Just Azraq

* Great fresh and sweet/gourmand hybrid fragrance * The love child of Aventus/Club de Nuit Intense and Invictus Victory Elixir * Good blend of sweet, fruity, spicy, vanilla, smoky, herbal, woody and patchouli musk aromas * Strong appealing notes of pineapple and cardamom in the opening * Nice vanilla, incense and coconut notes on the mid and drydown * Good performance * Great price * Designer quality for discount price * Great for younger users * Might lean too masculine for some female users thanks to the incense and patchouli musk * Pineapple note may throw off those who were looking for a straight Victory Elixir clone * May come off as suntan lotion to some noses due to coconut note * Not good for those who dislike sweet fragrances Fragrance World's Just Azraq is a peculiar but great fragrance. It's hyped as a clone of Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir, so buyers may be surprised by the fruity pineapple opening. It's more accurate to call this a cross between Creed Aventus/Armaf Club de Nuit Intense and Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir. It's got the sweet, fresh and fruity pineapple opening of Aventus or Club de Nuit Intense and then delivers the mid and drydown of Invictus Victory Elixir. This is a good blend of sweet, fruity, spicy, vanilla, smoky, herbal, woody and patchouli musk aromas. You will definitely pick out pineapple, coconut, vanilla, incense, patchouli musk, cardamom and lavender. All the notes are strong and well-blended, though the coconut note may remind some noses of suntan lotion when they catch it. The pineapple and cardamom opening may also throw off those who were looking for a straight Victory Elixir clone -- or make this even more enjoyable if you like the Aventus/Club de Nuit Intense DNA. This is unisex, though some female users might find the incense and musk make this lean too masculine for them. Gourmand lovers should appreciate this. Those who dislike sweet fragrances should avoid, everyone else should love. Performance is good, and the quality to price ratio is exceptional. Designer quality for discounter or rack store price. Highly recommended.

This stuff is fantastic! I got it for like $23 on Amazon, smelled just like a slightly rough version of Invictus Elixir right out of the fresh bottle, with a nice pineapple twist, after a few months it smells super smooth compared to when I first got it and that pineapple addition makes it almost like more of a hybrid of Le Beau Le Parfum and Invictus Elixir (which already had many similarities with Le Beau LP). Very versatile fragrance, won't work in the super high heat, but any other situation it should be fine for. Absolutely crazy quality for the price, the most impressive FW frag I've tried to date with the possible exception of Liquid Brun. Incredible stuff especially after maceration. 9/10 for quality, 8.5/10 for scent profile. The scent profile is a little basic compared to what I usually wear, but it's till very beautiful for a designer clone and I like it better than the original Invictus Elixir due to the tweaked notes.

I have Victory Elixir and this is actually very close. In fact I think that due to the way the slightly fruitier opening is presented here, it later helps to produce even more of the effervescent, sparkling vanilla that Victory Elixir is known for. And once the fruity notes dissipate on Just Azraq, the remnants of it give push and lift to this fragrance that even the original doesn't have. And, if that sparkling vanilla effervescent effect is what draws you in on the original Victory Elixir, then I have some good news for you!!! This one is a long lasting, strong projecting and super sexy smelling effervescent vanilla and incense fragrance with a beautiful bottle, great price and from a brand that is increasingly surprising me lately. I honestly think I may prefer this one, but I'll have to spend more time with them both to know that for sure.

My girlfriend’s favorite cologne on me, out of everything else she chose this 🤯 can’t believe this $20 dollar middle eastern name I can’t even read makes me smell more appealing to my girlfriend lol insane. If you like sweet colognes this is a must buy. More chocolate powdery sweet with that deep amber and slight spice. This twist on invictus victory elixir is one of the best scents I’ve ever smelled! The downside is the Longevity is 4 or less hours very weak but the smell is the best scent and temu has travel atomizers pack of 50 for $8 bucks lol nicer atomizers also I really like the cool ones on there check them out (also the bottle isn’t my favorite but the juice inside is)

the scent becomes truly enjoyable after resting for 3 days. the opening is slightly synthetic to my nose, but after 5-10 minutes, it develops into a creamier blend of cardamom and pineapple, which strongly reminds me of Le Beau Le Parfum. as it transitions to the drydown, the fragrance focuses on vanilla and tonka bean, with a subtle hint of chocolate that distinctly resembles Invictus Victory Elixir. so in conclusion, the fragrance opens with the Le Beau Le Parfum, while the mid to drydown shifts to the warm and seductive character of Invictus Victory Elixir. Scent 9/10 - Longevity 8/10 - Projection 8/10. Overall 8/10

Smells even better than victory elixir, downside is that a new bottle will need to macerate for a month which has helped all my middle eastern frags (though not all were worth it I’ve literally seen the process work) and the longevity seems to be not as good unless I’m going nose blind but I say 4 hours. 4 hours on a inexpensive fragrance you can just reapply that smells better than the OG just needs a month or 2 of love

So after wearing it for a couple days and resting it, I have to say its improved greatly. The sharp synthetic opening has toned down incredibly and its now atleast 80-85% similar to victory elixir. The longevity and projection are much better also. I love the atomizer I think its really good and for the 18$ dollars this costs its a must have on your shelf heck maybe even a staple fragance.

