I have the La Rive version as well as Modest Deux. The La Rive turns magical after macerating for a while. I was disappointed in it at first and pulled it out while watching this video. It is COMPLETELY different than it was initially. The notes smell far better blended and way more intense. What a steal. I believe I only paid about $12 USD for it on Amazon.
Oh no really? My husband is a sucker for sweet perfumes on me. Especially when it sits on the skin for sometime. Welcome back Lucia, I have missed you 💕💕💕
I have Modest Duex and Taste of Kiss. I love Modest Duex. Taste of Kiss seemed to be very good after it's had a chance to sit for a while. I love them both the same. To me, the Modest Duex smells brighter compared to Taste of Kiss. So it really depends on what mood I'm in. As far as the original, I liked it when it had the incense. It's okay now, but I prefer the 2 dupes I have over the original after the reformulation.
I couldn't agree more with you ❤ My taste of kiss is in the maceration pile now and will be out in winter ❤ Until then, I will use up the other dupes. Modest Deux will forever be in my collection ❤
I have taste of kiss as well and totally agree you have to let it sit, I have had mine for about a year now and it has definitely improved, although longevity is still an issue, good thing it is cheap enough to spay often.
Interesting! I also purchased Taste of Kiss but not as a dupe, just because it looked like it smelled nice. I did not like it when I sprayed it a few times to test and put it away to sell. After watching this video and reading your comment, I pulled it out and it does smell better after sitting for a couple months! Before, it had like a play doh smell, it smelled really synthetic, now the scent is much richer and well-blended. I think I'll keep it for a bedtime scent. Why not at the price?? So thanks for your comment to suggest the masceration, it's hard to tell which scents will need it. I have really been wanting Modest Deux, though! It seems like it's different enough to warrant having both.
I've heard from a perfumer that if you take the atomizer out and take it outside and spray it completely dry...it gets all the chemical smells out. As you said they are often just made and they don't give them time to macerate. So when they bottle them so quickly all the chemical smells come to the top and haven't had time to escape. That's why so often people are put off immediately...when if they sprayed it out they'd get to the beauty of the scent intended. It also does help to let them sit....but to smell immediately...spray out the atomizer. I just found you and love your take on fragrance...will be subscribing...I really appreciate your views. I've been on a perfume journey and gone down rabbit holes learning every thing about them...❤❤
Signature True and Modest Deux are on my wish list. 😁 Great review and comparisons! I wear any perfume, at any time. In the winter it is so cold that I figure that wearing evening type frgrances is acceptable all day. 😄
Nice review dear. I hv Modest duex , Jazzab gold nd signature true. My favourite is Jazzab nd modest duex. Ur earings looking beautiful with ur dress nd ya u r sooo sooo beautiful from inside nd outside😂. ❤❤❤
Thank you my gorgeous hun ❤ I am going to try and reply to all the previous messages as well but very slowly. Today is my first day at work after the surgery ❤❤❤ Love you so very much!
You know for some reason I never got into Paris Corner, Fragrance World, Pendora etc. Thats a whole new world for me lol ❤❤❤ The earrings were from Shein btw ❤
I love La Nuit Tresor. Got the big bottle at Heathrow duty free last year. I love Jazzab gold as well. It gave me strong incense in the beginning. Certainly different and interesting. It has now macerated to it's truer form. I am in the countryside this weekend and that is the only full size perfume I took along and I fell in love. You might be getting anosmic to it because I could still smell it hours after especially on my clothes and hair. I wore it today and I was getting wafts from my dress all throughout while the one on my skin became a skin scent
Never smelled la Nuit tresor, I blind bought jazzab based on your review and Wow I am in love. By wearing jazzab I know I need la Nuit tresor. I'm even planning on back up bottle for jazzab. I really love it. I'm surprised you are getting longevity issues, on me it lasts 5 hours plus. And that was before I macerated it. It's still in the cupboard, will update once I start wearing it again in September.
