Top Swiss Arabian Fragrance Reviews

All right, guys. I cannot believe I didn't think of it before. I mean, I did. I have. I have thought a bit about it actually for over a year. I just don't know how I didn't get to it. Uh I guess now I feel like um what I want to show you is complete. I have enough. I've tested enough. I've decluttered enough. Now I know my top 10 Swiss Arabian fragrances for life. Um, I feel like the brand is amazing. It's been very, very long on the market. And what I really, really love about them is that they have amazing quality. Uh, and they do not release hundreds of fragrances a year. You actually get three, four max a year. Uh, as far as I am concerned, which is great. They act more like a prestige niche brand than you know all these big Middle Eastern brands that are releasing fragrance after fragrance. I feel like they really take their take their time and uh Swiss Arabian not only it was one of No, it wasn't one of it was the first Arabian brand that I discovered and purchased from myself before I started YouTube. Also uh it was I think also the first brand uh that gave me a chance in the industry and started sending me some stuff. So you know I I have a very soft spot towards Swiss Caribbean and the team uh because we really grew together. I feel like you know it's been so many years now. Um and here I have a compilation of truly the best fragrances from Swisserian for men and women, unisex. Uh we have some very girly, some are a little bit more masculine, but in general, they're all pretty much very unisex. So, uh keep in mind that I've received so many fragrances and oils from the brand, which I'm very grateful for. However, it was just too much. at some point. So, I I gifted um a lot of these fragrances to my friends and family uh and in some giveaways as I remember. So, these are the ones that I truly truly always want to have in my collection. There are two that I do not have and that's only because uh one bottle broke uh and I was super sad about it. I need to repurchase it. One bottle broke and one bottle actually got stolen by my mother. Okay, so that fra one fragrance is in my mother's house and I'm going to start with that. It's Casablanca. Super old. But when actually I have a wait, I think I have a samp Yeah, I have a sample from a set. That's what I'm left with. uh having such perfume obsessed mother. Oh yeah. So Casablanca was one of the first that I got. First one was of course shahav. The second one I got was Casablanca. And in here we have apple, grapes, woody notes, iris, pachuli, caramel, amber, suede, musk and parabal. And mainly what it is uh is uh it's a very fruity, appleley, grapey, almost peachy like caramel, musky scent. It's absolutely stunning. I I really adore it. It has very good longevity. Uh the bottle is not the best. Uh you guys are probably going to ask, "What about the essence of Casablanca?" also from Swiss Arabian which is uh I think the extra of of this fragrance. I did smell it in Dubai. Uh actually uh that's where I met uh the owner's daughter. She's such a great person. So I I did smell the essence of Casablanca. They're pretty much identical. Maybe the essence of Casablanca is slightly stronger. Uh, but also the price is way more hefty than the original Casablanca. So, I honestly would say go for the normal cheap version. It's gorgeous as it is. It lasts. Uh, it projects, it will give you compliments there. There is no need to spend um so much money on that essence version. It's still great if you want to go ahead, of course. Um, but I would stick to the OG. I would really stick to the OG. All right. The other bottle that I do not have, and that's the bottle that broke, and I was so devastated. Um, and it's been nowhere to be found online. I couldn't find it anywhere. I think uh only end of last year, um, this fragrance started showing up online again. Uh, so I'll probably grab a bottle soon. And that is s a sha. Se aa is one of the most beautiful rose woods ever. It is a perfect perfect alternative to rose dei arabi from armani p. Also I would say it's a very very very good alternative to santal hu from gerlang. Santal is a bit more masculine. So aa is more uh leaning towards rosy arabi from Armani. It's more feminine and sweeter. So in here we have spicy notes and oud rose, another oud, jasmine, iris, pachuli, another oud, amber and vanilla. Um, it opens up quite spicy, but like a very soft spice, not a a harsh spice that gets into your nose. It's a very soft spice. And, uh, I love this fragrance, and I remember every single stage of it. It's so good. Uh, the oud is very pleasant like in all Swiss Arabian fragrances. Uh, you don't really get a harsh barn oud here. So, this is a great company to start with if you want