Middle Eastern Underrated Perfume Haul #simsquad
Hello hello my lovely Angels this is your girl Sim back with another episode of the Sim Squad [Music] hi this is going to be probably my last haul for like this month and the next
Month I don’t know when I’m going to be releasing this video but like I’m kind of done with buying perfumes for now because like the amount of money I spent on perfumes is like ridiculous so I know like the next videos that I’ll be probably releasing would be like Collections and stuff
Like spring collection your spring florals summer perfume summer fruity summer Freshies things like that probably like do an update of my favorite Lattafas favorite Khadlaj uh I have like a few like different ones up my sleeve uh let me start today’s uh haul with uh one of the Lattafas uh
This is from the Lattafas Pride 2 this is Breeze now quite a few of you all were like actually asking me to review this and a lot of you all like it now I’ll be very honest with you when I sprayed
It for the first time I wasn’t very impressed with it if you remember I kept telling you guys like oh my gosh the recent um Lattafas haul is like a disaster I’m not liking any of the fragrances
But then there was some that surprised me when because I got these like around 2 months ago and now I’m finally reviewing them right so the Box opens up like a lighter and then you have the
Breeze bottle it’s uh I think this the same size and dimensions as the uh raw human are they yeah they are but it’s just this one is like bronzy and this one is your black uh there’s a woman on this
And when you touch it it feels like a emboss you know so there’s a woman with like it’s like trees and branches and everything so the packaging like is not bad not something I would usually like gravitate towards what does it smell like now last last time I checked on fragrantica this was
Not listed so I’m going to try and see if I can find it right now and no this is also not listed now I don’t know what this smells like because it does feel again like something I’ve smelled
Not sure what it is it’s a spicy Woody fragrance and very obviously so like you can immediately like detect like the spices you know exactly what spices are going on and then you smell like a lot
Of woods but they’re slightly sweet right this retails for like .38 which is like not bad for a pride collection for Lattafas Pride collection but if I’m not mistaken when I bought it it was
On sale I’ll just put the price like whatever it is in the links right the top notes for this are bergamot incense and cardamum yes you do get the burg mot in the beginning you get do get like
Cardamum but they have not listed any other spices over here and you clearly do get Pepper and it’s present like very very strongly the incense is not like a very strong incense so it’s there but
In a very mild way let’s just call it like a Woody smokiness and not really incense the middle notes are lily of the valley and cyclamen and these two notes you can smell but they’re present in a mild
Manner so that it adds a little bit of that floral freshness as opposed to the floral heaviness and the base notes are must sandalwood and cedar cedar wood so yeah the base is like super Woody
For sure but I would probably say like this is like a fresh fragrance uh although like it has like a woman uh made on this with the tree and everything and this is the problem I had with
Raw human as well because they had a woman on that as well and I was like who is your target audience like you know like what are you doing you know so like even this one like I feel it’s a very very
Masculine fragrance as a matter of fact when I’m smelling this you know the kind of image that’s com coming to my mind is like Old Spice you know that after shave like grandfathers used to wear
Like the Old Spice smells like that but does that mean that it’s a bad perfume no it’s not it’s a very very decent fragrance it smells good it’s nothing spectacular or nothing like wow it’s like
Crazy insane but it’s nice like if a guy would wear this he would smell fresh and nice and would be very very good for summer the name Breeze kind of makes sense because it’s you’re in the woods
Where there are not really like fresh wood they’re dry woods but there’s some aromatic Woods as well in that and then like Sandalwood or something and it’s like very very Breezy and the breeze is bringing like hints of uh some sort of spices and flowers and everything but it’s not like
The flowers are growing there so like that whole Breeze thing I associate it with like getting the whiffs of florals and spices in a in a very Woody uh forest or something ladies stay away from this
Because this is like a super super like think Old Spice like it just smells it gives me that kind of vibe the more it starts drying down the cardamum starts getting like stronger and stronger to a
