Hey Simin! I just wanted to say that I ADORE you. You’re what I imagine sunshine would be like if it took on the form of a human being - warm and cheerful and so radiant❤ Watching you instantly brightens my day. Though it’s my first time commenting on this channel, I want you to know that I adore ALL your videos! Would love to hear your thoughts on Lattafa Teriaq if that’s something you would be interested in reviewing ❤️ Loads of love!

Oh bless my hun ❤️ Thank you soooo much for your kindness, you have no idea how much that means to me. Taking time to leave a comment is more than I can ask for. So thank you really. I am definitely getting my hands on Teriaq. The reviews are so conflicted so I want to make up my own mind you know ❤️ I hope it is a stand alone perfume and not a dupe. Much much love your way beautiful soul xo

I catch both for myself😊the gold one because it’s similar to Paragon but more on the feminine side, and the blue one, because i like these spicy, woody, fresh scent. I never go for the typical female/male declaration.

Your review is much appreciated ❤ I bought Caprice and I must say I am surprised by the quality and persistence of this perfume (not YSL, but still way above your average middle eastern brand). Also it is very close to La Nuit de L'Homme in the opening and mid notes, a bit less in the dry down. It is not like Bleu Electrique, maybe because there are no or not many aromachemical/acetates present. But amazing perfume. Also the longevity is very good. A few good hours... on skin! Maybe I got a good batch. Thanks again!

I have Al Hashama and Vintage Radio. I wear both combined. A little more sprays of Al Hashama (plum) for the spring/summer and more sprays of Vintage Radio for the fall/winter. Al Hashama needs to macerate for a few weeks. The plum starts off really boozy and screechy before maceration. The plum will smooth out and it’s beautiful… if you like plum. 👌🏾 Al Hashama Caprice shared its DNA with both La Nuit de L’Homme Bleu Electrique and the OG version. I have a sample of Bleu Electrique. Simin is right… oooh lala 🥰

I absolutely agree with you. Nashama is getting so much better after maceration. I was getting a weird soapy vibe which is nearly gone now and the last time I wore it, I really did enjoy it. I think it need one more month of maceration ❤ Ali has almost finished the Nashama Caprice lol. He loves it soooo much!

Hi Simin ❤. Great timing on the first you reviewed as I saw it was a dupe for Vintage Radio, however, that BOTTLE, so unattractive but the notes and reviews are amazing. I won’t be purchasing either of them until I find a better bottle for VRadio dupe 😂

Hey my Hun! Guess what. So basically Lattafa made two Paragon dupes that I know of now. Vintage Radio and Al Nashama 😂😂😂 I wanna cry lol. I got Vintage Radio via my sis from US who came to visit me. I wanna do a side by side of both just to decide which one is better. I hate those bottles too!!! What an eye sore 😂 And the heights done match either lol. What an awesome idea to make your own bottle ❤❤❤ I will ask my niece to bedazzle mine for me 😂

Hi my Hun, another wonderful video. I so get when you talked how your brain shut down because of wearing a perfume that just did not 'compute'. I really understand and get this feeling. I have had this happen with a few perfumes in the last 3 years or so. You walk around and actually feel confused about this perfume and end up leaving it, sometimes going back and back again to smell it again and again. Sometimes it ends up as a big like as you begin to fall for the perfume , others it is just "Nah, not my cup of tea" and "what were they thinking" "clashing note jungle " type of perfumes. Gosh, the Caprice bottle is so beautiful, I almost want to buy it for Gerry ( so I can have the bottle later 🤣😂😅) but he said he has far too many scents now. I also said I would stop and not be tempted for a while. Still loving "Gentle Gold" ( wore it yesterday for some appointments and got lots of lovely compliments) as well as Fragrance World's Barakkat Satin Oud, these 2 are to my nose incredibly well blended perfumes that do not seem to have any screechy top notes but are just really well rounded type of perfumes. So I have reached my limit of ' new ' perfumes for now and will try and really enjoy the ones I have and try and vary them. The trouble is that when I fall in love with a perfume I tend to want to wear it a LOT and need to discipline myself not to just wear one but to vary it, but even then sometimes I say after a day or 2 , I must go back to my new ' addiction ' . I must admit that ( I hear groans and I realize it is a disliked perfume but it is now one of my signature perfumes) Opulent Red is like this for me. I has also macerated so well, am now at the end of the first bottle ( 4 more spare bottles in my perfume large perfume wardrobe downstairs ) and that perfume is something that I could not quite compute but loved at first spray and wear. It kept drawing me in and just writing about it makes me want to smell it although I know exactly how it smells. POD is Rare Passion as this is also a true love. Sorry about the LOOOONG comment but watching you I just feel you are here in my lounge and I am chatting with you my dear friend😍🥰. I wish you a lovely rest of the week, you are in my prayers and thoughts, always in my heart. Smoochies to Markus😻, purrs from Pushkin 😽and Sunti 😻and love and light to you my angel, from warm sunny Tasmania 🌏🏖🌞🦘🦜, your sister from another mister, Tia ❤😘❤