to get into it. Um, it's a beautiful rose vanilla, slightly puli, slightly spicy, but again, like a very mellow spice of a fragrance. It's gorgeous. If you love rose diarab um from Armani, then you absolutely have to get this one because it's a fraction of a price. So, come on. I'm definitely getting a bottle soon. All right. Um, then we have something that I truly cherish and nobody really talks about it. Uh, maybe because uh um maybe because people think it runs m more masculine. I don't know. Um, but it's absolutely phenomenal. It is amber07 and I would say if you love a muage material and scents in that genre. So like a beautiful Middle Eastern warm sweet amber with vanilla quite uh balsamic quite balmy then you have to have this. Okay. Amber07. It's gorgeous. My boyfriend fell in love with it when uh we recorded our mutual version of this video. And he's obsessed. Uh and this this has been like my secret weapon for a very long time because again, not many people talk about it. So when I would use it, everybody would be like, you know, what are you wearing? I've never smelled something like it. But uh I have to say it's quite quite quite similar similar to uh material from Ammoage that I personally really really love. I love having such fragrances in my collection uh because they are beautiful alone. They're amazing to share with your partner. Um and also they are amazing to layer more sweet fragrances on top of them or rose fragrances on top of them. They such fragrances like material and amber07 really make the magic happen in your perfume collection. Uh so trust me on that. You absolutely have to have something like this. This is of course um the cheapest alternative I can um propose to you because material is very expensive. Um something that's mid-range uh that's very similar uh is only nomad amajar very very similar just as gorgeous. So when it comes to the notes, we have amber, dates and cinnamon, rose, orus, elangilang, sandalwood, incense, vanilla, and pachuli. And to long to put story short, long story short, um this is a gorgeous sweet amber, a little bit incency, but not too much. Uh slightly rosy, but again, not too much. Uh quite vanilic, definitely comparing to the other notes I just mentioned. and vanilla is more prominent. Uh it has some dates and cinnamon for sure. You can smell that and it has a beautiful uh sandal woody balmy vanilla incency base. It's amazing. Uh definitely definitely get it uh because it's going to be your staple. Uh if you layer it with a vanilla or a rose or even like a more middle eastern leaning white floral, guys. Guys. All right. Uh let's go with this uh collection actually uh because I have three more. No, four more from this collection. Uh this one is definitely the most versatile. They wear fragrance. This is like your perfect feminine girly scent for everyday. It's perfect as a signature. Do you even still have signatures scents? Do we still do that? I don't even know because for me, like how how um this one, let me just get a blot strip. This one has been my favorite for many years now and it's my second bottle already. It's Musk 07. So another 07 and this is a musky floral pomegranate fragrance. It has pomegranate, black car, lily of the valley, rose, musk, and pachuli. Uh it's simple yet not very simple. It's very very classy, very elevating. It smells clean um but still gives you that nice fruity uh touch. Many people compare it to Millora from Pathos the Marley which probably does have some aspects I must agree. Um it's so precious. It's beautiful. It's uh so so wearable. Uh this one I would say definitely goes mainstream. Uh, you know, it could easily be marketed as Arbani sea flanker and you would believe it. Nevertheless, it's easy. It's super wearable for any occasion, any weather, spring, summer, even autumn, winter, it's fine. It's just amazing. So versatile. Mask 07. The best mask that they have. They have some others. You look for number seven. Same with the amber. Amber 07 and same with the oud. This is oud07. Now 07 um is your subdued everyday friendly version and very regal version. Super niche smelling um super super expensive smelling. Paulina cut to the chase. This is basically uh your everyday version of shahaf wood. Okay. And this is more subdued. This is less sweet, more rosy and a little bit more fresh. Nevertheless, it ab it's stunning. Stunning and still has a beautiful longevity. Yes, it is lighter in texture. It's not as cloing. That's why I'm saying it's like more refined, more more regal, you know, more perfected. Uh definitely more rosy, not as praline, more rosy. You still have beautiful vanilla in the dry down, but this is life. This is life. So in here we have rose and saffron, praline. Still you see you