Point where I feel like it becomes a very cardamum dominant fragrance now the cardamum over here it’s not like in a gourmand way right because when I say cardamum like normally we associate cardamum with like desserts you know because normally we add card and desserts and or the tea like normally
In our Kadak tea also we add like cardamum to make it aromatic but in here it’s like smelling like very fresh like you just took a bunch of cardamum in your hand and you’re smelling it if you love
Cardamum scents you’re going to have a blast with this one you’re going to love it I do personally think it’s it’s nice but it’s not something that I would gravitate towards and in my opinion I don’t
Even think Ali will like be like too drawn towards this fragrance it smells good if a guy comes next to me wearing this perfume will I like the fragrance on him yes I will but maybe like layer this with something more aquatic like if this was like paired with something really really fresh
And Aquatic I would probably like it now Ali does like he mixes like four five fragrances together so half the time when people ask him what is he wearing he does not know what he’s wearing he
Just says there’s a lot of perfumes on my table I’m mixing all of them you know so I don’t know like if he would like make something out of this but as of now I would probably give this like a
Seven out of 10 it’s not a bad fragrance it’s a very beautiful fragrance but does it like really attract me no it’s like a very very basic spicy uh Woody slightly floral fragrance which has like this after shave cologne kind of uh wipe to it it’s definitely a spring summer fragrance not for
Winter it’s advertised as unisex but in my books this is like an absolutely masculine fragrance there’s no middle eastern vibe in this like at all although there’s cardamum I would not call this a middle eastern fragrance at like not at all it has strong projection like 3 to 4 feet IT
Projects like crazy because of it being so fresh and everything but that also means the longevity is a little poor it’s 6 to 7 hours because it just does like evaporate like pretty pretty fast and the celebrity I wanted to give this was Liam Hemsworth not Chris Hemsworth Chris Hemsworth
Is like you know this is like Liam Hemsworth for sure 7 out of 10 I’m such a mean person sometimes there two more from uh House of Khadlaj these were sent to me like a very very long time ago
Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to review them as a matter of fact I reviewed them I have made a video and I made it dedicated to these two perfumes but that video became obsolete you know
Why because I had reviewed this maybe last year and since then this perfume has changed a lot lot so I wanted to do it again make a fresh video for this one because that one is like obsolete like I
Know I can just put that video out there and I’ll still get views on it but I don’t want to put it because it might misguide you right this is from the aura collection I have the aura crisp flower
And the aura kiss of rose let’s start with um crisp flow since the kiss of rose is a little bit more strong now this one is a $20 perfume it’s very very cheap again I’m mentioning that uh to buy Khadlaj you need to WhatsApp them on their website Khadlaj-perfume.com there’s a button over
There for WhatsApp click on that and you can chat with them they will figure it out how to ship it to you and everything and give you the best prices you know which is listed on their website now Aura
Crisp flow first of all the bottle is very pretty it’s very basic it’s plastic the color is like a blush pink with golden like um embellishments fit outs as I call them it’s pretty and the fragrance is exactly how I would expect something that is defined as crisp flowers it’s crisp fruits with
Some flowers this is definitely a floral scent but it has like a lot of um fruity nuances to it this to me smells something like bitter Peach because it has that green crisp bit bitterness of peach it
Smells like a mixture of bitter Peach and Flower Bomb okay I don’t know if that’s going to make sense to you guys or not okay um yeah yeah think of like Flower Bomb you know the kind of perfume
It is and then mix it with bitter Peach but the bitter Peach you know it was quite powdery this is not powdery it comes out to be a little bit more fresh which is why I’m mixing it with flower
Bomb the top notes for this up pair bergamot and Peach which is why you get that juicy very very fruity Vibe going on but the middle notes are Jasmine and Peony which are very very strong in this so the opening is very fruity but then the fruitiness gets like taken over by Jasmine
And um um p the peony is a little powdery but like you don’t really feel the perfume becoming powdery yeah and then the base notes are musk vanilla and vetiver is not like too harshly earthy it’s
Not bad it’s there as a mild earthiness but not disturbing if you know bitter Peach it’s one of the perfumes I don’t like right it was a big hype and everything but I was like thank God thank God
