Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi

This smells a lot like Ganymede so I'm surprised how nobody has mentioned this till now. I'm wearing both side by side and they're at least 80% similar. I get the same mineral, metallic, airy vibe from it. The note breakdown here couldn't be more inaccurate.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise! It's a fresh soapy lavender fragrance that lasts longer than I expected. Quite versatile and I see this working in any situation all year round. A cheapie hidden gem :)

Got this out of curiosity and it didn't disappoint, well maybe except the performance. Probably the most misleading frag I came across and its quite fresh and uplifting, opposed to what the juice colour would have you believe. I get the similarity with VPH (no relation to BdC at all) but its more creamier and sweeter and less airy or aquatic. Dry-down deviates from the DNA as it gets more woody and tad spicier as you get the myrrh accord. Performance is below average as it is basically a skin scent; lasts for 2-4 hours on skin but the projection and sillage is zero after the first 30 mins or so. The bottle is okayish with average atomizer and very cheap plastic cap. Overall its nothing great, but not exactly bad either for €13, can be used after shower at home as a burner in summers. Don't go out of your way to get it by paying extra though.

To me this is a very masculine fragrance. It's not light at all. I would describe this to be a sweet, spicy, leathery type of fragrance. I think it also contains vetiver and tonka bean (which makes it sweet). It reminds me a bit of 7 Wonders of the World Colosseum Eclectic Collections. It's not a copy , just somewhat in the same alley. To give you a slight impression of what you can expect. I would say this would have somewhat of your typical after shave cologne type of smell with nice extra's. If I didn't already have 7 Wonders of the World Colosseum Eclectic Collections I would have bought a full bottle of Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi. I got Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi as a free sample in one of my orders.

The composition opens with clean, almost soapy notes, while the herbs are fresh in a distinctly fougère style, far from gourmand. Sweetness appears only as a subtle background accent. The overall effect is bright, cooling, and comforting in warm summer air. Extremely pleasant. Longevity is all-day, with a sillage that is noticeable but not overpowering. A high-quality, well-constructed fragrance. While I can easily imagine it as a summer unisex scent, it leans more toward masculine in character.