have that praline oud akigala wood white amber vanilla and musk. Uh this is super potent of course it's uh very similar to oud bouet as well just like shahav oud is this one is just very very smooth again refined and again more rosy less praline less in your face less harsh for sure. So if you like the scent but shahav is too much for you which I understand uh then get this. This is phenomenal. So that is 07. And speaking of shahav uh it was the my first fragrance uh from Swiss Arabian uh apart from Casablanca and then aa but I think I got shah wood first. However, I'm not showing you shahaf today. Uh, if I were to choose my top top top, I would skip the original Shahaf Oud and go for Shahoud Elixir. This is a newer version of Shahaf Oud. And again, this one is way more refined, way smoother, so much less harsh. Uh, however, this is definitely more potent and more in your face than our Udo7. Udo7 is still totally bearable during the day. It's a strong perfume. It will give you over 10 plus hours of longevity and great projection, but it is softer than Shahaf. Uh, Shahaf U elixir for me is the best. It's the best. Um, because uh, the original Shahav um, makes me feel suffocated pretty much always when I wear it. This one for this, it doesn't happen. Even though it's still super strong, super strong, ultra potent, uh it's not as cloying and it's breathable. It's it allows me to breathe. Shahav, the original is too harsh on the muskes and ambers and and the prryine. I cannot handle it. I have it. I have a new bottle standing next to me actually. Um, but if I were to choose and if I were to um really recommend you something phenomenal, the Alexir version is better. And don't be afraid of the amount of oud that is in here that I'm going to read you. It's still a very subtle oud. So, we have oud saffron pink pepper again. Oud praline rose sage and again oud vanilla amber musk. with the sage also don't worry that much because to my I know this sage is way less saging than for example in Rouge Malakit okay in R malakit I really do detect sage a lot and that one is too much for me so think of that in here the sage is way more subtle uh so I think it's totally bearable for everyone and again it's it's pretty much like shah wood just with no harsh edges. That's how I would describe it. Still potent, still strong, but no harsh edges. 100 times better. And I wore it for the New Year's Eve. And the amount of compliments I got was insane. So very, very happy with the elixir version. Okie dokie. Uh since we are in the shahav topic, I'm going to show you all the shahavs apart from the elixir that I also recommend very very much. Uh let's start with this. This is Shah Ahmar and this is your perfect k from Titana orapura DNA but again perfected and with no harsh edges yet extra extra potent. So in here we have peach, melon, bergamot, frieia iris, apple, amber, rose and tonka and then amber, vanilla, musk, sandalwood, cedar and wood. Am I preparing an orchestra to play? Tell me. Am I? I don't know. Imagine I did. And now you have trumpets. Yeah, whatever. Again, I don't drink, just so you know. Um, I would say this one is more comparable to Eravapura Magika than to to the original Eravapura because for me, Eravapura Magika is again softer with no harsh edges, not such a harsh mask, more vanilla. This one is kind of the same case. It's very fruity, extremely potent. Uh, I would skip any [Music] other thing like this. You know, there are so many on the market. I would I'm going to tell you straight away. I would skip on the original Edapura. I would skip on Amber Gold from Alharam for sure. I had it. I had it and I hated it. Uh, I would skip on Kirk from Titana. I would not skip on Jasmine Wisp from Razazzazi. I still love it. Still have it, guys. Still use it. It's not exactly the same. It's more of a passion fruit coconut scent. I would not skip on that. Um then what else do we have here from the Jubes? Uh we have souvenir desert rose from Afnan. I would skip on that. It's not as strong as this. Um so that's that. I would say this is the best ervapura for the best price. And again for me it's more of a magika ervapura magika way better than so that is the fruiest shahav I am here to show you. Okay. Next is a fragrance that's um heavily compared to the fragrance I hate uh which is honey from Montal. I hate that fragrance. I hate honey. I have it. I hate it. This one is such a better version. Trust me. Like this is so much better. No matter if you're a guy or a girl, just get it. If you like boozy honey uh amber fragrances, this is Shah Azarak. Gorgeous bottle. They really look cute together. They when you put them all together when you have more than one. So good. Good feeling. Good feeling. You know, it's always