Hey my gorgeous Babe ❤ Right?! Some perfumes are very confusing. And you are right, it will ultimately be a hit or miss and if its a hit, it will be a blockbuster! 😂 Let Gerry deplete his stash and by that time, I hope that the price will come down too. Hehe. But yes, you must keep it in mind for him sooner or later. Ali is sailing in the same boat. There were too many accidental masculine scents that have been put on his shelf and he is begging me to stop lol 😂😂😂 I still need to get these from Fragrance World, but they are seldom available and if they are then they are over priced. I will buy these once I go to the perfume market. I am the same babe. I also have like 5 perfumes that I cant stop picking up and have to force myself to choose something else. The problem is that if any of those 5 get over, I will buy them again lol (the 10/10 range). So I understand your plight. Hehe. Perfume Sister's are relating 😂😂😂 I still need to get my hands on the Opulent Red and it is quite reasonably priced here. Like maybe 15 dollars max. So I will get it soon. My Rare Passion is down to its last drops lol. Please don't ever apologize for the long comments. You have no idea how much I love chatting with you my dear hun ❤ I feel like I know you since forever ❤❤❤ So much love & light your way beautiful babe. May you forever be blessed, happy, at peace and loved. Soooo many kissies to Pushkin and Sunti. This is Sim signing out from also very sunny Dubai hehehe. Your sis from another miss (see what i did there? 😂), Sim ❤ P.S. I hope Pushkin had a wonderful Birthday ❤❤❤

@@SiminShaikh Hi my beautiful sis from another miss ( love how you created this term, it somehow sounds better 🤩😄.) Yes, Gerry will eventually get that as a gift, had to giggle at Ali sailing the same boat 😅🤣. I so hear you, those top 5 scents will be bought again and again, Amethyst has already got a back up bottle and my beloved Opulent Red ( Gerry teased me I love this because of its name and me being a red head 🤣) has 4 back up bottles ( extreme , I know , but I got so scared it may get discontinued as I come across so many people who seem to hate it. ). Opulent Red to me is a whole symphony. I opened the bottle and sniffed and was like "Whaat? Yeah , I love it, but what is going on there? " then I sprayed it in the air , walked away , but had to put test it on my skin as it was ' screaming at me to wear it' , I came back in the room and thought "Wow" Beast mode, sprayed it and thought "Overload" . So many notes but I could not stop sniffing it and in fact COULD NOT CONCENTRATE. It was like it took over my mind 😂. I did not get any nasty notes people mention, the top note is perhaps a touch sharp but as it macerated it is now warm and it never bothered me as within 10 to 15 minutes on my skin it becomes a rock symphony and ends up say an hour or 2 later into this incredibly haunting dramatic epic love ballad, 4 hours later it dries down even more and turns into a soft gentle love song ( on my skin) and yet when I move it returns to an epic symphonic rock ballad . Its lasting power is incredible on my skin and I LOVE wearing clothes that I wore after wearing this perfume as they smell of it. I am totally obsessed by this perfume. But I get why other people may hate it. It is not for some. It also depends on your chemistry. I can just about smell each of the notes ( and some more) and you would think there are too many notes playing in this epic symphonic love rock song but somehow it all works, the softer warmer notes make it all so incredible. I get loads of compliments. I am writing all this as a disclaimer in case you hate it. I really hope you will love it though. If you like it a quarter as much as I do, it will be a success😃. Our Pushkin's birthday is on the 26th, so 2 and half more weeks until we have a cat party 🐈🐱😻😽. I so love your videos, I sit here nodding, smiling and yes, even replying. ❤ You truly are so wonderful and you are so authentic and vibrant and lovely. I also truly feel like I know you since forever ❤❤❤ . I feel so blessed. I was able to do the housework yesterday as I got my mojo back after watching you. I had a disappointing appointment with my doctor, as there were no good news, Long Covid symptoms are here to stay for a while it seems and are aggravating my Fibro into a bad flare and all the coughing reminds me that perhaps I should have had the spinal surgery 15 years ago to take out 3 discs in my neck and widen the spinal canal and have a fusion because I am now in a lot of pain. But there are so many wonderful things in my life, so much love and light ( like you ❤) so I am OK with things and just need to adjust to this and be patient and hope it will improve at some stage. So much love & light your way beautiful babe. You really are so wonderful and please know you are always in my heart & my prayers. My lovely angel, wishing you a wonderful weekend, sloppy kisses to Markus 😻 (sorry for the twitching whiskers 🙀) , purrs from our orange kitties and much love and light to you, always, your Tia 😘🤩❤🌏🌞🦘🐱🐈

I'm getting both soon and cannot wait!! Caprice for my hubs (it's his bday today but I already got him two other fragrances) and the OG Al Nashama for myself! Al Nashama is a sweeter version of Paragon. More feminine leaning. Vintage Radio is also a Paragon clone but more masculine leaning.