OMG! I love Jazzab so so sooooo much! Maybe I am getting anosmic to it? Next time I wear it, I will ask Ali to tell me how it smells all day. I will also get my hands on a back bottle hehe. What a gem! ❤❤❤
Hi dear Simin, thank you so much for your wonderful video. I love Modest Deux and love wearing this one. I have not got the other scents you mentioned and am trying to be strong and not be tempted right now 😅. Sending love from a sunny warm spring ( already) like day in Tasmania, Tia 😻😽
Hello my babes! ❤ I followed you on Insta ❤❤❤ You are a very dear soul. Oh no don't buy any of the other ones babe. They will be redundant to your collection if you already have Modest Deux. Which happens to be the best dupe anyways ❤
@@SiminShaikh Hi dear Simin, I saw your lovely face on Insta ❤❤❤ and also follow you on TikTok. I love seeing your posts and I think you are a very dear soul as well. I am glad that I finally got Modest Deux, they sent me the wrong perfume but I would not give up and love that perfume so much. I think personally I prefer wearing Modest Deux to Tresor La Nuit. I have a tiny bit left of Tresor La Nuit but will not buy it again as I do truly love Modest Deux. Lots of love to you ❤❤❤😻😽
Modest Deux will forever be in my Top 10 Middle Eastern perfumes for life! ❤ I have actually never heard of Nusuk. Lemme research on it for a bit. I hope they are available here
You look nice Simin. Dupes are helpful when favorite fragrances are Discontinued. I also love lychee. In Dubai I visited a market for easy access to exotic fruits, fresh pressed Dragon Fruit Juice every day .
Thank you so much my hun ❤ You are very kind. I miss Litchi so much :( The dragon fruits here are quite bland. The ones in Global Village, in the Thailand Pavilion are soooooo good! ❤❤❤
You're the best! 💕 You know I have an issue with watching YT videos on 2x because I am super impatient hehe. So I imagine people watch my long videos on 2x as well Hehehee
Hi! I have La Nuit Tresor a La Folie. I recently bought the La Rive dupe. I really like it! Did you clear the pipe? I didn’t get an alcohol smell. I also bought the La Rive dupe for Poison Girl. Need to save some money when I can 🤭 I adore Modest Deux. Love your earrings too 😊
Heyaaaaa Love! Oh I need to get my hands on A La Folie before it goes out of stock. I believe it is discontinued. I think my La Rive is not macerated. I am sure in a few months it will be great to wear. Until then I can finish up the pther dupes hehe ❤❤❤
Love this scent. I can remember when Avon sold Tresor and I bought it 4 my mother all the time. Lancome ended up buying it from them and the price definitely went up just it was still beautiful. Thanks ❤ #simsquad
@atin4353 it was Tresor. Same name same bottle. Many of our favorite scents and makeup are owned by the same big corporations. Nothing changed about it. But the price! ❤️
@@mztremias mann... This makes me want to hunt less popular brands..I feel i might be missing out. Do you know any other great perfumes from cheaper brands?
What a great video. Thanks Sim. I have Ameerat Al Arab and I know it is an OG perfume that I remember from years ago. Do you know what it is a clone of? Anybody out there feel they knew it from before? It is an old time perfume.
Okay so update. I got it on Friday. It's such a beautiful fragrance. But, the longevity is sadly short. I got 4 hours of bliss before it disappeared completely. I'm going to let it sit for a couple of months to see if that'll help (because it's Soo good😭) I'd gladly respray though
Great, I've been looking on that one for awhile but I could not find many reviews on it. Maybe I need to risk it and get it, if too many start to talk good of it, it's impossible to find, at least for decent price
Hello beautiful arabian Princess ❤...here is another one. From Pascal Morabito...Lovissima. Here in Germany is about 20 Euro. Should be a good Dupe for La nuit Tresor. I buy it....but not recieved it yet. Maybe you can get it in your Country 😊. Much greetings from Germany 🥰
Hey my gorgeous Angel ❤ Pascal Morabito has been on my radar lol but I did not know Lovissima was a dupe. I think I need to try this house ❤ Thanks for letting me know babe. Sooooo much love from sunny Dubai xo
exactly what i needed! I have a small doubt though. Modest deux intrigues me the most because of its cherry note. But it's way harder to find when compared to the other dupes you've mentioned. Should I still wait and find modest deux or go for signature true? the mention of citrus is throwing me off.