a good feeling for me to have like the whole collection lined up. It just looks so good. Unless the bottles are hideous. From some brands, they are, so I have to hide them. But when they're nice, it's goals. Okay, this one has honey and oud, cinnamon, vanilla, and amber, pachuli, and leather. Uh, no, it's absolutely not similar to amber07. It's not redundant to have both. Um, this one goes more into that, you know, Middle Eastern dates, cinnamon, warm amber, vanilla. This one is like a boozy honey. Um, it's like a nice uh lounge bar of a fragrance, like very very sexy. This one doesn't go Middle Eastern at all. This one actually smells very much like Jack Daniels. Um, in many ways, especially the honey one. Especially the honey one. In here, you definitely do smell oud, but it's still for me a subtle oud. Comparing to Montal's honey, there's no oud. Honey is so barnyard. just I cannot I cannot and you guys know I love my oud. I really am not afraid of oud but don't get montel get this instead and thank me later. It's amazing. Uh this leans a bit more masculine but it's still unisex enough that us girls can wear it. It's extremely sexy. That's all I can say. So that's uh Azarak. Um then we have uh another Shahav. Of course uh as you can tell uh Shahaf is probably my favorite line, but I think it's not only me. I think it's most people. Uh of course here we have Shahaf Tonka. And this is a great alternative to BDK Velvet Tonka. Do I prefer this over original? No. Um, I would say if I had to choose between one or the other, no matter the price, I would get BDK. It's uh softer. It's uh it's not as powdery. This one is definitely more powdery. Very, very potent fragrance. Um, I would go for the original. Unlike with the other situations, I would go for the OG. But I still think that for the price, you cannot go wrong with this fragrance. It's super strong, uh, it will give you compliments and it has pretty much the same DNA. You have almond, orange blossom, cinnamon, and Turkish rose and then tonka bean, vanilla, and amberwood. And it's it's really really gorgeous. But keep in mind that it's super extra potent. and think of velvet tonka from BDK and make it even stronger and more powdery. It's strong. Okay, nevertheless, great bang for your buck. Great bang for your buck. If you are on a budget, don't even think about it. Don't even think about getting BDK. Uh, you know, this is just my personal preference. Uh there are multiple people who much prefer the Swiss Arabian version over the original. This is for me a rare case where I do prefer the original over Swiss Arabian. Um but other than that, I would really not hesitate. Okay. Uh the last shahaf uh that we have here uh is going to be the newest one uh and that is uh shahav vanilla toffee and it's truly amazing. It's super gourm ultra ultra gone fragrance. Uh it's definitely a warm spicy vanilla. In here we have toffee coffee. It actually rhymes. Toffee, coffee, vanilla, walnut, dates, cardamom, milk. Then we have brown sugar, vanilla, woody notes, tonka, benzoin, vanilla, caviar, and musk. Uh, another super strong fragrance. Um, it might slightly remind you of Amore Cafe from Monsera, but I much prefer this one. If I were to choose 100% this DNA over Amore Cafe, 100%. This one is so so sweet yet so smooth. Uh it's gooey, gloopy, and delicious but in the best way possible. I love this. Uh and it gives you extraordinary performance. So I cannot recommend it enough. It's so so beautiful. If you are into gourmans, don't walk, run. Okay, I think we're done with Shahavs. Uh we're going to go back to that weird cap collection for a minute. This came out uh with vanilla toffee. Okay. And that is tobacco 01. And this is amazing. Uh, but I do prefer it on a guy uh rather than me. This is amazing how I wear it. I mix it with vanilla toffee. They they basically released these two to go together. So, you can mix and match depending on your occasion. You can wear this alone or this or together in different proportions, right? So, this came out with it. And this is uh it is very tobacco for sure. But it's also quite fruity to me. Uh you have plum and pineapple, licorice, pink pepper and cumin, lagdonum, amber, pachuli, elang, honey, tobacco, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and cashmere wood. So um this one might uh you know have similar notes slightly um to Azra. Azraak is way more honey vanilla and boozy and amber07 just to compare quickly. This is way more like amber proper amber reinous middle eastern dates uh dessert with cinnamon. This is like a Middle Eastern journey in the Junes, you know. Um this one I think it's very I would say it's uh it's very appropriate for European market and US market. Um it's super wearable and it's very