Cotton Abyed

I hated Cotton Malaki but this one’s more tolerable. I don’t think I like plum notes. For me it’s sweet and headache inducing screechiness, but way more tolerable with this than Malaki. Maybe with maceration I’ll like it better. The other notes smell divine, but that plum keeps irritating my nose. This one isn’t bad, though. I’ll give it a try for some time before I make my final decision Ok update!: It’s about 2 weeks later and I did a couple of sprays ,just playing in my collection, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the screechy note was minimal and only lasted a second while this dried down into something *very* similar to the Wedding Silk Santal/Khair Felicity, but I wouldn’t say a “dupe”.....maybe cousins. I also already had some Tahara Vanilla on the same wrist and they go well together. I actually love this and it’s insane how these Arabian perfume houses will have you ready to throw out money spent if you don’t let them sit for a while, first! Now I’m wondering if I should go get the Malaki out of my declutter/giveaway box and see if my mind changed about that! Update 2: So it’s interesting that there are comparisons to Angham which I didn’t like but didn’t dislike. I’m letting my Angham stew for a couple of weeks before I take it out again. When everything is good and settled , I’m going to compare Khair Felicity , Angham, Wedding Silk Santal, and Cotton Abyed. To me, Khair was the closest dupe to the Kayali, Angham smelled like something completely different( but maybe like...a 3rd cousin) and Cotton Abyed smelled like a totally different perfume. I love them all except for Angham, so I can’t wait to see what my Angham will smell like once it matures/macerates. Update 3( as of May 7th): I sprayed Angham on one wrist and Cotton Abyed on the other and there are similarities. They smell very similar except Angham’s ginger note is way spicier and it has less sweetness, but I can now see the comparison. Final Update( Aug 12): I love this so much that I bought a second bottle. I love Angham, too, but they’re not dupes for each other but they do layer well together.

Pleasantly surprised by this fragrance. To me it was strong right when I purchased it I know a lot of other reviewers say they couldn't smell anything but I think it probably needs to macerate then.. I've only tried mod vanilla at the store so I can't directly compare it.. it has similarities to Silk santal but not a dupe as I don't love silk santal it's too musky to me .. but this is sweeter and airier and less musky thought the musk is still present. There was something else it did remind me of and that is lattafa ana Abiyedh rouge.. which I don't like because it has a Band-Aid smell to me, but this one does not, but it still has that same airy sweetness. I don't know which aromachemical gives that off ethyl maltol maybe? I also smell it on Greenwich village and br540 and cloud etc.. Either way I think this is a really good fragrance especially for the money.. it's not super unique as I'm sure many people have smelled something similar as I have. But what it does it does really well!

this perfume is perfect. i got it cause i saw it smelt similar to mod vanilla by ariana grande, normally i’m pretty skeptical when people say that but i would say this is at least 95% the same. there’s a very very very slight difference but if i smelt this on someone else, i would 100% think it was mod vanilla. i’ve seen people compare it to khair felicity and personally, i hate felicity so i was very happy to find out they don’t smell alike. i think if you like mod vanilla i would definitely get this instead, it’s a lot better value and it lasts way longer!

Very nice fragrance and a safe blind buy. Not heavy or overpowering at all, saying that, I wish it was a little stronger as it isn’t very noticeable on the skin after about half an hour or so. The bottle - just, why? The silly stuck on fluffy thing and white stuck-on panel on the back of the bottle - looks like a 7 year old has done it as part of a craft project at school. It’s a good job the ugly bottles that the Middle Eastern fragrance companies use don’t put us off buying the perfumes because they wouldn’t sell that many to the western market I’d bet!

Just got a well aged decant of this and I had to review it immediately. Creamy, soft, so smooth and approachable. This is incredible. I recently bought a full bottle of Her Confession from Lattafa, which is in the same genre of luxurious body lotion fragrances. Very well blended, hard to pinpoint notes but it is a truly gorgeous scent. Slight sweetness, the plum is not overbearing fruity at all, I get mostly musky softness, a hint of creamy coconut, sweet praline, velvety orris and vanilla of course. Divine!!!

At first I got Cloud DNA but it's settled after a few weeks. Very pretty! Feminine, clean, fruity, musky opening. Settles into a sweet vanilla. Not gourmand. Based on notes/scent, it's a dupe for Ari Mod, NOT SILK SANTAL. All day longevity on clothes and skin, intimate-medium projection. I'd categorize this with: Mod Vanilla Silk Santal / Khair Felicity Dama Bianca / Junoon Noir Goddess / Angham Empire Victor If you like those, you should try this. It goes on sale for around $20 on Tiktok.

