I just received my bottle today and WOW...this is a SMOOTH bleu fragrance! It has all the smooth relaxing vibes of late dry-down Sauvage, but the vibrant opening feel of BDC and a mid-stage of nothing I've ever experienced before...this is AMAZING!! Understated...but powerful!! The woodiness of this fragrance is astounding! But it's a smooth woodiness...not the type that chokes you when you get a waft of it...even after immediate application! I'm guessing that's the Ambroxan cause it's friggin amazing!! I can see this being my dumb reach for anything where I'm dressed down, it's smooth and understated...but smells sooooo manly and woody and awesome! EDIT: Now I think I know what this smells like..."Versace-Dylan Blue" minus the overbearing nose-searing incense and pepper notes!! I LOVE IT!!!! EDIT: Given how long the woody base of this lasts and pushes/projects, I get the feeling that I can layer weaker fragrances on top of this and it will make them last longer and smell better! I'm looking for a bright grapefruit fragrance to layer on top of this for the summer! EDIT: The atomizer on this thing is like...miniscule...I'm considering rebottling this fragrance because the sprayer is just...not good. EDIT: Decanted the remainder of this to a 50ml bottle...might be time to buy more. Now that I can actually get a great spray, I've been using this up like mad! lol...great stuff...great value...buy buy buy...spray spray spray!!

#386, 387, 388, 389 in my "Tour de Fragrance" First, three Lattafa scents not in the database I've tried and recommend: #386 Baroque Rouge 540 - exactly what you'd think it is, and a good one. #387 Baroque Rouge Extrait - Exactly what you'd think it is, and a good one. #388 Baroque Satin Oud - a very good oud scent, not a good dupe of Oud Satin Mood IMO. On to #389 Ejaazi, the gold bottle version. My first impression was YSL La Nuit De L'Homme Bleu Electrique without the nuclear ambroxan and an atomizer that really sucks. There's really nothing that came to my mind as directly comparable even though I've smelled something like this again and again. Is it kinda like Fragrance One Office. Yeah? Is it kinda like Ajmal Amber Wood? Yeah. I mean, it's kinda like any amber bomb you could name, right? That's the nature of the ambroxan beast. Personally, I really don't care. It's a great scent that performs like a great scent. May be too Middle Eastern for some Western tastes. Usually for me that just means it's a Winter scent that's off-limits for carpool, elevator, close spaces and the office. It means the girlfriend who really likes original ADG is absolutely gonna hate it. It means this scent is the opposite of versatile, so I may not have frequent opportunity to wear it, but it's good enough I will certainly find opportunity to wear it.

I blind bought this as it went on sale on my favorite shop and grabbed it for around $10. What can I say, it's terrific value for money. Opens up with a very very faint citrusy smell and immediately the ambroxan comes forward with a hint of woody notes to back it up. I believe that's where it stays for most of the time and it just does not progress much. I feel it's quite linear, but I don't think it's a bad thing. I would not call this a clone of anything to be honest, it's certainly not the most unique and can be easily categorized as a blue fragrance but I feel like this one has a lot more going on than just a simple freshie. Because it falls in the same DNA as a lot of other mass appealing fragrances, this will probably get you compliments. However, the bottle that I have doesn't seem to project that much for me. It stays as a skin scent for most of the time or I might be going noseblind to it, who knows. Last time I wore it, I could smell it a good 6 hours on me as a skin scent. As others have said, the sprayer on this is quite bad. You need to spray yourself at least 15 times to get a good amount with this. It just sprays the tiniest amount. Because it's so affordable, you can just reapply this if you have the chance and you're good to go. Could be worn basically everywhere and at any time.

Nose Note #566 This is the epitomy of a scent that smells like everything else and nothing at the same time. It can be best described as a very very far shot at Dior Sauvage (hence Banderas The Icon upvotes). It's very difficult to deconstruct it note by note because it's blended in a way that smells like a muddled puddle like the great many perfumes from a rackstore like Pepe Jeans, Police, Hollister, Antonio Banderas, Abercrombie, Benneton and many others. There is something about them that's just undescribable. I guess you can say it has a citrus accord, a woody accord, some pepper and ambroxan, but that's as untelling as anything. And! Here comes the weirdest part. It excels in this territory! This is the best of the best example of a generic modern slightly sweet aromatic mens fougere. Just like there was a generic mens fragrance from the 90-00s we now have the générique of the 10-20s. Mostly thanks to Sauvage, I guess - it's the main inspirer. This is not half bad really. If you are tired with all the UAE dupes being niche, this may suffice all your needs. 7.8/10, the utmost best of a generic modern mens perfume

Bought a 2nd bottle because my first unfortunately had a defective collar and ended up evaporating and affecting the fragrance. Over all, a great cheap fragrance with more than acceptable quality, the distinctive of this fragrance is that deep, rich and juicy Blood Orange note... I've never smelt anything like it, the only thing that has a similar citrus going on is Dior Homme but even it doesn't come close. This has an intoxicating opening, the dry down is not so interesting but it has an alluring super woody, masculine smell to it, so if you're into stuff that is modern but with an old school masculine touch (LNDH, Dylan Blue, BIR Coral Fantasy) this is for you. Lasts around 4-7 hours. I applied 6 sprays today and it lasted me around 4 hours, considering it was a 40°C day I'd say it did pretty well. Also fun fact, i decanted my old bottle into an old 100ml cologne bottle and after i filled it up there were like 10ml still left on the ejaazi... considering there was like 70ml left of it after the evaporation it means the full size of this supposed 100mL bottle is around 120-130ish milliliters.
