Hey everybody. I visited a store in abudhabi where they had massive collection of Lattafa, ard al zaafran and arabiyaat. Was searching for midnight edition and saw the price. Like this just costs 1700 pkr here while in pakistan, they are getting much more expensive. I myself bought it for 3k pkr plus DC.
Hey everybody how r u guys doing? So today I have a reccomendation for you guys for the summer and it's streets of cairo by scents and stories which is an impression of Hawas. Got this bottle 9 months ago as an engagement gift, and it's actually my 2nd bottle (blasted through the first one in about 2-3 months because I love the DNA). To be honest, I actually prefer this over the OG Hawas—it has a slightly more "soapy" vibe that just hits right.
When I first opened it, lasting power was around 4-5 hours. Totally fair and justified for the price point. But fast forward 9 months later... maceration is real, guys.
Put it to the ultimate test this past Saturday.
It was 44°C heat, and I was going out for a cricket match.
Applied 2 sprays on each side of the neck, plus a few on clothes and hands. Left the house at 4:30 PM.
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Absolutely loud projection. It was cutting through the 44°C heat like crazy for 1.5 hours.
The Twist: Came back home, washed up, and relaxed. Fast forward to 3:00 AM (11 hours later)—I scratched my neck, and the scent rubbed off onto my fingers so strongly it shocked me.
Easily 11+ hours of total longevity now that the bottle has sat for a while. It projects heavily for the first 1.5 to 2 hours, and clearly stays a close-range bubble for the rest of the day. If you have this bottle, let it sit for a few months. It turns into an absolute beast for the summer.
Hey everybody! How r u you doing? Hope you all are doing really well. So let’s be real—you don't need a massive collection of 50 bottles to smell elite. If you just want to cover every single occasion, every season, and every time of day without destroying your wallet, this is the exact lineup you should buy.
Get these 9 fragrances and that's it. Your entire rotation is locked for life:
**Office / Daily Driver: CDN Urban Man Elixir**
My take: The ultimate dumb reach. It’s like Sauvage and Aventus had a baby, but way smoother than regular CDNIM. Performance is stupidly good for a daily—easily lasts the whole work day without offending anyone.
**Summer Nights / Casual Hangouts: Oud Al Layl Midnight Edition**
My take: Don't let the name fool you, this is a straight-up clone of Hawas Ice. Super minty, icy, and loud. When it's humid as hell outside and you're chilling with friends, this cuts right through the heat.
**Summer Special Occasions: Hawas Black**
My take: The OG Hawas is a bit played out, but this darker, fruitier twist is something else. Perfect for summer weddings or evening events when you still need serious projection but want to look sharp.
**Winter Day Time: Liam Grey**
My take: Honestly, the quality on this for the price is total robbery. Clone of Gris Charnel. Super cozy, smooth cardamom, fig, and black tea vibe. Incredible for a crisp, sunny winter afternoon.
**Winter Night Time: Oud for Glory by Lattafa**
My take: Absolute powerhouse clone of Oud for Greatness. It's got this dark, deep, woody oud profile mixed with saffron and a touch of sweetness. In the freezing cold winter nights, this stuff cuts through the air like a knife. The longevity is insane and it screams sophisticated beast mode.
**Winter Weddings / Big Events: Khamrah Lattafa**
My take: Presentation and juice both feel straight-up niche. Smells like a warm apple pie mixed with cinnamon and boozy dates. You wear this with a crisp suit or heavy winter wear and you’re set.
**Date Nights: Stronger With You Intensely**
My take: Saved the best for close encounters. It’s pure dark caramel, toffee, and amber. Massively addictive. Girls absolutely love this profile because it's so warm and cozy.
**The Formal Bad-Boy / Alpha Vibe: Armaan by Funoon (Tuscan Leather Impression)**
My take: For around 2800 PKR, this is wild. Pure, raw, unapologetic Tuscan Leather. Smells like a luxury sports car interior mixed with a hint of raspberry. Wear this with a leather jacket when you want to look commanding.
**The Ultimate Dark Mystery: Black Fume by Ahmed Al Maghribi**
My take: Man, this stuff is a masterpiece. To me, it feels like the ultimate combination of Oud Wood and Tuscan Leather. It’s got that rich leather and a juicy raspberry hint, but it also packs this heavy, dark oud and a crazy "burnt wood" note that gives it an incredibly smoky, mysterious edge. Pure boss energy.
Hey everybody. Yesterday while i was chatting with my girl, she came across an idea and told me to guess the prices of her dresses. I am a rookie in this sh*t and I failrd soo badlyy. Then I asked her to guess the price of my perfumes and this is what happened lol.
