Shaheen Silver

This is my first review on fragrantica. After wearing it on a very special day for me I decided to write a review. This fragrance is a great dupe/inspired by Creed Aventus. If I were to tell you how it smells, it is more of an Aventus Absolu clone, but taking away most of the fruitiness and putting forward the background of Absolu. In the opening you get a very slightly fruity and citrusy top note that slowly fades away and leaves this extremely green smell, a bit marijuana like even. -Performance: It lasts quite a while on my skin and I can smell it for hours on end. Good sillage, leaves a trail. -Vesatility: Very versatile, could probably wear this anywhere, in all seasons. -Should you buy this? It's redundant if you have any other creed dupes, especially SNOI as that one smells extremely similar. Price to what you get is really nice though, so yeah it's worth a buy. DON'T BLIND BUY THOUGH... Although appealing to most people, it's not something that everyone would wear. -Are there any better alternatives? Yeah, it's the greenest of the bunch, but CDNIM Limited is more appealing, SNOI is also more appealing. -Overall: 9/10 when considering the price. Great green fragrance. Very masculine. EDIT: I've done some more sniff-sniff and now I can safely say that there is more out there. Hypnotic Amber by Arabiyat, its better in every way to my nose. Another fragrance that goes on its own way compared to Aventus and Hacivat, but that one is just a better scent and has better performance. Do with this information as you will. Do smell the other before buying.

Arguably a better Afnan SNOI for me and the best interpretation of this DNA; at about €24 this is a no-brainer after trying almost all the options available. Theres not much to add off whats already known about the scent except for me this is probably the smoothest of all, which is definitely an unpopular opinion. The blackcurrant is fruiter and smoother and the smokiness is a lot more rounded making it a better overall blend, more natural smelling than SNOI. Performance is good as well, does last easy 5-6 hours on my skin with good projection for the first 90 mins or so. I can imagine the performance being better post-maturation, so I will update the review accordingly. Presentation is okayish, I am not a fan of the overly heavy cap and the bulky bottle (perfer SNOI here for sure) but it does scream quality. Overall, for me personally this is as good as it gets from this DNA among all the clones; at half the price, this is an underrated and under-appreciated offering that often gets overlooked for the likes of SNOI and CDNIM. Lattafa has done a great job with this and you should try it out! Highly recommended!

Damp Forest in Jewelled Greens with Dappled Sunlight... This is inspired by Aventus Creed, although the pineapple facet is muted here in a really lovely way. The main experience here, is like walking beside a stream through a damp forest in rich, dark shades of green. Above in the tree canopy, dappled cut-outs allow shafts of citrus-y sunlight to filter through and illuminate the shades of green in jewelled tones. Opens with with a burst of fruity citrus featuring bergamot & cassis, but any sharpness from fruits is muffled through a mossy filter of oakmoss & musk that swells up from the base. Patchouli is there too, with damp, earthy tones. I also get an impression of vetiver (though it isn't listed), and some fresh, cedar-y pencil shaving notes. The performance is well above average. and it's super well blended. I got a free 20 mL sample of this and I was pleasantly surprised. It's unisex, and anyone could wear it, but leans masculine to my nose. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Shaheen Silver by Lattafa is a great Creed Aventus dupe—and in today’s crowded field of Aventus clones, it can be hard even to choose one. In this “war of clones,” Shaheen Silver stands out with its low price, solid quality and absolutely luxurious presentation: from the premium paper box to the beautiful bottle topped with a metal falcon-shaped cap. Longevity and projection are slightly above average, making it a dependable daily wear. Lattafa has truly done a good job with this release, and it has earned a well-deserved place in my collection. Scent: 4.5/5 Longevity & Projection: 0.5/1 Presentation: 1/0 Quality/Price Ratio: 1.5/2 Compliment Factor: 1/1 Uniqueness: 0/1 Overall: 8.5/10 Office-friendly: Yes Blind buy: Yes (if you like Aventus-style fragrances) Recommended age: 20+ Occasion: Office, smart casual, evening outings Season: Spring, Summer, early Fall

Lataffa Shaheen Silver is a STRONG performing fragrance. It performs very well. It last super long (8+ hours) on my skin and days on clothes. I am amazed how beastmode this fragrance really is!! I had a bank teller (that was working behind a solid plexiglass frame) tell me that I smell very nice. It's crazy because I was only in line for less than 3 minutes. Several people asked me what I was wearing and I just said "Creed Aventus". Lol.. I knew they wouldn't recognize the name Lataffa Shaheen Silver. This fragrance is definitely in the same vein as Creed Aventus DNA. If you like a strong fragrance that performs and smells nice..THIS IS IT!!👍
