I blind bought Shaghaf Oud and was blown away at the power and longevity of this beautiful scent for the price point. Really curious to try more from this house now, so thanks for the video!
Omg! I bought 3 already to add to my huge collection. And- Casablanca is beautiful, the Oud, the one in the gold bottle that suppose to smell like Oud Bouquet, that’s amazing and I’m waiting in Florence. What a perfume house. Well, done.
I love Middle Eastern perfumes Maison Francis Kurkdjian who created the famous 540 it's a middle eastern fragrance it's been known to the Middle East for over a hundred years but thanks to Maison Francis Kurkdjian who introduced it to the world in 2015.
Shaghaf oud is my favorite perfume by far. I also have Florence, which reminds me of Mancera roses vanille a lot but stronger and at a much lower price. I have just purchased Casablanca and I love it too. Greetings from Madrid.
Hi, I ordered Florence, Cassablanca, Shaghaf Oud and a couple of other SA fragrances from watcning your videos . Thanks for the recommendations. I love all of the these blind buys.
I have shaghaf oud and I really enjoy it ! I also wear Oud bouquet that I really love and yes I would say this is a good dupe for Oud bouquet. It reminds me a lot of Velvet rose and oud from Jo Malone too. Now I want to try more from the brand. Maybe Layali or Casablanca ...
Ordering the Casablanca! And I was going to get Shaghaf oud for a oud bouquet dupe but you’re making me want Casablanca! This makes me so happy bc I want so many! Gets expensive! Thank you Sarah!🤗
I’ve been curious about Swiss Arabia, I’m glad you reviewed. I go to a middle eastern store near me and they have the most gorgeous perfumes. Their bottles are mind blowing.
Sarah Mayes I wish you did too. ❤️ I have two near my home. One is Souq and one is Al-Medina. I lose my mind in there. They also carry Al-Rehab roll on fragrances. Those are so inexpensive. I’ll send you pics next time I go. The perfume bottles in Souq are stunning.
I love Casablanca, too! Swiss Arabian offers sample packs of their perfumes and concentrated perfume oils. That’s a great way to try a lot of their offerings and they usually have coupon codes on their site. Their customer service is great. They gave me a bunch of free samples with my last purchase on Black Friday.
when it comes to perfumes all that I care for is the longevity and loudness Therefore, hopefully Layali and Casablanca are powerful enough to add them to my collection 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh wow I thought I was the only one who couldn't tolerate Oud Bouquet. All I got was that dirty rubber smell as well, it was so overpowering and unfortunately it lasted so long I couldn't get rid of it. It almost made me sick. It was literally the only perfume I ever returned. I was amazed more people didn't have this reaction. Love your videos btw!
@@mightystrong5484 just click on my name... it should lead you to my RU-vid channel "Scentsibility" look through my videos for my perfume bottles and my perfume oil collections.
Hi Sarah, beautiful video of your introduction to Swiss Arabian 💕. Thank you for sharing it. I love Swiss Arabian and I have about 9 or 10 including the CPO. If you like gourmand and sweet scent, you might want to try Royal Mystery, I love RM to layer with their Oud fragrance like Wajd, Shagaf and many others or just wear RM by itself. Its yummy 😋
I really like Florence. A lovely Rose light Oud. I got it mixed with Ragba, which is absolutely for very experienced deep Oud lover, although I really like Lancôme’s Oud. Shagaf Oud is way too strong for me, I guess I need more sweetness. I love Casablanca. Oud Carmel apple for sure. To each his own. Also love Layla perfume spray. The bottle is too die for. I am going to get it for a friend for her birthday because she collects perfume bottles. I don’t know if she will like the scent but know she will love the bottle. Swiss Arabian Inara is a lighter feminine Oud with Rose and vanilla; better for hotter weather.
Girl!!! They last forever...shagaf oud is one of my favorites. I wear layali and musk malaki as a base for my perfumes...you gotta try wajd so good for the colder months and hamsah for the hotter months
@@SarahMayes you will not be disappointed.they give generous samples too so always ask for them when you check out. If you like Burberry black for women mix it with wajd from Swiss Arabians omg so beautiful for winter last alllll day!
@@troecurov3 wajd is unisex and is very nice. As far as the other selections for men I am not too sure as my husband does not wear oud. They offer samples though and usually with your order will add extras
Shaghaf oud is fantastic! I got soooooo many compliments on it! I purchased mine from the marina group on ebay And they sent me a ton of samples! I smelled each and every one of them and absolutely love them all at this point! I've only been able to try two on at the present time and 1 of them was Casablanca! The other 1 was Mutamayez if I'm not mistaken and they were fantastic!
@@ElizabethMorales-dd2lt I'm not sure how to do that period I took a screenshot but don't know how to get it to you. Marinagroup they have a 98.9% feedback rating on ebay.
That's exactly what happened to me with Oud Bouquet! It even triggered a migraine and almost made me dislike all other fragrances that slightly resemble it. So I'm trying to take it slow now. I love Casablanca! One of my all time faves!