Hey guys. I just picked up Imperial from the House of Lavish which is an impression brand of Uae. They make high quality impressions of Top Notch perfumes. This is Imperial and this is an impression of Bois Imperial by essential perfumes. I would personally not say this is a 1-1 of the og but it is a good impression. Around 85 to 95% similar and it's really amazing. You get that fresh, earthy green vibe with woody accord which makes it smell so luxurious and Sophisticated. I really loved the scent profile of it. Gonna test it's performance and tell you guys how it performs. Normally, I've tried their various perfumes and tbh, there lasting and projection are too good but some of their products do not match the perfumes especially in the top notes. Like they are impression of that perfume but you are gonna notice alot of diffrences from the initial spray.
Hey everybody. How r u all doing? Hope you're doing well. So I just wanted to share one of my most complimented perfume which is from the house of ARMAF. It's frok there most viral or hyped up line Club di nuit. This one is called Club de nuit Urban Man Elixir. It's a fresh spicy, bold, masculine, fruity, aromatic and citrusy fragrance. Shen you first smell it, it will remind you of 2 of the most lobed fragrances of all the time which are Creed Aventus and Dior Sauvage edt. This lasts like a whole day on skin and clothes and projection is wild. I even got complimrnt from it after 6 hours of wearing it without re applying it. I got compliments from my friends, family, and also from the people in wedding asking me what are you wearing. Drop down one of your most complimented fragrances in your collection..
Here are the weakest performers in my current rotation:
This is basically a body spray in a glass bottle. I’m doing 10–12 sprays just to get through a game of cricket. By the time the match is in full swing, the scent is already a ghost.
Longevity: 2–3 hours (if I’m lucky).
A spicier take on the Dior Sauvage DNA. It’s a skin scent within 30 minutes and totally dead by the 2-hour mark.
Longevity: 2 hours max.
This is about 85% similar to Sauvage EDT. It smells a bit synthetic in the opening, but it settles down eventually. The main problem is the "EDP" label—it tops out at 4 or 5 hours max.
Longevity: 4–5 hours.
Imagine BR540 Extrait but drowned in white musk. Looking at the notes, you’d expect this to be a nuclear beast that sticks to your skin for days. Reality? It barely hits 5 hours on skin or clothes. Huge letdown for a musk-heavy fragrance.
Longevity: 5 hours.
Hey everybody. Blessed jummah♥️. I was wearing Black Fume by Ahmed al maghribi to the jummah prayer today. In Pakistan, we have to use Fresh, light and citrusy perfumes in this heat so we do not choke others and they don't get offended by our perfume. But in UAE, it's not the case, here we can use any perfume that you like om any occasion and in any weather. Black Fume by Ahmed al maghribi is a strong, oudy, woody, mysterious type of scent with notes of Leather, raspberry, woods, ambroxan and Oud. To me, it smells like the mixture of Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather, Ombre leather and Oud Wood and it is one of my favourite scent from around 60 bottles of perfumes. If you guys want to smell like arab, this is the one. What were you guys wearing to Jummah Prayer?
Can any one confirm if it's legit or no please?
Hey everybody. From the past 2 days, I've been seeing alot of posts about the nee Khamrah flanker called Khamrah Waha. It's for summer and they are gonna release it very soon. As someone who liked Khamrah and Khamrah dukhan, I'm really excited about this one too. It's not a clone of anything and i can see something unique coming. What yoi gugs think? Would you consider buying it?
Hey everybody. I got back to UAE and Today is my first day of going out. The temp here is 39°C and I am gonna rock D&G pour homme edt today. Obviously gonna reapply or carry a decant with me but this is really an amazing soapy and clean fragrance. D&G pour homme is a citrusy, fresh, aromatic, soapy and clean fragrance perfect for summers and is one of my favourite freshies out there. Btw, what are you guys wearing today?
Hey everybody. How r u all doin? Hope you'll are doin good. Some of friends from my circle asks me what type of perfumes should you wear to office or work and I always suggest them some light, citrusy and fresh fragrances that do not offend others and are mass appealing. Here are some of fragrances that I would really suggest for office because they are really mass appealing, non offensive and blind buy safe.
1.Hope Extreme: A sharp, masculine mix of citrus and marine notes with a strong woody dry down. Great for high heat and office wear. Not too loud, not too weak, just enough for people around you to notice.
2.Daarej: A spicy, oriental-vanilla scent. It’s sweet, warm, and famous for its cumin and cardamom punch. Just 4 to 5 sprays are enough if indoor works and won't offend anyone if you are working in AC environment.
4.Streets of Cairo: Take on invictus Dna but more soapy and clean. Great for office wear and highly likeable.
Hey everybody. Got these 2 as gifts for my friends in uae as I am going back to UAE from Pakistan. I have tried soul brothers and will also try crimson tales. For sould brothers, I just smell lemon or orange peel. It's a bit punchy to the nose in the beginning though. On the performance side, I woukd say pretty good for such a citrusy fragrance. I applied around 10-12 sprays and it lasted for 7 hours on skin and around 10 hours on my clothes. The projection was also veryy good and one of my friend told me you smell like "malta" after 3 hours and he was around 1 feet away from me. However, I did not like the scent profile cause I am not into all citrus based fragrances as they are boring imo