I just gotten this fragrance from Paris Corner and this perfume smells ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. It smells like a intermingle of, Kayali Wedding Silk Santal 36 with Angham by Lattafa or the OG Khamrah, with a hint of MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 DNA. I do have these fragrances in my collection, EXCEPT, Ariana Grande MOD Vanilla. I do not know how it truly smells, but may one day purchase it. Anyways, it's sweet and creamy, type of fragrance that you can wear in all seasons.

If you get this cheap, then it's a steal. It is similar to the Mod Vanilla, pretty much. Lasting power is weaker, so you have to overspray it. Beautiful vanilla with plum and musk, very comforting, cozy, girly. Love it and the bottle doesn't look or feel cheap to me, I actually like the back and the fluffy pompom on the front. Recommend.

This is my favorite vanilla! I'd describe it as a sweet, powdery cashmere vanilla. Pairs well with all lotions and lasts about 9-10 hours on me but it's very low on sillage so I use it for bed. I think it's perfectly balanced and sweet. This smells like a $100+ perfume but I got it for 25 back when it was on Amazon.

This is a dupe for the wedding silk santal when we thought it was not coming back. This fragrance is stronger than the OG and last much longer! Musk, vanilla forward. Love this fragrance!!

Mod Vanilla + The Wedding + Cloud. It's light and airy, Vanilla-y, fruity, and has a little of the baccarat DNA. Last a long time. I like it but it's not something that smells original.

Blind bought this and after one spray bought a second bottle. It is fantastic! I haven’t smelled mod but it reminds me of mind games queening, which is a current favorite scent.

My unproblematic queen. Such an easy reach and unlikely to be offensive to anyone in my opinion. Very similar to Mod Vanilla and better sillage/longevity.

I blind bought this perfume, and I hit the jackpot! It smells so good on my skin, it's very comforting cozy scent that's good for day and night!

Tried a sample and fell in love, needed a full bottle right away. Definitely comforting and reminds me of being cozy in a sweater with hot tea.

This is a very nice, warm vanilla to my nose. It's very pleasant and non-offensive. It can be worn on its own or layered easily.

This is a daydream in a bottle. it’s juicy, airy, soft, sweet, feminine and an easy reach. Great for any occasion, any season.

So fresh & clean! There's this sparkling, effervescent quality to it. I'm not getting a lot of sweetness like others seem to.

My favourite perfume atm! sweet, elegant and just such a beautiful, clean vanilla. Get heaps of compliments when i wear it

I love this perfume! It lasts for many hours, morning till late evening on my clothes. Sweet and warm, very comforting.

surprised nobody has compared this to ana abiyedh rouge - this one’s just smoother w/ more vanilla! love at first sniff

A more affordable Mod Vanilla! I have both, and Mod Vanilla is simply smoother and stronger with better longevity. :)

If you like vanilla and are looking for an easy reach, this is your girl! Non-offensive, cozy & a tiny bit sexy :)

I had to let my bottle sit a while. The alcohol was too overwhelming at first. I sprayed some out and waited a couple of months, and that did make a difference. Initially, I get mostly the plum and the musk. As it goes into the drydown, it becomes sweeter and more vanillic. In the deep drydown, I get a faint whiff of the coconut along with the vanilla and the composition becomes more powdery from the orris. I don't really get praline at any point, but I'm sure it's there in the background adding to the sweetness. I think the best season to wear this is spring. It could be a bit heavy on hot, humid days. I would say that the projection is moderate for the first four hours, with a small scent bubble after that. Longevity is pretty decent--approximately eight hours. I like this way better than the other plum-forward fragrances I've tried (especially Teriaq Intense--just awful). That said, I have to be in the mood for it. I wouldn't necessarily call it an easy reach.

Not bad for less than $30! It's nothing crazy but if you don't want to spend too much on a nice floral/fruity/vanilla then this is a great option. It's not a gourmand vanilla, you get all the florals, Plum, and a softness from the musk and a clean vanilla all from the start. It's linear so it doesn't take you a journey. It's something that you could wear to all occasions without fear of offending anyone. I have not smelled Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla but many people say it's very close to that. I will say that it lives in the same family of Sol de Janiero 40 and Kayali Silk Santal.

I liked this right out of the package upon delivery. Its very light. I sprayed a LOT. This is very inoffensive. This scent would be great for the office or even on an airplane. I wish it was stronger and had more projection and sillage. I am a 58 year old woman and I have over 300 fragrances. This is in my top 20. Reminds me of Felicity and Dua's 'Wanderlust in Paris' (Wanderlust In Paris is stronger)

I didn’t think much of this at first, it didn’t project or last long. BUT, I tried it on again today, on well moisturised skin this time, and wow, what a difference!! It projects so well, it left a scent trail and the dry down is gorgeous. Leans quite powdery, but I love powdery scents. It’s delicate, feminine and musky sweet. Just gorgeous. Cute bottle too.