I'm a plum lover and am very curious about Layali (my curiosity started when you first featured it in a previous video 😁). Would you say the plum takes any prominence, or is it more of the clean laundry smell you mentioned? Btw, thanks for giving us a cheaper, less oudy version of Oud Bouquet. 👍
Thanks Sarah, you really know how to review a fragrance....in fantastic style. Loving your videos, loving the content and extraordinary passion for these stunning scents. Keep up the good work.
loved this! you should check out the gourmand edp collection from urban outfitters if you haven’t already! they’re half off today, i have a bunch and i think you’d love them!!
I just bought the 40 sample set as I have Shagaf Oud and Shagaf aswad but now I’m really interested in the Casablanca, Florence, Valencia, and the Al shela 😅. I couldn’t decide on which ones to buy so I figured sampling them would be the best. Sometimes I think a perfume will be great on me and a lot of times when I blind buy I either love the smell but it doesn’t last on my skin or I end up hating it.
Hi Sarah, I have watched a lot of your videos and have placed an order, I have 2 of the Swiss Arabian fragrances, Shaghaf Oud and Edge for Women, love them both. OMG, I am turning in to a perfume junkie! Have you tried the Lataffa House? Greetings from a new subscriber in Canada.
I just ordered Casablanca and curious to smell that and i am also planning to order Florence. What is the difference between Shaghaf Oud and Florence? I am not a big fan on Shaghaf Oud, it smells like cheap attar to me.
Sorry Sarah lol I know I’ve been hounding you down on these fragrances but I’m in an Oud mood! I don’t like smelling to masculine or powdery....and I’m new to Oud....so I wanna get something that is still very nice to wear...if you were me (based on the tid bits I gave) which would you go with Shaghaf Oud or Florence?
Sarah Mayes Good Morning 🌞 Sarah! I received my samples for Shaghaf/Florence/Casablanca and I’m so happy I ordered them before I blind bought them. I am absolutely in love with Florence ❤️ and not so much with shaghaf. At first I liked it...it had a warm vanilla oud scent...but there is something else in it that is odd and I can’t pin what it is. I like oud...I really like it in Alien Oud Majesteaux...but in Shaghaf it’s a little rancid for my taste. Casablanca was pleasant, but Florence was divine! I’m going to order a full size. Thanks for the help!
Sarah, I’m curious if you have come across any Arabian scents that smell quite similar to Bath & Body Works Into the Night Thanks for posting and sharing ❤️
Hi there! Lasting power is a good 8-10 hours. Sillage is good for about the first 6 hours and then it starts wearing closer but it’s a really good performing fragrance. I spray liberally. ❤️
I have Majestic Woods by Juicy Couture it is too heavy can you suggest another fragrance to layer with this to bring the Oud down. It's very masculine.
Hi Sarah, I've been dipping my toes in the 'Swiss Arabian' line and im interested in layali, but I can't seem to find the spray version like you have, may I ask where you purchased this one? 😊
So Florence is the same juice as shagahf oud🤷♀️? I don't need both? Please let me know because i have them on my wish list thanks Sarah you look so fresh and lovely 👸🏻😘.
Hi there! I totally agree with Joy. Florence is heavier on the rose, lighter and sweeter than Shaghaf Oud which is heavier on the oud and less sweet with less rose. They are different enough that having both wouldn’t be like having 2 bottles of the same perfume.🥰🙏🏻❤️
Hi there! I don’t get the scent of grapefruit at all. I think it contributes to the really bright opening but this smells like apple, caramel and oud. It’s stunning. 😊🙏🏻❤️
Omg the bottle 's are so beautiful! Sarah do you know : Zarkoperfume Cloud Collection nr 2? Its realy the best perfume i have ever smelt,please if you can try it! Its a Danisch brand ❤️ ( sorry for my bad Inglisch) Thank you and lots of Greetings from Holland 🇳🇱
I got my Casablanca today from Fragrancex but the juice is not dark like yours. So now I'm worried. It smelled really good, don't get me wrong but I'm confused to why mine had a much lighter juice inside
So glad I finally got to do it! I’m also so glad you turned me on to Casablanca. My husband absolutely loves it and it has oud in it. I can’t believe it. Lol 😘❤️
They are. I am pretty certain that when you order on amazon they are coming from the Swiss Arabian US website. There is a question on amazon where someone asked that and the seller responded as such. I hope that helps!
Sara, I love the hair wraps/bands that you wear with your hair up in some of your videos. I’m on the hunt for the perfect one that doesn’t slip. Do you get yours at a particular store?
Hi There!! These two are quite sweet so it would depend on your taste. If you are someone who likes to wear things that lean masculine I don’t think these would be for you but if you don’t mind sweet with a touch of oud/apple/rose then I think you would enjoy them. ❤️
Resala is considered a magnificent fragrance, loved by so many. Even the reviews here on YT, amazing how many love it. So I bought a decanted sample, OMG.... OUD explosion. I just don't get it, to me all I smell is the oud, and none of the notes everyone raves about. What is wrong with me