I never like like ordered even a sample because even the sample was like very pricey Bitter Peach was not for me so I’m glad that they kind of like have the same DNA but it’s like moderated
In a way you know they have contained it you know not making it too harsh not making it too bitter powdery and that bitter powdery thing was the thing that was disturbing me in bitter Peach this one is more juicy it’s more floral it’s definitely more fresh this is giving me Spring
Wipe more than summer vibe so I would say this is like a more spring appropriate fragrance right the top notes will like die down after some time but the freshness of like the juiciness sorry not the freshness juiciness of the fruits stay but you cannot identify the fruits anymore you can’t
Say it’s peach or pear or bergamot right it’ll change it’ll become more like okay it’s Jasmine and peony mixed with some fruits the vanilla is definitely adding sweetness along with the musk so the fruits are like the Happy chirpy fruits and juicy nature to the perfume the flowers give it a
Little bit more of Elegance a little a little bit more of kindness a little bit more of like femineity to the perfume and then the Vetiver and musk they ground the perfume make it a little bit
More um let’s just say not like so effervescent it’s like there it’s maturing the fragrance in a way right and I quite like this fragrance again from top to Middle notes to the base note this
Perfume is not linear at all it changes like crazy it’s very very Dynamic the initial blast will be so so fruity that you would expect this perfume to be like a super super fruity fragrance but then it changes and just becomes like a very pleasant musky vanillic uh flowery perfume so that’s
Why I’m classifying this as a floral fragrance and not a fruity fragrance this is like super feminine like feminine like think of like what I’m wearing right now it’s kind of like I actually think of the same thing but in pink and that would be like your fragrance this is like spring summer
But I would say like wear this more in Spring uh it’s quite cheap so like spray it as much as you want although it does project like decently like 3 to 4 ft and the longevity is around 7
Hours I would not say this is a beast fragrance it also evaporates pretty fast and after 7 hours it’ll become like a very very very skin scent yeah very mild floral musky vanillic scent on yourself
There’s no middle eastern and vibe at all in this I would give this perfume an eight out of 10 and the celebrity I want to give this to is Kate midle Middleton Middleton Middleton uh and she came to
My mind because first of all the media is like I don’t know what they’re doing with all these news and scaring people and stuff like I was actually scared when I read some stuff like and I was like
Dude I hope she’s okay but then I was like no one knows I mean you know it will be easy for her to just come out and just give a statement and this will be done with you know but I don’t know why
It’s all happening but that’s why I’m like I hope she’s feeling okay and everything like don’t like always like criticize people and you know make up stories and stuff just for the sake of clicks you
Know we’ll know in time so yeah Kate Middleton was like somebody who came to my mind for this perfume the next one is kiss of rose now this Aura range by the way is from The Collection La Fede
La Fede or La Fede I think it’s La Fede this was like they have like a lot of different different perfumes but I think that they have discontinued the range so I know it’ll be available for some
Time and then they’ll get discontinued kiss of rose everybody was like this is a dup for Eden juicy Apple by Kayali good thing because I have it here with me 10 MLS if you know I collect all
The 10 MLS of Kayali that’s the only thing I can afford yeah they’re very similar but but but okay so the Kayali is very effervescent very mild very light very bubbly very Apple heavy this one is not
That Apple heavy this is more of current heavy it smells more like black currant than Apple the top notes for this are Apple black Currant grapefruit and lii middle notes of raspberry Jasmine and Rose
And the base notes of sugar vanilla uh Moss Amber and musk so it is like super super fruity but the these are dark fruits Kayali it’s it’s it’s a very crispy Apple so if you guys know apple is not a
Note I tolerate usually but the Kayali perfume is not done in a bad way like but I would still not wear that perfume right because of that Apple note it’s too apple juice kind of set this on the other
Hand is a thick a very mature like um boozy it’s a yeah boozy is the right word it’s the same fruits and everything but it’s like a boozy version of all these fruits so think Apple but only in the