Tried jpg le beau EDT and paradise garden at the weekend and I prefer the drydown of this over them. Very impressed for £9! Update: After wearing this a couple of times it's ok, but it doesn't feel particularly special. It's a nice scent, but just doesn't have that high quality feel. Decent for the price but I don't love it.

Very interesting and good chocolate cake twist on the Victory Elixir DNA. Performance is very decent as well after some maceration. I've gotten more compliments wearing Just Azraq than with Victory Elixir, but most people are still sleeping on this one it seems. For 22 Euros this is one of my best purchases of the year 2024.

Chocolate note opens up at exactly 16 min. Very powdery sweet in the sharp/cloying sense for the first half hour and only about 70% similar to victory elixir in my opinion. Projection is average and duration is atleast 5hr. Not bad by any means for the price but probably better for the cold and to use at night.

I'm a fragrance novice who was searching for a signature scent. I tried a sample of Blue Cobalt elixir and fell in love and went searching for a clone that was more affordable. For the first 10 minutes this ain't it. But after that this is damned close. lasts 7+ hours on my skin with decent projection.

This is very close to Victory Elixir after dry down, performance is almost the same, victory elixir being a little bit stronger. If you don't have the budget for Victory elixir, just get this, but if you really want the refined version and a little better performance go with the OG.

You need to let this one mature with some air in the bottle. It's crazy good for a $15 but it takes time to really reach it's potential. Smells pretty much like Victory Elixir with a pineapple twist that works very well. Great performance too!

This is Victory Elixir with a pineapple twist. It smells like the pineapple note from Le Beau. It's a really fantastic fragrance and longevity is outstanding. A little fresher than it's inspiration.

Never smelled invictus victory elixir but this one is really great. I love from the first spray to the dry down. Strong projection and long lasting too. With that price, it's like a steal.

Smells like a coconut cookie to me. Very creamy and smooth. Lasts about 4 hours with good projection. Has amazing lasting power on clothes. I would definitely recommend this one.

Yeah, the chocolate cake / Nesquik powder vibe makes this one unique. Trained noses pick this up immediately! An idiot like bobfive5(!) obviously not.

The first time I sprayed it, it smelled like coconut cookies. After 3 months of maceration, it became like a freshly opened coconut.

Nice fragrance. havent smelled the original but yeah theres something similar to orientica Exclusif Bleu (Layton clone)

Smells very close to 9pm but more dense

So, a little misleading to say it smells exactly like Invitus Victory Elixir, but it's similar! This is not going to have the POWER of Invictus Victory Elixir. Which lasts about 30 hours lol and projects like crazy after it's sprayed and shoots up your nostrils. Instead, Just Azraq is a lighter perfume, still stronger than a cheap EDT, and has a different opening. It smells different in the opening, with more alcohol smell (also smells different in the drydown). After a few minutes it smells very similar to Invitus Victory Elixir. The big difference here is the suede (leather) note. Or, to me, it almost smells like powdered chocolate. Found it on eBay. It's a good scent for the price. I'd wear it on almost any occasion, anytime of the year. I still prefer Elixir, but it's a nice alternative to Elixir when I'm wearing Elixir a lot! [Tip: respray after 6-8 hours for projection it you're going to wear it all day!]

Just got this after Ash from Gents Scents was recently raving about it, out of the bottle all I’m getting is masses of sickly sweet coconut which is overpowering every other note, hoping in the dry down the other notes will come through but I’m doubtful, maybe I should give it more time before writing a review but should my feelings change I’ll update. This is a cheap frag & initial impressions were that’s it likely to have decent performance, however an hour or so in & it’s already faded significantly to the point it’s hard to even now smell it, so how usable it is I have no idea until I’ve worn it for longer, but time will tell.

I got this recently and wore it for the first time today. I don’t think it’s a one for one of elixir. It’s pretty close but I feel like it’s missing some sweetness. The opening is pretty harsh to me with a strange hookah type smell. It goes away after about 15 minutes and dries down the scent it’s cloning. Pretty decent performance. About 6 hours for me. The pineapple makes it smell a little different. Not sour but just a different kind of sweet from the original. I still would get this if you want a cheaper alternative of Victory Elixir. It will definitely scratch that itch.

