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.

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!❤❤❤
@jmercadobeauty
3 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 😂

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.

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.

Irish Coffee is one of the worst fragrances I have smelled. I could not get myself to liking it at all. Very strong harsh opening, and no coffee or boozy anything in the opening. Then after the initial disaster opening, the dry down is just horrible. It smells like vomit mixed with rotten soil and hay, and burnt milk. 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. One, if not, the worst fragrance I have ever tried and bought, simply disgusting.