appealing. I would say it's very mass appealing. Um however most fragrances for men that are considered mass appealing I usually hate. This one I really love. Um it's very nicely blended. It doesn't have that typical colog smell that I really do not like. Uh so I love to smell it on a guy. Again, me, I mix it with vanilla uh toffee. So yeah, that is the tobacco 01. They just released incense 01. I didn't have a chance to try it. Also, it's not on Polish market or even I guess European markets overall. It's not available here, so I cannot even test it. Um, maybe sometime soon the brand will send it to me, but I don't really know. It seems very nice. Um, people say it's similar to on from Matia Premiier, which is a great thing that we have a dup for that because for me, Matia Premiier, even though I I've got free fragrancees from them, it's a bit overpriced for what it is. They're very simple fragrances if you really think about it. Uh, so that's incense 01. I'm just mentioning it. I haven't tried it, but it seems very, very nice. Okay, last but definitely not least is I think honestly the best rose ever. I said it in a very valley girl way, right? Like the best rose ever. I should stop this. I should stop. Polina, what is wrong with you? Okay. The best rose ever. Honestly, this for me is better than Delina. It's uh better than probably even at home from Inio with this. I might still debate on that, but it's close. It's that good. So, it's close. And it's actually a mix between Atomic Rose from Inio and Delina. It's a pretty much a beautiful mix of these two fragrances. And it is my one and only. It's my second bottle, by the way. Roso one, guys. I use it very sparingly. My cup broke a little bit. It's everything is inside. You know what I mean? I hate when it happens. Rosa one is the rose. I put it on very high pedestal and not only with Arabian brands. No, all fragrances that I have, all roses. It's just as good as a road uh ro as um Joe Malone rose absolute. Uh it's better than again it's better than the Lina. is better than any delina that you might think of. It's uh better than Yeah, almost better than Atomic Rose. That's probably the only one that's a step above it. But other than that, nothing like it. This is the best rose. Period. Period. If you love rose, sweet roses with a lot of vanilla and um quite musky, uh there's surely some amber in here even though the notes don't suggest it because we have luchi, bergamot, pink pepper, bulgarian rose, peie, nutmeg, musk, vanilla, and kashmir. I'm 100% sure that there is some amberl like molecule here for sure because it gives you that reinous depth uh when you you know get it in the dry downh I've been raving about this for three years now like I I'll give you a break I'm just saying the best rose okay to sum up love Swiss Arabian Uh, love their concept that they're not flooding us with 20 fragrances a year. Thank you very much. Uh, if I could choose my top top, okay, let's say my top three. Top three, I would say it would be for sure Rosa one. Like this is a non-negotiable. Rosa one 100%. Uh then I would definitely go for shahav elixir because it's great for going out for events. Uh I love to have my massive sand bubble and of course I can mix rose 01 with shahav elixir. So that would be that. And because I have this mixture I probably don't need udo7 to be honest with you. Like if you have these two, it's not going to smell the same of course, but you know, I have so many to choose from. I cannot choose another rose or another oud. So these two [Music] and [Music] probably vanilla toffee. Yeah, probably vanilla to all amazing. That's the thing that that's what's the worst about it. They're all amazing. But uh that is it, my darlings. That's all she wrote about Susra Arabian. Uh again, check out the brand. Uh unfortunately, I do not have uh a coupon code for them on their website. Uh but I will try I will do my best to link those fragrances for you below uh with the best prices that I can find. uh you will sure have a 15% coupon code on DXB website uh that ships around UK and uh European Union. So that area is covered for you. And for the US uh I will go ahead and have a look for you. You can always count on me um that I get the best um deals for you that I find that I can that I'm able to. Okay, so that is it and see you in my next one. And before we go, uh please let me know which brand I should do a top 10 of next. Okay. Uh we've done Hadlash recently, so I'm not going to repeat that. You have my best and worst. Uh but maybe something niche. Do you want to do Mikv? Do you want to do Kajal? What do you want? Tell me. Let me know. Um I'm really really into roundups. So, I I'll hope you find something that might interest you and let me know.