It's legit just the better version of Victorioso Victory by Maison Alhambra. Doesn't smell like axe chocolate but It does have a hot cocoa powder smell to it and it reminds you of Invictus Victory. I can smell the Tonka cardamom vanilla incense slight pineapple hot cocoa powder. It smells good definitely was worth the price of 20 bucks. Layer this with Montale Chocolate greedy or the best cocoa cheapie Choco Musk and thank me later.

I really like this, spot on scent profile for Invictus Victory Elixir. I really like that DNA but couldn’t justify spending the amount they wanted for a full bottle especially with how much I already have in my collection. But since this was less than $20 I figured why not, and it does the job just as fine. For the price, value and scent profile I’d easily give this a 8/10

very fresh. not bad, nice cheapie. Close to le beau, it did satisfy my nose and is pleasant to smell with medium to strong projection and somewhat long lasting. paid around 25 CAD for it if anyone's curious.

Heavenly vanilla scent. Who even needs Elixir for triple the price?! Well done Fragrance World!

This reminds me of Y Elixir with coconut.

Its very weak shitty fragrance. The smell is not even like invictus victory elixer, it smells more like, le beau of JPG then just the emo version... i don't get why all the people on youtube saying its very close to invictus V elixer Nonsens. Just got it today. Very bad scent. Its fcking very weak.

I've had this maturing for 6 months now. While the scent is amazing and very close to the original it sadly does not project. Sits super close to the skin for 8 hours but to smell it you have to lean in. It's a bust sadly, but on the good note it was only $20

This or FW Invicto Victorious Elixir?

Bought a 50 ml. on the cheap. What a chemical mess. Some off-putting chemical smell that is there from.opening to dry down.

I HAD to leave a review for this one. I have about 70+ colognes in my collection. Niche, designer, and dupes/middle eastern. Just received this one yesterday and straight out of the box this is 90-95% the same as Victory Elixir (upclose). 100% the same in the air. Longevity, eternalll. Performance absolutely fantastic and basically the exact same juice as the OG. I HIGHLYYYY recommend it, as someone that is in love with victory elixir, having both makes me motivated to enjoy it even more often and for cheaper. For 20$, this is a GREAT DEAL!!!

Just received this 2 weeks ago, and so far I'm a little disappointed. The price justified the purchase for an attempt to find a nice affordable warm Pineapple Vanilla combo. I only smell the pineapple in opening but it leaves within 5 minutes. It then transitions into a mint bubblegum smell. Imagine you just bought a fresh pack of Trident mint gum, pop a piece in your mouth and smell the wrapper it sat in. Add a touch of the fresh powder smell from Sauvage EDT and you end up with Just Azraq. Maybe it's just my nose but I don't get anything warm and cozy from this. Great value at $25 for someone looking for a minty sauvage twist. Maybe this is what Victory elixir smells like but I have never smelled it. If so, I'm very happy I bought this for a fraction of the cost of the OG.

Someone told me she could tell I was around because she picked my scent. She also let me know it smells very nice to her. She was about 3 meters from where I was but the was a wall between us at work. I definitely cant smell it that much on me, even when walking around even though I catch whiffs time and again. conclusion; it lasts and projects well, don't overspray even if you cant smell it. For the second time, someone told me that my presence is felt even when I am in another office. BIG CAUTION : This thing punches way above the way it presents itself, I cannot smell it except during and after a few minutes of application (I am very anosmic to this) yet 4 hrs later someone gave that comment . Oh! and it seems to get compliments from other people too.

Fruitier opening, like Victory and Le Beau Parfum-ish, but settled to Victory Elixir basically. Side by side very similar after half hour or so. Victory pushes harder and last longer plus quality stands out but for the price, great. About 8 hours here, after 4 weeks shelf. Clones hitting the mark atm

I agree with westbrick hopefully the drydown is smoother and less intense 😬 Edit: it does chill out into a nice albeit strange vanilla also no choclate cake Mf's noses are misfiring this is very nice and masculine tho while still being sweet but its VERY STRONG don't get noseblind fr. 7/10

The reviews for this fragrance give me a headache lol. Comparing it to everything from aventus to invictus VE. It smells like a cheap version of Invictus VE plain and simple. Not the best, but it gets the job done if that’s what you’re looking for

Smells like the cocoa butter Vaseline if you want that as a fragrance get it 🤷♂️

its cheap, feels cheap, smells cheap
