Ejaazi Intensive Silver

I have never smelled LNDLH or Blue Electrique, though that was part of the inspiration for buying this. Whether this is a good clone is frankly irrelevant, because this juice smells amazing! Up front I get a dark aromatic citrus with sweet jasmine-like floral hints, just enough oceanics to give it a fresh lilt, and a creaminess that begins to express itself as amber, tonka and smooth cedar within the first 20 minutes. Not a gourmand, nor the prototypical middle eastern sugar overload, but with a subtle sweetness that makes this accessible to young and old, and a four foot projection that makes it good for the office or a date night, but not a clubber. This is delicious, gorgeous, and I can't stop smelling it. This is a fresher, lighter take on the style of Givenchy Gentleman EDP or Azzaro Most Wanted By Night. Did I mention that I got it at fragrancebuy with a coupon code for $12 for 100ml? I would have very happy with this fragrance for $50, but at $12? You can buy a big bottle and still have plenty left to buy LNDLH. Enjoy this for what it is.

Lattafa Ejaazi Intensive Silver is make no bones about it, a better performing YSL La Nuit de L'Homme. I do not know why Fragrantica doesn't list it as a note, because when I spray it on all I get is cardamom with a slight citrus. The mid is cedar heavy with a slight seas note similar to Guess Homme Seductive Blue. The base is amber, that said I do think there is some spice in the base. Ejaazi Intensive Silver is fall and winter scent that could slightly work in spring and summer. That said I do think it only really works for nights, not days. I can see this working for dates and dressing up. That said, I guess if I get asked about this, I'd say it is Intensive Silver. Ejaazi Intensive Silver is the best of La Nuit de L'Homme clones I've smelt. I've owned Michael Jordan Flight, the Alexandria clone, Zara Night Pour Homme III and Guess Homme Seductive Blue. This is the best. Guess Homme Seductive Blue honestly has more character but I really enjoy the smell and performance of Intensive Silver. Intensive Silver gets a 8.4 out of 10.

#379 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Given how Lattafa usually differentiates Gold and Silver scents, I was expecting a Blue freshie here. Not really. As with Ejaazi this triggered memories of YSL La Nuit De 'Lhomme Bleu Electrique, except for the heavy amber. Aspects of Percival as well. I don't have Kilian Vodka on the Rocks, so I can't say. But again, I do not care. It's a great scent that performs, though not as long-lasting as Ejaazi because of the marine note. BUT it has a fab mossy note Ejaazi lacks, and I LOVE me some moss. For me it differentiates a man's fragrance from a woman's fragrance. I don't think any woman I've ever met has worn a scent with a moss note. For me the moss is what makes Aventus a great scent. Not sure this is carpool, elevator or even office appropriate. Probably not. But probably a slightly safer date scent than the gold bottle version of Ejaazi that's made with way more ambroxan, which at that level women who wear Grand Soir and Angel Share might think you're making it a competition.

I picked this up for around £15 and it’s a decent enough everyday non offensive fragrance but it’s smells nothing like Bleu Electrique after doing a side by side comparison through all three stages of wearing it. Gets maybe closest in the mid but even then that watermelon not remains for me which takes it away from YSL BE which to me is much deeper (duh it is four times the price!) This is fresher and has an almost watermelon like vibe when first sprayed which is pleasant and not overly synthetic to my nose mixed with that mineral smell sea water. Performance wise 4-6 hours but at that price it can ride along in gym bag and get spritzed again when it is required. 100% blind buys are at the price point for me and just an easy pick up and spray choice when I don’t want to use the premium options Value 10/10 Scent 7/10 (maybe 7.5) Longevity 7/10 Sillage 7/10 Repurchase when run out - Yes Blind buy safe - Yes

Here’s another example of giving a fragrance a real chance. This was a blind buy and I was NOT thrilled with the opening. To me it was a summery fragrance but nothing spectacular. Problem is, I was testing it on a piece of paper instead of my skin. Then I finally sprayed it before bed to give it a chance and then the magic happened. Although it’s a nice summery fragrance , it dries down to a softer/creamy clean scent. I absolutely love this !! Opening is 6 out of 10 As it dries down 9 out of 10 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESPECIALLY UNDER $25 Edit: This is closer to JPG On Board than Bleu Électrique. Not sure who decided this is BE but you don’t get that elegant spice in the open. It does align closer to On Board , soft opening with a hint of marine notes.
