‘My go-to perfumes as a millionaire Dubai wifey’ if you want to smell expensive and the £25 dupe that screams luxury
Soudi of Arabia loves to share what her life is like as a Dubai millionaire wife, and in a recent TikTok video, she revealed the perfumes she wears to smell expensive.
The video was captioned “my go-to perfumes as a millionaire Dubai wifey” and she was seen opening several perfumes and spraying them on herself before describing the scents.
She told her 1.2 million followers: “The first rule when it comes to dating a millionaire hubby is obviously smelling and looking 10 out of 10.
“I always get asked what are my favourite perfumes and what I spray.
“I have to say, you always have to go for an oud-based perfume if you want to smell good all day.”
The first perfume she tried was from the brand Kayali by Huda Beauty.
Saudi said: “I’ve got the rose oud and the notes are lemon, rose and obviously oud with vanilla.
“It’s giving super sexy and very feminine. I think it’s a very good oud to start with, especially if you’ve never tried it before.”
The exact perfume Soudi tried was the Ougasm Rose Oud perfume by Kayali, which is priced at £119 for 50ml bottle.
To get a real sense of what it smells like, the product description online for the perfume reads: “An ode to the queen of flowers – AKA, the rose – this comforting aroma is crafted with passion and sensuality to reflect the warm and sultry scent of a fresh bouquet.
“Featuring notes of sparkling and playful pear, carnal and rebellious rose damascena, this long-lasting fragrance comes together in a unique blend that’ll envelop you all day long.”
Next up, Soudi opened a Bakhoor burner which is an electric burner or incense-style diffuser that releases fragrance when switched on.
The fragrance she was trying was the Oudgasm Vanilla Oud which is priced at £95 for just the scented wood.
The TikTokker said: “I’m gonna show you exactly how to use it because so many people don’t know how to do it.”
Inside the pot was small pieces of wood that had been soaked in the fragrance and dried and then placed inside the Bakhoor burner for the scent to be released.
Oud is known as the five thousand dollar per pound scent, and is by far one of the most expensive raw fragrance ingredients in the world.

“If you wanna smell like a rich Khaliji girl, I’d definitely recommend this,” Soudi remarked.
Two mini perfumes were then tested that were “perfect for travelling” or “putting in your handbag”.
The first perfume was “tobacco with notes of Mandarin, white honey, geranium, and Vanilla”.
She sprayed it on herself and said it is “definitely Jamal’s favourite” scent that she wears.
The second miniature perfume was Cafe Oud with “notes on this is cappuccino, geranium, white musk, and vanilla”.
She said she had never smelt something like this before, describing it as “different” and “unique”.
As for what other perfume fans think of the perfumes Soudi tried in her video, Kayali’s Ougasm Rose Oud has received mixed reviews online.
One fan wrote on Sephora’s website: “To say that I love this perfume, is an actual understatement. This by far is my favourite Kayali perfume.”
Another gave it five stars and commented: “The best way to describe this scent — expensive!
“Every time I wear this, I smell like a very well-paid, lady of luxury who only every flies first class. It’s mysterious and sexy with a hint of sweetness.”
A third said: “My first thought when I sprayed the perfume was like woody-true rose smell, which was exactly what I was looking for.
“I honestly think this is my new go-to scent. It does last a while too, and I love a very bold perfume.”
But one customer was not happy with the scent and wrote: “Atrocious. I was so excited for this and blind bought it.
“I like rose so I thought it would be pretty. It smells like old man. Very heavy and woody. I know it has oud but this is just over the top and masculine leaning.”
Someone else gave it a one star rating: “Love the vanilla version. I’m not into oud but love Kayali fragrances so I had to give this a try knowing rose and oud equal way too mature. And I was right. This aged me 50 years.”
If Kayali fragrances are out of your price bracket, The Essence Vault has a dupe for less than £25.
Inspired by Velvet Rose and Oud – 101 smells “just as good as the original” according to fans.
