Viking Dubai

I traded away my bottle of Sospiro Vibrato a few months ago, I have several different scents built around the Tygar ambroxan citrus DNA. I loved Vibrato, but there was a note in there that was off-putting to my wife that she did not detect in other Tygar-style frags. I had heard of this brand before and tried a couple of their offerings in stores. I saw this in a local perfume store and tried it on a whim and my wife was obsessed with it. I sprayed it on a test paper strip and I could smell it strongly still multiple hours later and even the next day over 24 hours later, it was still easily detected. I have a few other frags with the same DNA, but this is much closer to Vibrato than Tygar for sure and it has great staying power. It's an absolute steal of you get a bottle for under $65. I had left a longer review talking about my experiences with the bottle o ordered on eBay for $26 shipped. Deals that sound too good to be true often are. I received a counterfeit bottle! I waited weeks for it oxidize and smell right and it never did and had weird chemicals in it that made my nose feel funny and unable to smell anything else after smelling it Beware fellow Fragranticans! I got to compare the smell of my bottle to an original recently and mine was 100% fake! The wild thing is that it was in a real bottle, my theory is that the factory making the actual glass bottles and packaging in China for Bharara are either selling fake juice in the same bottles or selling the empty vessels to another party that is putting fake stuff in them. Buy from trusted sellers only. I did get another bottle from Jomashop a few weeks later. This basically starts off as Vibrato but has a beautiful creamy sandalwood dry down, somewhat similar to Bleu De Chanel EDP while still keeping some.of the fresh citrus and ambroxan. It's and absolute stunner with great performance and smells much better than a lot of the cheap clones using this DNA.

@AmouageElixir that new bottle is likely fake. The first bottle I bought online, after trying it in a store in person, was fake. I have a real bottle I got later and it's very hard to tell them apart. The fake one even smells somewhat similar but makes me go noseblind to everything after smelling it. I can't even imagine what kind of chemicals are in it. You wouldn't think such an intricate bottle would have fakes floating around. The only tell tale signs were a slight seam in the middle of the round sides of the glass of the bottle that's not there in the real one, the sticker on the bottom was for Viking Beruit, the bottom of the bottle filled with juice isn't as deep, and the box has a white Styrofoam liner in between the felt and cardboard and the real one has a thick quality black foam material. Be careful, lots of counterfeits out there. I never would have thought fake Bharara Viking would be a thing, but it is. I would also have to disagree with @Afrikano. I find this much closer to Vibrato than Tygar. It has the florals similar to Vibrato that are absent from Tygar.

Just received this and must say it is more similar to Vibrato than Tygar but can understand why some people say it reminds them of Tygar. There is definitely less emphasis on the grapefruit but more on the fizzy ginger notes. I am also getting a slight smoky/earthy touch initially on my skin but that may just be my skin chemistry. However, that soon went. When spraying on skin you can definitely see a sheen on the skin which is understandable as the fragrance contains 30% oil concentration. Therefore be careful when spraying on clothing to avoid staining. Can't really comment on the performance yet as have just only opened it so will let it sit for a few weeks and update later. You can really tell that the ingredients are quality and niche for a cheaper price. For £50 I am very pleased to add to my collection as could not justify paying for the OG due to it's cost and look forward to see how it develops.

I really like this. $60 for vibrato but done smoother, lasts longer and projects better? What more could you ask for. I will be picking this up soon. I have a 5ml decant currently and I am in love. Literally identical to vibrato, I have them side by side and it is indistinguishable, and the scent does not feel cheap at all, high quality ingredients. I really recommend this if you like that iconic creamy ginger DNA. Great dupe, you can tell they spent their time perfecting the scent. 8.3/10

Perfume tem uma apresentação muito bonita e com boa qualidade, o cheiro é fenomenal... pra quem gosta do vibrato ele vai te atender muito bem por um ótimo preço, mas não chega a ser um clone e sim uma boa inspiração, talvez alguns vão até achar um pouco melhor, pois ele trás um pouco mais de madeira, vindo com uma proposta um pouco mais séria. Perfume excelente pra blind pois a agradabilidade é altíssima. Perfomance me parece também bem similar ao vibrato!
