Hello gorgeous soul ❤I do have the old formulation of Empire Victor and for me, a beginner in oud is not disturbing at all..to my surprise. Is the most refined vanilla, nothing I have smelled before and that pinch of animalic twist gives it such a seductive allure 🥰

[avamarshall]

I have Shahd on right now. I love it. So much. But it totally just clicked for me when you said White Diamonds! It does remind me of that! It’s definitely not the exact same, but similar. I definitely prefer this one to the old white diamonds though. This is like, vintage …but upgraded. Haha.
…also, you look stunning today!♥️

Yay! Thank you!! I have been raising this question about Empire Victor after viewing Cee Chronicles' review. I thought isn't she mentioning that oud? 🤔 I trust her reviews. And yours, too. My bottle is the old formulation and is from January 2024. It wasn't a love at first sniff, but I kept returning to it. And now I love it! I'm keeping it because it could be a collector's item! But I'm still gonna wear it. I've heard the new formulation is inspired by Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex. No idea, never tried it, never will because it's out of my price range. 😂 Anyway, thank you for clarifying this, Simh! 😊

[mariamel-fahoum]

Love your videos as always. Shahad smells very similar to Narciso Ambre. I have them both, and they're very similar to me

[Klogn]

I love the Rave Now! It's a beautiful dupe of Burberry Her. The bottle is unique.

[nickygrujovski]

I am so glad you clarified the differences. I recently tried Empire Victor the old formulation. I really disliked it ! The oud was too animatic for me. Now I’m excited to smell the new Victor. I absolutely love Vanilla. I cannot purchase it here in Australia YET ! Love your content ! 😊

I just got my Empire Victor and I love it🎉 Does perfume actually make you cry ??? It did to me!!! I had tears in my eyes from joy and happiness of this aroma . It is heavenly sweet and there not many things in this world that can make you happy in one second. I think this is why so many people collect perfume . It is like time in a bottle, memory, emotions that connected to certain smells. It is aromatic treatment, therapy in pretty bottle you can reach in a draw . Thank you, Simin. Because of you I got this perfume.

OMGosh I can't believe they reformulated Trust! It was perfect! I love it on my husband, and he loves it too, he reaches for it more than anything else. Thanks for the heads up, Sim. I'll tell him to ease up on it to make it last. Sounds like the new one is more feminine, and you're right, it sounds like it's inspired by Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc.

I want the new Khadlaj Empire Victor so bad but I can't get my hands on it in the US yet. I hope it's available soon. I need 2-3 bottles based on your description, I am such a vanilla girlie!

[lisabafundo]

I'm SO glad you've cleared up the confusion with Khadlaj Empire! I was also wondering why, WHYYY! isn't anyone talking about the BIG BARN OUD? 😂 LOL! I have that HIDEOUS pink bottle of Rave Now..much sweeter than B.H.Elixer less sophisticated..I don't dislike it layered with other frags. I'm happy to see you've tried Shahd😊 to me, although I'm not a tropical yellow floral girl...it does remind me of Dolce Garden minus the coconut note..I been layering with Alien Godess/or P.R. Olympia Solar 😉 magic together😙👌❤🥰

I just purchased the new empire victor and trust and it arrived today. My empire victor I mostly get florals and lemon and the dry down is very soapy with choco musk vibe! Was hoping to get the boozy vanilla. Wasn’t a strong vanilla for me at all! And it also didn’t last. Production date was April 2024 so I thought it would have been ‘matured’ but maybe i need to let it sit?

[Yaa]

Khadlaj should have named the new formulations differently. There was no need to confuse ordinary folk.

[matsecookss]

Hello Simin.

I just got mine ( Empire Victor). Mine smells like a ban yard, and it's a January 2024 formulation. I guess the batches are different, or we all have different olfactory experiences. I am going to let it sit for a while to see if the ban yard note will fade off. I still love it though.

For now, Khadlaj Flor Oud and Le prestige Empress are my favs. I them. 10/10 😍😍😍

I'm becoming a huge fan of the house of Khadlaj. 👏🏻❤️👏🏻

[Erin-gqst]

Thank you so much for clarifying the reformulations in this video!❤❤ I have been wondering about Empire Victor, and I didn't realize they had reformulated Trust or Bold. I bought Le Prestige Bold in April, and I do really enjoy it. To me it does have some similarities to Baccarat Rouge but is definitely different, so I'm not sure which version I have, whether it is the original or reformulated version. But whichever version I have, it is a beautiful fragrance and I will enjoy wearing it. Although I wish I could smell both!

[DDH]

"REFORMULATION" is usually such a dirty word to a frag head 😂😂😂 Simm, I notice more and more acceptance of Oud in the States 😊 it seems the more exposure, the more appreciation for it. That's just my personal observation. 😊
Simm, yes, Shahd is so nostalgic, I love to wear this frag with vintage clothes 😍 my grandma left me some designer Dior, Chanel, even a Halston hat. FUN 😁 These pair well for sure. Thank you as always, marvelous vid and very informative 👏 👍 👌

[petyachakarova]

The Trust 25 new version is so so gorgeous! I love it. 😍

[HeritageCarriage]

I love white flowers Jasmine, Gardenia, Lily of the valley, orange blossom !!

[jackiewashington]

Thanks. I have DG Devotion and I think I will wait for Empire Victor and consider Trust. I just received Khadlaj Sensuos Night and I love it.

[lauraadingmburu]

Rave now does smell like that eraser you were talking about 😊 but, it's a lovely English summer scent. Very strawberry short summer dress vibe. It's also a great layering scent. Goes particularly well with Amouage, especially for those who find the litchi in Amouage a bit challenging.

[SagaDatura]

I love vanilla and oud, but that original formulation of Victor sounds a bit intense for myself 😅 may have to add the reformulation to my sniff list! It sounds luxurious.

Thank you for your videos, as always! ✨️🩷✨️