The beginning little bit and then all these other fruits like black current grapefruit litchi along with the Apple are all like uh what do you call it fermented and become like a little bit uh boozy and that’s how it smells like and of course because it has raspberry Jasmine and Rose it
Literally smells like a rose jam so you know that perfume of um Lush it’s called rose jam literally think of kali’s perfume mixed with the Lush rose jam it’s it’ll give you the kiss off Rose it’s a very beautiful fragrance definitely definitely perfect for summer because it’s super fruity
It’ll make you feel very pretty it’s extremely sweet so be aware because if you don’t want to uh if you don’t appreciate like very very sweet fragrances the this is like super sweet like like Fruity Jam like jam you know imagine like you already have fruits and then you add sugar to
It as a matter of fact they’ve mentioned the not sugar so it is super sweet you know so it’s very Jammy it’s very fruity it’s beautiful the rose in this is like very very cold and beautiful rose
I’m assuming it’s like a pink rose or something cuz it doesn’t smell like red roses I think this perfume is stunning in the dry down they smell similar but again I’m telling you this one is like a thicker perfume it’s more boozy and it’s definitely more heavy on Rose I really like it
I I actually think this perfume doesn’t deserve uh doesn’t get the love it deserves you know it it is very obscure not like very mention maybe I have not seen the reviews maybe it’s mentioned a
Lot like elsewhere and I’ve not seen it but also the fact that this was sent to me last year it’s such such a shame I’m I’m I’m so happy that Khadlaj just so patient with me you know but
Uh I do have a lot of perfumes for them so it takes me time to get again I’m very glad that I discarded that other video and I’m doing it like freshly because my opinion on these perfumes have
Changed drastically it’s so mature right now so beautiful there’s no Middle East and vibe check in this spring summer appropriate for sure very very feminine I don’t think a guy can pull this off unless you like wearing fruity fragrances then go for it whatever like you know floats your boat or
Whatever you know protection I would say is like 2 to 3 ft and the longevity is like mid I would say 7 hours not more than that like I would think it like reduces to quite some extent but you know
After it reaches its middle notes it kind of stays there doesn’t change it doesn’t like disappear you know those notes of the rose jam with uh the Eden juicy Apple it’ll stay throughout the perfume but
It you’ll just get like milder and milder which I like about the perfume this is again an eight out of 10 it’s a very very beautiful fragrance but like once I use this up will I buy it again
I don’t think so it’s a very girly girl fragrance it’s a very pretty fragrance but at the same time it has a sexy allure about it and that’s why like the celebrity that came to my mind was Emarata you
Know Emily I’m not going to say her surname or maybe I will but I know I’m going to butcher it Ratajkowski or Ratajkowski or something you know but you know who Emarata is right like her like
She’s so fine right like it reminds me of her it’s like a very uh sexy but in a very playful way next up this perfume I think I bought it like a year ago and then it went like because I have like a
Lot of empty boxes also that I say because just in case I want to declutter it or if I want to gift it to someone you know one of my family members I like to give it in the sleeve you
Know in the Box as well and I this kind of got mixed up with all the rest of the perfumes the boxes and then one day I was just cleaning and setting them up like properly and I was like I
Forgot about this perfume this is from Bait Al Bakhoor and it is called Tohfa so I remember I purchased this because I was making a collection to make gourmand fragrances for you guys so I no
I’ve not done that till now I’ll make that soon so it’s cute okay it opens like that I think it was very cheap it was again like less than $20 $18 or something opens like this and then the bottle
Is like ugly it’s first of all thank God it’s not a lighter which I for some reason I thought this would be a lighter but it’s like a freaking ugly bottle is like it’s like ew but you know what
It’s a very cheap perfume it’s a nice perfume as far as I remember so let’s like test it out this is classified as a gourmand floral so this is supposed to be it’s they compared it to Mancera’s
Roses vanille okay it’s very very floral it’s so floral like floral of floral of floral sorry my mouth is like you know my tongue is going in like this in my mouth on fragrantica this has got 3.78 I’ll tell you exactly what I don’t like about this perfume especially now because I reviewed
Ajwad this is exactly like Ajwad it also has that metallic note okay I know like a lot of people will like come for me for this smells very much like Ajwad but it is again like a failed attempt
