Sheikh Al Shuyukh Supreme

I like it. It is fresh from the opening, and you get this sweet, caramel-like drydown. In my opinion, you can wear this year-round; it's versatile enough. Maybe not in the highest summer heat, but on a cool evening? why not? There are enough alternatives on the market for this scent profile, but none of them beat its price. It is so cheap, but smells great. The bottle is a mess, though. I do like the frosted blue glass, but apparently, they use the same front decal as the Luxe Edition. On my bottle, you can clearly see the original letters shimmering through the thin gold print with a misaligned "Supreme" decal. The cap is flimsy and light, and it also says "Luxe Edition." It made me wonder if it was real, so I checked the Lattafa website, and I do have a genuine bottle. I've uploaded a picture to the Fragram section so you can see the shimmering 'Luxe' text under the 'Supreme' print and the Luxe cap for yourself. But honestly, that is nitpicking. I paid only 14 euros for this bottle, and it smells very nice. For such a low price, it is a no-brainer.

Been giving this one a few wears after buying it a couple of weeks ago. I already have the OG Scandal Absolu and Armaf's Mandarin Sky in my collection. Based on the reviews I expected a clone of the Absolu-version, but in my opinion it's not fruity/woody enough to be called an exact clone of that. It misses that delicious plum-note in that regard. It's much closer to the original Scandal and very close to Mandarin Sky. I find this one a bit better than Mandarin Sky. It's cleaner and opens fresher, while Mandarin Sky is very good but for me it has a sharp edge in the drydown. Performance is equal on both this one and Mandarin Sky, which is a compliment because they both last and project above average. Altough imo it's not a clone of Absolu, I really love it. It's the OG Scandal but made even slightly better/more pleasing because of the freshness 🏆

Really nice scent. Sweet floral, mixed with warm, rich vanilla and caramel. I think it is the vanilla and caramel that almost gives it a slight coconutty sunscreen feel. A lot of ppl think this is a winter scent... but I lean more fall/spring. There many cozier, richer, deeper scents that are more suited to winter. The sweet floral (rose) in this, gives it a bright feeling (spring/fall), but the rich, warm sweetness, would be too cloying for summer. I see most people feel this leans masculine. However, I would say it is def unisex... maybe even leaning feminine! Vanilla, caramel, and rose.... all ensure it is not more masculine.

I have Armaf's Check Mate King, which is much more like the original, but I really liked this "fresh" version. It has a touch of mint and citrus at the top, which makes it more suitable for warm days, and it also softens the strong lipstick scent of the iris (maybe I'm wrong, but I can still detect a bit of iris). As it dries down, it becomes more like the original, but not as sweet, although it still retains the noticeable fresh notes. Being a bit redundant in this last phase, for me it's a good variation suitable for the summer time, so I don't mind having both. Great value for money!

Today i got a compliment for the first time that wasn't from my family or girlfriend. Cashier at pharmacy who was not close to me asked the cashier who was serving me to ask me what I'm wearing, so it must have been strong, but mind you it was after bashing 20+ sprays just before leaving, so maybe 10 minutes earlier. Anyway soon there were 3 girl cashiers chatting with me about perfumes because they were surprised it was middle east perfume. (and from their reaction it was clear they had an ick towards arabic frags, but they liked this one. Especially that one cashier xd)

Opens fresher than JPG Scandal, with a beautiful mandarin-cream accord that really shines. The opening is vibrant, and after about an hour, the mandarin swing comes full and smooth. Longevity is impressive and over 8 hours even without maceration. For the price I paid, this is an absolute steal. I would recommend it and yes, I’d buy it again. Worth noting: compared to similar scents, this one feels brighter and more energetic. I’ll let it macerate and follow up with an update.

This is absolutely amazing. Liking scents is very subjective - but this scent profile really hit the spot with me. Love it! Used it fresh out of the box yesterday and it was just a wonderful experience from start to finish. I re-sprayed after 6 hours as I like to smell fresh but it was still going. Scent on clothes is still there 24 hours later. This is gonna be in my heavy rotation for sure.

Pretty good scent, especially considering the price tag. I think it's very close to JPG Scandal or Armaf Mandarin sky....maybe a little more fresh in the opening. The dry down is closer to JPG Scandal absolu. Longevity and projection is decent, I would score it 7/10 .....Personally I like the dry down more than the opening

I have never tried Absolu but the drydown definetely smells the same as Scandal edt. Very good quality and performance, one of the cheapest fragrances ever, 10/10 in all aspects. EDIT: after few months of usage got 3 compliments at the same time.

The notes and accords are wrong. The notes should be mirabel plum, chestnut, and sandlewood. This is Scandal Absolu for the low. Lattafa hit it out of the park with this one. 9/10

Mora da priznaam deka sum iznenaden i deka ne ocekuvav vaka dobar parfem.Sexy,Maški,Zavodlivo.Proekcijata isto taka mnogu pristojna ,trajnost odlicna.Za taa cena prav pogodok

Ok, i have to change my innitial review, from dislike to love. Maybe its the maceration or i got used to the profile. The opening is nice, but the drydown is amazing.

Fresh, strong, rich, exellent aura and lasting power on me and my hb. The price ridiculous. I'm going to enjoy it this summer.

This smells like a bitter Almond Body Lotion, Almost stays linear throughout , and a good perfomer, Cant go wrong for 10$

Fragrantica notes are wrong. Just get this if you want Scandal Absolu for cheap. Certified BANGER!

Wow smells absolutely amazing should be a lot more expensive than it is

I got this few days ago. Never had the OG but very familiar with JPG since early 2000's so I thought I knew what to expect. First, I don't know if there is inconsistency in batches but out of the box this one doesn't live too long. Initial expression was strong, sweet and dense as one would expect in true JPG fashion (and from it's doupes) but after 4 hours it was merely a skin scent. Also it was quite flat or rounded in the sense it didn't really have layers to explore. Might need a month or two to mature but it is still too weak imo and I am thinking that this batch is weaker as it definetely is not a long lasting opposite to most reviews. The second thing I noticed, and this is more of a subjective observation, was that the scent profile is very familiar to female scents from the late 90's. Personally I can't get over it no matter how much I try and even I really want to like it for personal use this one ends up on wifes shelf. At best this can be used for layering. For me this is a fragrance for a mature woman. Elegant, classy and sweet but feminine in it's expression. I can't find anything masculine about it and if I smell it on a man it communicates to me something very specific which I can not associate myself with. I will just have to leave it that. To a discerning palate, this definitely falls short in that regard.

A lot less mandarin then Mandarin sky, and a lot weaker. If you get cardboardy caramel scent from Sky you'll also get that here as well. Decent purchase especially for the price, but a much more synthetic twist on the caramel which I like decently but wouldn't wear over mandarin sky or the OG.

Opens up citrusy then i get the spices and tonka, with a smooth caramel drydown, very good for the price, mass appealing, for colder weather

Why are all these dupes such highly rated? My guess is that a bunch of poors finally found a dupe that they can afford that doesn't smell like shit and call it a 10. While this dupe might smell good, its for women. It reaks of femininity. Yall poors keep bumping that perfume so that we men have more women to choose from.
