Rating Middle Eastern Perfume From Least to Favorite in Collection with Maria

Welcome back to Middle Eastern Perfume Escape! Today, we're thrilled to walk you through an engaging exploration of Middle Eastern fragrances as shared by Maria on her latest YouTube adventure. Maria's collection may not be the largest, but it's filled with intriguing scents that beckon a closer look.

Maria’s Growing Collection

Maria starts her video by introducing us to her collection of 19 Middle Eastern fragrances, with more intriguing scents on the way. She highlights Paris Corner Emir Oud Crescent, a fragrance that captivated her due to its similarity to Frederic Malle's Crescent Moon but stands out with its unique raspberry and cigarette vibe, intertwined with rose oud.

Exciting New Additions

She's particularly excited about a few fragrances she has on order:

• Emir Oud Crescent  by Paris Corner: Described as masculine with a robust rose oud profile.
• Pistachio Khair by Paris Corner: A sought-after scent that consistently sells out, leading Maria to settle for a decant for now.
• Mango Punch by Paris Corner: Inspired by Vilhelm Parfumerie's Mango Skin, this fragrance promises a lush, ripe mango scent that Maria anticipates eagerly.  View our decant collection

Fragrance Reviews: From Least to Most Favorite

Maria’s approach is straightforward as she rates her fragrances from her least favorite to the top picks in her collection. She starts with Badi Al Oud Amethyst by Lattafa, noting its beautiful bottle and quality but is turned off by the metallic tinge in its rose scent.

A few notable mentions include:

• Al Haramain's Amber Oud (Gold Edition): Likened to Erba Pura, yet too sweet for Maria’s taste.
• Pascal Morabito's Sultan Noir: A smoky, spicy vanilla that leans too masculine.
• Khamrah by Lattafa: Loved by her sister, it’s too sweet for Maria, filled with sugary dates and syrupy notes.  View our decant collection

Maria’s favorites start shaping up as she discusses Ornament Parfum by Afnan, which reminds her of Olympia Intense with its salted amber caramel vibe, making it a sexy, sun-goddess-like fragrance perfect for summer evenings.

Top Picks and Surprises

As she reaches her top favorites, the excitement builds:

• Yara Tous by Lattafa: A synthetic yet intriguing blend with notes of mango, passion fruit, and coconut.
• Badee Al Oud, Honor and Glory by Lattafa: A cozy, spicy pineapple cake fragrance ideal for cooler weather.
• Baroque Satin Oud by Lattafa: A powdery, soft fragrance with a luxurious feel, though not for everyone.  View our decant collection