Of roses on I said the same thing about Ajwad it smells so darn similar to Ajwad but I would tell you one thing this is more bearable than a this one at least I can say okay you know but that
Metallic note it’s kind of converting into like this ticklish Dill kind of scent and that’s again something that puts me off like big time it smells like um if I say this a lot of people are going to
Like come for me okay I’ll just say it you know In some cultures like people worship these Saints and stuff and then they put this blanket of flowers and then when you visit those shrines and stuff people keep putting those blankets of flowers over the the grave or the grave stone I don’t
Know what’s inside but there like a gravestone and you know the flowers become like old and ugly and everything but they’re still like dumping them and that area swells like this you know don’t hate
On me I’m just telling you what it reminds me of okay I’m not saying that’s bad wrong whatever no comments at all I’m just comparing it to the smell you get the fact that I know that how that place
Smells like you says a lot about me too but I smell this as a child you know um it is definitely better than Ajwad I will say that this is still more bearable but I will not keep this perfume I
Know for sure that I am not going to keep this perfume let me tell you the notes for this the top notes are vanilla white flowers and Rose as expected this is exactly like roses vanille middle notes of citrus powdery notes and yellow flowers base notes of coconut white musk and Orange
Blossom I have no idea where Ajwad went wrong and where this went wrong if you don’t like Ajwad you’re not going to like this if you like Ajwad you still probably this is going to be redundant
For you because they smell so so so similar so no for me no it’s horrible I don’t hate it as much as Ajwad so I’m going to give this two out of 10 it’s not much better but this is two out of like
Slightly better you know even on fragrantica got 3.78 so it says a lot about this perfume right Middle Eastern vibe check I would say light because it’s so heavy on roses so it just immediately goes to like actually it smells very Iranian or something something you know very like
Persian not even like Middle Eastern this is like spring summer if you want to wear it uh very very feminine I don’t think a dude can pull this off at all projection is like 2 to 3 ft and the longevity
Is like around 6 to 7 hours I don’t really want to get into this guys really it’s two out of 10 for me no let me just switch because I and I think this is the only perfume of Bait Al Bakhoor that
I have so anyhow this was also sent across to me by Paris Corner so it’s a PR this is Nouf it’s not noof it’s no okay and this one I think it’s like very very cheap it’s like $15 on their website but
I don’t know how much it’s available for you it’s like a very like a uh it’s just like a normal box I think the bottle is stunning it’s very beautiful I wish this was not there but even if it’s there
It doesn’t like really but the bottle is like very pretty it’s very cute yeah it feels cheap the cap and everything you know the cap especially is so light but the bottle feels nice I like this uh
Thingy over here it is uh embossed it’s not just a sticker which I like throughout the video I’ll be doing this now enough to my surprise I really liked it but you know what it reminded me of it
Reminded me of Asad by Lattafa so this smells like black excess for men basically yeah it’s pineapple heavy heavy heavy on pineapple smells just like Asad by Lattafa and black excess if you remember black XS for men was like a the all the Rave back in the days it was like everybody
Loved it all the men in the club were wearing this perfume you know it smells definitely very very uh manly but like a young man it’s not like a kid you know or a man man you know but it’s definitely so
Heavy on pineapple that it might not be okay for some people now I absolutely love Asad the perfume Asad on men I think it’s brilliant and that’s why even now for me it’s brilliant I think yes it’s a
Very clear dupe of black XS for men so I’m not even going to argue with the fact that they’re so so so identical to each other that it’s like if you like spray black XS on one side and this
One on the other you’ll be like it’s the same perfume you know plus the longevity projection and and everything on this perfume is crazy if you like Asad they both are almost the same price range so completely depends on which packaging you want you know like go for either or you know and
This is kind of like the annoying part of Middle Eastern dupes because it’s like they’re duping the same perfumes and then they’re in the same price range and then you’re just like which one is better I can’t tell you they’re literally the same I literally feel it’s the same juice I think
