Al Qiam Silver

My favourite signature scent right now. I’m honestly so glad this is affordable because I’d be upset if it wasn’t. It smells way more expensive than what you pay for it. The projection is crazy. A few sprays and it’s out there. It leaves a trail and people will smell you. Performance has been solid too. I get hours out of it without needing to respray. What I like most is how sweet and smooth it is. It’s fresh, but there’s a noticeable sweetness that makes it really easy to wear. Compared to Turathi Blue, which sometimes goes kind of tangy and almost sweaty on my skin, this stays clean and sweet the whole time. Turathi can have that sharp, ambroxan, warm skin vibe that reads a bit like BO to me. Al Qiam Silver doesn’t do that at all. Even when I go nose blind to it, if I smell directly off my skin, the sandalwood is very noticeable and it’s really nice. It gives it that creamy, slightly woody backbone that keeps the sweetness from feeling cheap or overly sugary. It just smells smooth and well put together. This one feels brighter, smoother, and more balanced. No harsh metallic edge, no weird sweaty undertone, just fresh, slightly sweet, and really likeable. For the price, it’s kind of a steal. Easy signature scent.

Amazing grapefruit scent! Fresh, light, a bit unique, and elegant. Perfect for work or enclosed spaces. Excellent longevity, especially on clothes, still noticeable after 6–7 hours and after coming back from work, this is my benchmark. The bottle is solid with a good cap and atomizer (especially for the price unlike the overpriced Gucci Guilty Elixir that has a joke of atomizer...). The design is quirky but much lighter than typical Lattafa bottles. Smells nearly identical to Turathi Blue, especially in the opening. I didn't test Tygar, but I love this scent profile. Compared to TB, this feels fresher and airier. TB has that typical Middle Eastern "funk" note, which put me off once I noticed it and Al Qiam Silver DOES NOT have that at all. Incredible value at around $24. Super versatile, inoffensive, and ideal for daily wear. I keep a small rotation, and this fits perfectly alongside BDC EDP for more formal occasions. PS stop falling for that bull cr*p maturation mambo jumbo, it's something all fragrances do but if you don't like it at first, the fragrance WILL NOT magically transform, so better test first

@cristiionut98 below me, I can assure you that some fragrances will in fact smell completely differently to their first couple of sprays, and Al Qiam Silver along with Eternal Oud were my first experiences. It doesnt happen all the time but this experience is particular with budget fragrances since they are usually sold before they have time to be well blended. This fragrance was my first Tygar experience and because of its hype I could not understand what the raving was all about coz all I could smell was vetiver bitterness; very unappealing. I was honestly gonna throw it away but kept going back to it and after a few months it had completely transformed. Quality control is getting better though, so this could be getting less common.

Abre com uma explosão de cítricos suculentos (como toranja), especiarias e um acorde salino/mineral proeminente. Evolui para um coração amadeirado seco (sândalo, cedro) com toques de vetiver terroso. É fresco, vibrante e tem uma base de alta qualidade. Pontos Positivos Acorde Salino/Mineral: A nota marinha não é aquática tradicional, mas sim salina e mineral, conferindo uma sofisticação única e nichada. Excelente Longevidade: Para um perfume com tanta abertura cítrica, a fixação é notável, durando muito mais que a média da sua categoria. Projeção Distinta: Projeta de forma potente, mas elegante, garantindo a presença sem ser excessivamente agressivo ou pesado.

Cool banana's I'm the first review!!! Guys.....this one is so nice, its a clone of bvlgari tygar, its pretty much a 98% clone, its my number one freshie that I normally grab, fresh grapefruit with ambroxin and light woods, simple but super effective scent and always enjoyable, compliment getter. I personally love the uplift it gives me, I feel very zen for the rest of the day when I have it on. People say its unisex but nah! This scent is masculine, I have even worn this on a super cold winters day and somehow it still cuts through the cold. 10/10 this one is a staple for me, never will stop wearing it

This cologne opens up with a very citrusy (identical to grapefruit) smell and also musk. As this cologne sits on your skin, it only begins to smell better. Super fresh smell, perfect for spring and summer, and to just get that fresh sense. Smells very expensive. Similar to Bulgari Tiger but not identical, I actually prefer this one more. The only problem I have found is it doesn't last too long, probably around 4 hours before it dies out, but it does last on clothes well. I would suggest somewhere in the 8-10 spray range for optimal use. 4.8/5

I don't know what Tygar smells like but Al Qiam Silver smells absolutely amazing, it's signature scent worthy IMO. It's very fresh but unlike anything I've ever put my nose on, it gets me so many more compliments than my other freshies probably because it's strong and projects really well for a fresh fragrance (and because it smells great ofc). Performance is 10/10 as well especially if you take the price into consideration. I'll keep wearing this one for life as long as Lattafa keeps making it.

