maahir Legacy is very refreshing fizzy scent that reminds me of 7Up and Sprite. It has a lush, fresh spicy, fruity, bergamot and pineapple opening. If you’re not a fan of pineapple, worry not as it’s not a prominent note here…..at least on my skin. By the time amber […]

Lattafa’s Ajayeb Dubai Portrait Perfume Review

Lattafa’s Ajayeb Dubai Portrait opens like a fresh, slightly plasticky, aromatic watery pineapple scent with a cocktail of juicy mango and citrus immediately creeping in. There’s a bit of creaminess to it after 20 mins. Despite being lauded as a mangoey scent, Pineapple is the highlight on my skin and […]

Absolute Oud Magnificent 7 Review – Summer Friendly Oud

According to several comparison videos I’ve watched so far, Magnificent Absolute Oud 7 by Fragrance World is actually a really good dupe of YSL M7 Oud Absolu for Men. It opens fresh, slightly sweet, spicy, oudy, a bit green, powdery and woody like pencil shavings with some citrus and amber. […]

Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends Perfume Review – Lattafa Prestige

This was the rage when I was starting out building my collection. The notes according to Fragrantica (which can’t be trusted 100% by the way) are Fruits, Apple, Spices, Nutmeg, Clove, Amber, Musk and Woodsy Notes. This opens super musky, powdery and nutty with a prominent watered down ripe pineapple […]
