BEST Middle Eastern Perfumes for Women To Smell Expensive on a Budget Featuring New French Avenue Fragrances with Joanna

Hello Fragrance Explorers!

Today, we're delving into the enchanting world of Middle Eastern perfumes with Joanna, who has recently been blown away by some affordable yet luxurious scents from the Dubai Collection. If you're a fan of niche perfumes but not their prices, you're in for a treat. Let's dive into the fragrances that stood out in Joanna's latest exploration.

Voux Patisserie by Paris Corner

First on the list is Voux Patisserie by Paris Corner, inspired by the renowned Zerjoff Italica. Known for setting high standards in the gourmand category, Italica has a reputation for its lush, sweet, and creamy scent profile. Voux Patisserie mirrors this with notes of marzipan and caramel, smoothed over with a gentle saffron and underpinned by creamy sandalwood and musk. It's a thick scent but not overwhelming, making it perfect for those who love rich fragrances without the heaviness. Joanna notes that it holds its aroma for over seven hours, making it a lasting delight. View our decant collection

Eclair by Lattafa

Next up, Eclair by Lattafa presents itself as a near-perfect dupe for Giardini di Toscana's Bianco Latte. This fragrance envelops you in a decadent blend of caramel, vanilla, milk, and honey, catering to true gourmand lovers. Joanna prefers Eclair over the original Bianco Latte, finding it less overwhelmingly sweet and synthetic. With excellent longevity and a pleasing projection, Eclair is ideal for cold weather comfort.

Qissa Delicious by Paris Corner

Another noteworthy mention from Joanna's collection is Qissa Delicious by Paris Corner, a cozy blend of chocolate and marshmallow with a touch of orange in the backdrop. This fragrance stands out for its fluffy, chocolatey essence that doesn’t lean too heavily into the gourmand territory, making it versatile across seasons. Its unique blend includes whipped cream and dark chocolate, providing a deliciously warm and inviting scent that lasts. View our decant collection

Tropical Kiss by French Avenue

Joanna also raves about Tropical Kiss by French Avenue, a tropical concoction that perfectly captures the essence of ripe, juicy mangoes. It’s touted as a superior alternative to Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss by Stefan Humbert Lucas, especially for those looking for a summer fragrance that’s rich yet refreshing. With a composition that balances juicy mango with subtle chamomile and ylang-ylang, it’s a standout for warm weather.

Rabat Diwani by French Avenue

Moving to Rabat Diwani by French Avenue, Joanna introduces a scent that marries grapefruit and vetiver with a soft touch of peach and florals, leaning towards a more feminine profile. Ideal for summer, this fragrance shines with a fresh, citrusy vibe, complemented by blackcurrant and cedar notes, making it a refreshing choice for the warmer months.

Beirut by French Avenue

Another gem is Beirut by French Avenue, which Joanna describes as the coziest and most lactonic scent she has encountered. Reminiscent of Zadig & Voltaire's This is Her, Beirut offers a soothing blend of pink pepper, lily of the valley, sandalwood, musk, and benzoin. It’s a cloud-like scent that’s both potent and comforting, perfect for those who adore soft, milky fragrances. View our decant collection

Mirage Exclusive by French Avenue

Lastly, Mirage Exclusive by French Avenue impresses with its luxurious blend of cardamom, coffee, jasmine, incense, and oud. This rich and warm scent is perfect for colder days or evening wear, offering an opulent and spicy aroma that feels both modern and timeless. It’s a scent that promises to turn heads and leave a lasting impression.

Joanna’s journey through these exquisite Middle Eastern scents highlights not only their affordability but their remarkable quality and sophistication. These perfumes offer a gateway to luxury without the hefty price tag, each with unique qualities that make them worthy of attention in any perfume lover's collection.
