Empire Crown

After my bad experience with Shiyaaka Silver, I was actually quite hesitant to buy another frag from Khadlaj. But my finger somehow added this Empire Crown to my cart in a discounter (together with 2 other frags) lol. Long story short, this fragrance amazes me. A wow! I can't believe this smell really smooth for 25€, which was the price when I bought it. I am not saying it is 150€ smooth (be realistic guys!), but I can say it is the best 25€ frag I even purchased. The opening to early mid down it is so close to Sospiro Vibrato (I don't have Tygar to compare). When I was about to write this, I spray Vibrato on my back left hand, and Empire Crown on my back right hand, so close. But dry down is what separated them, as Vibrato turns to classic smell reminding me of the 90s in good way, while Emprire Crown is quite linear. I am surprised this frag gets relatively less hype (but good for me tho). Projection and longevity is also decent to great on my skin. Final judgement: would I buy it again? Yes!!!

I have Empire Crown from Khadlaj and Rue Broca Theoreme. They are both clones of Tygar, which I don't have because I earn my money and I don't spend it on perfumes and watches that cost triple digits. Both are gorgeous and similar, but not identical. Empire Crown is more woody, more mature and Theoreme is more citrusy, sweet and less mature, good for clubbing and going out with friends. If you love this dna and wish you could where it at work, dressed up, but also when you go out with friends, than your wish is fulfilled: Empire Crown for work and Theoreme for casual situations.

This + rue broca theoreme are better tygar implementations then turathi. Close 3rd the Maison alhambra one. Hard to find nowadays, theoreme is easier to find, cheaper and probably a bit more long-lasting.

Here I am wondering if this has better longevity than "Tygar" or "Turathi Blue". It looks like the perfect freshie...

Such a great take on the bvlgari tygar DNA, I get about 7-8 Hours longevity with good projection, its refreshing, citrusy and great for summer. It could compete with turathi blue but its not talked about as much so I do see this under the radar but very slept on. Great from Khadlaj id highly recommend, see my review on tiktok @fragflexion🙌🏻 8.5/10 For me.