Outstanding fragrance. The Grapefruit note is very good and fresh a kinda reminds me of Light blue forever and Italian Love, so if you enjoy the Grapefruit in these kind of fragrances, you will like this one as well. The Ambroxan is also very present and helps to keep the citrus note for longer. Projection and longevity is on the moderate side, but for this price just re-apply it during the day. It is amazing and I will hit this fragrance a lot in the upcoming summer!

Smell is just amazing, it is really close to Tygar, maybe slightly sweeter and less versatile. I like it way more than Turathi because it feels not that synthetic. I also got tired of Turathi after 2 sprays, it was very closing. Al Qiam is much more intimate. I can't say it has some solid longevity like Turathi but the smell itself is lovely. It might need to be reapplied during the day also I didn't like atomizer - it feels pretty cheap and doesn't spray much

Great everyday signature scent. I live in the desert so it never gets too cold but I've worn this on our colder days and still got a solid projection and sillage for hours. Leaves a great refreshing scent trail and gets solid compliments. I can see how some people can feel it doesn't last, however in my experience that's been more of a nose fatigue issue than a performance issue as I've gotten compliments far after I thought the sillage was gone.

Nose Note #75 If you thought there was something missing in Bleu de Chanel, then get this. Just what it says - grapefruit and ginger. Very beautiful combo. A bit soapy. Very manly. Memorable My wife liked it Longevity is great, sillage is better than average Hard to describe how much I like it. I wanted to try it for a long time with my spider senses tingling, telling me I'm onto something, and the senses didn't fail me. Love at first sight.

Very similar to Jean Lowe Immortal, which of course is to be expected. Quite nice quality, no alcohol or anything , the price is very good , nicely blended. So as long as someone likes the DNA, they should like the fragrance. I was looking for a fragrance to add to my freshies as we are getting to summer (we get quite the scorching summers here in Greece) and this will work just fine :) 9 out of 10 for what I want it for :)

to me this is totally unisex. it's a nice scent, but it lacks any assertive notes which would make it even slightly masculine. the scent is kind of pleasantly muted/clouded: it is as if you are sniffing someone else's perfume left on your clean white cotton shirt. a bit powdery, somewhat sweet, citrusy and soapy, but distant, like a memory. mind you i am talking about scent character, not its performance.

Smells expensive .. Thank God they used normal ambroxin in this one . The Thurathi blue version has a cheap ambroxin in it that is unbearable. Al Qiam opens up bright imagine Goldfield and banks ginger but takes a different direction very quickly. It becomes warmer making it more versatile other than " just a summer scent " . It smells high quality , fresh , warm sophisticated. Highly recommended 👌

From the bottle this has a really realistic grapefruit smell. When it dries, you get a lot more of the musk and sandalwood. I've gotten many compliments on the smell. It can be smelled 2 feet away for like two hours then it becomes a skin sent for 1 more hour. The smell is addictive but it won't be noticeable unless you spray it on multiple times per day. Also its better to spray more of this one.

A very pleasant and lively smell, that everyone will probably like. For the first few minutes smells alcoholic, but very nice after that. Unfortunately, the projection is underwhelming. Lasts ~7 hours, but you can smell it in the air for only an hour, practically a skin scent after that. Anyway, for the price that i got it ($28) there's no reason not to buy it.

This is a great gym, active day fragrance. Really good for the summer. It lasts around 6 hours on my skin, projects well for the first 3. It is very close to Tygar, I’d say 80% close, and in my area, you can buy 18 bottles at the price of a single Tygar bottle. One of the best value to price ratios of the whole EM ecosystem. Love this.

Very close to Tygar, in fact closer than Turathi Blue. There is this sharp ginger note and more Ambroxan than Turathi Blue which is more about juicy grapefruit. If you want an almost copy clone of Tygar get this one, if you want something more performing get the Turathi, which is less airy and slightly sweeter and longer lasting.

Not impressive on first spray but I put it away for a while to settle for a long time and after revisiting it truly makes Tygar and Sospiro Vibrato obsolete IMO. My only complaint at this time is that the collar of the bottle seems to leak slightly and I don't like the bottle design. Scent and performance wise its great.

Smells like Sprite. Lovely fragrance, signature scent worthy for warm weather. One of the best fresh parfums in my collection, great for summer. Longevity is what you'd expect from a citrus freshie. Has a tangy sweet kick but not in a sickly and overwhelming way (like a lemon-lime soda). Blind buy worthy.