I have Asad there you go I actually have Asad so I’m going to spray this side by side so Asad is on this side and nor is on this side okay I’ll tell you there’s a difference okay there’s a difference
Now that I’m smelling Asad Asad has a little bit more incense in it it has like a strong incense wipe going on which makes it smell a little bit more mature this one is quite young and very very
Beautiful but this one is closer to Black XS than this one also this one is spicy okay so it’s not really exactly the same but Asad has been with me for like almost 3 years now off is like recently
In so I don’t know if this is going to mature and macerate and become like this so because I remember the way this one is smelling the way n is smelling I remember Asad smelling exactly like this but now when I’m smelling Asad is smelling quite different and quite mature the notes for
No are top notes of saffron and pineapple middle notes of Jasmine and fur Balsam and the base notes of oudwood Cedarwood cedar wood and Amber that’s just it that’s just it exactly how it’s listed exactly Jasmine is very mildly there like as a floral note not really like Jasmine you know but
The rest of it the Cedar wood oudwood everything but the oudwood is like very oud wood you know not incense like the Assad Assad was more incensy and I remember the celebrity I had given to Asad was Jamie Campbell Bower because I was like that guy must be smelling something like this it’s
Like weird you know and I feel like this was this perfume would suit him perfectly and by the way the pineapple here doesn’t smell like pee I know a lot of you complain that pineapple ends
Up smelling like pee it doesn’t smell like that at all so that’s good news and also uh it’s not juvenile it’s a young man but it’s not juvenile at all I wouldn’t mind Ali wearing this perfume at
All I don’t know if he’ll wear it or not because AA is something doesn’t gravitate towards and I don’t know like he has so many perfumes now because like a lot of perfumes I buy end up
Becoming like masculine to me and then I give it to him and then now he has like tons of them and he’s very specific about the perfumes he uses um so I’m a little like concern and I’ll tell him to
Like declutter some because if he’s not going to wear it’s pointless for it to just like they’re all there Ali perfumes you know so and that his cabinet like although he just has one section it’s
Full there’s no space over there so this is super masculine I think this is like all day all weather but it would shine more in summer and spring but I don’t see why not you can wear it during daytime
And spring uh so spring in Autumn winter as well but during daytime not at night the projection is like pretty good it’s 3 ft and the longevity is uh 7 to 8 hours now although it has u in it like
I wouldn’t call this a middle eastern perfume it doesn’t lean Middle Eastern the oudwood in this is very very mild Asad is leaning Middle Eastern but this one is not my rating for this is 9 out of 10
It’s a good perfume I quite like it I’m glad that they send this to me because normally like when they had sent me TaskeenI was like dude know your audience you know I will not like that perfume so
Yeah this is like a pretty decent perfume I hope Ali tries it at least or tries to wear it pretty good so that’s it guys I’m done with all the pending perfumes like I had so many perfumes
And I was getting so worried I’m like how am I going to finish all these videos cuz I really need to get into my compilation videos you know I’m I’m really late I really need to start like
Doing all those videos so the next one I probably will do a spring one first because like we almost out of spring already so I need to like do that so I’ll do like a spring floral kind of a thing you
Know and then I will do the summer and uh Freshies and stuff like that so that’s it for today guys let me know if you’ve tried any of these perfumes what you think about them I think this was like
Not a bad one but uh the Tohfa was like the Pink Tohfa was like a terrifying perfume it it’s giving me like flashbacks off when I smelled uh Ajwad and it’s not like good memories it’s a little
Bit like a traumatic event that happened in my life and I would like to forget it so part and parcel of life first world problems I’m trying to get into like going to shops and buying perfumes instead of like just blind buying perfumes so that I can save money first secondly it’s less
Of like critical reviews and more of like giving you good perfumes that I liked personally you know I don’t know let’s see like I I I want to see how that goes although like sometimes it’s
Good to review perfumes that I don’t like as well and then hear from you guys why I’m not liking those perfumes I learn a lot but then ah it’s all very complicated I’m sure it’ll solve
On its own by the way this ring is is one of my favorite Rings it’s an actual amethyst cluster why am i showing my face okay here so that’s it for today guys I’ll see you in the next one bye