Oh no. I am afraid I will confuse you more lol. So I would definitely wait for Modest Deux. The thing is that Signature True is also such a good perfume, so I don't want to stop you ❤
Great review but might as well buy the original as it's on sale cheaper than the best dupe available in the UK. Is there a dupe for the original Angel? I know you can't stand it but it's my daughter's all time favourite. Mine is Shalimar! 🙏
Oh man! Shalimar brings back so many memories. I am planning on revisiting Angel hehe. Because I have a feeling I will like it now since Patchouli does not bother me anymore. I will definitely work on the dupes for your daughter ❤❤❤
@@SiminShaikh Amazing 😍 can't wait, your channel has inspired me to invest in Middle Eastern perfumes, it's your fault I've opened Aladdin's cave, but I'm loving it!
Ajmal sacrifice for her is a dupe for original angel, I heard. I never tried original angel so can't say about that, but I like the sacrifice on its down. It's though new purchase for me, so can't say much of it yet. Sim, thank you once again for your lovely video. I so enjoy all of them. Of these I have modest deux and I love it. It's easy to find on Europe, same as la river version.
Hi 👋 Simin, do you have a video of Middle Eastern fragrance for office wear? I'm new to your channel & Middle Eastern fragrance... it's breaking my bank 😆. I'm in ❤️ 😍 they smell soooo nice
Heya hun ♥️ The closest one was L'Aventure Gold by Al Haramain and Sotoor Seen by Rasasi. But they are the same genre and not dupes. Still on the hunt for a perfect dupe ♥️♥️♥️
It is by far one of my fav finds amongst my Middle Eastern fragrances. Initial spray might put you off coz it smells cough syrupy. But once it sits for a bit, it is a nearly identical dupe for Poison Girl, which is my top 5 for life 💕
Hi. Is there any different bwtween jazaar gold and rose gold? I found them twoo online with same notes and Im just confused now. Which one you have? Thank you 🤗
I really wasn't impressed by taste of kiss when it arrived.. it just smelt a bit off to me. I've had it around 5 months now and it's smelling alot more recognisable as a La Nuit Tresor dupe. 😊 xx
Hey sweety I want know ur thoughts on Sher al Sheila by Swiss Arabian. Pls pls make one video on all ur jammy nd sweet rose 🌹 ur favourite type of perfume list. I will enjoy that review. How is ur health now?? Still u r not replying that much. Lots of love nd hugs 😘 💕 💕 💕
Hey Babe ❤ Today is my first day at work and still the pain has not subsided because the stitches have not healed yet. It really sucks coz cant sit because the opening was from the Urethra till the Vag. Plus my catheter failed so it was quite hellish
@@SiminShaikh omg 😳 pls God give strength to my dear Simin ❤️❤️🙏🙏 I can totally understand becoz in year 2022 I hv done 2 major operation of my uterus. First to remove fibroid nd then after 8 months again uterus removal with fibroid. All this process is very tiring nd painful. Love u dear take care nd rest as much as possible.🫰❤️
Yea babe. I am getting better by the day. I had a minor surgery but its recovery period is very long. Plus my Fibromyalgia was acting up due to the stress of the surgery :(
Oh no sheesh! I did feel it was too diluted to be salvaged. I was planning of getting other dupes and now I wont. Plus it costs me wayyyy too much to get it shipped here to UAE 💕
It makes sense to buy La Rive perfumes if you are based in Europe, since they are a Polish brand and readily available in drugstores. I can get the100 ml bottle for 10 euros. For the money spent, they are excellent quality. I get decent longevity for this specific one, around 6 hours if I spray on clothes. It indeed was a bit alcoholish when initally sprayed. I let it sit for 6 months and now it's perfect!
Simin thanks for replying, wow i felt so special haha 💖. well I blind bought bint hooran but unfortunately I didn't like it cause it wasn't smooth and sweet "tonka note" as c.h good girl it's a bit more synthetic or kinda chemical for me i don't know if it's the tobacco or what but u got something a bit annoying and strong sharp not smooth. but that's for the price cant complain haha 😂❤.