Beautiful scent. Sparkling vanilla with a woody base. I’d actually switch the coconut base note with a sandalwood note on the pyramid. I just wish it lasted longer!

I was too hopeful about this from looking at the notes and accords. At first sniff, I was SO let down. There was so little scent, and it left no impression. Like always, I waited and it's better. I get some of the praline and orris (a fave) but... the scent only lasts as long as a deep breath. I get a good whiff and then it's just gone. Maybe longevity will improve with more time?

Very sweet, reminds me of Sol De Janeiro 62.

Update! Ha a day later Ok ok I was slightly harsh at first ...I was initially smelling it on a strip and clothing and in the air where it did indeed smell like Burberry Goddess/Angham. But, I put it on an hour ago, on skin and I’m not getting the harsh lavender that I do from those others after all! Thank goodness! Would I still say they’re similar? Yes!! If you have the others? You don’t really need this! And I do still get the Angham/BG likeness for a few mins then it fades a bit.Now I really want to get my nose on mod vanilla BUT I’m weird about Ariana Grande scents as I actually do enjoy a few! I love cloud for the air yet creamy vibe and the sweetened lavender I really enjoy! (But I think the price for what you’re getting is just too much!) I discovered layering this with Soft, enhanced them both a bit and brought out the vanilla most. Anyway, I think this will be a nice spring and fall vanilla, it’s not gourmand, which is cool. 4/8/25 Am I losing my mind?? Everyone said this would be similar to mod vanilla, but I’m getting Angham or Burberry Goddess!??

This was an impulse purchase from Tiktok shop. All I’m about to say is do not trust fragrance reviews with the orange shopping cart. This is too sweet and boring. I cannot detect any powdery notes. It smells the way it’s priced unfortunately in this case.

This is a lovely perfume With this one and like many other middle easterns , please give it time to sit and rest especially if purchased online In transit with movement and heat or cold the scent can be off when you first spray Mine (like most of them) hardly smelled of anything at all Fast forward 2 weeks later I get a sweet sugary flowery lovely gentle but not weak pretty perfume for such a bargain I have not worn it out yet just at home bc I’m still waiting for it to get stronger and i believe it will Because it has come such a long way in such a short time im sure its not done yet So i cannot speak yet on longevity but i can say this smells really pretty It really resembles the same vanilla sweetness of Burberry goddess and angham minus the lavender. No lavender at all but everything else about those scents is exactly this.

Oh wow this is amazing!!! I Thought this was going to be like every other lattafa,fragrance world, Paris corner hype that disapoints. The musk is not sharp or middleastern. Its not too sweet. Its such a wonderful scent. If you like vanilla mod from ariana grande or wedding silk santal from kayali you will love this. The vanilla is soft and sweet. The praline its so feminin. The coconut adds some creaminess. The plum is not dark, or gives a weird smell. The plum only add some fruityness to the perfume. This is 10/10 if you like a great vanilla to wear everyday. Its soft and its close to the skin.its not sunscreen or lotion. Its not soapy, not schampoo scent, not juvenile, its not laundry smelling. Its not middleeastern smelling. This is just a really great blind buy! The perfect your skin but better ❤️

Such a lovely fragrance. I love love love the sweet vibe of the plum on my skin. I love the musk. I can’t distinguish the remaining notes. I just know this is well created fragrance. Very feminine and pretty!!!! I’m glad it is in my collection. I don’t find it as a dupe to wedding silk santal. It is in the same family though. KA SS is more berry/grape like in the opening with a nuttiness from the praline. Cotton Malaki is more plum like. Disclaimer I love a plum note.

I get Orris a dry vanilla a little bit of coconut and musk... to me this smells like vanilla powder. It’s like it’s little sister. To me yet.i just got it got and will come back if anything changes so far it’s a no I don’t need any other powder vanilla

One of the best layering vanillas that does not smell cheap or to gooey. Very versatile. If you been wanting a perfume form of 40SDJ get this. Iv had mine for a year 1/2 & still smells great. I know sometimes they get worse not this one. Blind buy safe

Loooove love it! I does smell like Cheirosa 40 mixed with Cloud, I guess that's what Mod Vanilla smells like. Veryyy pleasant, stays long enough on clothes and skin but the projection is more intimate.

A beautiful and soft scent! Very similar to ”W.S.S” and ”Khair Felicity” but it has more vanilla in it and I LOVE THAT! To bad that it doesnt last long on the skin. I give the scent a strong 8,5/10!

In the beginning I get a whiff of cigarette smoke? Luckily it goes away pretty quickly and dries down into a powdery sweet musk. Smells like being buried in freshly cleaned blankets.

Omg!!! There is a cigarette smell but in the most pleasant way???? I don’t even know but I love it!
